Omutendera Ogusooka

Bwe nnali nga ntambula mu ddungu ly’ensi eno, ne ntuuka mu kifo awaali empuku, ne ngalamira omwo okwebaka; era bwe nnali nga neebase, ne nnaloota ekirooto. Nnaloota, era laba, ne ndaba omusajja ayambadde engoye enkadde ezaayulika, ng’ayimiridde mu kifo ekimu, ng’akubye amabega ennyumba ye, ng’akutte ekitabo mu mukono gwe, era ng’alina omugugu omunene ku mugongo gwe. Isaaya 64:6; Lukka 14:33; Zabbuli 38:4. Ne ntunula ne mmulaba ng’ayanjuluza ekitabo n’asomamu; era bwe yali ng’asoma, n’akaaba n’akankana; era bwe yalemwa okwefuga ate, n’aleekaana n’eddoboozi ery’ennaku ng’agamba nti, “Nnaakola ntya?” Ebikolwa by’Abatume 2:37; 16:30; Kaabakuuku 1:2,3.

Bw’atyo mu nnaku eyo n’addayo eka, ne yeekomako okutuusa we yasobolera, mukazi we n’abaana be baleme okulaba obuyinike bwe; naye teyasobola kusirika bbanga ddene, kubanga ennaku ye yeeyongera. Ku nkomerero n’abikkulira mukazi we n’abaana be ebyali ku mutima gwe, n’atandika okwogera nabo bw’ati: “Ayi mukyala wange omwagalwa,” bwe yagamba, “nammwe abaana b’olubuto lwange, nze mukwano gwammwe omwagalwa, nzikiridde ddala olw’omugugu ogunzitoowerera; era ekisingawo, ntegeezeddwa ddala nti ekibuga kyaffe kino kirijjirwa omuliro okuva mu ggulu ne kyokebwa; era mu kuzikirira okwo okw’entiisa, nze, naawe mukyala wange, nammwe abaana bange abaagalwa, tulizikirira mu nnaku ennyingi, okuggyako nga wazuuliddwa ekkubo (lye sinnalaba) we tuyinza okuwonera.” Awo ab’omu nnyumba ye ne beewuunya nnyo; si lwa kuba nti baalowooza nti bye yabagamba byali bya mazima, wabula kubanga baalowooza nti eddalu limulinnye ku mutwe; noolwekyo, obudde nga buwungeera, era nga basuubira nti otulo tuyinza okumukkakkanya obwongo, ne banguwa okumugalamiza ku kitanda. Naye ekiro kyamutawaanya nga emisana bwe kyali; bw’atyo mu kifo ky’okwebaka n’akimala ng’asinda era ng’akaaba amaziga. Awo obudde bwe bwakya, ne baagala okumanya bw’ali. N’abagamba nti, “Bigenda byeyongera kwonooneka:” n’atandika nate okwogera nabo; naye bo ne batandika okukakanyala. Ne balowooza okumugobamu eddalu lye nga bamuyisa bubi era nga bamukambuwalira; oluusi baamusekereranga, oluusi baamunenyanga, era oluusi baamulekeranga ddala. Awo n’atandika okwekweka mu kisenge kye okubasabira n’okubasaasira, era n’okukaabira ennaku ye; era yatambulanga yekka mu nnimiro, oluusi ng’asoma, oluusi ng’asaba: bw’atyo n’amala ennaku eziwerako.

Awo ne ndaba, lumu bwe yali ng’atambula mu nnimiro, nga (nga bwe yali amanyidde) asoma mu kitabo kye, era ng’alumwa nnyo mu mutima; era bwe yali ng’asoma, n’aleekaana nga bwe yakola edda, ng’agamba nti, “Nkole ki okulokolebwa?” Ebikolwa by’Abatume 16:30,31.

Ne ndaba nate ng’atunula eno n’eri, ng’ayagala okudduka; naye n’ayimirira buyimirizi kubanga (nga bwe nnategeera) teyamanya kkubo lya kukwata. Awo ne ntunula, ne ndaba omusajja erinnya lye Omubuulizi ng’ajja gy’ali, n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekikukaabya?”

N’addamu nti, “Ssebo, ntegeera, olw’ekitabo ekiri mu mukono gwange, nti nsaliddwa omusango okufa, n’oluvannyuma okulamulwa, Abaebbulaniya 9:27; era nkizudde nti sikkiriza kukola ekisooka, Yobu 10: 21,22, era sisobola kugumira kyakubiri.” Ezeekyeri 22:14.

Omubuulizi n’agamba nti, “Lwaki tokkiriza kufa, ng’obulamu buno bujjudde ebibi bingi bwe bityo?” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Kubanga ntya nti omugugu guno oguli ku mugongo gwange gulinnyika wansi okusinga entaana, era ndigwa mu Tofesi. Isaaya 30:33. Era Ssebo, obanga sisaanidde kugenda mu kkomera, sisaanidde kugenda mu kulamulwa, n’okuva eyo okuttibwa; era okulowooza ku bintu ebyo kwe kunkaabya.”

Omubuulizi n’agamba nti, “Obanga bw’otyo bw’oli, lwaki oyimiridde buyimirizi?” N’addamu nti, “Kubanga simanyi gye nnaagenda.” Awo n’amuwa omuzingo gw’olupapula, nga mu gwo muwandiikiddwamu nti, “Dduka obusungu bwa Katonda obugenda okujja.” Matayo 3:7.

