Olwazi Olwesittalwako

Yesu yaleeta okwesittala kungi! Peetero ne Pawulo bombi bajuliza Endagaano Enkadde nga bamuyita “olwazi olwesittalwako” (Abaruumi 9:33 ne 1 Peetero 2:8).

Abafalisaayo baamwesittalako, dayimooni ne bamwesittalako, era n’ab’oluganda lwe ne bamwesittalako!

Naye abamu yeewala n’obugenderevu okubanyiiza, ng’abasolooza b’omusolo abaanyoomebwanga. Yagamba Peetero agende ku nnyanja gy’anaasanga omusolo ogwetaagisa mu kamwa k’ekyennyanja, “obutabanyiiza” (Matayo 17:24). Naye abalala kirabika yabanyiiza mu bugenderevu!

Yokaana Omubatiza — Ow’oluganda lwa Yesu. Yokaana Omubatiza yali wa luganda ne Yesu, era yazaalibwa emyezi mitono nga Yesu tannazaalibwa. Yali ajjudde Omwoyo Omutukuvu ng’akyali mu lubuto lwa nnyina, era ye yasooka okulaga okwaniriza kwonna eri Masiya eyali asuubiziddwa. Yabuuka mu lubuto lwa Erisabeesi, Maliyamu nnyina wa Yesu bwe yasooka okujja okubuulira ekyamagero eky’okuba olubuto kwe.

Nkakasa nti abalenzi abo bombi baamala essaawa nnyingi awamu nga bakyali bato. Oboolyawo baazannyanga era ne bakolera awamu, ne badduka era ne balwana awamu, ne boogera era ne bawakana awamu. Oboolyawo baayogeranga ne ku mugugu ogwali gukula mu mutima gwa buli omu ku bo.

Ekyasembayo, Yokaana n’ava eka ng’agoberera okuwaliriza okw’ekitalo. Kiyinzika okuba nti Yesu ye yekka eyategeera bwe yalangirira nti kimugwanira “okulongoosa oluguudo lwa Mukama” (Matayo 3:3), n’alyoka agenda mu ddungu.

Eyo, Yokaana n’atandika okubuulira bonna abaali bamuwuliriza.

“Masiya anaatera okujja,” yalangiriranga, “naye tetwetegese! Mwenenye mubatizibwe. Mudde eri Katonda wammwe!”

(Matayo 3:2-12) Abantu ne baanukula, nga banoonya okutabaganyizibwa ne Yakuwa, era nga balaga okusalawo kwabwe okuppya nga babatizibwa mu mugga ogw’omu kitundu ekyo, omugga Yoludaani. Okubatizibwa kwabwe kwali kwa kwenenya n’okudda mu njigiriza entuufu.

Olunaku lumu Yesu n’ajja ku mugga Yoludaani, Yokaana n’akaabirira abantu ng’agamba nti, “Mulabe Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda aggyawo ebibi by’ensi!” (Yokaana 1:29). Yokaana n’awa obujulirwa nti yalaba ejjiba nga likka ku Yesu era nga libeera ku ye.

Okwo kw’ogatta nti, Omwoyo Omutukuvu yali amaze okubuulira Yokaana nti ako kwe kwandibadde akabonero ka Masiya eyali ajja, mu Yokaana 1:34 awawandiikiddwa nti, “Ekyo nkirabye era nkiweerako obujulirwa nti Ye Mwana wa Katonda.”

Yokaana teyali mubuulizi wa ttutumu eyasanyusanga ‘amatu g’abantu.’

Abasinga obungi ku abo abajjanga okumuwulira n’okumulaba baali banoonya kyewuunyo, nga basuubira nti banaabeerawo okuwulira bw’anaanenya abakulembeze b’ekkuŋŋaaniro abeetuukiriza.

Yalina ebigambo ebikalubo eby’okugamba abakulembeze ng’abo, era abantu ne bakyagala; naye Kerode ye teyakyagala. Ye yali mufuzi mu Bwakabaka bwa Rooma mu kiseera ekyo, era yali musajja mubi eyali yeetabidde ne muka muganda we — ekikolwa Yokaana kye yanenya mu lwatu. Okusirisa eddoboozi lye, Kerode n’asibisa Yokaana mu kkomera.

Nsobola okuteebereza ebirowoozo bya Yokaana bwe yali mu makomera ago.

