Okubudaabudibwa mu Kikoomi

"N’ayogera nti, "Naye nga ndaba abasajja bana nga basumuluddwa nga batambulira wakati mu muliro, nga tebaliiko kabi ke bakolebbwako, so n’owookuna ng’afaanana ng’omwana wa bakatonda."" Danyeri 3:25.

EBYAFAAYO by’obuvumu obw’ekitiibwa n’okununulibwa okw’ekitalo kw’abaana abatukuvu abasatu, oba nga bwe twandibayise, ab’obuwanguzi, birungi nnyo okusiikuula mu mitima gy’abakkiriza obunywevu n’obugumu mu kunyweza Amazima ga Katonda mu maaso g’obuyinza obw’obukambwe ne mu kamwa k’okufa kennyini. Naddala abavubuka, kubanga bano baali bavubuka, bayige okuva ku kyokulabirako kyabwe, mu bikwata ku kukkiriza mu ddiini ne mu bikwata ku bwesigwa mu bya bizinensi, obutawaayo mirundi gyonna emitima gyabwe egy’okulowooza. Fiirwa byonna okusinga okufiirwa obwesigwa bwo, era ebirala byonna bwe biggwaawo onywerere ku mutima omulongoofu ng’ejjinja ery’omuwendo omungi ennyo erisobola okuwoomya ekifuba ky’omuntu affa.

Tekyandibadde kufiirwa budde omubuulizi okumala enkya nga mukaaga ng’akalaatiira emirundi n’emirundi ku bwetaavu bw’Omukristaayo okugondera mu byonna era bulijjo ebiragiro by’omutima gwe, kubanga guno mulembe ogwetaaga obwedaddembe obunywevu n’okunywerera ku mazima okutakendeera. Obanga okwegendereza okw’obwesigwa okusingayo obungi kw’enkola esinga obulungi oba nedda, sijja kufaayo kuwakana ku kyo. Kaakano njogera, si eri abantu abaluŋŋamizibwa ekitangaala eky’obulimba eky’enkola, wabula ababa baluŋŋamizibwa emmunyeenye ey’obukiikakkono ey’ekitangaala kya Katonda, era mbeegayirira okugoberera ekituufu mu kabi konna. Bw’oba tolaba magoba ga kaakano, olwo tambulira mu kukkiriza so si mu kulaba.

Mbeegayirira, Abaagalwa mu Mukama Yesu Kristo, muwe Katonda wange ekitiibwa nga mumwesiga bwe kituuka ku nsonga z’okufiirwa olw’omusingi. Mulabe oba talibeera wa banja gye muli! Mulabe oba, ne mu bulamu buno, tanaakakasa Ekigambo kye nti "okutya Katonda kulimu amagoba mangi," era nti abo "musooke munoonye obwakabaka bwa Katonda n’obutuukirivu bwe, ebyo byonna mulibyongerwako." Mumanye nti, mu Kuluŋŋamya kwa Katonda bwe kirituuka nga muba era nga musigala nga mufiirwa olw’omutima, mulisanga nti Mukama bw’atalibasasula mu ffeeza ey’obugagga obw’ensi, alituukiriza ekisuubizo kye mu zaabu ey’eby’omwoyo! Era njagala mujjukire nti obulamu bw’omuntu tebugererwa ku bugagga bw’abeera nabwo.

Okuba n’omutima omulongoofu, okwambala omwoyo ogutalimu bukuusa, okuba n’omutima ogutaliiko musango, bugagga businga obwo obuva mu birombe bya Ofiri oba obw’obusuubuzi bwa Tuulo bwe bwandifunye. Okulya emmere ng’eriko enva endiirwa awali okwagalana, kisinga okuliirako ebyassava awali obukyayi. Akatono ak’okuwummula kw’omutima kasinga ttani ya zaabu. Era ettondo ery’obutaliiko musango lisinga ennyanja ey’okuwaanawaana. Yokebwa, Omukristaayo, bwe kituuka awo—naye tovanga mu kkubo ettuufu! Fa, naye togaananga Amazima. Fiirwa byonna okugula Amazima ga Katonda! Togatunda, ne bwe kandibadde omuwendo eby’obugagga n’ekitiibwa ky’ensi yonna, kubanga "Kale omuntu agasibwa ki singa alya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?"

Naye ekigendererwa kyange ekigere mu kwogera ku byafaayo bino ku makya gano tekyali kubikozesa byonna ng’okusiikuula Abakristaayo abavubuka mu ngeri y’okubuulirira okw’amaanyi, wadde nga nkkiriza nti nnina okwegomba okunene okukikola. Naye nnina olunyiriri luno lumu mu birowoozo byange, awo omufuzi omukambwe eyeewuunya we yalabira ababonyaabonyezebwa be nga mu mirembe bawona ennimi z’omuliro ze yali ateekeddeteekedde okubazikiriza mangu. Njagala okukozesa okuleekaana kwe ng’ekizzaamu-amaanyi eri Abakristaayo ababonaabona buli wamu. Kale, muteeke ebirowoozo byammwe ku bigambo ebiri mu maaso gaffe, era Omwoyo Omutukuvu abeere Omuyigiriza waffe.

I. Tujja kutandika nga tutunuulira ekifo ABANTU BA KATONDA GYE BABEERA EMIRUNDI MINGI. Mu kyawandiikibwa tusanga basatu ku bo mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro, era wadde nga kino kya njawulo, mu butuufu, si kya kyewuunyo mu by’omwoyo, kubanga, okwogera amazima, kye kifo abatukuvu mwe basangibwa bulijjo. Ab’edda baayogeranga olugero lwa salamanda, nti yabeeranga mu muliro. Ekyo kimu kiyinza okwogerwa ku Mukristaayo awatali lugero n’akatono!

Ekkanisa ey’edda, mu ngero gy’eyagalanga, yeeyogerangako ng’eryato. Eryato lyandibadde wa okuggyako mu nnyanja? Kaakano ennyanja kintu ekitanywevu, kitera okutabulwa amayengo. Ye nnyanja etabuse etayinza kuwummula. Bwe kityo Omukristaayo asanga obulamu buno obufa nga tebuweweera era nga butera obutateeka. Kyewuunyisa nnyo Omukristaayo bw’aba nga tali mu kugezesebwa, kubanga eri abatambuze mu ddungu, okubonaabona n’obwetaavu bye biba bya bulijjo so si eby’enjawulo. Tuyita mu "bibonoobono ebingi" ne tusikira obwakabaka. Tewali bulamu businga essanyu ng’obw’omuntu alaga mu Kibuga eky’Omu Ggulu. Ate ku luuyi olulala, tewali bulamu bulimu okulwana ng’obulamu bw’omutambuze alaga mu ggulu.

