Okukomolebwa kw’Omutima

“Okukomolebwa okutuufu kwe kukomolebwa okubaawo mu mutima, so si okw’omubiri.”

1. Omusajja omu omulungi ennyo yayogera n’ennaku nti oyo abuulira leero emirimu egisinga obukulu egy’Obukristaayo yeeteeka mu kabi ak’okutwalibwa, abasinga obungi ku abo abamuwuliriza, ng’omuntu “eddiini empya etali ya wano gy’ayimbirira.” Abantu abasinga obungi bamalawo mu bulamu bwabwe amakulu ag’omunda ag’eddiini gye bakyeyatula, ne kiba nti amazima ago agaawula Omwoyo wa Kristo ku mwoyo gw’ensi olwa gabaleetebwa, ne baleekaana nti, “oyogedde ebintu bingi ebyewuunyisa, noolwekyo twagala okwongera okumanya kye bitegeeza:” — Wadde nga abuulira bubuulizi “Yesu n’okuzuukira,” wamu n’ekyo ekiteekwa okukivaamu, — Obanga Kristo yazuukira, kale mmwe musaana okufa eri ensi, n’okubeera abalamu eri Katonda ddala.

2. Kino kigambo kizibu eri omuntu obuntu, Ali omulamu eri ensi, era afudde eri Katonda; era kye atajja kukkiriza mangu nti ge mazima ga Katonda, okuggyako nga kinnyonnyoddwa mu ngeri etakyalimu mugaso wadde amakulu. Ye “tasobola kufuna” ebigambo “bya Mwoyo wa Katonda,” nga bitegeerwa mu makulu gaabyo amangu era ageeyoleka; “kubanga busirusiru gy’ali, era” ddala “tasobola kubimanya, kubanga bikeberwa Mwoyo:” — Bitegeerwa mu kutegeera okw’omwoyo kwokka, okutannazuukusibwa mu ye n’akatono; era olw’okubulwa okwo, ateekwa okugaana, ng’ebirowoozo ebitaliimu eby’abantu, ebyo ebiri amagezi n’amaanyi ga Katonda.

3. Nti “Okukomolebwa okutuufu kwe kukomolebwa okubaawo mu mutima, so si okw’omubiri;” — nti akabonero akaawula omugoberezi wa Kristo ow’amazima, oyo Katonda gw’akkiriza, si kukomolebwa kwa kungulu, wadde okubatizibwa, wadde engeri endala yonna ey’okungulu, wabula embeera y’emmeeme entuufu, ebirowoozo n’omwoyo ebizzibwa obuggya mu kifaananyi ky’Oyo eyabitonda; — ge gamu ku mazima ago amakulu agasobola okutegeerwa mu mwoyo mwokka. Era kino Omutume yennyini akiraga mu bigambo ebiddirira, — “Omuntu ng’oyo atenderezebwa Katonda, so si abantu.” Nga bw’agamba nti, “Tosuubira, ggwe yenna agoberera bw’otyo Omusomesa wo omukulu, nti ensi, abantu abatamugoberera, baligamba nti, ‘Weebale, oli muddu mulungi era mwesigwa!’ Manya nti okukomolebwa kw’omutima, envumbo y’okuyitibwa kwo, busirusiru eri ensi. Kkiriza okulindirira okutenderezebwa kwo okutuusa ku lunaku olw’okulabika kwa Mukama wo. Ku lunaku olwo olitenderezebwa Katonda, mu lukuŋŋaana olunene olw’abantu ne bamalayika.”

Ekisooka, ngenda kwekenneenya mu bujjuvu okukomolebwa kuno okw’omutima kwe kuzingiramu; era, Ekyokubiri, okwogera ku birowoozo ebimu ebiva mu kwekenneenya okwo mu ngeri ey’obutonde.

I. 1. Ekisooka, ngenda kwekenneenya okukomolebwa kw’omutima okwo kwe kuzingiramu, okulitenderezebwa Katonda. Okutwalira awamu tuyinza okulaba nti y’embeera y’emmeeme ey’olubeerera, mu Byawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu eyitibwa obutukuvu; era etegeeza butereevu okutukuzibwa okuva mu kibi, “mu buli kintu ekyonoona omubiri n’omwoyo;” era, n’ekivaamu, okuweebwa empisa ennungi ezaali ne mu Kristo Yesu; okufuulibwa “baggya olw’Omwoyo afuga ebirowoozo byaffe,” ne tuba “abatuukirivu nga Kitaffe ali mu ggulu bw’ali Omutuukirivu.”

