Eŋŋaano mu Tterekero

Omwana w'Omuntu asiga ensigo ennungi n'obugumiikiriza n'ekigendererwa. Newaakubadde ng'omuddo gukula mu ŋŋaano, Kristo alyawula era akuŋŋaanye ababe. Essuula eno eyanjula amakungula g'ekisa, omulimu gwa bamalayika ogw'essanyu, n'obukuume obutaggwaawo obw'abatuukirivu mu tterekero lya Mukama.

"Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange."—Matayo 13:30 "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange." Olwo ekigendererwa ky'Omwana w'Omuntu kirituukirira. Yasiga ensigo ennungi, era ku nkomerero alijjuza etterekero lye nayo. Toterebuka— Kristo tajja kunyolwa nnaku. "Aliraba ekibala ky'okubonaabona kwe n'akkuta." Yagenda ng'akaaba, ng'atadde ensigo ey'omuwendo, naye alikomawo ng'ajaguza, ng'aleeta ebinywa bye.

"Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange;" olwo enteekateeka ya Setaani erifa bwereere. Omulabe yajja n'asiga omuddo mu ŋŋaano, ng'asuubira nti eŋŋaano ey'obulimba erizikiriza oba erikosa nnyo eŋŋaano ey'amazima; naye ku nkomerero yalemererwa, kubanga eŋŋaano yakula n'etuuka okukungulwa. Etterekero lya Kristo lirijjula; omuddo tegulitta ŋŋaano. Omubi aliswazibwa.

Mu kukuŋŋaanya eŋŋaano, bamalayika abalungi be baliyambisibwa: "bamalayika be bakunguzi." Kino kyoleka okuwangulwa kwa malayika omubi omukulu. Ye asiga omuddo, ng'agezaako okwonoona amakungula; kale bamalayika abalungi batumibwa okujaguza olw'okulemererwa kwe n'okusanyukira awamu ne Mukama waabwe olw'obuwanguzi bw'omulimu gwa Katonda. Setaani talibaako ky'aganyulwa kinene mu kutaataaganya kwe; alilemererwa mu byonna by'akola, kale ekyokutiisa kirituukirira: "Olyewalula ku lubuto lwo era olirya enfuufu."

Nga bamalayika baweebwa omulimu, ebitonde byonna eby'amagezi bye tumanyi, biyingizibwa mu mulimu gw'ekisa; oba lwa bukyayi oba lwa kutya, okununulibwa kubasikiriza bonna. Buli omu, emirimu gya Katonda egy'ekitalo giyolekebwa; kubanga ebintu bino tebikolerwa mu kyama.

Emirundi mingi twerabira bamalayika. Tuleme kubuusa maaso ku kufaayo kwabwe okw'ekisa gye tuli; balaba Mukama ng'asanyukira okwenenya kwaffe, era basanyukira wamu naye.

Be bakuumi baffe era be babaka ba Mukama ab'okusaasira; batuwanirira tuleme okwesittala, era bwe tufa, batutwala mu maaso ga Mukama waffe. Ekimu ku bisanyusa byaffe kwe kuba nti tuli ba kibiina kya bamalayika ekitabalika; katulowooze ku bo n'okwagala.

Kaakano nnaanya nnyo ku kyawandiikibwa kyange, nga mbuulira kigambo ku kigambo. Kitandika ne "naye," era ekyo kye kigambo eky'okwawukana.

Wetegereze nti omuddo n'eŋŋaano birikula wamu okutuusa ekiseera ky'amakungula lwe kirituuka. Kya nnaku nnyingi eri eŋŋaano endala okukula ng'eriraanye omuddo. Abatatya Katonda bali ng'amaggwa n'ebisaka eri abo abatya Mukama. Emirundi emeka omutima ogutya Katonda gwe gusinda: "Zinsanze nze kubanga ntuula mu Meseki, era mbeera mu weema za Kedali!" Abalabe b'omuntu emirundi mingi basangibwa mu maka ge ye; abo abandimuyambye okusinga be bayinza okumulemesa okusinga; okwogera kwabwe kumuteganya era kumubonyaabonya. Emirundi mingi tekigasa kugezaako kubadduka, kubanga omuddo guganyizibwa mu nteekateeka ya Katonda okukula wamu ne ŋŋaano, era bwe gutyo bwe gulikola okutuusa ku nkomerero.

