Okuwulira Eddoboozi lya Katonda

Wadde ng’okuwulira eddoboozi lya Katonda kwangu eri abamu, eri abalala kwe kuwulira okwetaaga okunywezebwa!

Kyali kintu kya kitalo ekyakwata amaaso ga Musa bwe yali alunda endiga za nnyazaala we. Ekisaka kyali kyaka omuliro nnyo naye nga tekyokebwa! Ebikoola byakyo byasigala nga bibisi, wadde ng’ennimi z’omuliro zaali zibyetoolodde (Okuva 3:2). Yali tannalabangako kintu kyonna nga kino eky’ekitalo mu biseera bye byonna eby’omu Misiri ng’omwana wa Falaawo, wadde mu myaka emingi gye yamala ng’omusumba mu nsi ya Midiyaani. N’asembera katono okwetegereza.

Amangwago eddoboozi ne liwulikika, “Musa!”

Osobola okulowooza obwewuunyo bwe yalimu, naddala bwe kyalabika ng’eddoboozi lyava wakati mu kisaka ekyaka omuliro!?

Eddoboozi ne lyeyongera, “Ggyako engatto mu bigere byo kubanga oyimiridde mu kifo ekitukuvu!” (Okuva 3:5). Nkakasa nti yayanguwa okugondera olw’engeri embeera gye yali eri — teri kubuusabuusa nti yali atidde!

Bwe kityo ne kutandika ekiseera ekiwanvu eky’enkolagana wakati wa Katonda ne Musa. Okuva mu kiseera ekyo ne boogeraganya emirundi mingi, Mukama ng’aluŋŋamya omuweereza we mu kukulembera Abaisirayeri okubaggya mu buddu bwabwe mu Misiri, ng’awa ebiragiro eby’okuzimba Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, era ng’awa amateeka mangi eri abantu be ab’endagaano.

Mazima ddala, tusoma nti baayogeraganya “amaaso n’amaaso ng’omuntu bw’ayogera ne mukwano gwe” (Okuva 33:11). Tekyewuunyisa nti obwenyi bwa Musa bwamasamasa!

Tomukwatirwa buggya Musa okuba nga yasobola okwogera ne Katonda mu ngeri eyo?

Nze mazima mmukwatirwa.

Omuntu ayinza okulowoolereza ku ekyo Musa kye yalaba, n’ekyo kye yawulira Katonda bwe yayogera naye. Eddoboozi lya Katonda lyawulikika litya?

Lyali eddoboozi eddeneddene erirandagana ng’ery’omuzannyi omutendeke ow’ebya Shakespeare?

Lyalina okuvuluma oba enjogera ey’ekitundu? (Oboolyawo ey’e Welisi, nga ery’ange, kubanga kirabika ayagala okukyalira ensi yange buli luvannyuma lwa kiseera, mu kufuka okunene okw’okuzuukuka?!) Lulimi ki lwe yayogera — olw’e Misiri Musa gye yasomera oba olw’Abamidiyaani Musa gy’ali amaze emyaka amakumi ana?

Kye tusobola okugamba nga tukakasa, lwe lulimi Musa lwe yategeera.

Lyali eddoboozi ery’omuntu oba lyawulikika ng’“amazzi agakulukuta” nga Ezeekyeri bwe yannyonnyola eddoboozi lya Katonda Ayinzabyonna (Ezeekyeri 43:2)?

Erija nnabbi yamuwulira ng’ayogera n’eddoboozi eddibiivu, eritono, ate Isaya n’awandiika nti yayogera mu kutu kwe (1 Bassekabaka 19:12 ne Isaya 50:5).

Mazima, kirina okuba nga kyangu okutambulira mu kwagala kwa Katonda ng’akwogerako n’eddoboozi eriwulikika, nga bwe yakola eri Musa n’abalala ab’omu biseera eby’Endagaano Enkadde. Kyandibadde kyangu okutambula olugendo olw’okukkiriza mu mbeera ng’ezo!

