KATONDA ALI NAFFE

"Katonda alibeera naawe" Olubereberye 48:21

Yakobo omukadde omulungi yali takyasobola kubeera na Yusufu, kubanga ekiseera kye eky’okufa kyali kituuse: naye yaleka mutabani we nga talina kweraliikirira, kubanga yagamba n’obwesige nti, "Katonda alibeera naawe." Ab’eŋŋanda zaffe be twagala ennyo, oba mikwano gyaffe egitusinga okutuyamba, bwe bayitibwa okuddayo eka olw’okufa, tuteekwa okwebudaabuda n’ekirowoozo nti Mukama tatuvuddeeko, wabula abeera mulamu ku lwaffe, era abeera naffe emirembe gyonna.

Katonda bw’aba naffe, tuli mu kibiina ekitugulumiza, ne bwe tuba baavu era abanyoomebwa. Katonda bw’aba naffe, tulina amaanyi agamala mu byonna, kubanga tewali kintu kiyinza kulema Mukama. Katonda bw’aba naffe, tukuumibwa bulijjo, kubanga tewali ayinza kukola kabi abo abatambulira wansi w’ekisiikirize Kye. Woowe, nga tulina essanyu wano! Si kyokka nti Katonda ali naffe, naye era alibeera naffe. Naffe ng’abantu kinnoomu; naffe ng’amaka; naffe ng’ekkanisa. Erinnya lya Yesu lyennyini, Emmanweri, si lye litegeeza nti Katonda ali naffe? Kino si kye kisinga byonna obulungi, nti Katonda ali naffe? Tubeere banyiikivu n’obuvumu, era tubeere n’essuubi erijjudde essanyu. Ensonga yaffe eteekwa okukulaakulana, amazima gateekwa okuwangula, kubanga Mukama ali n’abo abali naye.

Olunaku lwa leero lwonna ekigambo kino ekiwoomerera kinyumirwe buli mukkiriza abikkula "Ekitabo kya Cheeki eky’Okukkiriza." Tewali ssanyu lisingawo eriyinza okubaawo.

OTULO OTUWUMUZA

"Mukama abaagalwa be abawa otulo" Zabbuli 127:2

Obulamu bwaffe si bwa kweraliikirira, wabula bwa kukkiriza okujjudde essanyu. Kitaffe ow’omu ggulu anaawanga abaana Be bennyini bye beetaaga, era amanyidde ddala byonna bye twetaaga ne bwe tuba nga tetunnamusaba. Noolwekyo tuyinza okugenda okwebaka mu kiseera ekituufu, nga tetwekooya nga tutuula ekiro nga tuteesa, nga tuteekateeka, era nga tusala amagezi. Bwe tuba tuyize okwesigama ku Katonda waffe tetujja kugalamira nga tetwebase ng’okutya kuluma emitima gyaffe; wabula tunaaleka okweraliikirira kwaffe eri Mukama, okufumiitiriza kwaffe ku Ye kunaawoomanga, era Ye anaatuwanga otulo otuwumuza.

Okuba omwagalwa wa Mukama kye kitiibwa ekisingayo obukulu ekiyinza okubaawo, era oyo akirina ayinza okuwulira nti n’okwegomba obukulu kwennyini tekwandyagadde kirala; noolwekyo buli kwegomba okw’obwannannyini kuyinza okwebaka. Kiki ekirala ekiri ne mu ggulu okusinga okwagala kwa Katonda? Kale wummula, ggwe emmeeme yange, kubanga olina byonna.

Naye tweyoolayoola eno n’eri okuggyako nga Mukama Yennyini atuwa si nsonga za kuwummula zokka, wabula n’okuwummula kwennyini. Weewaawo, ekyo akikola. Yesu Yennyini ye mirembe gyaffe, ye kuwummula kwaffe, ye byonna byaffe. Ku kifuba Kye twebaka nga tuli mu bukuumi obutuukiridde, mu bulamu ne mu kufa.

"Nga mmansiddwako omusaayi ogusonyiwa nate,

Ngalamira okuwummula,

Nga ndi mu mikono gya Katonda wange,

Oba ku kifuba ky’Omulokozi wange.

OMULUŊŊAMYA MU LUGENDO LWONNA

"Y’anaatuluŋŋamyanga ennaku zonna okutuusa okufa" Zabbuli 48:14

Twetaaga omuluŋŋamya. Oluusi twandiwaddeyo byonna bye tulina okubuulirwa ddala kye tulina okukola, ne gye tulina okukyukira. Twagala okukola ekituufu, naye tetumanyi lwa mu makubo abiri lwe tulina okugoberera. Woowe, singa tufuna omuluŋŋamya!