Abantu abatya Katonda basenguse okugenda mu nsi ez'ewala okuzimba ebibiina by'abatukuvu, naye abakola ebibi balabise ne mu bo. Okugezaako okuggyamu abo abatatya Katonda n'abayigiriza eby'obuwaboya kuvuddeko okuyigganyizibwa n'ebizibu ebirala, era enteekateeka yeeyongedde okulemererwa. Abalala beekwese mu bifo eby'obuntu bwokka okwewala okukemebwa kw'ensi, nga basuubira okufuna obuwanguzi olw'okudduka; guno si gwe mukubo gw'amagezi. Ekigambo kya kaakano kiri nti, "Bikule byombi wamu," naye ekiseera kirituuka okwawukana okw'enkomerero lwe kulibaawo. Olwo, mukyala Omukristaayo omwagalwa, balo taakyakuyigganya.

Mwannyoko omutukuvu, mwannyoko taakyakuduulira. Omukozi omutya Katonda, abatatya Katonda tebaakyakusekerera. "Naye" oyo aliba mulyango gwa kyuma wakati w'abo abatya Katonda n'abo abatamutya; olwo omuddo gulisuulibwa mu muliro, naye Mukama w'amakungula aligamba nti, "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange."

Okwawukana kuno kuteekwa okubaawo; kubanga eŋŋaano n'omuddo bwe bikula wamu ku nsi bireeta obulumi bungi n'okwonoona, era kino tekiryeyongera mu nsi esinga obulungi. Abasajja n'abakazi abatya Katonda bayinza okwagala abaana baabwe abatakyusibwa okubeera nabo mu ggulu; naye kino tekiyinza kubaawo, kubanga Katonda tajja kukkiriza abatukuzibbwa be okwonoonebwa, wadde abagulumizibwa be okukemebwa olw'okubeerawo kw'abatakkiriza. Omuddo guteekwa okuggyibwawo olw'obutuukirivu n'okugasa kwa ŋŋaano. Wandyagadde okuba n'omuddo n'eŋŋaano ebituumiddwa wamu mu tterekero? Ekyo kyandibadde bulimi bubi nnyo. Tebiyinza kukozesebwa bulungi okutuusa lwe biryawulibwa ddala.

Mu ngeri y'emu, abalokoddwa n'abatalokoka bayinza okubeera wamu wano, naye si mu nsi ejja. Ekiragiro kya lwatu: "Mukuŋŋaanye omuddo mugusibe mu binywa okugwokya, naye mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange."

Ggwe omwonoonyi, oyinza okusuubira okuyingira mu ggulu? Tewali lwe wayagala Katonda wa maama wo, kale alikukkiriza okuyingira mu mpya ze ez'omu ggulu? Tewali lwe weesiga Omulokozi wa kitaawo, ate ng'osuubira okulaba ekitiibwa kye emirembe gyonna? Onooyita mu ggulu n'amalala, ng'ovuma, oba ng'oyimba ennyimba ez'obugwagwa?

Okoowa okusinza ku Lunaku lwa Mukama; olowooza nti Mukama alikkiriza abasinza abatayagala mu yeekaalu ye ey'omu ggulu? Osanga Ssabbiiti ng'ekikooya; oyinza otya okusuubira okuyingira mu kiwummulo kya Katonda eky'olubeerera? Tolina kwegomba mirimu gya mu ggulu, era gyandivumisibwa singa okkirizibwa okugyenyigiramu; kale, "naye" oyo ateekwa okujja, era oteekwa okwawukana ku bantu ba Mukama emirembe gyonna. Oyinza okugumira okwawulibwa ku mikwano egitya Katonda emirembe gyonna?

