EKIHANDE EKYA 14—ABASUBASUBANIA ABALINYUMA ABANYA BUNGEREZA

Luther abere anemusukulira e Biblia eyasangawa iyikumbire y’oku bandu b’ebu Gerimani, Tayindele Omulimu wa Nyamuhanga mwamukuna erikola omubiri iwan’omuguma omu Ingilanda. EBiblia ya Wycliffe yabya iyabiribindulwa erilusirirya oku yisakire omu lu Latini, eyabyamo ebisobire binene. Yasangawa isiyiri yatasakwa omu kyuma ekikasakanga ebitabu, n’emitahula ebisakire omu byala yabya yikagula buguli bunene neryo abateke n’abakulu-bakulu omu bulemi basa inibo bakatoka eritungasyo; kandi eryongerako, ekelezia iyihirire kuyo kw’olukako, iyikahika oku bandu bake kutsibu. Omu kirimo ekya AD 1516, ihakinasiya ekirimo muguma iyo Luther akendibamba ebisakango by’eriyinyalika byiwe, iyo Erasimasi abya inyabirisaka, erihilukya n’erigaba Endagane Enyihya y’omu mubuge w’olu Giriki (LuYonani) n’olu Latini. Litya endambi y’erimbere ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga mukyasakwa n’ekyuma omu mubuge ow’erimbere. Omu mubiri oyu ebihalyo nyinene esyabya omu syo Biblia esyatsuka erisakwa musyalungulwa, neryo muyasobolya ndeke kwilaba. Abanene ab’oku basomire muyabasondola okw’iminya okwenene kwo ndeke, kandi yamasyaswahira omubiri ow’eryuwania emiramirye mw’akagala kahya-kahya. Nikwa abandu aba buli-kiro mubabya ibakinakingirirwe oku kinywa kya Nyamuhanga kwo kutsibu. Taindale abya ini w’erigunzerera omubiri wa Wycliffe omw’ihererya e Biblia y’oku bandu b’ewabo.OO 245.1

Ng’omwiyi oyuwite omuhwa kandi oyuyitsingirire okw’isondekania okwenene, mwabana Engulu Mbuya erilwa oku ndagane Enyihya eya Erasimasi. Mwatula okwenene okw’abanamo butsir’isaga, inyakabuga ati emisingyi ey’esyongangirirya eyosi yitolere iyapimwa erilaba omu Masako. Okw’iyambatika ery’abandu ba Papa bati ekelezia niyo yaha e Biblia, kandi e kelezia nyisa niyo yitolere iyasobolya ebyo eBiblia yikaminyisaya, Taindale mwasubirya ati: “Munasi oyuwakangiriraya amasamba eribana esyonyama esy’eryirya? Inga, nina Nyamuhanga oyo oyukakangiriraya abana buwe abakwire enzala eribana tata wabo y’omu kinywa kiwe. N’omu anaby’atuhere Amasako, inywe mwabiritubisago; n’inywe mukahisaya abakakangirirayago, kandi mulyatoka, imukendihisya n’Aamasako ayo.” — Biri omu History of the Reformation of the Sixteet Century ekya D’Aubigne, ekitabu ekya 18, ekihande ekya 4.OO 245.2

Eritulago erya Taindale abandu bangyi mubanzalyo; abanene mubaliga okwenene. Nikwa abahereri b’e kelezia babya ibanayiteka-tekire, neryo abere akanalwaho bamalengaho eritsandya omubiri wuwe omw’isagisya abandu n’eribatulira ebitya-bitya. Emigulu eminene ibakatoka. Mwabuga omw’isweka ati: “Ni kihi ekitolere ikyakolwa kwehi? Ngabya namabiribiba omu kitsweka ekiguma, enzigu yikatsandaya aho nyiryalwa. Sinagatoka eribya inyine ehosi-hosi. Aha! Mbvwino abakristo ku balibya ibayiwitire oku Masako Abuyirire omu mubuge wabo, bangabere ibakatoka eryimanira ibibene-bene bakalwa n’abasomire. Ahate e Biblia kikalire erihanda abakangirirya b’ekinywa abatasomire e enyikirirya omu matedekero w’endata b’omu kwenene.” — Biri omu Ibid., ekitabu ekya 18, ekihande ekya 4.OO 246.1

