Kristo, Ssaddaaka

‘N’asaba nti, Aba, Kitange, ebintu byonna bisoboka gy’oli. Nzigyako ekikompe kino. Naye si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula nga ggwe bw’oyagala.’—Makko 14:36.

NG’ENJAWULO ya maanyi mu bbanga ly’essaawa ntono obutono! Nga kukyuka kwa kitalo okuva ku bugulumivu obusirifu obw’ekigambo kiri, n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’atunula eri eggulu, n’ayogera nti, KITANGE NJAGALA,’ okutuuka ku kugwa wansi n’okukaaba mu bulumi obw’amaanyi: ‘Kitange! Si nga Nze bwe njagala.’ Mu kimu tulaba Kabona Asinga Obukulu ng’ali munda w’eggigi mu kwegayiririra abalala kwe okuwangula byonna; mu kirala tulaba ssaddaaka ku kyoto, ng’eggulawo ekkubo eriyita mu ggigi eryayulika. Ekigambo kya Kabona Asinga Obukulu, ‘Kitange! Njagala,’ mu nsengeka y’ebiseera kikulembera ekigambo kya ssaddaaka, ‘Kitange! Si nga Nze bwe njagala;’ naye kino kyali kya kukulembeza bukulembeza, okulaga okwegayiririra abalala bwe kwandibadde nga ssaddaaka emaze okuweebwayo. Mu mazima, okusaba okwo okw’oku kyoto, ‘Kitange! Si nga Nze bwe njagala,’ kwe kwasibukamu okusaba okw’omu maaso g’entebe, ‘Kitange! Njagala,’ era mwe kwaggya amaanyi gaakwo. Mu kwewaayo kwe okujjuvu okw’okwagala kwe mu Gesusemane, Kabona Asinga Obukulu ali ku ntebe mw’aggya obuyinza okusaba ky’ayagala, n’eddembe okugabana obuyinza obwo n’abantu be, nabo basabe kye baagala.

Eri abo bonna abaagala okuyiga okusaba mu ssomero lya Yesu, essomo lino erya Gesusemane lye limu ku masomo agasinga obutukuvu n’omuwendo. Omuyizi atali wa buziba ayinza okulowooza nti limuggyako obuvumu okusaba mu kukkiriza. Obanga n’okwegayirira okw’amaanyi okw’Omwana tekwaddibwamu, obanga n’Omwagalwa yennyini yalina okugamba nti, ‘SI NGA NZE BWE NJAGALA!’ ffe tetwetaaga nnyo n’okusingawo okwogera bwe tutyo? Era bwe kityo kirabika nga tekiyinzika nti ebisuubizo Mukama bye yali awadde essaawa ntono emabega, ‘BULI KYE MUNAASABANGA,’ ‘KYONNA KYE MWAGALA,’ byali bigenderere okutegeerwa nga bwe byogeddwa. Naye okutegeera Gesusemane mu buziba kwanditulaze nti wano wennyini we tusanga omusingi omunywevu n’ekkubo eggule eridda mu bukakafu nti okusaba kwaffe kuliddibwamu. Ka tusembere n’okwewuunya okw’ekitiibwa n’okusinza, tutunuulire ekyewuunyo kino ekinene—Omwana wa Katonda ng’asaba bw’atyo n’okwegayirira nga bw’akaaba amaziga mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, naye n’atafuna ky’asaba. Ye yennyini ye Muyigiriza waffe, era ajja kutubikkulira ekyama kya ssaddaaka ye entukuvu, nga bwe kirabikira mu kusaba kuno okw’ekitalo.