Okwawukana okwo kuzingiramu enjawulo entiisa ey'ebiribaawo: "Mukuŋŋaanye omuddo mu binywa okugwokya." Siyinza kukubira kifaananyi kyonna kijjuvu; naye ekinywa bwe kimala okusibibwa, ekifo kyakyo kyokka gwe muliro. Wandidduka okuva mu nnaku eyo yonna. Si nsonga ntono Mukama ow'okwagala gy'ageraageranya n'okumalibwawo omuliro. Tewali bigambo biyinza kutegeeza bulungi entiisa yaakyo. Emirundi mingi twogera ku busungu obugenda okujja; naye mazima tubukendeeza. Yesu omuwombeefu, ow'okwagala, ow'ekisa yagamba ki ng'agamba nti "Mukuŋŋaanye omuddo mugusibe mu binywa okugwokya"? Lowooza ku njawulo ennene wakati w'ebiribaawo ku bantu ba Mukama n'abagoberezi ba Setaani. Okwokya eŋŋaano? Nedda— "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange." Eyo mwe basigala nga bakuumiddwa era nga basanyufu emirembe gyonna. Woowe, olwenya olutakoma wakati w'eggulu n'omuliro ogutazikira—ennanga ne bamalayika, okukaaba n'okuluma amannyo! Ani ayinza okupima olwenya wakati w'omutukuvu agulumizibbwa, ayambadde engoye enjeru era atikkiddwa engule ey'obutafa, n'emmeeme egobeddwa emirembe gyonna okuva ku Katonda n'ekitiibwa kye? "Naye" oyo wa ntiisa. Jjukira, gyawula muganda ku muganda we, maama ku mwana, omwami ku mukyala we. "Omu alitwalibwa, omulala n'alekebwa." Era ekitala ekyo bwe kimala okukka, tewaba kwegatta nate. Okwawukana kwa lubeerera.

Naye omuntu ayinza okubuuza nti, "Lwaki enjawulo eyenkana awo?" Kubanga bulijjo wabaddewo enjawulo. Eŋŋaano yasigibwa Omwana w'Omuntu; eŋŋaano ey'obulimba n'esigibwa omulabe. Bulijjo wabaddewo enjawulo mu mpisa—eŋŋaano nnungi, omuddo mubi. Okusooka enjawulo eno eyinza obutalabika, naye eyolekebwa ng'eŋŋaano n'omuddo bikula. Bimera bya njawulo ddala; bwe kityo n'omuntu azaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri n'oyo atazaalibwa mulundi gwakubiri be bantu ba njawulo ddala. Mpulidde omuntu atazaalidwa mulundi gwakubiri ng'agamba nti mulungi nga bw'ali omuntu atya Katonda; mu kukola bw'atyo, ayolesa amalala ge.

Mazima, mu maaso ga Katonda, enjawulo wakati w'akkiriza n'atakkiriza nnene ng'ey'ekitangaala n'ekizikiza, oba ey'obulamu n'okufa. Omu alina obulamu, omulala talina; enjawulo ya musingi era ya mu makkati.

Woowe, toziluganya na nsonga eno, naye beera eŋŋaano ya Mukama ddala! Tekimala kwetikka linnya lya ŋŋaano—tuteekwa okuba n'obuzaale bwayo. Katonda tasekererwa; tasanyusibwa abo abeeyita Abakristaayo so nga si bo. Toematizibwa kubeera mu bwaŋŋanda bwa kkanisa; noonya okuba mu bumu ne Kristo. Toyogera ku kukkiriza; kukozese. Toyewaana ku bumanyirivu; bufune. Beera eŋŋaano, so si kikoppa. "Naye" ow'entiisa alyeyiringisa ng'ennyanja y'omuliro wakati w'amazima n'obulimba. Ayi Mwoyo Mutukuvu, buli omu ku ffe akyusibwe olw'amaanyi go.

