Kwali Kuzuula, So si Kutuukako

Nate njagala okuddamu okukiraga bulungi ddala: ekyanjijira kwali kuzuula, si kutuukako. Ssaafuuka mangu mukazi asinga obulungi. Nnategeera bumbunte nti Kristo yali Mulokozi asinga obulungi ennyo okusinga bwe nnali ndowoozezza. Ssaali nsobola kuwangula kukemebwa kwange okusinga bwe nnali edda — naye nnali nzudde nti ye yali asobola, era nga yeetegese, okukuwangula ku lwange. Ssaalina magezi na butuukirivu bwange nze nnyini, naye nnali njize ku nkomerero nti ye yali ayinza okunfuukira ddala — nga bw'Omutume yalangirira — amagezi, obutuukirivu, okutukuzibwa, n'okununulibwa.

Sirijjerabira omulundi ogusooka lwe nnazuula nti kino tekyali kigambo kirungi kyokka, wabula kya mazima, ekikola.

Nga tewannayita bbanga ddene nga naaka ntandika okukwata okujjuvu kw'obulokozi bwa Kristo, nnategeera nti waaliwo omuntu eyali ampakanya nnyo naddala eyali ajja okubeera mu nnyumba yaffe wiiki bbiri. Bulijjo yali ansunguwaza era nga muzibu. Ekiseera bwe kyasembera, nnawulira nga nkakasa nti singa nnamuyisa mu ngeri ey'obu Kristo, nnandyetaaze obugumiikiriza obungi ennyo okusinga bwe nnalina bulijjo.

Nga nkyali muggya mu bulamu obw'okukkiriza, nnateebereza nti ekkubo lyokka ery'okufuna obugumiikiriza obumala kwali kubuwakanira mu kusaba. Ennaku zange zaali za mirimu mingi nnyo, kyennava nsalawo okuwaayo ekiro kyonna eri okulwanagana kuno okw'omwoyo. Ab'omu maka bwe baagenda okwebaka, nneesibira mu kisenge kyange, ne nzireeta essowaani ya bisukaali singa nnaalumwa enjala, ne mfukamira ku kitanda kyange nga nneetegese olutalo olw'ekiro kyonna. Nnawulira ng'omuzira, kubanga essaawa ennyingi mu kusaba bulijjo zaankooyanga; naye olwokubanga nnali nneetaaga nnyo etterekero ery'obugumiikiriza, nnalowooza nti kuno kwe kkubo lyokka ery'okulufuna. Nnasuubira ekintu ekifaanana "ekifunfugu" ekinene eky'obugumiikiriza okuteekebwa mu mutima gwange — etterekero mwe nnandimenyereddeko ebitundu buli lwe nnaakyetaaga.

Naye amaviivi gange bwe gaali gaakakwata wansi, Ekyawandiikibwa ekimanyiddwa ne kimyansa mu birowoozo byange: "Naye ku bwe muli mu Kristo Yesu, eyafuuka gye tuli okuva eri Katonda amagezi, n'obutuukirivu, n'okutukuzibwa, n'okununulibwa… oyo eyeenyumiriza, yeenyumirize mu Mukama."

"Yee!" nnaleekaana munda. "Era ekyo kiteekwa okuli n'obugumiikiriza nakyo!"

Amangwago nnasituka okuva ku maviivi gange n'obugumu obutuukiridde nti ssaali nneetaaga kukuŋŋaanya tterekero lya bugumiikiriza olubereberye. Mu kifo ky'ekyo, nnayinza obutunuulira Mukama olw'ebiweebwa eby'okaakano buli obwetaavu lwe bwajjanga. Nnalaba Kristo ng'etterekero eddene, eritaggwaawo, erisimattuse bulijjo, erijjudde bulijjo — eriwaayo ekisa kyennyini ekyetaagisa mu kaseera kennyini we kaali keetaagisa. Era amangwago kyalabika ng'ekitaliimu makulu okunneetikkanga ebisawo eby'ekisa mu nsawo zange ez'omwoyo, ebyo — ne bwe nnandibisobodde okubikuŋŋaanya — byandibuze mu kaseera kennyini we nnaali mbyetaagira ennyo.

Nga bwe kisuubirwa, okukkiriza okwo kwaddibwamu ddala. Omugenyi wange yeeraga okuba asunguwaza okusinga bulijjo, naye obugumiikiriza ne bunjijira buli kaseera ne kaseera — bulijjo obumala ddala olw'akaseera akaliwo.

Ekyewuunyisa okusinga obugumiikiriza bwennyini kwali kwe kuzuula kwe nnali nkoze: etterekero ery'ekisa kya Katonda lisimattuse bulijjo, era ebiweebwa bye bibeerawo bulijjo eri abaana be.

Abantu abamu bandiyita obugumiikiriza bwange "kutuukako." Naye nnali situuseeko kintu. Nnali nzudde bumbunte ekiweebwa kya Katonda ne nkikwata olw'okukkiriza, essaawa ku ssaawa, nga buli ssaawa bwe yeetaaga.

Bwe kikendeezebwa ku ngeri yaakyo esingira ddala okuba ennyangu, okuzuula kwange kwe kuno: Mu Kristo mulimu ekiweebwa ekituukiridde eri buli bwetaavu, era okukkiriza kwokka kwe mukutu ekiweebwa ekyo kwe kiyita. Okulwanagana tekuyinza kukireeta. Okuwakanira tekuyinza kukireeta. Okweraliikirira n'okubonaabona tebiyinza kukireeta. Okukkiriza bulijjo kunaakireeta. Okukkiriza bulijjo kukikola.

