Okukulaakulana mu Buwuulu

"Kitaawe w'abatalina ba kitaabwe, era omulamuzi wa bannamwandu, ye Katonda mu kifo kye ekitukuvu. Katonda atuuza abali bokka mu maka." Zabbuli 68:5-6 (KJV) Mu ssuula eyayita twalowooza ku kuyitibwa kw'omukyala Omukristaayo. Naye tetusaanidde kukyusa lupapula nga tetusoose kwogera ku baganda baffe abakazi abatafumbiddwa. Si buli mukazi ayitibwa okuba omukyala. Abamu ku mmwe abasoma kino muli bawuulu era musuubira okufumbirwa lumu olunaku. Abalala muli mu kiseera eky'okulinda, nga temumanyi Mukama ky'anaakola. Abalala mwafiirwa ba bbaabwe ne musigala bokka oluvannyuma lw'emyaka mingi egy'obufumbo. Abalala mwagattululwa oba ne mulekebwa awatali kyammusobezza. Ate abamu ku mmwe muyinza okuwulira nga Katonda abayita okusigala nga temufumbiddwa olw'obwakabaka bwe. Embeera yo yonna gy'eri, essuula eno ya ggwe. Toli muwala wa Katonda wa wansi olw'okuba tofumbiddwa. Oyagalibwa mu bujjuvu, oyitiddwa mu bujjuvu, era osobola mu bujjuvu okuleetera Kristo ekitiibwa ekinene.

Ka njogere lwatu ku kunyigirizibwa bannaabwe abakazi abawuulu abangi mu Buvanjuba bwa Afirika kwe basanga. Okuva mu buto, wabuuliddwa nti omuwendo gw'omukazi gupimibwa ku bufumbo. Ba ssenga bakubuuza lw'olireeta omuntu eka. Abakazi mu katale beebuuza lwaki okyali wekka. Abamu batemya nti waliwo ekitali kituufu ku ggwe, oba oboolyawo nga wakolimirwa. Ab'omu maka bayinza okugezaako okukuwasiza mu bufumbo b'otoyagala. Okunyigirizibwa okufumbirwa — ne bwe kiba okufumbirwa atakkiriza oba omusajja ow'empisa embi olw'okufuna bbaawo bwakabaawo — kiyinza okuwulikika ng'ekikuziyiza okussa omukka. Muganda wange, wuliriza Ebyawandiikibwa bye bigamba. Obubadde bwo tebuli mu kuba omusajja yakulonda oba nedda. Obubadde bwo buli mu nsonga nti Kabaka w'Eggulu yakulonda. Yakwagala ng'ensi tennatondebwa. Yakufiirira ku musaalaba. Abeera mu ggwe olw'Omwoyo we. Tewali bufumbo bwa ku nsi obuyinza okwongera ku ekyo, era tewali buwuulu bwa ku nsi obuyinza okukiggyawo.

Lowooza ku Mukama waffe Yesu yennyini. Yatambulira ku nsi eno emyaka amakumi asatu mu esatu, era teyawasa mukazi. Yali omuntu asinga okuba omulamu mu bujjuvu eyali abaddewo. Yali asinga okwagala, asinga essanyu, asinga okuba n'ekigendererwa. Omutima gwe tegwali mugabanye. Obulamu bwe tebwali butono olw'okuba teyafumbirwa. Mu butuufu, bwali bungi n'okusingawo — kubanga yali wa ddembe okwewaayo yekka mu bujjuvu eri omulimu Kitaawe gwe yamutuma okukola. Obanga obuwuulu bwali bulungi eri Mukama waffe, kale bulungi eri bawala be.

Omutume Pawulo, mu Abakkolinso ow'olubereberye essuula ey'omusanvu, awandiika bijjuvu ku buwuulu n'obufumbo. Agamba lwatu nti omukazi atafumbiddwa afaayo ku by'a Mukama, alyoke abeere omutukuvu mu mubiri ne mu mwoyo. Asobola okuweereza Mukama awatali kusamaawalira. Pawulo tayigiriza nti obufumbo bubi — amaze okugamba nti obufumbo bwa kitiibwa. Ky'agamba kiri nti obuwuulu kirabo ekirina emikisa gyakyo egy'enjawulo. Omukazi Omukristaayo atafumbiddwa alina obudde, amaanyi, n'okussa omwoyo ku kimu, ebintu omukazi eyafumbirwa emirundi mingi by'atalina. Asobola okusaba okumala ebbanga eddene.

Asobola okuweereza mu buziba obungi. Asobola okugenda omukazi eyafumbirwa gy'atasobola kugenda mangu. Asobola okwewaayo, awatali kwegabanya, eri omulimu gwa Mukama we.