Ekilubirirwa kihya mukyasa omu bulerngekania bwuwe. Mwabuga ati omu mubuge w’e Israeli nimoesyonyimbo syimbirawa omu hekalu ya Yehova; neryo Engulu Mbuya siyendisyabugwa omu mubuge w’ebungereza (Ingilanda) omu kati-kati ketu kwehi?... E kanisa kwehi yinatolere iyabya n’ekyakakala kike oku ndambi aho lyuba likasingirira oku mutwe kwilaba aho butuku bukatsutsangikira? Abakrisayo bakatekawa erisoma Endagane Enyihya omu mubuge wabo.” Abasomire kinene n’abakangirirya b’e kanisa mubabya n’eritendyikirirania. Ewrilaba omw’ikolesya e Biblia lisa nimoabandu bangahika oku kwenene. “Omundu muguma mulebe akagendera oku by’oyusomire kinene mulebe n’ogundi inyagendera oku by’olya…. Litya obuli muguma w’oku basakangyi akaganaya ogundi. Neryo ibwa twangatoka erigabula oyukakanaya okwenene y’oku yukakanaya amabehi?... Tuti?.... Kundu erilaba omu kinywa kya Nyamuhanga.” — Biri omu Ibid., ekitabu ekya 18, ekihande ekya 4.OO 246.2

Enyuma w’obutuku buke omukatuliki oyusomire oku lulengo olwa dokita, abere ahalikana omw’ikuba obuhaka nayo, mwabuga omw’ihahamuka ati: “Kyabya kyuwene okw’itwe eribya butsira Ebihano bya Nyamuhanga kwilaba eribya butsira aba Papa.” Taindale mwasubirya ati: “ngaganaya Papa n’Ebihano byiwe ebyosi; kandi Nyamuhanga amabya inyanalekireho engebe yage, hate halaba birimo minene ngendireka omulwana oyukakukuma ekigali eky’ende eyikalima inyaminya Amasako erilengyago.” — Biri omu Annals of te English Bible, olupapura olwa 19.OO 246.3

Ekilubirirwa ekyo abya inyabiribya nakyo, eky’eriha abandu bw’Amasako aw’Endagane Enyihya omu mubuge wabo, mwasikyakyo, neryo kwanabya atsukire omubiri oyo w’atya.. Inyabiritibitwako ewabo omw’endereribwa, mwagenda e Landani (London), neryoamabyayo mugulu mulebe inyanemukola emibiri yiwe butsir’isulusutibwa. Lriryo kandi erihitana ery’abandu ba Papa mulyamukaka eritibita. Ebungereza eyosi muyayitwa nga yabirikingwa okw’iye, neryo mwatwamoerisonderya obuwamo bw’omu bu Gerimani. Eno mwatsukirayo omubiri w’erisakanga Endagane Enyihya y’omu kyuma ekikasakanga n’erihulukya ebitabu. Omubiri oyo mwimanibwa esyongendo ibiri; nikwa banabya bamamukaga-kagania okw’isakangira omu muyi muguma, inyakagenda omu gundi muyi. Okw’igunzerera mwagenda e Worms, eyoLuther alwirira oku Ngulu mbuya embere w’endeko nene ebirimo mike eyilabireho. Omu muyi wa kera oyo mwabya abira b’engangirirya ey’emiramirye eyilungukere, neryoeyo iyoTaindalemwakolerayo omubiri wuwe butsir’isyaswasulusutibwa. Emitahula bigonye bisatu esy’Endagane Enyihya muyahwa omu butuku obute bwa hali, neryo omu mwaka mugumerera mubasyaswahulukya esindi.OO 246.4