Ekigambo eky'okubiri mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe kiri nti "kuŋŋaanya"—kigambo kya kuŋŋaana. Nga mukisa mungi okukuŋŋaana kuno! Kya ssanyu okuleeta ebibiina bingi okuwulira enjiri; si ssanyu okulaba ennyumba ejjudde abantu, ku nnaku eza wakati ne za Ssabbiiti, nga beetegefu okutambula okuwulira enjiri? Ekyo kikulu; naye okukuŋŋaanya eŋŋaano mu tterekero kwe kw'ekitalo ekisingako. Okukuŋŋaanya kwennyini kusinga okusaasaanya, era nsaba nti Mukama Yesu bulijjo asikirize abantu wano; kubanga si Mwawuzi, naye "gy'ali gye lulijja okukuŋŋaana kw'abantu bonna." Teyagamba nti, "Nange, bwe ndiwanikibwa okuva ku nsi, ndisikiriza abantu bonna gye ndi"?

Wetegereze nti ekibiina mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe kirondebwa era kikuŋŋaanyizibwa abakuŋŋaanya abakugu: "Bamalayika be bakunguzi." Abaweereza tebandisobodde kukola kino bokka, kubanga tebamanyi ŋŋaano yonna ya Mukama era basobola okukola ensobi—abamu nga ba kisa ekisukkiridde, abalala nga bakambwe ennyo. Okusalawo kw'abantu oluusi kuggyamu abatukuvu ne kukkiriza aboonoonyi. Bamalayika bamanyi ebintu bya Mukama waabwe. Bamanyi buli mutukuvu, kubanga baaliwo ng'azaalibwa. Bamalayika bamanyi aboonoonyi lwe beenenya era tebeerabira eyeenenyezza.

Balabye obulamu bw'abakkiriza era babayambye mu ntalo ez'omwoyo. Weewaawo, bamalayika, olw'obusobozi obutukuvu, bategeera abaana ba Kitaffe era tebalimbibwa. Balikuŋŋaanya eŋŋaano yonna ne baleka buli muddo.

Naye bakuŋŋaanyizibwa wansi w'amateeka amakalubo ennyo. Ng'olugero bwe lugamba, omuddo—eŋŋaano ey'obulimba—gusooka kuggyibwawo, olwo abakunguzi ba bamalayika ne bakuŋŋaanya eŋŋaano yokka. Ensigo y'omusota, eyazaalibwa Setaani, yawulibwa okuva ku nsigo ey'obwakabaka, eya Yesu, Omununuzi eyasuubizibwa. Eno y'enjawulo emu; tewali ndala erowoozebwako. Ne singa omuntu atakyusibwa asinga okwagalibwa, ng'ayimiridde mu batukuvu, tandutwalibwa bamalayika kugenda mu ggulu, kubanga ekiragiro kiri nti, "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano." Ne singa omuntu asinga obwesigwa yandiyimiridde wakati mu kkanisa, ng'ateekeddwako abaŋŋanda n'abaweereza nga bamwegayiririra okusaasirwa, singa teyali mukkiriza, tandiyingidde mu tterekero lya Katonda. Tewali kya njawulo. Bamalayika tebalina kya kulonda; ekiragiro ekitakyukakyuka kiri nti, "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano," era tewali mulala yenna gwe balikuŋŋaanya.

Okukuŋŋaanya kuliva mu bifo eby'ewala ennyo. Eŋŋaano endala eyengera mu bizinga eby'omu Nnyanja ey'Obukiikaddyo, mu Bukyayina, ne mu Buyapani. Endala emera bulungi mu Bufalansa, era ennimiro engazi zikula mu Amerika. Tewali nsi eterimu ŋŋaano ya Katonda ennungi. Eŋŋaano ya Katonda yonna gy'emerera, siyinza kugamba. Waliwo ekitundu ekifisseewo, ng'okulonda kw'ekisa bwe kuli, mu buli ggwanga na bantu; naye bamalayika balikuŋŋaanyiza eŋŋaano ennungi yonna mu tterekero limu.

"Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano." Abatukuvu balisangibwa mu buli mutindo gw'abantu. Bamalayika baliggya ebirimba ebitono mu mbiri z'abakabaka, n'emiganda emikulu mu bisulo eby'obwavu. Bangi balikuŋŋaanyizibwa okuva mu maka ag'obwetoowaze ag'omu byalo byaffe n'obubuga obutono, n'abalala balisitulibwa okuva mu nguudo ez'emabega ez'ebibuga byaffe ebinene okutuuka mu kibuga kya Katonda ekikulu. Okuva mu nsonda ezisinga ekizikiza, bamalayika baliggyayo abaana abo ab'obuwoomu n'ekitangaala abatalabanga njuba naye nga balina omutima omulongoofu era nga bamanyi Katonda waabwe. Abakwese n'abatamanyiddwa balireetebwa mu kitangaala, kubanga Mukama amanyi abo ababe, era abakungula be tebalibabuusa.

Kirowoozo kya kitalo nti baliva mu mirembe gyonna. Katusuubire nti kitaffe omusooka, Adamu, aliba eyo, ne maama Kaawa, nga bagoberera ebigere by'omwana waabwe omwagalwa Abeeri, nga beesiga ssaddaaka y'emu. Tulisisinkana Ibulayimu, Isaaka, Yakobo, Musa, Dawudi, Danyeeri, n'abatukuvu bonna abaatuukirira. Nga ssanyu okulaba abatume, abaafiira okukkiriza, n'abazza obuggya! Njagala okulaba Luteeri, Kaluvino, Bunyan, ne Whitefield. Njagala oluyimba lwa kitaffe omukadde omulungi Ryland: "Bonna baliba eyo, abakulu n'abato, Nze omwavu ndikwata mu ngalo Pawulo omutukuvu."

Simanyi bulungi engeri gye kiriba, naye nkakasa nti tuliba n'obumu n'abatukuvu bonna ab'omu mirembe gyonna mu lukuŋŋaana olunene n'ekkanisa ey'ababereberye, abalinnya gaabwe gawandiikiddwa mu ggulu.

Ka kibe nti eŋŋaano yakula ddi oba wa, erikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu tterekero limu—so terikyasaasaanyizibwa nate. Zaakula mu nnimiro ez'enjawulo. Endala zaakula bulungi ku busozi Ababisopo gye bakulaakulanira, n'endala mu ttaka erya wansi Ababatisiti gye beeyongera n'Abamesodisiti gye bakulaakulanira. Naye eŋŋaano bw'emala okuba mu tterekero, tewali ayinza kugamba nnimiro ki ebirimba gye byava.

Olwo, mazima, okusaba kwa Mukama kulifuna okuddibwamu okw'ekitiibwa: "Balyoke babeere bumu." Ensobi zonna nga ziggyibbwawo, obukyamu bwonna nga bugololeddwa era nga busonyiyiddwa, Mukama omu, okukkiriza kumu, n'okubatizibwa kumu birimanyibwa mu bujjuvu, era tewaliba kunyiiza wadde buggya nate. Nga kukuŋŋaana kwa mukisa!

Nga lukuŋŋaana! Abalonde ba Katonda, abasinga obulungi mu mirembe gyonna, ensi be yataasaanira.

Sandyagadde kubulawo. Ne singa tewaliwo muliro ogutazikira, kyandibadde muliro okubula ku kibiina ekyenkanidde awo eky'omu ggulu. Ne awatali kukaaba na kuluma mannyo, kyandibadde kya ntiisa okubula ku kubeerawo kwa Mukama, essanyu ery'okumutendereza emirembe gyonna, n'essanyu ery'okusisinkana ab'ekitiibwa abasinga abaali bawangaalako. Wakati mu mpaka ez'omulembe, nze, eyalabise ng'omusajja ow'entalo, njagala nnyo okuwummula okw'omukisa emmeeme zonna ez'omwoyo gye zirisenderezebwa mu bumu obutaggwaawo mu maaso g'entebe ya Katonda n'ey'Omwana gw'Endiga. Woowe, singa twali bonna nga tuli bulungi, tulyoke twegatte mu mwoyo gumu!

Mu kyawandiikibwa, ekigambo ekiddako kya kulaga. Nkiddeko dda. "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano."