Ebikoomi Abakristaayo mwe basuulibwa bya ngeri nnyingi. Oboolyawo tuyinza okubyawula mu bibinja bisatu. Ekisooka, waliwo ekikoomi abantu kye bakuma. Ng’ekyandibadde nga tewali nnaku emala mu nsi, abantu be babonyaabonya bannaabwe okusingira ddala. Ebintu byonna eby’obutabanguko, ensolo enkambwe zonna, n’enjala ne kawumpuli mu kitiisa kyabyo, tebibadde balabe ba muntu ng’abantu bennyini bwe babadde.

Obukyayi obw’eddiini bulijjo bwe businga obukyayi bwonna era buleetera okukola ebikolwa ebisingira ddala obukambwe. Okuyigganya tekusonyiwa nga okufa era kwa kambwe nga entaana. Omukkiriza mu Yesu, ali omu ku bantu aboogerwako bubi buli wamu, ateekwa okusuubira okusuulibwa mu kikoomi ky’okuyigganya bannaabwe. "Ensi bw’ebakyawanga," bw’ayogera Mukama waffe, "mumanye nti yasooka kukyawa nze." "Singa mubadde ba nsi, yandibaagadde, naye temuli ba nsi, kubanga nabalonda muve mu nsi, kyeva ebakyawa." Abamu balowooza nti ebigambo bino byayita mu bbanga—bigambo bya dda—bigambo ebyogera ku biseera by’Abatume byokka. Nziramu nti, oli ebweru w’okukkiriza kw’Abatume, oba si ekyo wandibisanze nga bikyanywevu mu maanyi gaabyo gonna!

Oluusi Omukristaayo awulira ebbugumu ery’ekikoomi ky’okuyigganya okw’olwatu. Batukuvu bameka abalinnye mu Ggulu nga Eriya mu ggaali ery’omuliro? Emyoyo gyabwe egy’ekitiibwa gyafuna ekkubo ery’obukuumi okutuuka mu Ggulu nga giyita mu nnimi z’omuliro, kubanga baali bakuumibwa emyoyo egiweereza Katonda ge yafuula ng’ennimi z’omuliro. Enkumi n’enkumi ez’abaana ba Sayuuni ab’omuwendo baalekebwa okuvunda mu makomera, oba battibwa ku njegoyego z’ensozi, oba baazikiririra mu bwavu ne mu bwetaavu. Ne leero waliwo bangi abagumira okugezesebwa okw’okusekererwa okw’obukambwe era, mu ngeri ez’enjawulo ez’obulumi, bakozesebwa okwetikka omusaalaba, kubanga bonna abaagala okuba mu bulamu obutya Katonda mu Kristo Yesu, banaayigganyizibwanga.

Ekikoomi ekirala kye ky’okujooga. Mu kikoomi eky’ekyuma ekya Misiri, abaana ba Isirayiri baakozesebwa obuddu obuzibu mu matoffaali ne mu ttoosi. Era awatali kubuusabuusa bangi ku bantu ba Katonda bali mu mbeera gye batasinga nnyo baddu. Okujooga tekunnaba kufa—ne mu ngeri ya gavumenti esinga okuba ey’eddembe, bulijjo waliwo obusobozi eri abakulu b’amaka n’abakama b’ebifo okukola okujooga okusingira ddala okunyiiza eri abo b’etakkiriza. Era awatali kubuusabuusa emyoyo emironde mingi gikyalinnyirirwa nga essubi bwe liriinyirirwa okugenda ku kifunvu. Waliwo n’ekikoomi eky’okuwaayiriza. Ebibala ebisinga okwengera birumbibwa ennyo ennyonyi. Abo abalina ekifaananyi kya Katonda ekisingayo be balinnyaŋŋanira ennyeko y’ensi. Teweesuubiranga nti ensi eneekwogerako bulungi, kubanga teyaweereza Mukama wo kigambo kirungi. "Omuyigirizwa tasinga amusomesa, so n’omuddu tasinga mukama we."

Suubira okutategeerebwa—obwo bunafu bwa muntu. Suubira okwogerwako obulimba—okwo kukyawa kwe okugenderere. Kaakuno waliwo kaweefube ow’amaanyi ennyo ogukolebwa okuteeka ku kibiina kyaffe akabonero akaatiikirivu aka "S. S." akaali ekifaananyi eky’edda eky’Abapuritaani ekya "Sower of Sedition." Okuwaayiriza kuno kwa dda nnyo, kubanga mu biro bya Nekkemiya olunoonyereza lwagamba nti, "ekibuga ekyo, okuva edda kijeemera bakabaka." Era guno gwe musango kaakano ku baweereza baffe era, mazima, ku ffe ffenna, nti tuli bakolagana n’abo abasiikuula abantu okujeema. Ababaka, tetujja kwegaana nti tuli bangu bulijjo okulwanirira eddembe ery’abantu bonna era nga tetuwaanawaana bafuzi ba nkambwe oba mu Jamaica oba awalala! Wabula obujulirwa bwaffe buli bwa maloboozi nnyo era butegeerekeka nti waliwo Mukama omu alikola obutuukirivu n’omusango eri bonna abajoogebwa.

Tukyawa okulinnyirira abaavu era tukyayira ddala okutta abantu mu bunene, obumu obwenkanya, bwe bukolebwa Abangereza nga bwe bukolebwa Abatuluuki oba Abaruusi. Era ne bwe kitaba kya mulembe, tunywezezza endowooza nti eddembe kye kizaalirwa buli muntu, si ddembe lyokka erikkiriza ensingo ye okuva mu lujegere, wabula eddembe erikkiriza okukozesebwa kw’eddembe ery’obusajja. Abantu ababonaabona baterekwa okuyambibwa ne bwe baba bambadde langi enzirugavu, era obutali bwenkanya obw’amaanyi buteekwa okuvumirirwa ne bwe kuba Omuddugavu anyoomebwa ennyo gw’akoseddwa! Tekiyinza kukungubagirwa kumala nti obululu obw’entiisa obwasiikuulibwa emyaka egy’obutali bwenkanya bwe bwandireeteredde akeegugungo akakambwe era akatiisa bwe kityo.

Naye tuteekwa okujjukira nti okujooga kufuula n’abasajja ab’amagezi okulalusa, era mu bwenkanya tuteekwa okuteeka omugugu gw’akeegugungo si ku basajja bokka abo abanakuwavu era abatasoma abaawalirizibwa okwoleka obusungu buno obw’amaanyi, wabula tuteekwa okuwa ekibi ekisinga obunene abasajja ab’ekitiibwa, ab’obugagga era abaayiga abateeka emigugu emizibu ku bantu bano ne bagaana okuwuliriza okukaaba kwabwe okw’amaanyi n’okubawa ebyo bye basaba mu butuufu. Eggwanga eribi abalabe baabwe lye baawalana kumpi linzigya n’ekigambo kino eky’okwetonda, kubanga lyokka bujulizi bumala obw’omwoyo ogufuze eggwanga ery’Abaddugavu ne guwaliriza ababonyaabonyezebwa abanakuwavu okugulwanyisa.

