Amaanyi g’Okwegayiririra

Awo Derira n’agamba Samusooni nti, “Kaakano mbuulira amaanyi go amangi mwe gasibuka, era n’ekiyinza okukusiba okukujeeza.” Balam 16:6.

Kino kye kibuuzo kye twandyagadde okuddibwamu okuva ku basajja, ab’edda n’ab’oluvannyuma, abaali abegayiririza olw’abalala, abaafuna amaanyi ne Katonda ne bawangula. Bangi okusinga omu, abaayagala okwewaayo eri obuweereza buno, beewuunya nti basanze nga kizibu okusanyukira mu bwo, okugumiikiriza, n’okuwangula. Ka twekenneenye obulamu bw’abakulembeze n’abazira ab’ensi y’okusaba; oboolyawo tunaavumbula ebimu ku bintu ebyaleeta obuwanguzi bwabwe.

Omwegayiririza ow’amazima ye muntu amanyi nti Katonda amumanyi, era nti omutima gwe n’obulamu bwe biwaddeyo ddala eri Katonda n’ekitiibwa kye. Eno y’embeera yokka omuntu gy’ayinza okusuubira okuba n’obuyinza obungi mu lubiri lwa kabaka ow’ensi. Musa, Eriya, Danyeri, ne Pawulo balaga nti bwe kiri bwe kityo mu nsi ey’omwoyo. Mukama waffe omuweereddwa omukisa yennyini ye bujulizi bwakyo. Teyatulokola na kwegayiririra, wabula na kwefiiriza. Amaanyi ge ag’okwegayiririra gasibuka mu ssaddaaka ye: gasaba era gafuna ekyo ssaddaaka kye yawangula. Nga bwe tukiraba bulungi mu bigambo eby’enkomerero ebya Isaaya 53: “Yayiwa emmeeme ye okutuuka mu kufa, n’abalibwa wamu n’abamenyi b’amateeka, kyokka n’asitula ekibi kya bangi,” — kyekenneenye kino awamu n’essuula yonna gy’ekibala ky’eno engule — “era yasabira abamenyi b’amateeka.” Yasooka okwewaayo eri okwagala kwa Katonda.

Eyo gye yaweera amaanyi ag’okukwata n’okuluŋŋamya okwagala okwo. Yeewaayo olw’aboonoonyi mu kwagala okumalawo byonna, bw’atyo n’aweera amaanyi ag’okubegayiririra. Tewali kkubo ddala eddala eritufaanira ffe. Ye muntu anoonya okuyingira mu kufa ne Kristo eyekka, era eyeewaayo ddala eri Katonda n’abantu, y’anaaguma okuba omuvumu nga Musa oba Eriya, anaagumiikiriza nga Danyeri oba Pawulo. Okwewaayo n’okugondera Katonda n’omutima gwonna bye biraga ebisooka eby’omwegayiririza.

Weemulugunya nti towulira nga osobola okusaba, n’obuuza engeri gy’oyinza okusaanyizibwamu okukikola. Woogera nnyo ku bunafu bw’okukkiriza kwo mu Katonda n’okwagala emyoyo, n’essanyu mu kusaba. Omuntu agenda okubeera n’amaanyi mu kwegayiririra ateekwa okulekera awo okwemulugunya kuno — ateekwa okumanya nti alina obuntu obuteekeddwateekeddwa ddala olw’omulimu guno. Omuti gw’emiyembe gusuubirwa okubala emiyembe kubanga gulina obuntu bw’omuyembe munda.

“Kubanga tuli mulimu gwe, twatondebwa mu Kristo Yesu olw’ebikolwa ebirungi.” Eriiso lyatondebwa okulaba: nga litegekeddwa bulungi olw’omulimu gwalyo! Ggwe watondebwa mu Kristo okusaba.

Bwe buntu bwo ddala ng’omwana wa Katonda; Omwoyo yatumibwa mu mutima gwo — okukola ki? Okukoowoola nti Abba Kitange, okusika omutima gwo mu kusaba ng’okw’omwana omuto. Omwoyo Omutukuvu asabira mu ffe n’okusinda okutayogekeka, n’amaanyi ag’obwakatonda ago amagezi gaffe n’enneewulira zaffe bye zitasobola kutegeera. Yiga, bw’oba oyagala okuba omwegayiririza, okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu ekitiibwa ekisingira ddala ku ekyo ekitera okuweebwa. Kkiriza nti asaba munda yo, olwo obeere ow’amaanyi era ow’obuvumu obulungi. Bw’oba osaba, siriikirira mu maaso ga Katonda okukkiriza n’okwewaayo eri amaanyi gano ag’ekitalo ag’okusaba agali munda yo.

