EKIHANDE EKYA 11—ERIYINYALIKA ERY’ABANYA-MWAMI OO 197

Enguma y’oku bwimiri bw’olukengerwa obwamabiritabugiwa busana n’erilungula emiramirye lyabya eriyinyalika ery’abanya-mwami b’ebu Gerimani ababya ini bakristo, eryabya lyabere omu Ndeko Ngulu eya Sipayazi (Spires) omu kirimo kya 1529. Eryimana malume-lume, eryikirirya n’ erisika ery’abalume ba Nyamuhanga abo mulyaleka ihabya obwiranda bw’eriyirengekanirya n’eriyitwiramo busana n’ebirimo eyakwamaho. Erigana lyabo mulyaha ekanisa eyibindukire eyo y’erina erya protestant (n’ibuga ambu Abakaganaya); emisingyi yabwo niyo “yikwikire obu abahakani.” — Biri omu D’Aubigne, ekitabu ekya 13, ekihande ekya 6. OO 197.1

Ekiro ekilulumene kyabya ikyabiryasira erikalalirya ery’erilungula emiramirye n’emikolere y’e kanisa. N’omu hanabya erilagira ery’omu Ndeko eyabya e Worms, eryakanganaya liti Luther ni mutwa-bilayiro n’eritanga abandu bw’eryikangirirya kutse enyikirirya y’esyo ngangirirya syiwe, omu bukama obwo mwabya imune eririgira esyo enyikirirya esyo. Eriteka-teka lya Nyamuhanga mulyakakirya amatoki awakalwa n’okwenene. Omukama Charles owa 5 abya inyanakondomere okw’ihinola erilungula ly’emiramirye, nikwa anabya amalengaho erisumba ebyala byiwe ati aswirayelyo inyakakakawa eriswirya engumi yiwe y’oku lundi luhande. Obuli ndambi ikibanika erihera ery’abakalengaho erigania e Roma nga likenditekwa eribya luba; nikwa oku ndambi eyo likalengekanibawako erihe ery’aba Turuki irikasira oku mutano w’ebulwa-lyuba, kutse omwami w’ebu Faransa, kutse na Papa iyuwene-wene, akakwa-busu busana n’erikanyirira ery’obukulu bw’omukama w’ekihugo, inyakalwa nayo; neryo omu musindo oyo, omukati-kati k’erikaka-kakania n’ehitsumbu-tsumbu hy’amahanga, mukyaleka erilungula emiramirye iryatunga akagala n’erigaliha. OO 197.2

Liriryo okw’igunzerera, abakama abakasondolawa na Papa mubabya ibabirireka eritaswanegena, bati imubanatoka erilwira haguma bakalwa n’abalunguli b’emiramirye. Endeko eyikala e Spires omu 1526 yabya iyabiriha buli ihanga ly’obwiranda obwoswire omu myatsi eyihambire oku enyikirirya erihika aho hasyabera endeko ey’abanene; nikwa emiryambo eyaleka ibahika okwitwamoeri yabere yite yalaba, omukama w’ekihugo mwabirikira endeko eyakabiri eryikala e Spires omu 1529 busana n’ekilubirirwa ky’erihinola emikolere eyikaganaya e kelezia. Abanya-mwami babya inib’erikuna erilwa n’emilungulire y’eriramia kyamatokekana; nikwa ebi byamataluka iyo Charles abya inyanayiteka-tekire erikolesya omuyali. OO 197.3

Ab’oku luhande lwa Papa mubayisyeta. Mubasa omu Ndeko eya Spires mu banene kutsibu, neryo bamakangania bulolerera obutsurumi bwabo oku bakalalirya b’erilungula emiramirye n’oku bosi ababya bakakwirabo obulige. Melankitoni mwabuga ati: “Twabiribya nye kandi twabiribya nzolo embere sy’ekihugo; nikwa Kristo akendilolya ameso wuwe wo ahisi inyatungerera oku bandu buwe abatemobwahi, neryo akenditeyabo.” — Biri omu Ibid., ekitabu ekya 13, ekihande ekya 5. Abanya-mwami ab’eryikirirya ly’obwiranda omu Kristo ababya omu Ndeko eyo mubatangwa nibya eririgira Engulu Mbuya erikangiriribwa n’aho bikere. Nikwa abandu b’e Spires babya bakwire enyota ey’Ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga, neryo, n’omu hanabya erikakiribwa eryo, ebigonye n’ebigonye by’abandu mubakukumabanira omw’iramya eryabya omu kyumba ky’erisabiramoeky’omusomboli w’abami ow’e Saxony. OO 198.1

Kino mukyaleka omuhito inyanguha eryasa. Omwatsi owakalwa oku kitumbi ky’obwami bw’ekihugo mwarangirira omu Ndeko eyo ati eritwamoeryakolawa likaha obwiranda bw’eriyitwiramo ng’oku lyabya lyalwiremoakatsumbu-tsumbu kanene, omukama w’ekihugo mwakanza ati lihwere aho. Ekikorwa eky’obutoki obutemwo-ka-bundu eki mukyaleka abakristo abakatulago oku bwiranda bw’emiramirye ibahitana. Omuguma wa kubo mwabuga ati: “Kristo kandi abiriwa omu byala bya Pirato.” Ab’oku luhande lw’e Roma mubatsuruma kutsibu. Omuhereri oyukala-kalire-mutima mwatwamoati: “Aba Turuki buwene kwilaba abakwami ba Luther; kusangwa ibo aba Turuki bakategaya ebiro by’eritsiriramo akalyo, nikwa abakwami ba Luther bakatwabyo. Twamabya ituli b’eriyisombolerya oku bibiri Amasako abuyirire wa Nyamuhanga n’ebihalyo sy’e kanisa esya kera, tukendigana Amasako Abuyirire.” Melankitoni mwabuga ati: “Obuli kiro tukabya tune omu luhindano, Faba akagusa eribwe lihya okwitwe abatuli b’Engulu Mbuya.” — Biri omu Ibid., ekitabu ekya 13, ekihande ekya 5. OO 198.2

Habya ihabirihiribwa ambu esyoenyikirirya sibyeho, n’amahanga awabya isi makatuliki mwatwamo erigania eryingirira ebitolerene omu bilayiro busana n’omundu. Luther eribya inyakinabandirweko eryamuhiribawakwo Endeko nene eya Worms, mwataligirwa eribya omu Ndeko eya Spires; nikwa obu abya akakola nabo n’abanya-mwami obu Nyamuhanga abya inyabirihangania erilwira omubiri wuwe omu ndambi ey’emibere eyikayitsutsa eryanguhirwa eyo mubosulya omwanya wuwe. Omukulu Fredric owa Saxony oyuwabya muteya wa Luther, abya inyamabirihola; nikwa Duke John, mugala wabo kandi oyuwasuba omu kitumbi kiwe, abya inyabiryangirira erilungula emiramirye n’ebitsange, kandi omugulu abya inyananzire obuholo, mwakangania amaka manene n’obutswiri-tswiri omu myatsi eyosi eyihambire okw’ikirirya. OO 198.3

Abanya-mwami mubasaba omw’ikaka bati amahanga awabya inyabiririga erilungula emiramirye alobere obutoki bw’e Roma. Abakalalirya b’erilungula emirasmirye ibo mubasaba obwiranda obu basangawa ibabirihereribwa enyuma. Mubataligana n’omwatsi batieRoma yitaswatabala oku mahanga awasangawa inyabiryangirira Ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga n’etseme nyingana n’eyi. OO 199.1