Omusajja n’agusoma, n’atunuulira Omubuulizi n’obwegendereza bungi, n’agamba nti, “Nnaddukira wa?” Omubuulizi (ng’asonga n’olugalo lwe ku nnimiro engazi ennyo) n’agamba nti, “Olaba omulyango omufunda guli?” Matayo 7:13,14. Omusajja n’agamba nti, “Nedda.” Omulala n’agamba nti, “Olaba ekitangaala kiri ekyakaayakana?” Zabbuli 119:105; 2 Peetero 1:19. N’agamba nti, “Ndowooza nkiraba.” Omubuulizi n’agamba nti, “Kuuma ekitangaala ekyo mu maaso go, ogende butereevu gye kiri, olwo onoolaba omulyango; bw’onookonkona ku gwo, onoobuulirwa ky’olina okukola.” Awo ne ndaba mu kirooto kyange omusajja ng’atandika okudduka. Yali tannava wala ku luggi lwe, mukazi we n’abaana be ne bakiraba, ne batandika okumukaabirira akomeewo; naye omusajja n’aziba amatu ge n’engalo, n’adduka ng’aleekaana nti, Obulamu! obulamu! obulamu obutaggwaawo! Lukka 14:26. Bw’atyo n’atatunula mabega, Olubereberye 19:17, n’adduka ng’agenda wakati mu lusenyi.

Ne baliraanwa ne bafuluma okumulaba ng’adduka, Yeremiya 20:10; era bwe yali ng’adduka, abamu ne bamusekerera, abalala ne bamutiisatiisa, n’abalala ne bamukoowoola akomeewo; era mu abo abaakola bwe batyo, mwalimu babiri abaamalirira okumukomyawo lwa maanyi. Erinnya ly’omu lyali Omukakanyavu, n’ery’omulala Akyukakyuka. Mu kiseera ekyo omusajja yali amaze okubeesuulirayo ebanga; naye era baamalirira okumugoberera, ne bamugoberera, era mu kaseera katono ne bamutuukako. Omusajja n’agamba nti, “Baliraanwa, muzze ku lwa ki?” Ne bagamba nti, “Okukusendasenda odde naffe.” Naye n’agamba nti, “Ekyo tekiyinzika n’akatono: mmwe mubeera,” bwe yagamba, “mu Kibuga eky’Okuzikirira, era mwe nnazaalirwa: ndaba nti bwe kiri; era bwe mulifiira omwo, kaakano oba luvannyuma, mulinnyikira wansi okusinga entaana, mu kifo ekyaka omuliro n’ekibiriiti: mukkirize, baliraanwa abalungi, mujje nange.”

Omukakanyavu: Ki? bwe yagamba Omukakanyavu, ne tuleka emabega mikwano gyaffe n’ebyaffe ebitusanyusa!

Omukristaayo: Weewaawo, bwe yagamba Omukristaayo (kubanga eryo lye lyali erinnya lye), kubanga byonna bye muleka tebisaanira na kugeraageranyizibwa ku katono ku ebyo bye nnoonya okunyumirwa, 2 Abakkolinso 4:18; era bwe munaagenda nange ne mukinyweza, mulifuna nga nze bwe ndifuna; kubanga eyo gye ŋŋenda waliyo ebimala n’ebisigalawo. Lukka 15:17. Mujje, mugezese ebigambo byange.

Omukakanyavu: Bintu ki by’onoonya, ng’oleka ensi yonna okubifuna?

Omukristaayo: Nnoonya omugabo mu busika, ogw’olubeerera ogutakyusa langi era ogutafuma, 1 Peetero 1:4; era guterekeddwa mu ggulu, era gukuumibwa bulungi eyo, Abaebbulaniya 11:16, okuweebwa, mu kiseera ekyalagirwa, abo abaguyiggira n’obunyiikivu. Kisome bw’otyo, bw’oba oyagala, mu kitabo kyange.

Omukakanyavu: Bambi, bwe yagamba Omukakanyavu, kitabo kyo kiveeko; onodda naffe oba nedda?

Omukristaayo: Nedda, si nze, bwe yagamba omulala, kubanga nkutte ekyuma ekirima mu ngalo zange. Lukka 9:62.

Omukakanyavu: Kale nno, muliraanwa Akyukakyuka, tukyuke tuddeyo eka awatali ye: waliwo ekibinja ky’abasirusiru bano abataliiko mitwe, abeekwata ekirowoozo, ne beerowooza okuba abagezi okusinga abantu omusanvu abaddamu ebibuuzo mu butuufu.

Akyukakyuka: Awo Akyukakyuka n’agamba nti, Toyomba; obanga Omukristaayo omulungi by’ayogera bya mazima, ebintu by’anoonya bisinga ebyaffe: omutima gwange gwagala okugenda ne muliraanwa wange.

Omukakanyavu: Ki, abasirusiru beeyongedde! Mpuliriza oddeyo; ani amanyi omusajja ono alina eddalu gy’anaakutwala? Ddayo, ddayo, obe wa magezi.

Omukristaayo: Nedda, wabula ggwe jjangu ne muliraanwa wo Akyukakyuka; ebintu bye nnayogeddeko bifunika ddala, n’ebitiibwa ebirala bingi okusingawo. Obanga tonzikiriza, soma wano mu kitabo kino; era ku mazima g’ebyo ebikiwandiikiddwamu, laba, byonna byakakasibwa omusaayi gw’Oyo eyakikola. Abaebbulaniya 9: 17-21.

