Si lwa Maanyi Gaffe

“Awo Peetero bwe yabalaba n’agamba abantu nti, Abasajja Abayisirayiri, kiki ekibeewuunyisa? Era lwaki mututunuulira ng’abagamba nti obulungi bwaffe n’obuyinza bwaffe bye bitambuzza omusajja ono?” (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 3:12).

Omusajja eyali omulema bwe yamala okuwonyezebwa ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu okuyita mu Peetero ne Yokaana, abantu bonna ne babaddukira. Peetero bwe yalaba ng’ekyamagero kino bakitwala nti kyava ku maanyi gaabwe n’obutukuvu bwabwe, n’atalwa kubatereeza, ng’abagamba nti ekitiibwa kyonna eky’ekyamagero kino kya Yesu, era nti ye gwe tulina okukkiriza.

Tewali kubuusabuusa nti Peetero ne Yokaana baali bajjudde okukkiriza n’obutukuvu; oboolyawo baali n’abaweereza ba Katonda abasingayo obutukuvu n’obunyiikivu mu biseera byabwe, kubanga singa si bwe kyali, Katonda yandiba nga teyabalonda kuba bikozesebwa mu kuwonya kuno. Naye baali bamanyi nti obutukuvu bw’obulamu bwabwe tebwava mu bo bennyini, wabula bwava eri Katonda okuyita mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu. Beetwala nga tebaliiko kye bali, ne batafaayo n’akatono ku butukuvu bwabwe, ne bamanya ekintu kimu kyokka — nti obuyinza bwonna bwa Mukama waabwe. Kyebaava banguwa okulangirira nti mu nsonga eno bo si kintu, nti guno mulimu gwa Mukama yekka. Kino kye kigendererwa ky’okuwonya kwa Katonda: okuba obukakafu bw’obuyinza bwa Yesu, obujulirwa mu maaso g’abantu obulaga ky’ali, nga kirangirira nti Ye yennyini ayingidde mu nsonga n’obuyinza bwe obw’obwakatonda, era nga kisikiriza emitima gy’abantu gidde gy’ali. “Si lwa maanyi gaffe newakubadde obutukuvu bwaffe.” Bwe batyo bwe kibagwanira okwogera abo Mukama b’asiima okukozesa okuyamba abalala olw’okukkiriza kwabwe.

Kino kyetaagisa okukissaako essira, kubanga abakkiriza batera okulowooza ekikontana n’ekyo. Abo abazzeemu obulamu bwabwe nga kiddibwamu “okusaba kw’okukkiriza,” “Okusaba n’omutima omumalirivu ogw’omuntu omutuukirivu, kubeera n’obuyinza bungi” (Yakobo 5:16, R.V.), bali mu kabi ak’okussa ennyo omwoyo ku muntu Katonda gw’asiima okukozesa ng’ekikozesebwa, n’okulowooza nti obuyinza buli mu kutya Katonda kw’omuntu oyo.

Tewali kubuusabuusa nti okusaba kw’okukkiriza kuva mu kutya Katonda okw’amazima, naye abo abakulina be bajja okusooka okwatula nti tekuva mu bo bennyini, wadde mu kufuba kwabwe kwonna. Batya okubbako Mukama wadde akatundu akasingayo obutono ak’ekitiibwa ekimugwanira, era bamanyi nti singa bakola bwe batyo, bajja kumuwaliriza okubaggyako ekisa kye. Kye beegomba ennyo kwe kulaba emyoyo Katonda gy’awadde omukisa okuyita mu bo nga gyingira mu kussa ekimu ne Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo yennyini, okw’obutereevu era okweyongera okuba okw’okumpi ennyo, kubanga ekyo kye kibala okuwonyezebwa kwabwe kwe kusaanidde okuleeta. Bwe batyo bakkaatiriza nti tekwava ku maanyi gaabwe newakubadde obutukuvu bwabwe.

