George Müller, n’Ekyama ky’Amaanyi ge mu Kusaba

KATONDA bw’ayagala okuyigiriza Ekkanisa ye omulundi omulala amazima agatategeerwa oba agatakolerwako, emirundi egisinga akikola ng’ayimusa omuntu okubeera, mu kigambo ne mu bikolwa, omujulirwa omulamu ow’omukisa amazima ago gwe galeeta. Bw’atyo Katonda, mu kyasa kino eky’ekkumi n’omwenda, yayimusa, mu balala, George Muller okubeera omujulirwa we nti ddala Ye Muwulizi w’okusaba. Simanyi kkubo lyonna amazima amakulu ag’ekigambo kya Katonda agakwata ku kusaba mwe gayinza okulagibwa n’okunywezebwa obulungi okusinga okwetegereza mu bufunze obulamu bwe n’ebyo by’atubuulira ku bye yayitamu mu kusaba.

Yazaalibwa mu Prussia nga 25 Ssebutemba 1805, n’olwekyo kati alina emyaka kinaana. Obulamu bwe obw’omu buto, ne bwe yamala okuyingira Yunivasite y’e Halle ng’omuyizi w’eby’eddiini, bwali bubi nnyo ddala. Lumu akawungeezi, ng’alina emyaka abiri gyokka, mukwano gwe yamutwala mu lukuŋŋaana lw’okusaba; n’akwatibwako nnyo, era amangu ddala oluvannyuma n’atuusibwa okumanya Omulokozi. Waayita akaseera katono n’atandika okusoma empapula z’abaminsani, era ekiseera bwe kyayitawo ne yeewaayo eri Ekibiina ky’e London ekyali kitumbula Obukristaayo mu Bayudaaya. Yakkirizibwa ng’omuyizi, naye amangu ddala n’akizuula nti teyasobola kugondera mu buli kimu amateeka g’Ekibiina, kubanga gaali galeka eddembe ttono nnyo eri okukulembera kw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Enkolagana eyo yakomezebwa mu 1830 nga bombi bakkiriziganyizza, n’afuuka omusumba w’ekibiina ekitono e Teignmouth. Mu 1832 yaluŋŋamizibwa okugenda e Bristol, era bwe yali omusumba w’Ekkanisa ya Bethesda mwe yaluŋŋamizibwa okutandika Ennyumba ya Bamulekwa n’emirimu emirala, era mu mirimu egyo Katonda yamukulembera mu ngeri ey’ekitalo okwesiga ekigambo kye n’okulaba Katonda bw’atuukiriza ekigambo ekyo.

Ebigambo ebitonotono ebikwata ku bulamu bwe obw’omwoyo bijja kututeekerateekera ekkubo eri ebyo bye twagala ennyo okujuliza ku bye yayitamu mu kusaba.

‘Ku nsonga eno njagala okwogera nti Mukama, mu kisa kye ekingi, yampa okuva ku ntandikwa ddala ey’obulamu bwange obw’omwoyo, ekigera ky’obwangu n’embala ey’omwana omuto mu by’omwoyo, ne kiba nti newaakubadde nga nnali sirina kye mmanyi nnyo mu Byawandiikibwa, era nga n’ebiseera ebimu nnali nkyawangulwa n’ebibi eby’okungulu, kyokka nnasobozesebwanga okutwala n’ensonga ezisinga obutono eri Mukama mu kusaba. Era nkizudde nti “okutya Katonda kugasa mu byonna, kubanga kuleeta essuubi ery’omu bulamu buno era n’ery’obwo obugenda okujja.” Newaakubadde nga nnali munafu nnyo era nga sirina kye mmanyi, kyokka kaakano, olw’ekisa kya Katonda, nnalina okwagala okugasa abalala, era oyo eyali aweerezza Setaani n’obwesigwa obwenkanidde awo, kaakano yali anoonya okuwangulira Kristo emyoyo.’

E Teignmouth gye yayigira okumanya engeri y’okukozesaamu ekigambo kya Katonda, n’okwesiga Omwoyo Omutukuvu ng’Omuyigiriza Katonda gwe yawa okutangaaza ekigambo ekyo. Awandiika nti:—

‘Awo Katonda n’atandika okundaga nti ekigambo kya Katonda kyokka kye kipimo kyaffe eky’okusalirako ensonga mu by’omwoyo; nti kiyinza okunnyonnyolwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu yekka; era nti mu mirembe gyaffe, nga bwe kyali mu biseera eby’edda. Ye Muyigiriza w’abantu be. Omulimu gw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu nnali sinnagutegeera mu bumanyirivu okutuuka mu kiseera ekyo.

‘Okutandika okutegeera ensonga eno esembayo naddala kwe kwankolamu ennyo; kubanga Mukama yansobozesa okugigezesa mu bumanyirivu, nga ndeka ebitabo ebinnyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa, n’ebitabo ebirala kumpi byonna, ne nsoma ekigambo kya Katonda kyokka n’okukyekenneenya.

‘Ekyavaamu kwe kuba nti akawungeezi akasooka bwe nneggalira mu kisenge kyange, okwewaayo eri okusaba n’okufumiitiriza ku Byawandiikibwa, nnayiga bingi mu ssaawa ntono okusinga bye nnali nyize mu kiseera eky’emyezi egiwerako emabega.

‘Naye enjawulo enkulu yali nti nnafuna amaanyi ag’amazima eri emmeeme yange mu kukola bwe ntyo. Kaakano ne ntandika okugezesa n’ekipimo ky’Ebyawandiikibwa ebintu bye nnali nyize ne bye nnali ndabye, ne nkizuula nti emisingi gyokka egyayita mu kugezesebwa okwo gye gyali egy’omuwendo ddala.’

