EKIHANDE EKYA 20—ERIBUKA INENE OMO BW’IKIRIRYA

Eribuka mw’omulimu w’e enyikirirya omw’itulago ng’oku Kristo amayasa likakanibawako omu buminyereri obwa malaika ow’erimbere owa Eribisulirwa 14. Omulaika akalangirawa inyanemuguluka ‘omu kati-kati k’ekyanya, inyanawite engulu mbuya ey’erikota eritulayo okw’abo abikere oku kihugo, n’oku buli kihanda, na buli kitunga n’oku buli mubuge w’abandu, n’oku bandu.” “N’omulenge munene,” akalalaganaya obukwenda ati: ” Kandi monalangira ogundi mũlaĩka akaguluka endata omo kyanya, iniawite Engulu Yowene yʼerikota erĩkangĩrĩryayo oko bandu abĩkere omo kihugo, oko buli kĩtũnga kyʼabandu, nʼobuli kihanda, nʼobuli mũbũge, nʼoko bandu. Neryo mwabũga nʼomulenge munene ati, Mubahe Nyamuhanga, kandi mumupipe! Kusangwa endambĩ yʼeritswera liwe yamahĩka. Kandi mũramaye Nyamuhanga oyo wahangika olubula, nʼekihugo, nʼengetsi nʼesĩsoko syʼamagetsi!” Eribisulirwa 14:6,7.OO 355.1

Eribuga ati omulaika akakanibawaako eribya iniyo oyukatulago erikunga eri nirya mubongo. Erilaba omw’ibya nzongole, omu lukengerwa, n’omu butoki bw’omukwenda omunya-lubula, mukyatsemesya obunya-lubula erikangania omuhanda ow’erihamibwa ery’omubiri owakendikolwa obukwenda n’obutoki n’olukengerwa ebikendisyabyaho obukwenda obwo bukahebwa. Kandi n’eriguluka ly’omulaika “omu kati-kati k’ekyanya,” ‘omulenge munene ogu erikunga eryo likabugirawamo, kandi n’erilalaganibwa lyago okw’abo abikere oku kihugo,”-oku buli kihanda, n’oku buli kitunga ky’abandu, n’oku buli mubuge, n’oku bandu,” — bikaha obulangiri biti omubiri oyo niw’erikolwa luba-luba kandi niw’erihika oku kihugo ekyosi.OO 355.2

Obukwenda ibwibwene-bwene bukakanganaya endambi aho omukukyo oyo akendisyaberaho. Bukakanibawako eribya ni kitsweka ekya “Engulu Mbuya ey’erikota;” kandi bukaranga erikyungulwa ery’eritwa esyombanza. Obukwenda obw’erilamibwa bwabiritulwa omu migulu eyosi; nikwa obukwenda obu ni kitswe eky’Engulu Mbuya ekikendisyatulwa omu biro by’enduli bisa, kusangwa omu butuku obwo busa nimokikendisyabya kwenene kiti endambi ey’eritsweramoesyombanza yabirihika. Emyatsi ey’obuminyereri obwo yikakanganaya erikwama-kwamana ery’ebindu ebikakolaya okw’ikyungukala ery’eritwa esyombanza. Kino kikaleka ekitabu ekya Danieli ikyabya kya kwenene. Nikwa ekitsweka eky’obuminyereri bwuwe ekihambire oku biro by’enduli, mubabwira Danieli erikumbakyo n’erihirakukyo kw’ekiboohi erihika “oku mugulu w’e nduli.” Tute twahika oku ndambi eyo obukwenda obuhambire okw’itwa esyombanza sibwangalalaganibwa, ibuhambire okw’ibererera ery’emyatsi ey’obuminyereri obu. Nikwa oku ndambi y’omuhindo, omuminyereri oyo ati, “...Abandu bangi basyalaba eyi neyi, n’eriminya lyasyakanyirira.” Danieli 12:4.OO 355.3

