Kristo Ow’Omuwendo eri Abakkiriza

“Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza.”—1 Peetero 2:7.

EBIGAMBO BINO binzijukiza entandikwa y’obuweereza bwange. Wayiseewo nga emyaka munaana kasookedde, nga ndi mulenzi ow’emyaka kkumi na mukaaga, ne nnimuka omulundi ogusooka mu bulamu bwange okubuulira enjiri mu kasiisira eri abantu abaavu abatono abaali bakuŋŋaanidde okusinza. Nnawulira obunafu bwange okubuulira, naye ne ngezaako okuddira ekyawandiikibwa kino nti, “Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza.” Sirowooza nti nnandyogedde ku kyawandiikibwa kirala kyonna, naye Kristo yali wa muwendo eri emmeeme yange, era nga ndi mu bbugumu bw’okwagala kwange okw’obuvubuka, so nga siyinza kusirika Yesu ow’omuwendo bwe yali omulamwa. Nnali naaka okuwona mu buddu bwa Misiri, nga sinnaba na kwerabira olujegere olwamenyese; nga nkyajjukira ennimi z’omuliro ezaali ziri ng’ezyokya mu kkubo lyange, n’obuwogero obwo obumira obwayasaamiza akamwa kaabwo ng’akaali kumpi okunsanyaawo. Nga ebintu bino byonna bikyali biggya mu mutima gwange ogw’obuvubuka, nnasobola okwogera ku bulungi bwe, oyo eyali Omulokozi wange, eyanzigya ng’ekyokerezi okuva mu muliro, n’anteeka ku lwazi, n’ateeka oluyimba oluggya mu kamwa kange, n’anyweza amakubo gange. Kaakano, mu kiseera kino kiki kye nnaayogera? “Katonda ky’akoze!” Engeri ki akatono gye kafuuse olukumi, n’akatono ne kafuuka eggwanga eddene? Era kiki kye nnaayogera ku kyawandiikibwa kino, wabula nti oba Mukama waffe Yesu yali wa muwendo edda, era wa muwendo n’okutuusa kaakano? Era oba nnasobola okwatula edda nti Yesu ye yali omulamwa gw’okwegomba kw’emmeeme yange, nti ku bw’oye nnasuubira okuba omulamu, era ku bw’oye nnandyetegese okufa, siyinza kwogera, nga Katonda ye mujulizi wange, nti wa muwendo gye ndi leero okusinga bwe yali edda lyonna? Nga nzijukira okusaasira kwe okutalinnako kwenkanankana eri omwonoonyi asingayo, kiŋŋwanidde okwewaayo buggya gye ali, era okuwaayo omutima gwange buggya eri oyo Mukama era Kabaka.

Ekigambo kino nkyogedde ng’ennyanjula; kiyinza okulabika ng’eky’okwekulumbaza, naye ekyo sisobola kukiziyiza. Kiŋŋwanidde okuwa Katonda ekitiibwa wakati mu kkuŋŋaaniro eddene, era okusasula obweyamo bwange eri Mukama kaakano wakati mu batukuvu be bonna, wakati mu ggwe, ayi Yerusaalemi.

Ekyawandiikibwa kyange kyogera ku nsonga entuufu, kwe kugamba nti, Kristo wa muwendo eri abakkiriza. Kino kye kinaaba ekitundu ekisooka eky’okwogera kwaffe; oluvannyuma mu kyokubiri tujja kugezaako okuddamu ekibuuzo kino, lwaki Yesu Kristo wa muwendo bw’atyo eri abantu be abamukkiriza? Era tunaamaliriza nga twogera ku kigezo kye musobola okwekeberamu obanga muli bakkiriza oba nedda; kubanga bwe muba abakkiriza mu Kristo, olwo Kristo aba wa muwendo gye muli, naye bwe mumutwala nga wa wansi, olwo mumanye ddala nti temulina kukkiriza kwa mazima okulokola mu ye.

I. Okusooka, eno nsonga ntuufu, nti ERI ABAKKIRIZA YESU KRISTO WA MUWENDO. Mu ye yennyini wa muwendo ogutategeerekeka, kubanga ye Katonda ddala ava mu Katonda ddala. Ate era muntu atuukiridde atalina kibi. Embaawo ey’omuwendo eya gofeeri ey’obuntu bwe eribikkiddwako zaabu omulongoofu ow’obwakatonda bwe. Ye kirombe eky’amayinja ag’omuwendo, era lusozi lwa mayinja ag’enjawulo. Ye mulungi ddala okutuukirira, naye, zisanze! ensi eno enzibe amaaso teraba bulungi bwe. Obwamalaaya obusiige amabala obwa Madamu Bubble, ensi esobola okubulaba, era abantu bonna bamugoberera nga beewuunya. Obulamu buno, essanyu lyabwo, okwegomba kwabwo, amagoba gaabwo, ekitiibwa kyabwo,—bino birina obulungi mu maaso g’omuntu atazaalibbwa mulundi gwakubiri, naye mu Kristo talabamu kintu kya kwewuunya. Awulira erinnya lye ng’ekigambo ekya bulijjo, era atunuulira omusaalaba gwe ng’ekintu ky’atalinaamu mugaso, anyooma enjiri ye, avuma Ekigambo kye, ate oboolyawo afuka obukyayi obungi ku bantu be. Naye si bwe kiri eri omukkiriza. Omuntu aleeteddwa okumanya nti Kristo gwe musingi gwokka emmeeme kw’eyinza okuzimba ennyumba yaayo ey’olubeerera, oyo ayigiriziddwa nti Yesu Kristo ye wa ku ntandikwa era ye wa ku nkomerero, ye Alufa era ye Omega, ye nnannyini kukkiriza era ye akutuukiriza, tatwala Kristo nga wa wansi. Amuyita bulokozi bwe bwonna era kwegomba kwe kwonna; oyo yekka ow’ekitiibwa era omulungi.

Kaakano, eno nsonga ekakasibbwa mu mirembe gyonna egy’ensi. Tunuulira entandikwa y’okulabika kwa Kristo ku nsi. Weewaawo, tuyinza n’okuddayo emabega ne twetegereza engeri Kristo gye yali wa muwendo mu kusuubirwa eri abo abaali abalamu nga tannaba kufuuka muntu; naye njogera nti, kasookedde ajja mu nsi, tulina obukakafu bungi butya nti wa muwendo eri abantu be! Waaliwo abantu abaali tebagaana kwawukana na nnyumba zaabwe, n’ettaka, ne bakyala baabwe, n’abaana baabwe, n’ensi yaabwe, n’ettutumu lyabwe, n’ekitiibwa kyabwe, n’obugagga bwabwe, weewaawo, n’obulamu bwennyini, ku bwa Kristo. Kristo yali asikiriza bw’atyo Abakristaayo ab’edda, nti bwe kyabagwaniranga okwesuula ku busika bwabwe n’obugagga bwabwe obw’ensi ku bw’oye, baakikola nga basanyufu awatali kwemulugunya. Weewaawo, baayinza okugamba nti ebintu ebyali amagoba baabibala nga bufaafaganya ku bwa Kristo, era baabitwala nga masengere na busa bwe baayinzanga okufuna Kristo ne balabika mu ye.