Mukama Katonda waffe yeetoowaza n’atuweereza ng’omuluŋŋamya waffe. Amanyi ekkubo, era anaatukulembera mu lyo okutuusa lwe tutuuka ku nkomerero y’olugendo lwaffe mu mirembe. Mazima tetwetaaga bulagirizi bulala butasobya. Twewe ddala wansi w’obuluŋŋamya Bwe, era tetujja kubula kkubo lyaffe n’akatono. Tumufuule Katonda waffe, era tujja kumusanga ng’omuluŋŋamya waffe. Bwe tugoberera amateeka Ge tetujja kusubwa kkubo ttuufu ery’obulamu, kasita tusooka okuyiga okumwesigama mu buli mutendera gwe tulinnya.

Okubudaabudibwa kwaffe kwe kuno nti, nga bw’ali Katonda waffe emirembe n’emirembe, talirekayo kubeera naffe ng’omuluŋŋamya waffe. "Okutuusa okufa" y’anaatukulemberanga, era olwo tunaabeeranga naye emirembe gyonna, nga tetukyavaayo emirembe gyonna. Ekisuubizo kino eky’obuluŋŋamya bwa Katonda kirimu obukuumi obw’obulamu bwonna: obulokozi amangu ago, obuluŋŋamya okutuusa ku ssaawa yaffe esembayo, n’oluvannyuma omukisa ogutaggwaawo. Buli omu tasaanidde kunoonya kino mu buvubuka, n’akusanyukira mu myaka egy’omu makkati, n’akuwummuliramu mu bukadde? Leero tutunule waggulu okusaba obuluŋŋamya nga tetunneesiga kufuluma bweru.

EKIGAMBO, EMMERE EYEETAAGISA

"Omuntu tabeera mulamu na mmere yokka, wabula na buli kigambo ekiva mu kamwa ka Katonda." Matayo 4:4

Singa Katonda yakyagala twandisobodde okubeera abalamu nga tetulina mmere, nga Yesu bwe yakola okumala ennaku amakumi ana; naye tetwandisobodde kubeera balamu nga tetulina Kigambo Kye. Twatondebwa n’Ekigambo ekyo, era kyokka kye kisobola okutukuuma nga tuliwo, kubanga abeezaawo buli kintu olw’ekigambo kye eky’amaanyi. Emmere nsonga ya kubiri; Mukama Yennyini ye nsibuko esooka ey’ebitubeezaawo. Asobola okukola nga tekozesezza nsonga ya kubiri, nga bw’asobola okukola ng’agikozesa; era tetuteekwa kumusiba ku ngeri emu yokka ey’okukolamu. Tuleme kusukkirira mu kwegomba ebirabika, wabula tutunuulire Katonda atalabika. Tuwulidde abakkiriza nga bagamba nti mu bwavu obw’amaanyi, emmere bwe yabakendeerera, n’okwagala emmere ne kubakendeerera; ate eri abalala, ebyetaago ebya bulijjo bwe byaggwaawo, Mukama yabaweereza obuyambi obutasuubirwa. Naye tuteekwa okubeera n’Ekigambo kya Mukama. N’ekyo kyokka tusobola okwaŋŋanga Setaani. Kituggyeeko, omulabe waffe anaatuba mu buyinza bwe, kubanga tunaatera okuzirika. Emmeeme zaffe zeetaaga emmere, era tewali gye zisobola kugifuna ebweru w’Ekigambo kya Mukama. Ebitabo byonna n’ababuulizi bonna mu nsi tebasobola kutuwa kijjulo na kimu: Kigambo kyokka ekiva mu kamwa ka Katonda kye kisobola okujjuza akamwa k’omukkiriza. Mukama, tuwenga emmere eyo buli lunaku. Tugitwala ng’ey’omuwendo okusinga ebyokulya bya kabaka.

OKUWONYEZEBWA OKUJJUVU

"Naye ndikuwonya ku lunaku olwo, bw’ayogera Mukama; toliweebwayo eri abo b’otya." Yeremiya 39:17

Abeesigwa ba Mukama bwe baba babonaabona ku lulwe, banaafunanga obubaka obuwoomerera obw’okwagala okuva gy’ali Yennyini, era oluusi banaabanga n’amawulire amalungi ag’abo ababalumirwa era ababayamba. Ebedumeleki yali Muwesiyopya anyoomebwa bunyoomebwa, naye yali wa kisa eri Yeremiya, bw’atyo Mukama n’amuweereza ekisuubizo kino eky’enjawulo okuyita mu kamwa ka nnabbi we. Tujjukirenga bulijjo abaweereza ba Katonda abayigganyizibwa, era Ye anaatusasulanga.

