Obulokozi olw’Okukkiriza

“Mwalokolebwa lwa kisa olw’okukkiriza.”

1. Emikisa gyonna Katonda gy’awadde omuntu giva mu kisa kye kyokka, mu bugagga bwe, oba mu kwagala kwe; okwagala kwe okwa buwa, okutasaanyizibwa; okwagala okutasaanyizibwa n’akatono; omuntu ng’atalina buyinza kwewaanira ku kusaasira kwe okusinga obutono. Kyali kisa kya buwa “ekyabumba omuntu okuva mu nfuufu ey’oku nsi ne kimufuuwa omukka ogw’obulamu,” ne kissa ku mwoyo ogwo ekifaananyi kya Katonda, ne kissa “byonna wansi w’ebigere bye.” Ekisa kya buwa kye kimu kituusa n’okutuusa leero obulamu, n’omukka, ne byonna. Kubanga tewali kye tuli, oba kye tulina, oba kye tukola, ekiyinza okusaanira n’ekintu ekisinga obutono mu mukono gwa Katonda. “Ebyo byonna bye tukoze, ggw’obitukoledde.” Kale bino nabyo bye byokulabirako ebirala ebingi eby’okusaasira okwa buwa; era buli butuukirivu obuyinza okulabika mu muntu, nabwo kirabo kya Katonda.

2. Kale omuntu omwonoonyi anaatangiririra atya n’ekibi kye ekisinga obutono? N’ebikolwa bye ye? Nedda. Ne bwe byandibadde bingi oba bitukuvu bitya, si bibye ye, wabula bya Katonda. Naye mu mazima byonna si bitukuvu era bya kibi mu byo, ne kiba nti buli kimu ku byo kyetaaga okutangirira okuggya. Ku muti omuvundu kwe kula ebibala ebivundu byokka. N’omutima gwe guvunze era gwa muzizo; kubanga “tegutuusa ku kitiibwa kya Katonda,” obutuukirivu obw’ekitiibwa obwasooka okuteekebwa ku mwoyo gwe, ng’ekifaananyi ky’Omutonzi we omukulu. Kale, ng’atalina kya kwewolereza, newaakubadde obutuukirivu newaakubadde bikolwa, akamwa ke kaziyizibwa ddala mu maaso ga Katonda.

3. Kale obanga abantu aboonoonyi basanga ekisa mu maaso ga Katonda, kiba “kisa ku kisa!” Katonda bw’ayongera okutuyiwako emikisa emiggya, weewaawo, omukisa ogusinga gyonna, obulokozi; kiki kye tuyinza okwogera ku bino, okuggyako nti, “Katonda yeebazibwe olw’ekirabo kye ekitayogerekeka!” Era bwe kiri. Mu kino “Katonda alaga okwagala kwe gye tuli, mu ngeri eno: bwe twali tukyali boonoonyi, Kristo n’atufiirira” okutulokola. “Lwa kisa” nno “mwalokolebwa olw’okukkiriza.” Ekisa ye nsulo, okukkiriza kwe kikomo, eky’obulokozi.

Kale, tuleme okuggwaako ekisa kya Katonda, kitugwanira okwebuuza n’obwegendereza nti,—

I. Kukkiriza ki okwo kwe tulokolwa.

II. Bulokozi ki obwo obuva mu kukkiriza.

III. Tuyinza tutya okwanukula ebibuuzo ebimu.

I. Kukkiriza ki okwo kwe tulokolwa.

1. Era, okusooka, si kwe kukkiriza kwa mukaafiiri kwokka.

Kaakano, Katonda asaba omukaafiiri okukkiriza “nti Katonda waali; era nti abo abamunoonya n’obwesigwa abawa empeera;” era nti asaana okunoonyezebwa nga tumugulumiza nga Katonda, nga tumwebaza olwa buli kintu, era nga tugoberera empisa entuukirivu, ez’obwenkanya, n’okusaasira, n’amazima, eri bannaffe abatonde. Kale Omuyonaani oba Omuruumi, weewaawo Omusukusi oba Omuyindi, teyandibaddeko kya kwewolereza singa yagaana okukkiriza ekyo kyokka: okubaawo kwa Katonda n’engeri ze, embeera ey’omu maaso ey’empeera n’ekibonerezo, n’okusaana kw’empisa entuukirivu okutusiba. Kubanga kuno kwe kukkiriza kwa mukaafiiri kwokka.