Twogera ku bintu bino nga bya bwereere, naye bino tebyali biweebwayo bitono. Omuntu okuleka munne ow’omu kifuba kye, okunyoomebwa oyo eyandimuwadde ekitiibwa, okuwandulirwako amalusu abaana be ye, okugobebwa bannansi be, n’erinnya lye okuyogerwako ng’eky’okusoozibwa, n’eky’okuvumibwa, n’olugero olw’okusekererwa; kino si kyangu kugumira; ate nga Abakristaayo ab’emirembe egisooka baasitula omusaalaba guno, so si kugutwala gwokka n’obugumiikiriza, naye baaligutwala n’essanyu; nga basanyukira mu kubonaabona, singa okubonaabona okwo kwabatuukako ku bwa Kristo n’enjiri. Weewaawo, okusinga kino, Setaani yakkirizibwa okugolola omukono gwe n’akwata ku bantu ba Kristo, si mu bintu byabwe ne mu maka gaabwe gokka, naye ne mu magumba gaabwe ne mu mubiri gwabwe. Era laba engeri abayigirizwa ba Kristo gye baabalira nti tewali kintu kya kufiirwa, baleme okufiirwa Kristo. Nga bagololwa ku kyuma eky’okubonyaabonyeza, ebinywa byabwe ebinuubulwa byabaleetera kuyimba nnyo okusingawo, ng’enkoba z’ennanga, ezitereezebwa lwe zigololwa okutuuka ku buwanvu bwazo obw’ekkomo. Baabonyaabonyezebwa n’ebyuma ebyokya n’amakansi; emigongo gyabwe gyalimibwa n’embooko, naye ddi lwe walaba omu ku bagoberezi ba Kristo ab’amazima ng’atya mu kiseera eky’obulumi? Baagumira bino byonna, ne basoomooza ababayigganya okukola ebisingawo, n’okuyiiya amagezi amaggya n’enkwe, n’obukambwe obuggya, ne bagezese. Kristo yali wa muwendo nnyo, nti obulumi bwonna obw’omubiri tebwayinza kubaleetera kumwegaana, era oluvannyuma bwe baatwalibwa okufa okw’ensonyi—ka embazzi n’ekipande, ka omusaalaba ogw’okukomererwa, ka effumu, ka omuliro n’ekikondo, ka embalaasi ey’omu nsiko n’eddungu bijulire nti omukkiriza bulijjo yabanga muntu, ayinza okubonaabona buno bwonna, n’okusingawo nnyo, naye atayinza kwegaana bwesige bwe mu Kristo. Tunuulira Polukaapo mu maaso g’empologoma, bwe yaleetebwa wakati mu lukuŋŋaana, ne kimusabibwa okwegaana Katonda we. Amaaso enkumi n’enkumi ag’obukambwe gaamutunuulira wansi, era n’ayimirira awo, omuntu omunafu, yekka mu kifo eky’okulwaniramu, naye n’abagamba nti “amaze emyaka mingi ng’amanyi Mukama we, era teyali amunyiiza n’akatono, era taamwegaane ku nkomerero.” “Muteeke eri empologoma!” ne baleekaana, “Eri empologoma!” era empologoma ne zimufubutukirako, era n’alyibwa mangu; naye bino byonna yandibigumidde mu bumwa bw’empologoma olukumi, singa yandibadde n’obulamu olukumi, okusinga okulowooza ekintu ekibi kyonna ku Bukulu bwa Yesu ow’e Nazaleesi. Ebyafaayo byonna eby’ekkanisa ya Kristo ey’edda, bikakasa nti Yesu yabanga ekintu abantu be kye baassangaamu ekitiibwa ekisingayo; nti tewali kye baamugerageranyaako, naye n’essanyu n’obwangu, awatali kwemulugunya wadde okulowooza, baawaayo byonna ku bwa Yesu Kristo, era ne basanyukira okukikola.

Era kino kya mazima leero nga bwe kyali edda. Singa enkya ekikondo kissibwa mu Sumisifiirudi, abantu ba Kristo beetegese okuba enku ez’omuliro. Singa nate ekipande kissibwa ku lusozi Tawa, n’embazzi n’eggyibwa mu kifo we yakwekebwa, emitwe gy’abantu ba Kristo gyandiweereddwayo n’essanyu, singa kiyinzika okutikkira omutwe gwa Yesu engule n’okukakasa ensonga ye. Abo aboogera nti obuzira obw’edda obw’ekkanisa buweddewo, tebamanyi kye boogera. Ekkanisa eyeeyita ekkanisa oboolyawo efiiriddwa amaanyi gaayo ag’obusajja; abeeyita bakkiriza ab’ennaku zino oboolyawo bakaddiddiŋŋana abanafu, ezzadde lya bakitaabwe ab’ekitiibwa; naye ekkanisa ey’amazima, abalonde abaggibwa mu kkanisa eyeeyita ekkanisa, ekitundu ekifisseewo Katonda ky’alonze, bakwatiddwa Yesu okwenkanankana n’abatukuvu be ab’edda, era beetegefu okubonaabona n’okufa. Tusoomooza omuliro n’omubaka gwagwo omulamu, Ruumi eyennyini ey’edda; ka azimbe obunnya bwe obw’ekkomera, ka azzeeyo okwekenneenya kwe, ka afune nate obuyinza mu gavumenti okusala, n’okutemaatema, n’okwokya; tukyayinza okugumira emmeeme zaffe n’obugumiikiriza. Oluusi tuwulira ng’ekyandibadde ekintu ekirungi singa ennaku ez’okuyigganya zizzeewo, okugezesa ekkanisa nate, n’okugoba ebisusunku, n’okugifuula ng’entuumo ennungi ey’eŋŋaano, nga nnongoofu era nnzige. Amatabi amavundu ag’ekibira gayinza okukankana olw’omuyaga, kubanga galyerwa; naye ago agalimu omubisi tegikankana. Emirandira gyaffe gyekunkumuliddwa ku Lwazi olw’Emirembe, n’omubisi gwa Kristo gukulukuta munda mu ffe, era tuli matabi ag’omuzabbibu omulamu, so tewali kirituvaako. Tumanyi nti wadde kuyigganyizibwa, wadde njala, wadde kuba bwereere, wadde kabi, wadde kitala, tewali kiritwawukanya n’okwagala kwa Kristo, kubanga mu bino byonna tuliba nga ekkanisa bwe yabeera, abawanguzi abasukkiridde ku bw’oyo eyatwagala.