Obujulirwa ng’obwo okuva gye bali bwetaagisa okuddamu ebibavunaanibwa eby’obulimba eby’abatakkiriza. Ekkanisa ya Kristo yeetaaga okuwulira nga kirangirirwa lwatu nti olw’obunsi bwayo n’obutakkiriza bwayo kyeyava efiirwa ebirabo bino eby’omwoyo eby’okuwonya (1 Abakkolinso 12:9), era nti Mukama abizzaawo eri abo abaamuwaayo obulamu bwabwe mu kukkiriza ne mu buwulize. Ekisa kino tekiyinza kulabika nate nga tekisoose kukulemberwa kuzzibwa buggya kw’okukkiriza n’obutukuvu. Naye awo ensi egamba, era wamu nayo n’Abakristaayo bangi nnyo, nti, “Mwetwala okuba n’okukkiriza n’obutukuvu eby’omutindo ogwa waggulu, mwerowooza okuba abatukuvu okusinga abalala.” Ku bivunaanibwa ng’ebyo, ekigambo kino ekya Peetero kye kyokka eky’okuddamu mu maaso ga Katonda n’abantu, nga kikakasibwa obulamu obw’obwetoowaze obw’amazima era obw’obuziba: “Si lwa maanyi gaffe newakubadde obutukuvu bwaffe.” “Si ffe, Ayi Mukama, si ffe. Wabula erinnya lyo lye ligwana okuweebwanga ekitiibwa, olw’okwagala kwo n’olw’obwesigwa bwo.” (Zabbuli 115:1). Obujulirwa ng’obwo era bwetaagisa olw’emitima gyaffe gyennyini n’olw’enkwe za Setaani. Kasita, olw’obutali bwesigwa bw’Ekkanisa, ebirabo by’okuwonya biweebwa lumu na lumu, abaana ba Katonda abaafuna ebirabo bino bali mu kabi ak’okubyenyumirizaamu, n’okulowooza nti balina mu bo bennyini ekintu ekibasaanyiza ennyo okusinga abalala. Omulabe teyeerabira kubayigganya n’ebirowoozo ng’ebyo by’abakubamu mu kyama, era zibasanze bwe bamuwuliriza. Bamanyi enkwe ze; n’olwekyo beetaaga okusabanga Mukama obutayosa abakuume mu bwetoowaze, kubanga eryo lye kkubo ery’amazima ery’okufuna ekisa ekyeyongera buli kiseera. Bwe banaanyiikiriranga mu bwetoowaze, bajja kutegeera nti Katonda gy’akoma okubakozesa, n’abo gye bakoma okujjuzibwa obukakafu nti Katonda yekka y’akolera mu bo, era nti ekitiibwa kyonna kikye. Ekigambo kyabwe ekibalungamya kye kino: “si nze nakola wabula ekisa kya Katonda ekiri nange kye kyakola” (1 Abakkolinso 15:10). Okukkakkana, obujulirwa buno bugasa abanafu abeegomba obulokozi, era abaagala okufuna Kristo ng’Omuwonya waabwe. Bawulira ku kwewaayo okujjuvu n’obuwulize obutaliimu kakwakkulizo, naye ne babifunamu endowooza enkyamu. Balowooza nti mu bo bennyini balina okutuuka ku ddaala erya waggulu ery’okumanya n’okutuukirira, ne bagwa mu kuggwaamu amaanyi. Nedda, nedda; si lwa maanyi gaffe newakubadde obutukuvu bwaffe nga tufuna ebisa bino, wabula lwa kukkiriza okwangu ennyo, okukkiriza okw’omwana omuto, okumanyi nti tekulina buyinza newakubadde obutukuvu ku bwakwo, era okwewaayo ddala eri Oyo omwesigwa, era ow’obuyinza obutaliiko kkomo obusobola okutuukiriza ekisuubizo kye. Ayi, tuleme kunoonya kukola newakubadde okuba ekintu kyonna ku bwaffe! Bwe tuwulira obunafu bwaffe, ne tusuubira byonna okuva eri Katonda n’Ekigambo kye, olwo lwokka lwe tutegeera ekkubo ery’ekitiibwa Mukama mw’awonyeza endwadde: “Olw’okukkiriza mu linnya lye.”