Kyandibadde kyangu?

Oboolyawo Katonda yandyetaaze ebingi okuva mu ffe singa twasobodde okuwulira eddoboozi lye obulungi. Tewandibaddewo nsonga ya kwewaŋŋangula, n’okugondera kwaffe tekwandibadde kwa kukkiriza. Abaddu bagondera bakama baabwe, naye emirundi mingi lwa kutya. Okwo si kwe kugondera Mukama kw’ayagala.

Anoonya abantu abateekeddwateekeddwa okuwulira eddoboozi lye mu mwoyo era ab’obuntu bwabwe bwennyini bufuuse kugondera.

Si kugondera okuva mu kutya, wabula okugondera okuva mu mpisa. Tekyabangako mu ngeri ye okuwaliriza oba okukyusakyusa abantu be okukola by’ayagala oba okutambulira mu bigendererwa bye. Bulijjo abawa eddembe okwanukula mu kwagala n’okugondera okw’okweyagalira. Okukkiriza okusanyusa Katonda tekulabikira mu kugondera okw’okutya, wabula mu kugondera okw’okwagala n’okweyagalira.

Tommy omuto teyali muteefu ku mmeeza ey’eky’ekiro kubanga yayagala okudda ebweru eri mikwano gye egyali gimulinze. “Toyinza kuva ku mmeeza okutuusa lw’omaliriza emmere yo,” maama we bwe yagamba.

Tommy yamira emmere ye n’obwangu. “Era tuula ku ntebe yo ng’olya,” kitaawe bwe yayongerako. Tommy yalwawo okwanukula, kitaawe kyeyava addamu ebiragiro n’eddoboozi, nga liserengetera katono era nga lyeyongedde katono waggulu. Naye Tommy n’akyakutama okumpi n’entebe ye, amaaso ge nga gafuba okutunuulira mikwano gye ng’ayita mu ddirisa, ng’akaka omuwago omulala ogujjudde spaghetti mu kamwa ke.

Eddoboozi lya kitaawe ne likaluba, era n’ayogera mu bugenderevu. “Nkugambye otuule ng’olya! Kola nga bwe ŋŋamba kaakati!”

Tommy n’atuula, ng’alaga obusungu ku maaso ge agaali gasiigiddwa enyaanya. Akamwa ke kaali kajjudde n’alema okwogera, naye munda mu mutwe gwe eddoboozi ne liwowoggana, “Nnyinza okuba nga ntudde ku bweru, naye munda nnyimiridde!” Eno teyali ndowooza ya kugondera eyandisanyusizza kitaawe!

Eddoboozi Eddibiivu, Eritono Erija nnabbi yali alabye Katonda ng’akola ekyamagero eky’amaanyi mu maaso ga bannabbi ba Baali bonna. Yali muvumu mu kutta abakulembeze bano ab’obulimba bonna era “omukono gwa Mukama gwali ku ye” (1 Bassekabaka 18:46). Naye bwe yawulira nti Yezeberi, kabaka omukazi omwonoonyi, yali anoonya okumutta, n’addukira mu ddungu okwekweka n’okukungubaga. “Nkomye, ai Mukama,” bwe yakaaba. “Nziyako obulamu bwange!” Si kye wandisuubidde okuva eri “omusajja ow’okukkiriza!” Okusooka, malayika atumibwa okubuuza lwaki ali mu mbeera eno, oluvannyuma Mukama yennyini n’ayogera eri Erija — si mu mpewo ey’amaanyi eyayuza olusozi, wadde mu musisi, oba mu muliro, wabula mu ddoboozi eddibiivu eritono. Mazima, ebisooka ebisatu byandimuleeteedde okutya okungi era yandyanguwizza okwanukula singa Katonda yayogedde, naye eddoboozi eddibiivu, eritono terikanga. Alagirwa okudda e Damasiko n’okufuka amafuta ku eyandimusikira, Erisa. Bwe kityo, Erija n’akomyawo obunyiikivu bwe eri Mukama, kubanga yawulidde eddoboozi lye. Okugondera kwe kwe kw’okukkiriza.