Waliwo alowooza nti nsukkiriza? Kale, laba, oba kye njogedde nga si kya mazima, olwo Kristo talina kkanisa n’akatono; kubanga ekkanisa etali yeeteefuteefu kubonaabona, n’okuvaamu omusaayi n’okufiira Kristo, si kkanisa ya Kristo. Kubanga agamba atya? “Oyo ayagala kitaawe oba nnyina okusinga Nze tansaanira, n’oyo ayagala mutabani we oba muwala we okusinga Nze naye tansaanira. N’oyo ateetikkenga musaalaba gwe n’angoberera tansaanira.”—Matayo 10:37-38. Wadde nga Kristo ayinza obutatugezesa n’okutuukirira, kyokka, oba tuli ba mazima, tuteekwa okuba abeetegefu eri okugezesebwa; era oba tuli beesigwa, wadde nga tuyinza okukankana nga tukirowoozaako, tetulikankana nga tukigumira. Omuntu mungi agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Sirina kukkiriza kwa mujulizi wa Kristo,” mu butuufu alina empisa eyo ey’ekitiibwa; era ka atuuke bumu ku kizibu, n’ensi eneeraba ekisa ekyali kikwekeddwa, nga kigolokoka ng’omusajja omuwanvu ennyo okuva mu tulo bwe. Okukkiriza okugumira ebbugumu ery’enjuba y’ensi eryewola, kwandigumidde empewo ennyogovu esala ey’okuyigganya kw’ensi. Tetwetaaga kutya; oba tuli ba mazima leero, tulibeera ba mazima bulijjo.

Kino si kya kugunjaawo bugunjaawo, obukakafu nga bungi nti Kristo akyali wa muwendo. Mbabuulire ku abo ababonaabona olwa Kristo mu kasirise, abo ku lunaku luno ababonaabona ng’abajulizi ba Kristo abo be tutawulirako, naye nga kya mazima era kya nnamaddala? Abawala abato bameka abagoberera Kristo wakati mu maka agatatya Katonda; kitaabwe amunenya, amusekerera, afuula obutukuvu bwe eky’okuduulira, era amufumita mu mutima n’ebigambo bye eby’okujooga! Baganda be ne bannyina bamuyita “Mupuritaani,” “Mumesodisiti,” n’ebifaananako, era anyiizibwa buli lunaku olw’ekyo omutume ky’ayita, “Okugezesebwa mu kuduulirwa okw’obukambwe.” Naye agumira bino byonna, era wadde amaziga oluusi bwe gamuvaamu olw’ekyo, kyokka wadde yandikaabye omusaayi yandilwanyisizza ekibi okutuusa ne ku kuyiwa omusaayi. Ababonaabona bano tebawandiikibwa, tebateekebwa mu Kitabo ky’Abajulizi ba Kristo. Tetulina Fokisi ku kuwandiika ebyafaayo byabwe eby’obujulizi, tebalina kumanya kwa kusanyusa mubiri nti balibawa ekitiibwa mu lujjudde; naye babonaabona bokka nga tewali abawulira, nga bakyasabira abo ababasekerera: nga bavuunama mu maaso ga Katonda ku maviivi gaabwe mu nnaku, si lwa kuyigganyizibwa, naye mu nnaku y’emmeeme olw’abo ababayigganya, balyoke balokolebwe. Bameka ku bavubuka ng’abo abakolera mu maka g’emirimu, abakozesebwa mu bifo ebinene, abafukamira ekiro ku mabbali g’ebitanda byabwe, mu kisenge ekinene omuli abaduulizi bangi. Abamu ku ffe twakimanya mu nnaku zaffe ez’obuvubuka, era twakigumira; naye Kristo wa muwendo eri okubonaabona okwa kasirise okw’abantu be; obujulizi buno obutaweebwa kitiibwa bukakasa nti ekkanisa ye teyalekera wo kumwagala, wadde okumutwala nga wa muwendo.

Ate bameka abalala—enkumi n’enkumi ez’abakozi aba Kristo abatalabika era abatamanyiddwa, amannya gaabwe agatayinza kwatulwa wano. Bakola ennyo okuva ku makya okutuuka akawungeezi wiiki yonna, ate olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti lwe lwandibadde olunaku lwabwe olw’okuwummula; naye bakola nnyo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti okusinga ku lunaku lulala lwonna. Bakyalira ebitanda by’abalwadde; ebigere byabwe bikooye, n’omubiri gugamba nti wummula, naye bagenda mu bifo ebya wansi ennyo n’omu buwolezo bw’ekibuga okwogera n’abatamanyi, era okufuba okusaasaanya erinnya n’ekitiibwa kya Yesu we kitamanyiddwanga. Waliwo bangi ab’engeri eyo abakolera Kristo n’amaanyi, wadde ng’ekkanisa n’okumanya tekimanyi. Ate bameka abakakasa nti baagala Kristo olw’obugabi bwabwe obutaggwaawo mu biweebwayo. Bangi abantu abaavu be nzudde, abeemma ekimu n’ekirala, kubanga baali baagala okuweereza ensonga ya Kristo. Era bangi abalala—buli kiseera tubazuula—mu bantu ab’omu mutindo ogwa wakati, abawaayo emirundi kikumi okusinga bangi ku bagagga; era singa mumanya bugezo ki obutono bwe bagezesebwa, n’enkwe ki ze bakozesa okuweereza Kristo, mwandigambye nti, “Omuntu ayinza okukola kino akakasa mu bweru nti Kristo wa muwendo gy’ali.” Era mutegeere kino, ensonga lwaki ekkanisa tekola nnyo, teyagala nnyo mu biweebwayo eby’Omulokozi, kwe kuno kwokka, kubanga ekkanisa ey’ennaku zino si kkanisa ya Kristo mu bunene bwayo bwonna. Mulimu ekkanisa ya Kristo, naye ekkanisa erabika, nga bw’eyimiridde mu maaso gammwe, teteekwa kutwalibwa nga ekkanisa ya Kristo; tuteekwa okugiyisa mu muliro, n’okuleeta ekitundu eky’okusatu okuyita mu lulimi lw’omuliro; kubanga luno lwe lunaku amasengere lwe geetabudde ne zaabu. Zaabu ennungi ennyingi efuuse etyo enzikiivu; ekitiibwa kigenze kitya. Sayuuni eri wansi w’ekire. Naye mutegeere, wadde nga temukiraba, waliwo ekkanisa, ekkanisa ekwekeddwa; wakati awatanyeenya wakati mu kweyongera kw’okweyita bakkiriza, mulimu obulamu munda mu kaddombolo kano akalabika ak’Obukristaayo obukula; mulimu obulamu obuli munda, era eri eggye eryo erikwekeddwa, ekibiina ekyo ekyalondebwa, Kristo wa muwendo—bakikakasa buli lunaku olw’okubonaabona kwabwe okw’obugumiikiriza, olw’okufuba kwabwe okw’amaanyi, olw’ebiweebwayo byabwe ebitaggwaawo eri ekkanisa ya Kristo. “Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza.”