Okusobola okutegeera okusaba kuno, ka twetegereze enjawulo etakoma eri wakati w’ekyo Mukama waffe kye yasaba akaseera katono emabega nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu ow’obwakabaka, n’ekyo ky’asaba wano mu bunafu bwe. Eyo yasaba olw’okugulumizibwa kwa Kitaffe, n’okugulumizibwa kwe ye kennyini n’abantu be, ng’okutuukirizibwa kw’ebisuubizo ebitegeerekeka bye yali aweereddwa. Yasaba ky’amanyi nti kikwatagana n’ekigambo n’okwagala kwa Kitaffe; yali asobola okugamba n’obuvumu nti, ‘KITANGE! NJAGALA.’ Wano asaba ekintu ky’atannategeera bulungi obanga Kitaffe akyagala. Ky’amanyi kye kino nti Kitaffe ayagala anywe ekikompe. Yali abuulidde abayigirizwa be ku kikompe ky’ateekwa okunywa: ate oluvannyuma katono yali agenda kuddamu okugamba nti, ‘Ekikompe Kitange ky’ampadde, siikinywe?’ Kye kyamuleeta ku nsi kuno. Naye mu bulumi bw’emmeeme obutayogerekeka obwamugwako ng’obuyinza bw’ekizikiza bumujjira, n’atandika okulega amatondo agasooka ag’okufa ng’obusungu bwa Katonda ku kibi, obuntu bwe, nga bukankana mu maaso g’amazima ag’entiisa ag’okufuulibwa ekikolimo, bwalaga mu kukaaba kuno okw’ennaku kye bwegomba: obanga ekigendererwa kya Katonda kisobola okutuukirira awatali ekyo, asonyiyibwe ekikompe ekyo eky’entiisa: ‘Leka ekikompe kino kinzigibweko.’ Okwegomba okwo kwe kwali obujulirwa bw’obuntu bwe obwa ddala ennyo. ‘Si nga Nze bwe njagala’ kwe kwaziyiza okwegomba okwo okufuuka ekibi: bw’akaaba ng’asaba nti, ‘Ebintu byonna bisoboka gy’oli,’ n’addamu okusaba n’amaanyi agasingawo ekikompe kimuggibweko, ‘SI NGA NZE BWE NJAGALA’ kwe yaddiŋŋana emirundi esatu, kwe kukola obuziba n’omuwendo gwa ssaddaaka ye. Yali asabye ekintu ky’atayinza kugamba nti: Mmanyi nti ky’oyagala. Yali yeesigamye ku buyinza n’okwagala kwa Katonda, n’oluvannyuma n’abiwaayo mu kigambo kye ekisembayo, ‘KY’OYAGALA KYE KIBA KIKOLEBWA.’ Okusaba ekikompe kiveewo tekwaddibwamu; naye okusaba okw’okwewaayo, Katonda by’ayagala bikolebwe, kwawulirwa, era ne kuddibwamu mu kitiibwa mu buwanguzi bwe, okusooka ku kutya, n’oluvannyuma ku buyinza bw’okufa.

Mu kwegaana kuno okw’okwagala kwe, mu kwewaayo kuno okujjuvu okw’okwagala kwe eri okwagala kwa Kitaffe, obuwulize bwa Kristo mwe bwatuukira ku ntikko yaabwo ey’okutuukirira. Ssaddaaka y’okwagala mu Gesusemane y’ewa ssaddaaka y’obulamu ku Kiwanga omuwendo gwayo. Wano, nga Ebyawandiikibwa bwe bigamba, yayiga okumugondera, n’afuuka obulokozi obutaggwaawo eri abo bonna abagondera Katonda. Kubanga eyo, mu kusaba okwo, yeewaayo n’aba muwulize n’okutuukira ddala ku kufa, ate okufa okw’okukomererwa ku musaalaba, Katonda kyeyava amugulumiza, n’amuwa obuyinza okusaba ky’ayagala. Mu ‘Kitange! Si nga Nze bwe njagala,’ mwe yafunira obuyinza obw’ekigambo kiri ekirala, ‘KITANGE! Njagala.’ Olw’okukkiriza kwa Kristo mu Gesusemane obutakolebwa ky’ayagala, kwe yafunira abantu be eddembe ery’okubagamba nti, ‘Musabe kyonna kye mwagala.’

Ka nzireyo nzitunuulire, ebyama ebyo eby’ebuziba Gesusemane by’endaga. Ekisooka kye kino: Kitaffe awa Omwagalwa we ekikompe, ekikompe eky’obusungu. Eky’okubiri: Omwana, bulijjo omuwulize bw’atyo, adda emabega, era yeegayirira aleme kukinywa. Eky’okusatu: Kitaffe tamuwa Mwana kye yeegayirira, wabula akyamuwa ekikompe. N’ekisembayo: Omwana awaayo okwagala kwe, n’amatira okwagala kwe obutakolebwa, n’afuluma n’agenda ku Kiwanga okunywa ekikompe. Ayi Gesusemane! mu ggwe mwe ndabira engeri Mukama wange gye yasobola okumpa obukakafu obutaliiko kkomo nti okusaba kwange kuliddibwamu. Ng’omweyimirizi wange, yakimpangulira, bwe yakkiriza okwegayirira kwe obutaddibwamu.