Nzijukizibwa ‘Tomasi omubuusabuusa,’ omutume eyagaana okukkiriza nti Mukama yali azuukidde okuva mu bafu okutuusa lw’anaamulaba n’ateeka engalo ze mu bunnya bw’emisumaali mu mikono egyali giyinjidwa. Yesu bwe yamulabikira, Tomasi n’akkiriza, Yesu n’amugamba, “Tomasi, olw’okuba ondabye, okkirizza: balina omukisa abo abatalabanga naye ne bakkiriza.”

Yandisobodde n’okwongerako, “Balina omukisa abo abatawuliranga ddoboozi lya Katonda eriwulikika, naye ne bagondera!”

Olugendo n’obulamu obw’okukkiriza obusanyusa Katonda bulabika mu musajja oba omukazi, ‘atawulidde’ (n’okutu) naye ne agondera.

Tusaana okusuubira okuwulira eddoboozi lya Mukama? Weewaawo tusaana! Yesu yennyini ye yagamba nti “endiga ziwulira eddoboozi lyange” (Yokaana 10:27).

Mukama bw’ayagala okwogera naffe, okutuyigiriza by’ayagala, okutuluŋŋamya mu makubo ge, tasalawo kukikola na ddoboozi ddene, wabula n’eddoboozi eddibiivu, eritono, eriwulirwa emmeeme yokka egatta ne ye. Ayagala okwogera n’endiga ze era ezisinga obungi, nkakasa, zaagala okuwulira eddoboozi lye.

Okutegeeza bulijjo buvunaanyizibwa bw’oyo ategeeza singa oyo ategeezebwa aba yeeteeseteese okuwulira. Kyava omuyigiriza omulungi bulijjo anoonya okumanya oba abayizi be bategedde ky’agezaako okuyigiriza.

Kale, Katonda ayogera naffe, endiga ze? Bwe kiba bwe kityo, lwaki tetuwulira ky’ayogera?

Okuyiga Okutegeera Eddoboozi Lye Nzikiriza nti ayogera nange buli lunaku, naye emirundi mingi eddoboozi lye lisaanyizibwawo oluyoogaano lw’amaloboozi amalala agakulukuta mu mutwe gwange.

Nnina okuyiga ekyama Bakadde ab’Omu Ddungu kye baayogerako ne bawandiikako, ekyama ekitegeerwa abasajja n’abakazi abo ab’omu byafaayo by’Ekkanisa, obulamu bwabwe bwe butwewuunyisa nga baali mu nkolagana ennywevu ne Katonda; abo abayitibwa, emirundi mingi mu kunyooma, ab’ekyama.

Bakadde ab’Omu Ddungu (ne bannyaabwe) baali basajja na bakazi ab’omu kyasa eky’okuna. Ekiseera Obukristaayo lwe bwakkirizibwa bakabaka b’e Rooma era Obukristaayo ng’enkola ey’obufuzi era ey’ensi bwe bwazaalibwa. Okusobola okugondera engeri gye baategeeramu ekiragiro kya Mukama eky’“okwetikka omusaalaba gwo,” (Lukka 9:23) baali beeggye mu nsi n’amaloboozi gaayo gonna okunoonya obwerere mu ddungu ery’e Misiri. Gye bali, obwerere tebwali kubeera bwomu, wabula okusobola okusembera okumpi ennyo ne Katonda, ne batafaayo ku bantu abalala bonna abaali babeetoolodde. Baayiga okusirika, okukuza obusirifu obw’omunda, okufumiitiriza ku ye n’okuwulira eddoboozi lye.