N’erihatikana inene n’eriyiyinia mwalolya embere n’emibiri yiwe. N’omu kyanabya kiti abanya-butoki b’ebungereza mubahira emikangya y’oku bisokero by’engetsi, Ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga mubombomberyakyo e Landani erilaba omu syonzira nyinene neryo eyo kyamagabwa omu ihanga eryosi. Ab’oku luhande lwa Papa mubalengaho eriryatangirira okwenene, nikwa mubatala. Omu bishopu owa Durham endambi enguma mwagula oku mugulya w’ebitabu oyuwabya munywani wa Taindale kw’esyo Biblia esyosi esyo abya nasyo, inyakateka-teka erihisyasyo, akalengekania ati eki kikendikakirya omubiri oyo wo kutsibu. Nikwa esyombulo esyalwako musyagula eby’erikolesya eby’erisakamo e Biblia enyihya kandi eyitondire ndeke, eyangabere isiyitatokekana erisakangwa n’erigabwa kuhatalibyaho eki. Enyuma w’obutuku, omugulu Taindale ahiribawa omu muliki, mubabuga bati bakendimulwika amahula amena aw’abandu abamuwatikaya eribaba esyombulo esyo akolesaya akasakanga esyo Biblia syiwe. Mwasubamo ati Bishopu w’e Durham mwakola kinene kwilaba mundundi, kusangwa omw’ituha esyombulo nyinene busana n’ebitabu ebyabya bisakireho, mwamutokesya eriloly’embere butasaga.OO 247.1

Taindale mubamugotera omu byala eby’esyonzigu syiwe, Neryo okumugulu mulebe mwahiribwa omu muliki eribuga emikera minene. Mwagunzerera inyakaha obwimiri obw’eryikirirya liwe omw’itibwa busana nalyo; nikwa ebyamalwa ebyo ateka-teka byabiritokesya abandi balwi erilwa oluhi erilaba omu byasa by’ebirimo erihika oku mugulu wetu.OO 247.2

Latima mwabugira oku kituti ati e Biblia yitolere iyasomwa omu mubuge w’abandu. Mwabuga ati oyuwahiraho Amasako Abuyirire ni Nyamuhanga iyuwene-wene;” n’Amasako aya awite oku maka n’okw’ikota eryomusaki wawo. “Sihali mwami, sihali omwami/omukama, sihali mutwi w’esyombanza, kutse mulemi…nikwa abosi abo batolere ibolobera… Ekinywa kiwe kibuyirire.” “Situtolere erigenda mahengu-mahengu, liriryo muleke ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga kitukanganaye enzira: Situtolere erirendera ng’obutata-kulubetu kutse eribya butsir’isondya-sondya ebyo basonda-sondaya, liriryo tulendere ng’oku bangabere ibakalendera.” — Biri omu “First Sermon Preached Before King Edward VI” ekya Hug Latimer.OO 248.1

Banesi na Furiti, abira ba Taindale, mubahangana erilwira okwenene. Ridileyizi, bana Kuranima mubakwamaho. Abasondoli ab’omw’ilungula emiramirye ey’omu Bungereza bano babya balume abasomire, n’abangyi ba kubo babya basikibirwe busana n’eribya ab’olukanda n’obunya-enyikirirya omu bakatuliki. Ibo erilwa n’obunya Papa lyalwirira okw’iminya ebihalyo esy’omuyi mukulu ow’obwa-apa.” Eribya ibanabegerene n’eby’esyombita sy’e Babeli mubyaha obwimiri bwabo bakahlwa nago b’wobutoki buenene.OO 248.2

