Yekka

Olunaku Amakumi asatu mu lumu. OKULINDIRIRA KATONDA: Yekka.

“Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka;

Kubanga okusuubira kwange kuva gy’ali.

Ye yekka lwe lwazi lwange n’obulokozi bwange.”—Zabbuli 62:5, 6.

Kisoboka okuba ng’olindirira Katonda obutakoma, naye nga si ye yekka; wayinza okubaawo obwesige obulala obw’ekyama obuyingirira ne buziyiza omukisa ogwali gusuubirwa. Era bwe kityo ekigambo yekka kiteekwa okujja okwakisa ekitangaala kyakyo ku kkubo eridda ku bujjuvu n’obukakafu obw’omukisa. “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka. Ye yekka lwe Lwazi lwange.”

Weewaawo, “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Waliwo Katonda omu yekka, ensulo emu yokka ey’obulamu n’essanyu eri omutima; Ye yekka lwe Lwazi lwange; emmeeme yange, mulindirire yekka. Oyagala okuba omulungi. “Tewali mulungi wabula Katonda,” era tewali bulungi busoboka wabula obwo obuweebwa butereevu okuva gy’ali. Onoonyezza okuba omutukuvu: “Tewali mutukuvu wabula Mukama,” era tewali butukuvu wabula obwo bw’assa mu ggwe olw’Omwoyo we ow’obutukuvu buli kaseera. Oyagala okubeera n’okukolera Katonda n’obwakabaka bwe, olw’abantu n’obulokozi bwabwe. Wulira bw’agamba nti, “Katonda Ataggwaawo, Omutonzi w’enkomerero z’ensi. Ye “yekka” tazirika, so takoowa. Awa amaanyi abazirise, n’abo abatalina buyinza abongera amaanyi. Abo abalindirira Mukama banaazzibwamu amaanyi.” Ye yekka ye Katonda; Ye yekka lwe Lwazi lwo: “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.”

“Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Tojja kusanga bangi abasobola okukuyamba mu kino. Wanaabaawo baganda bo abamala okukusika okuteeka obwesige mu kkanisa ne mu njigiriza, mu nteekateeka ne mu bikozesebwa by’abantu, mu ngeri ez’ekisa n’ebiragiro eby’obwakatonda. Naye, “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yennyini yekka.” Ebiragiro bye ebisinga obutukuvu bifuuka omutego bwe byesigibwamu. Omusota ogw’ekikomo gufuuka Nekusutani; essanduuko n’eyeekaalu ne bifuuka obwesige obwa bwereere. Leka Katonda Omulamu yekka, awatali muntu oba kintu kirala, abeere essuubi lyo.

“Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Amaaso n’emikono n’ebigere, omutwe n’ebirowoozo, biyinza okuba nga bimalidde ddala mu mirimu egy’obulamu buno; “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Oli mwoyo ogutafa, ogwatondebwa si lwa nsi eno wabula olw’obutaggwaawo era olwa Katonda. Ayi, emmeeme yange! Tegeera ekigendererwa kyo. Manya enkizo yo, era “mulindirire yekka.” Toleka kusanyusa kw’ebirowoozo n’emirimu egy’eddiini kukulimba; emirundi mingi bitwala ekifo eky’okulindirira Katonda. Emmeeme yange, lindirira ggwe, ggwe kennyini, obuntu bwo obw’omunda ennyo, n’amaanyi gaabwo gonna, “lindirira Katonda yekka.” Katonda ali ku lulwo, ggwe oli ku lwa Katonda; mulindirire yekka.

Weewaawo, “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Weekuume abalabe bo ababiri abanene—Ensi n’Ekyo Kye Ggwe. Weekuume okusanyuka kwonna oba okwesanyusa kw’ensi, ne bwe kulabika ng’okutaliimu bubi, kuleme kukuziyiza okugamba nti, “Nnaagenda eri Katonda, essanyu lyange erisukkiridde.” Jjukira era osome ekyo Yesu ky’agamba ku kwegaana, nti, “Omuntu yeegaane.” Tersteegen agamba nti: “Abatukuvu beegaana mu buli kimu.” Okwesanyusa mu bintu ebitono kuyinza okukinyweza ne kwerangirira mu bintu ebinene. “Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka;” leka abeere obulokozi bwo bwonna n’okwegomba kwo kwonna. Gamba obutakoma era n’omutima ogutaawukanye nti, “Okuva gy’ali kwe kuva okusuubira kwange; Ye yekka lwe Lwazi lwange; siinyeenyezebwe.” Ka kibe kyetaago kyo eky’omwoyo oba eky’ekiseera, ka kibe kwegomba oba kusaba kw’omutima gwo, ka kibe kye weemalira mu mulimu gwa Katonda mu Kkanisa oba mu nsi—mu kwekweka oba mu kutabaganyizibwa kw’ensi, mu kusinza okw’olujjudde oba mu nkuŋŋaana endala ez’abatukuvu, “Emmeeme yange, lindirira yekka Katonda.” Okusuubira kwo kuve gy’ali yekka. Ye yekka lwe Lwazi lwo.

“Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Toyerabira amazima abiri ag’omusingi okulindirira kuno okw’omukisa kwe kwesigama. Bw’oba oyagala okulowooza nti “okulindirira yekka” kuno kuzibu nnyo oba kwa waggulu nnyo, ganaakuzza amangu ago. Ge gano: obutayinza bwo obujjuvu; n’obumala obujjuvu obwa Katonda wo. Ayi! yingira mu buziba mu bubi obujjuvu obwa byonna ebiri ebibyo, so tolowooza kuleka byo kwogera kigambo na kimu akaseera na kamu. Yingira mu buziba mu butayinza bwo obujjuvu era obutakoma okukyusa ekibi ekiri mu ggwe, oba okuleeta ekintu kyonna ekirungi mu mwoyo. Yingira mu buziba mu nkolagana yo ey’okwesiga ng’ekitonde eri Katonda, okuweebwa okuva gy’ali buli kaseera ky’awa. Yingira mu buziba obusingawo mu ndagaano ye ey’okununula, n’ekisuubizo kye eky’okuzza mu kitiibwa ekisingawo ekyo kye wali ofiiriddwa, era olw’Omwana we n’Omwoyo we okuwa munda mu ggwe obutakoma, Obubaawo bwe n’Amaanyi ge ag’obwakatonda ddala. Era bw’otyo lindirira Katonda wo obutakoma era yekka.

“Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka.” Tewali bigambo bisobola kukyogera, tewali mutima gusobola kukirowooza, obugagga bw’ekitiibwa eky’ekyama kino ekya Kitaffe n’ekya Kristo. Katonda waffe, mu bukwatampola obutakoma n’amaanyi gonna ag’okwagala kwe, alindirira okuba Obulamu bwaffe n’Essanyu lyaffe. Ayi, emmeeme yange! kireme kwetaagisa nate nti nziremu ebigambo nti, “Lindirira Katonda,” wabula leka byonna ebiri mu nze bigolokoke era biyimbe nti: “Mu mazima emmeeme yange erindirira Katonda. Ggwe gwe ndindirira olunaku lwonna.”

“Emmeeme yange, lindirira Katonda yekka!”