Naye mazima kirinywerezebwa nti Ababatisita be ntandikwa y’akeegugungo era bwe kityo Ekkanisa ya Katonda eneebeera akasunsundwa k’abazza emisango. Tuli mikwano gy’eddembe, naye tetwayigiriza bujeemu. Tufuba okusimba emisingi egy’obusajja egy’obwedaddembe n’eddembe, naye tuteeka awamu n’ebiragiro ebyewombeefu ebya Yesu ow’okwagala! Kyokka ebivume eby’engeri zonna tusuubira okubifuna era tetuzibala nga kya njawulo bwe zitutuukako.

Eky’okubiri, waliwo ekikoomi Setaani ky’afuuwa n’emivuubo eminene esatu—abamu ku mmwe mwabaddemu. Kizibu okugumira, kubanga Omulangira ow’obuyinza obw’empewo alina obuyinza obungi ku myoyo gy’abantu. Amanyi ebifo byaffe eby’obunafu era ayinza okukuba n’atusalako ddala okutuuka mu bulamu bwaffe ennyini. Akoleeza omuliro n’empewo ey’okukemebwa. Omubi amanyi ebibi bye tukwatibwa emirundi mingi, obunafu bw’obusungu bwaffe, n’engeri gye tuyinza okusunguwazibwamu mangu. Ategeera engeri y’okuteeka ekyokulya kye eri ekyennyanja kye n’omutego gwe eri ekinyonyi kye.

Oluusi Omukristaayo asinga okunyiikira aliwalirizibwa okukaaba nti, "Naye nze amagulu gange gaali kumpi okutagala era n’ebigere byange okuseerera." Omulokozi yayita mu kikoomi kino mu ddungu era yakemebwa Setaani emirundi esatu. Era mu ddungu ery’obulamu buno abantu ba Katonda batera okugezesebwa okukemebwa okw’engeri esingira ddala okutiisa. Awo akola omuvuubo ogw’okubiri ogw’okuloopa. Asiiya mu kutu nti, "Ebibi byo bikuzikirizza! Mukama akulese ddala! Katonda wo taliddayo kuba wa kisa!" Atugamba nti tuli bannanfuusi, nti ebyo bye twayitamu byali bya kulowoozaawo obwereere, nti okukkiriza kwaffe kwa kwewaana bwewaanyi. Atugamba nti okwenyumiriza kwaffe kwabadde kwewaana era ebibi ebyo bennyini, ye ng’omukemi bwe yatuwaliriza okukola, abituleetera ng’atwala engeri ye gy’ayagala ennyo ey’okuba "omuloopi eyaloopanga baganda baffe."

Bwe tutaba nga tuzzibbwamu amaanyi mu kisa wansi w’okulumbibwa empologoma ewuluguma, tunaaba kumpi okuleka essuubi lyonna.

Awo alituzingiza n’ebiteeso eby’okuvvoola. Ng’atubonyaabonya n’enkukunala, alina engeri ey’okwogera ebintu ebibi ku Katonda n’oluvannyuma n’abisuula mu mitima gyaffe ng’ebyaffe ffe. Ayinza okusiga ensigo ey’okuvvoola mu myoyo gyaffe n’oluvannyuma n’atugamba nti zino nsigo za mu mitima gyaffe ffe! Ateeka abaana be ab’ekizikiza ku mulyango gwaffe ng’abaana baffe abazaaliddwa mu maka gaffe. Era kino oluusi kizibu nnyo okugumira, ebikolimo eby’okuvvoola Katonda ne Kristo we bwe biyita mu mwoyo gwaffe. Era wadde nga tubikyawa n’obukyayi obutuukiridde, tetusobola kubivaako.

Era eky’okusatu, waliwo ekikoomi Katonda kennyini ky’ateekerateekera abantu be. Waliwo ekikoomi eky’obulumi obw’omubiri. Omusajja ow’amaanyi ayanguwa nnyo okutoowazibwa! Ffe abaasanyukiranga obulamu obulungi mu kaseera katono tufuulibwa okukungubaga n’okusinda, si mu bunafu kyokka, wabula mu bulumi ne mu nnaku. Atalowoozaako bulumi ye oyo atabumanyi. Ekikoomi ekisingako obubi, oboolyawo, kye ky’okufiirwa. Omwana alwala, mukyala akendeera mpolampola, omwami akubwa okusannyalala. Mukwano gulaga nga bwe gwe gulala gugoba, ng’emmunyeenye eziggwaamu ekitangaala emu emu. Tukaaba n’obubalagaze wamu ne Yobu nti, "Ommazeeko ab’emikwano n’abo abanjagala ennyo; nsigazza nzikiza yokka."

Awo ku kino kulyeyongerako okufiirwa n’okubonaabona okw’ekiseera. Bizinensi gye twalowooza nti eneegaggawaza, egeya. Tuzimba ennyumba, naye Okuluŋŋamya kwa Katonda kugimenya n’emikono gyako gyombi. Tuwanika ettanga ne tunoonya okugenda mu maaso naye tutwalibwa wala okuva ku mwalo gwe twagala empewo ey’emabega. "Mukama bw’atazimba nnyumba, abo abagizimba bazimbira bwereere." Sisobola kwongera kunnyonnyola misaalaba gino Kitaffe ali mu ggulu, mu Kuluŋŋamya kwe okw’ekyama, gy’ateeka ku baagalwa be. Kya mazima nti ng’amayengo g’ennyanja, amatondo g’enkuba, omusenyu gw’eddungu, n’ebikoola by’ekibira, ennaku z’abantu ba Mukama tezibalika. Mu bbugumu ery’omu makkati g’omuliro Mukama mw’asuula abatukuvu be, era mutegeere kino, abasuula eyo kubanga be baagalwa be era abaagalwa ennyo.

Sirimulaba omuweesi wa zaabu ng’ateeka ebisasiro mu kikoomi—kyandigasizza ki? Kyandibadde kufaafaaganya nku na mirimu. Naye asindika akabya akajjudde zaabu mu kitundu ky’omuliro ekisinga okwaka n’ateekako amanda okutuusa ebbugumu lwe litiisa. Abamu ku mmwe temulina misaalaba—muli nga Mowaabu, "nga wayini gwe batasengezze"—"gwe bataggye mu kibya ekimu okumuyiwa mu kirala" kubanga muli bagaanibwa era Katonda tabafaako! Naye zaabu entuufu eteekebwa mu kikoomi okugifuula entukuvu okusingawo. Nga effeeza erongoosebwa obulungi emirundi musanvu mu kyoto eky’ebbumba, olw’okubanga ye ffeeza, bwe batyo abatukuvu bwe babonyaabonyezebwa olw’omuwendo gwabwe mu maaso ga Mukama. Abantu tebalyeraliikirira kulongoosa kyuma nga bwe balikola ku ffeeza, kubanga ekyuma bwe kituusibwa ku mutindo ogutegeerekeka ogw’obulongoofu kikola bulungi. Naye effeeza eteekwa okulongoosebwa emirundi ebiri, okutuusa nga tewasigala bisasiro.

