Ensonga 2: Amateeka
[2-1] Bwe tukola ebintu okusinziira ku Mateeka, kiyinza okutulokola? (Lukka 10:25-30)
“Kale, laba, omuyigiriza w’amateeka n’ayimirira ng’amukema ng’agamba nti Omuyigiriza, nkolenga ki okusikira obulamu obutaggwaawo? N’amugamba nti Kyawandiikibwa kitya mu mateeka? Osoma otya? N’addamu n’agamba nti Yagalanga Mukama God wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, n’amaanyi go gonna, n’amagezi go gonna; ne muliraanwa wo nga ggwe bwe weeyagala wekka. N’amugamba nti Ozzeemu bulungi; kola bw’otyo, onoobanga n’obulamu. Naye ye obutayagala kuwangulukuka, n’agamba Yesu nti Muliraanwa wange ye ani? Yesu n’addamu n’agamba nti Waaliwo omuntu eyali ava e Yerusaalemi ng’aserengeta e Yeriko; n’agwa mu batemu, ne bamwambula, ne bamukuba emiggo, ne bagenda ne bamuleka ng’abulako katono okufa.”
| Ekizibu ekisinga obunene eky’omuntu ki? |
| Babeera n’obulimba bungi bwe balina. |
Lukka 10:28, “Kola bw’otyo, onoobanga n’obulamu.”
Abantu balina ebirowoozo bingi ebikyamu. Kirabika naddala bali mu bulabe mu nsonga eno. Balabika nga bagezi naye mangu okulimbibwa era basigala nga tebamanyi njuyi zaabwe embi. Tuzaalibwa nga tetumanyi ffe bennyini, naye era tukyabeera nga abategeera. Olw’okuba abantu tebeemanyi, Baibuli etugamba nti tuli boonoonyi.
Abantu boogera ku kubeerawo kw’ebibi byabwe. Ate tebayinza kukola birungi, naye babeererawo nga beewandiikako ng’abalungi. Baagala okwenyumiriza emirimu gyabwe emirungi era n’okweraga. Bagamba nti bali boonoonyi naye bakolera ddala ng’abali balungi nnyo.
Bakimanyi nti tebalina birungi mu bo wadde obusobozi okukola ebirungi wabula bagezaako okulimba abalala oluusi n’okwelimba. “Jjangu, tetusobola kuba babi ddala. Munda mu ffe walina okubaawo ebirungi.”
N’olwekyo, batunuulira abalala ne beegamba nti, “Gosh, njagala teyakikola. Kyandibadde kirungi gy’ali singa teyakikola. Yandibadde bulungi nnyo singa ayogera bw’ati. Ndowooza nti kirungi okubuulira enjiri mu ngeri eno n’eno. Yanunulibwa mu maaso gange, kale ndowooza yandibadde yeeyisa nnyo ng’oyo eyanunuddwa. Gye buvuddeko nnalokoka, naye bwe nnayiga ebisingawo, nja kukola bulungi nnyo okumusinga.”
Bawagala obwogi bw’ebiso mu mitima gyabwe. “Linda bukee. Ojja kulaba nga sifaanana nga ggwe. Kale olowooza nti oli mu maaso gange kati, si bwe kiri? Linda bukee. Kyawandiikibwa mu Bayibuli nti abasembayo be banaaba abasooka. Mmanyi nti kino kinkwatako. Linda, era nja kukulaga.” Abantu beerimba.
Newankubadde nti naye yandikozesezza engeri y’emu singa yali mu kifo ky’omuntu oyo, akyasala omusango gwe.
Bwe babuuzibwa oba abantu balina obusobozi okukola ebirungi, abantu abasinga bagamba nti tebalina. Naye balina endowooza enkyamu nti bo bennyini balina obusobozi obwo. Kale bagezaako nnyo okutuusa lwe bafa.
Balowooza nti balina ‘obulungi’ mu mitima gyabwe, nti balina obusobozi okukola ebirungi. Era balowooza nti bo bennyini balungi ekimala. Nga tebafaayo ku bbanga lyonna eryayitawo okuva lwe baazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri, n’abo abatuuseeko okweyongera mu kuweereza God balowooza nti, ‘Nsobola okukola kino na kiri ku lwa Mukama.’
Naye singa tuggya Mukama waffe mu bulamu bwaffe, ddala tusobola okukola ebirungi? Waliwo obulungi mu bantu? Asobola okuba omulamu ng’akola emirimu emirungi? Abantu tebalina busobozi kukola birungi. Buli abantu lwe bagezaako okukola ekintu ku bwabwe, bakola kibi.
Abamu basindika Yesu ku bbali oluvannyuma lw’okulokolebwa era ne bagezaako okukola ebirungi ku bwabwe. Tewali kintu kirala okuggyako obubi mu ffe fenna. Tusobola kwatika kukola bubi. Ku bwaffe (ne bano abalokoddwa), tusobola kukola bibi byokka. Kino kye kituufu eky’omubiri gwaffe.
| Bulijjo tukola ki, ekirungi oba ekibi? |
| Obulabe |
Mu kitabo kyaffe eky’okutendereza, ‘Tendereza Mukama,’ mulimu oluyimba olugenda bwe luti, “♪Omubiri ogutalina mugaso ogukola ensobi awatali Yesu, awatali ggwe ndi ng’eryato eritaliiko nvaala nga lisaabala ku nnyanja♪.” Awatali Yesu, tusobola kwonoona kwokka. Ffe tuli batuukirivu kubanga twalokolebwa. Mu butuufu, tuli babi.