Latima mwabuga ati: ” Litya nganza eribulya ekibulyo ekite luberera. Ni Bishopu wahi kutse mulerembera wa Papa wahi oyukakola n’omuhwa kwilaba abosi abali omu Ingilanda?... Ngabalangira munategirye amatwe n’erihulikirira muti ngabahulireyo…. Ngendibabwira: ni Setani… Syali atalwa omu matwale wuwe; Wamanza wumubirikire, akilkala inyane omu buhimbano bwuwe;… akikala inyanemukola… Siwendisyatamweya inyanikere buyira, Ngakulayira…. Aho Setani ikere,… Aho neryo iwahiraho ehibani; iwalusyaho eBiblia, neryo iwaletaho esyongwangyi; Iwalusyahoekyakakala ky’Engulu Mbuya, iwhiraho ekyakakala ky’ehibani, inga, omw’itungyi lya-; … Iwalusyaho omusalaba wa Kristo, iwaletaho e purugatori;…Iwalusyaho eryambalya abali ndumbu, abera n’abalema, iwahangania eryambalya esyosumba n’erisolerania ebihulo n’eritona amabwe.; Iwahangana n’emikonga n’Ebihano by’abandu, iwakimya emikonga ya Nyamuhanga n’ekinywa kiwe kibuyirire kutsibu… Tsali abahereri betu kubalibya n’omuhwa w’eribiba embuto y’engangirirya embuya, nga Setani kw’akabiba e cockle n’e darnel!” — biri omu Ibid., Sermons of te Ploug.OO 248.3

Omusingyi omukulu ogu abalunguli b’emiramirye aba babya nago - wan’omuguma n’ogu aba waludensi babya nawgo, ogu Wycliffe, John Hussi, Luther, Zwingli n’abosi abayikundikanayakubo babya nago — abya ati Amasako Abuyirire awite obutoki obuteko kihengemire kandi nigo kilayiro eky’erigenderako eky’eryikirirya n’emikolere. Mubagana kombe-kombe bati aba papa, esyondeko sy’ekanisa, aba padiri, abami b’ekihugo, sy’itolerana lyabo omu bilayiro eritabala obulengekania bw’omundu obw’eriyitwiramoomu myatsi y’engangirirya/enyikirirya. EBiblianiyo yabya butoki bwabo, neryo erilaba omw’ikangirirya lyayo mubalenga oku syongangirirya esyosi n’eriyambatika lyasyo eryosi. Eryikirirya omu Nyamuhanga n’omu kinywa kiwe mulyahambirira abalume babuyirire bano bakahayo esyongebe syabo sy’oku muti ogu bakahanikawako ahisi syago ihanahembire omuliro. Ebirimi by’omuliro ibikisiya ibyalimya emirenge yabo, iyo Latima mwabuga n’amaka oku munyikiwe oyukahisibawa haguma nayo ati, “Wusikire omu lukogo lwa Nyamuhanga, munabwire tukendilamatya omu Inglanda mw’olukoleryo ng’olu, ng’oku ngayiketera, olutendisyalimibwa na kera.” — Biri omu Works of Hug Latima, ekitabu ekya 1, oluyani olwa 13.OO 249.1

Omu Sikotilanda embuto ey’okwenene eyabibawa na Kolumba, n’obu abya akakola nabo muyitaheribwa kombe-kombe. Ab’e Sikotilanda mubikala ibane n’obwiranda bwabo eribuga amagana w’ebirimo enyuma w’amakanisa w’e Ingilanda eriyisamulira e Roma. Liririyo omu kyasa ky’erikumi n’ibiri obunya Papa mubwahandwayo, kandi mubutatunga akagala omu lindi ihanga akalengire okubwabya nabwo e Sikotilanda. Sihali ehandi ahabya omuhindania owalengire owabya eyo. N’omu kyanabya kyabere kitya muhasa amasangya w’ekyakakala eritbola ekilulumane ekyabyaho n’eriha amaha aw’erikya ly’obutuku. Aba Loladi, babya bakalwa e Ingilanda ibane n’e Biblia n’esyongangirirya sya Wycliffe, mubakola kinene eritokesya abandu aribya ibanasi Engulu Mbuya, kandi obuli kyasa ky’emaka kyabya ikinawite abahi b’obwimiri n’abakitibawa busana na Kristo.OO 249.2

