EMPIISA EYA KUSATU: Fuga Weeraba n’Obwegendereza

“… mufubenga nnyo okwongerako … okwefuga … kubanga singa bino bibabeeramu era nga byeyongera, tebijja kubalekera okuba abatali ba mugaso oba abatabala bibala mu kumanya kwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo …” 2 Peter 1:5–9

Ekitabo kino kiva ku bumanyirivu bwange ku kontinenti ssatu wamu n’amasomo amakulu okuva mu Baibuli. Twekenneenya omutwe gw’okweyongera mu bukugu mu bitundu ebikulu eby’enkulaakulana y’omuntu, okusaba, okusiba, obulamu obulungi, ensimbi, obufumbo, okukuza abaana, okutwala abantu eri Yesu, n’obuwulize n’okugumiikiriza eri Katonda. Twamala okulaba nti okwefuga mu kuyiga okuyita mu bumanyirivu bwaffe kuleeta enkulaakulana mu bulamu bw’omuntu. Kati, essuula eno eyongera okutuuliriza omutwe gw’okwefuga. Era mu kusoma kuno kwonna, tujja kulaba enkozesa nnyingi ez’omuwendo ez’okwefuga. Awatali okwefuga, tetusobola kufuuka ffe abasinga obulungi ffe ffekka.

Okwegoberera mu buweereza bwaffe eri Katonda kutwetaagisa okwetwala ffe ffekka. Abakristaayo tebakuba kkaadi za ssaawa, wadde okuba n’omukulembeze abagamba buli lunaku okuteeka ku biwandiiko eby’ebbanga lye bakoze ku pulojekiti. Mu buweereza bw’Abakristaayo, tuteekwa okuba abaweereza abesitula. Kyangu nnyo obutaba na mpisa. Bwe tukankana mu kifo ky’okuyiga, oba ne twebaka mu kifo ky’okusaba, tewali alina kutulanga ku nkomerero. Tewali alina kutegeeza “omukulu waffe” — ye yamala okubimanya dda. Naye mu nnono yonna mwe tubeera, abo abeefuga bo bokka be bavaamu obuwanguzi ku nkomerero.

Okwegoberera ye mpisa y’obulamu bwonna. Empisa mu kitundu kimu eky’obulamu bwafe zitumbula okwagala empisa mu bitundu ebirala. Okufuba okuba abasinga obulungi olw’ekitiibwa kya Katonda kutufuula okutegeera enkolagana y’empisa okuva mu kitundu kimu okudda mu kirala. Empisa ennungi mu kitundu kimu eky’obulamu bwafe zireeta emirembe n’ebibala mu bitundu ebirala. Bwe tumala okufuna ebirungi ebiva mu nkola n’enteekateeka mu kitundu kimu eky’obulamu bwafe, mangu twetaga ebirungi ebyo mu bitundu ebirala ebyali bitakola bulungi.

Ebintu Ebisinga Obulungi Ebiva Mu Nkola Eya Buli Lunaku

Si weebaza nti tokyetaaga okusalawo buli lunaku ddi, wa wa, oba otya gye oteeka enviiri zo? Si kyangu nnyo nga tokyetaaga okusalawo buli lunaku ddi oba otya gy’osala enviiri zo oba obululu bwo? Genda ku lugendo lw’okwesula mu lusisira oluvudde ku nkola zino ezabulijjo era lukuwalirize okuteekateeka n’okulowooza ku ngeri gy’oyinza n’okubikola. Kino kijja kukujjukiza ebbanga lingi lye tusasaanya mu kusalawo ku bintu ebitono nnyo. Enkola ezabulijjo zisobola okukozesebwa bulungi mu kukekkereza obudde, era tetulina kwegayirira kuziteekawo. Singa enkola ziba zikkiriza obudde mu nsonga entono ez’obulamu, ziba n’obusobozi obw’okukkiriza obudde obusinga mu nsonga ennene.