2. So si, ekyokubiri, kwe kukkiriza kwa Setaani, newaakubadde kuno kusukka nnyo okwa mukaafiiri. Kubanga Setaani akkiriza, si kwokka nti waliwo Katonda ow’amagezi era ow’amaanyi, ow’ekisa okuwa empeera, era ow’obwenkanya okubonereza; naye era nti Yesu ye Mwana wa Katonda, Kristo, Omulokozi w’ensi. Bwe tutyo tumusanga ng’alangirira mu bigambo ebitegeeka nti, “Nze nkumanyi, ggwe mutukuvu wa Katonda” (Lukka 4:34). So tetuyinza kubuusabuusa nti omwoyo ogwo ogutali gwa mukisa gukkiriza ebigambo byonna ebyava mu kamwa k’Oyo Omutukuvu, weewaawo, ne buli kirala kyonna ekyawandiikibwa abasajja abatukuvu ab’edda, ku babiri ku bo Setaani gwe yawalirizibwa okuwa obujulizi obw’ekitiibwa nti, “Abasajja bano baddu ba Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, era babategeeza ekkubo ly’obulokozi.” Kale ekyo kyennyini, omulabe omukulu owa Katonda n’owa muntu akikkiriza, era akankana ng’akikkiriza,—nti Katonda yalabisibwa mu mubiri; nti alissa “abalabe be bonna wansi w’ebigere bye;” era nti “Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu byonna, Katonda ye yabiruŋŋamya nga biwandiikibwa.” Wano we kutuuka okukkiriza kwa Setaani.

3. Ekyokusatu. Okukkiriza kwe tulokolwa, mu makulu ago ag’ekigambo agagenda okunnyonnyolwa oluvannyuma, si kwe kukkiriza abatume bo bennyini kwe baalina Kristo bwe yali akyali ku nsi; newaakubadde nga baamukkiriza ne “baleka byonna ne bamugoberera;” newaakubadde nga baalina obuyinza okukola ebyamagero, “okuwonya buli ndwadde na buli bulwadde;” weewaawo, baalina “obuyinza n’obwami ku baddayimooni bonna;” era, ekisinga bino byonna, baatumibwa Mukama waabwe “okubuulira obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”

4. Kale kukkiriza ki okwo kwe tulokolwa? Kiyinza okwanukulwa, okusooka, mu bujjuvu, nti kwe kukkiriza mu Kristo: Kristo, ne Katonda ng’ayita mu Kristo, be bagendererwa baakwo abatuufu. Kale mu kino, kwawukanira ddala ku kukkiriza kw’abakaafiiri, ab’edda oba ab’omulembe guno. Ne ku kukkiriza kwa Setaani kwawukana mu kino: si kya kulowooza kyokka, kya magezi gokka, kukkiriza kwa nnyweera nga tekuliimu bulamu, mulundi gwa birowoozo mu mutwe; naye era mpisa ya mutima. Kubanga bw’atyo Ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, “Omuntu akkiriza na mutima gwe n’aweebwa obutuukirivu;” era nti, “Bw’oyatula n’akamwa ko nti, Yesu ye Mukama, n’okkiriza n’omutima gwo nga Katonda yamuzuukiza mu bafu, olokoka.”

5. Era mu kino kwawukana ku kukkiriza abatume kwe baalina Mukama waffe bwe yali ku nsi, nti kukkiriza obwetaavu n’omugaso gw’okufa kwe, n’amaanyi g’okuzuukira kwe. Kukkiriza okufa kwe ng’ekkubo lyokka erimala okununula omuntu okuva mu kufa okutaggwaawo, n’okuzuukira kwe ng’okutuzza ffenna eri obulamu n’obutafa; kubanga “yaweebwayo okuttibwa olw’ebibi byaffe, n’azuukizibwa tulyoke tuweebwe obutuukirivu.” Kale okukkiriza okw’Ekikristaayo, si kukkiriza njiri yonna eya Kristo kyokka, naye era kwesiga kwenkanaŋŋanwa ku musaayi gwa Kristo; kwesiga omugaso gw’obulamu bwe, n’okufa kwe, n’okuzuukira kwe; kumwesigama nga ye kwe kutangirira kwaffe era obulamu bwaffe, ng’eyatuweebwayo era ng’abeera mu ffe; era, olw’ekyo, kwegatta naye, n’okumunywerera, nga ye “magezi gaffe, butuukirivu bwaffe, kutukuzibwa kwaffe, n’okununulibwa kwaffe,” oba, mu kigambo kimu, obulokozi bwaffe.

