Obukakafu Obw’okukkiriza

Nnali nzijjudde obunyiikivu olw’ekizuuliddwa kyange nti tewaali kintu kirala kyandabikira nga kya mugaso n’akatono; era, nga bwe njogedde, nalumba buli mukwano gwe nnalina ku nsonga eno, ne nkakanya okumanya oba nabo baali bazudde amazima ag’ekitalo nti ebibi byabwe byonna byali bisonyiyiddwa, era nti baali baana ba Katonda. Nnabawaliriza kwokka okuwuliriza, oba baali baagala oba nedda, kubanga kyandabikira ng’ekintu ekisaddaaza ennyo omuntu yenna okulemererwa okukimanya, nga nkyali mulamu okukyogera.

Era nteekwa okwogera nti kumpi buli muntu gwe nnayogeza — oboolyawo ekitundu olw’okwewuunya kwabwe okulumbibwa n’amaanyi bwe gatyo — yawuliriza n’obwesunge, era mu bbanga eritono baakkiriza endowooza ze nnalanga n’obunyiikivu bungi. Bangi ku mikwano gyange, mazima, baali dda Bakristaayo, naye nga tebaali baguma kwerowoozaako bwe batyo; era gye bali enjigiriza yange yaleeta obukakafu obw’okukkiriza bwe baali beetaaga nnyo.

Mazima, kyandabikira ng’amawulire amalungi ag’ekitalo ennyo nti nnalowooza nti singa nfuluma mu luguudo ne nnyimirira mu nsonda, ne ntandika okugategeeza, buli omu yandiggudde enzigi n’amadirisa okuwuliriza olugero lwange. Nnawulira nga omubaka atambulira mu mayumba amawanvu ag’ekkomera, ng’aleese ekiragiro kya Kabaka eky’okusonyiyibwa okwa buwa eri buli musibe. Obubaka bwa Pawulo mu kkuŋŋaaniro ly’Abayudaaya e Antiyokiya, bwe yayogera nabo ku Yesu n’agamba nti: “Kale mumanye, abasajja ab’oluganda, nti mu muntu ono okusonyiyibwa kw’ebibi kubuulirwa mmwe; era mu ye buli akkiriza aweebwa obutuukirivu okuva mu bintu byonna, bye mwatasobola kuweebwa butuukirivu okuva mu byo mu mateeka ga Musa,” bwe bwali obubaka bwange. Era eky’ekyewuunyo gye ndi kwali nti buli musibe teyaggula amangwago, bwe yakiwulira, oluggi lw’ekkomera lye n’afuluma nga muntu wa ddembe.

Kyandabikira ng’obusirusiru obw’ekitalo omuntu yenna, mu maaso g’ekiragiro ekifaanana bwe kityo, okusookerera akaseera n’akamu. Lwaki beeraliikirira ebibi byabwe, Katonda bwe yali alangiridde mu bujjuvu nti Kristo yali yeetisse ebibi byabwe mu “mubiri gwe ku muti,” era n’abiggyawo emirembe gyonna?

Lwaki batya obusungu bwa Katonda, Bayibuli bwe yali atukakasizza nti “Katonda yali mu Kristo ng’atabaganya ensi ne Ye, nga tababalira bibi byabwe”? Okubuusabuusa n’okutya kuno kwonna okusaddaaza kwandabikira mu kiseera ekyo, era kwabadde kundabikira bulijjo okuva olwo, si kwokka ng’okutali kwa ddiini era ekivumo eri obwesigwa bwa Katonda, wabula era ng’obujulizi obw’okubulwa okunene okw’amagezi amalungi.

Katonda oba wa mazima, oba mulimba. Bwe nkkiriza nti wa mazima, kale amagezi amalungi gasaba nti nnyinza okukkiriza ebigambo bye ng’ebigambo eby’amazima, era nti nteekwa okuwummulira mu byo ng’amazima.

Ekimu ku bintu ebyansinga okunnyamba mu kiseera kino kaali katabo akayitibwa “The Fox Hunter” (Omuyizzi w’Ebibe) akaawandiikibwa César Malan. Kwali kunnyonnyola okusinga obweyu n’amagezi okw’okuweebwa obutuukirivu olw’okukkiriza kwe nnali nsanze, era kwankakasa awatali kubuusabuusa nti “obukakafu obw’okukkiriza” bwali, mu kiseera kye kimu, omusingi gwokka ogwa Bayibuli omuntu yenna gwe yandyesigamyeko, era n’omusingi gwokka ogw’amagezi ag’obulijjo. Ebibe mu katabo kano byali kwe kubuusabuusa, era omuyizzi yali mubuulizi eyabikwata n’abitta. Era enjigiriza yaako yonna yali nti Katonda bwe yagamba nti Kristo yaggyawo ebibi byaffe, kale mazima yali abikoze, era mazima byali bigenze, era kyali si busirusiru bwokka wabula n’okwewaggula gye tuli obutakikkiriza.