Ebedumeleki yali wa kuwonyezebwa okuva mu basajja be yali atya okwesasuza kwabwe. Yali muddugavu omwetoowaze, naye Yakuwa yali wa kumulabirira. Enkumi n’enkumi battibwa Abakaludaaya, naye omuddugavu ono omwetoowaze teyayinza kutuusibwako kabi. Naffe tuyinza okutya abakulu abamu abatukyayira ddala; naye bwe tuba tubadde beesigwa eri ensonga ya Mukama mu ssaawa ey’okuyigganyizibwa, Ye anaabeeranga mwesigwa gye tuli. Mu butuufu, omuntu ayinza kukola ki nga Mukama tamukkirizza? Ateeka ekyuma mu kamwa k’obusungu, n’olukoba ku mutwe gw’obuyinza. Tutye Mukama, era tetujja kuba na mulala wa kutya. Tewali giraasi ya mazzi agannyogoga eweebwa nnabbi wa Katonda anyoomebwa eriba nga tesasulwa mpeera yaayo; era bwe tuyimirira ku lwa Yesu, Yesu anaayimirira ku lwaffe.

OKWAGALA KWE; EKIRABO KYE; OMWANA WE

"Kubanga Katonda bwe yayagala ensi, bw’atyo n’awaayo Omwana we omu yekka, buli muntu yenna amukkiriza aleme kuzikirira, wabula afune obulamu obutaggwaawo." Yokaana 3:16

Mu mmunyeenye zonna ez’omu ggulu, emmunyeenye ey’obukiikakkono y’esinga okugasa abaseeyeeya mu nnyanja. Ekyawandiikibwa kino mmunyeenye ya bukiikakkono, kubanga kiluŋŋamizza emmeeme nnyingi eri obulokozi okusinga Ekyawandiikibwa ekirala kyonna. Mu bisuubizo kiri nga Eddubu Eddene bwe liri mu bibinja by’emmunyeenye.

Ebigambo ebiwerako mu kyo bimasamasa n’obutangaavu obw’enjawulo. Wano tulina okwagala kwa Katonda, nga kuliko "bw’atyo," ekiraga obunene bwakwo obutapimika. Ate tulina ekirabo kya Katonda mu bwereere bwakyo bwonna ne mu bunene bwakyo. Kino era ye Mwana wa Katonda, ekirabo ekyo eky’enjawulo era ekitaliiko muwendo eky’okwagala okutaayinza kweraga mu bujjuvu okutuusa Omwana omu yekka ow’omu ggulu lwe yatumibwa okubeera omulamu n’okufiirira abantu. Ensonga zino essatu zijjudde ekitangaala.

Ate waliwo ekisaanyizo ekyangu eky’okukkiriza, ekiraga n’ekisa ekkubo ery’obulokozi erisaanira abantu abazzizza omusango. Kino kiwagirwa okunnyonnyola okugazi -- "buli muntu yenna amukkiriza." Bangi abaafuna ekifo mu "buli muntu yenna" abandiwulidde nga baggaliddwa ebweru singa waali ekigambo ekifunda. Awo ne wajja ekisuubizo ekikulu, nti abakkiriza mu Yesu tebalizikirira, wabula balifuna obulamu obutaggwaawo. Kino kigumya buli muntu awulira nti anaatera okuzikirira, era nti tasobola kwerokola yekka. Tukkiriza Mukama Yesu, era tulina obulamu obutaggwaawo.

KWAYA Y’ENSOZI

"Yogerera waggulu n’essanyu, era jjaguza ggwe ensi. Muyimbe mmwe ensozi! Kubanga Mukama agumya abantu be era alisaasira abantu be ababonyaabonyezebwa." Isaaya 49:13

Okubudaabudibwa kwa Mukama kuwoomerera nnyo, nga si batukuvu bokka abayinza okukuyimbako, wabula n’eggulu n’ensi biyinza okuyimba oluyimba olwo. Si kyangu kuleetera lusozi kuyimba; ate nnabbi ayita kwaya ya nsozi nnyingi ddala. Lebanooni, ne Siriyooni, n’ensozi empanvu eza Basani ne Mowaabu, yandizireetedde zonna okuyimba olw’ekisa kya Yakuwa eri Sayuuni We. Naffe tetuyinza kufuula ensozi ez’ebizibu, n’ez’okugezesebwa, n’ez’ebyama, n’ez’omulimu, okuba ensonga ez’okutendereza Katonda waffe? "Muyimbe mmwe ensozi!"