2. Okwongera okunnyonnyola: Okukomolebwa kw’omutima kuzingiramu obwetoowaze, okukkiriza, essuubi, n’okwagala. Obwetoowaze, kwe kwesalira omusango omutuufu, bulongoosa ebirowoozo byaffe okuva mu ndowooza ez’amalala ku butuukirivu bwaffe, okuva mu ndowooza etasaana ku busobozi bwaffe ne bye tutuuseeko, ebiri ebibala ebyennyini eby’obutonde obwonoonese. Busalirawo ddala ekirowoozo ekitaliimu kiri, “Ndi mugagga era nnina ebintu bingi, sso siriiko kye neetaaga;” era butukakasa nti mu butonde tuli banaku, era baavu, era basaasirwa, era bazibe ba maaso, era tuli bwereere. “Butukakasa nti ne mu mbeera yaffe esinga obulungi, ku bwaffe, tuli kibi kyokka n’obutaliimu; nti okutabukatabuka, n’obutamanya, n’obuwabe bifuga okutegeera kwaffe; nti okwegomba okutalina magezi, okw’ensi, okw’omubiri, okwa Setaani, kunyaga obuyinza ku kwagala kwaffe; mu bufunze, nti tewali kitundu kiramu mu mmeeme yaffe, nti emisingi gyonna egy’obutonde bwaffe ginyeenyezebwa.

3. Mu kiseera kye kimu tukakasibwa nti tetusobola ku bwaffe kweyamba; nti, awatali Mwoyo wa Katonda, tetuyinza kukola kirala wabula okwongera ekibi ku kibi; nti Ye yekka y’akolera mu ffe olw’amaanyi ge agatalina kkomo, okwagala oba okukola ekirungi; kubanga tekisoboka gye tuli n’okulowooza ekirowoozo ekirungi awatali buyambi obusukkulumu obw’Omwoyo we, nga bwe kitasoboka okwetonda ffekka, oba okuzza obuggya emmeeme zaffe zonna mu butuukirivu ne mu butukuvu obw’amazima.

4. Ekiva ddala mu kwesalira omusango guno omutuufu ku bwonoonefu n’obunafu bw’obutonde bwaffe, kwe kunyooma “okusiimibwa bantu,” okutera okuweebwa olw’obulungi obumu bwe balowooza nti tulina. Oyo yeemanyi tayagala, era tatwala ng’ekikulu, okutenderezebwa kw’amanyi nti takusaanira. Noolwekyo “kintu kitono nnyo gy’ali, okusalirwa omusango abantu.” Alina buli nsonga okulowooza, bw’ageraageranya bye boogedde, oba ku lulwe oba okumuvumirira, n’ebyo by’awulira mu kifuba kye, nti ensi, awamu ne katonda w’ensi eno, yali “mulimba okuva ku lubereberye.” Era ne ku abo abatali ba nsi; wadde nga yandyagadde, singa Katonda yandyagadde bw’atyo, bamutwale ng’oyo ayagala okusangibwa nga omuwanika omwesigwa ow’ebintu bya Mukama we, oba kiyinza okumusobozesa okugasa ennyo baddu banne, naye nga kino kye kigendererwa kyokka ky’ayagaliza okusiimibwa kwabwe, takyesigamako n’akatono: Kubanga akakasa nti buli Katonda ky’ayagala, tayinza kubulwa bya kukikozesa; kubanga ayinza, ne mu amayinja gano, okuyimusa abaddu abakola by’ayagala.

5. Buno bwe bwetoowaze bw’omutima, abo abagoberera ekyokulabirako kye ne batambulira mu bigere bye bwe baayiga okuva eri Kristo. Era okumanya kuno okw’obulwadde bwabwe, mwe bayita okweyongera okunaazibwako ekitundu kyakwo ekimu, amalala n’obutaliimu, kubateekateeka okwaniriza, n’omwoyo ogwagala, ekintu ekyokubiri ekizingirwa mu kukomolebwa kw’omutima, — okukkiriza okwo kwokka okuyinza okubawonya, kwe kuli eddagala lyokka eryaweebwa wansi w’eggulu okuwonya obulwadde bwabwe.

6. Omukulembeze asinga obulungi ow’abazibe b’amaaso, ekitangaala ekisinga okwesigika eri abo abali mu kizikiza, omuyigiriza asinga obutuukirivu ow’abasirusiru, kwe kukkiriza. Naye kuteekwa okuba okukkiriza okuli “kwa maanyi mu Katonda olw’okuwangula ebigo,” — okusuula wansi obusosoze bwonna obw’amagezi amakyamu, enjogera zonna ez’obulimba ezissibwamu ekitiibwa mu bantu, empisa zonna embi n’obulombolombo, byonna “amagezi ag’ensi eno, bwe busirusiru eri Katonda;” okukkiriza okuli “n’olw’okuwangula endowooza,” n’okulowooza, “na buli kintu ekigulumivu ekyekuluntaza okusinga amagezi ga Katonda, era nga tujeemulula buli kirowoozo, kigondere Kristo.”