II. Bulokozi ki obwo obuva mu kukkiriza kuno, kye kintu eky’okubiri eky’okulowoozebwako.

1. Era, okusooka, ne bwe bwandibadde nga butegeeza kirala kyonna, bwe bulokozi obwa kaakano. Kye kintu ekiyinza okufunibwa, weewaawo, ekifunibwa ddala, ku nsi, abo abassa ekimu mu kukkiriza kuno. Kubanga bw’atyo omutume bw’agamba abakkiriza ab’omu Efeso, era mu bo abakkiriza ab’emirembe gyonna, si nti, Muligenda kulokolebwa (newaakubadde nga na kino kya mazima), naye nti, “Mwalokolebwa olw’okukkiriza.”

2. Mwalokolebwa (okugatta byonna mu kigambo kimu) okuva mu kibi. Buno bwe bulokozi obuva mu kukkiriza. Buno bwe bulokozi obukulu malayika bwe yalangirira, nga Katonda tannaaleeta Omubereberye we mu nsi: “Olimutuuma erinnya Yesu, kubanga y’alirokola abantu be mu bibi byabwe.” So tewali, wano oba mu bitundu ebirala eby’ebyawandiikibwa ebitukuvu, kkomo oba kuziyiza kwonna. Abantu be bonna, oba, nga bwe kyogerwa awalala, “bonna abamukkiriza,” alibalokola mu bibi byabwe byonna; okuva mu kibi eky’obuzaaliranwa n’eky’ebikolwa, eky’edda n’ekya kaakano, “eky’omubiri n’eky’omwoyo.” Olw’okukkiriza okuli mu ye, balokolebwa okuva mu musango era n’okuva mu maanyi gaakwo.

3. Okusooka. Okuva mu musango gw’ekibi kyonna eky’edda: kubanga, ensi yonna ng’erina omusango mu maaso ga Katonda, ne kiba nti singa “atubalira obutali butuukirivu bwaffe, tewali ayinza kuyimirira mu maaso ge;” era nga, “mu mateeka mwe tutegeerera ddala ekibi,” naye nga tegatuggya mu kyo, ne kiba nti, “olw’ebikolwa by’amateeka tewali n’omu aliweebwa obutuukirivu mu maaso ga Katonda:” kaakano, “obutuukirivu bwa Katonda butuweebwa olw’okukkiriza Yesu Kristo, eri bonna abakkiriza.” Kaakano, “baweebwa obutuukirivu bwa buwa olw’ekisa kye, olw’okununulibwa okuli mu Yesu Kristo.” “Katonda yaweereza Kristo okuba omutango, bwe tukkiriza Kristo olw’omusaayi gwe yayiwa, alyoke alage obutuukirivu bwe mu kugumiikiriza ebibi ebyakolebwa edda.” Kaakano Kristo aggyeewo “ekikolimo ky’amateeka, bwe yafuuka ekikolimo ku lwaffe.” Ye “yaggyawo ebiragiro ebyawandiikibwa ebyatwolekeranga, n’abikomerera ku musaalaba.” “Noolwekyo abo abali mu Kristo Yesu tebaliiko musango.”

