Ennyanjula: Abaatumwa Abaagaana Okukoma

Waliwo ekibuuzo ekiri mu mutima gw’okukkiriza kw’Abakristaayo eddiini ey’okwejjalabya ky’efuba ennyo okwewala: okugoberera Yesu kitwala ki ddala? Si Bukristaayo obulongooseddwa obw’ekitongole — obwo obukwanaganya obulungi n’essaawa emu ku Sande ne butabaako kye busaba mu nnaku endala ez’omu wiiki — wabula Obukristaayo obw’olubereberye, obutaliiko kye bubikkiddwako, obw’abatume, Mukama eyazuukira mw’awa ekiragiro kye, abayigirizwa be ne bakigondera ddala. Abasajja n’abakazi ekkumi abali mu kitabo kino baddamu ekibuuzo ekyo n’obulamu bwabwe, era eby’okuddamu bye baawa tebyali byangu. Baagaba obugagga bwabwe, baaziika abaami n’abakyala baabwe, baagumira okusibibwa mu makomera, baawona ebikolwa eby’obukambwe, baasomoka ennyanja ennene, era abamu ku bo baawaayo emibiri gyabwe ddala ku lw’omulimu. Baatumibwa, ne bagenda, era tebaayimirira.

Ekiragiro ekyabumba obulamu bwabwe kye kimu n’ekiragiro ekibadde kibumba ekkanisa bulijjo mu biseera byayo eby’obwesigwa obusingayo. Nga tannalinnya mu ggulu, Kristo eyazuukira yakuŋŋaanya abayigirizwa be n’abawa ekiragiro ekyo ekitasazibwangamu: “Kale mugende mufuule abantu bonna mu nsi zonna, abayigirizwa nga mubabatiza mu linnya lya Kitaffe, Omwana era Mwoyo Mutukuvu. Era mubayigirize okugonderanga byonna bye nabalagira mmwe, era Ndi nammwe bulijjo n’okutuukira ddala ensi lw’eriggwaawo.” (Matayo 28:19–20). Ebigambo bino bisindise abasajja n’abakazi okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi mu buli mulembe okuva lwe byasooka okwogerwa. Obulamu ekkumi obuli mu kitabo kino bwe by’okuddamu ekkumi eri ekiragiro ekyo — engeri kkumi ez’enjawulo Ekiragiro Ekinene gye kyavvuunulwamu mu kitundu ky’ensi, mu buwangwa, ne mu kiseera ekyenjawulo Katonda kye yali ategekedde buli omu ku bo.

Nga tannalinnya, Yesu era yannyonnyola obunene bw’omulimu ogwo mu ngeri entuufu ennyo, ne watabaawo nsonda ya nsi n’emu esigala ebweru waagwo: “Naye muliweebwa amaanyi, Mwoyo Mutukuvu bw’alimala okubakkako, era munaabanga bajulirwa bange mu Yerusaalemi, ne mu Buyudaaya yonna, ne mu Samaliya okutuukira ddala ku nkomerero z’ensi.” (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 1:8). Ebigambo “ku nkomerero z’ensi” tebyali bya kufaananya bufaananya eri abasajja n’abakazi abali mu kitabo kino. William Carey yamala emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu mu Buyindi. David Livingstone yayingira munda mu masekkati ga Afirika, ekitundu ekyali tekinnaba kuteekebwa ku maapu, n’afiira eyo ng’afukamidde. C.T. Studd yaweereza ku ssemazinga basatu. Catherine Booth yatwala enjiri mu nguudo z’ebitundu by’abaavu ebyali eby’akabi ennyo mu London ey’omu biseera bya Kabaka Omukazi Victoria. Enkomerero z’ensi, eri buli omu ku bo, zaali bifo bya ddala ku maapu — ebifo ebirina amannya, n’abantu abalina obwenyi, Enjiri gye yali tennatuuka.

Kiki ekyateekateeka abantu bano ekkumi okubeera n’obulamu obwo obw’ekitalo obw’okwefiiriza mu mulimu gw’obuminsani? Tekyali buvumu obusinga obw’abalala wadde obugumiikiriza obw’enjawulo, newankubadde nga byombi byaliwo. Kwali kukkiriza okunywevu mu njigiriza, nti abo abatali mu Kristo babuze, n’amaanyi agaabakaka agaava mu kukkiriza okwo.