7. “Buli kimu kisoboka eri oyo” bw’atyo “akkiriza.” “Amaaso g’omutima gwe bwe gamulisibwenga,” alaba okuyitibwa kwe kye kuli; kwe kugulumiza Katonda, eyamugula ku muwendo omunene bwe gutyo, mu mubiri gwe ne mu mwoyo gwe, kaakano ebya Katonda olw’okununulibwa, era n’olw’okutondebwa. Awulira “amaanyi ge agasukkiridde,” ag’oyo, nga bwe yazuukiza Kristo mu bafu, bw’atyo bw’ayinza okutuzuukiza ffe, abaafa mu kibi, “ku bw’Omwoyo we abeera mu ffe.” “kuno kwe kuwangula okwawangula ensi, kwe kukkiriza kwaffe;” okukkiriza okwo, okutali kukkiriza kwokka okutanyeenyezeka eri byonna Katonda bye yabikkula mu Kyawandiikibwa, — n’okusingira ddala eri amazima ago amakulu, “Kristo Yesu yajja mu nsi okulokola aboonoonyi;” “Yesu Kristo yennyini yeetikka ebibi byaffe mu mubiri gwe bwe yatufiirira ku musaalaba;” “Ye, ye mutango olw’ebibi byaffe, naye si lwa bibi byaffe byokka, wabula ne ku lw’ebibi by’abantu bonna;” — naye era kwe kubikkulirwa kwa Kristo mu mitima gyaffe; obujulizi obw’obwakatonda oba okukakasa okwagala kwe, okwagala kwe okw’obwereere, kwe sisaanidde, gye ndi omwonoonyi; okwesiga okunywevu mu kusaasira kwe okusonyiwa, okukolebwa mu ffe Omwoyo Omutukuvu; okwesiga, buli mukkiriza ow’amazima mw’asobolera okutegeeza nti, “Mmanyi nga Omununuzi wange mulamu,” nti nnina “omuwolereza eri Kitaffe,” era nti “Yesu Kristo Omutuukirivu” ye Mukama wange, era “mutango olw’ebibi byange,” — Mmanyi nti “eyanjagala ne yeewaayo yekka ku lwange,” — Antabaganyizza, nze nzennyini, ne Katonda; era “nnunulibwa olw’omusaayi gwe, ne nsonyiyibwa ebibi.”

8. Okukkiriza ng’okwo tekuyinza kulemwa kulaga lwatu amaanyi g’Oyo akuleeta, ng’anunula abaana be okuva mu kikoligo ky’ekibi, era “okutukuza emyoyo gyaffe okuva mu bikolwa ebifu;” ng’abanyweza, ne batakyawalirizibwa kugondera kibi mu kwegomba kwakyo; naye mu kifo ky’okuwaayo ebitundu byabwe gye kiri, ng’ebikozesebwa ebitali bya butuukirivu,” kaakano “beewaayo” ddala “eri Katonda, ng’abantu abalamu abaava mu bafu.”