Ng’olina enkola, osobola okulowooza ku bintu, okubisalawo omulundi gumu, n’oluvannyuma okubikola buli lunaku, buli wiiki, oba buli mwaka. Mu kusalawo empisa z’oyagala okutumbula, endowooza zo ku bintu eby’omuwendo zitandika okukola. Bw’omala okulonda enkola, kisigalawo okugoberera ekyo ky’osalawo. Nnalina okuziba enduulu ku ngendo ez’oku ddwaliro ly’ebyenvu. Emirundi mingi nnabera n’erinnya lya linooba eretaaga okujjuza, era saayagalanga n’okubuulirirwa ku kuteekateeka envu zange! Mu kyeya kya 1983 bwe twali mu kuwummula, nakola omulimu munene ku meno gange ogw’okulongoosa. Oluvannyuma lw’ekyo, nasalawo okweyongera mu nkola yange ey’okubikkiriza envu emirundi ebiri buli lunaku n’okukozesa omuguwa gw’ebyenvu bulijjo. Okuva olwo, ssaafuna linooba n’erinnya lyonna okumala emyaka kkumi n’omwenda. Newaakubadde nga nandibadde nsanyuka singa nasalawo kino mu biseera ebyali eby’omulembe, nneebaza Katonda nti nakisalawo nga bukyali. Sikyakulembera kulwana n’okusalawo oba nkubikkeze oba nkube omuguwa — nkola byombi bulijjo olw’ekusalawo kwe nakola omulundi gumu. Kino kiyinza okulabika nga kyakusaasaanya obudde, naye kiraga obulungi omuwendo gw’enkola.

Ebintu ebikulu bye by’omusingi ku nkola ennungi. Amagezi g’omutima n’okuwulira bitera okuba abatali beesigwa mu kusika ebisalawo ennungi. Essuula eno etuwa ebifo ebiwerako bye tusobola okwekenneenya n’obwegendereza. Bw’otandika okuteekateeka olugendo lwo, sala ebisalawo ebirungi ng’osinziira ku bintu ebikulu, so si kugoberera nneebaza yo yokka. Oluvannyuma lw’okukola buli kisalawo n’obugendererwa, kola ekirala — sala ekisalawo okugoberera kye wasalawo. Ebisalawo ennungi bitusobozesa okutambula ku “autopilot” okutuuka ku kifo kye tugenda. Okugeza, eno y’enkola yange eya buli lunaku: ngolokoka ennyo ku makya, nsaba, nsoma Baibuli, nsiba olunaku lumu buli wiiki, nsoma, nteekateeka amasomo, nteeka essaawa z’omu ofiisi, ndagira amassimu, nzanya basketball oba nziruka, nkola omubiri, era ne nwummula ku Ssande. Enkola eno empadde obulamu obulungi era obw’omuwendo ennyo.

Ku Kulowooza n’Okutunuulira

Nasalawo dda nti sijja kutuula ku birowoozo ebibi. Nkozesezza ekisalawo kino emirundi mingi. Ebyawandiikibwa byogera bulungi nti tulina “okumenya ebigambo byonna n’okwewaana kwonna okwefuula okusinga okumanya Katonda, era tutwale buli ndowooza nga musibe okugifuula egondera Kristo” (2 Abakkolinso 10:5). Nnasalawo kino nga bukyali. Kati, bwe mba nndabye ndowoozo mbi, nkozesa enteekateeka yange ey’okusaba, okwefuga, empisa z’omwoyo, n’okwesiga Katonda. Ne mu kusaba — nga ndi nzekka oba mu kibinja — emirundi egimu mpitamu ebirowoozo ebibi oba eby’obuwemu. Nasalawo nga bukyali nti bwe binnzijira, nzija kubirwanya, okubiziyiza, n’okubiwangula.

Abamu bagamba nti newaakubadde nga badayimoni tebasobola kumanya birowoozo byaffe byonna, basobola okubikosa. Kino kitegeeza nti badayimoni bayinza okuteeka ebirowoozo ebimu mu mitima gyaffe — emirundi mingi ebitatwagala. Tulina okubigoba. Okufuga ebirowoozo byaffe kwetaaga okwefuga. Kyokka badayimoni tebalina maanyi oba obusobozi bungi nnyo okutukema n’ebirowoozo ebibi nga Abakristaayo abamu abatya badayimoni bwe bagamba. Naye balabika nga beetaba ku birowoozo ebiva mu magezi g’abantu agazadde n’ebirowoozo ebibi. Bagezaako okufuula ebirowoozo ebibi okuba eby’amaanyi ennyo oba okugumira okumala ebbanga eddene okusinga bwe twandibadde tubirese mu kufuba kwaffe okw’okubeera abatukuvu n’abatuukirivu. Tulina okubirwanya.