Akyukakyuka: Kale, muliraanwa Omukakanyavu, bwe yagamba Akyukakyuka, ntandise okusalawo; njagala okugenda n’omusajja ono omulungi, ne nneegatta naye mu bulamu bwe: naye, munnange omulungi, omanyi ekkubo eridda mu kifo ekyo kye twegomba?

Omukristaayo: Nnalagirwa omusajja erinnya lye Omubuulizi okwanguwa okutuuka ku mulyango omutono oguli mu maaso gaffe, gye tunaaweerwa okulagirirwa ku kkubo.

Akyukakyuka: Kale jjangu, muliraanwa omulungi, tugende. Awo bombi ne bagendera wamu.

Omukakanyavu: Nange nzirayo ewange, bwe yagamba Omukakanyavu: sijja kuba munne wa basajja bano abaawabye abajjudde ebirowoozo ebitaliimu.

Awo ne ndaba mu kirooto kyange, Omukakanyavu bwe yamala okuddayo, Omukristaayo ne Akyukakyuka ne batambula nga bwe banyumya mu lusenyi; era bwe batyo bwe baatandika emboozi yaabwe.

Omukristaayo: Kale, muliraanwa Akyukakyuka, oli otya? Nsanyuse nti omatiddwa okugenda nange. Singa Omukakanyavu yennyini yawulira ku ebyo bye mpulidde ku maanyi n’entiisa by’ebyo ebitannalabika, teyandituvuddeko mu ngeri ennyangu bw’etyo.

Akyukakyuka: Kale, muliraanwa Omukristaayo, okuva bwe tuli ffekka wano ffembi, mbuulira kaakano n’okusingawo, ebintu ebyo bye biruwa, era bwe tulibinyumirwa, eyo gye tugenda.

Omukristaayo: Nsobola okubitegeera mu mutima okusinga okubyogera n’olulimi: naye, okuva bw’oyagala okumanya, nja kubikusomera mu kitabo kyange.

Akyukakyuka: Era olowooza nti ebigambo by’ekitabo kyo bya mazima ddala?

Omukristaayo: Weewaawo, ddala; kubanga kyakolebwa Oyo atayinza kulimba. Tito 1:2.

Akyukakyuka: Oyogedde bulungi; bintu ki?

Omukristaayo: Waliwo obwakabaka obutaggwaawo bwe tulibeeramu, n’obulamu obutaggwaawo bwe tuliweebwa, tulyoke tubeere mu bwakabaka obwo emirembe gyonna. Isaaya 65:17; Yokaana 10: 27-29.

Akyukakyuka: Oyogedde bulungi; ate kiki ekirala?

Omukristaayo: Waliwo engule ez’ekitiibwa ze tuliweebwa; n’ebyambalo ebirituleetera okwakaayakana ng’enjuba mu bbanga ery’eggulu. 2 Timoseewo 4:8; Okubikkulirwa 22:5; Matayo 13:43.

Akyukakyuka: Kino kisanyusa nnyo; ate kiki ekirala?

Omukristaayo: Tewalibaawo kukaaba nate, wadde ennaku; kubanga nnannyini kifo ekyo alisangula amaziga mu maaso gaffe. Isaaya 25:8; Okubikkulirwa 7:16, 17; 21:4.

Akyukakyuka: Era tulibeera na bantu ki eyo?

Omukristaayo: Eyo tulibeera ne baserafi ne bakerubi, Isaaya 6:2; 1 Basessaloniika 4:16,17; Okubikkulirwa 5:11; ebitonde ebirikuwuubaaza amaaso ng’obitunuulira. Era eyo olisisinkana enkumi n’enkumi n’obukumi n’obukumi abaatukulembera okugenda mu kifo ekyo; tewali n’omu ku bo alumya, wabula bonna balina okwagala era batukuvu; buli omu atambulira mu maaso ga Katonda, era ayimirira mu maaso ge ng’akkirizibwa emirembe gyonna. Mu bufunze, eyo tulirabayo abakadde nga bambadde engule zaabwe eza zaabu, Okubikkulirwa 4:4; eyo tulirabayo embeerera entukuvu nga zikutte ennanga zaazo eza zaabu, Okubikkulirwa 14:1-5; eyo tulirabayo abasajja ensi be yatemaatema, be yayokya mu muliro, be yaliisa ensolo, be yasaanyiza mu nnyanja, olw’okwagala kwe baalina eri Mukama w’ekifo ekyo, Yokaana 12:25; bonna nga bali bulungi, nga bambadde obutafa ng’ekyambalo. 2 Abakkolinso 5:2.

Akyukakyuka: Okuwulira bino kumala okusanyusa omutima gw’omuntu. Naye ebintu bino ddala tulibinyumirwa? Tunaafuna tutya omugabo mu byo?

Omukristaayo: Mukama, omufuzi w’ensi eyo, akiwandiise mu kitabo kino, Isaaya 55:1,2; Yokaana 6:37; 7:37; Okubikkulirwa 21:6; 22:17; amakulu gaakyo gali nti, bwe tunaaba nga ddala twagala okubifuna, alibituwa buwa.

Akyukakyuka: Kale, munnange omulungi, nsanyuse okuwulira ebintu bino: jjangu, twanguwe okutambula.

Omukristaayo: Sisobola kutambula mangu nga bwe njagala, olw’omugugu guno oguli ku mugongo gwange.