Abantu tebasala mayinja ga bulijjo ku nnamuziga y’omusala w’amayinja ag’omuwendo, naye alimasi ateekwa okuweweebwa emirundi n’emirundi n’emirundi n’okusalibwako okukambwe, era bw’atyo bw’ateekwa okubeera Omukkiriza. Empandiika etujjukiza nti oluusi Omukristaayo ayanjululwa mu kugezesebwa okwa njawulo nnyo. Ekikoomi kyakoomebwa emirundi musanvu okusingawo obwokezi—kyali kyaka bulungi ne bwe kyakoomebwa omulundi gumu—naye ndowooza nti Nebukadduneeza yaliko kolaasi ne kaali ne buli ngeri y’ebyaka byonna ebyasuulibwamu okukyakiza n’amaanyi amangi.

Mazima, oluusi Mukama alabika ng’akola bw’atyo n’abantu be. Bwe bugumu obw’amaanyi obwa njawulo obubeetooloola ne bakaaba nti, "Nze muntu eyakangavvulwa—nsobola okukulembera abalala bonna mu nsi y’ennaku."

Kino si bwe kiri, mujjukire, kubanga abalangira baatuula mu mulyango gwa kabaka nga emitwe gyabwe gibisiddwa evvu, era abasajja abasinga obulungi abalya emmere ku mmeeza ya Yakuwa leero, baalina okwogera nti, "Anzijuzza ebikaawa, n’ampadde oluyinjayinja okululya amannyo gange ne gamenyeka." Ekkubo ery’ennaku litambulirwako nnyo, likubiddwa era liriinyiriddwa ebibinja by’abalonde ba Katonda abazudde nti ekkubo ery’ennaku, era ekkubo eryo lyokka, lituusa mu kifo ennaku gye zitamanyiddwa!

Saagala kuva ku nsonga eno nga sinnaba kwetegereza nti, era, abawanguzi bano abatukuvu tebaalina buyinza bwe baasuulibwa mu kikoomi. Baasuulibwa nga basibiddwa. Era bangi ku ffe twasuulibwa nga tusibiddwa, nga tetusobola kuyimusa mukono oba kigere okwedduukirira. Baagwa, nga bwe kyayogerwa, wakati mu kikoomi. Era emirundi mingi engeri y’okuzirika ekwata abatukuvu ba Katonda ku ntandikwa y’ennaku zaabwe—ennaku zennyini oluvannyuma mwe basobolera okusanyukira—kubanga eby’okaakano bibajjuza obuzito ne bagwa nga basibiddwa wakati mu kikoomi.

Mbeera nnungi okubeeramu! Ani atakankana olw’ekyo? Mazima tewali ku ffe ayagala kukironda. Naye tetulina kulonda era nga bwe twayogera ne Dawudi nti, "Yatulondera omugabo gwaffe." Mukama bw’asalawo okugutulondera mu manda g’omuliro—ye Mukama—ka akole nga bw’asiima. Yakuwa w’ateeka abatukuvu be baba bakuumibwa mu butuufu, wadde nga bafaanana ng’abanjululwa mu kuzikirizibwa. Eyo y’ensonga esooka—abantu ba Katonda gye babeera emirundi mingi.

II. Tugenda mu kya kubiri—KYE BAFIIRWA EYO. Tunuulira ekyawandiikibwa era kijja kukutegeerekera nti baafiirwa ekintu. Saddulaaki, Mesaki ne Abeduneego baafiirwa ekintu mu muliro—si ebiremba byabwe, so si engoye zaabwe, so si engatto zaabwe, so si oluviiri lumu ku mitwe gyabwe oba ku birevu byabwe—nedda, kale kiki? Lwaki, baafiirwa ebisiba byabwe eyo! Wetegereze, "Mu muliro tetwasuddemu abasajja basatu nga basibiddwa? Naye nga ndaba abasajja bana nga basumuluddwa nga batambulira wakati mu muliro."

Omuliro tegwabalumya, naye gwakutula ebisiba byabwe. Okufiirwa okuweereddwa omukisa, kuno! Okufiirwa kw’Omukristaayo ow’amazima kwe kuganyulwa mu ngeri endala. Kaakano, Abaagalwa, mwetegereze kino n’obwegendereza—nti bangi ku baweereza ba Katonda tebamanya bujjuvu bw’eddembe ery’omwoyo okutuusa lwe basuulibwa wakati mu kikoomi. Bangi ku bo basibiddwa era basibiddwa n’enjegere okutuusa lwe batuuka mu nnimi era ennimi ne zookya ebisiba mwe baali beeyagalidde okukwatibwa ng’abasibe. Nga zaabu entuufu efiirwa ebisasiro byokka mu muliro! Nga ekyuma ekitafiirwa kirala okuggyako obutalagge bwakyo wansi w’akaliso, bw’atyo bw’ali Omukristaayo—afiirwa ky’asanyuka okufiirwa era okufiirwa kwe kwe kuganyulwa okuweereddwa omukisa.

Mbalage ebimu ku bisiba Katonda by’asumulula abantu be nga bali mu muliro ogw’obukyayi obw’abantu? Oluusi akutula emiguwa egy’okutya omuntu n’okwegomba okusanyusa omuntu. Maritini Luteeri, nkuguma okwogera, ng’abantu abalala, yalina ekitiibwa kimu ku mpisa ze n’okussaamu ekitiibwa endowooza y’abantu. Yandibadde omwetegefu okuwa ekitiibwa okuyiga n’obuyinza obw’omulembe—byombi ebyawagira enkola ey’edda eya Ruumi—naye mu kiseera eky’essanyu Paapa yagoba Omudaaki omuleeta w’obuzibu mu Kkanisa. Byonna biri bulungi eri Luteeri kaakano! Olugendo lwe lweyolefu era lutegeerekeka mu maaso ge! Noolwekyo teyandiddayo kukkaanya oba kuloota mirembe.

Kaakano ebisiba bye bikutuse! Ayokya ekiwandiiko kya Paapa n’abwatuka nti, "Paapa wa Ruumi agoba Maritini Luteeri era nze, Maritini Luteeri, ngoba Paapa wa Ruumi! Ensi enkyawa era tewali kwagalana wakati waffe, kubanga ngissaamu ekitiibwa nga bwe engissaamu ekitiibwa. Olutalo lutuuke ku kambe," bw’ayogera! Omusajja teyali mweyolefu okutuusa ensi lwe yamugoba. Kya kitalo okuyita mu kunyoomebwa okungi nnyo omwoyo ne gukakanyala olw’ekyo wansi w’okumanya okunywevu nti ekituufu tekyeyongera kunyoomebwa olw’okuba nga mukwano gwakyo anyoomebwa. "Lwaki," ogamba, "bwe ntyo bwe nkolwa olw’okwogera amazima? Nnali nteekeddwa okukkaanya n’okuwaayo, naye oluvannyuma lw’kino, nedda! Osumuludde ebisiba byange."

