Kristo, Kabona Asinga Obukulu

‘Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi.’—Yokaana 17:24.

MU kwogera kwe okw’okusiibula, Yesu abikkulira abayigirizwa be mu bujjuvu Obulamu Obuggya bwe bwali bugenda okuba, Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bwe bunaamala okujja n’amaanyi. Mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu okubeera mu bo, mu kwegatta naye, Omuzabbibu ow’omu ggulu, ne mu kugenda kwabwe okumuwa obujulirwa n’okubonaabona ku lulwe, mwe baali bagenda okusanga omulimu gwe baayitirwa n’essanyu lyabwe. Wakati mu kubannyonnyola obulamu bwabwe obuggya obw’omu maaso, Mukama yali abawadde emirundi mingi ebisuubizo ebitaliiko kkomo ku maanyi okusaba kwabwe ge kuyinza okuba nago. Era kaakano ng’akomekkereza, Ye yennyini atandika okusaba. Abayigirizwa be balyoke babe n’essanyu ery’okumanya okwegayiririra kwe ku lwabwe mu ggulu nga Kabona waabwe Asinga Obukulu bwe kunaabanga, abaleka obusika buno obw’omuwendo: okusaba kwe eri Kitaawe. Akola kino era kubanga bo, nga bakabona, balina okugabana naye mu mulimu gwe ogw’okwegayiririra abalala, bo naffe tulyoke tumanye engeri y’okukolamu omulimu guno omutukuvu. Mu kuyigiriza kwa Mukama waffe mu kiro kino ekisembayo, tuyize okutegeera nti ebisuubizo bino eby’ekitalo eby’okusaba tetwabiweebwa ku lwaffe ffekka, wabula ku lwa Mukama n’Obwakabaka bwe: era Mukama yekka gwe tuyinza okuyigirako okusaba mu Linnya lye kye kulina okuba ne kye kulina okufuna. Tutegedde nti okusaba mu Linnya lye kwe kusaba nga tuli bumu naye ddala: okusaba kuno okwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu kujja kutuyigiriza byonna okusaba mu Linnya lya Yesu bye kuyinza okusaba n’okusuubira.

Okusaba kuno kutera okugabanyizibwamu ebitundu bisatu. Mukama waffe asooka kwesabira Yekka (olunyiriri 1-5), n’alyoka asabira abayigirizwa be (6-19), era ku nkomerero n’asabira abantu bonna abakkiriza mu mirembe gyonna (20-26). Omugoberezi wa Yesu eyeewaayo eri omulimu gw’okwegayiririra abalala, era ayagala okugezaako omukisa gw’ayinza okussa ku b’omu kibinja kye ng’asaba mu Linnya lya Yesu, ajja, mu bwetoowaze bwonna, okukkiriza Omwoyo amukulembere okuyiga okusaba kuno okw’ekitalo ng’erimu ku masomo agasinga obukulu mu ssomero ly’okusaba.

Okusookera ddala, Yesu yeesabira Yekka, agulumizibwe, alyoke agulumize Kitaffe. ‘Kitange! Gulumiza Omwana wo. Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza.’ Era aleeta ensonga z’asinziirako okusaba bw’atyo. Endagaano entukuvu yali yakolebwa wakati wa Kitaffe n’Omwana mu ggulu. Kitaffe yali amusuubizza obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna ng’empeera y’omulimu gwe: yali amaze omulimu, yali agulumizizza Kitaffe, era ekigendererwa kye ekimu kaakano kwe kwongera okumugulumiza. N’obuvumu bungi ddala asaba Kitaffe amugulumize, alyoke kaakano abeere era akolere abantu be byonna bye yeetikka.

Muyigirizwa wa Yesu! lino lye ssomo erisooka mu mulimu gwo ogw’obwakabona ogw’okwegayiririra abalala, ly’olina okuyigira ku kyokulabirako kya Kabona wo omukulu Asinga Obukulu. Okusaba mu Linnya lya Yesu kwe kusaba ng’oli bumu naye, ng’owulira nga bw’awulira. Ng’Omwana bwe yatandika okusaba kwe ng’alaga bulungi enkolagana ye ne Kitaffe, ng’aleeta omulimu gwe n’obuwulize bwe n’okwegomba kwe okulaba Kitaffe ng’agulumizibwa, naawe kola bw’otyo. Sembera olabike mu maaso ga Kitaffe mu Kristo. Leeta omulimu gwe ogwaggwa. Gamba nti oli bumu nagwo, nti ogwesiga, nti obeera mu gwo. Gamba nti naawe weewaddeyo okumaliriza omulimu Kitaffe gwe yakuwa okukola, n’okubeerawo olw’ekitiibwa kye yekka. Olwo saba n’obwesige Omwana agulumizibwe mu ggwe. Kuno kwe kusaba mu Linnya, mu bigambo byennyini, mu Mwoyo wa Yesu, ng’oli bumu ne Yesu yennyini. Okusaba okw’engeri eyo kulina amaanyi. Bw’ogulumiza Kitaffe wamu ne Yesu, Kitaffe ajja kugulumiza Yesu ng’akola ky’osaba mu Linnya lye. Olwo lwokka, enkolagana yo ku bubwo ne Katonda ku nsonga eno bw’eba ng’etegeerekeka bulungi nga eya Kristo, bw’oba ng’omugulumiza era ng’onoonya byonna olw’ekitiibwa kye, lw’olifuna, nga Kristo, amaanyi okwegayiririra abo abakwetoolodde.