Nga ndi n’ekifaananyi kyange ekizadde nnyo, nkola ebirowoozo ebibi ebyenough nze kennyini nga sikyetaga buyambi bwa Sitaani. Alina obusobozi okwetuusa ku ndowoozo yange entono ennyo embi n’agyongerako amaanyi okutuusa lwe gifuuka ndowoozo mbi nnyo. Nasalawo okwewaayo okugoba omutandisi gw’ndowoozo eyo wamu n’omugenyi atambula nayo mu bwongo bwange. Olugendo lw’obulamu lwanguyira nnyo nga tetulina bakozi batambula naffe abatetaagisa. Sitaani bwe yeeyongera mu kukola kwe, ayongera obubi mu bulamu. Bwe mmutegeera mu bubi bwe, nteeka amaanyi gange mu kkubo ery’omulembe. Mu kusattulukuka kw’okusanyukira n’okukyawa ebirowoozo ebibi, tufirwa obusobozi okusalawo. Ndaba nti kyangu okussa mu nkola ekisalawo kye nakola dda okusinga okukola ekisalawo ennungi nga ndi mu kisaafu kino. Ebisalawo byange eby’edda bifuga ebirowoozo byange — n’okutunuulira kwange.

Ekifaananyi kyange mu kufuga okutunuulira kwange kiva mu ssuula omu Yobu mw’ayogera ku mpisa ze:

 “Nakola endagaano n’amaaso gange obutakwatiranga mu butamani ku muwala.” (Yobu 31:1).

Ekyo kyokulabirako kirungi nnyo! Emirundi egimu abayizi abawala be nkola nabo ku yunivasite tebatyanguyiza kino. Nandyagadde okulowooza nti tebandizadde baambala bitambala ebiraga ekifuba oba ebinyiga singa bamanyi obuzibu kino bwe kireetera abasajja. Naye, nneenyigira okufuga okutunuulira kwange n’ebirowoozo byange. Nasalawo dda nti bwe mba njogera n’abakazi, nzija kutunuulira amaaso gaabwe n’obutaddayo wansi. Nkozesezza enteekateeka eno emirundi mingi mu kaseera katono nnyo. Mu kiseera kye kimu, bwe mba nfunye ebirowoozo eby’obutamani, ngezaako okulaba omwoyo gw’omukazi, okwagala omwoyo gwe, n’okumusabira nga Katonda bw’ayagala. Era nasalawo nti singa kinsobera okukola kino, nditegeeza mukyala wange Char ne tusaba wamu. Annyambye nnyo mu biseera ebyo, era bulijjo nsanyuka olw’okuba nga mbeera omugumivu gy’ali.

Laba akabonero akalaga omuwendo gw’okusala ekisalawo nga bukyali n’okwefuga mu kukigoberera nga embeera zitufugiddwa. Ku yunivasite gye nkuweereza, tulina ekifo ky’okufulumya ebitabo ekirimu emigo esatu eg’abantu be balindira okuweebwa obuweereza. Lunaku lulala nnali ku kaunta nga nlindiridde kopi zange, omu ku bayizi bange abaali balina okusoma kw’omulembe n’ajja okwogera nange. Empisa y’engoye ye yankubiriza okubeera omusanyufu nti nasalawo dda okukuuma amaaso gange ku maaso ge n’okukuuma empisa entuufu eri abaana ba Katonda. Era nafuna emirembe mu kusaba kwange ne Char mu kiro ekyo. Mu kiseera ky’embeera, essanyu, oba okwesanyusa okw’omu kaseera, tuba tetaamiddwa bulungi okukola ebisalawo ebikulu. Tuyinza okukkiriziganya ne Yobu. Tuyinza okukola endagaano n’amaaso gaffe. Eyo ye nteekateeka yaffe ey’amagezi. Okuva awo, tugoberera ekyo kye twasalawo — era kino twasobola okusalawo nga bukyali okukikola mu bwangu.