Ka mbabuulire ekintu ekimu ekikakasa—ekikakasa mu bujjuvu, nti Kristo akyali wa muwendo eri abantu be, era kwe kuno:—tuma omu ku bantu ba Kristo agende awulire omubuulizi asinga okwatiikirira mu mulembe guno, yenna oyo gw’ayinza okuba; abuulira ekyokubuulira eky’amagezi ennyo, ekirungi era eky’ekitiibwa, naye nga temuli kigambo na kimu ku Kristo mu kyokubuulira ekyo. Ka kibe bwe kityo, omuntu Omukristaayo anaafuluma n’agamba nti, “Sifudde ku kyokubuulira ky’omuntu oyo n’akatono.” Lwaki? “Kubanga baggyeewo Mukama wange, so simanyi gye bamuteese. Sawulidde kigambo na kimu ku Kristo.” Tuma omuntu oyo ku makya ga Ssabbiiti agende awulire omubuulizi ow’oku bisaka n’omu nsalosalo, omuntu ayonoona olulimi Olungereza obubi ennyo, naye nga abuulira Yesu Kristo—oliraba amaziga nga gakulukuta ku maaso g’omuntu oyo, era bw’anaafuluma anaagamba nti, “Sisiima nkola ya lulimi mbi ey’omuntu oyo; sisiima nsobi ennyingi z’akoze, naye laba! kikoze omutima gwange obulungi, kubanga yayogedde ku Kristo.” Ekyo, ate, kye kikulu eri Omukristaayo; ayagala okuwulira ku Mukama we, era bw’amuwulira ng’agulumizibwa anaayisaamu amaaso ku nsobi kikumi. Mu butuufu, olisanga nti Abakristaayo bonna bakkiriziganya, nti ekyokubuulira ekisinga obulungi kye kiri ekijjudde Kristo. Tebayagala kuwulira kyokubuulira wabula nga mulimu ekintu kya Kristo. Omuweereza Omuweelusi eyali abuulira ku Ssabbiiti ewaggulwo mu ssinzizo ly’owooluganda wange omwagalwa, Jonasani Joogi, yali agamba nti Kristo ye nkomerero era ye nsigo y’enjiri, era n’ayogera olugero luno:—Omuvubuka yali abuulidde mu maaso g’omusumba omukadde omussibwamu ekitiibwa, era bwe yamala n’agenda eri omuweereza omukadde, n’agamba nti, “Olowooza otya ku kyokubuulira kyange?” “Mazima kyokubuulira kya bulijjo nnyo,” n’agamba. “Ekyokubuulira ekya bulijjo?” omuvubuka n’agamba, “kyantwalidde ekiseera kiwanvu okukisoma.” “Weewaawo, tewali kubuusabuusa.” “Lwaki, tewalowoozezza nti okunnyonnyola kwange okw’ekyawandiikibwa kwali kulungi nnyo?” “Weewaawo,” omubuulizi omukadde n’agamba, “kwali kulungi nnyo.” “Kale, lwaki ogamba nti kya bulijjo? Tewalowoozezza nti engerageranya zaali ntuufu era ensonga nga zimalirivu?” “Weewaawo, zaali nnungi okutuuka awo, naye kyali kyokubuulira kya bulijjo nnyo.” “Onaambuulira lwaki olowooza nti kya bulijjo?” “Kubanga,” n’agamba, “temwali Kristo.” “Kale,” omuvubuka n’agamba, “Kristo teyali mu kyawandiikibwa; tetuteekwa kubuulira Kristo bulijjo, tuteekwa kubuulira ekiri mu kyawandiikibwa.” Awo omukadde n’agamba, “Tomanyi ggwe omuvubuka nti okuva mu buli kibuga, na buli kyalo, na buli katundu akatono mu Bungereza, wonna we kayinza okubeera, waliwo oluguudo oluggenda e Landani?” “Weewaawo,” omuvubuka n’agamba. “Ah!” omusumba omukadde n’agamba “era bwe kityo okuva mu buli kyawandiikibwa mu Byawandiikibwa, waliwo oluguudo oluggenda mu kibuga ekikulu eky’Ebyawandiikibwa, ye Kristo. Era owooluganda wange omwagalwa, omulimu gwo bw’otuuka ku kyawandiikibwa, kwe kugamba nti, ‘Kaakano luguudo ki oluggenda eri Kristo?’ n’olyoka obuulira ekyokubuulira, ng’oddukira ku luguudo ng’ogenda eri ekibuga ekikulu—Kristo. Era,” n’agamba, “sinnaba kusanga kyawandiikibwa ekitalina luguudo luggenda eri Kristo, era bwe nnaasanga ekimu ekitalina luguudo luggenda eri Kristo, nnaalukola; nnaayita ku bisaka n’ensalosalo naye ntuuke ku Mukama wange, kubanga ekyokubuulira tekiyinza kukola bulungi wabula nga mulimu akaloosa ka Kristo.” Kaakano nga bwe mugamba amiina eri ekyo, ne mulangirira nti kye mwagala okuwulira ye Yesu Kristo, ekyawandiikibwa kikakasibbwa—“Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza.”

Naye bwe muba mwagala okugezaako kino nate ne mukikakasa, mugende mulabe abamu ku mikwano gyaffe abalwadde n’abaali ku kufa; mugende mwogere nabo ku Reform Bill, era banaabatunuulira mu maaso ne bagamba nti, “Ayi, nzivaawo mu mbeera eno ey’ekiseera: nsonga ntono nnyo gye ndi obanga Reform Bill eneekakasibwa oba nedda.” Tolibalaba nga bafaayo nnyo ku nsonga eyo. Kale, tuula wansi wogere nabo ku mbeera y’obudde, n’engeri ebirime gye biriimu—“Weewaawo, ku mwaka guno waliwo essuubi eddungi ery’eŋŋaano.” Baligamba nti, “Ah, amakungula gange gengera mu kitiibwa.” Yingiza omulamwa gwonna ogusinga okusikiriza, ate omukkiriza, agalamidde ku mabbali g’obulamu obutaggwaawo, talibaamu kya muwendo; naye tuula ku mabbali g’ekitanda ky’omuntu ono, era ayinza okuba ng’ali kumpi nnyo okugenda, ng’ali kumpi n’obutamanya, olyoke otandike okwogera ku Yesu—yogera ku linnya eryo ery’omuwendo eriramusa emmeeme, erizzaamu emmeeme amaanyi, Yesu, era oliraba eriiso lye nga litemagana, n’oluba lwe olwatukula ne lumyuka nate—“Ah,” aligamba, “Yesu ow’omuwendo, eryo lye linnya erikkakkanya okutya kwange, ne lisirisa ennaku zange.” Oliraba nga owadde omuntu oyo eddagala ery’amaanyi, era omubiri gwe gwonna nga gunywezeddwa okumala akaseera. Ne bw’afa, okulowooza ku Yesu Kristo n’essuubi ery’okumulaba kimufuula omulamu wakati mu kufa, ow’amaanyi wakati mu bunafu, era atatya wakati mu kukankana. Era kino kikakasa, ng’okumanyiira kw’abantu ba Katonda bwe kuli, nti eri abo abamukkiriza, Kristo bulijjo aba era ateekwa okubeera Kristo ow’omuwendo.

