Enoka oyuwabya w’akalindirira erilwa okw’abo ababya bikere omu Edeni, oyuwalenderera oku kihugo na Nyamuhanga wuwe eribuga ebirimo magana asatu, mwaligirwa eritungerera eryasa ery’omutongolya inyane hali. Mwabuga ati, “Kandi Enoka oyo wabya wʼolulengo lwa Adamu, mwaminyerera busana nʼabandu aba ati, Lebaya, Omukama asyasa haguma nʼabamalaĩka babũyĩrĩre buwe maelfu nʼamaelfu, eritswera abosĩ, nʼerĩsĩnga abosĩ abatekenga Nyamuhanga busana nʼemĩbĩrĩ yabo eyitekenga Nyamuhanga, eyo bakahalayamo, kandi asyasĩnga abakola-nabi abo abatekenga Nyamuhanga busana nʼemyatsi yosĩ eyĩkalĩre eyo babĩrĩbũga omwʼimunegulira”.Yuda 14,15. Omundu wa Nyamuhanga owa keraiyo Yobu omu kiro eky’eryagalwamoliwe mwabuga isyaliko itsinga-tsinga ati: “…Nyinasi nyiti omutongolya wage aliho, n’okonduli asyahangana oko kihugo:…nina ngye nasyamu butsira ogundi….” Yobu 19: 25-27.OO 299.1

Eryasa lya Kristo eriretaho obutabale obw’obutunganene lyabirireka abasakangyi babuyirire ibakania binene. Abasakangyi b’ebitondomo n’abaminyereri ab’omu Biblia babirikania kukyo omu binywa ebisihirire kutsibu. Omusakangyi w’Esyonyimbo mwimba oku butoki n’olukengerwa olw’Omwami w’e Israeli ati: “Nyamuhanga akakoleraya erilua e Sioni, e Sioni owabirihikana omo bubuya. Nyamuhanga wetu akasa, sialibya bukutu; Omuliro akahisaya embere syiwe, Erihunga likalire likamutimbako. Akabirikira olubula n’kihugo ng’abalangiri, Balangire akatswera abandu buwe.” Esyonyimbo 50:2-4. “Ekihugo n’ekyanya, mutseme! Uwe ngetsi, n’esyonyama syosi omwisi syawe muhuhe! Inywe malima n’ebyosi ebiri mugo mutseme! Neryo emiti eyiri omomusitu yasyimba busana n’obutseme embere sy’Omwami Mukulu. Kusangwa akahika eritabalira ekihugo Omo libanza litunganene, kandi butsira erisombola.” Esyonyimbo 96: 11-13.OO 300.1

Omuminyereri Isaya mwabuga ati: “Abaholi benyu basyabyaho. Ebinda byabo byasyabutuka. Mubuke, mugoromoke inywe mugotsere omo lututu, kusangwa ekimi kyawe kiri ng’ekimi ky’omwitsange, n’ekitaka kyasyahulukya emirimu eyabirigenda. Asyaherya oluholo busana na kera na kera. Omukama Omwami Mukulu asyasangula emisonia yosi oko musu gosi, kandi asyalusya erihemuka ly’abandu buwe omo kihugo kyosi. Kusangwa Omwami Mukulu abiribugakyo. N’oko kiro ekyo kyasyabuwa, kiti, Lebaya, Oyu yon a Nyamuhanga wetu. Oyo twalinda, naye atoke eritulamya. Oyu y’ona Mwami Mukulu; oyo twabiririnda.Tutsange tutseme omo mulamo wuwe.” Isaya 26: 19; 25:8, 9.OO 300.2

