INYANDIKO Z’IBANZ

AMAYEREKWA YAKURIKIYEHO

Ubwo hari ku munsi w’Isabato duteraniye hamwe n’abavandimwe bacu mu kwizera turi i Topsham ho muri Leta ya Maine, mu mwaka wa 1847, Umwami Imana yanyeretse ibi bikurikira: IZ 49.1

Twiyumvisemo umwuka udasanzwe wo gusenga. Kandi ubwo twasengaga, Mwuka Muziranenge yaratumanukiye. Twaranezerewe cyane. Bidatinze, sinongeye kubona ibyo ku isi maze nerekwa ikuzo ry’Imana. Nabonye umumarayika aguruka ansanga. Ankura ku isi bwangu anjyana mu Murwa Wera. Muri uwo murwa nahabonye urusengero maze ninjiramo. Mbere yo kugera ku nyegamo ya mbere, nanyuze mu muryango. Iyo nyegamo yigijweyo maze ninjira ahera. Aho nahabonye urutambiro rwo kosezerezaho imibavu, mbona igitereko cy’amatabaza kiriho amatara arindwi, kandi mbona n’ameza yariho imitsima yo kumurikwa. Maze kwitegereza ubwiza bw’ahera, Yesu yakuyeho inyegamo ya kabiri maze ninjira ahera cyane. IZ 49.2

Aho hera cyane nahabonye isanduku; hejuru kuri yo no ku mpande yari isizwe izahabu nziza cyane. Kuri buri ruhande rw’isanduku hari abakerubi beza batwikirije iyo sanduku amababa yabo. Abo bakerubi bararebanaga, kandi bose barebaga hasi. Hagati y’abamarayika hari icyotero cy’izahabu. Hejuru y’isanduku aho abamarayika bari bahagaze hari umucyo w’ikuzo rihebuje ryari rimeze nk’intebe y’ubwami aho Imana iba. Yesu yari ahagaze iruhande rw’isanduku, maze ubwo amasengesho y’abera yazamukaga akamugeraho, umubavu wo ku cyotero waracumbaga, maze akageza kuri Se amasengesho yabo avanze n’umwotsi w’uwo mubavu. Muri ya sanduku harimo urwabya rw’izahabu rurimo manu, harimo inkoni ya Aroni yazanye uburabyo, n’ibisate by’amabuye bifatanyijwe neza nk’igitabo. Yesu arabibumbura maze mbona amategeko cumi yandikishijwe urutoki rw’Imana kuri ibyo bisate. Ku gisate kimwe hariho amategeko ane, no ku kindi hariho atandatu. Ayo mategeko ane yo ku gisate cya mbere yarabagiranaga kurusha ayo ku gisate cyariho atandatu. Ariko itegeko rya kane, itegeko rivuga Isabato ryarabagiranaga kurusha andi yose, kuko Isabato yarobanuriwe kugira ngo yubahirizwe mu rwego rwo kubaha izina ryera ry’Imana. Isabato yera yasaga n’ifite isumbwe kuko yari igoswe n’umucyo w’ikuzo. Nabonye ko itegeko ry’Isabato ritigeze ribambwa ku musaraba. Iyo riza kuba ryarabambwe ku musaraba, andi mategeko icyenda asigaye nayo yari kuba yarabambwe bityo tukaba dufite umudendezo wo kuyica yose, nk’uko irya kane ryakwicwa. Nabonye ko Imana itigeze ihindura Isabato, kuko Imana ubwayo itajya ihinduka. Nyamara papa we yahinduye Isabato ayikura ku munsi wa karindwi ayishyira ku munsi wa mbere w’icyumweru; kuko yagombaga guhindura ibihe n’amategeko. IZ 49.3

Nabonye kandi ko Imana ibaye yarahinduye Isabato ikayikura ku munsi wa karindwi ikayishyira ku wa mbere w’icyumweru, yari no kuba yarahinduye inyandiko y’itegeko ry’Isabato ryanditswe ku bisate by’amabuye ubu biri mu isanduku, ahera cyane ho mu ngoro yo mu ijuru, bityo hakandikwa ngo: Umunsi wa mbere ni wo Sabato y’Uwiteka Imana yawe. Nyamara nabonye ko ryanditswe nk’uko ryari riri mbere ryandikwa ku bisate by’amabuye n’urutoki rw’Imana maze ikabiha Mose ubwo yari ku musozi Sinayi. Yanditse igira iti: “Ariko umunsi wa karindwi ni wo Sabato y’Uwiteka Imana yawe.” Nabonye ko Isabato yera ari urukuta, kandi izakomeza kuba urukuta rutandukanya Isirayeli nyakuri y’Imana n’abatizera; kandi ko Isabato ari ingingo ikomeye ihurizwaho imitima y’abera bakundwa n’Imana, abera bategereje kugaruka kwa Yesu. IZ 49.4