Awo ne ndaba mu kirooto kyange, nga bwe baali baakamala emboozi eyo, ne basemberera ekinnya ky’ebitosi ebingi ekyali wakati mu lusenyi: era olw’obutegendereza, bombi ne bagwa mangu mu bitosi. Erinnya ly’ekinnya lyali Okuggwaamu-Essuubi. Wano ne bayuuguumira mu ttosi akaseera, nga basiigiddwa nnyo ebitosi; era Omukristaayo, olw’omugugu ogwali ku mugongo gwe, n’atandika okukka wansi mu ttosi.

Akyukakyuka: Awo Akyukakyuka n’agamba nti, Ayi, muliraanwa Omukristaayo, oli wa kaakano?

Omukristaayo: Mazima, bwe yagamba Omukristaayo, simanyi.

Akyukakyuka: Awo Akyukakyuka n’atandika okunyiiga, n’agamba munne n’obusungu nti, Lino lye ssanyu lye wambuuliranga ebbanga lino lyonna? Obanga tufunye ebizibu bwe bityo nga twakatandika olugendo, kiki kye tuyinza okusuubira wakati wa kaakano n’enkomerero y’olugendo lwaffe? Bwe ndiva wano nga ndi mulamu, ensi eyo ennungi ogifune wekka ku lwange. Awo n’alwana n’amaanyi ge gonna omulundi gumu oba ebiri, n’ava mu ttosi ku ludda lw’ekinnya olwali okumpi n’ennyumba ye: bw’atyo n’agenda, Omukristaayo n’atamulaba nate.

Awo Omukristaayo n’alekebwa okuyuuguumira yekka mu Kinnya ky’Okuggwaamu-Essuubi; naye era n’afuba okwekuluggusa okugenda ku ludda lw’ekinnya olwali ewala n’ennyumba ye, era okumpi n’omulyango omufunda; n’akituukako, naye n’atasobola kuvaamu olw’omugugu ogwali ku mugongo gwe: naye ne ndaba mu kirooto kyange, omusajja ng’ajja gy’ali, erinnya lye Omuyambi, n’amubuuza ky’akola awo.

Omukristaayo: Ssebo, bwe yagamba Omukristaayo, nnalagirwa okukwata ekkubo lino omusajja ayitibwa Omubuulizi, eyannagira n’okugenda ku mulyango guli, ndyoke ndduke obusungu obugenda okujja. Era bwe nnali nga ŋŋenda eyo, ne ngwa wano.

Omuyambi: Naye lwaki tewanoonya madaala?

Omukristaayo: Okutya kwangoberera nnyo ne nziddukira mu kkubo eryasooka okuliraana, ne ngwamu.

Omuyambi: Awo n’agamba nti, Mpa omukono gwo: n’amuwa omukono gwe, n’amusikayo, Zabbuli 40:2, n’amuteeka ku ttaka eggumu, n’amugamba yeeyongere mu kkubo lye.

Awo ne nsemberera oyo eyamusikayo, ne mmugamba nti, “Ssebo, okuva ekkubo eriva mu Kibuga eky’Okuzikirira okutuuka ku mulyango guli bwe liyita mu kifo kino, lwaki ekitundu kino tekiddaabirizibwa, abatambuze abaavu bayiteyo nga tebali mu kabi?” N’aŋŋamba nti, “Ekinnya kino eky’ebitosi kifo ekitayinza kuddaabirizibwa: kye kiserengeto ewakulukutira obutasalako ebisasiro n’obucaafu ebigoberera okumanya ekibi kw’omuntu, era kye kiva kiyitibwa Ekinnya ky’Okuggwaamu-Essuubi; kubanga buli lwe kibaawo omwonoonyi ng’azuukusiddwa n’ategeera nti yabula, mu mmeeme ye mujjamu okutya kungi n’okubuusabuusa, n’ebirowoozo ebimuggwaamu amaanyi, era byonna bikuŋŋaanira wamu ne bisigala mu kifo kino: era eyo y’ensonga lwaki ettaka lino libi bwe lityo.

“Si kye kisanyusa Kabaka nti ekifo kino kisigale nga kibi bwe kityo. Isaaya 35:3,4. Abakozi be nabo, nga balagirwa abalabirizi b’Obwakabaka bwe, bamaze emyaka egisoba mu lukumi mu lukaaga nga bakola ku kifo kino, oboolyawo kiyinze okuddaabirizibwa: weewaawo, era nga bwe mmanyi,” bwe yagamba, “mu kyo mumize waakiri ebigaali emitwalo ebiri, weewaawo, obukadde n’obukadde bw’okuyigiriza okulungi, okwaleetebwanga mu biseera byonna okuva mu bifo byonna eby’obwakabaka bwa Kabaka, (era abamanyi bagamba nti bye bintu ebisinga obulungi okufuula ekifo kino ettaka eddungi,) singa kyali kisobola okuddaabirizibwa; naye kikyali Kinnya ky’Okuggwaamu-Essuubi, era bwe kityo bwe kinaabeeranga ne bwe banaamala okukola kyonna kye basobola.

“Mazima, ng’Omuwi w’Amateeka bwe yalagira, waliwo amadaala amalungi era amagumu, agateekeddwa ddala wakati mu kinnya kino; naye mu biseera ekifo kino we kiwandulira ennyo obucaafu bwakyo, nga bwe kikola obudde bwe bugenda okukyuka, amadaala gano galabika bubi; oba bwe galabika, abantu, olw’okuziyira kw’emitwe gyabwe, bagaseeseetukako, ne beebunya ddala mu bitosi, newaakubadde amadaala nga gaaliwo: naye ettaka liba ddungi bwe baba bamaze okuyingira mu mulyango.” 1 Samwiri 12:23.