Erilungula Emitramirye erinene mulyasa n’ebisakango bya Luther, n’enyuma w’aho EndaganeEnyihya eya Taindale eyiri omu lungereza. Abanya-butoki isibasi ekiriho, abakwenda bano mubabya bakalaba omu hitwa n’ehisya, ibakahira omu ngebe nyihya mw’olukoleryo lw’okwenene olwabya iluli hakuhi eririma omu Sikotilanda, n’erisambangula omubiri ogu e Roma yasangawa iyabirikola eribuga amagana w’ebirimo ey’eriryatangirirago.OO 249.3

Neryo omusasi ow’abitibawa mwaha ekitungaekyo kyo akagala kanene. Abasondoli b’obunya Papa, babere bakabuka erilangira akabi akasamalire omubiri wabo, mubahira abaguma b’oku bakulu-bakulu kutsibu ab’omu bwami n’abagala b’e Sikotilanda abasikibirwe b’oku muti. Mubatsimba okituti olu abandu babya bakowirako ebinywa eby’abahi b’obwimiri abakahola bano omu kihugo ehosi, n’erisagisya abandu abatawite kilubirirwa ky’eriyihayo erikwa baleke eribya bakabuga nabi oku Roma.OO 249.4

Hamilitoni bana Wishati ababya banya-mwami, ibanawite abakwami banene mubahayoesyongebe syabo erihola oku muti ogu ahisi syago hahembire ekirimi kyomuliro. Nikwa oku kilundo ky’esyongwe esikaka kw’omuliro ekyo Wishati abyako, mumwalwa omundu oyu birirmi by’omuliro bite byangahunia, oyuwabya iniw’eriswirya erisayisya ly’oluholo ery’abandu ba Papa omu Sikotilanda omu lukogo lwa Nyamuhanga.OO 250.1

Iyo Yoane Nokisi abya inyabirilwa oku mikonga y’esyonyikirirya esy’e kelezia, erirya Ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga; n’erikangirirya lyaWishati lyabya ilyabirikangania eritwamoliwe ery’eriyikatula oku Roma n’eriyikundikaania oku balunguli b’emiramirye abakendereribawa.OO 250.2

Banyikiwe babere bamuhatikana eribya mutuli w’Engulu, mwagana olukwamirwa olwo inyanemutukumira, nikwa enyuma w’ebiro inyane iyowene n’erisulusuta omu bulengekania, mwaligago. Nikwa abere abiriliga omubiri oyo mwaloly’embere n’eritwamoeritemoerisububula kandi inyali n’onbutswiri-tswiri obutesuba enyuma omugulu abya inyane n’engebe. Omulunguli w’emiramirye ow’omutima w’okwenene ono syabya akasaga mundu. Emiriro eyabya yikahisya abakakwa busana na Kristo yabere yinemugulumira erimutimbako, muyabya iyikongera n’eryanguhya olukanda luwe erikanyiriryalo kutsibu. Omwiti inyasumbire embasa, ekigembe kyayo ikisamalire omutwe wuwe, mwimana oku magulu wuwe, inyanemugusa esyongumi esiritohire oku kuboko okw’okuli n’okw’okulembe akasambangula eriraamia ebisosano.OO 250.3

Babere bamuleta embere sy’omukama-kali w’e Sikotilanda, oyuwaholokaya olukanda olw’Abasondoli b’aba abahakani abanene, John Knox mwaha obwimiri obutetsinga-tsinga busana n’okwenene. Sy’abya w’erikinda omw’imubuya-buya; erimusayisya siryabya likamuhityako-ihunga. Omukama-kali mwamuhirako olubanza olw’erilwa n’erigania ekyo banene bakikiriraya. Omukama-kali oyo mmwabuga ati John Konx abirikangirirya abandu eryangirira engangirirya/enyikirirya eyo ekihugo likatanga, neryo busana n’ekyoabiritwa erilagira lya Nyamuhanga erikahana abandu abataberweko eryolobera abanya-mwami babo. Knox mwasubamoinyanasikire ati:OO 250.4

