Okwebuuza

Mu myaka gyonna gye njogerako, Ab’oluganda ab’e Plymouth baali, nga bwe njogedde, mu bayigiriza bange abakulu. Naye natandika mpolampola okuzuula ebintu ebimu mu njigiriza yaabwe bye nnali sisobola kukkiriza; era kino kyali naddala ku Bukalivini bwabwe obw’ekisukkiridde.

Bulijjo wababangawo, nzikiriza, enjawukana mu ndowooza wakati waabwe ku ndaba eno; naye abo be nnaweebwa okubeera nabo baakwatirira nnyo enzikiriza nti abantu abamu baali “balondeddwa” eri obulokozi, era abamu baali balondeddwa eri “okuzikirizibwa,” era nti tewaali kya muntu kyonna omuntu ky’ayinza okukola ekyandikyusizza ebiragiro bino ebitaggwaawo. Ffe, mazima, twali mu abo abaalondebwa eri obulokozi, era ku kino twayigirizibwa okwebaza ennyo.

Nnagezaako nnyo okukkiriza kino. Kyandabikira nga kizibu okukkiriza nti abo abaali banjigirizza bingi bwe bityo baali bayinza okukyamira ku nsonga enkulu bwe etyo. Naye emmeeme yange yagenda ekyejeemera nnyo n’okusingawo. Nnandibadde mumativu ntya nga mmanyi nti nze nzennyini nnali nkakasa Eggulu, ng’emmeeme endala ez’ennaku, ezaali zisaanira mu ngeri y’emu, naye ezaali zitafunye mikisa gyange, zaali “zalondeddwa,” awatali musango gwazo zennyini, wabula mu biragiro ebitaggwaawo ebya Katonda, eri “okuzikirizibwa”? Enjigiriza ng’eyo yandabikira ng’etakwatagana ddala n’ekirango eky’okusonyiwa ekyali kinsikirizza bwe kityo. Saayinza kuzuula kkomo lyonna mu kirango kino, era saayinza kukkiriza nti waaliyo obukomo bwonna obw’ekyama mu birowoozo bya Katonda eyakikola.

So saayinza kulaba engeri Omutonzi gy’ayinza okuba ow’obwenkanya, ne bw’aba nga si wa kwagala, mu kuwaayo ebitonde ebimu Ye yennyini, so si mulala yenna, bye yatonda, eri okubonaabona okutaggwaawo okw’omuliro, ka bibe boonoonyi abanene nga bwe biyinza okuba. Nnawulira nti singa enjigiriza eno eba nga ya mazima, nnandinakuwazibbwa nnyo mu Katonda oyo gwe nnali nzudde, n’essanyu eringi bwe lityo.

Ate era saayinza kulemererwa kulaba nti, mu butuufu, buli omu ku ffe yali kitonde eky’embeera ez’atwetoolodde — nti kye twali, n’ekyo kye twakola, mu ngeri emu oba endala kyali kivudde ku ngeri z’emmeeme zaffe, ku mpisa ze twasikira, ku bantu abaatwetoolodde, ne ku buyigirize bwaffe; era nti, olw’okuba bino byonna byali biteekeddwateekeddwa Katonda ku lwaffe, emirundi mingi nga tetulina buyinza kubikyusa, tekyandibadde kya bwenkanya eri Katonda eyatuteeka wakati waabyo okubireka ne bisalawo ebiribaawo mu maaso gaffe eby’emirembe gyonna.

Ng’engeri ey’okudduka enjigiriza ey’okubonaabona okutaggwaawo, olubereberye nnakkiriza enjigiriza ey’okumalibwawo kw’ababi, era okumala akaseera akatono ne ngezaako okwewulizaamu ne nkkiriza nti obulamu buno bwe bwali buwaayo byonna gye bali. Naye gye nnasingira okukirowoozaako, gye kyasingira okundabikira nti kyandibadde kwatula kw’okulemererwa okunene ku luuyi lw’Omutonzi, singa yalemererwa okuzuula ekkubo ery’okuva mu buzibu obw’obutonde bwe okuggyako okumalawo ebitonde bye yali atonze.

Awatali kutegeera, omu ku baana bange yampa ekyokulabirako kya kino. Yanzuukusa lumu ku makya okuntegeeza nti yali agalamidde ku kitanda ng’asanyuka nnyo mu kwefuula nti yali akoze omusajja. Yannyonnyola langi y’enviiri ze n’amaaso ge, ekifaananyi kye, obuwanvu bwe, amaanyi ge, amagezi ge, n’ebintu byonna ebikulu bye yali agenda okukola, era yali munyiikivu nnyo mu ssanyu lye eryeyolefu ery’essanyu ery’okutonda. Bwe yamala okubala engeri zonna ez’ekitalo ez’omusajja we, ne mugamba nti: “Naye, mwana wange, singa afuuka mubi; singa akola akabi n’alumya abantu, n’aleetera ebintu okugwa bubi, wandikoze ki olwo?”

“Owange,” n’agamba, “sandibadde na buzibu bwonna; nandimulagidde okugalamira ne mmutemako omutwe.”

Amangwago ne ndaba ekyokulabirako ekirungi ekyo bwe kyali eky’obuvunaanyizibwa bw’Omutonzi, era ne kinzijukiza olugero olw’entiisa lwa Mrs. Shelley olw’omukozi w’emikono Frankenstein, eyakola ekifaananyi eky’entiisa eky’omusajja, ekyo, bwe kyaggwa, amangwago, ku ntiisa ye, ne kifuuka ekiramu, ne kifuluma mu nsi, nga kikola akabi buli we kyalaga. Omukozi eyatiisibwa yawulira ng’awalirizibwa okugoberera omulimu gw’emikono gye buli wantu, okusobola okugezaako okuzzaawo akatono ku kabi akaali kakoleddwa, n’okutereeza nga bw’asobola ebibi bye kyaleeta.

Okuwulira okw’entiisa okw’obuvunaanyizibwa okwamutuulako, olw’ebintu ebyakolebwa ekitonde kye yali atonze, kwazibula amaaso gange okulaba obuvunaanyizibwa Katonda bwe teyandyeewalidde kuwulira, singa ebitonde bye yali atonze byafuuka bibi. Saayinza kukkiriza nti yandibibonyaabonyezza emirembe gyonna; so saayinza kuwummulira mu ndowooza ey’okumalibwawo ng’eddagala lye erisinga obulungi ery’ekibi.

Nnawulira nga ssaddaaki wa kutabaganya kwagala n’obwenkanya bw’Omutonzi n’enkomerero y’ebitonde bye, era saamanya luuyi lwa kukyukira. Naye okununulibwa kwali kumpi, era ekiseera ekyokusatu mu bumanyirivu bwange obw’Ekikristaayo kyali kunaatera okukya.