Naye waliwo obwonoonyi n’obulema bungi bwe tumanyi mu kusaba kwaffe? Kituufu, naye tonnayiga kye kitegeeza okusaba mu linnya lya Kristo?

Erinnya teritegeeza maanyi galamu? Tomanyi nti oli mu Kristo era naye ali mu ggwe? Nti obulamu bwo bwonna bukwekeddwa era busibiddwa mu bubwe? N’obulamu bwe bwonna bukwekeddwa era bukola mu ggwe? Omuntu agenda okwegayiririra n’amaanyi ateekwa okutegeera bulungi nnyo nti si mu birowoozo n’okubala kwokka, wabula mu mazima ddala amalamu ag’obwakatonda, Kristo naye bali omu mu mulimu ogw’okwegayiririra. Ayimirira mu maaso ga Katonda ng’ayambadde erinnya n’obuntu, obutuukirivu n’obusaanidde, ekifaananyi n’omwoyo n’obulamu bwa Kristo. Tomalanga budde bwo obusinga mu kusaba ng’oddiŋŋana okusaba kwo, naye n’obwetoowaze, obusirufu, n’obwesige noonya ekifo kyo mu Kristo, okwegatta kwo okutuukiridde naye, n’okuyingira kwo eri Katonda mu ye. Ye muntu ajja eri Katonda mu Kristo, ng’aleetera Kitaffe Kristo oyo gw’asanyukira, nga bwe bulamu bwe n’etteeka lye n’obwesige bwe bwokka, y’anaabeera n’amaanyi ag’okwegayiririra.

Okwegayiririra kusingira ddala mulimu gwa kukkiriza. Si kukkiriza okugezaako kukkiriza nti okusaba kunaawulirwa, wabula okukkiriza okuli awaka mu bintu eby’omu ggulu ebya nnamaddala. Okukkiriza okuteeraliikirira olw’obutaba kintu n’obunafu bwo, kubanga kubeera mu Kristo. Okukkiriza okutassa ssuubi lyakwo ku nneewulira zaakwo, wabula ku bwesigwa bwa Katonda Omu mu Basatu, mu ekyo buli muntu ky’akutte okukola mu kusaba. Okukkiriza okuwangudde ensi, ne kuwaayo ekirabika kiryoke kibe eddembe ddala olw’eby’omwoyo n’eby’omu ggulu, n’eby’emirembe kiryoke kikwate ku byo. Okukkiriza okumanyi nti kuwuliddwa era kufuna kye kusaba, era n’olwekyo mu bukkakkamu n’obuteefuubi kugumiikiriza mu kwegayiririra kwakwo okutuusa eky’okuddamu lwe kijja. Omwegayiririza ow’amazima ateekwa okuba omuntu ow’okukkiriza.

Omwegayiririza ateekwa okuba omubaka — oyo eyeetegese, eyeewaayo yennyini n’obunyiikivu okufuna eky’okuddamu n’okukigabira abalala. Okusaba n’okukola bigenda wamu. Lowooza ku Musa — obuvumu bwe obw’okwegayiririra Katonda olw’abantu tebwali businga bw’asaba abantu olwa Katonda. Tulaba ekifaananyi kye kimu mu Eriya — obunyiikivu obw’okusaba kwe mu kyama bwenkanankana n’obuggya bw’alina olwa Katonda mu lwatu, bwe yalaba ekibi ky’eggwanga.

Okwegayiririra kubeerenga bulijjo nga kugenda wamu, si nnyo n’okwongera nnyo omulimu ogunyiikivu, wabula n’okulindirira Katonda mu buteefuubi n’obwetoowaze okufuna ekisa kye n’omwoyo gwe, n’okumanya obulungi ekyo n’engeri gy’ayagala okutukozesaamu.

Kintu kimu, era kya maanyi, okutandika okukwata omulimu ogw’okwegayiririra — okusika okuva mu ggulu okuleeta ku nsi emikisa ggulu gye lirina olwa buli kyetaago kyalyo. Kya maanyi okusinga, ng’omwegayiririza, okufuna omukisa ogwo wekka, n’ofuluma mu maaso ga Katonda ng’omanyi nti otutte ekintu kye tuyinza okugabira abalala. Katonda atufuule ffenna abegayiririza abalina omutima gwonna, abakkiriza, era abasitula omukisa.