Nneebuuzanga bulijjo lwaki buli mubuulizi teyayogera mazima gano mu bweyu ne mu bujjuvu, tewabeewo n’omu ayinza okulemererwa okugategeera. Era nnawuliranga bwe ntyo n’amaanyi nti, buli lwe nnawuliranga okubuulira okwandabikanga ng’okuleka ensonga nga tekakafu oba nga esobeddwa, saatwala nga kintu okugenda eri ababuulizi oluvannyuma ne mbawakanya, kubanga tebaali babuulidde mu bweyu Enjiri ya Kristo.

Nkakasiddwa, nga nkyusa amaaso emabega kaakano, nti nteekwa okuba nga nneefuula omuntu asunguwaza ababuulizi baffe abaagalwa Abakwaka, abaabuuliranga — nga bwe njatula — mu nnaku ezo obutali bwa ngeri eno etegeerekeka. Naye amazima kwali nti ekyo kye nnali nzudde kyandabikira nga kya mugaso munene era gwe gusukkiridde nti tewaali kintu kirala kyandisaanidde kufugibwa kwa kaseera n’akamu. Okuba mu nsi ejjudde aboonoonyi, abaali batamanyi nti ebibi byabwe byali bisonyiyiddwa, era nti baali baana ba Katonda, era abaali bayinza okukimanya singa waaliwo omuntu okubabuulira, kyandabikira ng’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’amaanyi ennyo nti nnawulira nga mpalirizibbwa okukibuulira buli muntu gwe nnasobola okutuukako.

Mikwano abaakkakkamu abaagalwa tebaayinza kutegeera obunyiikivu obwenkanidde awo, era — mba nvumye — obw’obusirusiru, era okukyala kwange mu nnyumba zaabwe kwonna kwatiisibwa nnyo. Ne bannaze abaana ab’oluganda baali kumpi n’okutya nti nkyalire bannyinaze bennyini, era mu ngeri nnyingi nayita mu ngeri ey’okuyigganyizibwa, okwo mazima kye nneereetera nzennyini ekitundu ekinene olw’obunyiikivu bwange obutali bwa magezi, naye okwo mu kiseera ekyo kwandabikira ng’okufiirira amazima.

Sikitera kubaawo, ndowooza, nti olugero lw’Enjiri lujjira omuntu yenna nga bwe lwanjijira. Naye olw’ekyo nti, ng’Omukwaka, saali nfunye njigiriza ya nzikiriza, byonna bye nnali njiga ku bulokozi obuli mu Kristo byajja mu kumasamasa okutuukiridde okw’ekitangaala. Bayibuli yandabikira ng’amasamasa nnyo n’“amawulire amalungi ag’essanyu eddene,” era ne neewuunya nti buli muntu teyagalaba.

Olw’okuba saamanya kintu na kimu ku by’okutegeera Katonda, era saali nnawulirangako bigambo bya kutegeera Katonda byonna, olugero lw’Enjiri lwonna nnalutwala mu ngeri ey’amagezi ag’obulijjo esingayo obungi, ne nlukkiriza awatali kwekiika kwonna. Njogeranga bulijjo nti nnali ng’omusibe eyava mu kkomera ery’ekizikiza ery’omu ttaka n’ajja mu kitangaala eky’enjuba omutwalo. Era newaakubadde okugaana n’okuwakanya kwonna okw’Abakadde n’Abalabirizi mu Bakwaka, era n’okw’ab’omu maka gange, obunyiikivu bwange bwampeesa okuwulirizibwa, era kumpi buli mukwano gwe nnalina yajja, mu bbanga eritono, mu kumanya amazima ge nnali nkakasa, era mu ngeri emu oba endala ne yenyumiririza wamu nange.

N’olwekyo mpolampola okuwakanya ne kukendeera, era ku nkomerero, ne bwe kyali nti “Mikwano abanywevu” tebaayinza kunnyweza mu bujjuvu, wadde bwe kityo baandeka nga ndi wa ddembe okugenda mu maaso n’olugendo lwange awatali kutawaanyizibwa.

Awatali kubuusabuusa obukamba bw’endowooza zange bwali bweyolefu nnyo eri Abakristaayo ab’omwoyo abaali bakuze okusingawo abaali banneetoolodde, era nkakasiddwa kaakano nti ekitundu ekinene eky’okuwakanya kwe nnasanga kyava ku nsonga eno.

Naye ne bwe nnandyagadde endowooza zange zibe nga zikuze okusingawo, siyinza kwejjusa bunyiikivu obwannyiisa okuba omwesunge okubuulira buli muntu ekisinga obulungi kye nnamanya.