Tewali kirala okuggyako "eŋŋaano" ekiyinza okuyingira mu maka ga Mukama. Mumpe emitima gyammwe nga mbakubiriza okwekebejja okunoonyereza okumala ebbanga ttono. Eŋŋaano yasigibwa Mukama. Ggwe wasigibwa Mukama? Munnange, bw'oba olina eddiini yonna, wagifuna otya? Weesiga wekka? Bwe kiba bwe kityo, tegasa. Eŋŋaano ey'amazima yasigibwa Omwana w'Omuntu. Ggwe wasigibwa Mukama? Omwoyo wa Katonda yasimba obulamu obutaggwaawo mu mutima gwo? Bwava mu mukono ogwo ogwakomererwa ku musaalaba? Yesu bwe bulamu bwo? Obulamu bwo butandikira era ne bukoma ku ye? Bwe kiba bwe kityo, kirungi.

Eŋŋaano esigibwa Mukama era y'efaayibwako. Eŋŋaano yeetaaga okulabirirwa okunene. Omulimi tafunamu kantu bw'ateegendereza kugirabirira. Ggwe oli wansi w'okulabirira kwa Mukama? Akukuuma? Kya mazima eri emmeeme yo nti: "Nze, Mukama, ngikuuma; ngifukirira buli kaseera: waleme kubaawo agyonoona, ngikuuma emisana n'ekiro"? Ofuna okukuumibwa okwenkanidde awo? Ddamu mu bwesimbu, ku lw'emmeeme yo.

Ekiddako, eŋŋaano ya mugaso, kirabo okuva eri Katonda olw'okuganyula abantu. Eŋŋaano ey'obulimba teyalina ky'egasa; yasobola kuliisa ngulube zokka, n'eziyuuguumya ng'eziyingiddwa omwenge. Ggwe oli omu ku abo abalamu obulungi mu bantu—ng'emmere eri ensi, nti abantu bwe bakkiriza ekyokulabirako kyo, okuyigiriza kwo, n'obulamu bwo, baweebwa omukisa? Salawo oba oli mulungi oba wa kabi mu bulamu ne mu buyinza bwo.

"Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano." Katonda ateekwa okuteeka mu ggwe obulungi, ekisa, amaanyi, n'omugaso, oba toolibe ŋŋaano esaanira okukuŋŋaanyizibwa bamalayika. Eŋŋaano y'ekimera ekisinga okwesigama ku kirala mu bimera byonna. Sirina lwe nawulira nnimiro ya ŋŋaano eyakula n'eyengera awatali kulabirira kwa mulimi.

Ebirimba ebimu biyinza okulabika oluvannyuma lw'amakungula, naye sirina lwe nawulira nsenyi zibisse ŋŋaano etaasigibwa.

Tewali ŋŋaano awatali muntu, era tewali kisa awatali Kristo. Okubeerawo kwaffe tukuwa Kitaffe, omulimi. Naye newaakubadde ng'eyesigama bw'etyo, eŋŋaano erina ekitiibwa n'ekissa; bwe kityo, abantu abatya Katonda bassibwamu ekitiibwa abo ab'okutegeera. Tetuli kantu awatali Kristo, naye nga tuli naye tujjudde ekitiibwa. Woowe, okuba mu abo ensi be ekuumibwa, abalungi ab'ensi, abatukuvu mwe basanyukira. Katonda akyewale tuleme kubeera mu muddo omubi ogutaliimu mugaso!

Ekisembayo, ekigambo eky'ekifo eky'omugendo: "Mukuŋŋaanye eŋŋaano mugiteeke mu tterekero lyange." Enkola ey'okukuŋŋaanya erimalirizibwa ku lunaku olw'omusango, naye egenda mu maaso buli lunaku. Abatukuvu bakuŋŋaanyizibwa bulijjo, nga bagenda eri eggulu ne kaakano. Nsanyuka okuwulira nti abaŋŋanda abaafa aba kkanisa yange basanyukira okukungulwa. Ekitiibwa kibe eri Katonda, abantu baffe bafa bulungi. Okubeera obulungi kwe kusinga, naye okufa obulungi emirundi mingi kwe kukakasa n'amaanyi amasingira ddala okutya Katonda okw'amazima. Ensi ewulira amaanyi ag'okufa okw'obuwanguzi.