” Ng’oku engangirirya/enyikirirya eyihikire muyitimya amaka kutse obutoki erilwa oku banaya-mwami, nikwa erilwa oku Nyamuhanga oyukakota musa, neryo abataberweko kubatabohirwe batya erikwika engangirirya/enyikirirya yabo erikwamana n’erisonda ery’abanya-mwami. Kusangwa emigulu eminene abanya-mwami nibo balengire abandu abosi okw’itendiminya engangirirya/enyikirirya ya Nyamuhanga ey’okwenene. …Ab’olubuto olwa Abrahamu abosi abasanga ini bandu abali ahisi sy’obutabale bwa Farao mugulu muli, kubalibya b’e enyikirirya ya Farao, ngakusaba, mugole, omu kihugo mwangabere enyikirirya yahi? Kutse abandu bosi omu biro eby’abakwenda kubalibya ab’e enyikirirya ey’abalemi b’e Roma, oku kihugo kwangabere enyikirirya ya musindo wahi?...Neryo ibwa, mugole, nanginalangira ng’oku abandu abali ahisi sy’obulemi sibabohere oku enyikirirya ey’abanya-mwami babo n’omu kyanabya kiti bakalagirawa eryoloberabo.”OO 250.5

Maria neryo mwabuga ati: “Mukasobolaya ebyo amasako akabuga by’omu musindo muguma, nabo [abakangirirya b’ekikatuliki ky’e Roma] bakasobolayago omu gundi musindo; ingye ngendyikirirya wahi okw’inywe, kandi nindi wasyabya mutsweri?”OO 251.1

Omulunguli w’emiramirye oyo mwabuga ati: “Wukendyikirirya Nyamuhanga, oyuwakanaya ndeke-ndeke omu kinywa kiwe, neryo ebiri hali okw’ebyo ekinywa ekyo kikakangiriraya, siwase wikiriraye ono kutse olya. Ekinywa kya Nyamuhanga kikayisobolaya ndeke-ndeke; neryo hamabya erihatira omu kitsweka ekiguma, Omulimu abuyirire oyuteyirwanisaya, akasobolayakyo ndeke omu bindi bipindi, neryohaleke eribya eritika-tika mbwino okw’abo abakatwamoeryikala ibane butaminya busana n’epono.” — Biri omu The Collected Works of John Knox, ekya David Laing, ekitabuekya 2, olupapura olwa 281, na 284.OO 251.2

Eyo niyo myatsi y’okwenene eyo omukalalirya w’erilungula emiramirye oyutesaga, omugulu engebe yiwe yiri oku kalerema, eyo akaniraya omukama-kali.

Omugulu babya ibabirilwika esyongangirirya sy’e Roma esyonyinene mubabya ibakinalekireho esindi. Mubagana Papa eriyitwala nga niw’endata oku bosi, nikwa omu kitswa kiwe, omwami mwikalibwa omu kitumbi ng’omukulu w’e kanisa. Omu buhererya bw’e kanisa mumwabya imukine erihuma ineene ery’erilwa oku bubuya n’obwolo-bwolo obw’Engulu Mbuya. Omusingyi mukulu ow’obwiranda bw’e enyikirirya abya isyali ayitegereribwa.

