Enoka

“Olw’okukkiriza Enoka yatwalibwa aleme okulaba okufa; teyalabika, kubanga Katonda yamutwala; kubanga nga tannaba kutwalibwa yaweebwa obujulizi nti asanyusa Katonda.”

(Abaebbulaniya 11:5).

Ebyafaayo bya Enoka biwandiikiddwa mu bufunze ennyo mu Olubereberye 5:18-24.

Ekibuuzo ekirala eky’omuzannyo gwa Bayibuli eky’abaana kigamba nti, “Ani eyawangaala okusinga abantu bonna abaali baabaddewo ku nsi?” Ye Mesuseera, mutabani wa Enoka!

Enoka yabeera ku nsi emyaka 365, ng’atambulira wamu ne Katonda okutuusa lwe ‘Katonda yamutwala.’ Okutambula kuno ne Katonda kwali kutambula kwa kukkiriza, so nga awatali kukkiriza tekisoboka kusanyusa Katonda (Abaebbulaniya 11:16).

Yamanya ekitegeeza okussa ekimu okumpi n’Omutonzi we, okuwulira eddoboozi lye n’okumanya obulagirizi bwe.

Ng’obussakimu obwo bwali buwoomerevu nnyo! Newankubadde nga Enoka yalaga akabonero k’okugwa kwa Adamu ne Kaawa, yeeyongera okwenyumiririza mu kubeerawo kwa Katonda. Ne leero, ne bwe kirabika ng’ebituwetooloodde byonna byonoonese, n’obubi ne bulabika ng’obuwangudde, omwana wa Katonda atambulira ku kukkiriza asobola okusigala n’obussakimu obuwoomerevu ne Mukama we.

Ebyafaayo bijjudde ebifa ku bakkiriza abaali mu mbeera ez’obuzibu obungi ennyo, naye obujulizi bwabwe nga bumasamasa kubanga baamanya okubeerawo kwa Katonda.

“Olw’okukkiriza Enoka yatwalibwa” (Abaebbulaniya 11:5).

Kino kitegeeza ki? Mazima si nti Enoka yakkiriza nnyo nti anaatwalibwa, ne kiba nti Katonda amukoledde ekyo!

Wabula, kyali kikolwa kya Katonda ow’obuyinza obungi ekyamutwala, okusobola okutuyigiriza amazima amakulu!

Essuubi ery’Okuzuukira Musingi ki ogwa Bayibuli gwe tuyinza okuyiga okuva mu byafaayo bino ebimpi ogulina amakulu gye tuli leero?

Mu bweyeya, waliwo omusingi ogw’obulamu obutaggwaawo .

Eri abo abatambulira wamu ne Katonda mu kukkiriza, waliwo ekisuubizo eky’Okuzuukira, oba okusitulibwa mu kudda kwe okwokubiri, okutuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo. Pawulo ne Peetero bombi, bwe baayimirira mu maaso g’abantu, baalangirira nti lino ly’essuubi ery’abakkiriza bonna. Ddala, Pawulo yamanya nti kino kye kyavuddeko okuyigganyizibwa kwe. “Mpozesebwa olw’essuubi n’okuzuukira kw’abafu” (Ebikolwa 23:6). Amadiini amalala gayinza okuyigiriza okuddamu okuzaalibwa, oba obulokozi obwesigamiziddwa ku bikolwa eby’obutuukirivu; naye obubaka bwaffe tebusagaasagana mu kulangirira Okuzuukira okutuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo eri bonna abatambulira ne Katonda mu kukkiriza.

Essuubi lino Pawulo ne Peetero, n’abatume bonna, lye baali beetegefu okufiirira, lyesigamiziddwa ku mazima — nga bwe kiri essuubi lyonna ery’Ekikristaayo, obutafaanana na masuubi ag’ensi. Ka nkujjukize nti essuubi ery’Ekikristaayo lisinga kunnyonnyolwa nga “okusuubira n’okwegomba ekyo ekikakafu.” Essuubi lyaffe ery’Okuzuukira lisibuka mu mukolo ogusinga byonna ekitiibwa mu byafaayo byonna; Okuzuukira kwa Yesu okuva mu bafu.

