Okuweesa Obusaale

Omulimu Omutukuvu ogwa Taata

"Abaana aboobulenzi kya bugagga okuva eri Mukama; era abaana mpeera gy’agaba okuva gy’ali. Ng’obusaale bwe bubeera mu mukono gw’omulwanyi, n’abaana abazaalibwa mu buvubuka bw’omuntu bwe bali bwe batyo. Alina omukisa omuntu oyo ajjuzza ensawo ye n’obusaale."

— Zabbuli 127:3–5 Mu birabo byonna Katonda by’awa omusajja, bitono nnyo ebisinga abaana. Era mu buvunaanyizibwa bwonna Katonda bw’awa omusajja, tewali businga kuzitowa ng’obwa kitaawe w’abaana.

Omuwandiisi wa Zabbuli ageraageranya abaana ku busaale mu mukono gw’omulwanyi. Kifaananyi ekyo kifumiitirizeeko bulungi. Akasaale tekakasukibwa awo buli wamu. Kawagalwa, kabajjibwa, kateekebwa ku butaasa, kaluubirizibwa, ne kalekebwa kagende eri ekigendererwa. Omulwanyi asuula obusaale nga talaba gy’abulasa si mulwanyi n’akatono. Taata azaala abaana naye n’atabagunjula, n’atabawagala, n’atabaluubiriza eri ekitiibwa kya Katonda, ali ng’omulwanyi alina ensawo y’obusaale gy’atasobola kukozesa.

Naye amaka gaffe mangi leero gajjudde obusaale obutaweeseddwa! Bakitaabwe baazaala abaana, oluvannyuma okubagunjula ne bakulekera maama, essomero, ekkanisa, ttivi n’enguudo. Amawanga mangi gajjudde abavubuka abatafunangako taata abakuza.

Bamanyi okwewonya, naye tebamanyi kubeera balamu. Bamanyi okutwala, naye tebamanyi kwagala. Balabye obusungu, naye tebalabangako buzirakisa. Bakubiddwa, naye tebasabiddwangako mukisa. Era bakula ne bafuuka ng’abasajja abaabakuza.

Olukoba luno lulina okumenyebwa, era Katonda akuteeka embazzi mu ngalo.

Ekyawandiikibwa ekisookerwako ku bwa taata mu Bayibuli ye Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 6:4–9. Buli taata Omuyudaaya yali akimanyi mu mutwe. Buli taata Omukristaayo naye asaanidde okukimanya mu mutwe. "Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri: Mukama Katonda waffe ali omu. Oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amaanyi go gonna. Amateeka gano ge nkuwa leero ogakwatanga ku mutima gwo. Ogayigirizanga abaana bo n’obwegendereza. Ogoogerengako bw’onoobanga otudde mu maka go, ne bw’onoobanga otambula mu kkubo, bw’onoobanga ogalamiddeko, ne bw’onoobanga ogolokose. Onoogasibanga ku mikono gyo, nga bwe bubonero obw’okukujjukizanga, era ogatekanga ne ku kyenyi kyo. Onoogawandiikanga ku myango gy’ennyumba yo, era ne ku nzigi zo."

Weetegereze bulungi, taata. Nga tonnaba kukwasa baana bo kigambo kya Katonda, kirina okusooka okubeera ku mutima gwo ggwe. Omuntu tayinza kuwa ky’atalina. Bayibuli bw’eba tekugunjula ggwe, tegenda kugunjula baana bo ng’eyita mu ggwe. Guno gwe mulimu ogusooka ogw’obwa taata: ggwe kennyini okubeera omusajja w’Ekigambo.