4. Era bwe balokolebwa okuva mu musango, balokolebwa okuva mu kutya. Si kutya kwa mwana atya okunyiiza kitaawe; naye okuva mu kutya kwonna okwa buddu; okuva mu kutya okulina okubonaabona; okuva mu kutya ekibonerezo; okuva mu kutya obusungu bwa Katonda, gwe batakyatunuulira nga Mukama omukambwe, naye nga Kitaawe ow’ekisa. “Temwaweebwa mwoyo gwa buddu ate mutye, wabula mwaweebwa Omwoyo eyabafuula abaana, era ku bw’oyo tumukoowoola nti, Aba, Kitaffe: Omwoyo yennyini akakasiza wamu n’omwoyo waffe nga bwe tuli abaana ba Katonda.” Era balokolebwa okuva mu kutya—newaakubadde nga si mu busobozi—okugwa okuva mu kisa kya Katonda, n’okuggwaako ebisuubizo ebikulu era eby’omuwendo. Bwe batyo balina “emirembe ne Katonda, mu Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo. Beenyumiririza nga basuubira ekitiibwa kya Katonda. Era Katonda abawadde Omwoyo Omutukuvu ajjuza emitima gyabwe okwagala kwe.” Era mu ekyo bakakasibwa (newaakubadde oboolyawo si bulijjo, so si n’obujjuvu bumu obw’okukakasibwa), nti “newaakubadde okufa, wadde obulamu, wadde ebiriwo, wadde ebigenda okujja, wadde obugulumivu, wadde okukka wansi, wadde ekitonde ekirala kyonna, tewali kiriyinza kubaawukanya n’okwagala kwa Katonda okuli mu Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe.”

5. Nate: olw’okukkiriza kuno balokolebwa okuva mu maanyi g’ekibi, nga bwe balokolebwa okuva mu musango gwakyo. Bw’atyo omutume alangirira nti, “Mumanyi nti ye yalabisibwa alyoke aggyewo ebibi; era mu ye temuliimu kibi. Buli abeera mu ye tayeeyongera kukola kibi” (1 Yokaana 3:5 n’ebiddirira). Nate, “Abaana abaagalwa, temulimbibwalimbibwanga muntu n’omu. Buli akola ekibi wa Setaani. Buli akkiriza yazaalibwa Katonda. So tewali afuuka mwana wa Katonda ate ne yeeyongera okukola ekibi; kubanga ensigo ya Katonda ebeera mu ye, so tayinza kukola kibi, kubanga yazaalibwa Katonda.” Ate nate: “Tumanyi nga buli azaalibwa Katonda teyeeyongera kukola kibi; kubanga Katonda amukuuma, Setaani n’atamukola kabi” (1 Yokaana 5:18).

6. Oyo eyazaalibwa Katonda olw’okukkiriza tayeeyongera kukola kibi (1.) mu kibi kya mpisa; kubanga ekibi kyonna ekya mpisa kibi kifuga: Naye ekibi tekiyinza kufuga mu oyo yenna akkiriza. So si (2.) mu kibi kya bugenderevu: kubanga okwagala kwe, ng’akyabeera mu kukkiriza, kuwakanya ddala ekibi kyonna, era akikyawa ng’obutwa obutta. So si (3.) mu kwegomba okwonoona; kubanga bulijjo yeegomba okwagala kwa Katonda okutukuvu era okutuukiridde; era buli kkubo lyonna eridda eri okwegomba okutali kutukuvu, olw’ekisa kya Katonda, alizikiriza nga kakyali kato. So si (4.) Ayonoona mu bunafu, oba mu bikolwa, oba mu bigambo, oba mu birowoozo; kubanga obunafu bwe tebutabagana n’okwagala kwe; era awatali kwo tebiba bibi bituufu. Bw’atyo, “oyo eyazaalibwa Katonda tayeeyongera kukola kibi:” era newaakubadde nga tayinza kwogera nti tayonoonanga, kaakano “tayeeyongera kukola kibi.”

7. Buno nno bwe bulokozi obuva mu kukkiriza, weewaawo n’omu nsi eno eya kaakano: obulokozi okuva mu kibi, n’ebiva mu kibi, byombi emirundi mingi ebyoleka mu kigambo okuweebwa obutuukirivu; ekiwa amakulu, nga tukiddiza mu ngeri ejjudde, okununulibwa okuva mu musango n’ekibonerezo, olw’okutangirira kwa Kristo okussibwa ku mwoyo gw’omwonoonyi kaakano ng’amukkiriza, n’okununulibwa okuva mu maanyi g’ekibi, olwa Kristo okubumbibwa mu mutima gwe. Kale oyo eyaweebwa obutuukirivu bwe atyo, oba eyalokolwa olw’okukkiriza, mazima yazaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri. Yazaalibwa Omwoyo omulundi ogwokubiri eri obulamu obuggya, “obukwekeddwa mu Kristo mu Katonda.” Era ng’omwana omuwere yasanyukira adolon, “amata ag’omwoyo amalongoofu, n’akula olw’ago;” ng’agenda mu maaso mu maanyi ga Mukama Katonda we, okuva mu kukkiriza okutuuka mu kukkiriza, okuva mu kisa okutuuka mu kisa, okutuusa oluvannyuma, “lw’alituuka ku kigera eky’okubeera nga Kristo bw’ali.”