Kino kikwatagana n’enteekateeka yonna ey’obununuzi. Mukama waffe bulijjo atuwanguzaako ekikontana n’ekyo kye yabonaabona nakyo. Yasibibwa ffe tulyoke tubeere ba ddembe. Yafuuka ekibi ku lwaffe, tulyoke tufune obutuukirivu obuva eri Katonda. Yafa ffe tulyoke tubeere abalamu. Yeetikka ekikolimo kya Katonda, omukisa gwa Katonda gulyoke gubeere gwaffe. Yagumiikiriza okusaba kwe obutaddibwamu, okusaba kwaffe kulyoke kuddibwemu. Weewaawo, yayogera nti, ‘Si nga Nze bwe njagala,’ alyoke atugambe nti, ‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze, musabe kyonna kye mwagala; kinaabakolerwanga.’

Weewaawo, ‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze;’ wano mu Gesusemane ekigambo ekyo kifuna amaanyi n’obuziba obuggya. Kristo ye Mutwe gwaffe, ng’omweyimirizi ayimirira mu kifo kyaffe, n’asitula ekyo kye twandisitudde emirembe n’emirembe. Twali tusaanidde Katonda atuggalire amatu ge, aleme kuwulira kukaaba kwaffe. Kristo ajja, era n’ekyo akibonaabona ku lwaffe: abonaabona ekyo kye twali tusaanira; olw’ebibi byaffe abonaabona wansi w’omugugu gw’okusaba okwo okutaddibwamu. Naye kaakano okubonaabona kwe okwo kunkolera: ekyo kye yasitula kinziggiddwako; obulungi bwe bumpanguliddeyo okuddibwamu kwa buli kusaba, bwe mbeera mu Ye.

Weewaawo, mu Ye, nga bw’akutama eyo mu Gesusemane, mwe nteekwa okubeera. Nga Omutwe gwange, teyakoma ku kubonaabona omulundi gumu ku lwange, naye abeera mu nze bulijjo, ng’afuuyira mu nze era ng’akolera mu nze endowooza ye yennyini. Omwoyo ataggwaawo, Kristo gwe yayitamu bwe yeewaayo ye yennyini eri Katonda, y’oyo Omwoyo abeera ne mu nze, era amfuula omugabani mu buwulize bwe bumu obwo, ne mu ssaddaaka y’okwagala eri Katonda. Omwoyo oyo anjigiriza okuwaayo okwagala kwange kwonna eri okwagala kwa Kitaffe, okukuwaayo okutuukira ddala ku kufa, okukufiira mu Kristo. Buli kirowoozo kyange, buli ndowooza yange, buli kye njagala nze, ne bwe kiba nga si kibi butereevu, anjigiriza okukitya n’okukidduka. Aggula okutu kwange okulindirira n’obukkakkamu bungi n’emmeeme eyagala okuyigirizibwa, ekyo Kitaffe ky’alina okwogera n’okuyigiriza buli lunaku. Andaga nti okwegatta n’okwagala kwa Katonda, nga nkwagala, kwe kwegatta ne Katonda yennyini; nti okwewaayo okujjuvu eri okwagala kwa Katonda kye Kitaffe ky’asaba gye tuli, kye kyokulabirako ky’Omwana, era kye kisanyusa eky’amazima eky’emmeeme. Akulembera okwagala kwange mu kussa ekimu n’okufa n’okuzuukira kwa Kristo; okwagala kwange kufiira mu Ye, kulyoke kuddemu okufuulibwa omulamu mu Ye. Akufuuyira, ng’okwagala okuzziddwa obuggya era okuzuukiziddwa, okutegeera okutukuvu okw’okwagala kwa Katonda okutuukiridde, essanyu ettukuvu ery’okwewaayo okuba ekivuga ky’okwagala okwo, n’eddembe ettukuvu n’amaanyi okukwata ku kwagala kwa Katonda okuddamu okusaba. N’okwagala kwange kwonna njiga okubeera omulamu olw’ebyo Katonda by’afaako n’obwakabaka bwe, okukozesa amaanyi g’okwagala okwo—okwakomererwa naye ne kuzuukira—mu butonde ne mu kusaba, ku nsi ne mu ggulu, eri abantu n’eri Katonda. Gye nkoma okuyingira ennyo mu ‘KITANGE! SI NGA NZE BWE NJAGALA’ okw’omu Gesusemane, ne mu Ye eyakyogera, okubeera mu Ye, gye nkoma okufuna ekkubo ery’omwoyo erijjudde eriyingira mu buyinza bwa ‘KITANGE! NJAGALA kwe. Era emmeeme ekizuula nti okwagala okwafuuka obutaliimu, Katonda by’ayagala bibeere byonna, kwe kufuna kaakano amaanyi ag’obwakatonda okwagala ddala Katonda by’ayagala, n’okusaba ekyo ekikusuubiziddwa mu linnya lya Kristo.