Ekigambo kino eky’ekisuubizo, nti Katonda waffe alisaasira abantu be ababonyaabonyezebwa, kirina ekibinja ky’ebide ebikivugira. Wulira eddoboozi lyabyo -- "Yogerera waggulu n’essanyu!" "Jjaguza!" "Muyimbe." Mukama ayagala abantu Be babeere basanyufu olw’okwagala Kwe okutaggwaawo. Tayagala tubeere banakuwavu era abalina okubuusabuusa; atusaba okusinza okw’emitima egikkiriza. Tasobola kutulemererwa: lwaki tusinda oba tunyiiga ng’abagamba nti ajja kutulemererwa? Woowe, singa tufuna ennanga etunikiddwa obulungi! Woowe, singa tufuna amaloboozi ng’aga bakerubi abali mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka!

OLUSIISIRA LWA BAMALAYIKA

"Malayika wa Mukama yeebungulula abo abatya Mukama, n’abawonya." Zabbuli 34:7

Tetusobola kulaba bamalayika, naye kimala nti bo batusobola okulaba. Waliwo Malayika omu omukulu ow’Endagaano, gwe tetulabangako, kyokka tumwagala, era eriiso Lye libeera ku ffe bulijjo emisana n’ekiro. Alina eggye ly’abatukuvu wansi We, era abo abafuula abakuumi ba batukuvu Be okubakuuma okuva mu kabi konna. Baddayimooni bwe batukola obubi, abamasamasa batuweereza. Weetegereze nti Mukama wa bamalayika tajja n’agenda, nga atukyalira akaseera katono, wabula Ye n’amaggye Ge basiisira okutwetooloola. Ekitebe ekikulu eky’eggye ery’obulokozi kiri awo abo abeesiga Katonda omulamu we babeera. Olusiisira luno lwetooloola abeesigwa, ne batayinza kulumbibwa kuva ludda lwonna okuggyako ng’omulabe asobola okuwaguza mu nkomera za Mukama wa bamalayika. Tulina obukuumi obunywevu, obukuumi obw’olubeerera. Nga tukuumibwa ababaka ba Katonda, tetujja kukwatibwa mu kikwekweto olw’okulumbibwa okw’amangu, wadde okumizibwa amaggye agasukkiridde. Okuwonyezebwa kusuubizibwa mu lunyiriri luno -- okuwonyezebwa okuyita mu Mukulembeze omukulu ow’obulokozi bwaffe, era okuwonyezebwa okwo tunaakufunanga emirundi n’emirundi okutuusa olutalo lwaffe lwe lulimalirizibwa ne tuwanyisa ekisaawe ky’olutalo n’amaka ag’okuwummuliramu.

ABEESIGWA ERA ABAGASA

"Abeesigwa abali mu nsi yaffe nnaabasanyukiranga, balyoke babeerenga nange; akola eby’obutuukirivu y’anamperezanga Zabbuli 101:6

Dawudi bwe yayogera bw’atyo, tuyinza okukakasa nti Omwana wa Dawudi naye alina endowooza y’emu. Yesu anoonya abasajja abeesigwa, era abasimbako amaaso Ge, okubeetegereza, okubakulembeza, okubagumya, n’okubasasula. Tewabanga muntu wa mutima mwesimbu alowooza nti abuusiddwa amaaso; Kabaka Yennyini amutaddeko eriiso Lye.

Waliwo ebivaamu bibiri eby’okwetegerezebwa kuno okw’obwakabaka. Ekisooka, tusoma nti, "balyoke babeerenga nange." Yesu aleeta abeesigwa mu nnyumba Ye, abateeka mu lubiri Lwe, abafuula banne, asanyukira okubeera nabo. Tuteekwa okubeera abeesigwa eri Mukama waffe, olwo Ye anaatulabikiranga. Obwesigwa bwaffe bwe bunaatuweranga ennyo, bwe bunaasasulwanga obulungi ennyo; abantu gye bakoma okutugaana n’obusungu, Mukama waffe gy’anaakoma okutwaniriza n’essanyu.

