Emibindulire ey’Amasako eyiriho litya muyamuletera erikalirirwa eryabya iryabanikire irimuhingameneko; nikwa oku lunddi luhande enyikirirya yiwe enyihya, abere anemusegerya e Biblia yo luhande, muyitamuha kindu kyosi ekibuya kwilaba e Biblia, neryo mwikala isyalitanihwa. Nikwa mwikala inyane n’amalengekania aya eribuga ebirimo ng’ikumi n’ibiri. Nikwa oku birimo makumi asatu n’eyini, Omulimu abuyirire mwamukangania ng’oku ni mubihya. Mwabana omw’ikirirya liwe eryo asangawa inyane nalyo isimuli ekyangamuletera etseme eyilabire okw’imukollya okw’isinda. Engebe y’embere yabya mwirimya kandi iyilulumene okw’iyo. Abere akakania oku ngebe yiwe ng’oku yabya, obwo inyabiribinduka mwabuga ati: OO 318.1

“Eritinda kyabya kirengekanio ekikita buba, kandi isihali kindu wangakangania ng’ebyo wakolire erilusyaho eritinda. Olubula lwabya ng’emitahimbwa endata oku mutwe wage, kandi n’ekitaka kyabya ng’ekyuma ahisi sy’ebisando byage. Erikota kyabya inikihi, kwehi? Kandi oluholo-busana naki nalwo?

Mwabya omu mibere eyi eribuga emikera mirebe. Akabuga ati: “Neryo, neryo emibere y’Omulamia muyayibandika oku bulengekania bwage. Mukyabanika okw’ingye kiti hanginabya ihane omundu oyuli mubuya kandi ow’olukeri oyuwabya alihirire ebibi byetu, neryo amatutsuna okw’isyasuyirwa busana n’ekibi.

Iyo Miller mwakangania eryikirirya liwe bulolerera omu enyikirirya eyo asangawa inyakagaya. Nikwa obu abya akasiba nabo abate bikirirya mubaleta esyombaka syiwe esyosi esyo abya akaha akalwa n’Amasako awasondwerwe obunya-lubula. Oku ndambi eyo syabya ayiteka-tekire erisuba mubo; nikwa mwabuga ati e Biblia yamabya iyisondwerwe Nyamuhanga, yikatekawa eribya isiyiribinduka; kandi ati yambabya iyahebawa busana n’erihabula omundu, yikatekawa eribya iyisakire oku lulengo olu anginayitegererya. Mwatwamoeriyisomera Amasako, n’erilangira kwenene ebikayitwa ngabikalwa omu Biblia nga sibyanga-sanganibwa. OO 319.3

Inyakalengaho erilusyaho amalengekania awahengemire awosi owu asangawa inyawite, n’erisegerya ebyo bandu babya bakakania nabi oku Biblia, mwakubungula omulondo erilengekago n’ogundi mulondo inyakakolesaya ebyo bakahereraya ahisi n’erisobolya ly’ebinywa. Mwasoma ekisomo kiwe omu muhanda owatondekenie; mwatsuka-tsukana n’ekitabu ekya Enzuko, kandi inyakasoma mulondo-oku-mulondo, erilangira ati akayitegereraya omulondomulebe inyakasoma ebipindi binene ebikundikenie kugo anatoka eriyitegererya ebyosi haguma ekyo bikaminyisaya imwalolya embere. Anabya amabana ekindu kyosi-kyosi ekyo ateyitegereraya, abya mutse wuwe erirengekago n’eyindi milondo eyihambire oku kindu ekyo. Inyakalangira ati obuli kinywa akayitegererayakyo erikwamana n’omwatsi omukulu ogu mulondo ogu kirimo akakanayako, neryo ekirengekanio kiwe oku kinywa ekyo kyamabya kyamabasula na buli kitsweka eky’oku mwatsi oyo, neryo isikyenditaswabya ekikalire. Obwo neryo anabya amasanga ekitsweka ekikalire eriyitegererya inyakabana erikumbulakyo ly’omu kandi kapindi ak’Amasako. Abere akaloly’embere erisoma Amasako inyane n’emisabe busana n’erikanganibwa ekyakakala eky’obunya-lubula, ekyo ekyasangawa isyaliyitegererya ikikaminyikala ndeke. Mwabana okwenene okw’ebinywa by’omusakangyi w’Esyonyimbo kuti: “Erikumbula ly’erikangirirya lyawe rikaleta ekyakakala, Kandi rikaleta amenge busana n’abatasi ki.” Esyonyimbo 19:130. OO 320.1