Na Habakuki inyahirire amalengekania wuwe w’oku syonzoli syiwe sibuyiryire ko kutsibu, mwatungerera eributuka liwe. “Nyamuhanga akalwa e Temani, N’ Oyubuyirire akalwa oko kitwa ky’e Parani. Ulinde! Olukengerwa luwe lukaswika ekyanya. N’ekihugo kikusula n’eripipa liwe. N’erikangabagasnia liwe liri ng’ekyakakala ky’ruba. Awite amasalali awakahenaya omo byala biwe; Aho hohabisire obutoki buwe” “Mwahangana mwatitimania e kihugo; Mwasamalira, mwasisirya ebihanda; Ega, ebitwa by’erikota mobyatulangika; N’ehitwa hya kera muhyunama ahisi. Esyonzira siwe ni sy’erikota. Omwami Mukulu mwahitana busana n’esyonyusi kwehi? Kutse erihitana lyawe lyabya lyabya oko syo-nyusi kwehi? Kutse eriagalirwa lyawe oko ngetsi kwehi? Kyaleka iwagenda oko syosabayiri syawe kwehi? N’oko syogali syawe sy’omulamo kwehi? Mowalyatanga ebihanda omw’ihitana. Muwaluhuka busana n’mulamo w’abandu bawe. Busana n’mulamo w’omuhakabibwa wawe; muwahutalya omutwe w’ekitunga ky’omundu mubi, Erimutula eritsuka omo kihinga erihika oko bikya.” Habakuki 3:3, 4, 6, 8, 10,11,13.OO 300.3

Omulamia abere abya hakuhi n’erilusibwa oku biga buwe, mwahumulikaaniabo omu bulige bwabo inyanemusikyabo ati akendisyasubula: “Sĩmũhanga-hangaye emitima yenyũ; mwĩkĩrĩraye Nyamuhanga, nage mũnyĩkĩrĩraye. Omo nyũmba ya Tata muli byumba bingi byʼerĩĩkalamo. Ngayakokotaya aho wenyũ, kumbe si kwenene, kumbe nabiribabwira. Kandi namayakokotya aho wenyũ, nasyaswasa, nʼeribatwala ewage; neryo imwatoka eribya aho nyiri”.Yoane 14: 1-3. “Nĩkwa omugulu Omugala wʼomundu asyasa omo lukengerwa luwe, nʼabamalaĩka bosĩ haguma naye, asyĩkala oko kĩtũmbĩ kiwe kyʼobwami kyʼolukengerwa. Nʼebihanda byosĩ byasyahĩndanĩbwa embere siwe; kandi asyasololabo ngʼomũlĩsya kwʼakasolola esyombũlĩ omo mbene-hene.” Matayo 25: 31,32.OO 301.1

Abalaika abasigala ibane oku kitwa ky’Emizaituni Yesu inyamabirihetukira endata mubasubira omu biga buwe mw’eriyilaganisya liwe bati: “bati, Ĩnywe balume bʼeGalĩlaya, busana nakĩ mukahangana aho mukasamalira omo kyanya kwehĩ? Yesu oyukabitwalwa elubula akalũa ũkwʼĩnywe, asyaswasa atya ngoko mukabimusamalira akaya elubula.” Emibiri y’Abwenda 1:11. N’omukwenda Paulo akakania omw’ikunwa Omulimu Abuyirire, mwah’obwimiri ati: ” Nĩkwa hasyabya omulenge munene wʼeribirikira, nʼomulenge, wʼomũlaĩka mukulu, nʼomulenge wʼengubi ya Nyamuhanga. NʼOmukama asyandagala akalũa elubula; nʼabahola ĩbabĩrĩkĩrĩrya Kristo basyatsũka erĩlũbũka.” 1 Abanya Tesalonika 4:16. Omuminyereri ow’e Patimo akabuga ati: “Mũlebaye! Akasa omo bĩtũ! Nʼobuli rĩso nʼasyamulangira, nʼabamutsimita nibya. Nʼebihanda byosĩ bya muna-kihugo byasyamulirira. Inga, bibye bitya! Amina..” Eribisulirwa 1:7.OO 301.2

Eryasa liwe likendisyabyako ebitsumbi ebya ” Naye atolere erĩkokĩbwa elubula erĩhĩka oko mugulu wʼerisuba lyʼemyatsi yosĩ eyo Nyamuhanga ahula kera omo buno bwʼabamĩnyererĩ buwe ababũyĩrĩre.” Emibiri Yabakwenda 3:21 Neryo eritabala ly’ekibi eryabiribyaho butuku buli likendisyatwibwa; “amami w’ekihugo kino” akendisyabya ” Neryo omũlaĩka wʼakalinda mwabuha engubi yiwe, neryo emirenge minene-minene omo lubula moyabũga iti, Obwami bwʼekihugo bwabiribya bwami bwʼomukama wetu, nʼobwa Kristo wuwe, naye asyatabala kera na kera!” Eribisulirwa 11:15. “Neryo olukengerwa lw’Omwami Mukulu lwasyabisulwa, n’emibiri yosi yasyalangiralo haguma.” “… Omukama Omwami Mukulu asyahangania eritunganene n’eripipa embere sy’ebihanda byosi”. “Oko kiro ekyo, Omwami Mukulu w’emilondo yo wasyabya kakira k’olukengerwa, n’akakira k’obubuya, oko bandu buwe abasigalira.” Isaya 40:5; 61:11; 28:5.OO 301.3