II. Ekintu ekyokubiri kwe kuno, LWAKI KRISTO WA MUWENDO ERI OMUKKIRIZA? Nzuula—era nnaayita mu nsonga ezo mu bumpi ennyo, wadde nga zaali zisaanira ekyokubuulira ekiwanvu, ekiwanvu ennyo—Yesu Kristo wa muwendo eri omukkiriza, kubanga wa muwendo mu butonde bwe. Naye wano ka mbayise mu kugezesa kw’enfuula y’ennimi; wano waliwo ekinnoonyezo, ka tukiyitemu. Wa muwendo mu butereevu; wa muwendo okusinga buli kimu mu kugeraageranya; ye asinga byonna omuwendo, era asinga omuwendo ne bwe byanditabuliddwa byonna wamu ne biteekebwa okuvuganya naye; bw’atyo wa muwendo mu kusingira ddala byonna. Kaakano, waliwo ebintu bitono by’oyinza okukola bw’otyo. Ogamba nti, omuntu muntu mulungi, mulungi mu butereevu, ate ogamba nti asinga obulungi abantu abalala bangi; mulungi mu kugeraageranya: naye toyinza kugamba muntu yenna mu mazima nti mulungi mu kusingira ddala byonna, kubanga awo yandisangiddwa nga takyatuukiridde. Naye Kristo mulungi mu butereevu, ne mu kugeraageranya, ne mu kusingira ddala byonna.

Mulungi mu butereevu? Okulondebwa kirungi; okulondebwa Katonda, era kya muwendo; naye tulondeddwa mu Kristo Yesu. Okuyingizibwa mu maka kirungi; okuyingizibwa mu maka ga Katonda kirungi—ah, naye tuyingiziddwa mu Kristo Yesu ne tufuulibwa abasika wamu naye. Okusonyiyibwa kirungi—ani ataagambe bw’atyo?—weewaawo, naye tusonyiyibbwa olw’omusaayi gwa Yesu ogw’omuwendo. Okuweebwa obutuukirivu—ekyo si kya kitiibwa, okwambazibwa obutuukirivu obutuukiridde?—weewaawo, naye tuweebwa obutuukirivu mu Yesu. Okukuumibwa—ekyo si kya muwendo?—weewaawo; naye tukuumibwa mu Kristo Yesu, era tunywezebwa amaanyi ge okutuusa ku nkomerero. Okutuukirira—ani anaagamba nti kino si kya muwendo? Kale, naye tutuukiridde mu Kristo Yesu. Okuzuukira, ekyo si kya kitiibwa? Tuzuukidde wamu naye. Okulinnya waggulu, ekyo si kya muwendo? Naye yatuzuukiza n’atutuuza wamu naye mu bifo eby’omu ggulu mu Kristo Yesu—bwe kityo Kristo ateekwa okuba omulungi mu butereevu, kubanga ye bintu byonna ebisinga obulungi mu kimu. Era oba bino byonna nga birungi, mazima ye ateekwa okuba omulungi, oyo ebintu bino byonna eby’omuwendo mwe biri, era mu ye, era eri ye, era ku bwe.

Naye Kristo mulungi mu kugeraageranya. Leeta ekintu kyonna wano okigeraageranye naye. Kimu ku mayinja ag’omuwendo agasinga okumasamasa kye tuyinza okuba nakyo lye ddembe. Bwe siba wa ddembe, ka nfe. Nteeke omuguwa ku bulago bwange naye toteeka njegere ku mukono gwange—nteekwa kubeera muntu wa ddembe nga nkyali mulamu. Omunnaggwanga taagambe nti yandiwaddeyo omusaayi gwe okugula eddembe, n’akirowooza nga muwendo mutono? Weewaawo, naye teeka eddembe ku lubbali lwa Kristo, nange nnandyambadde enjegere ku bwa Kristo ne nsanyukira olujegere. Omutume Pawulo yennyini yayinza okugamba nti, “Nnandyagadde nga mwenna mubadde nga nze bwe ndi,”—era yandyongeddeko nti, “okuggyako enjegere zino,” naye wadde nga yaggyako enjegere ku balala, teyaziggyako ku ye yennyini, kubanga yasanyukira olujegere n’alubala ng’akabonero k’ekitiibwa. Okwo ku ddembe, ekintu kya muwendo nnyo ki obulamu! “Eddiba olw’eddiba, omuntu kyaliva awaayo byonna by’alina olw’okuwonya obulamu bwe.” Naye ka Omukristaayo—Omukristaayo ow’amazima, afune omulundi ogumu okulonda wakati w’obulamu ne Kristo,—“Nedda,” agamba, “nnyinza okufa, naye siyinza kwegaana; nnyinza okwokebwa, naye siyinza kukyuka. Nnatula Kristo ne nzikiririra mu muliro; naye siyinza kwegaana Kristo, ne bwe munaangulumiza ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka.” Tewandibadde kulonda wakati w’ebyombi. Ne kale ekirungi kyonna eky’ensi ekiyinza okubaawo bwe kigeraageranyizibwa ne Kristo, obujulizi bw’omukkiriza bukakasa nti Kristo wa muwendo mu kugeraageranya, kubanga tewali kiyinza kwenkanankana naye.