Mwalangira ati oku ndambi eyo obuminyisyo ng’oku bwabya ibwabiribererera, mubwabererera ng’oku bune; ati ebisosekanio ebyosi, emikya eyosi n’ebyosi ebyakolesibawa eriminyisya bindu birebe, n’ebindi mubyabya ibyabirisoborerwa aho bine, kutse ebinywa ebyo bikolesibirwemo ibikasobolibawako omu wandi masako, neryo bakasobolayabyo omu musindo oyo, ibikayitegereribawa ng’oku bine. Akabuga ati: “Munabana erinihwanyiti e Biblia ni mikolere ey’okwenene okubiswirwe, okuheberwe ndeke-ndeke kandi omu musindo mwolo eriyitegererya oku mundu oyukakoba-koba n’omu anginabya ini mukiru, isyangasoberya muyo.” — Biri omu Bliss, oluyani olwa 70. Obuli ikundo ery’obuhulula obw’okwenene mulyaleka erikola liwe iritakwa busa, akatolererya akalikiriki k’obuminyereri ntambu-oku-ntambu. Abalaika ab’e lubula babya bakasondola obulengekania bwuwe n’erisukula Amasako okw’iyitegererya liwe. OO 320.2

Akatungerera omusindo ogu Amasako aberereramo omu biro eby’enyuma ng’enzira y’erikolesya akalangira ebikine embere ng’oku byasyabererera, mwalwaho inyaminya ndeke ati ekyo abandu abanene bakabuga eky’eritabala lya Kristo omu mulimu — bati akendisyatabala okukihugo eribuga ebirimo kigonye kiguma ekihugo kite kyahwaho — mwalangira ati sikiri omu kinywa kya Nyamuhanga. Engangirirya eyi, eyikakanganaya oku birimo kigonye kiguma ey’obutunganene n’obuholo Omwami Mukukulu atali asa banamulangire, yikasegeraya eby’erisagisya ebikendisyabya oku kiro ky’Omwami Mukulu byo hali. Nikwa, n’omu kyanabya kiti engangirirya eyo yikatsemesaya abandu, siyirigendera okw’ikangirirya lya Kristo n’eryabakwenda buwe, ababuga bati muleke engano n’esyongendi bikulire haguma erihika okw’ihulula, eryo ly’erihwaho ery’ekihugo; bati “abandu babi n’abatebya bakendisyaloly’embere eribya babi;” bati “omu biro by’enyuma-nyuma emigulu eyikala-kalire yikendisyasa;” kandi bati obwami obw’omwirimya bukendisyalolya embere erihika okw’asa ly’Omukama kandi bukendisyasungusulwa omu muka owakalwa omu buno bwuwe n’eriheribwa omw’ikangabagasania ly’eryasa liwe. Matayo 13:30, 38-41; 2 Timoteo 3:13,1 ;2 Abanya Tesalonika 2:8. OO 321.1

Engangirirya yiti ekihugo kyosi kikendisyabinduka n’eritabala lya Kristo e kanisa ey’abakwenda muyitakangiriryayo. Okwenene kuli kuti abakristo mubataligayo erihika oku nzuko y’ekyasa ky’ebirimo eky’ikumi na munani, Ng’awandi mabehi ng’okw’anabya, ebyalwa muyo mubyabya bibi kutsibu. Muyakangirirya abandu eritungerera okw’asa lya Kristo nga liri hali kutsibu neryo yamakakiryabo erihulikirira obuminyisyo obukakanganaya ng’oku akayasa. Muyaleteraboeriyowa ibanasikire n’eriyowa ibane ndeke eritahandire oku musingyi owasikirreneryo yamaletera abanene bw’erigalagandia eriyiteka-tekera erikayitsutsibawa busana n’erisanga-sangana Omukama wabo. OO 321.2