Oluvannyuma Mukama waffe asabira ekibinja ky’abayigirizwa be. Aboogerako ng’abo Kitaffe be yamuwa. Akabonero kaabwe akakulu kwe kuba nti baakkiriza ekigambo kya Kristo. Agamba nti kaakano abatuma mu nsi mu kifo kye, nga Kitaffe bwe yamutuma Ye. Era abasabira ebintu bibiri: Kitaffe obakuume eri omubi, era abatukuze mu Kigambo kye, kubanga Ye neetukuza ku lwabwe.

Nga Mukama bwe yali, buli mwegayirizi akkiriza alina ekibinja kye ekimuli okumpi ky’asooka okusabira. Abazadde balina abaana baabwe, abasomesa abayizi baabwe, abasumba ebisibo byabwe, buli mukozi abo b’akwasibwa, buli mukkiriza abo b’alumirwa mu mutima. Kikulu nnyo okwegayiririra abalala okubeera okw’omuntu ku bubwe, okutunuulidde ekintu kimu, era okutegeerekeka. Era okusaba kwaffe okusooka kuteekwa bulijjo okuba nti bakkirize ekigambo. Naye okusaba kuno tekujja kugasa okuggyako nga wamu ne Mukama waffe tusobola okugamba nti, ‘Mbawadde ekigambo kyo:’ kino kye kituwa eddembe n’amaanyi mu kwegayiririra emmeeme. Tobasabira kyokka, naye yogera nabo. Era bwe bamala okukkiriza ekigambo, ka tubasabire nnyo bakuumibwe eri omubi, era batukuzibwe mu kigambo ekyo. Mu kifo ky’okuggwaamu essuubi, oba okubasalira omusango, oba okwabulira abo abagwa, ka tusabire ekibinja kyaffe, ‘Kitaffe! Bakuume mu linnya lyo;’ ‘Obatukuze mu mazima.’ Okusaba mu Linnya lya Yesu kubeera n’obuyinza bungi: ‘Buli kye munaayagalanga kinaabakolerwanga.’

Awo ne kuddako okusaba kwa Mukama waffe olw’ekibinja ekisingawo obugazi. ‘Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe.’ Omutima gwe ogw’obwakabona gugaziwa okuzingiramu ebifo byonna n’ebiseera byonna, era asaba bonna ababe babeere bumu buli wamu, ng’obukakafu Katonda bw’awa ensi nti okutumibwa kwe kwava eri Katonda, n’oluvannyuma babeerenga naye bulijjo mu kitiibwa kye. Okutuusa olwo, ‘okwagala kwo kw’onjagala, kulyoke kubeerenga mu bo, era nange mbeere mu bo.’

Omuyigirizwa wa Yesu, amaze okukakasa amaanyi g’okusaba mu kibinja kye, tayinza kusigala munda mu nsalo zaakyo: asabira Ekkanisa yonna n’ebitundu byayo eby’enjawulo. Asabira nnyo obumu obw’Omwoyo n’obw’okwagala. Asaba Ekkanisa ebeere emu mu Kristo, ng’obujulirwa eri ensi nti Kristo, eyakola ekyamagero ekyenkana awo eky’okufuula okwagala okuwangula okwefaako n’okwawukana, ddala ye Mwana wa Katonda eyatumibwa okuva mu ggulu. Buli mukkiriza asaanidde okusaba ennyo obumu bw’Ekkanisa bulabisibwe, si mu bibiina eby’okungulu, wabula mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.