Ne kale okugenda waggulu ennyo—Kristo mulungi mu kusingira ddala byonna. Ekisingira ddala byonna ye ggulu, era singa kiyinzika okuteeka Kristo mu kuvuganya n’eggulu, Omukristaayo teyandiyimiridde n’akaseera katono mu kulonda kwe; yandisinze okuba ku nsi ne Kristo okusinga okuba mu ggulu awatali ye. Weewaawo, simanyi oba teyandigenze okumpi nga Ruzeefoodi, eyagamba nti, “Mukama, nnandisinze okuba mu ggehanna naawe okusinga okuba mu ggulu awatali ggwe; kubanga singa mbadde mu ggulu awatali ggwe kyandibadde ggehanna gye ndi, era singa mbadde mu ggehanna naawe kyandibadde ggulu gye ndi.” Tuyinza okukigamba bwe kityo, era buli Mukristaayo anaakikkiriza. Kaakano, mujje mmwe ababaka b’ensi mwetikke ku bibegabega byammwe eby’obugagga bwayo byonna. Kayisaali, fuka zaabu yo mu ntuumu emu emasamasa; Kayisaali, teeka ekitiibwa kyo wano mu ntuumu emu ey’amalala; wano, Tiberiyo, leeta essanyu lyonna ery’obukaba n’obwonoonefu bwa Kapuli; Sulemaani, leeta wano obugagga bwonna obw’amagezi; Alegezanda, leeta okuwangula kwo kwonna; Napoliyoni, leeta obwakabaka bwo obwabuna wonna n’ettutumu lyo, biteeke byonna wano, byonna ensi bye eyita ebirungi; ne kaakano jja, ggwe Mwana gw’Endiga ogwa Katonda ovaamu omusaayi, ggwe Mulokozi eyayonoonebwa atalina agenkana, jja wano olinnyirire bino wansi w’ebigere byo, kubanga bino byonna bye ki bwe bigeraageranyizibwa naawe? Mbinyooma byonna. Kaakano nfudde eri ensi yonna, era ensi yonna efudde gye ndi. Obwakabaka bwonna obw’obutonde butono bwe bugeraageranyizibwa naawe, ng’ettondo mu kidomola bwe ligeraageranyizibwa n’ennyanja etakoma. Yesu Kristo, kale, wa muwendo mu kusingira ddala byonna.

2. Kiki ekirala kye tuyinza okwogera? Nga tuddamu ekibuuzo kino nate: Lwaki Kristo wa muwendo eri omukkiriza okusinga eri omuntu omulala yenna? Lwaki bwe bwetaavu bw’omukkiriza obufuula Kristo ow’omuwendo gy’ali. Eyo y’emu ku nsonga. Twafunye enkuba entono mu nnaku zino, era njogera nti mutono nnyo ku mmwe abeebazizza olw’eyo; kubanga yabatobya katono nga muzze wano. Naye ka tulowooze nti enkuba eyo yandigudde ku ddungu ery’e Buwalabu, ekintu kya muwendo ki kye kyandibadde. Weewaawo, buli ttondo ly’enkuba lyandibadde lya muwendo ng’oluyinjabyuma; ate enkuba, ne bwe yanditonnyezza enfuufu ya zaabu, obugagga obwo tebwandigeraageranyizibbwa n’amataba bwe gaava waggulu. Naye nsonga ki efuula amazzi okuba ag’omuwendo eyo? Kubanga gatalabikalabika. Ka tulowooze nti ndi mu Bungereza; waliwo amazzi mangi so siyinza kugatunda; amazzi ga bulijjo nnyo, kale ga bbeeyi ntono. Naye teeka omuntu mu ddungu, n’eccupa y’amazzi ekale, ajje ku luzzi gye yasuubira okusanga amazzi, naye ne gamubulako; toyinza kutegeera nti akatondo ako akatono ak’amazzi kandibadde ka muwendo nga muwendo gwa kabaka gwe banunulwa? Weewaawo, nti omuntu yandigatereezza n’agakweka ku banne bonna, kubanga ku katondo ako akatono ak’amazzi kwe kwesigama obulamu bwe? Engeri y’okusiima amazzi kwe kugatwala nga muwendo ng’olulimi lwokya ng’ekyokerezi, n’akamwa nga kookya ng’ekyokero. Awo lwe nsobola okutegeera omuwendo gwago nga mmanyi obwetaavu bwago. Bwe kityo ne ku Kristo. Ow’ensi tafaayo ku Kristo, kubanga tannalumwa njala wadde ennyonta ey’okumwagala; naye Omukristaayo alumwa ennyonta ya Kristo; ali mu nsi enkalu ey’ennyonta, awatali mazzi, n’omutima gwe n’omubiri gwe biyaayaanira Katonda, weewaawo Katonda omulamu; era ng’emmeeme erumwa ennyonta ng’efa bw’ekaaba amazzi, amazzi, amazzi, bw’atyo Omukristaayo akaaba Kristo, Kristo, Kristo! Kino kye kimu ekyetaagisa gye ndi, era bwe ssikirina, ennyonta eno eteekwa okunzikiriza.

Mutegeere nate, nti omukkiriza ayinza okulabika mu mbeera nnyingi, era bulijjo olisanga nti obwetaavu bwe bumwagaza Kristo. Wano waliwo omuntu anaatera okuwozesebwa olw’obulamu bwe. Nga tannakola nsobi, yayogeranga nti, “Abawozi, ababaka b’amateeka, abawolereza, baleke, mugaso ki gwe balina?” Kaakano bw’ayingidde mu kkomera alowooza mu ngeri ndala nnyo. Agamba nti, “Nnandyagadde okufuna omuwolereza omulungi ow’enjawulo awolereze ensonga yange;” era n’ayita mu lukalala okulaba omuntu asinga obulungi okumuwolereza. Ku nkomerero agamba nti, “Wano waliwo omuntu, singa yawolereza ensonga yange nnandisuubidde okuwona, naye sirina ssente za kumupangisa;” era n’agamba mukyala we—“Mukyala, tuteekwa okutunda ennyumba yaffe;” oba, “Tuteekwa okufuna ssente mu ngeri yonna, kubanga mpozesebwa olw’obulamu bwange, era nteekwa okuba n’omuwolereza.” Era kiki omukazi ky’ataakole okufunira bba omuwolereza? Weewaawo, anaawaayo ekiwero kye eky’enkomerero ky’alina okufuna omu. Kaakano, omukkiriza tewulira nga naye ali mu mbeera efaanana bwe etyo? Muyonoonyi mwavu awozesebwa olw’obulamu bwe, era ayagala omuwolereza; era buli lwe atunuulira Kristo ng’awolereza ensonga ye mu maaso g’entebe ya Kitaawe, agamba nti, “Ayi Kristo wa muwendo ki eri omwonoonyi omwavu eyazikirizibwa ekibi, kubanga awolereza ensonga ye mu maaso g’entebe.”