Awo ne ndaba mu kirooto kyange, mu kiseera ekyo Akyukakyuka yali atuuse ewuwe eka. Baliraanwa be ne bajja okumukyalira; abamu ku bo ne bamuyita wa magezi olw’okukomawo, abalala ne bamuyita musirusiru olw’okwesuula mu kabi n’Omukristaayo; abalala nate ne baduula obuti bwe, nga bagamba nti, “Mazima, bwe nnandibadde nga natandika okwetanira olugendo, sandibadde wa buti bwe nti okuddira emabega olw’obuzibu obutono:” bw’atyo Akyukakyuka n’atuula mu bo nga yeekwese. Naye ku nkomerero n’afuna obuvumu, awo bonna ne bakyusa olugambo lwabwe, ne batandika okuduulira Omukristaayo omwavu ng’ali emabega we. Ebyo bimala ku Akyukakyuka.

Awo Omukristaayo bwe yali ng’atambula yekka, n’alengera omuntu ewala ng’ajja ng’asala ennimiro okumusisinkana; era ne bagwa ku kusisinkana mu kiseera kyennyini bwe baali basala ekkubo lya buli omu. Erinnya ly’omwami eyamusisinkana lyali Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: yabeeranga mu kibuga eky’Amagezi-g’Omubiri, ekibuga ekinene ennyo, era ekyali okumpi n’ekyo Omukristaayo gye yava. Omusajja ono bwe yasisinkana Omukristaayo, ng’alina ky’amumanyiiko, (kubanga okusitula kw’Omukristaayo okuva mu Kibuga eky’Okuzikirira kwali kubunye nnyo, si mu kibuga mwe yabeeranga kyokka, naye era kwali kutandise okufuuka olugambo olw’ekibuga mu bifo ebirala)—Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi, kale, ng’alina ky’ateebereza ku ye, olw’okulaba entambula ye ey’obuzibu, n’okwetegereza okusinda n’okusinda kwe n’ebiringa ebyo, n’atandika bw’ati okunyumya n’Omukristaayo.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Kale, munnange omulungi, ogenda wa ng’otisse omugugu bw’otyo?

Omukristaayo: Ddala, nga ntisse omugugu nga omuntu omunaku yenna bwe yali tatissebwangako! Era bw’ombuuza nti, Ogenda wa? Nkugamba, ssebo, ŋŋenda ku mulyango omufunda guli mu maaso gange; kubanga eyo, nga bwe mbuuliddwa, gye ndiyingizibwa mu kkubo ery’okuggibwako omugugu gwange omuzito.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Olina omukazi n’abaana?

Omukristaayo: Weewaawo; naye omugugu guno gunzitoowerera nnyo n’okuba sikyabasanyukira nga bwe nnali edda: ndowooza nga ndi ng’atabalina. 1 Abakkolinso 7:29.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Onompuliriza bwe nnaakuwa amagezi?

Omukristaayo: Bwe ganaaba amalungi, nja kukuwuliriza; kubanga nneetaaga amagezi amalungi.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Kale nkuwa amagezi oyanguwe nnyo okweggyako omugugu gwo; kubanga tolitereera mu mutima okutuusa olwo: era tolisobola kunyumirwa birungi by’emikisa Katonda gy’akuwadde okutuusa olwo.

Omukristaayo: Ekyo kyennyini kye nnoonya, okuggibwako omugugu guno omuzito: naye nze kennyini sisobola kugweggyako, era tewali muntu mu nsi yaffe ayinza kuguggya ku bibegabega byange; kyenva nkwata ekkubo lino, nga bwe nkugambye, ndyoke nzigyibweko omugugu gwange.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Ani eyakugamba okukwata ekkubo lino okuggibwako omugugu gwo?

Omukristaayo: Omusajja eyandabikira okuba omuntu omukulu ennyo era ow’ekitiibwa: erinnya lye, nga bwe nzijukira, ye Omubuulizi.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Akolimirwe olw’amagezi ge ago! tewali kkubo mu nsi lisinga kuba lya kabi n’okutawaanya okusinga eryo ly’akulagiddemu; era ekyo olikizuula bw’onoogoberera amagezi ge. Waliwo ky’osanze dda, nga bwe ndaba; kubanga ndaba ebitosi by’Ekinnya ky’Okuggwaamu-Essuubi biri ku ggwe: naye ekinnya ekyo ye ntandikwa y’ennaku ezigoberera abo abakwata ekkubo eryo. Mpuliriza; nze nkusinga obukulu: ggwe mu kkubo ly’otambuliramu oyinza okusangamu obukoowu, obulumi, enjala, akabi, obwereere, ekitala, empologoma, ebisota ebinene, ekizikiza, era mu bufunze, okufa, n’ebirala bingi. Ebintu bino bya mazima ddala, kubanga abajulirwa bangi babikakasizza. Kale omuntu yandyesuddewo bw’atyo mu bugayaavu, ng’awuliriza omugenyi?

Omukristaayo: Ssebo, omugugu guno oguli ku mugongo gwange gunzitiisa nnyo okusinga ebintu ebyo byonna by’oyogeddeko: nedda, ndowooza sifaayo kye ndisanga mu kkubo, kasita nsobola okusanga n’okununulibwa okuva ku mugugu gwange.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Omugugu gwo wagufuna otya mu kusooka?