Okweteekateeka Okusiba

Essuula 5 ne 6 zinyonyola ku kusiba mu bujjuvu, ate essuula 12 eyogera nnyo ku mize gy’okulya n’ensonga z’obulamu. Naye wano tukoona ku kimu ku mize gy’okulya kubanga kikwatagana n’okwefuga era kikosa okweteekateeka kwaffe okusiba. Kikwata ku kunywa eby’obutumbizi n’eddagala erimu ebikozesebwa eby’ensengeka.

Abantu abamu bagamba nti kirungi okwewala kaawa okumala ennaku ntono nga tonnasiba. Kino kiyamba omubiri obutaba muggumivu nnyo ku kikozesebwa kya caffeine era kitonnyereza enkyukakyuka okuva mu kulya okudda mu butalya mmere. Okwewala kaawa nga bukyali kirungi okusinga okuleka kaawa, sukaali n’emmere byonna mu kiseera kimu. Ebirowoozo ebizibu ebiva mu kuleka caffeine mu lunaku olusooka oba olwokubiri ziba zinyigiriza era zikyusa ebirowoozo. Kyokka kisinga bulungi okwewala okuba mu busaze ku sukaali oba caffeine okuva ku ntandikwa. Olwo obeera ddala mwereere.

Mu biro eby’akakadde, nasalawo okusiba ennaku ssatu. Char yali agenze mu Alaska okuzzaamu abaana baffe obuwanguzi mu kuyambiira okujjanjaba muzzukulu waffe omupya. Nnali mu wiiki y’okuwummula mu masomo era nnali nfuga byonna ku nteekateeka y’emirimu gyange. Mu makya g’olunaku olusooka olwomukaaga, ne ntegeera nti nnali mwereere okusiba ennaku ssatu eziddirira bwe nnandibadde njagadde. Kubanga saalya sukaali, tewaali bulumi bwa mutwe bwa “kuleka sukaali.” Era kubanga sanywa kaawa oba kola, saafuna bulumi bwa caffeine. Nnali mwetegefu okusiba ennaku ssatu nga sirina kweteekateeka nga njawulo ku kaawa oba sukaali. Bwe tulya emmere ey’amaanyi era ne twewala eby’obutumbizi, kisoboka okusiba mu bwangu — oba kusiba olunaku lumu buli wiiki oba ennaku ssatu buli mwaka.

Abantu abamu tebasiba kubanga balwana nnyo ku lunaku olusooka olw’okuleka ebikozesebwa eby’eddagala. Okubeera ku by’obutumbizi si kyakulabirako kirungi okuva ku ntandikwa. Kisinziira ku mugaso gwe weewa ku kwefuga okw’omwoyo okusiba kwe kuleeta. Singa ky’oyita okukola empisa ezikufuula okusiba okuba okwangu kikutwalira obudde bungi, ensonga yokka gy’oyetaaga okugumira mu kutateekateeka kwe kugamba nti, “Okusiba tekundiko muwendo munene.”

Okusiba si kyangu, naye kuleeta ebivaamu eby’ekitalo. Okusiba kutusobozesa okuteeka ebirowoozo ku kusaba, okutegeera Ekigambo kya Katonda, n’okuwulira eddoboozi lye mu bwangu. Okusiba kwetaaga okwefuga — okusalawo okusiba n’okugoberera ekyo ky’osalawo byombi byetaaga empisa. Naye okusiba tekizibu nga bwe tukiteeka. Ekizibu kiri nti okulya bulijjo eby’obutumbizi n’ebikozesebwa eby’eddagala kuleetera okusiba okuba okw’amaanyi. Ekizibu kirabika mu kusiba, naye mu butuufu si kizibu kya kusiba; kye kizibu ky’emize emibi gy’okulya.

Essuula 5 etunuulira okusiba mu bujjuvu n’olwekyo tetwongera kulaga wano. Jjukira nti okwefuga n’empisa z’omuntu mu kitundu kimu eky’obulamu byongera amaanyi mu bitundu ebirala. Nayiga okwefuga mu kusaba nga bukyali nga sinnatandika okusiba buli wiiki. Bwe namala okukola empisa emu, nnali mwetegefu okutandika endala ennungi. Okwefuga mu kulya emmere entuufu buli lunaku kuntendeka okusiba nga ndi mwetegefu. Endowooza y’okufuga omubiri n’endowooza y’okusalawo okusinga okwegomba ziva mu mpisa z’okulya ennungi. Eky’obusungu, okwesigama ku sukaali n’caffeine kubba abantu abamu essanyu n’obuwanguzi bw’okusiba. Okusiba kwa mugaso nnyo era kwa mwendo nnyo okutuusa nti kisaanidde okutegeka mize gyaffe egy’okulya eya buli lunaku okusobola okukikola mu bwangu.