Nkakasa nti tetwetaaga kwewaayo mu bulamu bw’ekiraawe, naye twetaaga okumala ebiseera ebirungi bwe tuba twagala okuyiga okutegeera eddoboozi lye. Tetwetaaga magezi mangi agategeera eby’okutegeera Katonda byonna, so tetwetaaga dipuloma ya Kkolegi ya Bayibuli oba digiri ya Sseminari. Ayogera, si eri amagezi n’obwongo, wabula eri omwoyo Omwoyo we gy’atuukirira ku gwaffe.

Okuwulira Eddoboozi Lye, Twetaaga 1. Enjala — okwegomba okw’amaanyi — eri by’ayagala.

2. Omutima ogumaliridde okugondera kyonna ky’ayagala.

3. Ebiseera ebimala mu Kigambo kye.

4. Ekifo ekisirikira eky’okufumiitiriza.

5. Obusirifu obw’omunda n’obwerere.

“Mukama Yaŋŋamba…” Tewali kintu kyeraliikiriza musumba nga okufuna omuntu ajja gy’oli, nga bw’olowooza ng’anoonya amagezi, atandika emboozi ng’agamba nti, “Mukama yaŋŋamba…” enkomerero y’emboozi!

Nga bulijjo ngezaako okubabuuza engeri Mukama gye yayogera nabo, ne nkizuula nti, mu ndowooza yange, kyali kirowoozo kyokka kye baalina, oboolyawo ekyava mu nneewulira ey’olukuŋŋaana olumu oba mu mboozi ne mukwano gwe, naye si bulijjo ekiva eri Mukama. Singa twanguwa okubuuza ekibuuzo ng’ekyo buli lwe abantu bagamba nti, “Mukama yaŋŋamba,” oboolyawo twandiziyizza abantu okukozesa ekigambo ekyo mu bwangu obutafaayo.

Okumala emyaka ena, nze ne mukyala wange twafuna omukisa omukulu ogw’okukolera ku Meeri ey’Okusaasira eyatambulanga wakati wa Bulaaya ne Afirika ey’Ebugwanjuba. Ku meeri kwaliko basawo, basawo abalongoosa, n’abasawo abasengejja abawaayo obumanyirivu bwabwe mu kukola emitendera egy’okukyusa obulamu eri abantu abankumi abanaku abaali batasobola kusasula nsimbi nnyingi ez’okulongoosebwa endwadde zaabwe ze zeetaaga. Wadde nga kyali kiseera kya kumatiza nnyo, waaliwo ennaku nnyingi ez’okulwana n’okukoowa okungi, naye eri abo ab’omu mawanga amakulaakulanu abaafuna alipoota ez’omulimu ogwakolebwanga abakozi b’obujjanjabi n’abakozi ba meeri abalala, kirina okuba nga kyalabika ng’obuweereza obw’ekitiibwa ennyo.

Nzijukira bangi abajja okukolera ku meeri abaagamba nti baaliwo kubanga Mukama yali abagambye okujja.

Bulijjo kyanewuunyisanga bwe baali bangi abavumbula, oluvannyuma lwa kaseera katono, nti si kwe baali baagala okuba ddala.

Kirabika, Mukama yakola ensobi, oba baayita eddoboozi lye eddoboozi eddala.

Abalala bambuulidde nti Mukama yali abagambye okukola ekintu ekyawukana ku Byawandiikibwa! Nze kennyini mmanyi abakazi babiri abaleka babbaabwe kubanga “Mukama yaŋŋamba,” wadde nga tewaali bujulizi bwa butali bwesigwa oba bwa kukolerwa bubi. Omwami omu yali mukkiriza, naye yali ayingidde mu ndagaano ya bizinensi (mu ngeri ey’amateeka ddala) n’atali mukkiriza. Omukazi n’agamba nti Mukama yamugamba okuleka bba kubanga yali “asibiddwa mu kikoligo eky’obutaawulira” n’atali mukkiriza! Kukozesa Byawandiikibwa bubi kwa ngeri ki, era mazima si kwagala kwa Mukama eri obufumbo bwonna!