Omuntu bw’amaze okukola ekisingira ddala obubi, nga Nebukadduneeza bwe yakola mu nsonga eno, kale Saddulaaki, Mesaki ne Abeduneego, bayinza okwogera nti, "Ayinza kukola ki ekirala? Atusudde mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro ekikoomeddwa emirundi musanvu okusingawo. Akoze ekisingira ddala obubi era kaakano kiki kye tulina okutya?" Okuyigganya bwe kwaka, kya kitalo eddembe kwe liwa omwana wa Katonda! Tewabaawo lulimi lwa ddembe okusinga olwa Luteeri! Tewabaawo kamwa ka buvumu okusinga aka Yokaana Nokisi! Tewabaawo kwogera kwa buvumu okusinga okwa Yokaana Kalivini! Tewabaawo mutima gwa buvumu okusinga ogwo ogwakuba wansi w’embiriizi za Wikirifu! Tewabaawo musajja ayinza okwolekagana n’obupaapa n’obuvumu okusinga Yokaana Buladifoodi oba Hyu Latima! Naye wansi wa Katonda abasajja bano baalina eddembe ery’okwogera n’eddembe ery’omutima olw’ekyo nti ensi yabagoba okuva mu ssuubi lyonna ery’ekisa kyayo ne kityo esumulula ebisiba byabwe!

Ate, Setaani bw’atuteeka mu kikoomi, emirundi mingi aba ye nsonga ey’okumenya ebisiba. Bakristaayo bameka abasibiddwa ebisiba by’embeera n’enneewulira—ebisiba by’okwesigama ku kintu ekiri munda—mu kifo ky’okuwummulira ku

Kristo Ekiweebwayo Ekikulu? Setaani bw’ajja n’okukema kwe okw’amaanyi, abwatuka nti, "Temuli baana ba Katonda." Kale, kiki? Lwaki, awo tugenda butereevu eri Kristo okutunuulira n’okulaba okukulukuta kw’omusaayi gwe ogw’omuwendo ne tumwesiga nga bwe twakola okusooka! Kaakano ate embeera n’enneewulira? Ate n’okwewulira okw’omunda? Lwaki, tuli basanyufu nnyo n’omulimu ogwo ogwaggwa ku Musaalaba nga tetukyawulira bisiba bya kubuusabuusa na kutya! Kaakano tuli ba ddembe, kubanga tuzze okubeera ku Kristo so si ku ffe fennyini!

Okukemebwa okw’amaanyi kuyinza okuba ng’amayengo agasuula omulunnyanja ku lwazi—kuyinza okutusembeza kumpi ne Kristo. Empewo embi y’eyo etaganyula muntu n’omu. Naye empewo esinga obubi Setaani gy’asobola okuweereza egasa Omukristaayo kubanga emwanguyiza okusembera kumpi ne Mukama we! Okukemebwa mukisa munene bwe kusumulula ebisiba byaffe eby’okwesiga ffekka n’okwesigama ku mbeera n’enneewulira. Ku by’okubonaabona Katonda kw’aweereza, tekusumulula bisiba byaffe? Baganda abaagalwa, okubuusabuusa n’okutya bitera nnyo okutubaako mu makkati g’emirimu ne bizinensi okusinga bwe tussibwa ku bbali obulwadde. Simanyi bwe mukirabye, naye bwe kiri, "buli bwe mba omunafu, olwo nga ndi wa maanyi."

Abakkiriza bangi bayimba obulungi ennyo Okuluŋŋamya kwa Katonda bwe kusala ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, oba bwe kubateeka mu kkomera. Basirika ddala era emitima gyabwe eri Mukama giba mizito nnyo okutuusa lwe bagwa mu buzibu. Awo okukkiriza kwabwe ne kuzukuka! Essuubi lyabwe ne likomawo! Okwagala kwabwe ne kwaka era ne bayimba okutendereza Katonda mu muliro! Temuwulirangako, mikwano abaagalwa, emirundi mingi nti obuzibu busala emiguwa egitusiba ku nsi? Mukama bw’aggyawo omwana, wabaawo ekisiba kimu ekikendezeddwa ku eky’okusiba ku nsi era ekisiba kimu ekyeyongedde okusika okwolekera Eggulu. Katonda akusumuludde okuva mu bisiba by’okusinza ebifaananyi ng’aggyawo omwana wo omwagalwa. Toyinza kuddayo kusinza mwana wo omuto, kubanga aggyiddwawo.

Ssente bwe zibula era bizinensi byonna bwe bivunda, tugenda nnyo mu Nkuŋŋaana z’Okusaba n’omu kasenge n’okusinga era ne tusoma Bayibuli okusinga—tugobebwa okuva ku nsi ebibonoobono byonna. Singa byonna bitugendera bulungi, twandirandise okugamba nti, "Mwoyo, wummula." Naye ebintu bwe bitugendera bubi, olwo twagala okugenda. Omuti bwe gunyeenya, ekinyonyi tekiisigale mu kisu, wabula kikwata ebiwaawaatiro ne kibuuka. Buzibu bwa ssanyu obusumulula okufaayo kwaffe okw’ensi! Baweeko ennaku ntono ez’obulumi obukambwe ku kitanda eky’obulwadde n’oleka okwagala obulamu nnyo nga bw’obwagala kaakano! Otandika okugamba nti, "Nzikirize ŋŋende."

Lwaki, n’obwerowoozi bukuleetera okwegomba ekyo. Awo osobola okutegeera Dawudi kye yategeeza bwe yagamba nti omutima gwe n’omubiri gwe byakoowoola Katonda omulamu. Kizibu okufuula omubiri okukoowoola Katonda—naye bw’ogunyiga bulungi, n’okyusa akasumuluzo katono okugenda mu maaso, n’ogugolola ku kalabba katono n’okwongera—omubiri omusiru, ogw’ensi, gutandika okukaaba nti guveewo ne guleka obulumi n’obulwadde emabega! Bwe ntyo, ndowooza, mbalaze, wadde nga mu bufunze nnyo, kubanga ebiseera bitulemedde, nti abatukuvu bafiirwa ekintu mu kikoomi kye basanyuka okufiirwa—basuulibwa nga basibiddwa, naye wakati mu manda agaaka basumululwa!