Ku kugondera ekigambo kya Katonda, awandiika bw’ati, ng’ayogera ku kubatizibwa kwe:—

‘Katonda, mu kusaasira kwe okungi, kyamusanyusa okuleeta ebirowoozo byange mu mbeera nga njagala okutuukiriza mu bulamu bwange buli kye nnandisanze mu Byawandiikibwa. Nnasobola okugamba nti, “Njagala okukola Katonda by’ayagala,” era olw’ensonga eyo, bwe ndowooza, kyennava ntegeera “bye njigiriza nga bya Katonda.”—Era wano njagala okulaga, mu kuyitamu, nti ekyawandiikibwa kye mmaze okwogerako (Yokaana 7:17) kibadde gye ndi ekinnyonnyola eky’ekitalo ennyo ku njigiriza nnyingi n’ebiragiro bingi eby’okukkiriza kwaffe okutukuvu ennyo. Ng’ekyokulabirako: “Temuwakananga na mubi, naye omuntu bw’akukubanga oluyi ku ttama erya ddyo omukyusizanga n’ettama eryokubiri. Omuntu bw’ayagalanga okuwoza naawe atwale essaati yo, omulekeranga n’ekkooti yo. N’oyo akuwalirizanga okumwetikkirako omugugu gwe kilomita emu, omutwalirangako n’eyokubiri. Akusaba omuwanga, n’oyo ayagala okukwewolako tomukubanga mabega. Mwagalenga abalabe bammwe! Musabirenga omukisa ababakolimira, mukolenga ebirungi abo ababakyawa n’abo ababakozesa obubi. Musabirenga ababayigganya!” (Matayo 5:39-44). “Mutunde ebintu byammwe, ensimbi ze muggyamu muzigabire abo abeetaaga”(Lukka 12:33). “Temubeeranga na bbanja lyonna eri omuntu yenna, wabula okwagalananga”(Abaruumi 12:8). Omuntu ayinza okugamba nti, “Mazima ebyawandiikibwa bino tebiyinza kutwalibwa nga bwe biri, kubanga olwo abantu ba Katonda bandiyise batya mu nsi?” Embeera y’ebirowoozo eyogerwako mu Yokaana 7:17 ejja kumalawo okuwakanya ng’okwo. BULI AYAGALA OKUTUUKIRIZA ebiragiro bino ebya Mukama NGA BWE BIRI, ajja, bwe ndowooza, okuluŋŋamizibwa wamu nange okulaba nti okubitwala NGA BWE BIRI kye Katonda ky’ayagala.—Abo ababitwala bwe batyo tebaabure kutuuka mu bizibu ebizitoowerera omubiri, naye ebyo bijja kubayamba okuwulira buli kiseera nti bagenyi era batambuze wano, nti ensi eno si waabwe, era bwe batyo binaabasindika okwesigama ennyo ku Katonda, oyo ddala alituyamba okuyita mu buli kizibu kye tuyinza okutuukamu nga tunoonya okugondera ekigambo kye.’

Okwewaayo kuno okw’omu bujjuvu eri ekigambo kya Katonda kwamutuusa ku ndowooza n’enneeyisa ezimu ku bikwata ku ssente, ezaakwata ennyo ku bulamu bwe obwaddirira. Zaali zisibuka mu kukkiriza okunywevu nti ssente buwanika Katonda bw’akwasa omuntu, era nti ssente zonna kyezaava zaali zirina okufunibwa n’okugabibwa mu kukolagana obutereevu ne Katonda yennyini. Kino kyamutuusa ku kwetemera amateeka gano amanene ana: 1. Obutakkiriza musaala gwonna mugereke, kubanga mu kugukuŋŋaanya emirundi mingi mwalimu ebintu bingi ebikontana n’ebirabo ebiweebwayo kyeyagalire, ebyo obuweereza bwa Katonda bwe bulina okulabirirwamu, era mu kugufuna mwalimu akabi ak’okwesigama ennyo ku nsonda z’abantu ez’ensimbi okusinga ku Katonda omulamu yennyini. 2. Obutasaba muntu yenna buyambi, ne bwe bwetaavu bwandibadde bunene butya, wabula okumanyisa ebyetaago bye eri Katonda eyasuubiza okulabirira abaddu be n’okuwulira okusaba kwabwe. 3. Okutwala ekiragiro kino (Lukka 12:33) nga bwe kiri, ‘Mutunde ebintu byammwe, ensimbi ze muggyamu muzigabire abo abeetaaga,’ n’obutatereka ssente, wabula okukozesa byonna Katonda bye yamukwasa ku baavu ba Katonda, ku mulimu gw’obwakabaka bwe. 4. Era okutwala Abaruumi 13:8, ‘Temubeeranga na bbanja lyonna eri omuntu yenna,’ nga bwe kiri, n’obutagula kintu kyonna ku bbanja, wadde okubeera n’ebbanja ery’ekintu kyonna, wabula okwesiga Katonda nti y’alimuwa.

Engeri eno ey’okubeera mu bulamu teyali nnyangu ku ntandikwa. Naye Muller ategeeza nti yaleeta omukisa mungi nnyo mu kuleeta emmeeme okuwummulira mu Katonda, n’okugisembeza okumpi ennyo naye, bwe yabanga etandise okuseerera okudda emabega. ‘Kubanga tekisoboka, tekiyinzika, okubeera mu kibi, era mu kiseera kye kimu, olw’okussa ekimu ne Katonda, okuggya mu ggulu buli kintu omuntu ky’ayetaaga mu bulamu buno.’

Teyamala bbanga ddene ng’amaze okusenga e Bristol, ‘EKITONGOLE EKY’OKUMANYISA EBYAWANDIIKIBWA MU NSI MUNO NE MU NSI ENDALA’ ne kitandikibwawo okuyamba amasomero ag’emisana n’aga Ssande, omulimu gw’obuminsani n’ogwa Bayibuli. Omulimu gw’Ennyumba ya Bamulekwa, Omwami Muller gw’asinga okumanyibwako, gwafuuka ettabi ly’Ekitongole kino. Mu 1834 omutima gwe gwakwatibwako embeera y’omwana mulekwa eyali aleeteddwa eri Kristo mu limu ku masomero, naye eyali alina okugenda mu nnyumba y’abaavu, ebyetaago bye eby’omwoyo gye bitandirabiriddwa. Bwe yasanga mangu oluvannyuma ekitabo ky’obulamu bwa Franke, awandiika (Noov. 20, 1835): ‘Leero kinzitoowerera nnyo ku mutima obutaddamu kulowooza bulowooza ku kutandikawo Ennyumba ya Bamulekwa, wabula okugitandika ddala, era mbadde nnyo mu kusaba ku nsonga eyo, nsobole okutegeera Mukama ky’ayagala. Katonda akinnyonnyole.’ Era nate, Noov. 25: ‘Jjo ne leero mbadde nate nnyo mu kusaba ku Nnyumba ya Bamulekwa, era nneeyongera okukakasa nti eva eri Katonda. Ankulembere mu kusaasira kwe. Ensonga enkulu essatu ze zino—1. Katonda agulumizibwe, bw’aliba asiimye okumpa ebyetaagisa, mu kulabika nti si kya bwereere okumwesiga; era nti bwe kityo okukkiriza kw’abaana be kunywezebwe. 2. Obulungi obw’omwoyo obw’abaana abatalina kitaabwe wadde nnyaabwe. 3. Obulungi bwabwe obw’omubiri.’