Okwefuga kwe tukola n’obuwanguzi bwe tufunamu mu kulwana n’okwegomba kw’emmere okuyita mu kusiba, newaakubadde nga bya mugaso byokka, biba bitundu ku buwanguzi obusinga obunene: emyoyo gyaffe gye gifuga; emibiri gyaffe si gye gifuga. Emmere etuweereza; tetugireka kutufuga. Tusobola okugamba nti, “Kya muwendo nnyo gye ndi.”

Okusalawo Obungi Bwe Tunasaba

Obutendeke bw’Okusaba buli lunaku bwe businga okuba obw’amaanyi mu byetaagisa okwefuga. Mu myaka gyange egyasooka mu ssomero lya Bayibuli, bazadde bange bandabirira ebitabo bibiri eby’okusaba ebyawandiikibwa Leonard Ravenhill, ebyankwata nnyo ku mutima. Bwe biba bisoboka, bisome. Ekimu kyayitibwa Why Revival Tarries ate ekirala Meat for Men. Mu bbaluwa taata gy’ansindikira mu kiseera ekyo, yansaba nteekeewo omuze gw’okusaba essaawa emu buli lunaku. Bulijjo kibadde kinnyoogeza nti Katonda yakozesa bbaluwa eyo okuva eri taata okunnumya nnyo bw’ati. Okusinziira ku kyenamanya, taata ye teyali n’omuze ogwo. Taata yali musajja mulungi, naye maama yalina amaanyi n’okutegeera okw’eby’omwoyo okusinga. Naye ekigatta ekitabo kya Ravenhill n’amagezi ga taata byankubiriza okutandika omuze gwe nkuumye okuva mu mwaka gwange ogw’okubiri mu ssomero lya Bayibuli (1963–1964).

Sijjukira ddi lwe nakyusa, naye mu bwangu naggya ku kusaba essaawa emu buli lunaku ne ntandika okusaba essaawa bbiri buli lunaku. Kino nkyakuumye nnyo okumala emyaka mingi. Nkukubiriza osalewo obuwanvu bw’oyagala okusaba buli lunaku. Tosaba ku bintu by’owulira byokka. Abantu abasinga bayongera okusaba bulijjo singa beesalira ebiseera eby’enjawulo eby’okusaba. Era tusaba okumala akaseera akawanvu okusinga bwe tuba twesalidde okumaliriza nga tumaze okufuna obuwulize.

Yesu yayita abayigirizwa be okusaba naye okumala essaawa emu. Omuwandiisi David Wilkerson ayogera ku “kutuula omuwendo” gw’essaawa zaffe eri Katonda — ekyo kiba essaawa bbiri n’eddakiika amakumi abiri mu ena buli lunaku. Nze nalonda okusaba essaawa bbiri buli nkya. Salawo ekisinga okukugasa, olwo ky’osigala nakyo kwe kwefuga okutuukiriza ky’osazeewo.

Okukola kino, oyinza okwetaaga okukendeeza ku biseera by’oyita mu bintu ebitalina mugaso nnyo. Ssaabadde nnyo mulabi wa TV. Bwe twali abaana, teyalinawo mu maka gaffe kubanga bazadde bange tebaalowooza nti yandibadde n’amugaso. N’olwekyo, tekyandikoze buzibu kunteeka ku ludda. Nnalonda obuwanvu bw’essaawa zange ez’okusaba nga ndi wa myaka 19, nga sirina mize mibi mingi egy’okuleka. Kiri kyangu okutandika emize emirungi nga bukyali kuruta nga wemaze okukula.

Okusaba buli lunaku kye kimu ku mize emirungi gy’olina okukuuma. Ku kyo kwe kiva emize emirala emirungi mingi. Kyokka, si kussibwa muwendo gwa ssaawa kye kigendererwa — ekikulu kwe kusaba.