III. Mu kifo eky’okusatu, ABATUKUVU KYE BAKOLA EYO. "Naye nga ndaba abasajja bana nga basumuluddwa nga batambulira wakati mu muliro." Okutambula! Laba ennimiro ezo ezaateekebwateekebwa obulungi ennyo n’endabika ez’enjawulo? Zirimu enzizi ezikulukuta, ebimuli ebimyufu n’ebimera ebiwunya obulungi. Waliwo ebisulo ebisirikivu wano ne wali n’entebe eziwummuza ezigonvu—era eyo n’eddoboozi ery’essanyu—abavubuka n’abawala batambula. Laba endabika eyo ennungi! Kyuka wano—ekikoomi ekyaka omuliro, ekyokezza n’amaanyi ennyo amaaso ne gawulira nga bookeddwa okuva mu bituli byago nga gakitunuulira. Era ebbugumu ery’amaanyi lifukumuka ng’enjuba yennyini efunye ennyumba ku nsi! Kyokka waliwo abasajja bana abatambula mu kikoomi ekyo—nga batambulira mu ku wewuka kwabwe!

Era waliwo essanyu erisingako nga batambulira wakati mu nnimi ezo eza salufa, essanyu erisingawo mu myoyo gyabwe okusinga mu bavubuka n’abawala abo abatambulira mu bimuli! Batambula—akabonero k’essanyu, ak’okuwewuka, ak’emirembe, ak’okuwummula—so si okubuukabuuka ng’emizimu egitatereera, ng’emyoyo egyawukanako emibiri egiyita mu muliro. Nedda, batambula n’ebigere ebituufu, nga balinnyirira ku manda agaaka ng’agali amalanga ne bawunyiriza ennimi eza salufa ng’ezitaaleeta kintu kirala okuggyako akaloosa akawoomerera! Enoka "yatambula ne Katonda." Lwe lutambulo lw’Omukristaayo, lwe lutambulo lwe olwa bulijjo—oluusi addukana—naye olutambulo lwe olwa bulijjo kwe kutambula ne Katonda, okutambulira mu Mwoyo.

Era mwetegereze nti abasajja bano abalungi tebeeyongera kwanguya lutambulo lwabwe so tebaluwewula—beeyongera okutambula nga bwe baakolanga bulijjo. Baalina obuteefu obutukuvu bwe bumu n’emirembe egy’omutima bye baasanyukiranga awalala. Okutambula kwabwe tekulaga eddembe lyabwe n’okuwewuka kwabwe n’essanyu lyabwe n’obuteefu bwabwe byokka, wabula kulaga amaanyi gaabwe! Ebinywa byabwe tebyakutulwa, baali batambula. Oluusi abantu ba Katonda, nga Yakobo ku mugga Yaboki, bawenyera ku kisambi—naye ndowooza nti buzibu butono bwokka bulemaza Abakkiriza—okugezesebwa okusingako kulibazzaawo obulungi. Omugga gw’obuzibu guyinza kumpi okuvuunika Omukkiriza—naye amataba g’okugezesebwa galimusitula ng’essanduuko bwe yasituka, okumpi n’Eggulu. Abasajja bano tebaalina lutambulo lwa kuwenyera—baali batambula—batambulira wakati mu muliro!

Kaakano, olw’okunnyonnyola bino byonna, kyuka olabe ebyafaayo by’obulamu bw’abatukuvu ba Katonda bonna. Waliwo ekitabo eky’edda eky’Ekisukoti ekiyitibwa "Napthali"—bwe bulamu bw’abantu ba Katonda abo abateeka obulamu bwabwe mu kabi okutuusa ku kufa mu bifo ebigulumivu eby’omu ttale. Kaakano, bw’osoma "Napthali," ojja kusanga nti essanyu erisingira ddala eryali lisobola okumanyibwa mu bulamu buno obufa lyasanyukirwa Abaendagaano wakati mu bunnyafu n’ebbali n’oku njegoyego z’ensozi za Sukotilandi. Waliwo ekitabo ekirala eky’omukisa eky’edda ekyasibibwanga mu makanisa awamu ne Bayibuli—njogera "Foxe’s Book of Martyrs." Buli maka gandibadde ne kkopi yaakyo, eriko ebifaananyi abaana okutunuulira. Era bw’osoma "Foxe’s Book of Martyrs," ojja kulaba bulungi nti waaliwo essanyu erisingawo mu kinnya ky’amanda ekya Boneri ow’edda ne mu munaala gwa Lollard, okusinga embiri za bakabaka ze zaamanya!

Abaafiira okukkiriza baawulira Eggulu ery’essanyu nga babonyaabonyezebwa Omuliro Ogutagwa ogw’obulumi! Omu Samwiri yakuumibwa mu njala wiiki nnyingi, ng’aweebwa emmere n’amazzi mu ngeri ey’okwawukanya—okuluma emmere emirundi esatu oba ena olunaku olumu awatali mazzi. Ne ku lunaku olwaddirira ebijiiko bitono eby’amazzi awatali mmere. Bwe yamala akaseera katono mu mbeera ng’eyo, yagwa mu ssanyu ettuufu ery’ekitalo! Yalowooza nti awulira malayika ng’amugamba nti, "Samwiri, obonyaabonyezebwa bw’otyo mu bulumi era osiibidde ku lwa Mukama wo. Mu bwangu ojja kulya embaga naye waggulu—mu kiseera kino ojja kulya embaga naye wano wansi mu mwoyo gwo." Bangi era bangi ku baana ba Katonda babaddewo n’okuyitamu okulaga bulungi ekisa eky’okwagala ekya Mukama! Yee, baali batambulira wakati mu kikoomi!

Laba Pawulo ne Siira n’ebigere byabwe mu nvuba n’emigongo gyabwe egisaddaala nga giva omusaayi ku ttaka ery’amayinja eribisiwaze ery’ekkomera ery’Abaruumi e Firipi, kyokka bayimba era abasibe ne babawulira! Lwaki, ndowooza nnandisiimye okuba ne Pawulo ne Siira nga bwe nnandibadde ne Peetero bwe yali ku lusozi. Wabula, abaana abatukuvu abasatu bayinza okuba nga baagamba owookuna, eyali Omubasanyusa era Munnaabwe, ekyo Peetero kye yagamba Mukama we—"Mukama waffe, nga kya kitalo ffe okubeera wano! Ka tuzimbe ensiisira ssatu tubeere wansi w’akasolya akaaka ak’amatabi gano ag’ennimi z’omuliro, kubanga kya ssanyu okubeera gy’oli, ne bwe kiba mu kikoomi kya Nebukadduneeza."

IV. Mu kifo eky’okuna, KYE BATAAFIIRWA EYO? Ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, "nga tebaliiko kabi ke bakolebbwako." Tebaafiirwa kintu eyo. Naye tuyinza okwogera ku bo, okusooka, emibiri gyabwe tegyalumizibwa. Omwana wa Katonda tafiirwa mu kikoomi kintu kyonna ekya nnamba eky’omuwendo okukuuma. Tafiirwa bulamu bwe obw’omwoyo—obwo tebufa. Tafiirwa Ebisa bye ebya Katonda—abifuna nga birongooseddwa era nga byazza obungi era okumasamasa kwabyo kulabikira bulungi ennyo mu kitangaala ky’ekikoomi. Ebirabo Omukristaayo by’aweebwa Katonda Omwoyo Omutukuvu tebiggibwako mikono gy’omuliro egyaka. Omukristaayo tafiirwa ngoye ze eyo. Olaba enkoofiira zaabwe n’engatto zaabwe n’engoye zaabwe tezaayokebwa, so tewaali kawoowo ka muliro ku bo.