Iyo Miller mwabana Amasako inyakakangiriraya ndeke Yesu ng’oku akendisyasa abandu ibanamulangire kw’akasa. Paulo akabuga ati: “Nĩkwa hasyabya omulenge munene wʼeribirikira, nʼomulenge, wʼomũlaĩka mukulu, nʼomulenge wʼengubi ya Nyamuhanga. NʼOmukama asyandagala akalũa elubula; nʼabahola ĩbabĩrĩkĩrĩrya Kristo basyatsũka erĩlũbũka.” 1Abanya Tesalonika 4:16. N’omulamya akabuga ati: “Neryo ekiminyikalo kyʼomugala wʼomundu kyasyahuluka omo kyanya; neryo ebihanda byosĩ byʼomo kihugo byasyasũsũmana, kandi byasyalangira Omugala wʼomundu akasa oko bĩtũ byʼekyanya nʼobũtokĩ bunene nʼolukengerwa lunene.” “Kusangwa Omugala wʼomundu asyasa ngʼakarabyo akakakoleraya kakalũa eyo eryuba likahuluka nʼerĩkangabasanĩa, nʼerĩhĩka eyo eryuba likalengera.” Matayo 24:30, 27. Emilondo ey’abanya-lubula eyosi yikendisyamukwamanisya. Omugala w’Omundu akendisyasa omu lukengerwa luwe, n’abalaika babuyirire abosi ibane nayo.” “Neryo Yesu asyatuma abamalaĩka buwe nʼomulenge munene wʼengubi, nabo basyahĩndanĩa abayisogawa ba Nyamuhanga erĩlũa oko bihande bini byʼekihugo, erĩtsũka oko ndũlĩ nguma yʼekyanya erĩhĩka oko yindi ndũlĩ yʼekyanya.” Matayo 24:31. OO 321.3

Okw’asa liwe abahola ibanatunganene bakendisyalbubukibwa, n’abakendisyabya ini batunganene ibaneho bakendisyabindulwa. Paulo ati: ” Hulikirira, ngandibabwira erĩkũmbo; ĩtwe bosĩ Sitwendisyahola, nĩkwa ĩtwe bosĩ twasyahĩndũkĩbwa, oko ndambĩ nguma ngʼerĩkohya lyʼerĩso, omugulu engubi yʼenyũma-nyũma yasyabũga. Kusangwa engubi yasyabũga, neryo abaholĩ basyalũbũkĩbwa omo mũsĩndo owatehonda, netu twasyahĩndũkĩbwa. Kusangwa owakahonda atolere eriambala owatehonda, kandi owakahola atolere iniambala owatehola.” 1 Banya Korinto 15:51-53. N’omu nyawalihwa yiwe oku Banya Tesalonika, abere abiritondogola eryasa ly’Omukama ku likendisyabya, akabuga ati: “Nĩkwa hasyabya omulenge munene wʼeribirikira, nʼomulenge, wʼomũlaĩka mukulu, nʼomulenge wʼengubi ya Nyamuhanga. NʼOmukama asyandagala akalũa elubula; nʼabahola ĩbabĩrĩkĩrĩrya Kristo basyatsũka erĩlũbũka. Neryo netu ĩtwe tuliho, twasyabakulwa haguma nabo omo bĩtũ erĩhĩndana nʼOmukama omo kyanya. Neryo twasyabya haguma nʼOmukama kera na kera.” 1 Abanya Tesalonika 4:16, 17. OO 322.1

Erihika aho Kristo akendisyasira bulolerera niho abandu buwe bakendisyatungira obukama. Omulamia mwbuga ati: “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. Asyahĩra esyombũlĩ oko byala biwe byʼamali, nʼesyombene-hene oko malembe. Neryo Omwami asyabwira abandu abali oko byala biwe byʼamali ati, Mwase, ĩnywe Tata wage abiritsumula, mwĩmaye obwami obwakokotĩbawa busana nenyũ okwʼihangika lyʼekihugo.” Matayo 25:31-34. Twamabirilangira omu masako awamabirihereribwa aya tuti omugulu omugala w’Omundu akendisyasa, abaholi bakendisyalubukibwa isibangasyatsanda, nabakiriho bakendisyabindulwa. Omu mbinduka nene eyi bakendisyateka-tekwa busana n’eryangirira obwami; kusangwa Paulo akabuga ati: “Balĩkyetu, ngabũga nyiti, abʼemĩnyokũ nʼomusasi sibalitoka erisangira Obwami bwa Nyamuhanga; kandi oyukahonda siangatoka erisangira nʼoyutehonda.”1 Abanya Korinto 15:50. Omundu omu mibere yiwe eyo alimolitya ni w’erihola, akatsanda; nikwa obwami bwa Nyamuhanga sibwendisyatsanda, bukendisyabyaho kera-na-kera. Neryo busana n’ekyo omundu omu mibere yiwe eyo alimolitya syangingira omu bwami bwa Nyamuhanga. Nikwa omugulu Yesu asyasa, akendisyahira obutahola bw’oku bandu buwe; neryo kandi inyababirikirabo eryimya obwami obu balyasangawa ini bali b’omwandu wabwo lisa. OO 322.2