Oluvannyuma weetegereze ebiseera: bw’oba otudde mu maka go, bw’oba otambula mu kkubo, bw’oba ogalamidde, bw’oba ogolokose. Kwe kugamba, buli kiseera. Obwa taata si mukolo gwa Ssande ku makya. Tebuweebwayo eri omusumba. Gwe mulimu ogusirifu ogwa buli lunaku, ogukolebwa emirundi lukumi, ogw’okuyigiriza abaana bo Katonda y’ani, lwaki yabatonda, kiki ky’ayogedde, n’engeri gye basaanidde okutambulamu. Akawungeezi nga mwetoolodde omuliro. Ku makya ku mmeeza ey’ekyenkya. Mu mmotoka oba nga mutambula okugenda ku ssomero. Mu nnimiro nga mulima wamu. Buli wamu, buli kiseera, obafuula abayigirizwa.

Pawulo awandiikira Abaefeso nti, "Nammwe abazadde, temunyigirizanga baana bammwe, wabula mubakuze nga mubagunjula era nga mubayigiriza ebya Mukama waffe." (Abaefeso 6:4). Kino kirina enjuyi bbiri. Oludda olw’okwewala: tobanyigirizanga. Tobasunguwazanga olw’obukambwe bwo, olw’obutali bwenkanya bwo, olw’obutabeerawo bwo, olw’okusosola kwo, olw’obutamiivu bwo, oba olw’ekiruyi kyo. Bakitaabwe bangi mu buli ggwanga banyigirizza abaana baabwe nga babakuba era nga babavuma, era eno y’emu ku nsonga enkulu lwaki abavubuka bava mu kkanisa. Katonda Kitaffe bamugeraageranya ku kitaabwe ow’oku nsi, era kitaabwe ow’oku nsi bwe yali ow’entiisa, ne Katonda bamudduka. Kino tekisaanidde kubaawo.

Oludda olw’okukola: mubakuze nga mubagunjula era nga mubayigiriza ebya Mukama waffe. Ekigambo "mubagunjula" kitegeeza okukangavvula, okubumba, okukola omuntu: kwe kubumba empisa mu bugenderevu era n’amaanyi. Ekigambo "mubayigiriza" kitegeeza okusomesa, okunnyonnyola n’okulabula. Taata alina okukola byombi. Alina okubayigiriza era alina okubabumba. Era alina okukikola "ebya Mukama waffe": si nga bw’ayagala ye oba ng’obunyiikaavu bwe bwe bumulagira, wabula nga Mukama bw’alagidde.

Okukangavvula kitundu ku kwagala. "Kubanga Mukama gw’ayagala amukangavvula, Era abonereza buli gw’ayita omwana we." (Abaebbulaniya 12:6). Taata atakangavvula baana be tabaagala. Naye okukangavvula si kubatulugunya. Okukangavvula okw’omu Bayibuli kukolebwa mu kwagala, so si mu kiruyi. Kukolebwa olw’obulungi bw’omwana, so si kuwummuza taata. Kugobererwa okuddamu okutabagana, so si bukyayi obulwawo. Bulijjo kugattibwa ku kuyigiriza, omwana alyoke ategeere si kuba nti abonerezebwa kyokka, wabula lwaki ekyo ky’akoze kibi.

Mu mawanga mangi, omuggo n’olukoba bikozesebwa nnyo okumala emirembe n’emirembe. Sigenda kuwakana ku buli nneeyisa ya buwangwa wano, naye kino nkyogera: bakitaabwe bangi baasukka ensalo y’okukangavvula okw’omu Bayibuli ne bayingira mu bukambwe, era abaana baabwe batambudde n’enkovu ezo okutuuka mu bukulu bwabwe. Wulira Ekigambo kya Katonda: "Nammwe bakitaabwe temunyiizanga baana bammwe baleme okuddirira mu mwoyo." (Abakkolosaayi 3:21). Omwana wo bw’akutya okusinga bw’akwagala, waliwo ekikyamu.

Ka nkuwe ebigendererwa ebimu eby’omugaso by’oyinza okuluubiriza abaana bo. Baluubirize eri Kristo. Ekigendererwa ekisooka eky’obwa taata bwe bulokozi bwabwe. Bubasabire buli lunaku. Bayigirize Enjiri emirundi n’emirundi.