“Kerode, ggwe omusirusiru omukadde! Olowooza nti gw’olina obuyinza era nti okunteeka mu kkomera kujja kusirisa eddoboozi lyange. Naye ow’oluganda lwange ye Masiya, era azze okumenya obwakabaka bwo obutono n’okussaawo obubwe! Ajja kunziggya mu kkomera lino mangu, era gw’olisibibwa! Yalangirira nti yajja okuwa abasibe eddembe. Sisobola kulinda kulaba maaso go bw’anaakikola!” Awo Yokaana n’aterebuka mu kasenge ke n’alinda… n’alinda… n’alinda… Mu kiseera ekyo, Yesu n’ayongera n’obuweereza bwe mu byalo ebiriraanyewo, nga tafuna na kaseera ka kukyalira Yokaana mu kkomera!

Mazima ddala, yandibadde waakiri ajje amukyalire! Naye olw’okuba nga tajja, Yokaana n’eesittala, era oluvannyuma n’atemwako omutwe! Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana ne batumibwa eri Yesu okubuuza ekibuuzo ekituusa ku nsonga. “Ggwe wuuyo gwe tubadde tulindirira, nantiki tulindirireyo omulala?” (Matayo 11:3). “Totuukiriza bye twali tusuubira kubanga tokola bye twali tusuubira okukola!”

Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Muddeeyo eri Yokaana mumutegeeze byonna bye muwulidde ne bye mulabye: abazibe b’amaaso bazibulwa amaaso ne balaba, n’abalema batambula, n’abagenge balongoosebwa, n’abaggavu b’amatu gagguka ne bawulira, n’abafu bazuukizibwa, era n’abaavu babuulirwa Enjiri. Era alina omukisa oyo atanneesittalako” (Lukka 7:22-23).

Maliyamu, Mukwano gwa Yesu Omwagalwa. Yesu yalina emikwano egy’enjawulo ennyo egyabeeranga mu kabuga ak’e Besaniya. Yali mayiro ntono bukadde bwe yafuna amawulire nti mukwano gwe Laazaalo yali afa era nga bannyina Maliyamu ne Maliza bamukungubagira. “Yesu yali mukwano gwa Maliyamu ne Maliza ne Laazaalo, naye bwe yawulira nga Laazaalo alwadde n’ayongera n’asigala we yali n’amalawo ennaku endala bbiri nga tanagenda gye bali” (Yokaana 11:5-6).

Tetusoma ku byamagero byonna, oba okuyigiriza kwonna, oba ekintu kyonna kye yakola mu nnaku ezo ebbiri! Era Laazaalo n’afa! Yesu bwe yasembayo okutuuka e Besaniya, Laazaalo yali amaze ennaku nnya mu ntaana era bannyina baali mu nnaku nnyingi. Maliza ye yafuluma okumwaniriza. Ekyo kya kwewuunya, kubanga ye gwe tutera okulowooza nti ‘ye yali omupakasi’ — oyo eyasibirwanga mu ffumbiro — ate nga mwannyina Maliyamu yalekanga byonna n’atuula ku bigere bya Yesu, ng’abinaaza n’amafuta ag’omuwendo omungi era ng’abisiimuula n’enviiri ze, nga bw’ayiga buli kye yayogera. Leero, Maliyamu yandibadde wa kitiibwa mu mirimu gy’Ekikristaayo — nga ye ssentebe w’Ekibiina ky’Abakyala Abasinza eky’omu kitundu, ate nga mwannyina ali emabega ng’ateeka kaawa era ng’agaba obugaati.

Maliza n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde” (Yokaana 11:21). Yesu n’amukakasa nti mwannyina alizuukira, kubanga Ye kye kizuukira era Ye bwe bulamu.

Sirina kunenya kwonna kwe mpulira mu bigambo bya Maliza, wabula nnaku yokka. N’alyoka agenda eri Maliyamu okumugamba ajje eri Yesu.

Naye lwaki Maliyamu yali tali eyo dda? Mazima ddala, yali amanyi nti ajja? Buli omu yandikimanyi, naye Maliyamu yatuula butuuzi mu nnyumba. Lwaki? Ka njogere nti yali anyiize!

Yali yeesittadde ! Bw’ajja eri Yesu, agwa mu maaso ge ng’akaaba, n’ayogera ebigambo bye bimu Maliza bye yali ayogedde. “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde” (Yokaana 11:32).

Weetegereze nti Yesu tagamba Maliyamu bigambo bya kubudaabuda bye bimu bye yagamba mwannyina. Kiyinza okuba nga kyava ku ndoboozi ye? Ey’okuloopa? Ey’okusalira omusango?

Mu kifo ky’okubudaabuda Maliyamu, “Yesu n’akaaba amaziga” (Yokaana 11:35), naye si lwa kuba nti Laazaalo yali afudde — ekyo yali akimanyi dda, era ng’amanyi nti mu kaseera katono bonna bandisanyukidde okuzuukira kwe. Teyakaaba lwa kuba nti Maliyamu, Maliza, ne mikwano gyabwe baali mu nnaku — yali amanyi nti bandibadde bwe batyo kubanga ekyo kya bulijjo ng’omwagalwa afudde.