Omutume Pawulo yagamba nti, “Kubanga kye njagala ekirungi ssikikola: naye kye ssaagala ekibi kye nkola.” (Abaruumi 7:19) Omuntu bw’aba ne Yesu, tewali buzibu. Naye bw’aba talina ky’akola naye, agezaako okukola ebirungi mu maaso ga God. Naye gyeyongera okugezaako, gyeyongera okwesanga ng’akola bibi.
Ne Kabaka Dawudi yalina obutonde bwe bumu. Ensi ye bwe yalimu emirembe n’okukulaakulana, akawungeezi akamu yagenda waggulu ku kasolya okutambulako. Yalaba ekifaananyi ekikema n’agwa olw’okusanyuka mu by’omubiri. Yali afaanana atya bwe yali yeerabidde Mukama! Yali ddala mubi. Yatta Uliya n’atwala mukazi we, naye Dawudi teyasobola kulaba bubi obwali mu ye. Yakola eby’okwekwasa olw’ebikolwa bye.
Awo olunaku lumu, nnabbi Nasani n’ajja gy’ali n’agamba nti. “N’ajja gy’ali n’amugamba nti Waaliwo abasajja babiri mu kibuga kimu; omu nga mugagga ne munne nga mwavu. Omugagga yalina endiga n’ente nnyingi nnyo nnyini: naye omwavu teyalina kantu wabula akaana k’endiga akaluusi ke yagula n’akalera: ne kakulira wamu naye n’abaana be; kaalyanga ku kamere ke ye, ne kanywa ku ndeku ye ye, ne kagalamira mu kifuba kye ne kaba gy’ali nga muwala we. Awo ne wajja omutambuze eri omugagga oyo, n’alema okutoola ku ndiga ze ye ne ku nte ze ye, okufumbira omutambuze eyajja gy’ali, naye n’atwala omwana gw’endiga ogw’omwavu, n’agufumbira omusajja azze gy’ali.” (2 Samwiri 12:1-4)
Dawudi n’agamba nti, “Omuntu akoze bw’atyo alifa!” Obusungu bwe bwayaka nnyo, n’agamba nti, “Alina ennyingi ennyo eze, yandibadde asobola okutwala emu ku zo. Naye yatwala endiga y’omusajja omwavu ey’emu yokka okutegekera omugenyi we emmere. Asaanidde okufa!” Nasani n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe musajja oyo!” Bwe tutaGoberera Yesu era ne tutaba naye, n’abazaaliddwa omulundi ogw’okubiri basobola okuba bwe batyo.
Kye kimu eri abantu bonna, wadde abeesigwa. Bulijjo twesittala, tukola ebibi nga tetulina Yesu. Kale tuddamu okwebaza leero nti Yesu yatuwonya awatali kufaayo ku bubi obuli mu ffe. “♪Njagala kuwummula wansi w’ekisiikirize ky’Omusaalaba♪” Emitima gyaffe giwummulira wansi w’ekisiikirize ky’okununulibwa kwa Kristo. Naye bwe tuva mu bisiikirize ne twetunuulira, tetusobola kuwummula.
God yatuwa obutuukirivu bw’okukkiriza nga amateeka tegannaba
| Kiki ekyasooka, okukkiriza oba Amateeka? |
| Okukkiriza |
Omutume Pawulo yagamba nti God ye yasooka okutuwa obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza. Obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza bwasooka. Yagiwa Adamu ne Kaawa, Abbeeri, oluvannyuma Sesi ne Enoka... okukka ku Nuuwa..., oluvannyuma Ibulayimu, n’oluvannyuma Isaaka, Yakobo ne batabani be ekkumi n’ababiri. Ne bwe baba nga tebalina Mateeka, baafuuka batuukirivu mu maaso ga God olw’okukkiriza kwabwe mu Kigambo kye. Baaweebwa omukisa era ne baweebwa ekiwummulo olw’okukkiriza kwabwe mu Kigambo kye.
Ebiseera ne bigenda biyitawo era bazzukulu ba Yakobo ne babeera mu Misiri nga baddu okumala emyaka 400 olwa Yusufu. Awo God n’abakulembera okuyita mu Musa n’abatwala mu nsi ya Kanani. Kyokka, mu myaka 400 egy’obuddu, baali beerabira obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza.
Kale God yabaleka ne basomoka Ennyanja Emmyufu nga bayita mu kyamagero kye n’abakulembera mu ddungu. Bwe baatuuka mu ddungu lya Sini, yabawa Amateeka ku lusozi Sinaayi. Yabawa Amateeka Ekkumi, agalimu ebitundu 613 ebikwata ku Mateeka. “Nze Mukama God wo, God wa Ibulayimu, God wa Isaaka, God wa Yakobo. Musa agende ku lusozi Sinaayi, nange ndikuwa amateeka.” God yawa Isiraeri Amateeka.
Yabawa Amateeka basobole ‘okumanya ekibi.’ (Abaruumi 3:20) Kyali kya kubamanyisa by’ayagala ne by’atayagala n’okubikkula obutuukirivu bwe n’obutukuvu bwe.
Abantu ba Isiraeri bonna abaali bamaze emyaka 400 nga baddu mu Misiri, baasomoka Ennyanja Emmyufu. Baali tebasisinkanangako God wa Ibulayimu, God wa Isaaka, God wa Yakobo. Tebaamumanyi.
Era bwe baali bawangaala ng’abaddu okumala emyaka egyo 400, baali beerabira obutuukirivu bwa God. Mu kiseera ekyo, tebaalina mukulembeze. Yakobo ne Yusufu be baali abakulembeze baabwe, naye baali bafudde. Kirabika Yusufu yalemererwa okuyisa okukkiriza ku batabani be, Manase ne Efulayimu.