Tolowooza nti Bakristaayo olw’okuba baazaalibwa mu maka ag’Ekikristaayo. Buli mwana mukulembere atuuke ku kukkiriza kwe ye kennyini mu Yesu.

Baluubirize n’amagezi. Engero zaawandiikibwa taata, Sulemaani, nga aziwandiikira mutabani we. Musome Engero wamu. Bayigirize okulondawo wakati w’ekkubo ly’omugezi n’ekkubo ly’omusirusiru, wakati w’obunyiikivu n’obugayaavu, wakati w’obulongoofu n’obwenzi, wakati w’okutya Mukama n’obusirusiru bw’omunyoomi.

Baluubirize eri okubeera ab’omugaso. Bayigirize okukola n’emikono gyabwe. Bayigirize okuweereza abalala. Bayigirize okukwata obulungi ensimbi. Bayigirize okubeera abeetoowaze. Bayigirize abaana bo ab’obulenzi engeri y’okuyisaamu abakazi, nga bakulaba nga bw’oyisa maama waabwe. Bayigirize abaana bo ab’obuwala omusajja atya Katonda bw’afaanana, nga bakulaba ggwe bw’oli. Obulamu bwo lwe lukalala lw’essomo. Ebigambo byo bya kubiri.

Baluubirize eri ekkanisa ey’omu kitundu kyammwe. Tobaganya kulaba Bukristaayo ng’ensonga ya maka gokka. Batwale mu kkanisa buli wiiki. Bamanyise abasajja n’abakazi abatya Katonda abayinza okubaluŋŋamya. Bakulabe ng’oweereza, ng’ogaba, ng’osinza, era ng’ogondera abakulembeze abalala. Bwe balaba nga ekkanisa nkulu gy’oli, nabo eriba nkulu gye bali.

Ow’oluganda, lowooza ku kitaawe w’omwana omujaajaamya mu lugero (Lukka 15). Mutabani we omuto bwe yakomawo ng’aswadde era ng’ayambadde enziina, kitaawe yadduka n’amusisinkana, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’amunywegera, n’amuzza mu kifo kye. Ogwo gwe mutima gwa Katonda. Era ogwo gwe mutima taata gw’alina okubeera nagwo. Oluusi abaana baffe banaatunyiizanga. Oluusi banaatumenyanga emitima. Omulimu gwa taata si kubaleka ng’abaggwaako, wabula okutunuulira ekkubo n’amaaso agajjudde essuubi, ng’oli mweteefuteefu okudduka ng’abakyuse okudda eka.

Abaana bo tebaasaba kuzaalibwa. Katonda ye yabakuwa, era lumu alikubuuza kye wabakolera. Si kye wabagulira, wabula kye wazimba mu bo. Si bameka be wazaala, wabula kye baafuuka. Beera taata asaanira okubeera naye. Luubiriza bulungi obusaale bwo. Era lumu, ku bw’ekisa kya Katonda, ensawo yo ejja kujjula obusaale obubuuka ku lw’ekitiibwa kya Katonda.

Okusaba

Kitaffe ali mu ggulu, ggwe Kitaffe, ebika byonna eby’omu ggulu n’eby’oku nsi mwe biggya obulamu. Ompadde abaana ng’kya bugagga era ng’obuvunaanyizibwa.

Nsonyiwa buli lwe nnabadde n’emirimu emingi ennyo, omukambwe ennyo, nga ndi wala nnyo, omusunguwavu ennyo, omusirise ennyo. Nsonyiwa okubanyigiriza mu kifo ky’okubalunda. Mpa ekisa okubafuula abayigirizwa: okusoma Ekigambo kyo nabo, okusaba nabo, okubagolola mu kwagala, n’okubalaga Kristo mu bulamu bwange. Lokola abaana bange, Mukama. Waleme kubaawo n’omu ku bo abula. Nkozesa ng’ekikozesebwa kyo okubabumba babeere obusaale obunaabuuka ewala ne bukuba ekigendererwa eky’ekitiibwa kyo. Mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo, Muganda waffe omukulu, Amiina.