Oluvannyuma lw’emyezi egiwerako egy’okusaba n’okulindirira Katonda, ennyumba yapangisibwa, ng’erimu ebbanga ly’abaana amakumi asatu, era mu kiseera ekyaddirira endala ssatu, nga zonna awamu zirimu abaana 120. Omulimu gwagenda mu maaso bwe gutyo okumala emyaka kkumi, ebyetaago bya bamulekwa nga bisabibwa era nga bifunibwa okuva eri Katonda yekka. Emirundi mingi kyabanga kiseera kya bwetaavu bungi n’okusaba kungi, naye okugezesebwa kw’okukkiriza, okw’omuwendo mungi okusinga zaabu, kwalabika nga kusaanira ettendo n’ekitiibwa n’okugulumizibwa kwa Katonda. Mukama yali ateekateeka omuddu we olw’ebintu ebisinga obunene. Mu kulabirira kwe ne mu Mwoyo we Omutukuvu, Omwami Muller yaluŋŋamizibwa okwegomba, n’okulindirira Katonda okutuusa lwe yafuna okuva gy’ali, ekisuubizo ekikakafu ekya £15,000 olw’Ennyumba ey’okusulamu abaana 300. Ennyumba eno eyasooka yaggulwawo mu 1849. Mu 1858, Ennyumba ey’okubiri n’ey’okusatu, ez’abaana bamulekwa abalala 950, zaggulwawo, nga zaagula £35,000. Era mu 1869 ne 1870, Ennyumba ey’okuna n’ey’okutaano, ez’abalala 850, ku nsimbi £50,000, ne kituusa omuwendo gwa bamulekwa gwonna ku 2100.

Ng’oggyeko omulimu guno, Katonda amuwadde kumpi ensimbi zenkana ezo ez’okuzimba Ennyumba za Bamulekwa n’okulabirira bamulekwa, olw’emirimu emirala: okuyamba amasomero n’obuminsani, n’okubunyisa Bayibuli n’obutabo. Byonna awamu by’afunye okuva eri Katonda, okukozesebwa mu mulimu gwe, mu myaka gino amakumi ataano, bisukka mu kakadde kamu aka pawundi. Twetegereze n’obwegendereza nti, bwe yalekayo omusaala gwe omutono ogwa £35 buli mwaka olw’okugondera okukulembera kw’ekigambo kya Katonda n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, yali tamanyi n’akatono Katonda kye yali amutegekera okumuwa ng’empeera y’obuwulize n’okukkiriza; wadde engeri ey’ekitalo ekigambo gye kyali kigenda okutuukirizibwa gy’ali: ‘obadde mwesigwa mu bintu ebitono, ndikusigira ebintu ebingi.’

Era ebintu bino byabaawo ng’ekyokulabirako gye tuli. Katonda atuyita okulabira ku George Muller, nga ye bw’alabira ku Kristo. Katonda we ye Katonda waffe; ebisuubizo bye bimu bya ffe; obuweereza bwe bumu obw’okwagala n’okukkiriza mwe yateganira butuyita ku buli ludda. Wamu n’ebyo bye tuyiga mu ssomero ly’okusaba, ka twekenneenye engeri Katonda gye yawaamu George Muller amaanyi ag’enkukunala bwe gatyo ng’omuntu ow’okusaba: tujja kusangamu ekyokulabirako ekisinga okwewuunyisa eky’ebimu ku bye tubadde tuyiga awamu n’Omusomesa omutendereze mu kigambo. Naddala tujja kukwatibwako nnyo eky’okuyiga kye ekinene ekisooka, nti bwe tunajja gy’ali mu kkubo ly’alaze, n’okusaba okulambulukufu, Omwoyo kw’atumanyisa okuyita mu kigambo nti kutuukana n’okwagala kwa Katonda, tuyinza okukkiriza n’obuvumu bwonna nti buli kye tunaasabanga kinaatukolerwanga.

OKUSABA N’EKIGAMBO KYA KATONDA.

Tulabye emirundi egisukka mu gumu nti Katonda okuwulira eddoboozi lyaffe kisinziira ku ffe okuwulira eddoboozi lye. (Laba Amasomo 22 ne 23.) Tetulina kubeera na kisuubizo kya njawulo kye tusinziirako kyokka bwe tusaba ekintu eky’enjawulo, wabula obulamu bwaffe bwonna bulina okubeera wansi w’obufuzi bw’ekigambo: ekigambo kirina okubeera nga kituula mu ffe. Obujulirwa bwa George Muller ku nsonga eno bulimu okuyiga kungi. Atubuulira engeri okuzuula ekifo ekituufu eky’ekigambo kya Katonda, n’okuyigiriza kw’Omwoyo wamu nakyo, gye kwali entandikwa y’omulembe omuggya mu bulamu bwe obw’omwoyo. Ku kino awandiika nti:—