Ebyo bye bikwata ku ekyo ekisabibwa. Kaakano ku ngeri gye kusabibwamu. Yesu agamba nti, ‘KITANGE! NJAGALA.’ Ng’asinziira ku ddembe lye ng’Omwana, ku kisuubizo Kitaffe kye yamuwa, ne ku mulimu gwe ogwaggwa, yali asobola okwogera bw’atyo. Kitaffe yali amugambye nti, ‘Nsaba, nange ndikuwa.’ Yakozesa bukozesa ekisuubizo kya Kitaffe. Yesu atuwadde ekisuubizo ekifaanana bwe kityo: ‘Buli kye munaayagalanga kinaabakolerwanga.’ Ansaba mu Linnya lye njogere kye njagala. Bw’abeera mu Ye, ng’ali bumu naye mu bulamu omuntu mw’aba nga si kintu, Kristo n’aba byonna, omukkiriza alina eddembe okutwala ekigambo ekyo ekya Kabona we Asinga Obukulu, era, ng’addamu ekibuuzo nti ‘Oyagala ki?’ okugamba nti, ‘KITANGE! NJAGALA byonna by’osuubizza.’ Kino si kirala wabula okukkiriza okw’amazima; kuno kwe kussa Katonda ekitiibwa: okukakasa nti obwesige obw’engeri eyo mu kwogera kye njagala bumusanyusa ddala. Mu kusooka, omutima gwaffe gwekanga ekigambo ekyo; tetuwulira nga tulina ddembe newakubadde amaanyi okwogera bwe tutyo. Kigambo ekiweebwa ekisa mu kwewaayo okujjuvu okw’okwagala kwaffe kwokka, naye ekisa ekyo ddala kijja kuweebwa buli muntu afiirwa okwagala kwe mu kwa Mukama we. Oyo afiirwa okwagala kwe alikufuna; oyo awaayo okwagala kwe kwonna alikuddizibwa nga kuzziddwa buggya era nga kunywezeddwa n’Amaanyi ag’Obwakatonda. ‘KITANGE! NJAGALA:’ lino lye ddoboozi ekkulu ery’okwegayiririra kwa Mukama waffe mu ggulu okutaggwaawo, okukola obutayosa, era okuwangula byonna. Okusaba kwaffe kubeera n’obuyinza nga tuli bumu naye mwokka; nga tuli bumu naye kubeera n’obuyinza bungi. Singa tubeera mu Ye, nga tuli balamu, nga tutambula, era nga tukola byonna mu Linnya lye; singa tujja ne tuleeta buli kye tusaba, nga kigezeddwa era nga kikwatiddwako Ekigambo kye n’Omwoyo we, ne tukisuula mu mugga ogw’amaanyi ogw’okwegayiririra ogulinnya okuva gy’ali, kitwalibwe waggulu era kiweebweyo mu maaso ga Kitaffe;—tujja kuba n’obwesige bwonna nti tufuna bye tusaba: ekigambo ‘Kitaffe! Njagala’ kijja kufuuyibwa mu ffe Omwoyo yennyini. Tujja kwebula mu Ye, ne tufuuka busa, ne tuzuula nti mu bunafu bwaffe tulina amaanyi era tuwangula.

Abayigirizwa ba Yesu! Abayitibwa okufaanana Mukama wammwe mu kwegayiririra kwe okw’obwakabona, ddi, ayi ddi! Lwe tulizuukuka ne tulaba ekitiibwa, ekisukkulumye ku kulowooza kwonna, eky’ekigendererwa kyaffe kino eky’okwegayirira Katonda n’okumuwangula ku lw’abantu abazikirira? Ayi, ddi lwe tulyekunkumulako obugayaavu obwekweka mu kifaananyi ky’obwetoowaze, ne twewaayo ddala eri Omwoyo wa Katonda, ajjuze okwagala kwaffe omusana n’amaanyi, tulyoke tumanye, tutwale, era tufune byonna Katonda waffe by’alindirira okuwa okwagala okumunyweza.

‘MUKAMA, TUYIGIRIZE OKUSABA.’

Ayi Kabona wange Asinga Obukulu Omutendereze! nze ani ggwe okumpita bw’otyo okugabana naawe mu maanyi go ag’okwegayiririra okuwangula! Era lwaki, ayi Mukama wange! ndi wa mutima omunafu bwe gutyo okutegeera, n’okukkiriza, n’okukozesa enkizo eno ey’ekitalo gye wanunulira abantu bo. Ayi Mukama! mpa ekisa kyo kino kyeyongere okuba omulimu gw’obulamu bwange obutakoma—okusaba obutayosa nga nsikiriza omukisa gw’eggulu ku byonna ebinneetoolodde ku nsi.

Mukama Omutendereze! Nzize kaakano okukkiriza okuyitibwa kwange kuno. Olw’ekyo ndeka byonna ne nkugoberera. Mu mikono gyo, n’okukkiriza, nkwewaddeyo nzenna: mbumba, ntendeka, nzijuza Omwoyo wo, mbe omu ku ggye lyo ery’okusaba, abameggana abatunula era abafuba mu kusaba, aba Isirayiri, abalangira ba Katonda, abalina amaanyi era abawangula. Twala omutima gwange, ogujjuze okwegomba okumu: ekitiibwa kya Katonda mu kukuŋŋaanya, mu kutukuzibwa, ne mu bumu bw’abo Kitaffe b’akuwadde. Twala ebirowoozo byange era kino kibe kye nsoma era amagezi gange: okumanya okusaba we kuyinza okuleeta omukisa. Ntwala ddala nzenna, ontereeze mbeere kabona, bulijjo okuyimirira mu maaso ga Katonda n’okuwa omukisa mu Linnya lye.

Mukama Omutendereze! Kibeere bwe kityo wano, nga bwe kiri mu bulamu bw’omwoyo bwonna: Ggwe byonna, nze busa. Era wano nange kino nkirabe mu bulamu bwange: oyo atalina era atanoonya kintu kyonna ku lulwe, afuna byonna, okutuuka ne ku kisa eky’ekitalo eky’okugabana naawe mu buweereza bwo obutaggwaawo obw’okwegayiririra abalala. Amiina.