Ekiddako, ayogera ku muntu ow’amazima nti, "y’anamperezanga." Yesu anaakozesa ku lw’ekitiibwa Kye abo abanyooma obukujjukujju bw’ensi, era abeesigwa gy’ali Yennyini, eri Ekigambo Kye, n’eri Omusaalaba Gwe. Bano banaabeeranga mu kibiina Kye eky’obwakabaka, abaweereza ab’ekitiibwa ab’Obukulu Bwe. Okussa ekimu n’okugasa ye mpeera y’obwesigwa. Mukama nfuula mwesigwa, ndyoke mbeere naawe, era nkuweereze.

YAGALA EKKANISA

"Olisituka n’osaasira Sayuuni, kino kye kiseera okulaga Sayuuni omukwano; ekiseera kye wateekateeka kituuse. Kubanga amayinja gaakyo abaweereza bo bagaagala nnyo, n’enfuufu y’omu kibuga ekyo ebakwasa ekisa." Zabbuli 102:13, 14

Weewaawo, essaala zaffe ez’Ekkanisa zijja kuwulirwa. Ekiseera ekyateekebwateekebwa kituuse. Twagala olukuŋŋaana lw’okusaba, n’essomero lya Ssande, n’okusinza kwonna okw’omu nnyumba ya Mukama. Emitima gyaffe gyegasse ku bantu ba Katonda bonna, era tusobola okwogera mu mazima nti, "Tewali mwana gwa ndiga mu kisibo kyo kyonna gwe nnyinza okugaana okuliisa; Tewali mulabe mu maaso ge gwe nnyinza okutya okuwolereza ensonga yo."

Bwe kiba nti bonna bawulira bwe batyo, tujja kuyita mu biseera eby’okuweezebwa okuva mu maaso ga Mukama. Enkuŋŋaana zaffe zijja kujjula, abatukuvu bajja kuzzibwa obuggya, n’aboonoonyi bajja kukyusibwa. Kino kiyinza kuva mu kusaasira kwa Mukama kwokka; naye kijja kubaawo, era tuyitibwa okukisuubira.

TETUYAWUKANYIZIBWA NA KATONDA

"Na buli muntu omulamu akkiriza nze talifa emirembe n’emirembe. Ekyo okikkiriza?" Yokaana 11:26

Weewaawo, Mukama, tukikkiriza; tetulifa emirembe n’emirembe. Emmeeme yaffe eyinza okwawukanyizibwa n’omubiri gwaffe, era okwo kwe kufa okw’engeri emu; naye emmeeme yaffe terikwawukanyizibwa na Katonda, okwo kwe kufa okw’amazima -- okufa okwatiisibwatiisibwa ekibi -- ekibonerezo eky’okufa ekisinga byonna obubi ebiyinza okutuuka ku muntu. Kino tukikkiriza n’obukakafu obujjuvu, kubanga ani alitwawukanya n’okwagala kwa Katonda okuli mu Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe? Tuli bitundu bya Mubiri gwa Kristo; Kristo alifiirwa ebitundu by’omubiri gwe? Tufumbiriganyiziddwa ne Yesu; alifiirwa mukyala we n’afuuka nnamwandu? Tekisoboka.

"Mukama amanyi okuwonya n’okuggya mu kugezesebwa abamutya, n’abonereza abatali bakkiriza okutuusa ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango." 2 Peetero 2:9

Abatya Katonda bakemebwa era bagezesebwa. Okukkiriza okutagezesebwa si kukkiriza kwa mazima. Naye abatya Katonda bawonyezebwa ne baggyibwa mu kugezesebwa kwabwe, era ekyo si lwa mukisa, wadde olw’ebikozesebwa ebirala, wabula Mukama yennyini y’akikola. Ye kennyini yeetikka omulimu gw’okuwonya abo abamwesiga. Katonda ayagala abatya Katonda oba abafaanana Katonda, era ategeka bulijjo okumanya gye bali, n’embeera gye balimu.

Oluusi ekkubo lyabwe lirabika ng’ekizimbe ekizingazinga, ne batasobola kulowooza ngeri gye banaawonamu akabi akabatiisa. Kye batamanyi Mukama waabwe akimanyi. Amanyi gw’anaawonya, n’ekiseera ky’anaawonyeramu, n’engeri gy’anaawonyaamu. Awonya mu ngeri esinga okuganyula abatya Katonda, esinga okubetenta omukemi, era esinga okumuweesa ekitiibwa ye kennyini.