N’olwekyo, baali beetaaga okuddamu okunoonya God waabwe n’okumusisinkana kubanga baali beerabira obutuukirivu bwa God. Kale God yasooka kubawa obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza oluvannyuma n’abawa Amateeka nga bamaze okwerabira okukkiriza. Yabawa Amateeka okubakomyawo gy’ali.
Okulokola Isirayiri, okubafuula abantu be, abantu ba Ibulayimu, yabagamba okukomolebwa.
Ekigendererwa kye eky’okubayita kyali kya kusooka kuteekawo Mateeka okubamanyisa nti waliwo God, n’ekyokubiri okubategeeza nti baali boonoonyi mu maaso ga God. Yayagala bajje mu maaso ge era bafuuke abantu be nga banunulibwa okuyita mu ssaddaaka y’obununuzi God gye yali abawadde. Era yabafuula abantu be.
Abantu ba Isiraeri baanunulibwa okuyita mu mateeka (enkola y’okusaddaaka) nga bakkiririza mu Masiya eyali agenda okujja. Naye era n’enkola y’ebiweebwayo yali egenze eremerako n’ekiseera. Ka tulabe ddi ekyo lwe kyaliwo.
Mu Lukka 10:25, “Kale, laba, Kale, laba, Omuyigiriza w’amateeka n’ayimirira ng’amukema ng’agamba nti.” Munnamateeka oyo yali Mufalisaayo. Abafalisaayo baali bantu abakuumaddembe abaagezaako okubeera nga bwe kiri mu Kigambo kye. Baali bantu abasooka okulwanirira eggwanga lyabwe era ne bagezaako okubeera mu mateeka ga God. Era waaliwo n’abalwanyi ba Zealot abaali tebalina bugumiikiriza era abaali bayita mu bikolwa by’okwekalakaasa okutuukiriza ebirooto byabwe.
| Ani Yesu gwe yali ayagala okusisinkana? |
| Aboonoonyi abatalina musumba |
Waliwo abantu nga bo ne leero. Bakulembera ebibiina by’embeera z’abantu nga balina ebigambo nga ‘Taasa abantu b’eggwanga abanyigirizibwa.’ Balowooza nti Yesu yajja okutaasa abaavu n’abanyigirizibwa. Kale, bayiga eby’eddiini mu seminaliyo z’eby’eddiini, beetaba mu byobufuzi, era bagezaako ‘okutuusa abaggyibwako’ mu buli kitundu ky’abantu.
Bano be bakkaatiriza nti, “Ffenna tubeere mu mateeka amatukuvu era ag’ekisa. Beera mulamu okutuukana n’Amateeka, ng’ayita mu bigambo bye.” Naye tebamanyi makulu gennyini ag’Amateeka. Bagezaako okubeera nga bagoberera ennukuta y’Amateeka naye nga tebamanyi kubikkulirwa kwaGod okw’Amateeka.
Kale tuyinza okugamba nti tewaaliwo nnabbi, omuweereza wa God, okumala emyaka nga 400 nga Kristo tannabaawo. Mu ngeri eyo ne bafuuka ekisibo ky’endiga nga tebalina musumba.
Tebaalina Mateeka wadde omukulembeze. God teyeeyoleka ng’ayita mu bakulembeze b’eddiini bannanfuusi ab’omu kiseera ekyo. Ensi eyo yali efuuse ettundutundu ly’Obwakabaka bwa Rooma. Kale Yesu n’agamba abantu abo aba Isirayiri abaamugoberera mu ddungu nti tagenda kubagoba nga balumwa enjala. Yasaasira ekisibo nga tekirina musumba. Waaliwo bangi abaali babonaabona mu kiseera ekyo.
Kyali abalamula n’abalala mu bifo ebifaanana bwe bityo be baali n’obuyinza obw’enjawulo obwabakwasibwa. Abafalisaayo baali ba lunyiriri lwa Isiraeri, mu ddiini y’Ekiyudaaya. Baali benyumiriza nnyo.
Era munnamateeka ono yabuuza Yesu mu Lukka 10:25 nti, “Nkolenga ki okusikira obulamu obutaggwaawo?” Omuwabuzi yawulira nga tewali asinga ye mu bantu ba Isirayiri. Kale munnamateeka ono (oyo eyali tanununuliddwa) yamusomooza, ng’agamba nti, “Nkolenga ki okusikira obulamu obutaggwaawo?”
Omulamula ono ye kifaananyi kyaffe. Yabuuza Yesu nti, “Nkolenga ki okusikira obulamu obutaggwaawo?” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “N’amugamba nti Kyawandiikibwa kitya mu mateeka? Osoma otya?”
Awo n’addamu n’agamba nti, “N’addamu n’agamba nti Yagalanga Mukama God wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, n’amaanyi go gonna, n’amagezi go gonna.”
Yesu yamugamba nti, “Ozzeemu bulungi; kola bw’otyo, onoobanga n’obulamu.”
Yasoomooza Yesu nga teyeemanyi nti mubi, ekibi ky’ekibi ekitayinza kukola kirungi. Awo Yesu n’amubuuza nti, “N’amugamba nti Kyawandiikibwa kitya mu mateeka? Osoma otya?”
| Osoma otya amateeka? |
| Tuli boonoonyi abatasobola kukwata mateeka. |
“N’amugamba nti Kyawandiikibwa kitya mu mateeka? Osoma otya? N’addamu n’agamba nti Yagalanga Mukama God wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, n’amaanyi go gonna, n’amagezi go gonna; ne muliraanwa wo nga ggwe bwe weeyagala wekka. N’amugamba nti Ozzeemu bulungi; kola bw’otyo, onoobanga n’obulamu.” (Lukka 10:26-28)
“Osoma otya?” Kino kitegeeza omanyi otya era otegeera otya Amateeka.