9. Abo abazaaliddwa Katonda bwe batyo olw’okukkiriza, era balina okugumizibwa okw’amaanyi olw’essuubi. Kino kye kintu ekiddako okukomolebwa kw’omutima kye kuzingiramu; bwe bujulizi bw’omwoyo gwabwe bwennyini wamu n’Omwoyo akakasiza mu mitima gyabwe nti baana ba Katonda. Ddala Omwoyo oyo y’omu y’akola mu bo okwesiga okwo okutangaavu era okw’essanyu nti omutima gwabwe mugolokofu eri Katonda; obukakafu obulungi, nti kaakano bakola, olw’ekisa kye, ebyo ebisiimibwa mu maaso ge; nti kaakano bali mu kkubo erituusa mu bulamu, era nti, olw’okusaasira kwa Katonda, baligumiikiriza omwo okutuusa ku nkomerero. Ye y’abawa okulindirira okulamu okw’okufuna ebirungi byonna okuva mu mukono gwa Katonda; okusuubira okw’essanyu engule eyo ey’ekitiibwa, gye baterekeddwa mu ggulu. Olw’ennanga eno Omukristaayo akuumibwa nga munywevu wakati mu mayengo g’ensi eno ejjudde emitawaana, n’ataasibwa okutomera ku lwazi lwonna ku njazi ezo ebbiri ezitta, — okwekakasa okw’amalala oba okuggwaamu essuubi. Tamalibwamu maanyi olw’obukambwe bwa Mukama we bwe balowooza obukyamu, era “tanyooma ekisa kya Katonda ekingi.” Tatwala buzibu bw’empaka eziteekeddwa mu maaso ge okuba nga businga amaanyi g’alina okubuwangula, so tasuubira nti bujja kuba butono nnyo n’okuggwaamu amaanyi mu kuwangula, okutuusa lw’anaaba akozesezza amaanyi ge gonna. Obumanyirivu bw’alina edda mu lutalo olw’Obukristaayo, nga bwe bumukakasa nti “okufuba kwe si kwa bwereere,” bw’aba nga “buli omukono gwe kye gugenda okukola, akikola n’amaanyi ge gonna;” bwe butyo bumugaana okuba n’ekirowoozo ekitaliimu bwe kityo, nti ayinza okufuna omugaso gwonna mu ngeri endala, nti empisa ennungi yonna esobola okulabikira, oba ettendo lyonna okufunibwa, n’emitima egiggwaamu amaanyi n’emikono egikooye; oba, ddala, olw’omuntu yenna okuggyako abo abagoberera ekkubo lye limu n’Omutume omukulu ow’Abaamawanga - “Nze,” bw’agamba, “nziruka nga nnina kye ŋŋenderera. Sirwana ng’omukubi w’ebikonde amala gawujja n’akuba ebbanga. Naye mbonereza omubiri gwange ne ngufuula omuddu wange, si kulwa nga mbuulira abalala Enjiri, ate nze nzennyini ne sisiimibwa.” 10. Olw’okukangavvulwa okwo kwe kumu buli muserikale omulungi owa Kristo kw’alina okwemanyiiza okugumira okubonaabona. Bw’anywezebwa era n’agumizibwa olw’ekyo, ajja kusobola okulekayo si ebikolwa eby’ekizikiza byokka, naye ne buli kwegomba, ne buli kwagala, okutagondera mateeka ga Katonda. Kubanga “Buli muntu,” bw’ayogera Yokaana Omutukuvu, “alina essuubi eryo yeetukuza nga Katonda bw’ali omutukuvu.” Kye yeefaako buli lunaku, olw’ekisa kya Katonda mu Kristo, era olw’omusaayi gw’endagaano, okulongoosa ebisenge eby’omunda ddala eby’emmeeme ye okuva mu kwegomba okwagifuganga n’okugyonoona; okuva mu bugwagwa, n’obuggya, n’ettima, n’obusungu; okuva mu buli kwegomba na buli mpisa ey’omubiri, ebiva mu bwonoonefu bwe obw’obuzaale oba ebibunyweza; ng’amanyi bulungi nti oyo omubiri gwe gwennyini gwe yeekaalu ya Katonda, tasaana kugiyingizaamu kintu kyonna ekitali kitukuvu oba ekitali kirongoofu; era nti obutukuvu busaanira ennyumba eyo emirembe gyonna, Omwoyo ow’obutukuvu mw’asiima okubeera. 11. Naye okyabulako ekintu kimu, ggwe yenna, eyagatta ku bwetoowaze obw’ebuziba, n’okukkiriza okunywevu, essuubi eddamu, n’olw’ekyo n’olongoosa omutima gwo ku kigero ekirungi okuva mu bucaafu bwagwo obw’obuzaale. Obanga oyagala okuba omutuukirivu, yongera ku bino byonna, okwagala; yongerako okwagala, era olina okukomolebwa kw’omutima “okwagala kyekuva kutuukiriza amateeka, kye kigendererwa ky’ekiragiro.” Ebintu ebirungi ennyo byogerwa ku kwagala; kwe kusinziira kw’empisa ennungi zonna, gwe mwoyo gwazo, bwe bulamu bwazo. Tekuli kiragiro kya lubereberye era ekisinga obukulu kyokka, wabula kwe biragiro byonna mu kimu. “buli kya butuukirivu, na buli kirongoofu, na buli kyagalibwa,” oba ekyogerwako obulungi; “bwe wabangawo ekirungi oba bwe wabangawo ettendo,” byonna bizingirwa mu kigambo kino kimu, — okwagala. Mu kino mwe muli obutuukirivu, n’ekitiibwa, n’essanyu. Etteeka ery’obwakabaka ery’eggulu n’ensi lye lino, “yagala Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amagezi go gonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.” 12. Kino tekitugaana kwagala kintu kirala kyonna okuggyako Katonda: Kizingiramu nti twagala ne muganda waffe. Era tekitugaana (nga abamu bwe baalowooza mu ngeri ey’ekyewuunyo) okusanyukira ekintu kyonna okuggyako Katonda. Okulowooza bw’otyo, kwe kulowooza nti Ensulo y’obutukuvu y’ensibuko y’ekibi butereevu; kubanga yagatta essanyu, mu ngeri etayawukana, ku kukozesa ebitonde ebyo ebyetaagisa okuwanirira obulamu bwe yatuwa. Noolwekyo, kino tekiyinza kuba makulu ga kiragiro kye. Amakulu gaakyo ag’amazima, Mukama waffe omutendereze n’Abatume be batubuulira emirundi mingi nnyo, era mu ngeri etegeerekeka ennyo, ne kitasoboka kutegeerwa bubi. Bonna n’akamwa kamu bajulira nti amakulu ag’amazima ag’ebigambo ebyo ebitali bimu, “Mukama Katonda waffe ali omu;” “Tobeeranga na bakatonda balala wabula Nze nzekka;” “yagala Katonda wo n’amaanyi go gonna” “Munywererengako;” “erinnya lyo n’okumanyibwa kwo kwe kwegomba kw’emitima gyaffe;” — tegali malala wabula gano: Ekirungi ekimu ekituukiridde kye kiba ekigendererwa kyammwe ekimu eky’enkomerero. Ekintu kimu kye mulyegomba ku lwakyo kyokka, — okweyagalira mu Oyo Byonna mu Byonna. Essanyu limu lye mulyeteekerawo mu mmeeme zammwe, kwe kwegatta n’Oyo eyazitonda; okuba nga “mussekimu ne Kitaffe awamu n’Omwana we;” okwegatta ne Mukama waffe mu Mwoyo omu. Ekigendererwa kimu kye musaana okugoberera okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ebiro, — okweyagalira mu Katonda mu biro bino ne mu butaggwaawo. Mwegombe ebintu ebirala, nga bwe biyamba ku kino. Mwagale ekitonde nga bwe kikutuusa eri Omutonzi. Naye mu buli kigere kye mutambula, kino kibe ekifo eky’ekitiibwa ekikomekkerezaako okulaba kwammwe. Buli kwagala, na buli kirowoozo, na buli kigambo, na buli mulimu, bigondere kino. Kyonna kye mwegomba oba kye mutya, kyonna kye munoonya oba kye mwewala, kyonna kye mulowooza, kye mwogera, oba kye mukola, kibe olw’essanyu lyammwe mu Katonda, Enkomerero yokka, era Ensibuko, ey’obulamu bwammwe. 13. Temubanga na kigendererwa kirala, na kigendererwa kya nkomerero kirala, wabula Katonda. Bw’atyo Mukama waffe: “waliwo ekintu kimu kyokka ekyetaagibwa:” Era singa eriiso lyo litunuulira kino kimu kyokka, “omubiri gwo gwonna gujjula ekitangaala.” Bw’atyo Pawulo Omutukuvu: “Ekintu kimu kye nkola: Nduubirira okutuuka awawakanirwa awali empeera ey’okuyita kwa Katonda okwa waggulu mu Kristo Yesu.” Bw’atyo Yakobo Omutukuvu: “Mulongoose engalo zammwe, mmwe abakozi b’ebibi, mutukuze emitima gyammwe, mmwe abalina emyoyo egitaaganaaga.” Bw’atyo Yokaana Omutukuvu: “Temwagalanga nsi, wadde eby’ensi. Kubanga buli eky’ensi: okwegomba kw’omubiri, n’okwegomba kw’amaaso, n’okwekuluntaza okw’obulamu, si bya Kitaffe, naye bya nsi.” Okunoonya essanyu mu ekyo ekimatiza oba okwegomba kw’omubiri, nga kunyumira ebiwulirwa eby’okungulu; okwegomba kw’amaaso, okw’ebirowoozo, olw’obuggya bwakyo, obunene, oba obulungi; oba okwekuluntaza okw’obulamu, oba mu kwejalabya, mu bukulu, mu buyinza, oba mu ebyo ebitera okubivaamu, okutenderezebwa n’okwewuunyibwa; — “si bya Kitaffe,” tebiva eri, era tebisiimibwa, Kitaawe w’emyoyo; “naye bya nsi:” Ke kabonero akaawula abo abatayagala Ye kubeera kabaka waabwe.