Ekyasakawa eki n’eyindi muyakangania iyo Miller yo ndeke-ndeke yiti ebindu ebikendisyabanika ebikaganiribawa eribyaho Yesu atali asa, ng’eritabala lya Yesu oku yunivasi n’erihanda obwami bwa Nyamuhanga bw’oku kihugo, byabya iniby’erikwama eryasa liwe engendo eyakabiri. Eryongera okw’ekyo, obuminyisyo bw’emigulu obwosi n’emibere eyo ekihugo kikendisyabya ikirimobikabasula n’eritonda ery’obuminyereri ery’ebiro eby’omuhindo.

Iyo Musa mwabuga ati “Ebibisire nibya Omwami Mukulu Nyamuhaga wetu: nikwa ebindu ebyo ebikanganibirwe nibyetu n’abana betu kera-na-kera;” kandi Omwami Mukulu akabuga erilaba omu muminyereri Amosi ati “syendisyakola kindu, mbwino inyabiribisula embita yiwe y’oku bagombe buwe abaminyereri.” Eryibuka Ebihano 29:29; Amosi 3:7.

Neryo n’erirengekania bati ekitabu ky’Eribisulirwa n’ikumbo erite lyangayitegereribwa, ekitabu ekyo kinyini-nyini kikaganayalyo: “Eribisulirwa erya Yesu Kristo, eryo Nyamuhanga amuha, erikangania abagombe buwe ebindu ebikenditekwa eribanika luba. ... Obutseme buli nʼomundu oyukasoma ekitabu ekĩ, kandi obutseme buli nʼabandu abakowa ebĩnywa byʼeriminyerera erĩ, nʼabakakwama emyatsi eyĩsakĩre omo kitabu ekĩ! Kusangwa emyatsi eyĩ ikandisyabererera lũba.” Eribisulirwa 1:1-3. OO 341.1

Omuminyereri oyo ati: “Awite omuyisa oyukasoma”- hane abo abatendisyasoma; omuyisa siwabo. “N’abo abakowa”- hane n’abandi abakagana eryowa kindu kyosi ekihambire oku buminyereri; onuyisa siw’ekitunga eki. “N’eriteya ebindu ebyo ebisakiremwo”- Abanene bakagana erihukirira erikunga n’erihana ebiri omw’ibisulirwa; sihali na muguma w’okw’aba oyuwangabuga ati omuyisa owalaganisibirwe ni wuwe. Abosi abakagaya emyatsi y’obuminyereri n’erisekererya oku buminyisyo obuheberwe hano, abosi abakagana eribindula esyongebe syabo n’eryiteka-tekera eryasa ly’Omugala w’omundu, sibendisyabya ba muyisa. Omw’itungerera obwimiri obw’omuhanda ogu erisangakyo lyasondolawamo obunya-lubula, abandu bangatoka bati erikangirirya bati Eribisulirwa n’ikumbo eryo omundu ate angayitegererya? N’ikumbo eribiswire, ni kitabu ekisukwire. Erisoma Eribisulirwa likasondola obulengekania bw’oku buminyereri bwa Danieli, kandi ebyosi ebyo bikakanganaya erihabula erikulu kutsibu kwilaba awosi, eryo Nyamuhnaga akaha abandu, obuhambire oku bindu ebikendisyabyaho oku muhindo w’ekihugo kino.

Yoane mwasukulirwa ebindu ebikulu-bikulu kutsibu oku kanisa. Mwalangira emyimanire, akabi, erihalikana, n’okw’igunzerera erilamibwa ery’abandu ba Nyamuhaga. Akasaka obukwenda bw’erikuningira obukendisyerya amagesa w’ekihugo, ng’engano eyikendigenda omu kigona ky’elubula kutse ng’ebisunga busana n’omuliro owakendisyabulegetya abandu. Mwakanganibwa ebindu eby’omubongo munene kutsibu, na kwilabirirya eby’ekanisa ey’erigunzerera, buti abo abangabinduka erireka amabehi n’erikwama okwenene bakanganibawe emiryambo n’erihalikana ebirindirirebo. Sihatolere hakabya mundu oyuli omu mwirimya oku bihambire oku bikendisyabya oku kihugo. OO 341.3

Neryo busana naki eribya butaminya eriri omu bandu bosi erihambire oku kitsweka ekikulu ekya e Biblia?