Omukwenda Paulo mwakunga e kanisa eritendirindirira eryasa lya Kristo omu biro byiwe. Akabuga ati: “Simuleke mundu akabatebya omo mwatsi nʼomuguma. Kusangwa Ekiro ekyo sikyendisyasa eripona nʼerisuba enyũma bite byahĩka, nʼomubi Oyo ate abutuka, oyo wasyaherĩbwa.”2 Abanya Tesalonika 2:3. Erihika aho hakendisyabera erisububula inene erya kimweyo, n’erilaba omululu muli ow’obutuku ow’eritabala erya “omundu omubi’ oyo, nimotukendisyalindirira eryasa ery’Omwami Mukulu. “Omundu omubi oyo,” oyukahulawa kandi mo“eky’embita eky’erikondomera oku bubi,” “omugala ow’erihera,” “kandi “omubi tsutsutsu oyo” bw’obunya Papa, obuminyereri ng’oku bwasangawa ibwabiritulago, obwabya inibweriyikalya oku kitumbi ky’obukulu eribuga ebirimo 1260. Mw’omu butuku obwo aho obukwenda obw’eryasa lya Kristo butolere ibwalalaganibwa.OO 356.1

Sihali hatabya bukwenda ng’obu obwaheberwe omu birimo ey’enyuma. Ng’oku twabirilangira, iyo Paulo mwatatulabwo; mwakangania abagala babo eryasa ery’Omwami Mukulu nganiry’obutuku obw’embere obuli hali kutsibu. Abalunguli b’emiramirye mubatatulabwo. Iyo Martin Luther mwahira eritswera ery’esyombanza ly’oku birimo nga magana asatu embere erilwa aho mugulu wuwe. Nikwa erilwa omu mwaka owa 1798, ekitabu ekya Danieli kyabiriboholwa, amenge aw’obuminyereri abirikanyirira, kandi abanene babirilalagania obukwenda obusongire obw’eritwa esyombanza eribya iriri hakuhi.OO 356.2

Erilungula emiramirye erikulu ery’ekyasa ky’ebirimo ekya ikumi n’endatu omukukyo ow’erilalagania eryasa lya Yesu mwabanika omu mahanga manene awalimoobu Kristo oku ndambi ngumerera. Omu Bulaya n’omu Amerika ehosi abalume abawite eryikirirya kandi abakasaba kutsibu mubasondolwa okw’isoma emyatsi y’obuminyereri, neryo, bakatolererya amasako asondwerwe Mulimu Abuyirire, mubalangira obulangiri obukagunza buti omuhindo ow’ebindu ebyosi ali hakuhi kutsibu. Omu bipindi by’ekihugo mbiriri-mbiriri mwabya ehitunga-hitunga ehy’abakristo, erilaba omw’isoma Amasako lisa, ababya bahikire okw’ikirirya bati eryasa ly’Omulamia liri hakuhi.OO 357.1

Omu mwaka owa 1821, ebirimo isatu yilabire Miller ahikire okw’ikumbula obuminyhereri obukakanganaya oku ndambi y’eritsweramoesyombanza, Dokita Yozefu Wolfu, “omutuli w’e ngulu oku kihugo” mwatsuka erilalagania eryasa erya luba ery’Omulaamia. Iyo Wolfu abutirawa e Bugerimani, ababuti buwe babya baYuda, tata wuwe ini mukangirirya (rabi) ow’ekiyudaya. Abere akine mulere kutsibu mwaliga ati e denyikirirya y’ekikristo niya kwenene. Ng’omundu oyuwabya awite obulengekania obukakola kandi obukabuliriraya, asangawa ini mundu oyukahulikirira kutsibu emikania eyabya yikabya omu buhimbano obwa tata wuwe Abaebrania abamakirire ekisomo obuli kiro omugulu babya bakahindana eritondogola ebyo abandu abo bawitiremw’amaha n’eriganiryako, olukengerwa olw’eryasa lya Masia, n’erisubya buhya erya Israeli. Ekiro kiguma abere akowa Yesu owa e Nazareti akahulwa, omulwana oyo mwabulirirya oyo nga nindi Mubamusubamo bati “Ni muyudaya oyuwabya awite olusunzo lunene kutsibu kwilaba abandi, nikwa kusangwa mwayambatika eribya iniyo Masia, ekitunga ekikatwa esyombanza eky’abaYuda mubamutwira ow’eryitibwa.” Oyukabuliriraya oyo mwasubira amabulya ati: “Busana naki e Yerusalema muyatindwa, kandi busana naki tuli omu bunyewa kwehi?” Tata wuwe mwasubamo ati: Tsali, tsali!” kusangwa abaYuda mubatsinda abaminyereri” Neryo-neryo omwana oyo mwatunga ekirengekanio ati: Kwamuhwa Yesu nayo abya muminyereri, n’abaYuda mubamwita isyawite kibi ekyo abya akolire.” — Biri omu Travels and the Dangers of te Rev. Joseph Wolf, ekitabu ekya 1, oluyani olwa 6. Amalengekania aya mwamukanyamokutsibu, neryo n’omu banabya ibakamutanga eryingira omu kanisa ey’abakristo, emigulu eminene inyakanakengemereraya eyihya y’ekanisa eriyahulikirira eritulago lyabo.OO 357.2