Naye ka tulowooze embeera endala; ey’omuntu alondeddwa okuba omuserikale. Mu biseera ng’ebyo abantu bulijjo banoonya abasigire. Nzijukira ng’okukuba akalulu ak’eggye kujja, engeri buli muntu gye yeegatta ku kibiina ky’abasigire, alyoke bw’alondebwa aleme kugenda yekka. Kaakano ka tulowooze nti omuntu yalondebwa, omusigire yandibadde wa muwendo ki—kubanga tewali muntu alina amagezi ayagala okuba emmere y’obunduguso—yandisiimye omuntu atalina bwongo agende akole omulimu ng’ogwo, naye ye yennyini yeetwala nga wa muwendo mungi nnyo. Naye ka tulowooze nti si kulondebwa kwokka kw’alondebwa okuba omuserikale, naye n’asalirwa okufa. Laba omunaku oyo omwavu ng’alinnya amadaala g’ekalabba; omuntu amwogerera mu kutu nti, “Wandiwaddeyo ki okufuna omusigire kaakano? Wandiwaddeyo ki okufuna omuntu ajje agumire ekibonerezo kino?” Laba eriiso lye nga likyusakyusa eddalu olw’ekirowoozo ekyo. “Omusigire,” agamba, “sandiguze omu ne bwe kwandibadde okuwaayo ensi yonna. Ani yandibadde omusigire wange, okuwuubaala mu bulamu obutaggwaawo wakati mu kuleekaana kw’ekibiina?” Naye ka tulowooze—era tulowooza kyokka ekyabaawo mu butuufu—ka tulowooze nti omuntu ono yalaba si kalabba na kugwa kwokka, naye n’omuliro gwa ggehanna mu maaso ge, era ne kigambibwa gy’ali nti, “Oteekwa okwokerera omwo emirembe gyonna okuggyako ng’ofunye omusigire,” ekyo tekyandibadde kya muwendo? Kaakano, mutegeere, eyo y’embeera yaffe yennyini. Omukristaayo awulira nti ggehanna eri mu maaso ge, singa teyabadde alina omusigire ow’ekitiibwa. Yesu yajja mu maaso, n’agamba nti, “Nze nnaagumira ekibonerezo ekyo; nfukira ggehanna, Kitange leka nnyweeko okusalirwa okutuusa lwe kunaakalira;” era n’akikola; yagumira obulumi obwo bwonna, oba ekyenkanako nabwo; yabonaabonera mu kifo ky’omujeemu; ne kaakano, ku bwe ye omusigire, tusonyiyibbwa ne tuba ba ddembe. Ayi, teyandibadde Kristo wa muwendo?

Naye lowooza ku Kristo nate, olyoke olowooze ku bwetaavu bw’omukkiriza. Nnaagezaako okuyita mu bungi bwabwo. Omukkiriza ndiga ya musiru. Ekintu kya muwendo ki omusumba, era bya muwendo ki omuddo omugimu n’amazzi ateefu. Omukkiriza ali ng’omukazi eyalekebwa. Ekintu kya muwendo ki omwami anaamuliisa, era anaamusanyusa n’amujjanjaba. Omukkiriza mutambuze, era enjuba eyokya emukuba. Ekintu kya muwendo ki ekisiikirize eky’olwazi olunene mu nsi ekooya. Omukkiriza muddu mu butonde. Ekintu kya muwendo ki ekkondeere ery’omwaka ogw’okununulibwa, n’omuwendo ogw’okununula ogumusumulula. Omukkiriza, mu butonde, muntu ng’asaanawo, ng’azaamira. Wa muwendo ki gy’ali olubaawo olw’ekisa eky’obwereere, ye musaalaba gwa Kristo, kw’ateeka omukono gwe omwavu ogukankana n’afuna ekitiibwa. Naye kiki ekirala kye nnaayogera? Ekiseera kyandimbulidde okwogera ku bwetaavu bwonna obw’omukkiriza, n’emigga egy’okwagala egijjula era egikulukuta obutakoma egiva mu Kristo, oluzzi olujjuza omukkiriza okutuuka ku mumwa. Ayi mugambe, mmwe abaana ba Katonda, wadde nga muli mu nsi eno ey’ensi enjaba ey’obwetaavu n’okubonaabona, si wa muwendo gye muli mu ngeri etategeerekeka, etayogerekeka, esingira ddala byonna?

3. Naye omulundi gumu nate. Tunuulira omukkiriza si mu bwetaavu bwe bwokka, naye ne mu mbeera ye esinga waggulu ku nsi. Omukkiriza muntu eyali muzibe w’amaaso ate kaakano alaba. Era ekintu kya muwendo ki ekitangaala eri omuntu alaba. Oba nze, ng’omukkiriza, nnina eriiso, mbeetaaga nnyo enjuba okwaka. Bwe siba na kitangaala eriiso lyange lifuuka ekibonyoobonyo, era nandibadde nga muzibe w’amaaso. Era Kristo bw’awa amaaso g’abazibe, afuula abantu be abantu abalaba. Awo we bazuulira ekintu kya muwendo ki okulaba, n’engeri gy’esanyusa omuntu okutunuulira enjuba. Omukkiriza muntu azzeemu obulamu. Omulambo omufu tegwetaaga ngoye, kubanga tegumpulira mpewo. Ka omuntu azzeemu obulamu, alyoke azuule nga ali bwereere, era ayagale engoye. Olw’ekyo kyennyini nti Omukristaayo muntu azzeemu obulamu, atwala nga kya muwendo ekyambalo eky’obutuukirivu ekimwambazibwa. Kristo akwata ku matu g’abantu be n’agabikkula; naye kyandibadde kirungi omuntu okuba kiggala okusinga okuwulira emirundi gyonna okusinda okunyiiza n’okusiiya. Naye bw’atyo bw’ayandibadde, ng’akiwulira bulijjo singa teyabadde Kristo amukuba ennyimba ennungi buli lunaku, ng’afuka emigga gy’ennyimba mu matu ge okuyita mu bisuubizo bye. Weewaawo, njogera nti, amaanyi g’Omukristaayo agaakazaalibwa gandibadde miyungiro gya nnaku singa teyabadde Kristo. Ne mu mbeera ye esinga waggulu Omukristaayo ateekwa okuwulira nti Kristo amwetaagisa, olwo alyoke amalirize nti Kristo wa muwendo gy’ali.