Buli ssaawa, abatukuvu bakuŋŋaanyizibwa mu tterekero. Eyo gye baagala okubeera. Tetuwulira nnaku ku kukuŋŋaanya kuno, kubanga twagala okuterekebwa obulungi Mukama waffe. Singa eŋŋaano mu nnimiro yandyogedde, buli kirimba kyandigambye nti: "Ekiruubirirwa kye tubeerera ne tukulira ye tterekero, etterekero ery'empeke." Olw'ekigendererwa kino omusanvu n'enjuba, omusulo n'enkuba, byonna bikola. Buli nkola ey'eŋŋaano etambulira eri etterekero ery'empeke. Bwe kityo, buli kintu kiri mu ffe kikolera eri eggulu—ekifo eky'okukuŋŋaana, ekibiina ky'abatuukirivu, okulaba amaaso g'Omununuzi waffe. Okufa kwaffe tekuleeta buyombo; kutuukiriza oluyimba lw'obulamu bwaffe. Eri eŋŋaano, etterekero kifo kya bukuume. Temuli buku, musanvu, bbugumu, ekyeeya, wadde obunnyogovu ng'emala okuyingira. Akabi konna kayiseewo. Etuuse ku butuukirivu, eyeeyanjudde omulimu gw'omulimi, era eterekeddwa obulungi. Woowe, olunaku olwasuubirwa ebbanga eddene, tandika! Woowe, abooluganda, nga mukisa nnyo bwe tutuuka ku bukulu, Kristo n'alaba mu ffe ekibala ky'okubonaabona kw'emmeeme ye.

Nsanyukira okulowooza ku ggulu ng'etterekero lye—nga kirowoozo! Olulimi lwavu kubanga tuteekwa okuyita amaka ga Kitaffe, ekifo Yesu w'abeera, etterekero. Eggulu lye lubiri lwa Kabaka, naye gye tuli tterekero, ekifo eky'obukuume, eky'okuwummula, n'eky'obutebenkevu. Ge maka ga Kristo, era tuli mu kwengera olw'ago. Kirowoozeeko n'essanyu erisukkiridde; kubanga okukuŋŋaanyizibwa mu tterekero kwe kukomawo eka okw'amakungula. Abantu tebakaaba ku makungula ag'ensi, so tebagoberera binywa na maziga. Bakuba mu ngalo, bazina, ne baleekaana olw'essanyu. Katukole bwe tutyo eri abo abamaze okuterekebwa. N'ennyimba enzito era ennungi, katuyimbe okwetooloola amalaalo gaabwe.

Obukaawu bw'okufa buyiseewo. Jjukira ekitiibwa kyabwe, era sanyuka ng'omukazi eyazadde omwana, "atakyajjukira nnaku, olw'essanyu nti omuntu azaaliddwa mu nsi." Emmeeme endala etandika okuyimba mu ggulu—lwaki mukaaba, mmwe abasika b'obutafa? Essanyu ery'olubeerera lye kuzaalibwa okuddirira obulumi bw'okufa? Kale ba mukisa abo abafa. Ekitiibwa kye kivaamu ekyo ekijjuza amaka gaffe okukungubaga? Weebaze Katonda olw'okufiirwa, olw'okwawukana okw'ennaku. Agulumizza abaagalwa baffe okubatwala waggulu mu bbanga! Abawadde omukisa okusukka byonna bye twandisabye oba bye twandirowoozezza, ng'abaggya mu nsi eno ekooya okubagalamiza mu kifuba kye emirembe gyonna. Erinnya lye litenderezebwe, ne bwe kiba nga si lwa kirala okuggyako kino.

Wandyagadde okukuuma kitaawo omukadde wano, ng'ajjudde obulumi n'obunafu? Mukazi wo omwagalwa, ng'agumira okubonaabona? Balo n'omuggya ku ngule ey'obutafa? Omwana wo okudda ku nsi okuva mu ssanyu? Nedda.

Twegomba okuddayo eka ffennyini, naye ku bikwata ku abo abaafa, tusanyukira mu maaso ga Mukama nga ku makungula. "Kale mugumyaganenga na bigambo bino."