III. Ekibuuzo ekisooka ekya bulijjo ku kino kiri nti,

1. Nti okubuulira obulokozi oba okuweebwa obutuukirivu olw’okukkiriza kwokka, kwe kubuulira okulwanyisa obutukuvu n’ebikolwa ebirungi. Eri kino okwanukula okumpi kuyinza okuweebwa: “Kyandibadde bwe kityo, singa twogedde, nga abamu bwe bakola, ku kukkiriza okwawukana ku bino; naye twogera ku kukkiriza okutali bwe kityo, wabula okuzaala ebikolwa ebirungi byonna n’obutukuvu bwonna.”

2. Naye kiyinza okugasa okukirowoozaako mu bugazi; naddala nga si kibuuzo kiggya, wabula kikadde ng’ekiseera kya Pawulo Omutukuvu. Kubanga ne mu kiseera ekyo kyabuuzibwa nti, “Amateeka tugaggyawo olw’okukkiriza?” Twanukula nti, Okusooka, abo bonna abatabuulira kukkiriza mu bwenkanya baggyawo amateeka; oba butereevu era mu ngeri embi, olw’okukoma n’okunnyonnyola okulya omwoyo gwonna ogw’ekyawandiikibwa; oba mu bukisa, olw’obutalaga kkubo lyokka mwe kisoboka okugatuukiriza. So nga, ekyokubiri, “tunyweza amateeka,” byombi olw’okulaga obugazi bwago n’amakulu gaago ag’omwoyo; era olw’okuyita bonna eri ekkubo eryo ery’obulamu, “eby’obutuukirivu mu mateeka biryoke bituukirire mu bo.” Bano, nga bakyesiga omusaayi gwa Kristo gwokka, bakozesa ebiragiro byonna bye yateekawo, bakola “ebikolwa ebirungi byonna Katonda bye yateekerateekera nti babitambuliremu,” era beegomba era boleka empisa entukuvu era ez’omu ggulu zonna, weewaawo omwoyo gwe gumu ogwali mu Kristo Yesu.

3. Naye okubuulira okukkiriza kuno tekutwala bantu mu malala? Twanukula nti, Mu ngeri ey’embeera kiyinza: kyekiva kigwanira buli mukkiriza okulabulwa nnyo, mu bigambo by’omutume omukulu nti, “Olw’obutakkiriza” amatabi agasooka “gaawogolwako: naawe oyimiridde lwa kukkiriza. Teweenyumirizanga, naye otyanga. Kuba obanga Katonda teyasaasira matabi ga buzaaliranwa, naawe ayinza obutakusaasira. Kale mufumiitirize ku kisa n’obukambwe bwa Katonda! Eri abo abaagwa, obukambwe; naye eri ggwe, ekisa, bw’oneeyongera okunywerera mu kisa kye; naye bw’otonywere naawe oliwogolwako.” Era ng’akyanywerera mu kyo, alijjukira ebigambo bya Pawulo Omutukuvu, ng’alaba era ng’addamu ekibuuzo kino kyennyini (Baruumi 3:27): “Kale lwaki twenyumiriza? Tewali nsonga etwenyumirizisa. Lwa kuba nga twagoberera amateeka? Nedda, lwa kukkiriza.” Singa omuntu yaweebwa obutuukirivu olw’ebikolwa bye, yandibadde n’eky’okwenyumiririza. Naye tewali kya kwenyumiririza eri oyo “atakola bikolwa, naye akkiriza oyo asembeza aboonoonyi” (Baruumi 4:5). Mu ngeri y’emu bye bigambo ebikulembera n’ebiddirira ennyanjula (Baefeso 2:4 n’ebiddirira): “Katonda, agagga mu kusaasira, ne bwe twali nga tufiiridde mu bibi byaffe, yatufuula abalamu awamu ne Kristo (mwalokolebwa lwa kisa), alyoke alage, mu mirembe egigenda okujja, ekisa kye ekingi kye yatukwatirwa mu Kristo Yesu. Kubanga mwalokolebwa lwa kisa olw’okukkiriza; era ekyo tekyava mu mmwe.” Okukkiriza kwammwe n’obulokozi bwammwe tebiva mu mmwe: “kirabo kya Katonda;” ekirabo ekya buwa, ekitasaanyizibwa; okukkiriza mwe mulokolerwa, awamu n’obulokozi Katonda bw’agattako olw’okusiima kwe okwennyini, olw’ekisa kye kyokka. Nti mukkiriza, kwe kumu ku byokulabirako eby’ekisa kye; nti bwe mukkiriza mulokolebwa, kye kirala. “Si lwa bikolwa, omuntu yenna aleme okwenyumiririza.” Kubanga ebikolwa byaffe byonna, n’obutuukirivu bwaffe bwonna, obwaliwo nga tetunnakkiriza, tebyatuweesa kintu eri Katonda okuggyako okusalirwa omusango; bwe kityo byali wala nnyo okusaana okukkiriza, noolwekyo, buli lwe kuweebwa, si kwa bikolwa. So n’obulokozi si bwa bikolwa bye tukola nga tumaze okukkiriza, kubanga olwo Katonda ye akola mu ffe: era, noolwekyo, nti atuwa empeera olw’ekyo ky’akola yekka, kitenda bugagga bw’okusaasira kwe, naye tekitulekera kya kwenyumiririza.