Omuntu bw’atunuulira mu bwesimbu ebyafaayo byonna, endowooza, n’endowooza ez’enjawulo ku Ssande eyo eya Pasaka esooka, ateekwa okutuuka ku kusalawo nti amazima agasinga okukakasibwa mu byafaayo byonna gwe nti Yesu ow’e Nazaaleesi, bwe yamala okukomererwa ku musaalaba ogw’Abaruumi, n’aziikibwa mu ntaana eyeeyazikibwa, yazuukira okuva mu bafu, n’adda mu bulamu obuggya.

Yalabikira abayigirizwa n’abalala bangi. Omutume Pawulo awandiika nti ab’oluganda abasukka mu 500 baali bajulizi ba maaso ku bulamu bwe obuggya, era nga bumpi bonna baali bakyali balamu okukakasa ekyo mu kiseera omutume we yawandiikira, emyaka mingi oluvannyuma. Abasajja bano tebaalina kya kugobolola mu kuyimirira ku bulimba, ate nga baali bayinza okufiirwa buli kimu olw’okunywerera ku mazima. Waaliwo okuyigganyizibwa okunene eri abakkiriza, era bangi ku bo baafiirwa obulamu bwabwe kubanga baagaana okwegaana ekyo ekyali amazima gye bali.

Obulombolombo bututegeeza nti buli omu ku batume, okuggyako Yokaana, yattibwa olw’ekyo kye baamanya— nti Yesu yazuukira okuva mu bafu!

Kaakano baategeera kye yali ategeeza bwe yabayigiriza nti, “Ekiseera kitono, n’ensi teerinnyongera kundaba; naye mmwe muliraba; kubanga nze ndi mulamu, nammwe muliba balamu” (Yokaana 14:19). Lino lye lyali essuubi lyabwe — okusuubira n’okwegomba ekyo ekikakafu — era ekisuubizo ekyalabikira mu bujulizi bwa Enoka.

Okuzuukira kwa Yesu kwe kkalu ery’enkakafu ery’okukkiriza kwaffe okw’Ekikristaayo. Awatali kwo, tewaliiwo Kikristaayo. Eddiini ng’eyo teyandibadde ya njawulo ku ndala zonna kubanga tesobola kuwa suubi. Era kikulu olw’ensonga zino: 1. Kulaga obwenkanya bwa Katonda eyagulumiza Kristo mu bulamu obw’ekitiibwa, nga Kristo bwe yali yeetoowazizza okutuusa mu kufa (Abafiripi 2:8-9).

2. Okuzuukira kwatuukiriza ekyama ky’obulokozi n’okununulibwa kwaffe. Olw’okufa kwe, Kristo yatuwonya ekibonerezo ky’ekibi (Abaruumi 5:8), olw’okubonaabona kwe yatuwonya ekikolimo ky’Amateeka (Abaggalatiya 3:13), ate olw’Okuzuukira kwe yatuzzaawo emikisa egisinga obukulu egyafiirwa olw’ekibi (Abaruumi 4:25).

3. Olw’Okuzuukira kwe tukkiriza Kristo nga Katonda atafa, ensonga ennywevu era ey’ekyokulabirako ey’Okuzuukira kwaffe ffennyini (1 Abakkolinso 15:21 ne Abafiripi 3:20-21) era nga ekyokulabirako n’ensibuko y’obulamu bwaffe obuggya obw’ekisa (Abaruumi 6:4-6 ne Abaruumi 9-11).

Obujulizi bwa Pawulo Kyali olw’essuubi lyabwe ery’Okuzuukira okutuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo abakkiriza ab’edda lwe baayigganyizibwa. Ebyawandiikibwa bituwandiikira obujulizi bw’omutume Pawulo ng’ayimiridde mu maaso ga bakabona abakulu n’Olukiiko ng’awozesebwa. “Mpozesebwa olw’essuubi n’okuzuukira kw’abafu” (Ebikolwa 23:6).

Olukiiko lwali lukoleddwa ebibinja bibiri ebikulu: Abafalisaayo ab’eddiini, abakkiririza mu Kuzuukira kw’abo abakuuma amateeka, n’Abasaduukaayo ab’ebyobufuzi, abatakkiriza. Nga bwe kiri, waaliwo okwawukana ku bigambo bya Pawulo, bw’atyo abaserikale ne balagirwa okuzza Pawulo mu kkomera lye.

Kaakano ne wabaawo olukwe olw’ebyobufuzi olw’ekigendererwa eky’okutta omutume, naye omuduumizi w’eggye ery’Abaruumi n’ategeezebwa olukwe olwo, bw’atyo n’alagira Pawulo atwalibwe e Antipatiri, Felikisi, gavana Omuruumi, gye yalina olubiri lwe.