Nga abantu bangi bwe bakola mu biro bino, omulamula ono naye yalowooza nti God yamuwa amateeka ye agakuume. Awo n’addamu nti, “N’addamu n’agamba nti Yagalanga Mukama God wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’emmeeme yo yonna, n’amaanyi go gonna, n’amagezi go gonna; ne muliraanwa wo nga ggwe bwe weeyagala wekka.”
Amateeka gaali tegaliiko kamogo. Yatuwa Amateeka agatuukiridde. Yatugamba okwagala Mukama n’omutima gwaffe gwonna n’omwoyo gwaffe gwonna, n’amaanyi gaffe gonna n’ebirowoozo byaffe byonna era twagala bannaffe nga ffe ffekka. Kituufu ffe okwagala God waffe n’omutima gwaffe gwonna n’amaanyi gaffe, naye kyali kigambo kitukuvu ekitayinza kukuumibwa.
“Osoma otya?” kitegeeza nti Amateeka matuufu era matuufu, naye ggwe ogategeera otya? Munnamateeka oyo yalowooza nti God yali akiwadde okumugondera. Naye etteeka lya God lyaweebwa tusobole okumanya ensobi zaffe n’okubikkula ddala obutali butuukirivu bwaffe. Kibikkula ebibi byaffe, “Oyonoonye. Watta nga nkugambye totta. Lwaki wanjeemera?”
Amateeka gabikkula ebibi ebiri mu mitima gy’abantu. Ka tugambe nti bwe nnali ngenda wano, nnalaba wootameroni enkungu mu nnimiro. God yankulabula ng’ayita mu mateeka nti, “Tokoja sseminti ezo kulya. Kijja kunswaza bw’okikola.” “Yee, Kitange.” “Ennimiro ya Mwami gundi, era nolwekyo tosanidde kuzikoja.” “Yee, Kitange.”
Akaseera ke twokka nga tuwulira okuyita mu mateeka nti tetusanidde kuzikoja, tufuna okwegomba okungi okuzikoja. Singa tusika wansi ensulo, etera okutusika waggulu mu ngeri gye yeeyisaamu. Ebibi by’abantu biri bwe bityo.
God yatugamba nti tetukola kibi. God asobola okugamba ekyo kubanga mutukuvu, kubanga atuukiridde, kubanga alina obusobozi okukikola. Ku luuyi olulala, ‘tekiribaawo’ obutakola kibi era ‘tekiribaawo’ kukola birungi. ‘Tekiribaawo’ birungi mu mitima gyaffe. Amateeka gagamba nti never (kyalagirwa n’ekigambo ‘tekiribaawo’). Lwaaki? Kubanga abantu balina okwegomba mu mitima gyabwe. Tukola ku kwegomba kwaffe. Twenda mu bwenzi kubanga tulina obwenzi mu mitima gyaffe.
Tusaanidde okusoma Baibuli n’obwegendereza. Bwe nasooka okukkiriza Yesu, nnakkiriza okusinziira ku Kigambo. Nasoma nti Yesu yanfiirira ku Musaalaba era nga sisobola kuziyiza maziga kukulukuta. Nali muntu mubi bwetyo era yanfiirira ku Musalaba. Omutima gwange gwannuma nnyo ne mmukkiriza. Awo ne ndowooza nti, ‘Singa ngenda kukkiriza, nnandikkirizza okusinziira ku Kigambo.’
Bwe nnasoma Okuva 20, yagamba nti, “Temubanga na bakatonda balala mu maaso gange.” Nasaba mu kwenenya okusinziira ku kigambo kino. Nakebera ebirowoozo byange okulaba oba nga waliwo ekiseera gye nnalinayo bakatonda abalala nga munsinze, nga mpisa erinnya lye bwereere, oba nga nnavuunamira bakatonda abalala. Nakitegeera nti nnali nfukamidde bakatonda abalala emirundi mingi mu biseera by’emikolo egy’okussa ekitiibwa mu bajjajjange. Nnali nkoze ekibi eky’okubeera ne bakatonda abalala.
Bwentyo ne nsaba nga nneenenya nti, “Mukama, nsinze ebifaananyi. Nnina okusalirwa omusango olw’ekyo. Nsaba onsonyiwe ebibi byange. Sijja kuddamu kukikola.” N’olwekyo, ekibi kimu kyakolebwako.
Olwo ne ngezaako okulowooza oba nga nnali nkowodde erinnya lye mu bwereere. Awo ne nzijukira nti bwe nnasooka okutandika okukkiriza God, nnanywa sigala. Mikwano gyange bang’amba nti, “Toleetera God nsonyi ng’onywa sigala? Omukristaayo ayinza atya okunywa sigala?”
Ekyo kyali kukoowoola erinnya lye bwereere, si bwe kiri? Bwentyo ne nsaba nate nti, “Mukama, nayita erinnya lyo bwereere. Nsaba onsonyiwe. Nja kulekera awo okunywa sigala.” Bwentyo nnagezaako okulekera awo okunywa sigala naye ne nsigala nga ntangaaza n’okuzikiza okumala omwaka mulamba. Ddala kyali kizibu, kumpi nga tekisoboka kulekera awo kunywa ssigala. Naye ku nkomerero, nnasobola okulekera ddala okunywa sigala. Nnawulira nti ekibi ekirala nakyo kyali kikoleddwaako.