Tunuulira abakazi ab'omu Byawandiikibwa abaweereza Katonda n'amaanyi nga tebafumbiddwa. Ana nnabbi omukazi, gwe twasisinkana emabega, yafiirwa bba ng'awezezza emyaka musanvu gyokka egy'obufumbo. Yandiyise emyaka gye egyasigalawo mu bukyayi, ng'ayagala okumanya ekyandibaddewo. Mu kifo ky'ekyo, yeewaayo eri Mukama. Yamala emyaka egisukka mu nkaaga mu Yeekaalu, ng'asiiba era ng'asaba emisana n'ekiro, era yasasulwa nga ye omu ku basooka okutegeera Masiya omwana omuwere. Obuwuulu bwe tebwafiirwa bwereere. Bwe bwali ettaka lyennyini omwakulira obuweereza bwe obunene obw'okusaba.

Malyamu ow'e Besaniya, mwannyina Maliza ne Laazaalo, tewali we kyogerwa nti yafumbirwa. Ajjukirwa olw'okutuula ku bigere bya Yesu ng'anywa okuyigiriza kwe. Ajjukirwa olw'okusiiga Yesu amafuta ag'omuwendo omungi ng'atannafa. Okwewaayo kwe okutali kwa kwegabanya eri Kristo kwali kulungi nnyo, Yesu yennyini n'agamba nti ekikolwa kye eky'okwagala kinaabuulirwanga buli wonna enjiri gy'ebuulirwa, okutuuka ku nkomerero y'omulembe.

Malyamu Magadaleene, Yesu gwe yagoba dayimoni musanvu, yamugoberera mu ntambula ze, yawagira obuweereza bwe okuva mu bintu bye ye, yayimirira ku ntobo y'omusaalaba abasajja abasinga bwe baali baddukidde, era ye yasooka okulaba Mukama azuukidde ku makya g'okuzuukira. Tewali kya mu Byawandiikibwa ekiraga nti yali afumbiddwa. Obulamu bwe bwonna yabuwaayo eri Omulokozi we.

Ludiya ow'e Firipi yali n'akatale ke ak'okutunda engoye eza ffulungu. Tewali bba ayogerwako. Yakulembera ab'omu maka ge mu kubatizibwa oluvannyuma lw'okukyuka kwe. Yasembeza ekkanisa esooka mu Bulaaya mu maka ge.

Ka abe nga yafiirwa bba oba nga teyali afumbiddwa n'akatono, yakozesa eddembe lye, ebintu bye, n'amaka ge olw'Obwakabaka bwa Katonda.

Doluka ow'e Yopa yatungira bannamwandu engoye. Bawala bana aba Firipo omubuulizi w'enjiri, embeerera, baawa obunnabbi mu maanyi g'Omwoyo. Miryamu yakulembera abakazi ba Isirayeri mu luyimba oluvannyuma lw'okusomoka Ennyanja Emyufu.

Emirundi n'emirundi, Ebyawandiikibwa biwa ekitiibwa ekyo abakazi abaali batafumbiddwa kye baawaayo.

Ebyafaayo by'Ekkanisa bijjudde abakazi abawuulu abaabala ebibala eby'ekitalo. Amy Carmichael yava mu Bukiika kkono bwa Ayalandi n'agenda mu Buyindi mu 1895 era teyafumbirwa. Yatandika Dohnavur Fellowship, ekiddukiro ky'abawala abaali bawalirizibwa okuba abamalaaya ab'omu masabo. Yataasa abaana enkumi, yawandiika ebitabo ebisukka mu amakumi asatu, era yaweereza mu Buyindi emyaka amakumi ataano mu etaano awatali kuddayo waka n'omulundi n'ogumu. Mary Slessor ow'e Sukoti, gwe twasisinkana emabega, yayogezebwako emirundi ebiri okufumbirwa naye n'asigala nga tafumbiddwa olw'enjiri. Yatwala abaana enfuuzi mwenda, yamalawo okutta abaana abalongo mu bantu be yaweerezanga mu Bugwanjuba bwa Afirika, era yaggulawo ekkubo ly'enjiri mu bitundu omutaali mubuulizi n'omu eyali agezezaako okuyingira. Gladys Aylward yatambulira ku nsozi za Cayina ng'akulembera abaana enfuuzi kikumi okutuuka mu bukuumi mu kiseera Abayapaani lwe baali balumba. Helen Roseveare yaweereza ng'omubuulizi w'obusawo omuwuulu mu Kongo, yagumira okubonaabona okunene, era yasimba amalwaliro n'amakanisa agakyaliwo n'okutuusa leero. Corrie ten Boom, oluvannyuma lw'okukweka Abayudaaya okuva ku Banazi n'awonawo mu kkambi ery'okusibirwamu, yamala obulamu bwe obwasigalawo ng'abuulira ensi nti tewali bunnya buwanvu nnyo okwagala kwa Katonda ne kutasinga buziba. Buli omu ku bakazi bano yali muwuulu. Buli omu ku bo yakyusa ensi.