4. “Naye, okwogera bwe kityo ku kusaasira kwa Katonda, ng’alokola oba ng’asembeza olwa buwa olw’okukkiriza kwokka, tekiyinza kuzza bantu maanyi mu kibi?” Mazima, kiyinza era kirikola bwe kityo: Bangi “beeyongera okwonoona ekisa kiryoke kyeyongere:” Naye omusaayi gwabwe guli ku mitwe gyabwe bo. Obulungi bwa Katonda busaanidde okubatwala eri okwenenya; era bwe kityo bwe kirikola abo abalina omutima omwesimbu. Bwe bamanya nga waliwo okusonyiyibwa gy’ali, balikaaba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti asangule n’ebibi byabwe nabyo, olw’okukkiriza okuli mu Yesu. Era bwe banaakaaba n’obunyiikivu ne batakoowa, bwe banaamunoonya mu byonna bye yateekawo; bwe banaagaana okusanyusibwa okutuusa lw’alijja; “alijja era talirwa.” Era ayinza okukola omulimu mungi mu kiseera kitono. Bingi eby’okulabirako, mu Bikolwa by’Abatume, eby’okukola kwa Katonda okukkiriza kuno mu mitima gy’abantu, ne kubeera ng’okumyansa okuva mu ggulu. Bwe kityo mu ssaawa y’emu Pawulo ne Siira lwe baatandika okubuulira, omukuumi w’ekkomera ne yeenenya, n’akkiriza, n’abatizibwa; nga bwe kyali ku abo enkumi ssatu, ku lwa Peetero Omutukuvu, ku lunaku lwa Pentekoote, abeenenya bonna ne bakkiriza ng’akyasooka okubuulira. Era, Katonda yeebazibwe, kaakano waliwo obujulizi bulamu bungi nti akyali “ow’amaanyi okulokola.”

5. Naye eri mazima ago gennyini, nga gassibwa mu ndaba endala, wabuuzibwa ekibuuzo ekikontana ddala nti: “Obanga omuntu tayinza kulokolebwa lwa byonna by’akola, kino kirituusa abantu mu kuggwaamu essuubi.” Kya mazima, okuggwaamu essuubi ery’okulokolebwa olw’ebikolwa byabwe, obulungi bwabwe, oba obutuukirivu bwabwe. Era bwe kisaana; kubanga tewali ayinza kwesiga mugaso gwa Kristo, okutuusa lw’alyeegaana ddala ogugwe. Oyo “agezaako okwenoonyeza obutuukirivu bwe ye” tayinza kufuna butuukirivu bwa Katonda. Obutuukirivu obuva mu kukkiriza tebuyinza kumuweebwa ng’akyesiga obwo obuva mu mateeka.