Omukristaayo: Olw’okusoma ekitabo kino ekiri mu mukono gwange.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Nnali ndowooza bwe ntyo; era kikutuuseeko nga bwe kituuka ku basajja abalala abanafu, abeeyingiza mu bintu ebibasukkiridde, ne bagwa mangu mu kutabulwa ng’okwo kw’olimu; okutabulwa okwo tekumala gaggyamu basajja busajja, nga bwe ndaba nti kukukoze, naye kubasindika mu kwesuula mu kabi, okufuna kye batamanyi.

Omukristaayo: Mmanyi kye njagala okufuna; kwe kuwummula okuva ku mugugu gwange omuzito.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Naye lwaki onoonyeza okuwummula mu kkubo lino, ng’akabi kangi bwe kati kalirindiridde? naddala nga (singa wandibadde n’obugumiikiriza okumpuliriza) nsobola okukulaga engeri y’okufuna ky’oyagala, awatali kabi k’onoyingiramu mu kkubo lino. Weewaawo, era eddagala liri kumpi. Ate era nja kwongerako nti, mu kifo ky’akabi ako, olisanga obukuumi bungi, omukwano, n’okumatira.

Omukristaayo: Ssebo, nkwegayiridde, mbikkulira ekyama kino.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Kale, mu kyalo kiri (ekyalo ekyo kiyitibwa Obutuukirivu) mubeeramu omwami erinnya lye Amateeka, omusajja ow’amagezi ennyo, era ow’erinnya eddungi ennyo, alina obukugu okuyamba abantu okuggyako ku bibegabega byabwe emigugu ng’ogwo gwo; weewaawo, nga bwe mmanyi, akoze ebirungi bingi mu ngeri eyo; weewaawo, era ekisingawo, alina obukugu okuwonya abo abaagwamu akalalu olw’emigugu gyabwe. Gy’ali, nga bwe njogedde, oyinza okugenda, n’oyambibwa amangu ago. Ennyumba ye tetuuka na mayiro emu okuva wano; era singa ye kennyini tabaayo, alina mutabani we omuvubuka omulungi, erinnya lye Empisa, asobola okukikola (okwogera amazima) obulungi nga kitaawe omukadde yennyini: eyo, nkugamba, oyinza okuggibwako omugugu gwo; era bw’oba toyagala kuddayo mu maka go ag’edda, (nga ddala sandikwagalidde,) oyinza okutumya mukazi wo n’abaana bo mu kyalo kino, kubanga mulimu amayumba kaakano agataliimu bantu, limu ku go oyinza okulifuna ku muwendo ogw’ekigero: n’emmere eyo nnyangu ate nnungi; era ekireetera obulamu bwo okusingawo okusanyusa, kiri nti mazima eyo olibeera ne baliraanwa ab’empisa ennungi, ng’oli wa kitiibwa era ow’erinnya eddungi.

Omukristaayo n’asooka okuyimirira nga tamanyi kya kukola; naye amangu ago n’amalirira nti, Obanga kino omwami ono ky’agambye kya mazima, ekisinga obugezi kwe kugoberera amagezi ge: bw’atyo n’ayongera okwogera bw’ati.

Omukristaayo: Ssebo, ekkubo erigenda ku nnyumba y’omusajja ono ow’empisa ennungi liri ludda wa?

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Olaba olusozi luli oluwanvu?

Omukristaayo: Weewaawo, ndulaba bulungi nnyo.

Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi: Olina kuyita ku lusozi olwo, era ennyumba esooka gy’onootuukako y’eyiye.

Awo Omukristaayo n’akyuka n’ava mu kkubo lye okugenda ku nnyumba y’Omwami Amateeka okufuna obuyambi: naye, laba, bwe yatuuka okumpi n’olusozi, ne lulabika nga luwanvu nnyo, era n’oludda lwalwo olwali okumpi n’ekkubo nga lwewunzise nnyo, Omukristaayo n’atya okwongerayo, olusozi lulemenga okumugwira ku mutwe; awo n’ayimirira buyimirizi, nga tamanyi kya kukola. Era omugugu gwe ne gumulabikira nga muzito okusinga bwe yali mu kkubo lye. Ate n’ennimi z’omuliro ne ziva mu lusozi, Okuva 19:16, 18, ne zireetera Omukristaayo okutya nti anaayokebwa: awo n’atuuyana n’akankana olw’okutya. Abaebbulaniya 12:21. Awo n’atandika okwejjusa olw’okukkiriza amagezi g’Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi; era mu kiseera ekyo n’alaba Omubuulizi ng’ajja okumusisinkana, era bwe yamulaba n’atandika okukwatibwa ensonyi. Omubuulizi ne yeeyongera okusembera; bwe yamutuukako, n’amutunuulira n’amaaso amakambwe era ag’entiisa, n’atandika bw’ati okuwakana n’Omukristaayo.

Omubuulizi: Okola ki wano, Omukristaayo? bwe yagamba: Omukristaayo bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’atamanya kya kuddamu; bw’atyo n’ayimirira mu maaso ge nga asirise. Omubuulizi n’ayongera n’agamba nti, Si ggwe omusajja gwe nnasanga ng’okaabira ebweru wa bbugwe w’Ekibuga eky’Okuzikirira?

Omukristaayo: Weewaawo, ssebo omwagalwa, nze wuuyo.

Omubuulizi: Si nze nakulaga ekkubo erigenda ku mulyango omutono omufunda?

Omukristaayo: Weewaawo, ssebo omwagalwa, bwe yagamba Omukristaayo.