Abere ahikya ebirimo irinda misa mwayiheka embere sy’omwikalani oyuwabya mukristo ng’oku e Israeli yikayakinda omugulu owakayasa Masia akasa, neryo omusyakulu oyo amabuga nayo omu bwolo-bwolo ati: “Tahi mulwana, ngendikubwira Masia ow’okwenene ng’abya ini wahi: abya ini Yesu ow’e Nazareti, ... oyu abo sukulu wenyu bita oku musalaba, ng’oku banita abaminyereri aba kera. Ugende eka wuyasome ekihande ekya makumi atano na bisatu omu Isaya, nawuukendiminya kwenene ng’oku Yesu Kristo ni Mugala wa Nyamuhanga.” — Biri omu Ibid., ekitabu ekya 1, oluyani olwa 7. Oku ndambi eyo mwalangira okwenene okuli mugo. Mwagenda eka amayasoma ekyasakirwe, mwasweka akalangira ng’oku kyabya kyabererere kundu omu Yesu ow’e Nazareti. Ebinywa eby’abakristo mbwino nibya kwenene? Omulwana oyo mwabulya tata wuwe amukumbulire obuminyereri obwo, nikwa tata wuwe mwamuhuna ekyabya kyalekire inyasaga erisyaswabulya oku mwatsi oyo.

Eriminya eryabya akaronda mulyamukakiribwako omugulu abya inyane omu buhimbano obw’ekiyudaya obw’ewabo; nikwa abere inyanawite ebirimo ikumi na muguma y’obukulu misa, mwalwa omu nyumba ya tata wuwe amagenda omu kihugo eriyayibanira ekisomo, eriyayitwiramo engangirirya/enyikirirya yiwe n’omubiri ogu akendisyakola omu ngebe yiwe. Habwa obutuku bulebe mwabana obuhimbano omwabya abanya luganda buwe, nikwa obutuku bute bwa hali mubamuhigita bati amabya mundu oyulwire oku nzira y’engangirirya/enyikirirya, neryo inyane iyuwene kandi isyawite na kinoha eky’esyombulo kyosi, mukyamukaka erigenda omu bandu ab’ehali. Mwagenda erilwa oku kibuti erihika oku kindi, inyakasoma n’omuhwa kandi inyakayibesayaho omw’ikangirirya oluhiburaniya.

Omugulu ogu Wolfu aligiramo okwenene kungaho-ngaho okw’eryasa lya Yesu engendo y’erimbere, ng’omwana w’obulige, kandi oyubegere erisusumana,” mwalangira ati emyatsi y’obuminyereri eyo yikaleka ihabya erilangira eryasa liwe engendo eyakabiri n’obutoki kandi n’olukengerwa lyo ndeke.

Mwabuga ati: “Yesu ow’e Nazareti, oyuli Masia ow’okwenene, oyu ebyala byiwe n’ebisandu byiwe byatsimitawa, oyuwaletawa ng’embuli eyikayakerawa, oyuwabya omulume ow’amalige n’oyubegere amalige, oyuwasa engendo ey’erimbere enyuma w’omutso w’obwami erilusibwa oku Yuda, n’obutoki bw’obulemi bwamalusibwa omu kati-kati k’ebisandu byiwe; akendisyasa engendo eyakabiri oku bitu by’ekyanya, kandi inyane n’engubi ey’omulaika omukulu” (biri omu kitabu ekya Joseph Wolf, ekya Researches and Missionary Labour, oluyni olwa 62) “kandi akendisyimana oku kitwa ekya Emizaituni; kandi n’obutabale obwo, obwahebawa Adamu erimbere obw’eritabala oku bihangikwa ebyosi, kandi obu atalaya (Enzuko 1:26; 3:17), bukendisyahebwa iyo Yesu.