6. Naye kino, boogera, nti njigiriza etaliimu kubudaabudibwa. Setaani yayogera nga bw’ali, kwe kugamba, awatali mazima wadde ensonyi, bwe yagezaako okuteesa eri abantu nti bwe kiri bwe kityo. Ye njigiriza eri yokka ebudaabuda, “ejjudde okubudaabudibwa,” eri boonoonyi bonna abeezikiriza bokka, abeesalira omusango bokka. Nti “buli amukkiriza taliswazibwa;” nti “Mukama waabwe y’omu era ayanukula abo bonna abamukoowoola:” wano waliwo okubudaabudibwa, okuwanvu ng’eggulu, okw’amaanyi okusinga okufa! Kiki! Okusaasira eri bonna? Eri Zaakayo, omunyazi wa lukale? Eri Maliyamu Magudaleene, omwenzi owa bulijjo? Ndowooza mpulira omu ng’agamba nti “Kale nze, ne nze kennyini, nnyinza okusuubira okusaasirwa!” Era bw’otyo oyinza, ggwe eyabonyaabonyezebwa, atabuddwaako abudaabudibwa! Katonda talisuula kusaba kwo. Weewaawo, oboolyawo mu ssaawa eddako ayinza okugamba nti, “Guma omwoyo, ebibi byo bikusonyiyiddwa;” nga bisonyiyiddwa bwe bityo, ne bitaddayo kukufuga; weewaawo, era nti “Omwoyo Omutukuvu alikakasiza wamu n’omwoyo gwo nga bw’oli omwana wa Katonda.” Woowe amawulire amalungi! Amawulire ag’essanyu eddene, agatumibwa eri abantu bonna! “Woowe, buli alumwa ennyonta, mujje eri amazzi: Mujje, mugule, awatali ssente era awatali muwendo.” Ebibi byammwe ne bwe biba bitya, “newaakubadde nga bimyufu ng’olugoye olumyufu,” newaakubadde nga bisinga enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwammwe obungi, “mudde eri Mukama, naye anaabasaasira, era eri Katonda waffe, kubanga anaabasonyiyira ddala.”

7. Ebibuuzo bwe biggwaawo, olwo tugambibwa butereevu nti obulokozi olw’okukkiriza kwokka tebusaanira kubuulirwa ng’enjigiriza esooka, oba, obutasingako, tebusaanira kubuulirwa n’akatono. Naye Omwoyo Omutukuvu agamba atya? “Tewali n’omu ayinza kuteekawo musingi mulala okuggyako ogwo ogwateekebwawo, ye Yesu Kristo.” Kale nno, nti “buli amukkiriza alirokolebwa,” kwe kusaana okuba omusingi gw’okubuulira kwaffe kwonna; kwe kugamba, kusaana kubuulirwa kusooka. “Kirungi, naye si eri bonna.” Kale ani gwe tutasaanira kukibuulira? Ani gwe tuligyako? Abaavu? Nedda; balina obwetaavu obw’enjawulo okubuulirwako enjiri. Abatasoma? Nedda. Katonda yabikkulira abasajja abatasoma era abasiru bino okuva ku ntandikwa. Abato? Tekiyinzika. “Muleke abaana abato,” mu ngeri yonna, “bajje gye ndi so temubaziyiza.” Aboonoonyi? Abo be basembayo obutasaanira okugyibwako. “Sajja kuyita batuukirivu wabula abalina ebibi okwenenya.” Kale, obanga waliwo gwe tuligyako, tuligyako abagagga, abasoma, ab’ettutumu, abantu ab’empisa. Era, kya mazima, bo emirundi mingi beeggya mu kuwulira; naye tuteekwa okwogera ebigambo bya Mukama waffe. Kubanga bwe gutyo gwe muwendo gw’obutume bwaffe nti, “Mugende mubuulire Enjiri eri abantu bonna.” Omuntu yenna bw’agikyusa, oba n’ekitundu kyayo, olw’okuzikirira kwe ye, ateekwa okwetikka omugugu gwe. Naye kyokka, “nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, bye tunaawulira Mukama ng’atugamba, bye tunaayogera.”