OKWESIGA OKUJJUVU

"Ndikuwonya; tolittibwa, olisigala ng’oli mulamu, kubanga onneesiga, bw’ayogera Mukama." Yeremiya 39:18

Laba amaanyi ag’okukuuma agali mu kwesiga Katonda. Abakulu ab’e Yerusaalemi battibwa n’ekitala, naye Ebedumeleki omwavu yali mu mirembe, kubanga obwesige bwe bwali mu Yakuwa.

EMIGUGU EGISUULIBWA KU YE

"Ebizibu byo byonna bireete eri Mukama, ajja kukuwanirira; kubanga talireka mutuukirivu kugwa." Zabbuli 55:22

Mugugu muzito, guyiringisize ku Oyo Ayinzabyonna. Kaakano gwe mugugu gwo, era gukubetenta; naye Mukama bw’agutwala, ajja kugufuula ekitali kya kitalo.

Okutya kwaffe okusinga kwe kuno nti okugezesebwa kwaffe kuyinza okutuggya mu kkubo ery’obuvunaanyizibwa bwaffe; naye kino Mukama talikkiriza n’akatono. Bwe tuba batuukirivu mu maaso ge, talikkiriza kubonaabona kwaffe kutuggya mu kifo kyaffe. Mu Yesu atutwala ng’abatuukirivu, era mu Yesu ajja kutukuuma nga tuli bwe tutyo.

Tuyita mu kiwonvu eky’okukaaba ne tutuuka e Sayuuni.

Yatusonyiwa, ate addamu okutulaba, n’addamu ekigambo eky’okusonyiwa ebibi ebiggya bwe bitunakuwaza. Yatubikkulira okukkirizibwa kwaffe mu maaso ga Katonda, era okukkiriza kwaffe mu mukisa ogwo bwe kukendeerako katono, ajja gye tuli nate na nate, n’agamba nti, "Emirembe gibe mu mmwe"; emitima gyaffe ne gisanyuka.

Abaagalwa, emikisa gyaffe gyonna egy’emabega bubonero bwa mikisa egy’omu maaso. Yesu bw’aba yabeeranga naffe, aliddamu okutulaba. Tolowooza ku kisa kyonna ekyayita ng’ekintu ekifudde ne kiziikibwa, eky’okukaabira; wabula kitwale ng’ensigo esimbiddwa, erimera, n’eyimusa omutwe gwayo okuva mu nfuufu, n’eyogera nti, "Ndiddamu okubalaba." Ebiseera bya kizikiza kubanga Yesu tali naffe nga bwe yabanga? Tugume omwoyo; kubanga tagenda kulwawo. Ebigere bye biri ng’eby’empeewo oba eby’ennangaazi ento, era biriyanguwa okumuleeta gye tuli. Kale tutandike okusanyuka, kubanga ne kaakano atugamba nti, "Ndiddamu okubalaba."

OKUKOOWOOLA; OKUWONYEZEBWA

"Bw’obanga mu buzibu, nnaakuwonyanga, naawe onongulumizanga." Zabbuli 50:15

Kino kisuubizo ddala!

Wano waliwo embeera ey’amangu -- "bw’obanga mu buzibu." Ku lunaku olwo obudde buba buzikidde ne mu ttuntu, era buli ssaawa erabika ng’esinga eyagikulembera okuzikira. Olwo ekisuubizo kino kiba kya kiseera kyakyo: kyawandiikibwa olw’olunaku olw’ebire.

Wano waliwo okubuulirira okw’okwetoowaza, "nkoowoole." Tetwandyetaaze kukubirizibwa: gwandibadde mpisa yaffe eya bulijjo olunaku lwonna era buli lunaku. Nga mukisa okuba n’eddembe okukoowoola Katonda! Nga magezi okulikozesa obulungi! Nga busirusiru okudduka eri abantu! Mukama atuyita okuteeka ensonga zaffe mu maaso ge, era mazima tetugenda kulwawo kukikola.

Wano waliwo okuzzaamu amaanyi okukakasa: "nnaakuwonyanga." Obuzibu ka bube ki, Mukama tayawulamu, wabula asuubiza okuwonya okujjuvu, okukakafu, era okw’essanyu. Ye yennyini alituwonya n’omukono gwe. Tukikkiriza, era Mukama assaamu okukkiriza ekitiibwa.

Wano waliwo ekivaamu ekisembayo: "naawe onongulumizanga. Aa! ekyo tulikikola mu bujjuvu ddala. Bw’aliba amaze okutuwonya, tulimutendereza n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka; era nga bw’ali omukakafu okukikola, tutandike okumugulumiza kaakano.