Kaakati wuliriza amazima gano amalungi, era ka gakkakkane wansi mu mutima gwo. Tewali Mukristaayo ali yekka mu butuufu.

Wazaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri mu maka ga Katonda. Omutume Pawulo awandiika mu Abaefeso nti tetukyali bagwira na batambuze, wabula tuli bantu b'ekibuga awamu n'abatukuvu era ab'omu nnyumba ya Katonda. Zabbuli ey'amakumi mukaaga mu munaana egamba nti Katonda atuuza abali bokka mu maka. Yesu bwe yabuulirwa nti nnyina ne baganda be baali ebweru nga bamunoonya, yatunuulira abayigirizwa be n'agamba nti buli akola Katonda by'ayagala oyo ye muganda we ne mwannyina ne nnyina. Ekkanisa ye maka go. Abakkiriza abakulu bafuuka ba maama bo ne ba kitaawo mu kukkiriza. Abakkiriza abato bafuuka batabani bo ne bawala bo ab'omwoyo. Bannaabwe abakkiriza ab'emyaka gyo bafuuka baganda bo ne bannyoko mu Kristo. Olina amaka amanene era ag'omuwendo okusinga amaka gonna ag'omusaayi ge gasobola okubaawo.

Kino si ndowooza nnungi buwoomu. Bwe butuufu obw'omu bulamu obuteekwa okubeeramu mu kkanisa ey'omu kitundu. Bw'oba omukazi omuwuulu, teweekweka waka. Jjangu mu kussa kimu. Weeleke omanyibwe. Noonya omukazi omukulu asobola okukulabirira nga maama. Noonya abakazi abato b'osobola okuzzaamu amaanyi. Lya mu maka g'ab'amaka, era yita ab'amaka mu maka go. Kwata Ssekukkulu ne Paska n'abatukuvu bw'oba tolina ba luganda okumpi. Nakuwala mu mikono gyabwe ennaku bw'ejja. Sanyukira awamu nabo mu ssanyu lyabwe. Kino kye omubiri gwa Kristo kye guliko.

Ka njogere mu ngeri ey'obukugu kaakati. Bw'oba omuwuulu mu kiseera kino, oba kaakati oba obulamu bwo bwonna, olina okubeera otya?

Ekisooka, ssa Katonda mu maaso n'omutima ogutali mugabanye. Kino ky'ekiseera kyo eky'enjawulo eky'omukisa. Saba okusingawo.

Soma okusingawo. Siiba oluusi. Muwulirize. Mukkirize abeere okwagala kwo okusooka era okusinga obuziba. Omukazi omutima gwe guteeredde ddala ku Mukama tayinza kunyeenyezebwa nkulungizo z'ensi. Guno gwe musingi gwa buli kimu ekirala.

Eky'okubiri, kkiriza amaka g'ekkanisa. Teweeyawula. Tosigala waka ku Ssande olw'okuwulira ng'otagerageranyizibwa ng'omukazi omu yekka atafumbiddwa mu lunyiriri lwo. Tobuuka okussa kimu okw'abakazi olw'okulabika ng'okujjudde bakyala ne bamaama. Jjangu. Weereza. Yagala ab'amaka mu kkanisa yo. Saba bannyoko abakulu ab'omutima ogutya Katonda batambule naawe. Omubiri gwa Kristo gube maka go, si mu linnya lyokka wabula mu bikolwa bya buli lunaku.

Eky'okusatu, weereza n'omutima gwo gwonna. Olina obudde abakazi abafumbiddwa emirundi mingi bwe batalina. Olina amaanyi ag'okuwaayo. Lowooza ku buweereza obw'ebweru. Lowooza ku kuyigiriza. Lowooza ku kutandika obuweereza eri bannamwandu, oba enfuuzi, oba abawala abavubuka, oba abakazi ab'omu kkomera. Lowooza ku kugenda abalala gye batasobola kugenda mangu.

Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bulina bulijjo okukulaakulanyizibwa mu kitundu ekinene abakazi abawuulu abaali n'eddembe ery'okwewaayo mu bujjuvu. Wayinza okubaawo omulimu Katonda gw'akutegekedde omuntu omulala gw'atasobola kukola.

Eky'okuna, kola nnyo era noonya obulungi obw'ekitalo. Toteeka bulamu bwo mu kutuula ng'olinda bufumbo. Noonya okuyiga kwo. Kulaakulana mu mulimu gwo. Tandika bizinensi. Simba olusuku. Gula ettaka. Yiga obukugu. Wandiika ekitabo. Tereka ssente zo n'amagezi. Ba omukazi owa Engero 31 mu kiseera ky'obulamu ky'olimu. Kumpi buli kitundu ekya essuula eyo ennungi kikwata ku mukazi omuwuulu nga bwe kikwata ku eyafumbirwa. Omukazi omuwuulu omukozi era atya Katonda bujulizi bwa maanyi mu mulembe ogw'obugayaavu n'okwemulugunya.