Ekyaddako kyali nti “Mujjukire olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, mulukuume nga lutukuvu.” Kino kyali kitegeeza obutakola bintu birala ku Ssande; obutasuubula oba okukola ssente. Bwentyo n’ekyo nakikomya.
Ate era waaliwo “Ssa kitaawo ekitiibwa ne nnyoko.” Nnabassaamu ekitiibwa bwe nnali wala, naye baali nsibuko y’obulumi bw’omutima bwe nnali okumpi. “Ayi God wange, nnyonoonye mu maaso ga God. Nsaba onsonyiwe Mukama.” Nasaba mu kwenenya.
Naye nali sikyayinza kuwa bazadde bange kitiibwa kubanga mu kiseera ekyo bombi baali bafudde. Kiki kye nnali nsobola okukola? “Mukama, nsaba osonyiwe omwonoonyi ono atalina mugaso. Wafiirira ku Musaalaba ku lwange.” Nga nnasiima nnyo!
Mu ngeri eno, nnalowooza nti nnakola ku bibi byange kimu ku kimu. Waliwo amateeka amalala, gamba ng’obutatta, obutakola bwenzi, obuteegomba... Nakitegeera nti nali sikuumye wadde n’emu. Nasobola okutegeera nti saakwatanga n’akamu ku mateeka ago. Nasaba ekiro kyonna. Naye omanyi okusaba mu kwenenya tekinyuma. Ka twogere ku nsonga eyo.
Bwe nnalowooza ku kukomererwa kwa Yesu, nnasobola okusaasira engeri gye kyali kiruma. Era yafiirira ffe abatasobola kubeera mulamu ku bigambo bye. Nakaaba ekiro kyonna nga ndowooza engeri gye yanjagala era ne mmwebaza olw’okumpa essanyu ddene.
Omwaka gwange ogwasooka ogw’okugenda mu kkanisa gwali mwangu nnyo, naye emyaka ebiri egyaddirira oba bwe gityo gyafuuka mizibu nnyo, kubanga nnalina okulowooza nnyo okusobola okukulukusa amaziga olw’okuba nnakikolanga emirundi mingi.
Amaziga bwe gakyatajja, natera okugenda mu nsozi okusaba ne nsiiba okumala ennaku 3. Awo amaziga ne gaddamu. Nnanyikira mu maziga gange, nnakomawo mu bantu, era nakaabira mu kkanisa.
Abantu abanneetoolodde ne bagamba nti, “Ofuuse mutukuvu nnyo n’okusaba kwo mu nsozi.” Naye amaziga tekyewalika gaddamu okukala. Kyafuuka kizibu ddala omwaka ogw’okusatu. Nnalowoozanga ku bikyamu bye nnali nkoze ku mikwano gyange ne Bakristaayo bannange ne nkaaba nate. Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka 4 egy’ekyo, amaziga gaddamu okukala. Mu maaso gange mwalimu endwadde z’amaziga naye nga tezikyakola.
Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka 5, saasobola kukaaba, ne bwe nnagezaako ntya. Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka emirala ebiri nga nkola kino, nnatandika okwetamwa era ne nddamu okukyukira Baibuli.
Amateeka Galiwo Olw’okumanya Ekibi
| Kiki kye tulina okumanya okuyita mu Mateeka? |
| Tetusobola n’akatono okukuuma Amateeka. |
Mu Abaruumi 3:20, tusoma nti, “Kubanga amateeka ge gamanyisa ekibi.” Buno nnabutwala ng’obubaka obw’obuntu eri omutume Pawulo era nga nkkiririza mu bigambo byokka bye nnalonda. Naye oluvannyuma lw’amaziga gange okukala saasobola kugenda mu maaso na bulamu bwange obw’okukkiriza.
N’olwekyo, nnayonoona enfunda n’enfunda era ne nkizuula nti nnalina ekibi mu mutima gwange era nga tekisoboka kutambulira mu Mateeka. Nnali sisobola kugumiikiriza. Naye saasobola kusuula Mateeka kubanga nnali nkkiririza nti gaaweebwa okugondera. Ku nkomerero, nnafuuka munnamateeka ng’abo abalabibwa mu Byawandiikibwa. Kyafuuka kizibu nnyo okweyongerayo mu bulamu obw’okukkiriza.
Kale, okusobola okuva mu buzibu, nnasaba era ne nnoonya Mukama n’obunyiikivu. Oluvannyuma lw’ekyo, nasisinkana Enjiri y’amazzi n’Omwoyo nga mpita mu Kigambo, Ne ntegeera era ne nzikiriza nti ebibi byange byonna byali bisanguliddwa.
Buli lwe nnalaba ebigambo nti sirina kibi, kyabanga ng’empewo empya efuuwa mu mutima gwange. Nnalina ekibi kinene nnyo ne kiba nti bwe nnali nsoma Amateeka, nnatandika okutegeera ebibi ebyo. Nnali nmenya Amateeka gonna Ekkumi agali mu mutima gwange. Okwonoona mu mutima nakyo kibi, era mu butamanya nnali nfuuse mukkiriza mu Mateeka.