Endambi eyo obwami obw’obuholo kandi obulindirirwe mugulu murahakuti nimobukendisyahiribwaho ahisi sy’olubula olwosi. “Kwenene Omwami Mukulu asyakirania e Sioni.Abirisikya emilala yiwe yosi. Kandi nasyayira embwarara yiwe nga Edeni, n’olukurutsu luwe ng’eririma ly’Omwami Mukulu. Obutseme n’eritsanga byasyabanika mugo, eriha ewasingya, n’omulenge w’olwimbo.” “Yasyalasya omusanga Munene, n’eritsanga n’obutseme. Yasyahabwa obubuya bw’e Lebanoni, yasyahabwa obubuya bw’e Karameli n’e Saroni. Basyalangira olukengerwa lw’Omwami Mukulu, erikangabasania lya Nyamuhanga wetu.” “Siwendisyswahulwa mo musiwa, kutse ekihugo kyawe sikyendisyahulwa mo mulala. Nikwa wasyahulwa mo mutsemerwa wage, n’ekihugo kyawe mo Beula ahikibwe. Kusangwa Omwami Mukulu akakutsemera, n’ekihugo kyawe kyasyamuherukirako.” “Kusangwa ng’okomulwana akaherukaya omumbesa, litya abagala bawe kubasyakuhikya batya. Kandi ng’oko iba w’omuheruki akatsemera omuheruki, Nyamuhanga kwasyakutsemera atya.” Isaya 51: 3; 35:2; 62:4,5.OO 302.1

Eryasa ly’Omwami Mukulu lyabiribya maha aw’abakwami buwe ab’okwenene emigulu eyosi. Eriyilaganisya ery’Omulamia oku kitwa eky’Emizaituni, ati akendisyasubula, mulyaleka abiga buwe ibabya n’erisika busana n’engebe eyikayasa, lyamosulya emitima yabo mw’ebitsange n’amaha ebyo obulige bute bwangalimya n’omu byanabya ebirengo erikehya. Omu kati-kati k’eryagalwa n’eryendererya, “eryasa erya Nyamuhanga omukulu kandi Omulamia wetu Yesu Kristo” niryo lyabya “maha aw’emiyisa.” Omugulu abakristo aba Tesalonika bosula n’obulige bakata abanze babo, obu babya bawitirmw’amaha bati bakendisyalangira eryasa ly’Omwami Mukulu, iyo Paulo , omukangirirya wabo, mwakanganiabo okw’ilubuka, erikendisyabyaho okw’asa ly’Omwami Mukulu.

Omo kihugo hasyabya amalĩge omo bihanda, ibakubaha erihuha lyʼengetsi nʼebisunda byayo.” Luka 21:25. “Nĩkwa oko biro ebyo, enyũma wʼomugulu wʼobuligo oyo, eryuba lyasyabya mwĩrĩmya, nʼomukera siendisyaswakola, nʼesyongũnũnũ syasyatogonga erĩlũa elubula, nʼebyʼobũtokĩ obuli omo kyanya bwasyatenga-tenganĩbwa. Neryo basyalangira Omugala wʼomundu akasa omo bĩtũ, nʼobũtokĩ bunene, nʼolukengerwa.” Mariko 13:24-26. Omusakangyi w’ekitabu ky’Eribisulirwa akatonda ekiminyikalo eky’erimbere ekikendisyabya eryasa engendo eyakabiri yikayabya kyo atya: “Mohabya omũsĩkĩ munene, nʼeryuba molyakĩna ngʼolukimba lʼobweya olũkĩnĩre, nʼomukera gosĩ mwahinduka erisosa ngʼomusasi.” Eribisulirwa 6:12.OO 304.1