Omubuulizi: Kale kiki ekikukyamizza amangu bwe gatyo? Kubanga kaakano oli bweru wa kkubo.

Omukristaayo: Nnasisinkana omwami nga nnaakava mu Kinnya ky’Okuggwaamu-Essuubi, n’ammatiza nti mu kyalo ekiri mu maaso gange nnyinza okusangamu omusajja asobola okunzigyako omugugu gwange.

Omubuulizi: Yali muntu ki?

Omukristaayo: Yalabika ng’omwami, era yayogera nange nnyo, ku nkomerero n’ankkirizisa: bwe ntyo ne nzija wano; naye bwe nnalaba olusozi luno, era nga bwe lwewunzise ku kkubo, ne nnyimirira mangu, lulemenga okungwira ku mutwe.

Omubuulizi: Omwami oyo yakugamba ki?

Omukristaayo: Yambuuza gye ŋŋenda; ne mmubuulira.

Omubuulizi: Ate n’agamba ki?

Omukristaayo: Yambuuza obanga nnina amaka; ne mmubuulira. Naye ne ŋŋamba nti, Omugugu oguli ku mugongo gwange gunzitoowerera nnyo n’okuba sikyabasanyukira nga bwe nnali edda.

Omubuulizi: Ate n’agamba ki?

Omukristaayo: Yaŋŋamba nyanguwe okweggyako omugugu gwange; ne mmugamba nti nnoonya kuwummula. Era ne ŋŋamba nti, Kyenva ŋŋenda ku mulyango guli, okufuna okulagirirwa okulala ku ngeri gye nnyinza okutuuka mu kifo eky’okununulibwa. Awo n’agamba nti yali agenda kundaga ekkubo erisinga obulungi, era eddimpi, eritaliimu buzibu bungi ng’ekkubo, ssebo, lye wanteekamu; ekkubo eryo, bwe yagamba, linaakutwala ku nnyumba y’omwami alina obukugu okuggyako emigugu gino: bwe ntyo ne mmukkiriza, ne nkyuka okuva mu kkubo eryo ne nkwata lino, oboolyawo nzigyibweko mangu omugugu gwange. Naye bwe nnatuuka mu kifo kino, ne ndaba ebintu nga bwe biri, ne nnyimirira, olw’okutya (nga bwe njogedde) akabi: naye kaakano simanyi kya kukola.

Omubuulizi: Awo Omubuulizi n’agamba nti, Yimirira akaseera, nkulage ebigambo bya Katonda. N’ayimirira ng’akankana. Omubuulizi n’agamba nti, “Kale mugonderenga oyo ayogera nammwe. Obanga Abayisirayiri tebaayinza kulokoka, bwe baagaana okuwulira oyo eyabalabula ng’ali ku nsi, tetuliyisibwa bubi nnyo n’okusingawo, bwe tulijeemera ekigambo ky’oyo ow’omu ggulu atulabula?” Abaebbulaniya 12:25. N’ayongera n’agamba nti, “Omutuukirivu wange, anaabanga mulamu lwa kukkiriza, kyokka bw’adda emabega simusanyukira.” Abaebbulaniya 10:38. Era n’abitegeeza bw’ati: Ggwe wuuyo omusajja adduka ng’agenda mu kabi kano; otandise okugaana okubuulirirwa kw’Ali Waggulu Ennyo, n’okuggya ekigere kyo mu kkubo ery’emirembe, n’okutuusa kumpi n’okwesuula mu kuzikirira.

Awo Omukristaayo n’agwa wansi ku bigere bye ng’afudde, ng’akaaba nti, Zinsanze nze! Nfudde mpeddewo! Omubuulizi bwe yalaba ekyo, n’amukwata ku mukono ogwa ddyo, ng’agamba nti, “omuntu alisonyiyibwa buli kibi kyonna, na buli kuvvoola.” Matayo 12:31. “Lekeraawo okuba atakkiriza, naye kkiriza.” Yokaana 20:27. Awo Omukristaayo n’addamu akamaanyi katono, n’ayimirira ng’akankana, nga bwe yali mu kusooka, mu maaso g’Omubuulizi.

Awo Omubuulizi ne yeeyongera, ng’agamba nti, Ssaayo nnyo omwoyo ku bintu bye nnaakubuulira. Kaakano nja kukulaga oyo eyakubuzaabuza, era n’oyo gwe yakutumako. Omusajja eyakusisinkana ye Ow’amagezi-g’ensi, era erinnya eryo limusaanira; ekitundu kubanga ayagala nzikiriza ya nsi eno yokka, 1 Yokaana 4:5, (kyava bulijjo agenda okusinza mu kibuga ky’Obutuukirivu;) n’ekitundu kubanga enzikiriza eyo y’asinga okwagala, kubanga y’esinga okumuwonya omusaalaba, Abaggalatiya 6:12: era olw’okuba nga wa mbeera ya mubiri, kyava anoonya okukyamya amakubo gange, newaakubadde nga matuufu. Kaakano mu magezi g’omusajja ono mulimu ebintu bisatu by’oteekwa okukyawa ddala.