Mu kiseera kye tuteeka ku kusaba, twetaaga okwefuga tusigale nga tulowooza ku kye tukola. Kino kyetaagisa okuba nga tuli bokka oba nga tusaba mu ngeri ey’enjawulo nga Omwoyo Mutukuvu atulaga. Okusaba okusinga okulaga omusomo gwa Mukama waffe mu bitundu mukaaga nga Larry Lea bwe yayigiriza kiyamba nnyo mu kutusigaza nga tutunula ku kusaba.

Bwe weesalira ddi n’obungi bw’osaba, beerawo eddembe okuddamu okwetegereza enkola yo n’ogikyusa bwe kiba kyetaagisa. Lumu nalowooza nti nnandigalamuka ku ssaawa 11:30 ez’ekiro okusaba obulungi. Naye oluvannyuma lw’ennaku nnya, nnalaba nga nkoye nnyo ne nndemwa okusaba n’okukola emirimu emirala. Ne ndayira nti nteekwa okusula obulungi okusaba n’omubiri oguwummudde n’omutwe ogutegedde.

Bwe mbala empaka z’emisinde emigere emirala, nziruka ku mulyango gwe nsobola okuumya okumala olugendo lwonna. Bw’ensoba, amagulu gang’agaana. Era bw’ennonera, mmanya nti sirikoza ky’osobola. Okusaba n’emize emirala mu bulamu bw’Ekikristaayo bifuula obulamu bubeere nga luguudo lw’amakumi — si ssaaliyo ya ddakiika ntono. Noonya omulyango gw’osobola okuumya era ogukuumye.

Okusoma Baibuli

Okuva mu kyeya kya 1963, nakola empisa y’okusoma Baibuli yonna okuva ku ntandikwa okutuuka ku nkomerero buli mwaka. Nakola empisa eno oluvannyuma lw’okusoma ekitabo Through Gates of Splendor ekyawandiikibwa Elisabeth Elliot. Mu kitabo ekyo, yalaga engeri omwami we, Jim Elliot, bwe yayagalanga nnyo Ebyawandiikibwa era n’abisoma bulijjo.

Mu butuufu, mu kiseera ekimu nakola empisa zombi — okusoma Baibuli yonna buli mwaka n’okusaba essaawa emu buli lunaku. Mu kyeya ekyo nnayitamu enkyukakyuka ennene mu by’omwoyo era ne nsalawo nti eby’omwoyo byali bya muwendo okusinga ebintu ebirala byonna. Okusaba bulijjo n’okusoma Baibuli byali ebiva mu kukyuka okwo okw’omutima n’endowooza.

Okuva mu 1963 okutuuka leero, nsonyeezebwa nnyo ebiseera byange eby’okusisinkana Mukama buli lunaku. Sikyetaaga kwebuuza buli lunaku oba ndina kusoma oba kusaba — nkola ku kusalawo kwe nnakola dda. Emirundi mingi nsanga ekigambo mu kusoma kw’olunaku ekimpereza mu butereevu.

Baibuli yange erimu empapula 1,094 ez’Ebyawandiikibwa. Bwe nsoma empapula ssatu buli lunaku okuva ku Mmande okutuuka ku Lwokutaano, n’empapula nnya ku Ssande, nsobola okusoma Baibuli yonna mu nnaku 365. Oyinzawo okubalirira empapula za Baibuli yo n’ozigabanya mu 365 okufuna enteekateeka yo. Waliwo emikutu mingi egy’okusoma Baibuli mu mwaka mulamba, era waliwo ne Baibuli ezirondebwa mu ngeri y’ebyafaayo ezigabanyiddwa mu bitundu bya buli lunaku.

Ekikulu si ngeri gy’osomamu, wabula kwe kwekakaasiza okutuukirira Ebyawandiikibwa bulijjo. Ebitundu ebimu mu Baibuli si byangu kusoma, era ekyo kyennyini kituwa ensonga ey’okusalawo okusoma byonna — si bitundu byokka bye twagala.

