Okukweka Ekigambo kya Katonda mu Mutima Gwo

"Ekigambo kyo nkikwese mu mutima gwange, nneme okwonoona gy'oli." Zabbuli 119:11 (KJV) Singa okusaba kwe kussa kw'omukazi Omukristaayo, ekigambo kya Katonda gwe mmere ye eya buli lunaku. Mukama waffe Yesu yagamba nti omuntu tabeera mulamu na mmere yokka, wabula na buli kigambo ekiva mu kamwa ka Katonda. Toyinza kulowooza kubeera awatali mmere okumala ennaku nnyingi — wandinafuye n'olwala. Naye abakazi Abakristaayo bameka abayita buli lunaku, buli wiiki, awatali kusoma, kuwulira, oba kufumiitiriza ku byawandiikibwa? Kyewuunyisa bwe twewulira nga tunafuye mu mwoyo, nga tutabuseeko, era nga buli kizibu kitusuula wano n'eri?

Baibuli si kitabo kya bulijjo. Kyawandiikibwa mu kiseera ekyawera emyaka nga lukumi mu bitaano, abawandiisi abantu abasukka mu amakumi ana ab'enjawulo, mu nnimi ssatu, mu bitundu by'ensi bisatu. Naye erina obubaka bumu obukulu n'Omuwandiisi omu omukulu — Omwoyo Omutukuvu owa Katonda. Buli kigambo kyayo kigasa mu kuyigiriza, mu kunenya, mu kugolola, ne mu kutendeka mu butuukirivu. Bw'osoma Baibuli, oba owulira eddoboozi lya Katonda lyennyini nga likwogera.

Okumala enkumi n'enkumi ez'emyaka, abakkiriza abasinga obungi tebaayinza kwesomera byawandiikibwa. Byakoppololwanga n'engalo, era ekitabo kya Baibuli ekimu kiyinza okuba nga kya muwendo omungi okusinga ekyo amaka gye gaafunanga mu mwaka mulamba.

Ekyuma eky'okukuba ebyapa bwe kyayiiyibwa mu Bulaaya mu myaka gya 1400, ne Baibuli bwe yatandika okuvvuunulwa mu nnimi ez'abantu aba bulijjo, kyakyusa ensi. Ne kaakano, wano mu Afrika ey'Ebuvanjuba, tulina Baibuli mu nnimi zaffe ennyingi — Oluganda, Oluswayiri, Ikinyarwanda, Orunyankole, Luo, n'endala nnyingi. Kino kirabo kya ngeri ki! Tokitwala nga kya bwereere. Waliwo abakazi mu bitundu ebirala eby'ensi leero abatambula essaawa nnyingi okufuna ekitabo kimu eky'ebyawandiikibwa.

Baibuli etutegeeza ku bakazi abaayagala ekigambo kya Katonda. Maliyamu, nnyina Yesu, bwe yawulira obubaka bwa malayika Gabulyeri, yayanukula n'oluyimba lwe kaakano lwe tuyita Magnificat. Bw'olusoma n'obwegendereza, ojja kulaba nti buli lunyiriri kigambo kikoppololwa oba ekyesigamiziddwa ku byawandiikibwa eby'Endagaano Enkadde. Maliyamu yali muwala muto, oboolyawo eyalina emyaka nga kkumi n'etaano oba kkumi na mukaaga, era yamanya Baibuli ye bulungi nnyo, olwo bwe yajjuzibwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu, ekigambo kya Katonda ne kimukulukutamu ng'ettendo. Ebyawandiikibwa bitutegeeza nti Maliyamu yakuuma ebintu bino byonna n'abifumiitirizaako mu mutima gwe.

Yali mukazi eyafumiitirizanga ku kigambo kya Katonda.

Omutume Pawulo yawandiikira omuyambi we omuto Timoseewo ebbaluwa, n'amujjukiza okukkiriza okwasooka okubeera mu jjajja we omukazi Loyisi ne mu nnyina Ewunike. Yagamba nti okuva mu buto Timoseewo yamanya Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu, ebiyinza okumufuula ow'amagezi okutuuka mu bulokozi olw'okukkiriza okuli mu Kristo Yesu. Ani eyayigiriza Timoseewo ebyawandiikibwa ng'akyali muto? Nnyina ne jjajja we omukazi. Tebaalindirira alyoke akule. Tebaagamba nti, "Bw'anaakula, tunaamutuma mu ssomero lya Baibuli." Baatandika okumuyigiriza ng'akyali mulenzi muto. Era ekyava mu ekyo, Timoseewo yafuuka omu ku basumba abakulu ab'Ekkanisa ey'edda era munywanyi omwagalwa ow'omutume Pawulo.