Bwe nnakuuma Amateeka, nnasanyukanga. Naye bwe nnali sisobola kukuuma Mateeka, nnabanga munakuwavu, nga nnyiiga era nga ndi munakuwavu. Oluvannyuma, nnakoowa ebintu byonna. Singa nasomesebwa okuva ku ntandikwa nti, “Nedda, nedda. Waliwo amakulu amalala mu Mateeka. Kikulaga nti oli kizimba kya kibi; oyagala nnyo ssente, ab’ekikula ekirala, n’ebintu ebirabika obulungi okutunuulira. Olina ebintu by’oyagala okusinga Katonda. Oyagala kugoberera bintu bya nsi. Amateeka tegaakuweebwa lwa kugakwata, wabula osobole okwetegeera ng’omwonoonyi ng’olina obubi mu mutima gwo.”
Singa mu kiseera ekyo waliwo eyanjigiriza, sandibadde na kubonaabona okumala emyaka 10. Bwe kityo, nnali mmaze emyaka 10 nga mbeera wansi w’Amateeka okutuusa lwe nnategeera kino.
Etteeka ery’okuna ligamba nti “Jjukira olunaku olw’okussa okulutuukuza.” Kitegeeza nti tetuteekwa kukola ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti. Kitegeeza nti tulina okutambula, si kuvuga singa tuba tugenda olugendo oluwanvu. Era nnalowooza nti nnina okutambulira mu kifo we nnali nja okubuulira okusobola okubeera ow`ekitiibwa. Anti nnali nnaatera okubuulira Amateeka. Bwe kityo, nnalowooza nti nnalina okussa mu nkola ebyo bye mbuulira. Kyanzibuwalira nnyo ne kiba nti nnali ndi kumpi okulekulira.
Nga bwe kiwandiikiddwa wano, “Osoma otya?” Ekibuuzo kino saakitegeera era nnabonaabona okumala emyaka 10. Munnamateeka naye yakitegeera bubi. Yalowooza nti singa agondera Amateeka era n’abeera n’obulamu obw’obwegendereza, yandiweereddwa omukisa mu maaso ga God.
Naye Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Osoma otya?” Yee, waddamu bulungi; okitwala nga bwe kyawandiikibwa. Gezaako era okikuume. Ojja kubeera mulamu bw’onookola bw’otyo, naye ofe bw’otokikola. Empeera y’ekibi kwe kufa. “Ojja kufa bw’otokikola.” (Ekikontana n’obulamu kwe kufa, si bwe kiri?)
Naye looya n’okutuusa kati yali tategeera. Munnamateeka ono ye ffe, nze naawe. Nnasoma eby’eddiini okumala emyaka 10. Nagezaako buli kimu, nnasoma buli kimu era ne nkola buli kimu: okusiiba, okwolesebwa, okwogera mu nnimi... Nnasoma Bayibuli okumala emyaka 10 nga nsuubira okutuukiriza ekintu. Naye mu mwoyo, nnali musajja muzibe.
Eyo y’ensonga lwaki omwonoonyi alina okusisinkana omuntu asobola okumulaba nti Omulokozi ye Mukama waffe Yesu. Olwo n’ategeera nti “Aha! Tetusobola kukuuma Mateeka. Ne bwe tugeezaako nnyo, tugenda mu ggeyeena nga tugeezaako. Naye Yesu yajja kutulokola n’amazzi n’Omwoyo! Aleruya!” Tusobola okununulibwa amazzi n’Omwoyo. Kye kisa, ekirabo kya God. Kale tutendereza Mukama.
Nnalina omukisa okumaliriza mu ngeri ey’okuggwaamu essuubi, naye abamu bamala obulamu bwabwe bwonna nga basoma eby’eddiini awatali mugaso era tebategeera mazima okutuusa ku lunaku lwe bafa. Abamu bakkiriza okumala emyaka mingi oba okuva ku mulembe okutuuka ku mulala naye tebazaalibwa mulundi gwakubiri.
Tutikkirwa mu kubeera omwonoonyi nga tukitegedde nti tetusobola kukuuma Mateeka, olwo ne tuyimirira mu maaso ga Yesu ne tuwuliriza enjiri y’amazzi n’omwoyo. Bwe tusisinkana Yesu, tumaliriza emisango gyonna n’okukolimirwa kwonna. Ffe tuli boonoonyi abasinga obubi, naye tufuuka batuukirivu kubanga yatuwonya n’amazzi n’omusaayi.
Yesu yatugamba nti tetusobola kubeera mu by’ayagala. Bino yabibuulira looya, naye nga tabitegeera. N’olwekyo Yesu yamubuulira emboozi emuyambe okutegeera.
| Lwaki abasajja bagwa mu bulamu bw’okukkiriza? |
| Ekibi |
“Yesu n’addamu n’agamba nti Waaliwo omuntu eyali ava e Yerusaalemi ng’aserengeta e Yeriko; n’agwa mu batemu, ne bamwambula, ne bamukuba emiggo, ne bagenda ne bamuleka ng’abulako katono okufa.” (Lukka 10:30) Yesu yali amugamba nti buli muntu abonaabona obulamu bwe bwonna, nga omusajja ono bwe yakubwa ababbi era katono afe.
Omusajja n’aserengeta okuva e Yerusaalemi n’agenda e Yeriko. Yeriko nsi ya nsi era Yerusaalemi ekiikirira ekibuga ky’eddiini, ekibuga eky’okukkiriza, eky’abeewaanira mu mateeka. Kitugamba nti bwe tukkiriza Kristo ng’eddiini yaffe, tetusobola butayonooneka.