8. Mu kiseera kino, naddala, tunaayogera nti “mwalokolebwa lwa kisa olw’okukkiriza:” kubanga tewabangawo kiseera kirungi okukuuma enjigiriza eno okusinga leero. Tewali kirala kiyinza kuziyiza ddala okweyongera kw’obulimba obw’Ekiromani mu ffe. Tekiggwaawo okulwanyisa, kimu kimu, ensobi zonna ez’Ekkanisa eyo. Naye obulokozi olw’okukkiriza busala ku mulandira, era byonna bigwa mulundi gumu awo we bunywezebwa. Yali njigiriza eno, Ekkanisa yaffe gy’eyita mu bwenkanya olwazi olw’amaanyi n’omusingi gw’eddiini y’Ekikristaayo, eyasooka okugoba Obupaapa mu bwakabaka buno; era eno yokka y’eyinza okubugaana. Tewali kirala kiyinza kukoma ku bwonoonyi obwo obwa “bunze ku nsi ng’amataba.” Oyinza okwoonoona ennyanja enene, ettondo ku ttondo? Olwo oyinza okututereeza ng’otulabula okwewala ebibi ebimu. Naye leka “obutuukirivu obuva eri Katonda olw’okukkiriza” buleetebwe, kale amayengo gaabwo ag’amalala galiziyizibwa. Tewali kirala kiyinza kuziba emimwa gy’abo “abeenyumiririza mu nsonyi zaabwe, ne beegaana mu lwatu Mukama eyabagula.” Bayinza okwogera ku mateeka mu bugulumivu, ng’oyo alina agawandiikiddwa Katonda mu mutima gwe. Okubawulira nga boogera ku nsonga eno kiyinza okuleetera omuntu okulowooza nti tebali wala na bwakabaka bwa Katonda: naye baggye mu mateeka obatuuse mu njiri; tandika n’obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza; ne Kristo, “enkomerero y’amateeka eri buli akkiriza;” kale abo abaali nga bafaanana ng’okumpi, singa si ddala, Abakristaayo, balyeraga nga baana ba kuzikirira; nga bali wala n’obulamu n’obulokozi (Katonda abasaasire!) ng’obuziba bw’omuliro obw’omu magombe bwe buli wala n’obugulumivu bw’eggulu.

9. Olw’ensonga eno omulabe abwatuka bw’atyo buli lwe “obulokozi olw’okukkiriza” bulangirirwa eri ensi: olw’ensonga eno yasitula ensi n’amagombe, okuzikiriza abo abaasooka okububuulira. Era olw’ensonga y’emu, ng’amanyi nti okukkiriza kwokka kuyinza okuvuunika emisingi gy’obwakabaka bwe, yayita amaanyi ge gonna, n’akozesa amagezi ge gonna ag’obulimba n’okuwaayiriza, okutiisa Marutini Luteeri aleme okugizza obulamu. So tetuyinza kwewuunya ekyo; kubanga, ng’omusajja wa Katonda oyo bw’agamba, “Kyandinyiiza kitya omusajja ow’amalala, ow’amaanyi era eyeetegese, okuziyizibwa n’okunyoomebwa omwana omuto ng’amujjira n’olumuli mu mukono gwe!” naddala ng’amanyi nti omwana omuto oyo alimuwangula ddala, n’amulinnyirira wansi w’ebigere. Weewaawo bwe kityo, Mukama Yesu! Bwe gutyo amaanyi go bwe gaabadde bulijjo “gatuukirira mu bunafu!” Genda nno, ggwe mwana muto akkiriza mu ye, n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo “gunaakuyigiriza eby’entiisa!” Newaakubadde ng’oli munafu era ng’oyongobevu ng’omwana ow’ennaku entono, omusajja ow’amaanyi taliyinza kuyimirira mu maaso go. Olimuwangula, n’omuwanga, n’omuvuunika, n’omulinnyirira wansi w’ebigere byo. Olitambula mu maaso, wansi w’Omuduumizi omukulu ow’obulokozi bwo, “ng’owangula era okuwangula,” okutuusa abalabe bo bonna lwe balizikirizibwa, era “okufa ne kumirwa mu buwanguzi.”

Kale, Katonda yeebazibwe, “atuwa obuwanguzi ku bwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo;” oyo, awamu ne Kitaffe n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, abe n’omukisa, n’ekitiibwa, n’amagezi, n’okwebazibwa, n’ettendo, n’obuyinza, n’amaanyi, emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina.