Nabonye ko Imana ifite abana batabona Isabato kandi batayubahiriza. Ntibigeze banga umucyo werekeye Isabato. Kandi ku itangira ry’igihe cy’akaga twujujwe Mwuka Wera, ubwo twagendaga kandi tukamamaza Isabato tudakebakeba. Ibi byarakaje cyane amatorero n’Abadiventisiti ku izina ³⁵, kuko batashoboraga kuvuguruza ukuri kw’Isabato. Ariko muri icyo gihe, abo Imana yatoranyije bose babonye neza ko dufite ukuri maze baraza bihanganira kurenganyanwa natwe. Nabonye inkota, inzara, indwara z’ibyorezo n’urujijo rukomeye mu gihugu. Ababi bibwiraga ko twatumye bagibwaho n’urubanza, maze barahaguruka bajya inama yo kuturimbura, bibwira ko ariho ibibi bishobora gushira. IZ 50.1

Mu gihe cy’akaga twese twarahunze tuva mu mijyi no mu midugudu, ariko ababi bakomeza kudukurikira kuko binjiraga mu mazu y’abera bitwaje inkota. Bakuye inkota ngo batwice, ariko inkota zabo zicikamo ibice zigwa hasi nk’ibikenyeri. Icyo gihe twatakambaga amanywa n’ijoro dusaba gutabarwa, maze gutaka kwacu kugera ku Mana. Izuba ryararashe kandi ukwezi kurahagarara. Amasoko y’amazi yaretse gutemba. Ibicu byijimye bya rukokoma byarabuditse birakubitana. Ariko hari akanya gato kagaragaramo ubwiza budasanzwe. Muri ko humvikaniyemo ijwi ry’Imana rimeze nk’amazi menshi asuma maze ritigisa isi n’ijuru. Ijuru rirakinguka rirongera ririkinga maze riba umuvurungano. Imisozi inyeganyega nk’urubingo ruhungabanywa n’umuyaga maze ijugunya ibitare binini hirya no hino. Inyanja ibira nk’inkono itogota maze ijugunya ibitare ku isi. Maze ubwo Imana yavugaga umunsi n’isaha yo kugaruka kwa Yesu igaha ubwoko bwayo isezerano rihoraho, yavuze interuro imwe gusa, irekera aho mu gihe ayo magambo yirangiraga ku isi yose. Isirayeli y’Imana yahagaze ihanze amaso hejuru, itegeye amatwi ya magambo uko yavaga mu kanwa ka Yehova, agakwira ku isi ameze nk’amasaro ashoka asakuza nk’inkuba zihinda cyane. Byari ibintu biteye ubwoba cyane. Kandi uko harangiraga interuro imwe, abera bateraga hejuru bavuga bati: ‘Ikuzo! Haleluya!’ Mu maso habo harabagiranaga ikuzo ry’Imana, kandi barabagiranishwaga n’ubwiza nk’uko mu maso ha Mose hari hameze ubwo yari amanutse ku Musozi Sinayi. Kubera ikuzo bari bafite, ababi ntibashoboraga kubareba. Kandi ubwo imigisha ihoraho yahabwaga abari barubashye Imana bubahiriza Isabato yayo yera, habayeho urusaku rukomeye rw’uko inyamaswa n’igishushanyo cyayo byaneshejwe. IZ 50.2

Hanyuma hatangira ikomorerwa, igihe ubutaka bwagombaga kuruhuka guhingwa. Nabonye imbata zubaha Imana zizukana insinzi no kunesha kandi zica iminyururu yari iziboshye mu gihe ba shebuja b’abagome bari baheze mu rujijo batazi icyo bakora, kuko ababi batashoboraga gusobanukirwa n’amagambo y’ijwi ry’Imana. Bidatinze haboneka igicu kinini cyera. Cyari cyiza by’agahebuzo. Kuri cyo niho Umwana w’Umuntu yari yicaye. Ku ikubitiro, ntitwabonye Yesu ku bicu, ariko uko icyo gicu cyarushagaho kwegera isi, twashoboye kumubona mu bwiza bwe. Ubwo icyo gicu cyagaragaraga ubwa mbere mu kirere, cyari ikimenyetso cy’Umwana w’umuntu. Ijwi ry’Umwana w’Imana rihamagara abera basinziriye mu bituro, bazuka bambaye ukudapfa. Abera bari bakiriho bahindurwa mu kanya gato maze bazamuranwa nabo mu igare rigoswe n’igicu. Ubwo ryazamukaga, ryarabagiranaga impande zose. Kuri buri ruhande rw’iryo gare hari amababa, kandi munsi hari inziga ryikaragiraho. Uko iryo gare ryazamukaga, niko inziga zarangururaga ziti: “Uwera,” bityo n’amababa nayo uko yagurukaga akarangurura ati: “Uwera,” maze n’abamarayika bera bari bashagaye icyo gicu bakikiriza bati: “Urera, urera, urera, Mwami Imana Ishoborabyose!” Maze abera aho bagenderaga mu bicu nabo bakarangurura bati: “Ikuzo ni iryayo! Haleluya!” Maze rya gare rirazamuka ryerekeza mu Murwa Wera. Yesu akingura amarembo y’umurwa urimbishijwe izahabu maze aratwinjiza. Tugezeyo baduha ikaze, kuko “twubahirije amategeko y’Imana,” bityo twari dufite “uburenganzira bwo kurya ku giti cy’ubugingo.” IZ 51.1