Naye ggwe omukkiriza, Kristo wa muwendo ki gy’oli mu kiseera eky’okulumirizibwa ekibi, ng’agamba nti, “Ebibi byo ebingi, byonna obisonyiyiddwa.” Wa muwendo ki gy’oli mu kiseera eky’obulwadde, ng’ajja gy’oli n’agamba nti, “Ndikola ekitanda kyo kyonna mu bulwadde bwo.” Wa muwendo ki gy’oli ku lunaku olw’okugezesebwa, ng’agamba nti, “Ebintu byonna bikolagana wamu okuleeta obulungi bwo.” Wa muwendo ki mikwano gyo bwe giziikibwa, kubanga agamba nti, “Nze kuzuukira n’obulamu.” Wa muwendo ki mu bukadde bwo obw’envi, “Ne mu bukadde bwammwe nzija kusigala nga ye nze Nzuuyo. Ne bwe muliba mulina envi nnaabasitulanga.” Wa muwendo ki mu kisenge eky’obwannamunigina eky’okufa, kubanga “siritya kabi konna; kubanga ggwe oli nange. Oluga lwo n’omuggo gwo bye binsanyusa.” Naye, ekisembayo, Kristo wa muwendo ki bwe tunaamulaba nga bw’ali. Byonna bye tumanyi ku Kristo wano biri nga si kintu bwe bigeraageranyizibwa n’ebyo bye tulimanya oluvannyuma. Ggwe omukkiriza, bw’olaba amaaso ga Kristo kaakano, olaba kyokka ng’oyita mu lugoye—Kristo wa kitiibwa nnyo, nti nga Musa awalirizibwa okuteeka olugoye ku maaso ge, kubanga abantu be abaavu nga bakyali wano banafu nnyo tebayinza kumulaba maaso ku maaso. Era oba mulungi wano, ng’ayonoonebbwa n’awandulirwako amalusu, mulungi atya bw’asinzibwa n’asinzibwa! Oba wa muwendo ku musaalaba gwe, wa muwendo nnyo nnyo bw’atuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka! Oba nsobola okukaaba mu maaso ge, ne mmwagala, ne mmubeerera omulamu, bwe mumulaba ng’omuntu anyoomebwa ow’e Nazaleesi; Ayi, omwoyo gwange gulyegattira gy’ali gutya, omutima gwange gulimalibwamu okwagala gy’ali gutya, bwe ndaba amaaso ge ne ntunuulira engule ye ey’ekitiibwa, bwe ndaba okukuba ennanga kw’abakubi b’ennanga abatakoma abakuba ennanga olw’okumutendereza. Linda akaseera, Omukristaayo. Oba wa muwendo eri omukkiriza kaakano, okukkiriza bwe kulifuuka okulaba, aliba wa muwendo n’okusingawo. Fuluma mu kisenge kino, okaabe nti, “Ayi Mukama Yesu, nteekwa okukwagala, nteekwa okukuweereza obulungi, nteekwa okukubeerera omulamu; nteekwa okuba omwetegefu okukufiirira—kubanga

’Oli wa muwendo eri emmeeme yange,

Essanyu lyange n’obwesige bwange.’”

Kino kintuusa ku kumaliriza—era wano njagala okussaayo omwoyo gwammwe gwonna n’obwegendereza nga buli omu ku bubwe addamu ekibuuzo kino—ggwe awuliriza, Kristo wa muwendo gy’oli? Ggwe owooluganda wange omuto, ggwe ow’emyaka egyenkana nga gyange, Yesu wa muwendo gy’oli mu buvubuka bwo? Omuvubuka anaakuumanga atya ekkubo lye nga ttereevu? Wabula ng’akwatako ng’ekigambo kya Kristo bwe kiri, era ng’atambulira mu bigere bye. Mmwe abasajja n’abakazi ab’emyaka egya wakati, Kristo wa muwendo gye muli? Mujjukire nti ensi eno kirooto kyokka, era bwe muba temulina kintu kisinga ekyo okumatiza, mulikwatibwa ennaku, ne bwe muliba muwangudde okusukka okwegomba kwammwe okusingayo. Ne mmwe abasajja ab’emitwe egy’envi, abagenda nga mutagala okutuuka mu ntaana zammwe, obulamu bwabwe nga bwe kasirinnanyi k’ettabaaza, ng’akaali kumpi okuzikira, ng’ettaala amafuta gaayo ge gaweddemu. Kristo wa muwendo gy’oli, ggwe alina omutwe omwereere, era n’ekiviiri eky’envi, Yesu wa muwendo eri emmeeme yo? Jjukira, ku kuddamu kwo ekibuuzo kino kwe kwesigama embeera yo. Ggwe okkiriza, oba wa muwendo gy’oli, naye bw’ataba wa muwendo, olwo si bakkiriza, era musaliddwa omusango dda kubanga temukkiriza Mwana wa Katonda. Kaakano, kiruwa ku ebyo? Ayi, ndowooza abamu ku mmwe muwulira ng’ababa mubuuka okuva ku ntebe zammwe, ne mugamba nti, “Weewaawo, wa muwendo gye ndi, siyinza kukyegaana.” Waaliwo omuweereza omulungi eyali abuuza ekibiina kye, n’agamba abavubuka nti, “Ekibuuzo kye nnaatera okubuuza kya ngeri nti saagala n’omu ku mmwe kuddamu wabula abo abasobola okuddamu okuva mu mutima gwabwe.” Ekkuŋŋaaniro lyali likuŋŋaanye, n’abuuza ekibuuzo kino ekikwata ku Kristo—“Ka tulowooze nti Kristo yali wano, era yandigambye nti, ‘Onjagala?’ okuddamu kwo kwandibadde kuki?” N’atunuulira wonna, n’atunuza abavubuka bonna n’abawala, n’agamba nti, “Yesu ayogera nammwe omulundi ogusooka, n’agamba nti, ‘Onjagala?’ Ayogera omulundi ogwokubiri, n’agamba nti, ‘Onjagala?’” Waaliwo akasiriikiriro ak’amaanyi so tewali n’omu eyaddamu; n’ekkuŋŋaaniro ne litunuulira ekibiina, era ku nkomerero omuweereza n’agamba nate nti, “Yesu ayogera ku bwange omulundi ogwokusatu, n’agamba nti, ‘Onjagala?’” Ne wagolokoka omuwala omuto, eyali takyayinza kutuula, era n’akaaba amaziga, n’agamba nti, “Weewaawo, Mukama wange ggwe omanyi buli kimu, omanyi nga nkwagala.” Kaakano, bameka wano abandyogedde ekyo? Toyinza kaakano, singa kino kibadde kye kiseera—wadde ng’oyinza okuswala wakati mu bantu bangi bwe bati—toyinza, singa Kristo akubuuzizza ekibuuzo, okwogera n’obuvumu, wadde wakati mu balabe—“Weewaawo, Mukama wange ggwe omanyi buli kimu, omanyi nga nkwagala.” Kale, oba osobola okuddamu okuddamu ng’okwo, ddayo eka osabe abalala baleetebwe okumwagala, kubanga mmwe bennyini mulokosebbwa; naye bw’owalirizibwa okusirika eri ekibuuzo ng’ekyo, Ayi Katonda akuluŋŋamye okunoonya Kristo, naawe otuusibwe ku musaalaba, olabireyo ebiwundu bye ebyagalwa ebivaamu omusaayi, olabe embiriizi ze enjaguuse, era ng’ogwa ku bigere bye, ogambe nti, “Nkwesiga, nneesigama ku ggwe, nneesigama ku ggwe,” era anaagamba nti, “Nkulokodde;” olwo olibuuka ku bigere byo, n’ogamba nti, “Mukama, nkwagala, kubanga ggwe wasooka okunjagala.” Nga bwe kityo bwe kunaaba enkomerero y’ekyokubuulira kino, era Katonda aweebwe ekitiibwa kyonna.