1. Okukuggya mu kkubo.

2. Okufuba kwe okukukyayisa omusaalaba.

3. N’okuteeka ebigere byo mu kkubo eritwala mu buweereza obw’okufa.

Ekisooka, oteekwa okukyawa okukuggya kwe mu kkubo; weewaawo, n’okukkiriza kwo ggwe kennyini; kubanga kuno kwe kugaana okubuulirirwa kwa Katonda ku lw’okubuulirirwa kwa Ow’amagezi-g’ensi. Mukama agamba nti, “Mufube okuyingira mu mulyango omufunda,” Lukka 13:24, omulyango gwe nkutumako; “Kubanga omulyango mufunda, n’ekkubo eridda eri obulamu ffunda, era n’abaliraba batono.” Matayo 7:13,14. Okuva ku mulyango guno omutono omufunda, n’okuva ku kkubo eriguyingiramu, omusajja ono omubi kw’akuggye, n’akutuusa kumpi n’okuzikirira: kale kyawa okukuggya kwe mu kkubo, era weetamwe olw’okumuwuliriza.

Eky’okubiri, oteekwa okukyawa okufuba kwe okukukyayisa omusaalaba; kubanga oteekwa okugwagala okusinga obugagga bw’e Misiri. Abaebbulaniya 11:25,26. Ate era Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa akugambye nti oyo ayagala okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa. Era oyo amugoberera, n’atakyawa kitaawe, ne nnyina, ne mukazi we, n’abaana be, ne baganda be, ne bannyina, weewaawo, n’obulamu bwe ye yennyini, tayinza kuba muyigirizwa we. Makko 8:38; Yokaana 12:25; Matayo 10:39; Lukka 14:26. Kale, nkugamba, omuntu bw’afuba okukumatiza nti ekyo kye kinaakutta, kyokka nga amazima gagambye nti awatali kyo toyinza kufuna bulamu obutaggwaawo, enjigiriza eyo oteekwa okugikyawa.

Eky’okusatu, oteekwa okukyawa okuteeka kwe ebigere byo mu kkubo eritwala mu buweereza obw’okufa. Era olw’ekyo oteekwa okulowooza ku oyo gwe yakutumako, era n’obutasobola bwa muntu oyo okukununula ku mugugu gwo.

Oyo gwe watumibwako okuwummula, erinnya lye Amateeka, mwana w’omukazi omuddu aliwo kaakano, era ali mu buddu wamu n’abaana be, Abaggalatiya 4:21-27, era mu kyama, ye Lusozi luno Sinaayi, lw’otidde nti lunaakugwira ku mutwe. Kale obanga omukazi oyo n’abaana be bali mu buddu, oyinza otya okusuubira okufuulibwa ow’eddembe ku bo? Amateeka ono, kale, tasobola kukununula ku mugugu gwo. Tewali muntu n’omu yali ayambiddwa ye okuggibwako omugugu gwe; nedda, era tewali agenda kuguggibwako: temuyinza kuweebwa butuukirivu lwa bikolwa bya mateeka; kubanga olw’ebikolwa by’amateeka tewali muntu mulamu ayinza kuggibwako mugugu gwe: Kale Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi mugwira, n’Omwami Amateeka mukumpanya; ate mutabani we Empisa, newaakubadde nga yeemwenyeza, si kirala wabula munnanfuusi, era tasobola kukuyamba. Nzikiriza, mu luyoogaano luno lwonna lw’owulidde ku basajja bano abasirusiru temuli kirala wabula olukwe lw’okukuggyako obulokozi bwo, nga bakuggya mu kkubo lye nnali nkuteekeddemu. Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Omubuulizi n’akoowoola n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka eggulu likakase bye yali ayogedde; amangu ago ne muva ebigambo n’omuliro mu lusozi Omukristaayo omwavu we yali ayimiridde wansi waalwo, ne bimwimusa n’obwoya bw’omubiri gwe. Ebigambo byayogerwa bwe biti: “Naye abo abafugibwa ebikolwa eby’amateeka, bafugibwa kikolimo; kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, Buli ataagobererenga byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo ky’amateeka, akolimiddwa.” Abaggalatiya 3:10.

Awo Omukristaayo n’atasuubira kirala wabula okufa, n’atandika okukaaba ng’akuba ebiwoobe; ng’akolimira n’essaawa gye yasisinkaniramu Omwami Ow’amagezi-g’ensi; ng’abulijjo yeeyita omusirusiru emirundi lukumi olw’okuwuliriza amagezi ge. Era n’akwatibwa ensonyi nnyo okulowooza nti ebigambo by’omwami oyo, ebiva mu mubiri gwokka, byamusobola okutuuka n’okumuleka ekkubo ettuufu. Bwe yamala ekyo, n’addayo eri Omubuulizi n’ebigambo n’amakulu bino wammanga.

Omukristaayo: Ssebo, olowooza otya? Waliwo essuubi lyonna? Kaakano nnyinza okuddayo, ne nnyambuka eri omulyango omufunda? Sirirekebwa olw’ekyo, ne nzirayo okuva eyo nga nswadde? Nnejjusa okuwuliriza amagezi g’omusajja ono; naye ekibi kyange kiyinza okusonyiyibwa?

Omubuulizi: Awo Omubuulizi n’amugamba nti, Ekibi kyo kinene nnyo, kubanga kyakukozesezza ebibi bibiri: olese ekkubo eddungi, n’otambulira mu makubo agagaanibwa. Kyokka omusajja ali ku mulyango ajja kukwaniriza, kubanga alina omwoyo omulungi eri abantu; kyokka, bwe yagamba, weegendereze oleme kukyama nate, “Mukama aleme okukusunguwalira n’okukuzikiriza ng’oli mu kkubo; kubanga obusungu bwe bubuubuuka mangu.” Zabbuli 2:12.