Buli omu ku bo, mu ngeri ye, yali anywedde ensonga z’omutume Pawulo n’awulira obuzito bwazo bwonna obw’empisa. Baategeera ekyali mu kabi — nti emabega wa buli muntu atawulirangako njiri waaliyo emmeeme ey’omuwendo ogw’olubeerera, era nti ekibuuzo ky’aliba gy’alibeera emirembe gyonna tekyali kya ndowooza ya ddiini ey’okwejjalabya, wabula kya mazima agookya, ag’amangu, agakyusa obulamu.

Abo abaali bakkiriza ddala tebaasobola kubuusa maaso, nga bateredde, olujegere lw’ensonga Pawulo lwe yalambika mu Abaruumi: “Kale balikoowoola batya oyo gwe batakkiririzaamu? Era balikkiriza batya oyo gwe batawulirangako? Era baliwulira batya awatali abuulira? Era balibuulira batya nga tebatumiddwa? Ekyawandiikibwa nga bwe kigamba nti, ‘Ebigere by’abo abategeeza amawulire amalungi, nga birungi.’” (Abaruumi 10:14–15). Olujegere luva ku kuwulira ne lutuuka ku kukkiriza, ku kukoowoola, okutuuka ku bulokozi — era ku ntandikwa y’olujegere olwo wayimiriddewo oyo atumiddwa. Abantu bano ekkumi baali mpeta mu lujegere olwo. Be baali ebigere ebirungi. Era olujegere terwakutuka.

Okwefiiriza obulamu buno kwe bwalimu tekwali kintu kya ku mabbali mu mulimu, wabula kitundu kyagwo ekitayinza kwawulwamu. Pawulo yannyonnyola obuweereza bwe ye kennyini n’ebigambo buli omu ku bano ekkumi bye yandiwandiise ku ye yennyini: “obulamu bwange sibutwala kuba nga kya muwendo gye ndi, ndyoke ntuukirize omulimu gwange, n’obuweereza bwe nnaweebwa Mukama waffe Yesu, okutegeezanga Enjiri ey’ekisa kya Katonda” (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 20:24). Okutwala obulamu bwo nga si bwa muwendo gy’oli si kwegomba kufa wadde okwekyawa; kwe kusumululwa kw’emmeeme ezudde ekintu ekisinga omuwendo awatali kigero okusinga okukuuma obuweerero bwayo. Abantu bano ekkumi baali bazudde ekintu ekyo. Baakiyita enjiri y’ekisa, era baawaayo buli kye baalina okugibunyisa.

Essuula zino bifaananyi bya mazima, si bibumbe bya kusinzibwa. Abasajja n’abakazi b’ogenda okusisinkana mu mpapula zino tebaali bantu basukkulumye ku buntu abataakwatibwangako kutya, kubuusabuusa, kiwuubaalo, wadde okulemererwa. Emyaka omusanvu egyasooka William Carey gye yamala mu Buyindi tegyaleeta muntu n’omu eyakyuka. Obufumbo bwa David Livingstone bwasasika olw’ebizibu by’obuminsani bwe. Okwefiiriza kwa C.T. Studd okw’obuzira kwagenda wamu n’ebizibu bye ku bubwe abawandiisi b’ebyafaayo bye bye batabikkirira. Jim Elliot yafa ku myaka amakumi abiri mu munaana nga tannalaba muntu n’omu akyuka mu bantu be yali agenze okutuukako. Ekyafuula obulamu buno obw’ekitalo tekwali butabaamu bunafu bwa buntu, wabula okubeerawo kwa Katonda akolera mu bantu abanafu abakyali beetegefu, wadde nga waliwo byonna.

Obulamu buno ekkumi buggyewo buli kyekwaso kyonna eky’okubeera n’obulamu obw’okwejjalabya, obw’okwefaako wekka, obw’eddiini ekuumibwa mu kyama. Bukuzuukusemu ekibuuzo buli mulembe gw’Abakristaayo abeesimbu kye gulina okuddamu buggya: olw’ebyo Kristo by’akoze, olw’ebyo ensi by’eyetaaga, era olw’okuba nti obulamu bumu bwe bwokka buli omu ku ffe bw’alina — nze nkola ki n’obwange? Okuddamu ekibuuzo kino tekubangako kwa mangu nnyo okusinga bwe kuli kati.