‘Kale engeri y’okulowooza egoberera Ebyawandiikibwa yandibadde eno: Katonda yennyini yeetoowaza n’afuuka omuwandiisi w’ekitabo, era nze sirina kye mmanyi ku kitabo ekyo eky’omuwendo Omwoyo we Omutukuvu kye yawandiisa ng’ayita mu baddu be, era kirimu ebyo bye nteekwa okumanya, era okubimanya kujja kuntuusa ku ssanyu ery’amazima; n’olwekyo nteekwa okusoma emirundi n’emirundi ekitabo kino eky’omuwendo ennyo, ekitabo ekisinga ebitabo byonna, n’obunyiikivu bungi, n’okusaba kungi, n’okufumiitiriza kungi; era mu kino nteekwa okweyongerangamu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange. Kubanga nnali mmanyi, newaakubadde nga nnakisomangamu kitono, nti kumpi sirina kye mmanyi ku kyo. Naye mu kifo ky’okukola bwe ntyo, obutamanya bwange obw’ekigambo kya Katonda ne bunsindika okukyekenneenya ennyo, obuzibu bwe nnalina mu kukitegeera, n’essanyu ettono lye nnafunanga mu kyo, byandeetera obutafaayo kukisoma (kubanga okusoma ekigambo ennyo nga tusaba tekuleeta kumanya kungi kwokka, wabula kwongera n’essanyu lye tufuna mu kukisoma); era bwe ntyo, ng’abakkiriza bangi, mu bikolwa nnasinza, mu myaka ena egyasooka egy’obulamu bwange obw’omwoyo, ebitabo by’abantu abataaluŋŋamizibwa okusinga ebigambo bya Katonda omulamu. Ekyavaamu kwe kusigala nga ndi muwere, mu kumanya ne mu kisa. Mu kumanya, bwe njogera; kubanga okumanya kwonna okw’amazima kuteekwa okuva mu kigambo, nga kuleetebwa Omwoyo. Era bwe nnalagajjalira ekigambo, nnamala kumpi emyaka ena nga sirina kye mmanyi, ne kiba nti nnali simanyi bulungi wadde ensonga ez’omusingi ez’okukkiriza kwaffe okutukuvu. Era obutamanya buno bwanziza emabega mu ngeri ey’ennaku ennyo obutatambulira butereevu mu makubo ga Katonda. Kubanga Mukama bwe yasiima mu Agusito 1829 okuntuusa ddala ku Byawandiikibwa, obulamu bwange n’entambula yange byafuuka bya njawulo nnyo. Era newaakubadde nga okuva olwo nsigadde nnyo emabega w’ekyo kye nnandibadde era kye nteekwa okubeera, kyokka olw’ekisa kya Katonda nsobozeseddwa okubeera mu bulamu obumusemberera ennyo okusinga bwe kyali edda. Abakkiriza bwe banaasoma kino abasinza ebitabo ebirala okusinga Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu, era abanyumirwa ennyo ebiwandiiko by’abantu okusinga ekigambo kya Katonda, balabulwe olw’okufiirwa kwange. Nja kulowooza nti ekitabo kino kibadde ekkubo ery’okukola obulungi bungi, Mukama bw’anaasiima, okuyita mu kyo, okuluŋŋamya abamu ku bantu be obutaddamu kulagajjalira Byawandiikibwa Bitukuvu, wabula okubiwa ekifo ekisooka ekyo kye babadde bawa ebiwandiiko by’abantu.

‘Nga sinnaleka nsonga eno, njagala kwongerako kino kyokka: Omusomi bw’aba ategeera kitono nnyo ku kigambo kya Katonda, ateekwa okukisoma ennyo; kubanga Omwoyo annyonnyola ekigambo ng’akozesa ekigambo. Era bw’aba anyumirwa kitono okusoma ekigambo, eyo yennyini y’ensonga lwaki asaanidde okukisoma ennyo; kubanga okusoma Ebyawandiikibwa emirundi mingi kuleeta essanyu mu byo, ne kiba nti gye tukoma okubisoma, gye tukoma okwagala okubisoma.

‘Okusinga byonna, asaanidde okunoonya okukakasa mu birowoozo bye nti Katonda yekka, ng’ayita mu Mwoyo we, y’ayinza okumuyigiriza, era nti n’olwekyo, nga Katonda bw’ayagala okusabibwa emikisa, kimugwanira okunoonya omukisa gwa Katonda nga tannaba kusoma, era ne bw’aba ng’asoma.

‘Era asaanidde okukakasa mu birowoozo bye nti newaakubadde nga Omwoyo Omutukuvu ye Muyigiriza asinga era amala, naye Omuyigiriza oyo tayigiriza buli kiseera mangu ddala bwe tukyagala, era nti n’olwekyo tuyinza okwetaaga okumwegayirira emirundi n’emirundi atunnyonnyole ebitundu ebimu; naye nti ku nkomerero ddala ajja kutuyigiriza, bwe tuba nga ddala tunoonya ekitangaala nga tusaba, nga tugumiikiriza, era nga tugenderera ekitiibwa kya Katonda.’

Mu bitabo bye eby’olunaku ku lunaku tusangamu emirundi mingi ng’ayogera ku ssaawa bbiri n’essatu ze yamalanga mu kusaba ng’asoma ekigambo okuliisa obulamu bwe obw’omwoyo. Ng’ekibala ky’ekyo, bwe yabanga yeetaaga amaanyi n’okuzzibwamu amaanyi mu kusaba, ebisuubizo kinoomu tebyali gy’ali nsonga zokka ez’okuwoleza ezisomeddwa mu kitabo okukozesebwa eri Katonda, wabula ebigambo ebiramu bye yali awulidde eddoboozi eddamu erya Kitaffe nga libimugamba, era bye yasobolanga kaakano okuzza eri Kitaffe mu kukkiriza okulamu.

OKUSABA N’OKWAGALA KWA KATONDA.

Ekimu ku bizibu ebisinga obunene eri abakkiriza abato kwe kumanya engeri gye bayinza okuzuula oba nga kye beegomba kituukana n’okwagala kwa Katonda. Nkibala ng’ekimu ku by’okuyiga ebisinga omuwendo Katonda by’ayagala okuyigiriza okuyita mu bye yayitamu George Muller, nti Katonda mwetegefu okumanyisa, ku bintu ekigambo kye bye kitayogerako butereevu, nti bye by’ayagala gye tuli, era nti tuyinza okubisaba. Okuyigiriza kw’Omwoyo, si awatali kigambo wadde okukikontana, wabula ng’ekintu ekisukka ku kyo era ekigenda ewala okukisinga, ekyongerezebwa ku kyo, awatali ekyo tetusobola kulaba kwagala kwa Katonda, bwe busika bwa buli mukkiriza. MU KIGAMBO, ERA MU KIGAMBO KYOKKA, Omwoyo mw’ayigiririza, ng’akozesa emisingi oba ebisuubizo ebya bulijjo ku bwetaavu bwaffe obw’enjawulo. Era OMWOYO, ERA OMWOYO YEKKA, y’ayinza ddala okufuula ekigambo ettaala eri ekkubo lyaffe, oba kkubo lya buvunaanyizibwa mu ntambula yaffe eya buli lunaku, oba kkubo lya kukkiriza mu kusemberera kwaffe eri Katonda. Ka tugezeeko okwetegereza obwangu n’obuwombeefu bw’omwana obwali mu ngeri okwagala kwa Katonda gye kwazuulibwamu era ne kumanyisibwa mu ngeri ekakafu era etangaavu ennyo eri omuddu we.

Ku bikwata ku kuzimba Ennyumba esooka n’obukakafu bwe yalina nti kwali kwagala kwa Katonda, awandiika mu Maayi 1850, nga yaakagiggulawo, ng’ayogera ku bizibu ebinene ebyaliwo, n’engeri gye kyalabikanga mu ndaba y’obuntu nga tekisoboka nti biriggibwawo: ‘Naye newaakubadde nga bye nnali ndaba mu maaso byandinzitoowerera singa nnabitunuulira mu ndaba ey’obuntu, saakkirizibwa wadde omulundi gumu okubuusabuusa engeri gye kyandikomyemu. Kubanga nga bwe nnali nkakasa okuva ku ntandikwa nti kwali kwagala kwa Katonda nti nzimbe Ennyumba eno ennene eya Bamulekwa ku lulwe, bwe ntyo era okuva ku ntandikwa nnali nkakasa nti byonna byandiwedde, nga gy’obeera nti Ennyumba yali ejjudde dda.’