Era n’okuwakanya kwennyini kwali kya mukisa gye ndi, kubanga kwanjigiriza amasomo agatasoboka kutindibwa mu muwendo. Nnasanga ekitabo mu nnaku ezo, erinnya lyakyo — nga nnaku okwogera — nzeerabidde, ekyannyamba nnyo. Endowooza yaakyo eyasookera ddala yali nti ekimu ku birabo ebisinga obugagga Omukristaayo bye yandifunye kyali ekirabo eky’okuyigganyizibwa, era nti okufaanana Mukama waffe mu kugaanibwa abantu kwe kwali ekitiibwa ekisinga waggulu Omukristaayo kye yandituuseeko. Kyayigiriza nti oyo ye yali Omukristaayo asinga obukulu eyali yeetegefu okutwala ekifo ekisinga wansi, era nti okufuuka omukulu wa bonna kwandituukiriddwa kwokka okuyita mu kufuuka omuweereza wa bonna.

Nnakwatibwako nnyo enjigiriza eno nti nnagezaako okugissa mu nkola; era, buli lwe nnasuubira mu kukwana kwonna okusisinkana okunenyezebwa oba okuwakanyizibwa, nnasabanga n’obunyiikivu emabega nti mpeebwe okukikkiriza mu mwoyo ogw’Ekikristaayo ogw’amazima. Nnayambibwa nnyo, era, ekigambo kya Madame Guyon, nti yali ayize okwebaza olw’okunyoomebwa n’okuswazibwa kwonna, kubanga yali azudde nti byamuyamba okumutuusa mu maaso mu bulamu obw’omwoyo; era mu kiseera nnayiga ekintu ku somo lye limu.

Enkizo ey’enjawulo gye nnaggya mu kugaanibwa kwe nnasisinkana kwali nti kyaggyamu ekitundu ekinene eky’amalala mu nze. Nnakiseebwa munda ennyo nti nnali nkyamu era musirusiru ddala, era nti nnagumiikirizibwa kwokka olw’ekisa ky’emikwano gyange, nti mazima ku nkomerero nnajja okuba n’engeri ey’okuwulira okw’obuzaaliranwa nti saasaanira kintu kirala okuggyako okunyoomebwa n’okuvumibwa, era nti ekitali kya kisa kyonna kye nnandyolekeddwa kyali mugabo gwange ogutuufu. Mazima, nnayingira mu mpisa ey’obutasubiranga kintu kirala kyonna, ne nlekeraawo okulowooza nti nnalina eddembe lyonna abalala lye batasaanidde kulinnyirira.

Empisa eno ey’omutima empadde eddembe ery’omwoyo erisingayo obunene mu bulamu bwange bwonna okuva olwo, kubanga sirina we nnawalirizibwa, nga bwe kirabika ku bantu bangi, okuyimirira olw’eddembe lyange, era mazima kaakati sirina kutegeera kwa kulaba lwe nnyoomeddwa. Omuntu bw’ataba na ddembe, eddembe lye teriyinza kulinnyirirwa; era omuntu bw’ataba na nneewulira, nneewulira ze teziyinza kunyiigira. Isomo lino lyawandiikibwa munda mu mmeeme yange nnyo n’ekyo kye nnayitamu mu kiseera kye njogerako, nti ne leero mbeera bulijjo mwewuunya olw’ekisa kyonna kye nnolekebwa, ng’ekintu ekitasuubirwa ddala era ekitasaanira.

Simanyi somo lyonna lye nnayigako eryabadde ery’omugaso mu nkola ng’isomo lino, lye nnayiga mu kuwakanya kwe nnasisinkana mu myaka egy’olubereberye egy’obumanyirivu bwange obw’Ekikristaayo; wadde nga sirina kubuusabuusa, nga bwe njogedde, nti okugezesebwa kwange nkuleeta ekitundu ekinene ku nze nzennyini olw’obukamba bwange n’obutamanya bwange.

Ne bwe nnali omukambwe era atamanyi, kyokka, nga bwe njogedde, nnali nkutte nnyo amazima gamu ag’omusingi ag’ekitalo tewali kintu kyayinza kugakankanya, era gano gaali nti Katonda yali mu Kristo ng’atabaganya ensi ne Ye, nga tababalira bibi byabwe. Byonna byali biteredde wakati w’emmeeme yange ne Katonda. Yali Kitange, era nze nnali mwana we, era saalina kintu kya kutya. Tekyali nsonga nti nnali nkikutte mu ngeri ey’obukamba. Ekikulu kwali nti nnali nkikutte. Waali ago — amazima amakulu agasookera ddala ag’okwagala kwa Katonda n’okusonyiwa kwa Katonda — era emmeeme yange yali ewummudde ku kino emirembe gyonna.