Kirabika ng'okutegeera okwangu bwe kutyo — omuntu yandilowoozezza nti omukkiriza yenna asoma Baibuli yandikimanyi amangwago. Naye nze ssaakimanya, ne nga wayiseewo emyaka mwenda egy'okuyiga okw'obwegendereza n'okufuba okw'amaanyi. Era bwe nnakizuula ku nkomerero, kyakyusa obulamu bwange.

Tewaali kya kyama kyonna ku kyo. Tekyali kintu ekyayongerwa ku njiri — kyali makulu ga njiri ag'amazima. Kristo yajja, okusinziira ku Byawandiikibwa, okutuukiriza ebintu ebimu; okuzuula kwange kwali bumbunte nti ye yali ayinza okwesigibwa ddala okubituukiriza. Era bwe kiba nga kya mazima, kale ddala abo abaagala ebintu bino bituukirizibwe basaana okubikwasa Oyo eyeetisse omulimu.

Gye ndi, kino kyalabika — era kikyalabika — nga si kutuukako kwa mwoyo kwa njawulo, wabula magezi ga bulijjo amangu, agakola. Bwe mpangisa omuzimbi okuzimba ennyumba, kiba lwa kubanga amanyi okuzimba nga nze simanyi. Sitwala kumukwasa mulimu ng'ekintu kya "kutuukako" kinene ku lwange — kya magezi bwokka. Bwe ntuuka ku mugga oguwuuma ne nsanga olutindo, sitwala kugusomoka nga kutuukako — nkozesa bumbunte ekyo ekituwereddwa.

Olw'ensonga eno, nsinga okwagala ekigambo birabo okusinga kutuukako. Okutuukako kutegeeza omulimu gwange n'okufuba kwange; naye ebisa ebya Kikristaayo birabo bya bwereere okuva eri Katonda. Abo "abafuga mu bulamu" si abo abalinnya ku ntikko ennene olw'okufuba kwabwe, wabula abo abaweebwa ekisa ekingi n'ekirabo eky'obutuukirivu. Obanga Katonda teyalekayo Mwana we, wabula yamuwaayo ku lwaffe ffenna, alitulema atya okutuwa n'ebintu byonna awamu naye ku bwa buwa?

Okuzuula nti ebintu byonna mazima byaffe si kutuukako — kwe kuzuula okw'ekitiibwa. Era emmeeme yonna ezuula obugagga bwe butyo yandibuze ddala amagezi ag'obutakwata ku kyonna ky'eyetaaga.

Tewali malayika ayinza kunnyonnyola bulungi okuzuula kuno kye kwantegeeza. Naye kimala okugamba nti obulamu bwakyusibwa. Awo okuwaŋŋulwa n'okulemererwa we kwafuganga edda, obuwanguzi n'okuwangula ne bufuuka obumanyirivu bwange obwa buli lunaku era obwa buli ssaawa — buli lwe nnasalawo okubikwata olw'okukkiriza. Ssaali nate muddu wa kibi, awalirizibwa okukigondera ne bwe nnakikyawanga, wabula nnali nnyingidde mu ddembe Kristo ly'awa, nga sikyasibiddwa njegere enkadde.

Nnali neerowoozezza nga musanyufu edda, naye kaakano essanyu lyange lyali lisukka ebigambo. Oluusi kyandabikira nti n'Eggulu lyennyini teryandiyinzizza kuwa kisingawo. Songa essanyu lino teryali lisibuka mu nze, so si mu kutuukako kwange kwonna — kubanga ssaalina n'akamu. Lyali ssanyu mu Mukama.

Nnategeera, ku nkomerero, ebigambo bya nnabbi nti: "Ow'amagezi aleme kwenyumiriza mu magezi ge, newaakubadde ow'amaanyi mu maanyi ge, newaakubadde omugagga mu bugagga bwe; naye oyo eyeenyumiriza, yeenyumirize mu kino: nti antegeera era ammanyi."

Ssaalina magezi, ssaalina maanyi, ssaalina bugagga mu nze — naye nnali njiga okumanya Mukama, era mu ye nnayinza okwenyumiriza n'omutima gwange gwonna.

"Kale okwenyumiriza kuli ludda wa?" bw'abuuza Omutume.

"Kuggyiddwawo… olw'etteeka ery'okukkiriza."

Emmeeme etaliiko kutuukako teyinza kwenyumiriza mu yo yennyini; era emmeeme efuna byonna bwa buwa okuva eri Mukama teyinza butenyumiriza mu ye.

"Kubanga olw'ekisa mwalokolebwa olw'okukkiriza… si ku bwammwe… si lwa bikolwa, omuntu yenna aleme okwenyumiriza."

"Tebaafuna nsi na kitala kyabwe, so n'omukono gwabwe tegwabalokola; wabula omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, ai Mukama, n'ekitangaala eky'amaaso go."

Buno bwe bwali obumanyirivu bwange. Era n'omutima gwange gwonna nnayinza okuddamu ebigambo bya Muzabbuli nti: "Mu Katonda mwe twenyumiririza olunaku lwonna, era tutendereza Erinnya lye emirembe gyonna."