Omwoyo wa Katonda ayogera okuyita mu Kigambo kye ekiwandiikiddwa — Baibuli. Kijjuza endowooza zaffe, kituukirira obulamu bwaffe mu ngeri entuufu, mu mazima, mu maanyi, era kituyamba okuba n’obulamu obutuukirivu. Mu by’omwoyo, tuba bye tusoma. Okusoma Ebyawandiikibwa mu ngeri ya bulijjo kintu kikulu nnyo mu kukulaakulanya abaweereza ba Katonda.

Okuweewala Okuyitiriza Mu Bintu Byonna

Ekitabo kino kitera okuteekamu eby’okulabirako eby’obulamu bwange bwennyini. Bino bituyamba okutegeera engeri gye tuyinza okukozesaamu eby’okuyigiriza eby’Ebyawandiikibwa mu bulamu bwaffe obwa bulijjo. Kyokka ebyafaayo bino ebiddako biraga ebiseera eby’enjawulo — ebiseera Katonda by’ayagala tuleke okuzeereza nnyo obulamu bwaffe era tusanyuke. Okwefuga kirungi, naye nakyo kyetaaga okukozesebwa mu ngeri ey’ekigero, mu kisa, n’okutunuulira obulungi embeera.

Katonda yawa abantu ekirabo ekinene mu ssaawa y’okusanyuka okw’omubiri mu bufumbo. Naye abantu abamu abalina ebigendererwa ebirungi era abalungi bennyini bakozesezza okwefuga mu ngeri ey’okwekwawula okwetaagisa — nga beekanya ne bawakana ku kirabo Katonda ky’ayagala mu bufumbo bwabwe. Kiba kirungi abufumbo bwe baba bakkaanyeeko okumala ekiseera ekigere ku kigendererwa ekimu, naye ekyo si kye kyentunuulidde wano. Abaebbulaniya 13:4 bagamba nti, “Obufumbo bubeere bwa kitiibwa eri bonna, n’obusiri bw’abafumbo bubeere bulongoofu …” Mu nkyusa nyingi, olunyiriri luno lutwalibwa ng’ekiragiro, naye mu lulimi Olugereeki luyinza n’okutwalibwa ng’ennyonyola. Kale n’okuvvuunulwa nti, “Obufumbo bwa kitiibwa eri bonna, n’obusiri bw’abafumbo bulongoofu,” kuyinza okuba kukkirizibwa. Mu mpisa, obusiri bw’abafumbo bulina okukuumibwa bulongoofu. Kyokka mu bufumbo bwa Bakristaayo bangi, bulongoofu bubaawo dda. Okubukuuma bulongoofu kyetaagisa, naye okuba nti bulongoofu bwa butonde ky’ekikulu ennyo. Singa abafumbo balina obwesabadde n’obulungi mu ngeri yaabwe, obusanyizo mu bufumbo bwandibadde bungi, obwenzi bwandikendedde, n’okwawukana kwandibadde kutono.

Ebyawandiikibwa mu Ngero ne mu Kitabo kya Sulemaani byogerera ddala bulungi ku nsonga eno. Ebyawandiikibwa bikubiriza abafumbo okusanyuka mu mibiri gyabwe. Katonda yagenderera okuba nti okwegatta okw’omubiri kuba kusanyusa era kukolebwa emirundi mingi. Ekirabo kino kirungi nnyo okukyanga, era kya muwendo nnyo okulaba nga Sitani takyiba. Mu kwegatta okw’omubiri, abafumbo balina okuwummula, okuba n’obuyiiya, n’okufuna obudde nga bakkiriziganya, era basanyuke.

Obufumbo bwe buyingirwa mu bulongoofu n’obutaliimu mibi, entandikwa y’okunoonyereza n’okuzuula ebintu ku kiro ky’obufumbo eyinza okugenda mu maaso okumala emyaka mingi. Ebintu bino birina okusigala mu bufumbo bwabwe, nga bwe tulina okuba abalongoofu, abawombeefu, abegendereza, n’okwefuga ennyo mu mpisa zaffe eza bweru w’obufumbo. Okusikirizibwa okwenzi kwandibadde kutono singa abafumbo babadde tebategerekereza nnyo mu bufumbo bwabwe era nga bateekateeka ebintu ebisingawo okusanyusa munda mu bwo. Nga bwe twogedde, Bayibuli egamba nti obufumbo bwa kitiibwa, obusiri bulongoofu, n’okwegatta kuli mu mikisa. Waliwo ebiseera n’ebifo ebirina okubeeramu okwefuga. Naye okwegatta okw’omubiri mu bufumbo kye kimu ku bifo Katonda bye yawadde omukisa, omuntu n’ataswala mu maaso ga Katonda, nga bafumbo bombi bawulira obulungi.