Abakkiriza bangi bakozesa ekigambo kino n’omutima ogutaliimu bukuusa, nga bakkiriza nti baaluŋŋamizibwa Katonda. Kino kiyinza okuba nga kyayita mu kirooto, mu kuzzibwamu amaanyi kwa mukwano gwabwe, mu mbeera, mu lunyiriri lwa Byawandiikibwa okweyoleka, mu ‘kabbuka,’ oba mu kwegomba okw’omunda okw’obuntu okukula obukuzi.

Bino byonna makubo ga mazima, singa gakola awamu, Mukama mw’ayinza okutuluŋŋamiza okutambulira mu kwagala kwe; wabula kyandibadde kya magezi okugamba nti “Nzikiriza nti Mukama yandyagadde nkole kino…” mu kifo ky’ekigambo ‘eky’omwoyo,’ “Mukama yaŋŋamba…” ekiyinza okuwaayo bingi eri obwegugungo, naye emirundi mingi kyonoona nnyo obujulizi bw’Ekikristaayo.

Ekiseera ekyo eky’ekitalo bwe bujulizi obw’obuntu.

Mu bulamu bwange, nnina ebyanfuukako ebiwerako mwe namanyira okubeerawo kwe mu ngeri esukka eya bulijjo. Ka nkakase nti bya kitalo, si bya bulijjo. Emirundi ebiri nnamuwulira ng’ayogera nange n’eddoboozi eriwulikika. Sigezaako kunnyonnyola bino, era mazima tebiri bwe bityo kubanga nnali wa mwoyo okusinga ebiseera ebirala.

Mu butuufu, emirundi gyombi gyali nga nnina omutima omuzitowavu. Nnaakubuulira ku gumu ku gyo.

Gwali mwaka gwa 1983 era nnali mmaze ebbanga eritatuuka ku mwaka gumu nga ndi musumba w’ekkanisa entono eya Christian and Missionary Alliance mu Sidney ku kizinga kya Vancouver, mu British Columbia. Baali kkuŋŋaaniro erya nnakyewuubira, erijjudde okwagala era twali twakwatagana nnyo n’abangi ku bo. Naye, essuubi ery’ekkanisa okukula mu muwendo lyali ttono, kubanga waali ‘ekiziyiza’ ku nkulaakulana y’ettaka ery’ekitundu era amayumba amasaanidde gaali matono.

Mu butuufu, twakuŋŋaaniranga mu maofiisi amakulu ag’ekitundu aga Free Masons! Saafunanga musaala munene, naye kyali kya lwatu nti mu bbanga ttono, ensaasaanya y’ekkanisa entono yandisukkiridde ku nfuna yaayo eyali entono n’okusingawo. Ekkuŋŋaaniro lino ettono lyali kitundu ekyava mu kkanisa ennene ey’okumpi mu Victoria, ekibuga ekikulu eky’essaza, naye kaakati waali enkolagana ntono wakati waabwe ebbiri, naddala nga tewali kwewaayo kwonna okuva mu kkanisa nnyina okusasula ensaasaanya z’ekkanisa muwala.

Kyali kiro kya Ssande nga waliwo enkuba entonnyi nga November eweddeeko. Anne yali atutte bawala baffe abasatu ku lukuŋŋaana mu kkanisa nnyina ate nze ne nsalawo okutambula n’okwogera ne Mukama ku buzito obwali bweyongera ku mutima gwange. Ndde eri okuyigiriza?

Oboolyawo mu kiseera ekitundu okwongera ku nfuna yange kiryoke kireme okuba omugugu munene ku kkanisa? Nsaanidde okuwummula ne nnoonya omulimu omulala, nga ngamba ekkanisa nti tebasobola, mu kiseera kino, kusasula musumba wa kiseera kyonna? Nteekewo ‘ebyoya by’endiga’ okugezaako okuzuula okwagala kwa Katonda? Omutwe gwange gwali gujjudde ebibuuzo, naye saali mfuna biramba byonna!