Mu maaso ga gavana, Pawulo n’addamu okwatula essuubi lye mu Kuzuukira, okw’abatuukirivu okutuusa mu bulamu, n’okw’abakozi b’ebibi okutuusa mu musango (Ebikolwa 24:15,21).

Olw’obutamanya kya kukola ku Pawulo oba engeri y’okusiriikiriza abaamuwawaabira, Felikisi n’amusibira mu kkomera okutuusa, nga wayiseewo emyaka ebiri, gavana omuggya, Fesuto, bwe yamusikira. Omutume n’afuulibwa eky’okwewuunyisa, ng’ayitibwa okwogera ku kukkiriza kwe ‘okusiruwaza’ mu maaso ga Fesuto n’abagenyi be, Kabaka Agulipa ne mukyala we Berenike. Pawulo teyeekokkola mu maaso g’abawuliriza bano. Era n’akakasa nti, “Mpozesebwa olw’essuubi lino ekkulu, Kabaka. Lwaki kirabika ng’ekitakkirizibwa gye muli, nti Katonda azuukize abafu?” (Ebikolwa 26:7-8). Oluvannyuma yandyagalibwa okulabika mu maaso ga Kayisali, era tetuubuusabuusa nti teyaddirira kuwa bujulizi bwe bumu, wadde nga kyavaako okufa kwe. Naye lwaki yanditidde okufa? Yali amaze okuwandiika nti: “Laba! Mbabuulira ekyama. Ffenna tetulyebaka, naye ffenna tulikyusibwa, mu kaseera katono, mu kutemya kw’eriiso, ku kkondeere ery’enkomerero. Kubanga ekkondeere lirivuga, n’abafu balizuukizibwa nga tebafa, era ffe tulikyusibwa. Kubanga omubiri guno ogufa gusaana okwambazibwa obutafa, n’omubiri guno ogufa gusaana okwambazibwa obutafa. Awo omubiri ogufa bwe gulyambala obutafa, n’ogufa bwe gulyambala obutafa, olwo ekigambo ekyawandiikibwa lwe kirituukirira nti: ‘Okufa kumizibbwa mu buwanguzi.’ ‘Ai okufa, obuwanguzi bwo buli ludda wa? Ai okufa, amaanyi go agalumya galuwa?’ Amaanyi g’okufa ge kibi, n’amaanyi g’ekibi ge mateeka. Naye Katonda yeebazibwe, atuwa obuwanguzi mu Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo” (1 Abakkolinso 15:51-57).

Gano si mazima gaggya, wabula kyama . Buli Pawulo lw’awandiika ku kyama, aba ayogera ku mazima agaabeerangawo bulijjo, naye kaakano ge gaakabikkulwa (Abaruumi 16:25-26).

Yesu ye yasooka okwogera ku kyama ky’obwakabaka (Makko 13:11), naye Pawulo naye yakozesa ebigambo bino emirundi mingi.

Omutwe omulungi ogw’okusoma Bayibuli okw’obuntu yandibadde okwekenneenya ebiwandiiko bino: ekyama ky’Abaamawanga ‘okuyingizibwa mu muti’ (Abaruumi 11:25), ekyama ky’okwagala kwe (Abaefeso 1:9), ekyama ky’Abaamawanga (Abaefeso 3:3), ekyama ky’obufumbo (Abaefeso 5:32), ekyama ky’Enjiri (Abaefeso 6:19), ekyama kya Kristo mu mmwe (Abakkolosaayi 1:26-27), ekyama kya Kristo yennyini (Abakkolosaayi 2:2), ekyama ky’obutali butuukirivu (2 Abasessaloniika 2:7), ekyama ky’okukkiriza (1 Timoseewo 3:9), n’ekyama ky’okutya Katonda (1 Timoseewo 3:16).

Ekyama kino, amazima gano, essuubi lino ery’ekitiibwa ery’okuzuukira okutuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, lyasooka okubikkulwa gye tuli mu bujulizi bwa Enoka.

Obufunze “Olw’okukkiriza, Enoka yatwalibwa” (Abaebbulaniya 11:5), tusobole okumanya nti tulina essuubi ery’ekitiibwa; ery’obulamu obutaggwaawo.

Kino si njigiriza ya Ndagaano Empya, wabula kibadde kitundu ku bigendererwa bya Katonda eri abantu be bulijjo.