Engeri gye yazuulamu Katonda ky’ayagala erabikira ddala bulungi nnyo mu ebyo by’ayogera ku kuzimba Ennyumba ey’okubiri; era nsaba omusomi okwekenneenya n’obwegendereza eky’okuyiga ekiri mu byafaayo bino:—

‘Des. 5, 1850.—Mu mbeera eno nsobola kusaba kyokka nti Mukama, mu kusaasira kwe okw’ekisa, aleme kukkiriza Setaani kumpangula. Olw’ekisa kya Katonda omutima gwange gugamba nti: Mukama, singa nnali nkakasa nti kye kwagala kwo nti nneeyongere mu maaso mu nsonga eno, nnandikikoze n’essanyu; era ku ludda olulala, singa nnali nkakasa nti bino birowoozo bya bwereere, bya busirusiru, bya malala, nti tebiva gy’oli, nnandibikyaye olw’ekisa kyo, ne mbiggyirawo ddala.

‘Essuubi lyange liri mu Katonda: Ajja kunnyamba era annyigirize. Naye bwe ntunuulira engeri gye yakolagana nange edda, tekyandibadde kintu kya kitalo gye ndi, wadde ekyewuunyisa, singa ampita okukola n’okusingawo mu ngeri eno.

‘Ebirowoozo by’okugaziya omulimu gwa Bamulekwa tebinnajja olw’ensimbi ennyingi ezizze gye buvuddeko; kubanga gye buvuddeko mbadde nnina okulindirira Katonda okumala wiiki nga musanvu, nga kitono, kitono nnyo bw’ogeraageranya, kye kyayingiranga, kwe kugamba ebyafulumanga byali nga bikubisaamu emirundi ena ebyayingiranga; era singa Mukama teyasooka kunsindikira nsimbi nnyingi, twandibadde mu nnaku ddala.

‘Mukama! omuddu wo ayinza atya okumanya ky’oyagala mu nsonga eno? Onoosiima okumuyigiriza!

Desemba 11.—Mu nnaku omukaaga eziyise, okuva lwe nnawandiika ebyo waggulu, mbadde, buli lunaku, nga ndindirira Katonda ku nsonga eno. Okutwalira awamu ebadde ku mutima gwange olunaku lwonna, kitono oba kinene. Bwe mbadde nga ntunula ekiro, tebadde wala ku birowoozo byange. Naye bino byonna awatali kucamuka n’akatono. Ndi mukkakkamu era nteredde ddala ku nsonga eno. Emmeeme yange yandisanyuse okugenda mu maaso mu buweereza buno, singa nnali nkakasa nti Mukama ayagala nkikole; kubanga olwo, newaakubadde ebizibu ebitabalika, byonna byandibadde bulungi; era Erinnya lye lyandigulumiziddwa.

‘Ku ludda olulala, singa nnali nkakasibwa nti Mukama ayagala mmatire n’ekifo kye mpeererezaamu kati, era nti siteekwa kusaba ku kugaziya mulimu, olw’ekisa kye nnandisobodde, awatali kufuba, okukikkiriza n’essanyu; kubanga antuusizza mu mbeera y’omutima nga njagala kumusanyusa yekka mu nsonga eno. Ate era, okutuusa kati sinnayogera ku kintu kino wadde ne mukyala wange omwagalwa, agabana nange essanyu lyange, ennaku zange, n’emirimu gyange okumala emyaka egisukka amakumi abiri; era tekirabika nti nja kukikola okumala ekiseera: kubanga nsinga kwagala okulindirira Mukama mu kasirise, nga sinyumya ku nsonga eno, nsobole bwe ntyo okukuumibwa obulungi, olw’omukisa gwe, obutakwatibwako bintu bya bweru. Ekisinga obukulu mu kusaba kwange ku nsonga eno kiri nti Mukama aleme okundeka okukola ensobi, era annyigirize okukola by’ayagala.

‘Desemba 26.—Ennaku kkumi n’ettaano ziyiseewo okuva lwe nnawandiika ekitundu ekyo ekiyise. Buli lunaku okuva olwo nneeyongedde okusaba ku nsonga eno, era nga mbiddeko obunyiikivu obumala, olw’obuyambi bwa Katonda. Kumpi tewayiseewo ssaawa n’emu mu nnaku zino, nga ndi bulindaala, ensonga eno nga tembeera mu maaso, kitono oba kinene. Naye byonna awatali wadde ekisiikirize ky’okucamuka. Sinyumyako na muntu yenna ku nsonga eno. Okutuusa kati sinnakikola wadde ne mukyala wange omwagalwa. Kubanga kino nkyekuumako, era nkolagana ne Katonda yekka ku nsonga eno, kiryoke kibe nti tewali kintu kya bweru oba okucamuka okw’ebweru okunnemesa okutuuka ku kuzuula mu bulambulukufu okwagala kwe.

Akawungeezi kano nate mbadde n’ekiseera eky’enjawulo ekitukuvu eky’okusaba, okunoonya okumanya okwagala kwa Katonda. Naye nga bwe ngenda mu maaso okwegayirira n’okwegayirira Mukama aleme kundeka kulimbibwa mu nsonga eno, nsobola okugamba nti kumpi sirina kubuusabuusa kwonna kusigadde mu mutima gwange ku kiki ekinaavaamu, kwe kugamba nti nteekwa okugenda mu maaso mu nsonga eno. Naye nga bwe kiri nti eno y’emu ku ntambula ezisinga obukulu ze nnali ntutte, nsalawo nti siyinza kugenda mu nsonga eno n’obwegendereza, n’okusaba, n’okufumiitiriza ebisukkiridde. Sirina kwanguyiriza kwonna. Nnandisobodde okulinda okumala emyaka, olw’ekisa kya Katonda, singa kino kye kwagala kwe, nga sinnaba wadde okutwala ekigere kimu kyokka ku kintu kino, wadde okukyogerako eri omuntu yenna; era ku ludda olulala, nnanditandise omulimu enkya, singa Mukama ampa ekiragiro okukikola. Obukkakkamu buno obw’ebirowoozo, obutaba na kwagala kwange ku bwange mu nsonga eno, okwagala obwagazi okusanyusa Kitange ow’omu ggulu mu nsonga eno, okunoonya obunoonya ekitiibwa kye so si kyange; embeera eno ey’omutima, bwe ŋŋamba, bwe bukakafu obusingirayo ddala gye ndi nti omutima gwange teguli mu kucamuka kwa mubiri, era nti, bwe nnaayambibwa okweyongera bwe ntyo, nja kumanya okwagala kwa Katonda mu bujjuvu. Naye, nga bwe mpandiika kino, sirina kyakukola wabula okwongerako mu kiseera kye kimu, nti nneegomba nnyo ekitiibwa n’enkizo ey’ekitiibwa ey’okukozesebwa Mukama okweyongera n’okweyongera.