Ebigere byange byantwala ku ntikko y’ekifo eky’obulungi eky’ekitundu okuva we omuntu gye yandisobodde okutunuulira ebyalo byonna ebyetoolodde.

Bear Hill kyali kifuuse ekifo kyaffe ekyagalibwa eky’okuwummuliramu, era ku ntikko yaakyo we nawummulira. Awo, we nazuulira ‘ekisaka kyange ekyaka omuliro.’ Nawulira eddoboozi eriwulikika!

Ebigambo byalyo byali bya lwatu era byaddibwamu ndyoke mbitegeere bulungi.

Wadde ng’omwoyo gwange gwakakasa nti kino kyali kiseera kya Katonda, nnatunula okwetooloola okulaba oba waaliwo omuntu omulala ku ntikko y’olusozi awamu nange. Tewaali muntu mulala. Mukama yali ayogera, era ebigambo bye byali bya lwatu.

“Ojja kuba musumba w’Ekkanisa ya Victoria Alliance!”

Tewaali nnyinnyonnyola engeri kino gye kyandibaddewo. Mu kiseera ekyo, Ekkanisa ya Victoria Alliance yalina abasumba basatu era omukulu yali amazeeyo ng’omwaka gumu. Yalina digiri ye eya masitasi mu by’okutegeera Katonda ate nze saali nagenzeeko mu sseminari era nnali nnaakayawulibwa. Oboolyawo Katonda teyali ayogera ku kiseera kya kaakati era ebigambo bye byali bikwata ku biseera eby’omu maaso byokka? Ekyo kyandinnyanukudde kitya ebibuuzo byange eby’omu kiseera kino?

Oboolyawo yali agamba nti ntuukirire omusumba omukulu ne mmuwa ekirowoozo nti ekkanisa nnyina eddemu okutwala ekkanisa muwala, era nze ntwalibwe ng’omusumba waabwe owookuna? Ebirowoozo ng’ebyo bye byadduka mu mutwe gwange nga nkomawo eka.

Nnabuulira Anne ku kyanfuukako era ne tusalawo okusirika ku kino, nga tukkiriza nti singa Mukama yali ayogedde ddala, yali asobola bulungi okutuukiriza ebigendererwa bye awatali kutaataaganya kwaffe. Lowooza obwewuunyo bwaffe oluvannyuma lwa wiiki nnyingi zokka, okuwulira nti omusumba omukulu yali alangiridde okuwummula okuva mu kkanisa ya Victoria!

Twakemebwa okukubira buli muntu mu kkanisa eyo essimu okubagamba nti twali tumanyi ani eyandibadde omusumba waabwe omuggya, naye ne tusalawo nti okwegendereza kwe kwali okulonda okusingako, bwe tutyo ne tusirika. Ng’okwegendereza okwongerezeddwa, twava mu kkanisa eyo mu myezi egyajja, tuleme kukemebwa kukyusakyusa mbeera yaabwe okuleeta ‘okwagala kwa Katonda’ gye bali.

Oluvannyuma lw’emyezi mingi, Omulabirizi w’Essaza ye yampita okunziika okuba omusumba w’Ekkanisa ya Victoria Alliance. Amangwago ne nziramu nti weewaawo, ne kimuleetera okugamba nti, “Ekyo kibadde kyangu!”

“Owooluganda,” ne ŋŋamba nti, “Nnali nkimanyi emyezi ena egiyise!”

Mu myaka gyange omusanvu mu Kkanisa ya Victoria Alliance, waaliwo emirundi mingi lwe nakemebwa okuvaawo, naye ne nsigalawo kubanga nnali mmanyi nti Mukama yali ampise eyo era nnakkiriza nti yandimpise okuvaayo ekiseera bwe kyandituuse okugenda. Tetuli na kubuusabuusa nti, okuyitibwa bwe kwajja mu 1990 okuweereza ku Meeri ey’Okusaasira, kyali kiseera kye eky’okweyongerayo.