II. 1. Bwe ntyo nkebedde mu bujjuvu okukomolebwa kw’omutima okwo kye kuli, okulifuna ettendo okuva eri Katonda. Mu kifo eky’okubiri, ngenda kwogera ku birowoozo ebimu ebiva mu kwekenneenya okwo mu ngeri ey’obutonde, ng’etteeka eryangu buli muntu ly’ayinza okwesaliramu omusango, oba wa nsi oba wa Katonda. Era, Ekisooka, kiri lwatu okuva mu bye twogedde, nti tewali muntu alina ddembe ku ttendo lya Katonda, okuggyako ng’omutima gwe gukomoleddwa olw’obwetoowaze; okuggyako nga muto, era munafu, era wa kinyoomo mu maaso ge ye; okuggyako ng’akakasiddwa ddala ku bwonoonefu obw’obuzaale, “obwonoonefu bw’obutonde bwe,” “obumwawula ewala ennyo n’obutuukirivu obwasooka,” ng’ayagala buli kibi, akyawa buli kirungi, mwonoonefu era wa muzizo; ng’alina “okulowooza eby’omubiri okw’obulabe eri Katonda, era okutawulira mateeka ga Katonda, era ddala okutayinza kugawulira,” okuggyako ng’awulira bulijjo mu mmeeme ye ey’omunda, nti awatali Mwoyo wa Katonda okumutuulako, tayinza kulowooza, wadde okwegomba, wadde okwogera, wadde okukola ekintu kyonna ekirungi, oba ekisanyusa mu maaso ge. Tewali muntu, nkiddamu, alina ddembe ku ttendo lya Katonda, okutuusa lw’awulira obwetaavu bwe obwa Katonda; era ddala, okutuusa lw’anoonya “okusiimibwa Katonda oyo Omu yekka;” n’atayagala wadde okunoonya okusiimibwa okuva eri abantu, okuggyako nga kiyamba ku kino kyokka.