Eky'okutaano, kuuma omutima gwo n'omubiri gwo. Obulongoofu bukulu nnyo. Toweeyawo eri omusajja atannaakwewaayo mu maaso ga Katonda ne mu maaso g'Ekkanisa. Togendera n'abatakkiriza, ne bwe baba nga ba kisa oba abalabika obulungi — tosobola kuzimba maka Gakristaayo ku musingi ogutali gwa Kikristaayo. Tokkiriza bulimba nti obufumbo obubi businga obutafumbirwa. Tebwenkanankana. Obuwuulu obutya Katonda businga emirundi lukumi obufumbo obutatya Katonda. Linda ekisinga obulungi ekya Katonda. Bw'atalireeta bufumbo, kale ky'anaakuleetera mu kifo kyakyo kinaaba kirungi kyenkanyi, kubanga Kitaawe omulungi.

Eky'omukaaga, kuza okumatira. Okumatira si kuggwaamu ssuubi. Si kuleka bufumbo oba okwefuula nti tobwagala. Bwe mirembe emiziba egy'okwesiga nti Katonda mulungi era enteekateeka ye ku bulamu bwo nnungi. Pawulo yawandiika ng'ali mu kkomera ery'e Ruumi nti yali ayize, mu mbeera yonna mwe yabeeranga, okumatira. Okuyiga okwo lugendo. Kujja okuyita mu kusaba, mu Byawandiikibwa, mu mulimu omuggavu ogw'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Saba Katonda akuyigirize ekisa kino.

Ekigambo eri abo abaafiirwa ba bbaabwe. Katonda alaba ennaku yo. Ali kumpi n'abalina emitima egimenyeka.

Isaaya essuula ey'amakumi ataano mu ena egamba nti Omutonzi wo ye bba wo — Mukama w'eggye lye linnya lye. Talikuleka. Zuula okusanyusibwa mu ye, era zuula amaka go mu Kkanisa. Abakazi bangi ku abasinga amaanyi mu Byawandiikibwa ne mu byafaayo baali bannamwandu. Emyaka gyo egisinga obulungi egy'obuweereza giyinza okuba gikyali mu maaso.

Ekigambo eri abo abaagattululwa oba abaalekebwa. Toli bintu byonoonese. Katonda azaawulula ebintu byonna asobola okukuzza obuggya. Ebyayita byonna bye biri, omusaayi gwa Yesu gukufuula omulongoofu era omuggya. Toleka nsonyi kukuziyiza kukwatanwa n'abakkiriza. Jjangu. Weereza. Yagala. Oli waabwe.

Muganda wange, oba ofumbiddwa oba omuwuulu, oba nnamwandu oba olinda, oyagalibwa. Mukama takwerabidde. Awandiika olugero lwo, era lulungi, wadde obulungi obujjuvu bulirabika mu bwomu bwokka. Mwesige mu kiseera kino eky'obulamu bwo. Tokifiirikiriza ng'olinda ekiseera ekirala okutandika. Mulisa awo Katonda w'akusimbye. Weereza awo Katonda w'akuteeka. Yagala oyo Katonda gw'atadde mu maaso go. Ensi erimanya nti mwenyini, mu kitundu, olw'essanyu eriri ku maaso g'omukazi Omukristaayo omuwuulu eyazuula byonna bye mu ye.

Okusaba Kitaffe ali mu ggulu, nkwebaza olw'okuba obubadde bwange tebuli mu kufumbirwa, wabula mu nsonga nti ndi wuwo. Weebale okunfuula omuwala wo n'okunteeka mu maka go amanene, Ekkanisa. Bwe mba omuwuulu mu kiseera kino, nnyamba nkozese ekiseera kino olw'ekitiibwa kyo.

Mpa omutima ogutali mugabanye. Nfuula omukazi ow'okusaba, ow'okuweereza, n'ow'ekigendererwa.

Nkuuma nneme okwolumbwa obwesudde n'okumatira ku ekitono okusinga ekisinga obulungi ekikyo. Neetoolooze baganda bange ne bannyinaze abanjagala nga ab'omu maka go. Bw'olimpita mu bufumbo lumu olunaku, nteekateeka era omuteekateeke naye. Bw'olimpita mu buwuulu obw'obulamu bwonna, nfuula ow'ebibala mu ngeri ze sisobola na kulowooza. Nnyamba njagale era mpagire abalala mu kiseera kyonna, nga naawe bwe wanjagala. Mu linnya lya Yesu ery'omuwendo, Amiina.