“Yesu n’addamu n’agamba nti Waaliwo omuntu eyali ava e Yerusaalemi ng’aserengeta e Yeriko; n’agwa mu batemu, ne bamwambula, ne bamukuba emiggo, ne bagenda ne bamuleka ng’abulako katono okufa.” Yerusaalemi kyali kibuga kinene nga kirimu abantu bangi. Waaliwo kabona asinga obukulu, eggye lya bakabona, Abaleevi n’abasajja bangi ab’enjawulo ab’eddiini eyo. Waaliwo bangi abaali bamanyi obulungi Amateeka. Eyo, baagezaako okutuukiriza Amateeka, naye ne balemererwa okukkakkana nga boolekedde Yeriko. Baasigala nga bagwa mu nsi (Yeriko) ne basisinkana ababbi.
Omusajja ono yasisinkana ababbi ng’ava e Yerusaalemi ng’agenda e Yeriko ne bamuggyako engoye. ‘Okuggyibwako engoye ze’ kitegeeza nti yafiirwa obutuukirivu bwe. Tekisoboka kubeera mulamu nga tugoberera Amateeka. Omutume Pawulo yagamba mu Abaruumi 7:19-20 nti, “Kubanga kye njagala ekirungi ssikikola: naye kye ssaagala ekibi kye nkola. Naye oba nga kye ssaagala kye nkola, si nze nkikola nate, wabula ekibi ekituula mu nze.”
Njagala nnyo okukola ebirungi n’okubeera mu bigambo bye. Naye mu “Kubanga munda, mu mitima gy’abantu, muvaamu ebirowoozo ebibi, obukaba, okubba, okutta, obwenzi, kwegomba: obubi, obukuusa, obuluvu, eriiso ebbi, obuvvoozi, amalala, obusiru.” (Makko 7:21-22)
Olw’okuba ziri mu mitima gyaffe era nga zifuluma buli kiseera, tukola bye tutayagala kukola era tetukola bye twagala okukola. Tusigala tuddiŋŋana ebibi ebyo mu mitima gyaffe. Sitaani kyalina okukola kwe kutuwa butuwa okusindika okutono eri ekibi.
Ebibi mu Mitima gy’Omuntu Bonna
| Tusobola okutambulira ku Mateeka? |
| Nedda |
Kigambibwa mu Makko 7 nti, “Tewali kintu ekiri ebweru w’omuntu bwe kiyingira mu ye, ekiyinza okumwonoona, naye ebintu ebiva mu muntu, ebyo bye byonoona omuntu.”
Yesu atugamba nti mu mutima gw’omuntu mulimu ebirowoozo ebibi, obwenzi, obwenzi, ettemu, obubbi, omululu, obubi, obulimba, obugwenyufu, eriiso ebbi, okuvvoola, amalala, n’obusirusiru mu mutima gw’omuntu. Ffenna tulina ettemu mu mitima gyaffe.
Tewali n’omu atattta. Bamaama bakaabira abaana baabwe nti, “Nedda. Tokikola. Nakugamba nti tokikola, gwe. Nagamba nti tokikola.” Olwo ne bagamba, “Jangu wano. Nakugamba era nakugamba nti tokikola. Nja kukutta olw’ekyo.” Ekyo kiba kitta. Oyinza okutta abaana bo n’ebigambo byo eby’obusiru.
Naye singa tubafulumya obusungu bwaffe bwonna, abaana bajja kufa. Tujja kuba tubasse mu maaso ga God. Oluusi twetiisa. “Ayi God wange! Lwaki nnakikola?” Tutunuulira ebiwundu nga tumaze okukuba abaana baffe ne tulowooza nti tuteekwa okuba nga twagwa eddalu okukola ekyo. Bwe tutyo bwe tweyisa kubanga tulina ettemu mu mitima gyaffe.
Kale ‘Kye ssaagala ekibi kye nkola.’ kitegeeza nti tukola ebibi kubanga tuli babi. Era kyangu nnyo Sitaani okutukema ne tukola ekibi.
Ka tugambe nti omusajja atanunuliddwa atuula mu kiyumba okumala emyaka 10, ng’atunudde mu bbugwe era ng’afumiitiriza nga Sung-chol omumonko omukulu ow’e Korea. Kiba kirungi kasita atuula ng’atunudde mu bbugwe, naye nga waliwo amuleetedde emmere n’aggyayo kasasiro.
Olwo alina okuba n’enkolagana n’omuntu. Tekyandibadde kizibu singa yali musajja, naye katugambe nti yali mukazi mulungi. Singa amulaba mu butanwa, ebiseera byonna by’amala ng’atudde bijja kuba bya bwereere. Alowooza nti, “Sirina kukola bwenzi; nkirina mu mutima gwange, naye nteekwa okukisuula. Nteekwa okukikankanya. Nedda! Fuluma mu birowoozo byange!”
Naye obumalirivu bwe bufuumuuka mu kaseera k’amulaba. Omukazi bw’amala okugenda, atunula mu mutima gwe. Emyaka 10 egy’okukola ennyo, byonna bya bwereere.
Kyangu nnyo Sitaani okuggyawo obutuukirivu bw’omuntu. Sitaani ky’alina okukola kwe kubasindika katono. Omuntu bw’alwana nga tanunuliddwa, asigala agwa mu kibi. Omuntu oyo asasula ekimu eky’ekkumi n’obwesigwa buli Ssande, asiiba ennaku 40, ennaku 100 ez’okusaba okukya... naye sitaani abakema n’ebirungi mu bulamu.
“Njagala okukuwa ekifo ekikulu mu kkampuni, naye oli Mukristaayo era tosobola kukola ku Ssande, nedda? Kye kifo kinene nnyo bwe kityo. Mpozzi oyinza okukola Ssande 3 n’ogenda mu kkanisa omulundi gumu gwokka mu mwezi. Olwo oyinza okunyumirwa ekitiibwa eky’amaanyi n’ofuna omusaala omunene. Ggwe olowooza otya?” Ku ekyo, osanga abantu 100 ku 100 bajja kugulibwa.