2. Amazima amalala, agava mu ngeri ey’obutonde mu bye twogedde, ge gano, nti tewali alifuna kusiimibwa okuva eri Katonda, okuggyako ng’omutima gwe gukomoleddwa olw’okukkiriza; “okukkiriza mu maanyi ga Katonda:” Okuggyako nga, bw’agaana okweyongera okukulemberwa ebiwulirwa bye, okwegomba kwe, oba okwagala kwe okw’omubiri, oba n’omukulembeze oyo omuzibe w’amaaso ow’abazibe, gwe basinza ennyo ab’ensi, amagezi ag’obutonde, abeera mulamu era atambula lwa kukkiriza; aluŋŋamya buli kigere kye, ng’oyo “alaba Katonda oyo atalabika;” “tatunuulira bintu ebirabika naye ebintu ebitalabika, kubanga ebintu ebirabika bya kiseera buseera, naye ebyo ebitalabika bya mirembe na mirembe;” era n’afuga okwegomba kwe kwonna, ebigendererwa bye, n’ebirowoozo bye, ebikolwa bye byonna n’enneeyisa ye, ng’oyo eyayingira munda w’eggigi, Yesu gy’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda.

3. Kyandibadde kirungi, abo abamala ebiseera byabwe bingi n’amaanyi gaabwe mu kuzimba omusingi omulala, okumanya obulungi okukkiriza kuno; abazimba eddiini ku kusaanira okw’olubeerera okw’ebintu ku bulungi obw’omunda obw’empisa ennungi, ne ku ndabika ennungi ey’ebikolwa ebigivaamu; ku nsonga nga bwe baziyita, ez’ekirungi n’ekibi, ne ku nkolagana y’ebitonde wakati waabyo. Oba ennyinnyonnyola zino ez’emisingi gy’obuvunaanyizibwa bw’Omukristaayo zikwatagana n’ez’Ebyawandiikibwa, oba tezikwatagana. Bwe ziba zikwatagana, lwaki abantu abalina ebigendererwa ebirungi batabulwa, ne baggibwa ku ebintu ebisinga obukulu eby’amateeka, olw’ekire ky’ebigambo, ebinnyonnyola amazima agasinga obwangu ne gafuuka ekizikiza ? Bwe ziba tezikwatagana, kale kibagwanira okulowooza ani nnannyini njigiriza eno empya; oba ng’ayinza okuba malayika ava mu ggulu, abuulira Enjiri endala okuggyako eya Kristo Yesu; newakubadde, singa abadde bw’atyo, Katonda, so si ffe, yasala dda omusango gwe: “akolimirwenga.”

4. Enjiri yaffe, nga bw’etamanyi musingi mulala gwa bikolwa birungi okuggyako okukkiriza, oba ogw’okukkiriza okuggyako Kristo, bw’etyo etutegeeza lwatu nti tetuli bayigirizwa be bwe tuba nga tugaana nti Ye ye Nsibuko, oba nti Omwoyo we y’Aluŋŋamya era Atuukiriza, okukkiriza kwaffe n’ebikolwa byaffe byombi. “Era omuntu yenna bw’ataba na Mwoyo wa Kristo, oyo si wa Kristo.” Ye yekka y’ayinza okuzuukiza abo Abaafa eri Katonda, ayinza okubafuuyiramu omukka gw’obulamu obw’Obukristaayo. era bw’atyo n’okubakulembera, n’okubawerekera, n’okubagoberera n’ekisa kye, okutuukiriza okwegomba kwabwe okulungi. Era bwe batyo, “abo bonna abakulemberwa Omwoyo wa Katonda be baana ba Katonda.” Eno y’ennyinnyonnyola ya Katonda ennyimpi era entangaavu ey’eddiini entuufu n’empisa ennungi; era “tewali n’omu ayinza kuteekawo musingi mulala.”