Wesley mwagania butasububula, amabehi aw’abakangirirya abali antimonian neryo amakangania ati engangirirya erikakolya oku bu antimonian siyabya yikabasula ng’Amasako kw’akabuga. “Olukogo lwa Nyamuhanga olukaleta omulamo lwabirihika oku bandu bosi.” Ekĩ ni kibuya, kandi kĩkatsemesaya Nyamuhanga Omũlamya wetu, oyo wanzĩre abandu bosĩ balamĩbawe, nʼeriminya ndeke omwatsi wʼekwenene. Kusangwa hali Nyamuhanga muguma, nʼOmũsanganĩa muguma, oyũkasanganaya Nyamuhanga nʼabandu, omundu oyo ni Kristo Yesu, oyo wayiha busana nʼerĩtongolya abandu bosĩ. Neryo ekyo akola nĩ kĩmĩnyĩsyo oko mugulu atolere ngoko Nyamuhanga anzĩre abandu bosĩ ĩbalamĩbwa..” Tito 2:11; 1Timoteo 2:3-6. Omulimu wa Nyamuhanga akahiribawa busa oku buli mundu erimutokesya erimakirira esyonzira esy’omulamo. Ko litya Krsto “Ekyo kyabya kyakakala kyʼekwenene ekĩkahĩka omo kihugo, nʼerĩkolerya obuli mundu.” Yoane 1:9. Abandu bakataluka eribana omulamo erilaba omw’itwamolyabo erigana olusunzo lw’engebe.OO 261.3

Omw’isubamo oku ekyo abandu bakabuga bati oku luholo lwa Kristo emigambo y’Ebihano ikumi muyalusibwaho haguma n’Ebihano eby’emikonga, Wesley mwabuga ati: “Ebihanoebikategaya esyongeso n’eriyitwala ly’omundu ebiri omu bilayiro ikumi kandi ebyakaniribawa abaminyereri, mwatalusyabyoho. Sikyabya kilubirirwa ky’eryasa liwe erilusyaho akatsweka kosi-kosi ak’eki. Kino ky’ekilayiro ekite kyangatwibwa na hake, “ekikimana butatsinga-tsinga ng’omulangiri w’omu lubula…. Kinokyabyaho eritsuka oku nzuko y’ekihugo, ikisakirwe butsira oku bisayi by’amabwe; nikwa oku mitima y’abana b’abandu, omugulu balwa omu byala by’omuhangyi. Kandi ebinywa ebyanasakawa n’okuboko kwa Nyamuhanga n’omu ekibi kinahakire kubyo kw’ebyondo kutsibu, liriyo sibyangasangulwa iguma, omugulu tunasi ekibuya n’ekibi ku kineho. Obuli katswe k’ekilayiro eki kakatekawa eribya ikakayitsutsibawa abandu eryoloberako, kandi emigulu yosi; butsir’igendera oku mugulu kutse oku kitsweka, kutse emibere yahi yosi-yosi eyanginabinduka, liriryo ikakasegema oku mibere y’eribyaho lya Nyamuhanga n’emibere ya buhangiranwa obw’omundu, kandi n’obuhugu obu bawiteneko obutebinduka.OO 262.1

Wesley mwakangania Ebihano n’Engulu Mbuya ng’oku bikakola haguma. “Neryo hali obuhugu obukundikenie obwanginalangirwa, aho kati-kati k’Ebihano n’Engulu Mbuya. Oku luhande oluguma, Ebihano bikikala ibinemukokotya enzira busana n’Engulu Mbuya, kandi bikatuhabula eryangirirayo; oku lundi luhande, Engulu Mbuya yikikala iyinemutusondola ng’oku twangaberererya kundu ebyo Ebihano bikayitsutsa. Eky’erilangirirako, Ebihano bikatyuyitsurako eryanza Nyamuhanga, eryanza omwikalani wetu, eribya abolo, abayihombekire, kutse ababuyirire. Tukayowa tuti situligunza busana n’ebindu ebi; inga, tuti oku mundu eki sikiritokekana;’ nikwa tukalangira eriyilaga ati akendituha olwanzo, n’erituyiramo abayihombekire, abolo-bolo, kandi ababuyirire: tukahambiriraya oku ngulu eyi, oku mwatsi w’ebitsange oyu; kikatukolerawa erikwamana n’eryiykirirya lyetu; neryo obutunganene obw’Ebihano ibwabererera omw’itwe; erilaba omw’ikirirya eriri omu Kristo Yesu….OO 262.2