Kino bwe kitakola, waliwo abalina obunafu eri abakyala. Sitaani bw’ateeka omukazi mu maaso g’omuntu, omuntu n’agwa mu laavu mangu ddala n’ayerabira God. Bw’atyo obutuukirivu bw’omuntu buggyibwako.
Bwe tugezaako okubeera nga tugoberera Amateeka, byonna bye tulina ku nkomerero bye biwundu by’ekibi, obulumi n’obwavu; tufiirwa obutuukirivu bwonna. “Eyali ava e Yerusaalemi ng’aserengeta e Yeriko; n’agwa mu batemu, ne bamwambula, ne bamukuba emiggo, ne bagenda ne bamuleka ng’abulako katono okufa.”
Kino kitegeeza nti newankubadde tuyinza okugezaako okusigala mu Yerusaalemi nga tubeera mu bulamu nga God Omutukuvu by’ayagala, tujja kwesittala emirundi n’emirundi olw’obunafu bwaffe era tujja kwonooneka.
Era awo tujja kusaba nga twenenya mu maaso ga God. “Mukama, nnyonoonye. Nsaba onsonyiwe; Sijja kuddamu kukikola. Nkusuubiza nti ddala kino kye kijja okuba ekisembayo. Nkwegayiridde era nkwegayirira onsonyiwe omulundi guno gwokka.”
Naye tekiwangaala. Abantu tebasobola kubeera mu nsi muno nga tebalina kibi. Bayinza okusobola okukyewala emirundi ebiri oba esatu, naye kyandibadde tekisoboka butaddamu kwonoona. Kale ebibi biddamu okukolebwa. “Mukama, nsaba onsonyiwe.” Kino bwe kinaagenda mu maaso, bajja kuwugula okuva mu kkanisa (eddiini). Bava ku God olw’ebibi byabwe era bajja kuggweera mu geyena.
Okugenda e Yeriko kitegeeza kugwa mu nsi ey’ensi, okusemberera ensi n’okubeera ewala okuva mu Yerusaalemi. Mu kusooka, Yerusaalemi ekyali kumpi. Naye nga enzirukanya y’okwonoona n’okwenenya eddibwamu, twesanga nga tuyimiridde mu nguudo z’e Yeriko, nga tugudde nnyo mu nsi.
| Ani ayinza okulokolebwa? |
| Abo abalekawo okugezaako ku lwabwe |
Omusajja oyo yasisinkana ani ng’agenda e Yeriko? Yasisinkana ababbi. Omuntu atabeera mu Mateeka afuuka embwa ya wansi. Anywa, era yeebaka buli wantu, afuka buli wantu. Embwa eno egolokoka enkeera naddamu okunywa. Embwa ya wansi erya n’obubi bwayo. Kyeava afuuka embwa. Amanyi nti tasaana kunywa. Yeenenya enkeera naye naddamu okunywa.
Kiringa omusajja eyasisinkana ababbi ng’agenda e Yeriko. Asigadde mabega, alumiziddwa era katono afudde. Mu mutima gwe mulimu ekibi kyokka. Kino omuntu ky’ali.
Abantu bakkiririza mu Yesu era bawangaalira mu Mateeka mu Yerusaalemi naye ne basigala nga balina ekibi kyokka mu mitima gyabwe. Kye balina okulaga olw’obulamu bwabwe obw’eddiini bye biwundu by’ekibi. Abo abalina ekibi mu mutima gwabwe basuulibwa mu geyena. Bakimanyi naye nga tebamanyi kya kukola. Nze naawe naawe tetubaddeyo? Yee. Ffenna twali kye kimu.
Munnamateeka eyategeera obubi Amateeka ga God yandimaze obulamu bwe ng’alwanagana, naye yandiggweeredde mu geyena, ng’alumiziddwa. Ye ffe, naawe nange.
Yesu yekka y’asobola okutuwonya. Abantu abagezi bangi nnyo abatwetoolodde era tebalekera awo kulaga bye bamanyi. Bonna beefuula abawangaalira mu Mateeka ga God. Tebasobola kuba beesimbu gye bali. Tebasobola kwogera butereevu kituufu oba kikyamu, wabula bulijjo beemalira ku kulongoosa endabika yaabwe ey’okungulu okulabika ng’ebeesigwa.
Mu bo mulimu aboonoonyi abali mu kkubo erigenda e Yeriko, ababbi abakubwa n’abo abaafa edda. Tulina okumanya engeri gye tuli abanafu mu maaso ga God.
Tulina okukkiriza mu maaso ge nti, “Mukama, nja kugenda mu geyena bw’otomponye. Nsaba ontaase. Nja kugenda yonna gy’oyagala, ka kibeere nti laddu oba kibuyaga, bw’onzikiriza okuwulira enjiri entuufu. Bw’ondekawo, nja kugenda mu geyena. Nkwegayirira ontaase.”
Abo abamanyi nti boolekedde geyena, abo abava mu kugezaako ku lwabwe ne bawanirira Mukama, bano be basobola okulokolebwa. Tetusobola kulokolebwa ku lwaffe.
Tulina okumanya nti tulinga omusajja eyagwa mu babbi.
Okubuulira kuno nakwo kuliwo mu nkola y`ebitabo by`amasannyalaze. Koona ku kifuniko ky`ekitabo wansi.