5. Okuva mu bye twogedde, tuyinza, Ekyokusatu, okuyiga nti tewali “akulemberwa Mwoyo” ddala, okuggyako nga “Omwoyo yennyini akakasiza wamu n’omwoyo gwe nti mwana wa Katonda;” okuggyako ng’alaba empeera n’engule mu maaso ge, era “yeenyumiriza ng’asuubira ekitiibwa kya Katonda.” Nga baawaba nnyo abo abaayigiriza nti, mu kuweereza Katonda, tetusaana kutunuulira ssanyu lyaffe! Nedda, naye Katonda atuyigiriza emirundi mingi era lwatu, “okusuubira empeera;” okugeraageranya okutegana ne “essanyu eriri mu maaso gaffe,” “okubonaabona kwaffe okutono” kuno n’ekyo “ekitiibwa eky’amaanyi eky’emirembe n’emirembe.” Weewaawo, tuli “abatalina mugabo mu ndagaano ya Katonda ey’ekisuubizo,” tuli “wala ne Katonda mu nsi,” okutuusa Katonda, “olw’okusaasira kwe okungi, lw’atuzaala omulundi ogwokubiri mu ssuubi eddamu ery’omugabo mu busika obutafuma, obutaliiko bbala, era obutakyusa langi.

6. Naye obanga ebintu bino biri bwe bityo, obudde butuuse abantu abo okukolagana n’obwesigwa n’emmeeme zaabwe, abatali kumpi n’okusanga mu bo okukakasa kuno okw’essanyu nti batuukiriza obukwakkulizo, era nti balifuna ebisuubizo, eby’endagaano eyo, ne batuuka n’okuwakanya endagaano yennyini, ne bavvoola obukwakkulizo bwayo; okwemulugunya nti bukakali nnyo; era nti tewali muntu yali abutuukirizza oba alibutuukiriza. Kino kiki okuggyako okuvuma Katonda, ng’alinga mukama omukambwe, asaba abaddu be okusinga by’abasobozesa okukola? — ng’alinga eyasekerera emirimu gy’emikono gye egitalina bwe giyinza, ng’agisiba ku bitasoboka; ng’agiragira okuwangula, ng’amaanyi gaagyo wadde ekisa kye tebimala?

7. Abavvoozi bano kumpi bandisendasenda okwerowooza nga tebaliiko musango abo, abali ku ludda olulala olw’enkomerero, abasuubira okutuukiriza ebiragiro bya Katonda awatali kufuba n’akatono. Essuubi eritaliimu! nti omwana wa Adamu yenna yandisuubidde okulaba obwakabaka bwa Kristo n’obwa Katonda, awatali kufuba, awatali kulwana n’amaanyi gonna, okusooka “okuyingira mu mulyango omufunda;”-nti oyo eyali “yatondebwa era n’azaalibwa mu kibi,” era nti “omutima gwe gujjudde bussi bwereere,” yandirowoozezza n’akatono okuba “ng’atukuziddwa nga Mukama we bw’ali omutukuvu,” okuggyako ng’atambulira mu bigere Bye, era “yeetikke omusaalaba gwe buli lunaku;” okuggyako nga “atemako omukono gwe ogwa ddyo,” era “aggyemu eriiso erya ddyo, alisuule wala ;” — nti yandiroose n’akatono okweggyako endowooza ze enkadde, okwegomba kwe, empisa ze, okuba “ng’atukuziddwa ddala mu mwoyo, mu mmeeme, ne mu mubiri,” awatali kukwata kkubo lya kwefiiriza okwa buli ngeri, okutakoma era okutasalako!

8. Kiki ekitali kino kye tuyinza okulowooza okuva mu bigambo bya Pawulo Omutukuvu ebyogeddwako waggulu, oyo, eyabeera “mu bunafu, mu kuvumibwa, mu bizibu, mu kuyigganyizibwa, mu binzitoowerera” ku lwa Kristo; -oyo, eyali ajjudde “bubonero, ne byewuunyo, ne mu bikolwa eby’amaanyi,” — oyo, “eyatwalibwa mu ggulu eryokusatu;” — naye n’alowooza, nga omuwandiisi omu ow’omu kiseera kino bw’akyogera n’amaanyi, nti empisa ze zonna ennungi zandibadde mu kabi, era n’obulokozi bwe bwennyini mu kabi, awatali kwefiiriza kuno okutakoma? “Nziruka,” bw’agamba, “nga nnina kye ŋŋenderera. Sirwana ng’omukubi w’ebikonde amala gawujja n’akuba ebbanga:” Mu kino atuyigiriza lwatu, nti oyo atadduka bw’atyo, ateefiiriza bw’atyo buli lunaku, adduka nga taliiko ky’agenderera, era alwana awatali mugaso nga oyo “akuba ebbanga.”