Mu byafaayo byange eby’obufumbo, bino byonna byabadde bituufu, era ebyafaayo bibiri ebiddako byongera okubinyweza.

Olumu bwe twali mu Amerika ku luwummula, twakyalira ekkanisa mu bitundu bya wakati mu ggwanga. Mukyala wa paasita yayigiriza ekibiina ky’abantu abakulu ku Ssande. Okulaga obukulu bw’okwegulira n’okusaba, yagamba nti ye ne bba bakkaanya okulekera awo okwegatta ku Lwomukaaga ekiro babeere n’obudde bw’okusaba ku lwa Ssande. Mu mutima gwange ne ndowooza nti, “Nze nsanyuse nga tetulina mateeka ago, naye mazima babeera begulira nnyo.” Emyaaka mingi bwe gyayita, ne nnyumirwa nti paasita yali ayingidde mu bwenzi era ekkanisa ne eyawukana. Waliwo ebirala bye sirina kumanya, kyensonga lwaki ssiwagala kusalawo mangu. Naye bulijjo nneebuuza oba okwefuga kwabwe (okwakkirizibwa eri Katonda) kwakoma ku kweyongera ne kuba okwekwawula okw’ekikambwe — ng’ekintu omulabe kye yakozesa. Mu kufuba kwaffe okwewala obulabe ng’obwo mu bufumbo bwaffe, kirungi okusanyuka mu bisuubizo by’obufumbo.

Mu buto bwange, nnoonya amagezi okuva eri omusajja omutukuvu gwe nnassaamu ekitiibwa ennyo. Nalina obuzibu mu nsonga z’obusajja n’obukazi, ekizibu ekituuka ku bavubuka bangi abatalina bufumbo. Omuweereza oyo yansaba okukyamala nti okwefuga kwali kwetaagisa ne mu bufumbo. Yagamba nti omuntu tasobola kweyagala mu budde bwonna olw’emirimu n’obuvunaanyizibwa. Emyaka emu n’ekitundu bwe gyayita, nkyali sirina bufumbo, ne nnyumirwa nti mukyala w’omuweereza oyo yali ayingidde mu bwenzi. Yagamba nti omusajja omulala yamulaga okufaayo n’obulungi okusinga bba. Nze ne nnyiga nti okwekwawula okutetaagisa kuyinza okuleetera abantu okuba abangu okukosebwa.

Ekikulu kye nayiga kwe kuba nti okwegulira okungi kuyinza okuleetera okuzikiriza okw’empisa. Ekyo kyanyamba okutegeera nti okwefuga kwange okwabadde okulungi kwali kumpitirirako ne kuba okwekwawula okutetaagisa.

Ekigendererwa ekikulu mu ssuula eno kwe kukukubiriza okwongera ku nteekateeka n’obukugu mu bulamu bwo ng’omukristaayo nga okola ensalawo eziteekeddwa mu magezi. Oluvannyuma tuba tutambulira ku nsalawo ezo. Naye tetuli makina. Tulina enneewulira era tulina okuzitunuulira. Waliwo ebiseera abantu bye babeera byetaagisa okusinga enteekateeka zaffe. Okumanya ddi lw’olina okukyusa enteekateeka yo kyetaaga obukugu.

Ekibala ky’Omwoyo — okwefuga — kye kisumuluzo ky’obulamu obulongoofu era obukola bulungi. Katonda ayagala abaweereza be basanyuke mu bulamu obulina enteekateeka, kyensonga lwaki atuyigiriza okutegeka endowooza zaffe n’okwefuga. Okwefuga kye kisumuluzo. Obusobozi bwaffe kwe kuba nti tusobola okukola ebisingawo, era okwefuga kwe kukkaanya ne tukituukiriza. Bwe tugamba nti tusobola okukola, tuba tusobola singa tukyagala. Era y’ensonga lwaki ekibala kino eky’Omwoyo kya muwendo nnyo.