Ayi, ka tuwulirize Kristo mu Gesusemane, ng’ayita nti, ‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze, musabe kyonna kye mwagala, era kinaabakolerwanga.’ Okuba n’endowooza emu n’omwoyo gumu naye mu kuwaayo kwe buli kimu eri Katonda by’ayagala, okubeera omulamu nga Ye mu buwulize ne mu kwewaayo eri Kitaffe; kuno kwe kubeera mu Ye; kino kye kyama ky’amaanyi mu kusaba.

‘MUKAMA, TUYIGIRIZE OKUSABA.’

Mukama Yesu Omutendereze! Gesusemane lye lyali essomero lyo, gye wayigira okusaba n’okugondera. Likyali essomero lyo, gy’okulembera abayigirizwa bo bonna abeegomba okuyiga okugondera n’okusaba nga ggwe. Mukama! njigiriza eyo okusaba, mu kukkiriza nti wakola okutangirira olw’okwagala kwaffe okw’obwannakyemalira era n’okuwangula, era nti osobola ddala okutuwa ekisa okusaba nga ggwe.

Ayi Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda! Njagala okukugoberera e Gesusemane, eyo nfuuke omu naawe, mbeere mu ggwe nga bw’owaayo okwagala kwo eri Kitaffe okutuukira ddala ku kufa. Wamu naawe, nga mpita mu ggwe, nga ndi mu ggwe, mpaayo okwagala kwange mu kwewaayo okujjuvu era okutaliiko kye kulekayo eri okwagala kwa Kitaffe. Nga mmanyi obunafu bwange, n’amaanyi ag’ekyama okwagala okw’obwannakyemalira ge kwandikozesezza okwekakasa n’okuddamu okutuula ku ntebe, nsaba mu kukkiriza amaanyi g’obuwanguzi bwo. Wakuwangula era n’onnunula okuva mu kwo. Mu kufa kwo njagala okubeera omulamu buli lunaku; mu bulamu bwo njagala okufa buli lunaku. Nga mbeera mu ggwe, okwagala kwange, olw’amaanyi g’Omwoyo wo ataggwaawo, kubeere kyokka ekivuga ekitegekeddwa obulungi ekiwulira buli kukwatibwako kw’okwagala kwa Katonda wange. N’emmeeme yange yonna njogera wamu naawe era mu ggwe nti, ‘Kitange! Si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula nga ggwe bw’oyagala.’

Era oluvannyuma, Mukama Omutendereze! Ggula omutima gwange n’emitima gy’abantu bo bonna, gikkirize mu bujjuvu ekitiibwa ky’amazima gano: nti okwagala okuweereddwayo eri Katonda kwe kwagala Katonda kw’akkiriza okukozesa mu buweereza bwe, okwegomba, okuteekateeka, okusalawo, n’okwagala ebyo ebikwatagana n’okwagala kwa Katonda. Okwagala okwo, mu maanyi g’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Katonda abeera munda, kwe kulina okukozesa obuyinza bwakwo obw’obwakabaka mu kusaba, okusumulula n’okusiba mu ggulu ne ku nsi, okusaba kyonna kye kwagala, n’okugamba nti kinaakolebwa.

Ayi Mukama Yesu! njigiriza okusaba. Amiina.