9. Awatali mugaso bw’atyo Ayogera ku “kulwana okulungi okw’okukkiriza,” era bw’atyo asuubira bwereere okufuna engule ey’obutavunda, (nga bwe tuyinza, Ekisembayo, okulowooza okuva mu bye tulabye,) oyo omutima gwe ogutakomoleddwa olw’okwagala. Okwagala, okusalako okwegomba kw’omubiri, n’okwegomba kw’amaaso, n’okwekuluntaza okw’obulamu, — okuteeka omuntu yenna, omubiri, emmeeme, n’omwoyo, mu kunoonya n’obunyiikivu ekintu ekyo ekimu,-kwetaagisa nnyo eri omwana wa Katonda, nti, awatali kwo, buli muntu aba omulamu atwalibwa ng’afudde mu maaso ge. “Singa njogera ennimi z’abantu n’eza bamalayika, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba ng’ekidde, ekireekaana oba ng’ekitaasa ekisaala. Ne bwe mba n’ekirabo eky’okwogera eby’obunnabbi, ne ntegeera ebyama byonna, era ne mmanya ebintu byonna, era ne bwe mba n’okukkiriza okungi ne kunsobozesa n’okusiguukulula ensozi, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba siri kintu.” Weewaawo, “ne bwe mpaayo ebyange byonna okuyamba abaavu, era ne bwe mpaayo omubiri gwange ne nneewaana, naye ne siba na kwagala, sibaako kye ngasibbwa.”

10. Kale, kuno kwe kufunza kw’etteeka erituukiridde; kuno kwe kukomolebwa kw’omutima okw’amazima. Omwoyo gudde eri Katonda eyaguwa, wamu n’olunyiriri lwonna olw’okwagala kwagwo. “Eri ekifo emigga gyonna gye gyava,” eyo gye bikulukutira nate. Ssaddaaka endala okuva gye tuli teyagala; naye ssaddaaka ennamu ey’omutima gy’eyalonda. Eweebwengayo bulijjo eri Katonda ng’eyita mu Kristo, mu nnimi z’omuliro ogw’okwagala okutukuvu. Era tewabanga kitonde kikkirizibwa kugabana naye: Kubanga Katonda wa buggya. Entebe ye tajja kugigabana na mulala: Ajja kufuga awatali avuganya naye. Tewabanga kigendererwa, wadde okwegomba, okukkirizibwa omwo, okuggyako ekyo ekirina Ye ng’ekigendererwa kyakyo eky’enkomerero. Lino lye kkubo abaana ba Katonda abo mwe baatambulira edda, abo, wadde nga baafa, bakyayogera naffe: “Teweegombanga kubeera mulamu, wabula okutendereza erinnya lye: Ebirowoozo byo byonna, ebigambo, n’ebikolwa, bigendererenga ekitiibwa kye. Teeka omutima gwo nga munywevu ku ye, ne ku bintu ebirala nga biri mu ye era nga biva gy’ali kyokka. Emmeeme yo ejjuzibwe okwagala okw’omuggundu bwe kutyo eri ye, olemenga okwagala ekintu kyonna okuggyako ku lulwe.” “Beeranga n’ekigendererwa eky’omutima ekirongoofu, n’okutunuulira obutayosa ekitiibwa kye mu bikolwa byo byonna.” “Teeka eriiso lyo ku ssuubi ery’omukisa ery’okuyitibwa kwo, era ofuule ebintu byonna eby’ensi okukiweereza.” Kubanga olwo, so si nga olwo terunnatuuka, “endowooza eri eyali mu Kristo Yesu” lw’ebeera mu ffe; bwe tuba, mu buli kutambula kw’omutima gwaffe, mu buli kigambo kya lulimi lwaffe, mu buli mulimu gw’emikono gyaffe, “nga tetugoberera kintu kyonna okuggyako mu kukwatagana naye, era mu kugondera by’asiima;” bwe tuba, naffe, nga tetulowooza, wadde okwogera, wadde okukola, okutuukiriza “bye twagala ku bwaffe, wabula ekyo eyatutuma ky’ayagala;” bwe tuba, oba nga tulya, oba nga tunywa, oba kyonna kye tukola, tukola byonna olw’ekitiibwa kya Katonda.”