Era bwe kityo n’Omukristaayo—ekyambalo kye lwe lugoye olulungi Kristo kennyini lwe yakola mu bulamu bwe era lwe yasiiga mu langi eya kakobe ey’omusaayi gwe. Luno lubikkibwa ku Mukristaayo ng’ekkanzu ye etafa ey’ekitiibwa n’obulungi—

Ekyambalo kino ekitukuvu kigumira bwe kimu
Obutonde bwe bwonoonese ne buggwaamu emyaka.
Tewali myaka giyinza kukyusa langi yaakyo ey’ekitiibwa,
Ekyambalo kya Kristo bulijjo kiggya.

Nga bwe kitalumizibwa myaka, so si nnyenje, so si nvunyu, so si kutu, bwe kityo tekiyinza kukwatibwa muliro. Omutukuvu bw’alirinnya mu Ggulu, ng’ayambadde obutuukirivu bwa Kristo, n’ekibuuzo bwe kibuuzibwa nti, "Bano baani?" ng’emyoyo gikuŋŋaanira okubeetooloola, tewaliba bubonero bwonna ku bo obw’okuyigganya oba okubonaabona kwonna kwe baayisibwamu. Omukristaayo tafiirwa n’akatundu kamu ak’eby’obugagga bwe bw’ayita mu kikoomi—mazima, okufunza mu kigambo kimu—tafiirwa kintu.

Nnamasole yatiisatiisa okuwaŋŋangusa Kurisosutomu. "Ekyo toosobole kukikola," bw’ayogera, "kubanga ensi yange eri mu buli kifo." "Naye nzija kukuggyako ebintu byo." "Nedda," bw’ayogera, "ekyo toosobole kukikola, kubanga ndi muweereza wa Kristo omwavu, era sirina n’ekimu." "Kale," bw’ayogera, "nzija kukuggyako eddembe lyo." "Ekyo toyinza kukikola, kubanga emisumaali gy’ekyuma tegiyinza kusiba mwoyo gwa ddembe." "Nzija kukuggyako obulamu bwo," bw’ayogera. "Ekyo oyinza okukikola," bw’ayogera, "mu ngeri emu, naye nnina obulamu obutaggwaawo ggwe by’otoyinza kukwatako." Nnamasole yalowooza nti kirungi aleke omusajja—teyandimukoze kabi! Bwe kityo kirungi omulabe okuleka omwana wa Katonda, kubanga oyo asamba abantu ba Katonda, asamba n’ebigere ebyereere ku nkato. Era ng’ente ekubbwa akakato bwe yeerumya yokka bw’egisamba, bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri bonna abakwata ku batukuvu ba Katonda omulamu. Tebalumizibwa era tebalirumizibwa emirembe gyonna.

Kaakano, kizibu eri abamu ku mmwe okulowooza nti bwe kityo bwe kiriba, naye bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri mmwe mwenna abateeka mu butuufu obwesige bwammwe mu Yesu Kristo. Baganda bange, mmanyi mutya ekikoomi ekyo—ani atandikitya? Naye buvumu, buvumu, buvumu! Mukama, akkiriza ekikoomi ekyo okukoomebwa, ajja kubakuuma mu kyo, noolwekyo temutya! Mwandyagadde okubeera obulamu ne muba n’olugero olw’okubuulira nga mulirinnya mu Ggulu—temwandisirise eyo! Okujja mu Kitiibwa awatali kikolwa kya buvumu kya kunyumya mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka? Kaakano, toyinza kubeera wa kitiibwa awatali kulwana—toyinza kuba muwanguzi awatali kutabaala! Toyinza mu ngeri yonna kubeera na kintu kyonna eky’okujuliza Ekitiibwa kya Katonda okuggyako ng’ogezesa n’ogezaako ebisuubizo n’obwesigwa bw’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo. Era wa wa gy’osobola okukola kino okuggyako mu kikoomi ky’ennaku? Beera n’obuvumu obulungi, kale—

Ennimi z’omuliro tezijja kukulumya,
Nteekateeka bisasiro byo byokka okumalibwawo Ne zaabu yo okulongoosebwa.

V. Ekitundu eky’enkomerero, era oboolyawo ekisinga okusanyusa mu kyawandiikibwa, kiri nti, ANI YE YALI NABO MU KIKOOMI? Waaliwo owookuna era yali mumasamasa era wa kitiibwa nnyo n’amaaso ga Nebukadduneeza omukaafiiri ne gasobola okulaba obulungi obw’ekyewuunyo obwamwetoolodde! "Owookuna," bw’ayogera, "ng’afaanana ng’omwana wa bakatonda." Endabika ki Kristo gye yali ayambadde eyategeerekeka omufuzi oyo omukaafiiri, sisobola kwogera, naye ndowooza nti yalabika mu kitundu ky’Ekitiibwa ekyo mwe yeeraga omuweereza we Yokaana mu Kubikkulirwa. Bwe butyo bwe bwali obulungi obungi ennyo n’okumasamasa—empewo eyali efaanana nga eya Katonda eyamwetoolodde, okumyansa kw’amaaso ge n’obulungi obw’entambula ye nga atambulira omuliro n’abo abasatu abalala—ne Nebukadduneeza yennyini ne yeeremererwa okwogera nti yafaanana ng’omwana wa Katonda!

Abaagalwa, muteekwa okuyingira mu kikoomi bwe muba mwagala okukolagana okusinga okumpi n’okwagalibwa ne Kristo Yesu! Mukama buli lw’alabika, aba eri abantu be nga bali mu mbeera y’okulwana. Musa yalaba Katonda e Kolebu, naye kyali mu kisaka ekyaka omuliro. Yoswa yamulaba, naye kyali n’ekitala ekisowoddwa mu mukono gwe, okulaga nti abantu be bakyali bantu ba lutalo. Era wano abatukuvu we baalabira Omulokozi waabwe, kyali nga Ye kennyini mu kikoomi. Ekirowoozo ekisinga obugagga Omukristaayo, oboolyawo, ky’asobola okubeeraho kye kino—Kristo ali mu kikoomi naye! Bw’obonaabona, Kristo abonaabona. Tewali kitundu ky’omubiri kiyinza kulumizibwa nga omutwe tegugumira mugabo gwakyo.