‘Njagala okukkirizibwa okuwa abaana bamulekwa lukumi okuyigirizibwa okw’Ebyawandiikibwa, mu kifo ky’okukikolera 300.

Olw’obuyambi bwa Katonda nja kweyongera buli lunaku okumulindirira mu kusaba ku nsonga eno, okutuusa lw’alindagira okukola.

‘Jjan. 2, 1851.—Wiiki emu eyise nnawandiika ekitundu ekyo ekiyise. Mu wiiki eno nkyayambiddwa buli lunaku, era emirundi egisukka mu gumu buli lunaku, okunoonya okukulembera kwa Mukama ku Nnyumba ya Bamulekwa endala. Ekisinga obukulu mu kusaba kwange kibadde nate nti, mu kusaasira kwe okungi, ankuume obutakola nsobi. Mu wiiki ewedde ekitabo ky’Engero kizze mu kusoma kwange okw’Ebyawandiikibwa, era omutima gwange gubudaabudiddwa ku nsonga eno n’ebyawandiikibwa bino: “Weesige Mukama n’omutima gwo gwonna, so teweesigamanga ku magezi go gokka. Mukama mukulembezenga mu by’okola byonna, naye anaakuluŋŋamyanga n’owangula.” (Engero 3:5-6). Olw’ekisa kya Katonda mukulembeza Mukama mu byonna bye nkola, era naddala mu kino; kyenva nnina obukakafu obubudaabuda nti ajja kuluŋŋamya amakubo gange mu kitundu kino eky’obuweereza bwange, oba nnaakikolamu oba nedda. Ate era: “Obwesimbu bw’abatuukirivu bubaluŋŋamya” (Engero 11:3). Olw’ekisa kya Katonda ndi mwesimbu mu nsonga eno. Ekigendererwa kyange eky’amazima kwe kuleetera Katonda ekitiibwa. N’olwekyo nsuubira okuluŋŋamizibwa mu kkubo ettuufu. Ate era: “Emirimu gyo gyonna gikwasenga Mukama, naye anaatuukirizanga entegeka zo.” (Engero 16:3). Emirimu gyange ngikwasa Mukama, n’olwekyo nsuubira nti alituukiriza entegeka zange. Omutima gwange gweyongera okutuuka ku bukakafu obukkakkamu, obusirifu era obunywevu, nti Mukama ajja kusiima okunkozesa n’okusingawo mu mulimu gwa bamulekwa. Laba, Mukama, omuddu wo wuuno.’

Bwe yasalawo oluvannyuma okuzimba ennyumba endala bbiri, Nnamba 4 ne 5, awandiika nate bw’ati:—

‘Ennaku kkumi n’ebbiri ziyiseewo okuva lwe nnawandiika ekitundu ekisembayo. Nkyasobozeseddwa buli lunaku okulindirira Mukama ku nsonga y’okugaziya omulimu gwa Bamulekwa, era mu kiseera kino kyonna mbadde mu mirembe egituukiridde, egiva mu kunoonya mu kintu kino ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyokka n’obulungi obw’omubiri n’obw’omwoyo obwa bantu bannange. Awatali kufuba nnandisobodde, olw’ekisa kye, okulekera awo ebirowoozo byonna ku nsonga eno yonna, singa nnali nkakasa nti kye kwagala kwa Katonda nti nkole bwe ntyo; era ku ludda olulala, nnandigenze mu maaso amangu ago, singa ayagala kibe bwe kityo. Ensonga eno nkyagikuumye mu nze nzekka. Newaakubadde nga kati wiiki nga musanvu, okuva birowoozo byange lwe bitandise okugifumiitirizaako buli lunaku, kitono oba kinene, era okuva lwe ntandise okugisabira buli lunaku, kyokka tewali muntu n’omu agimanyiiko. N’okutuusa kati sinnagyogerako wadde ne mukyala wange omwagalwa, bwe ntyo, nga ndindirira Katonda mu kasirise, nneme kukwatibwako ebyo ebyandiyogeddwa gye ndi ku nsonga eno. Akawungeezi kano kaawuliddwa nnyo olw’okusaba, nga nneegayirira Mukama omulundi omulala aleme okundeka okukola ensobi mu nsonga eno, n’okusingawo okulimbibwa Setaani. Nnoonyezza n’okuleka ensonga zonna ezigaana okuzimba Ennyumba ya Bamulekwa endala, n’ensonga zonna eziwagira okugizimba ziyite mu birowoozo byange: era kaakano, olw’okutangaala n’obulambulukufu, nzizze kuziwandiika. . . .

‘Newaakubadde ensonga mwenda ezisoose zinzitoowerera nnyo, naye tezandindeetedde kusalawo singa tewaali ndala emu. Ye eno. Oluvannyuma lw’okufumiitiriza ku nsonga eno okumala emyezi, n’okugitunuulira mu njuyi zaayo zonna n’ebizibu byayo byonna, era oluvannyuma lw’okuluŋŋamizibwa ku nkomerero, oluvannyuma lw’okusaba kungi, okusalawo okugaziya kuno, ebirowoozo byange biri mu mirembe. Omwana eyeegayiridde emirundi n’emirundi Kitaffe ow’omu ggulu aleme kumuleka kulimbibwa, wadde okukola ensobi, ali mu mirembe, mu mirembe egituukiridde ku kusalawo kuno; era bw’atyo alina obukakafu nti okusalawo okutuukiddwako, oluvannyuma lw’okusaba kungi okumala wiiki n’emyezi, kwe kukulembera kw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu; n’olwekyo agenderera okugenda mu maaso, ng’akkiriza ddala nti taliswazibwa, kubanga yeesiga Katonda. Ebizibu bye biyinza okuba ebingi era ebinene; okusaba enkumi n’enkumi n’emitwalo n’emitwalo kuyinza okulinnya eri Katonda, ng’okuddibwamu okujjuvu tekunnaba kufunibwa; kuyinza okwetaagisa okukozesa ennyo okukkiriza n’okugumiikiriza; naye ku nkomerero kijja nate kulabika nti omuddu we, amwesiga, taswaziddwa.’