Yakaaba kubanga Maliyamu yali yeesittadde.

Yesu yandifiiridde “ebyonoono” byaffe, naye akyanakuwala bwe twesittala.

Nga bali mu lugendo okugenda e Besaniya, Yesu yali agambye abayigirizwa be nti abantu batera okwesittala bwe batasobola kutegeera. Baba batambula mu kizikiza (Yokaana 11:10). Yali amanyi Maliyamu bw’anaakola?

Lwaki Okwesittala Kujja. Lwaki Mukama akkiriza okwesittala okujja? Kiyinza okuba nti ekigendererwa kye kwe kutubikkulira ekintu ekitukwatako? Yokaana yalina okutegeera nti, newaakubadde nga yali alangiridde nti, “Kimugwanira ye okugulumizibwa naye nze okutoowazibwa” (Yokaana 3:30), enteekateeka y’ebiseera erina okuba eya Mukama so si eye.

Kyangu gye tuli okugwa mu mutego ogw’okugezaako okuwaliriza Katonda okukola ebintu mu ngeri yaffe. Kyangu nnyo okusukka olusalo oluli wakati w’okutuukiriza by’ayagala ye, n’ebyo bye twagala ffe. Tetusaana kwesittala ng’atakola bintu ‘mu ngeri yaffe’ kubanga ye yekka y’amanyi ekitusinga obulungi, ne bwe tuba nga tetusobola kulaba nsonga lwaki tuyita mu biwonvu.

Maliyamu yali yeetaaga okuyiga nti obuwulize n’obwesige businga nnyo ekitiibwa n’ettutumu, ne mu ‘buweereza’ bwa Mukama?

Obukulu mu Bwakabaka bufunibwa abo abasembayo okuba aba wansi, ng’abaweereza (Lukka 9:48).

Ky’Olina Okukola ku Kwesittala. Okusooka, olina okukyetikka ! Okwesittala kukukwo! Omulala takwonoonye — ggwe wennyini ‘weetisse enkima’ ku bibegabega byo, kale gikasuke — oba ogyetikke!

Ekiddako, kikebere ! Mukama yakkiriza ne kujja kulyoke kukuyigirize ekintu ekikukwatako.

Nnina bye nayiga ebizibu mu ngeri eno, era nabawa ezimu ku nsonga lwaki okwesittala kujja mu ssuula eyayita. Olina okusoma engeri z’obuntu bwo era oyige okussa essira ku maanyi go. Okugeza, abasumba abasinga obungi batera okuba ab’ennaku. Ekirabo kimu eky’ow’ennaku kwe kusobola okulaba ebizibu edda nnyo ng’abalala tebannabiraba. Kino kiyinza okubaleetera okunenya abalala, n’okwesittala olw’okulemwa kw’abalala okulaba ‘ekyeyoleka,’ n’okukikolako. Katonda yeebazibwe nti temuli nga nze mwenna!

Ebirabo bya buli omu bya njawulo. Okumala emyaka mingi nnali nneesittala olw’okulemwa kw’abalala okutegeera okuyigiriza kwange nga ‘ekirabo.’ Buli omu alowooza nti asobola okuyigiriza, era nnina okuyiga okuba ‘ow’eddiba eggumu’ abantu bwe banyooma ebirabo byange n’okuyitibwa kwange ng’omusumba.

Bw’omala okukyetikka n’okikebera , kisuule !

Mu kwesalirawo, kusabireko era okuziike! Sabira omukisa abo abaakunyiiza era onoonye amaanyi g’Omwoyo Omutukuvu singa okwesittala kulabika ng’okuzitowa ennyo — yasuubiza okumala ebigezo byo byonna.

“Mufubenga okuba n’emirembe n’abantu bonna, era mufubenga okuba abatukuvu, kubanga atali mutukuvu taliraba Mukama. Buli muntu afe ku munne waleme kubeerawo n’omu ava mu kisa kya Katonda, era mwekuume ‘ensigo ey’obukyayi’ ereme okuloka mu mmwe, bangi ne bagwagwawala” (Abaebbulaniya 12:14-15).

Awo, ekigendo ekisembayo okutwala enkima bwe ziba ku bibegabega byo, kwe kukyerabira ! Toganya kwesittala kubeera mu mutima gwo nate. Kiweeyo eri Mukama, era okiggye ku birowoozo byo ne ku mutima gwo.

Ekisembayo, toba oyo aleeta okwesittala , kubanga, “zimusanze omuntu oyo abireeta!” (Lukka 17:1)!