Era bw’otyo ggwe, ekitundu ky’omubiri gwa Kristo, mu buli bulumi bw’owulira, olumya omutwe Kristo Yesu. Nga Bakisita bw’agamba, "Kristo atuyisa mu bisenge tebiri bya kizikiza kusinga bye yayitamu edda." Era omuntu ayinza okukyongerako n’agamba nti, "Atuyisa mu bisenge tebiri bya kizikiza wabula ye, Ye kennyini, ali eyo mu kizikiza era ekizikiza ekyo akifuula ekitangaala olw’Okubeerawo kwe, ng’asanyusa era ng’ajaguza emitima gyaffe." Mmanyi nti eri ow’ensi kino kifaanana ng’okusanyusibwa okunafu nnyo, naye bw’oba tonnanywa wayini ono toyinza kusala musango ku kawoowo kaakyo. Kabaka bw’aba tannakutwala mu nnyumba ye ey’embaga era bendera ye eri ku ggwe bw’etabanga kwagala. Bw’aba tannakunywegera n’okunywegera okw’akamwa ke. Bw’aba tannakugamba nti, "Ndi wuwo, era ggwe wange," lwaki, toyinza kusuubirwa kumanya ky’otonnayitamu!

Naye oyo eyanywako omulundi gumu ku luzzi lwa Besirekemu yanditeeka obulamu bwe mu kabi alyoke afune ekikompe kyalwo omulundi omulala! Yandibadde mwetegefu okuyita mu kikoomi ne bwe kyandikoomeddwa emirundi kasanvuka okusingawo obwokezi, alyoke asobole okulaba nate omwana wa Katonda oyo, owookuna Omumasamasa eyalinnyirira ku manda agaaka! Okubeerawo kwa Kristo ye ssanyu erisinga okumasamasa wansi w’emmunyeenye! Ayi Omukristaayo, kunoonye! Toematiziba awatali kwo era ojja kukufuna!

Ekirowoozo ekitasanyusa nnyo kivaayo ne kyewaana okwogerwa nga tetunnaggala okwogera kwaffe. Saagala kukomekkereza nakyo kyokka obwesigwa bunsaba okukyogera—kiriba kiki okusuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyo ekyaka omuliro nga Kristo tamulimu! Kiriba kiki okubeera n’okwaka okutaggwaawo! Omutima gw’omuntu gukuba nnyo ku kulowooza ku basajja abasatu abaavu nga basuulibwa mu kikoomi kya Nebukadduneeza ekyo, ne kolaasi waakyo ayaka n’ennimi z’omuliro nga zituuka waggulu ng’ezaali zijja kukoleeza eggulu omuliro! Kyokka omuliro ogwo tegwasobola kukwata ku baana abasatu—gwali si muliro gwokya. Naye, Abawulizi bange, mulabulwe, waliwo Omu ali "muliro ogwokya," era bw’aliraga obusungu bwe tewali n’omu ayinza kubawonya!

"Katonda waffe," batugamba, "Katonda waffe, gwe muliro ogwokya." Olunaku lujja, lwokya ng’ekikoomi, n’ab’amalala bonna n’abo bonna abakola ebibi baliba bisasiro era buli mwoyo ku nsi ogutakkiriza mu Kristo Yesu gulisuulibwa mu kikoomi ky’omuliro ekyo—kuno kwe kufa okwokubiri. Mwekuume, mmwe abeerabira Katonda, si kulwa ng’omuliro ogutaggwaawo ogwa Tofeeti gubookera ku mmwe—kubanga ennimi zaagwo zinoonya mu nnyingo ne mu busomyo era zikoleeza omwoyo omuliro n’okubonyaabonyezebwa! Eri mmwe, Abawulizi bange, abawulirizza Enjiri emirundi mingi, naye ne mugiwulira bwereere—eri mmwe ekikoomi ky’obusungu bwa Katonda kirikoomebwa emirundi musanvu okusingawo era mulisuulibwa nga musibiddwa wakati mu kyo, obutaddayo kusumululwa.

Era mu kifo ky’okuba ne Kristo, olwo, okubeera nawe n’okukusanyusa, olimulaba ng’atudde ku Ntebe ye ey’Obwakabaka era okutunula kwe okw’okumyansa kwa ggulu kulyongera obutasalako okukoleeza omuliro ogwo okusinga okutiisa, era n’okweyongera okutiisa! Singa wasuulibwa mu kikoomi kya Nebukadduneeza, kyandiggwedde mu kaseera, so n’amagumba go tegandizuuliddwa! Naye omwoyo tegufa. Ekibonerezo ky’ababi kiba n’obuwanvu bwe bumu n’empeera y’abatuukirivu. Obwenkanya bulibeerawo emirembe gyonna mu birowoozo bya Katonda era bulibeera n’ebintu bwe buliraga okwo. Singa omwoyo gwafa, Ggeyeena teyandibadde ggeyeena, kubanga olwo wandibaddewo essuubi. Bwe kityo ekintu ekisinga obutiisa eky’obutaba na ssuubi kyandiggiddwawo.

Omwonoonyi, toloota ku kuzikirizibwa ddala, wabula tya envunyu gye zitafa n’omuliro gye gutazikira! Kyawandiikibwa mu Kigambo kya Katonda nti "ayinza okuzikiriza byombi omwoyo n’omubiri mu ggeyeena," okuzikirira okutatuuka ku kuzikirizibwa ddala, okuzikiriza buli kintu eky’obulamu obw’amazima, naye ekireka okubeerawo nga tekukwatiddwako—

" Kiki? Okuwaŋŋangusibwa okumala obulamu bwange, Okulwawo mu bulumi obutaggwaawo Ate nga ngaaniddwa okufa— Ate nga nfa emirembe gyonna!"

Kya ntiisa, mazima, okusalirwa okufaanana ng’okwo! Waliwo okufa okwokubiri okulituuka ku bonna abatatya Katonda, naye si kuzikirizibwa ddala! Ng’okufa bwe kutazikiriza mubiri, bwe kutyo n’okufa okw’omwoyo tekuzikiriza mwoyo—olifiirwa obulamu naye tolifiirwa kubeerawo! Olulwawo mu kufa okutaggwaawo!

Naye Omulokozi ayimiridde awo era nga bwe yali n’abantu be mu kikoomi, bw’atyo ali kumpi naawe leero mu kusaasira, okukununula okuva mu bibi byo! Akuyita oleke ebibi byo omutunuulire, olwo toolifa era ne ku ggwe ennimi z’obusungu tezirikubookera kubanga amaanyi gaazo gaamaliddwa ku Ye! Yawulira ekikoomi ky’obusungu bwa Katonda era yalinnyirira ku manda agaaka ku lwa buli mwoyo ogumukkiriza. Katonda awe omukisa gwe ku lwa Yesu. Amiina.

EKITUNDU KY’EKYAWANDIIKIBWA EKYASOMEBWA NG’EKKUBIRIZO TEKINNABA KUBUULIRWA—Danyeri 3