Wesley mwabuga ati, “Omu lulengo lw’endata kwilaba olw’esyonzigu esy’engulu ya Kristo, nimomuli abakatwira binyini-nyini eby’olubanza’ kandi ‘bakakanaya nabi oku bilayiro;’ Abakakangiriraya abandu eribuna (eritabura, eribohola, erikundikania eriyitsutswa erya) butsira kiguma kisa, minya niky’oku bikeke-bike kutse oku bikulu-bikulu, nikwa Ebihano ebyosi omw’iswirya liguma…. Ekikakukubalaya kwilaba ebyosi oku mibere yosi eyihambire oku mabehi aya, kiri kiti abo abakakola omwatsi oyo, kwenene bakikiriraya bati bakaha Kristo y’ olukengerwa omw’itererya Ebihano byiwe byo ahisi, kandi ati bakagalihaya omubiri wuwe omugulu bakatinda omusingyi w’erikangirirya liwe! Inga, bakamusikaya nga Yuda kw’akola omugulu abuga ati, ‘Wuhalambawe Mukama, neryo amamulyatsirira’ Neryo anginabuga kwenene oku buli muguma wa kubo ati, ‘Wukagotera Omugala w’Omundu omw’imulyatsirira kwehi?’ N’imugotera omw’imulyatsirira omugulu wukakanaya oku musasi, n’erilusyaho embitaa yiwe ey’obwammi; erireretya akatswe kosi ak’Ebihano byiwe, wuti wukakula-kulanaya engulu yiwe. Kwenene sihali mundu wangabala okw’itswer eri, oyukatulawo okw’ikirirya omu musindo wosi-wosi owahigula luhande omutahi wosi-wosi ow’obwowa kitengeleryo kutse omw’itandalwa. Oyukatulawo oku Kristo omu nzira ey’eri disannul kutse kutse eyikatsekaya omu muhanda wosi, ekike kwilaba ebyosi eby’Ebihano bya Nyamuhanga.”- Biri omu IbidOO 263.1

Okw’abo ababya bakabuga bati “erikangirirya ery’Engulu Mbuya likasubamo ebyosi ebyo Ebihano bikayitsutsa,” Wesley mwabasubamoati: “Eki tukaganirakyo iguma. Sikirisubamo ebyo Ebihano bikayitsutsa binyini-nyini, nabyo ni ebwiririra abandu bakanaminya ekibi, eribukya abo abakinayiretwo abali oku lukukulyo olw’e kulimu.” Omukwenda Paulo akabugago ati, “Omu bilayiro nimotukaminyira ekibi;” “Kandi erihika aho omundu akaminyira kw’ali mubihya, nimokwenene asyayowa inyawite obwaga obw’omusasi wa Kristo owakabuyira…. ‘Abalugirirene; ng’Omukama wetu iyowene-wene kw’akalangira, sihali n’obwaga bw’omutahwa, nikwa abo abali bakoni.’ Neryo nikya bukiru eriha abalugirirene b’omutawa, kutse n’abo abakirengekanayako ngabalugirirene. Wukatolera eritokesyabo eriminya batibalwere; bite bitya isibendikusima busana n’ekyo wulyakola. Ko litya nikya bukiru eriha Kristo y’okw’abo obu mutima wabo alugirirene, owate atatwika.” — Biri omu Ibid., eky’eryiga ekya 35.OO 264.1

Neryo omugulu Wesley abya akatula engulu y’olukogo lwa Nyamuhanga, nga Mukama wuwe, mwalengaho erihamya Ebihano, n’eriyirabyo muby’olukengerwa.” Mwagunzerera omu buyiketerwa omubiri owu Nyamuhanga amuha erikola, kandi ebyalwamoebyo aligirawa erilolako mubyabya by’olukengerwa.