Lwaki Katonda yayogera n’eddoboozi eriwulikika? Mazima tekyali kubanga nnali wa mwoyo okusinga abalala wadde kubanga yali yaakazuukuka ku kwetaaga kwange! Oboolyawo, oboolyawo bwokka, kyali kubanga obuzito bwange bwali bwa mazima ennyo ne bunzimba mu kifo eky’obwerere kye nnali njetaaga; ekifo eky’obwereere obw’omunda n’obusirifu we nnasobola okumuwulira ng’ayogera. Oboolyawo, kyali kikolwa kye kyokka eky’obwakabaka eky’okwogera mu bulumi bwange okuva mu kwagala kwe okungi.

Okwogera olugero luno kunzijukiza ebigambo bye nnawuliriramu Floyd McClung ng’ayogera, eyali omuyigiriza omanyiddwa mu Youth With A Mission. Yali ayogera ku nsonga y’obunnabbi, naye ebigambo bye byandikwatidde bulungi ku mbeera yange ey’okuwulira eddoboozi lya Katonda.

Yagamba nti buli lwe ofuna ekigambo eky’obunnabbi, kiteeke mu ddaawa ey’emmanga oggaleeko emabega ku ddaawa! Tekyakuweebwa okukuluŋŋamya, kyakuweebwa okuzimba okukkiriza kwo.

Walijja ekiseera lw’oliyetaaga okujjukira, oboolyawo mu mbeera enzibu, nti Katonda ye yawa ekigambo ekyo. Olyoke obeere n’obwesige nti ye yakutuusizza mu kifo kino, era mazima ddala asobola okukuyisaamu.

Nzikiriza nti bino bigambo bya magezi nnyo, ebyetaagisa ennyo mu nnaku zino ez’obunnabbi obw’obuntu obungi obukolerwa okuva ku bituuti eby’olwatu. Waliwo abakkiriza bangi nnyo abeeraliikirira olw’ebigambo eby’okumanya n’obunnabbi ebikolebwa ku bo, nga waliwo obujulizi butono obw’okutuukirira kwabyo, era nga waliwo obuvunaanyizibwa butono eri abo abakoze ebigambo ebyo. Ekirabo eky’Omwoyo ekyetaagisa ddala leero kye ky’okwawula.

Obwesige bwange mu Mukama tebuzimbiddwa ku byanfuukako bino ebitera obutaba wo, wabula, buzimbiddwa ku bwesige nti ye yankulembera buli lunaku nga nnywezezza omukono gwe. Sirina kwetaaga kuwulira ddoboozi lye eriwulikika, naye kikulu nti omwoyo gwange gugatta n’ogwe alyoke ankulembere.

Okusaba Awamu Emu ku mikisa emikulu gye nnafuna guli mu ludda olw’okusaba awamu. Bwe nnali omukkiriza omuto, essaala nnyingi ez’okusaba nnazisanga nga zikooya kubanga emirundi mingi waabangawo essaala ezeeddibwamu era nga waliwo obujulizi butono obwa Katonda okwanukula. Ebintu byakyuka Mukama bwe yatandika okukola omulimu ogw’ekitalo mu bavubuka b’ekkanisa yaffe. Abavubuka bano abasajja n’abakazi baatandika okusabira bannaabwe mu ngeri ey’ekitalo. Bwe kyagenda kirabika, baali bawulira okukubirizibwa okw’omunda okwa Mukama mu bintu bye baali basaanidde okusabira. Nnatandika okutegeera amaanyi agali mu kusaba awamu abo abasaba bwe baba bawulira eddoboozi ly’Omusumba awamu.

Nnali nkulembera essomero lya Missions Bridge, omuli ekigendererwa kyaffe kyali kufuula abakkiriza abaali baagala ennyo abayigirizwa n’okubawa ‘obumanyirivu’ obw’obweereza mu ggwanga erikulaakulana, oba ery’ensi eya kusatu. Ekiro kimu omulamwa gwaffe gwali gwa kusaba awamu, bwe ntyo ne nnyigiriza abayizi ekkumi n’ababiri enkola gye nnali nayigidde mu kkanisa yange ey’olubereberye. Twasirisa emitima gyaffe mu ssaala ey’obusirifu ne nsoma zabbuli ey’okufumiitiriza.