OKUSABA N’EKITIIBWA KYA KATONDA.

Tufubye emirundi egisukka mu gumu okunyweza amazima nti, wadde nga bulijjo tunoonya ensonga lwaki okusaba kwaffe tekuwulirwa mu kuba nti kye tusaba tekituukana na kwagala kwa Katonda, Ebyawandiikibwa bitulabula okunoonya ensonga mu ffe ffennyini, mu butaba mu mbeera entuufu oba obutasaba mu mwoyo omutuufu. Ekintu kiyinza okuba nga kituukana ddala n’okwagala kwe, naye okusaba, omwoyo gw’oyo asaba, ne kutatuukana; olwo tetuwulirwa. Nga bwe kiri nti ensibuko ennene ey’ekibi kyonna kwe kwerowoozaako n’okwenoonyeza ebyaffe, bwe kityo tewali kintu, ne mu kwegomba kwaffe okusinga okuba okw’omwoyo, ekiremesa ennyo Katonda okuddamu nga kino: tusaba olw’essanyu lyaffe oba olw’ekitiibwa kyaffe. Okusaba okuba n’amaanyi n’okuwangula kuteekwa okusaba olw’ekitiibwa kya Katonda; era omuntu ayinza okukikola kyokka nga abeera mu bulamu olw’ekitiibwa kya Katonda.

Mu George Muller tulina ekimu ku byokulabirako ebisinga okwewuunyisa ebimanyiddwa, eby’Omwoyo Omutukuvu owa Katonda ng’akulembera omuntu mu bugenderevu era mu ntegeka, ku ntandikwa y’olugendo lw’okusaba, okufuula okugulumiza Katonda ekigendererwa kye ekisooka era ekimu kyokka. Ka tufumiitirize bulungi ku by’ayogera, tuyige eky’okuyiga Katonda ky’ayagala okutuyigiriza okuyita mu ye:—

‘Nnali ntera okuleeterwa ensonga ezaali zikakasa nti ekimu ku bintu eby’enjawulo abaana ba Katonda bye baali beetaaga mu mirembe gyaffe, kwali kunywezebwa mu kukkiriza kwabwe.

‘N’olwekyo nneegombanga okubeera n’ekintu kye nnandisonzeeko baganda bange, ng’obukakafu obulabika nti Katonda waffe era Kitaffe ye Katonda omwesigwa y’omu nga bwe yali bulijjo; mwetegefu nga bulijjo OKWEKAKASA nti ye KATONDA OMULAMU mu mirembe gyaffe nga bwe yali edda, eri bonna abamwesiga.

‘Omwoyo gwange gwali gwegomba okuba ekikozesebwa mu kunyweza okukkiriza kwabwe, nga mbawa si byokulabirako byokka okuva mu kigambo kya Katonda, eby’okwagala kwe n’obusobozi bwe okuyamba bonna abamwesigamako, naye n’okubalaga mu bukakafu nti ye y’omu mu mirembe gyaffe. Nnali mmanyi nti ekigambo kya Katonda kyandibadde kimala, era olw’ekisa kyali kimala gye ndi; naye kyokka nnalowooza nti nteekwa okuwa baganda bange omukono ogubayamba.

‘N’olwekyo nnalaba nga nteekwa okubeera omuweereza w’Ekkanisa ya Kristo, mu nsonga gye nnali nfunyemu okusaasirwa; kwe kugamba, mu kusobola okukwata Katonda ku kigambo kye n’okukyesigamako. Ekigendererwa ekisooka eky’omulimu kyali, era kikyali: Katonda agulumizibwe olw’ensonga nti bamulekwa abali mu mikono gyange bafuna byonna bye beetaaga, mu kusaba n’okukkiriza kwokka, awatali muntu n’omu kusabibwa; olwo kirabike nti Katonda AKYALI MWESIGWA, ERA AKYAWULIRA OKUSABA.

‘Mu nnaku zino ezisembyeyo nsabye nnyo nate ku Nnyumba ya Bamulekwa, era emirundi mingi nkebedde omutima gwange; nti singa kyali mu kwagala kwange n’akatono okugitandika olw’okwesanyusa nzekka, nkizuule. Kubanga nga bwe njagala ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyokka, nja kusanyuka okuyigirizibwa okuyita mu muganda wange, singa ensonga eno teva gy’ali.

‘Bwe nnatandika omulimu gwa Bamulekwa mu 1835, ekigendererwa kyange ekikulu kyali kitiibwa kya Katonda, nga ndaga mu bikolwa ekiyinza okutuukirizibwa okuyita mu kusaba n’okukkiriza kwokka, nsobole bwe ntyo okugasa Ekkanisa yonna, n’okuleetera ensi etafaayo okulaba amazima g’ebintu bya Katonda, nga mbalaga mu mulimu guno nti Katonda omulamu akyali, nga bwe yali emyaka 4000 emabega, Katonda omulamu. Ekigendererwa kyange kino kissiddwamu ekitiibwa kingi. Abonoonyi bangi nnyo bakyusiddwa bwe batyo, abaana ba Katonda bangi nnyo mu bitundu byonna eby’ensi bagasiddwa omulimu guno, nga bwe nnali nsuubira. Naye omulimu gye gukomye okugaziwa, omukisa gye gukomye okubeera omunene, nga guweebwa mu ngeri yennyini gye nnali nsuubiramu omukisa: kubanga abantu emitwalo n’emitwalo bassizza omwoyo ku mulimu guno; era emitwalo mingi bazze okugulaba. Bino byonna bindeetera okwegomba okweyongera n’okweyongera okukola mu ngeri eno, nsobole okuleetera Erinnya lya Mukama ekitiibwa ekisingawo. Okutunuulirwa, okugulumizibwa, okwewuunyizibwa, okwesigibwa, n’okwesigamibwako ebiseera byonna, kye kigendererwa kyange mu buweereza buno; era naddala mu kugaziya kuno kwe ntegeka. Kirabike omuntu omu omwavu, ng’amala kwesiga Katonda kyokka, by’ayinza okutuukiriza olw’okusaba; era nti bwe kityo abaana ba Katonda abalala baluŋŋamizibwe okukola omulimu gwa Katonda nga beesigama ku ye; era nti abaana ba Katonda baluŋŋamizibwe okweyongera okumwesiga mu mbeera zaabwe ne mu bifo byabwe kinoomu: kyenva ntuusibwa ku kugaziya kuno okulala.’

OKUSABA N’OKWESIGA KATONDA.

