Omuzabbibu (Yokaana 15:5)

Nze muzabbibu, mmwe matabi—Yokaana 15:5

Mu lunyiriri oluvuddeko Kristo yali yakamala okugamba nti: “mubeere mu Nze.” Yali alangiridde etteeka eddene eritakyuka erifuga obulamu bwa buli ttabi, ku nsi oba mu ggulu: “ku bwalyo”; “nga teriri ku muzabbibu.” Mu bigambo ebisooka eby’olugero yali yayogera dda nti: “Nze muzabbibu.” Kaakano addamu ebigambo ebyo. Ayagala tutegeere — kwata bulungi essomo lino, newakubadde nga lirabika lyangu, kye kisumuluzo ky’obulamu obw’okubeera mu Ye — nti engeri yokka ey’okugondera ekiragiro, “mubeere mu Nze,” kwe kussa amaaso n’omutima ku Ye yennyini. “mubeere mu Nze...Nze muzabbibu ogw’amazima.” Weewaawo, yiga ekyama kino ekitukuvu okutuusa lw’onoolaba Kristo nga Ye Muzabbibu ogw’amazima, ogwetikka, ogugumya, ogugabira era oguzzaamu amaanyi amatabi gaagwo gonna, nga Ye y’abeera era y’akola mu buli ttabi byonna bye lyetaaga, era okubeera mu Ye kujja kwokka. Weewaawo, mwekalirize nga Ye Muzabbibu ogw’amazima, okutuusa lw’onootegeera nti kino kyama kya mu ggulu, era n’owalirizibwa okusaba Kitaffe akikubikkulire olw’Omwoyo we Omutukuvu. Oyo Katonda gw’abikkulira ekitiibwa ky’Omuzabbibu ogw’amazima, oyo alaba Yesu ky’ali era ky’alindirira okukola buli kaseera, tayinza butabeera mu Ye. Okulaba Kristo kusikiriza okutayinza kuziyizibwa; kutusika era kutukwata nga magineeti. Wuliriza bulijjo Kristo omulamu akyayogera naawe, era alindirira okukulaga amakulu n’amaanyi g’Ekigambo kye: “Nze muzabbibu.”

Nga kubadde kufuba kungi okukooya mu kugezaako okutegeera okubeera mu Ye kye kuli, n’okufuba kungi okutaliimu bibala mu kugezaako okukutuukako! Lwaki kyali bwe kityo? Kubanga amaaso gaali gatunuulidde okubeera ng’omulimu gwe tulina okukola, mu kifo ky’okutunuulira Kristo omulamu, mwe twalina okukuumirwa nga tubeera, era Ye yennyini eyalina okutukwata n’okutukuuma. Twalowooza nti okubeera mu Ye kufuba n’okwerumya okutakoma — ne twerabira nti kitegeeza okuwummula okuva mu kufuba eri oyo azudde ekifo kye eky’okubeeramu. Weetegereze nga Kristo bwe yagamba nti, “Mubeere mu Nze; Nze Muzabbibu oguleeta ebibala, ogukwata, ogugumya era ogubaza amatabi. Mubeere mu Nze, muwummulire mu Nze, mundeke nkole omulimu gwange. Nze Muzabbibu ogw’amazima; byonna bye ndi, bye njogera ne bye nkola mazima ga Katonda, agaleeta ekyo ekyogeddwa okubaawo ddala. Nze Muzabbibu; kkiriza bukkiriza, ompe byonna by’olina, nange ndikola byonna mu ggwe.”

Era bwe kityo oluusi kibaawo nti emyoyo egitalowoozanga nnyo ku ky’okubeera mu Ye, giba nga gibeera mu Ye ebbanga lyonna, kubanga gyemalidde ku Kristo. Si kuba nti ekigambo okubeera tekyetaagisa; Kristo yakikozesa emirundi mingi, kubanga kye kisumuluzo kyennyini eky’obulamu bw’Omukristaayo. Naye ayagala tukitegeere mu makulu gaakyo ag’amazima: “Va mu buli kifo ekirala, ne mu buli kwesiga kulala na buli kikutwala kirala, va mu ggwe wennyini n’okulowooza kwo n’okufuba kwo, jjangu owummulire mu ekyo kye ndikola. Beera mulamu ebweru wa ggwe wennyini; beera mu Nze. Manya nti oli mu Nze; teweetaaga kirala; sigala omwo mu Nze.”

“Nze muzabbibu.” Kristo teyakweka kyama kino abayigirizwa be. Yakibabikkulira, okusooka mu bigambo wano, oluvannyuma mu maanyi Omwoyo Omutukuvu bwe yakka. Naffe alikitubikkulira, okusooka mu birowoozo, mu kwatula ne mu kwegomba ebigambo bino bye bizuukusa, oluvannyuma mu maanyi olw’Omwoyo. Ka tumulindirire atulage amakulu gonna ag’omu ggulu ag’ekyama kino. Buli lunaku, mu kiseera kyaffe eky’ekisirise, mu kisenge eky’omunda nga tuli naye n’Ekigambo kye, ekirowoozo kyaffe n’ekigendererwa kyaffe ekikulu kibe okunywereza omutima ku Ye, nga tukakasa nti: byonna omuzabbibu bye guyinza okukolera amatabi gaagwo, Mukama wange Yesu alibinkolera, era abinkolera kaakano. Muwe ebiseera, muwe okutu kwo, akwogerere mpola era akunnyonnyole ekyama ky’obwakatonda: “Nze muzabbibu.”

Okusinga byonna, jjukira nti Kristo ye Muzabbibu Katonda gwe yasimba, naawe oli ttabi Katonda lye yayunga. Bulijjo yimirira mu maaso ga Katonda, mu Kristo; bulijjo lindirira ekisa kyonna okuva eri Katonda, mu Kristo; bulijjo weewaayo okubala ebibala ebisingawo Omulimi by’asaba, mu Kristo. Era saba nnyo okubikkulirwa ekyama kino nti okwagala kwonna n’amaanyi gonna aga Katonda agaali ku Kristo, gakolera ne mu ggwe. Yesu agamba nti, “Nze Muzabbibu gwa Katonda; byonna bye ndi mbirina okuva gy’ali; byonna bye ndi bya ggwe; Katonda alibikola mu ggwe.”

Nze muzabbibu. Mukama Omutendereze, kyogere ekigambo ekyo mu mwoyo gwange. Olwo ndimanya nti obujjuvu bwo bwonna bwange. Era nti nsobola okukwesiga okubukulukusa mu nze, era nti okubeera kwange mu Ggwe kwangu nnyo era kukakafu nnyo, bwe nneerabira ne nneebulira ddala mu kukkiriza okusinza nti Omuzabbibu gukwata ettabi era gulituusaako buli kye lyetaaga.