Abayizi ne balagirwa okufumiitiriza mu busirifu okumala eddakiika kkumi na ttaano ezaddirira nga bakozesa zabbuli ng’omusingi gw’okufumiitiriza kwabwe. Ku nkomerero y’eddakiika ekkumi n’ettaano — ekiseera ekiwanvu nnyo eri abasinga obungi ku ffe abatamanyiira nkola ng’eyo — ne nsaba buli muntu okutubuulira ebirowoozo bye. Baali ba kunnyonnyola ebifaananyi byonna, okwogera ku migero gyonna, oba okwogera Byawandiikibwa byonna bye baali bafunye, awatali kugezaako kuvvuunula birowoozo byabwe.

Nga buli muntu ategeeza ebirowoozo bye, ne ntandika okunoonya enkola egenda gy’emu.

Mukyala wange, Anne, ye yasembayo okwogera. Si wa byanfuukako bya Mwoyo, naye ekiro ekyo yayogera ku kulaba okwolesebwa okw’emeeri enjeru ng’eseeyeeya ku mazzi amaddugavu okumpi n’olubalama lwa Victoria, ate nze nnali ndabye ekire ekiddugavu nga kiggwako ku kibuga ne kyeeyoleka emeeri enjeru ku mazzi gaakyo!

Nnafunza ebirowoozo byabwe n’ebigambo ng’ebino: “Kirabika tulina emiramwa ena egiyita mu kufumiitiriza kwaffe. Abamu ku mmwe boogedde ku gavumenti zaffe, ez’eggwanga n’ez’essaza, abantu baffe ab’obuzaaliranwa n’emeeri eno; neebuuza engeri gye tusaanidde okusabamu.”

Ekiro ekyo emikwano gyaffe ebiri egyagalibwa gyali gijjidde okukyalira Anne nange nga tetusuubidde era ne kaakati nga gituudde ku mbiriizi z’ekibiina. Robin ne Anne Jones baabeeranga waggulu ku kizinga, naye baali bamaze ekiro mu Victoria, nga beetaba mu kibiina kino ekya Mission Bridge, wadde nga si ng’abayizi. Anne n’ayogera nti, “Gareth, nsonyiwa okweyingiza, naye ndowooza Robin alina ekintu ekisikiriza ennyo eky’okugabana.”

Nnayita Robin okwogera bw’atyo n’atubuulira ensonga lwaki baali mu Victoria ekiro ekyo. “Mu ttumbi, nnaabeera ku kisaawe ky’ennyonyi mu Victoria n’abasajja ba pulitiika babiri ab’ekitundu (ab’essaza), nga tulamusa abasajja ba pulitiika babiri ab’eggwanga abajja okwogera ku kugula emeeri. Eno ejja kukozesebwa okukulaakulanya obuweereza eri abantu ab’obuzaaliranwa abali mu buvunaanyizibwa bw’embuga z’amateeka. Mu kifo ky’okuteeka mu kkomera abo abasooka okusobya, twagala okutandika obuweereza obw’Ekikristaayo obw’okubatwala ku nnyanja okumala ebbanga lya wiiki ssatu, nga tubatendeka mu bumanyirivu bw’okuvuga emeeri era nga tubayigiriza emisingi gy’Ekikristaayo. Kino kijja kusasulwa awamu gavumenti y’essaza n’ey’eggwanga.”

Twali tuwulidde okuva eri Katonda! Yali atubikkulidde omutima gwe, era twali tumanyi engeri y’okusaba. Ekibiina kya Mission Bridge ekyo kyasaba obuweereza obwo ne butandikawo, kubanga yali atuwadde okukkiriza okusaanira okwetaaga.