Waliwo ensonga endala ze nnandisanyuse okulaga ebiri mu byafaayo by’Omwami Muller, naye emu yokka endala ejja kumala. Kye ky’okuyiga eky’okwesiga Katonda okunywevu era okutakyukakyuka mu kisuubizo kye ng’ekyama ky’okusaba okutakoowa. Bwe tumala okukwata ekisuubizo kya Katonda, nga tugondera okuyigiriza kw’Omwoyo mu kigambo, ne tukkiriza nti Kitaffe atuwulidde, tetulina kukkiriza kulwawo kwonna wadde endabika ezitali nnungi okutunyeenya mu kukkiriza kwaffe.

‘Okuddibwamu okujjuvu okw’okusaba kwange okwa buli lunaku kwali kukyali wala okutuukirira; naye Mukama yawa okuzzibwamu amaanyi kungi okweyongera okusaba. Naye ka tugambe, wadde nga kyandibadde kitono nnyo ekyandiyingidde okusinga ekyafunibwa, era bwe nnandibadde, oluvannyuma lw’okutuuka ku kusalawo, ku misingi gy’Ebyawandiikibwa, oluvannyuma lw’okusaba kungi n’okwekebera, nnandigenze mu maaso awatali kuyuugayuuga, mu kukozesa okukkiriza n’okugumiikiriza ku kigendererwa kino; era bwe batyo abaana ba Katonda bonna, bwe bamala okukakasa nti kyonna kye baleeta mu maaso ga Katonda mu kusaba kituukana n’okwagala kwe, bateekwa okweyongera mu kusaba okukkiriza, okusuubira, okutakoowa, okutuusa omukisa lwe guweebwa. Bwe ntyo nange kaakano ndindirira Katonda olw’emikisa egimu, gye mmaze okumwegayirira buli lunaku okumala emyaka kkumi n’emyezi mukaaga awatali kuyosa lunaku na lumu. Naye okuddibwamu okujjuvu tekunnaweebwa ku bikwata ku kukyuka kw’abantu abamu, newaakubadde nga mu kiseera kino nfunye okuddibwamu kw’okusaba enkumi n’enkumi. Era nsabidde buli lunaku awatali kuyosa olw’okukyuka kw’abantu abalala okumala emyaka nga kkumi, abalala emyaka mukaaga oba musanvu, abalala okuva ku myaka esatu oba ebiri; era naye okuddibwamu tekunnaweebwa ku bikwata ku bantu abo, so nga mu kiseera kino okusaba kwange okw’enkumi n’enkumi kuddiddwamu, era n’emyoyo gikyusiddwa, gye nnali nsabira. Nkiteekako essira lingi olw’abo abayinza okulowooza nti nneetaaga kusaba Katonda kyokka, ne nfuna amangu ago; oba nti nnyinza okusaba ku kintu kyonna, n’okuddibwamu ne kujja mazima. Omuntu ayinza kusuubira kufuna kuddibwamu kwa kusaba okutuukana n’endowooza ya Katonda kyokka; era ne bwe kiba bwe kityo, okugumiikiriza n’okukkiriza kuyinza okugezesebwa okumala emyaka mingi, nga nange bwe bigezesebwa mu nsonga gye njogeddeko; era naye nkyeyongera buli lunaku mu kusaba, era nga nsuubira okuddibwamu, era nga nkusuubira mu bukakafu bwe butyo, nti emirundi mingi nneebazizza Katonda nti ddala ajja kukuwa, newaakubadde nga kaakano emyaka kkumi n’omwenda okukkiriza n’okugumiikiriza bibadde bigezesebwa bwe bityo. Muzzibwemu amaanyi, Abakristaayo abaagalwa, mwewaayo n’obunyiikivu obuggya eri okusaba, bwe muba mukakasa nti musaba ebintu ebiweesa Katonda ekitiibwa.

‘Naye ensonga esinga okwewuunyisa y’eno, nti £6, 6s. 6d. okuva e Scotland zampa, nga bwe kiyinza okumanyibwa kaakano, ensimbi zonna ezaali zeetaagisa okutegeka n’okumaliriza Ennyumba za Bamulekwa Empya. Emyaka mukaaga n’emyezi munaana mbadde buli lunaku, era emirundi egisinga emirundi egiwerako buli lunaku, nga nsaba Mukama ampe ensimbi ezeetaagisa olw’okugaziya kuno okw’omulimu gwa Bamulekwa, era okusinziira ku kubalirira okwakolebwa mu kiseera ky’okumera mu 1861, zaalabika nga pawundi nga emitwalo etaano: omugatte gwonna ogw’omuwendo guno nnali nzifunye kaakano. Ntendereza era ngulumiza Mukama olw’okuteeka okugaziya kuno okw’omulimu mu mutima gwange, n’olw’okumpa obuvumu n’okukkiriza okukukola; era okusinga byonna, olw’okuwanirira okukkiriza kwange buli lunaku awatali kuyuugayuuga. Ekitundu ekisembayo eky’ensimbi bwe kyafunibwa, obukakafu bwange ku byonna tebwali bungi okusinga bwe bwali mu kiseera lwe nnali sinnafuna wadde ekirabo kimu ku nsimbi eno ennyingi. Ku ntandikwa, nga maze okutegeera Katonda ky’ayagala, okuyita mu kulindirira Katonda n’okugumiikiriza okungi n’okwekebera omutima, nnali nkakasa ddala nti ajja kukituukiriza, ng’ennyumba ebbiri, n’ebikumi bya bamulekwa nga bazibeeramu, bwe zandibadde nga ziri dda mu maaso gange. Nkola ebigambo bitono wano olw’abakkiriza abato ku nsonga eno: 1. Mugende mpola okutwala entambula empya mu buweereza bwa Mukama, oba mu bizinensi zammwe, oba mu maka gammwe: mupime buli kimu bulungi; mupime byonna mu kitangaala ky’Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu ne mu kutya Katonda. 2. Munoonye obutaba na kwagala kwammwe ku bwammwe, musobole okutegeera Katonda ky’ayagala, ku ntambula yonna gye mugenderera okutwala, mulyoke musobole okugamba mu bwesimbu nti mwetegefu okukola Katonda by’ayagala, bw’anaasiima okubayigiriza. 3. Naye bwe mumala okuzuula Katonda ky’ayagala, munoonye obuyambi bwe, era mubunoonye n’obunyiikivu, n’obugumu, n’okugumiikiriza, nga mukkiriza, era nga musuubira; era mu biseera bye ne mu ngeri ye ddala mulibufuna.