Mu kitabo ky'Ebikolwa by'Abatume, essuula ey'ekkumi n'omusanvu, abatume bajja mu kifo ekiyitibwa Beroya. Ab'e Beroya baayitibwa ab'ekitiibwa okusinga ab'e Sessaloniika kubanga baakkiriza ekigambo n'omutima ogumaliridde, ne banoonya mu byawandiikibwa buli lunaku okulaba obanga ebintu Pawulo bye yabuulira byali bwe bityo. Weetegereze — tebaakkiriza kyokka Pawulo kye yagamba olw'okuba nga yali mutume. Baakikeberera ku Baibuli. Kino kye kyokulabirako ekirungi gye tuli. Tubeera mu kiseera abantu abangi mwe bayigiririza ebintu ebiwulikika bulungi naye nga si bya mazima eri ekigambo kya Katonda. Ekisinga obukuumi ky'oyinza okukola kwe kumanya Baibuli yo bulungi nnyo, olwo omuyigiriza ow'obulimba bw'ayogera, oyinze okugamba mu mutima gwo nti, "Ekyo tekituukagana na ebyo ebyawandiikibwa bye biyigiriza."

Kaakano ka njogere mu ngeri ey'obukwakkulizo. Ofuuka otya omukazi ow'Ekigambo? Ka nkuwe empisa ennyangu mukaaga.

Ekisooka, soma Baibuli buli lunaku. Tandika n'eddakiika kkumi oba kkumi n'ettaano buli lunaku. Soma ekitabo kya Baibuli okuva ku ntandikwa okutuuka ku nkomerero. Enjiri ya Makko kifo kirungi okutandikira kubanga mpi era ejjudde ebikolwa. Oluvannyuma soma Yokaana olw'obuziba bwayo. Soma Olubereberye okutegeera entandikwa. Soma Zabbuli olw'okusaba n'ettendo. Soma Engero — essuula emu buli lunaku, ng'egeraageeganya n'olunaku olw'omwezi — olw'amagezi ag'obulamu obwa bulijjo.

Ekyokubiri, kwata ebyawandiikibwa ku mutwe. Tandika n'olunyiriri lumu buli wiiki. Luwandiike ku kapapula akatono okitwale mu nsawo yo. Lusome bw'oba ofumba, bw'oba otambula, bw'oba owummula. Ku nkomerero y'omwaka onooba okwese ennyiriri amakumi ataano mu bbiri mu mutima gwo.

Zabbuli 119:11 wagamba nti, "Ekigambo kyo nkikwese mu mutima gwange, nneme okwonoona gy'oli."

Ebyawandiikibwa ebikwatiddwa ku mutwe kya kulwanyisa eri okukemebwa. Omulabe bw'akwogerera mu kutu, oyinza okumukuba wansi n'ekitala ky'Omwoyo.

Ekyokusatu, fumiitiriza ku ebyo by'osoma. Okufumiitiriza kitegeeza okulowooza mu buziba, okwekaliriza, okukyusakyusa olunyiriri mu birowoozo byo. Buuza ebibuuzo eri ekyawandiikibwa. Kino kintegeeza ki ku Katonda? Kino kintegeeza ki ku nze kennyini? Waliwo ekisuubizo eky'okunyweza? Waliwo ekiragiro eky'okugondera? Waliwo ekibi eky'okwewala? Waliwo ekyokulabirako eky'okugoberera?

Ekyokuna, yiga Baibuli n'abakazi abalala. Mukuŋŋaane awamu — oboolyawo abamu ku mmwe mu kkanisa yammwe oba mu kitundu kyammwe — musome ekitabo kya Baibuli. Mukubaganye ebirowoozo ku ebyo bye muyize. Musabe awamu. Enkolagana ng'eno enyweza buli omu.

Ekyokutaano, tuula wansi w'okuyigiriza okulungi. Genda mu kkanisa ekkiriza Baibuli, ebyawandiikibwa mwe bibuulirwa n'obwesigwa. Wuliriza n'obwegendereza okubuulira. Wandiika ebiwandiiko bw'oba osobola okusoma n'okuwandiika. Bwe wabaawo pulogulaamu za leediyo ennungi oba ebikwatiddwa ku byuma okuva mu babuulizi abeesigwa mu kitundu kyo, bikozese n'amagezi.

Ekyomukaaga, yigiriza abalala ebyo by'oyiga. Tewali ngeri nnungi ey'okutegeera Baibuli ekusinga okugiyigiriza omuntu omulala, ne bw'oba mwana muto. Bw'onnyonnyola olunyiriri eri mutabani wo oba muwala wo, emirundi mingi ojja kusanga nti Katonda akuyigiriza mu buziba obusingako okusookera edda.

Ka mmalire essuula eno n'ennyiriri ezimu buli mukazi Omukristaayo z'asaanidde okumanya ku mutima.
