EKIHANDE EKYA 1—ERIHERA LY’E YERUSALEMA

“… Kumbe mũnabwĩre nawe ũlwe wasĩ emyatsi eyikaleta Obuholo! Nĩkwa lino ĩbĩsamĩre oko meso wawe. Kusangwa ebiro byasyasa kwĩnywe, oko mugulu oyo esyonzĩgũ syawe syasyahanganĩa olũhĩmbo embere syenyũ nʼerĩbatĩmbako, nʼerĩbakakĩrya oko mbande syosĩ. Basyabagusa ahisi haguma nʼabandu abali omwisi wawe; isibendĩsyasĩga erĩbwe nʼeriguma endata oko lindi, kusangwa Sulitaminya omugulu Nyamuhanga ahĩka erĩkũlamya.”Luka 19:42-44OO 17.1

Yesu inyane oko singyi y’ekitwa ky’Emizaituni mwatungerera eYerusalema.Mwalangir’ehosi iyuwene kandi ihali obuholo. Abya mugulu w’obugeni w’erilabwako, kandi abana ba Yakobo erilwa omu mbande syosi sy’ekihugo ibabirihindanaho busana n’eryibuka ekiro kikulu eky’obugeni bw’ekihanda. Omu kati-kati k’amalima w’ebyalya n’amalima w’ebinyu, n’ehyandagala ehikinire ng’ebiti oku butitikire ehinyumba hy’ebitalikirire ehy’ababalami abakasyaramaya, mumwahangana ehitwa ehirikw’emikiki, ebikale ebyuwenenga, n’ebiyite binene-binene kutsibu ebitimbire oku muyi mukulu ow’e Israeli. Omwali w’e Sioni oyo akabanika ng’abya akabuga omw’iyiheka liwe ati, “ngikere ng’omukama-kali kandi sinendisyalola oku bulige na hake;” oku ndambi eyo ini mubuyanga kandi inyakayowa ng’akasimawa olubula, ng’emigulu mingyi y’enyuma omugulu omwimbi w’obwami imba ati: “Ekitwa ky’e Sioni, ni kiri, kandi ni kibuya; Ni kitwa kikaleta obutseme oko kihugo kyosi. Ni muyi w’Omwami Mukulu.” Esyonyimbo 48:2. Ebihimbano ebikakangabasanaya eby’e hekalu ibinemulangirwa ebyosi. Amasangya aw’eryuba likalenga mwakolerya ebisenge byago ebihenirye ng’esyonzururu neryo amakolerya oku lukyo lw’esy’amagetsi n’oku mulongote n’oku kasweswe. Iyimene nga “Eribuyirira ly’obubuya,” eky’eriyihalambira eky’ekihanda eky’abaYuda. Ni mwana w’e Israeli wahi oyuwangasamalire ebikakolawa akabya butsira itsanga n’eriyikumbukawo! Nikwa amalengekania wa Yesu abyamoebindi bindu. Abere ahika hakuhi, mwasamalira omuy’oyo, amalira busana nago.” Luka 19:41. N’eriyitsangura lingaho-ngaho eryo bandu babya nalyo busana n’eryingira liwe ery’erikinda omu muyi oyo, omugulu emitahi y’amabondo yabya iyinemubingya, omugulu emirenge yiti “Hosana!” yabya iyinemubuwa oku bitwa, n’emirenge y’ebigonye by’abandu yabya iyinemumwahula mu mukama, iyo Omulamia w’ekihugo aby’oswire obulige bungaho-ngaho. Iyo, Omugala wa Nyamuhanga, oyuwalaganisibawa oku Israeli, oyu butoki bwuwe bwakinda oluholo akabirikira erilwa omu masinda obu lwabya luhambirire, mwabya omu misonia, si busana n’obulige obukanabya oku bandu, nikwa obw’obwagali bungaho-ngaho obu gute wangakungutsiryaOO 17.2

Emisonia yiwe siyabya y’eriyiririrako, n’omw’anabya inyanasi ahw’akalola. Abya inyatungerere e Getesemani, ahw’eryagalwa liwe eritebugika lyabya erikayabya. N’olukyo olw’ekyana ky’Embuli nalwo abya inyanasamalirelo, olu babya bakalabyamo esyombuli esyo bakayahera busana n’amagana w’ebirimo, kandi olukendisyamukingukalira omugulu atolere “…Ng’kyana ky’embuli ekikaletawa okw’ikerwa…” Isaya 53:7. E Kalivari eyo babya bakahanika abandu b’oko miti siyabya hali kutsibu.Omu nzira eyo Kristo abya inyali hakuhi erilabamo mwabya inimw’eriwa ekindu ekikita-susubali eky’omuhindania ng’okw’atolere inyayira omubiri wuwe mu hongo busana n’ekibi.Ibwa kandi siryabya iry’erilengekania oko bindu ebi eryabya lyamuletere obulige oku ndambi y’ebitsange eyi.Siryaby’iyibula-bula ery’obwagali bwuwe obulengire lulengo eryabya lyalekire oyutabyakw’eriyiminyako oyo inyosula mw’obulige.Alira busana n’ebigonye eby’abandu ab’erihera ab’omu Yerusalema — busana n’obutima-timirya n’obutayisubamo obw’abandu obu asyatsumula n’erilamia.OO 18.1

Omwatsi owamabirigunza ebirimo eyilabire oku kigonye kiguma ow’erikola abandu bano bo ndeke omu musindo w’engabane n’obuteya bwuwe obwakanganibawa oku bayisogawa buwe, Yesu mwalangirawo. Yaby’iyine ekitwa ekya Moria, aho omugala ow’endagane, oyukagalawa isyaliyinyalika, abya inyaboherwe oku kiherero — akaminyisyo ak’erihongwa ly’omwana wa Nyamuhanga. Endagane y’emiyisa, eyabya erilaganisibwa erya Masia w’olukengerwa, aho yasikibawa oku Tata w’abikirirya. Enzuko 22:9, 16-18.OO 18.2

Ebirimi by’omuliro eby’obuhere bikahetukira elubula erilwa oku bihumbiro ebya Onani aho byabindulir’omuyali w’omulaika oyukatinda (1 Eky’emyatsi y’Emigulu 21) — akaminyikalo k’obuhere bw’omulamia n’erisanga-sangania omundu oyusingirwe-lubanza y’oku Nyamuhanga.Nyamuhanga abya inyabirisikya e Yerusalema kwilaba ekihugo ekyosi. Omwami Mukulu abya “inyabirisombola eSioni,” “inyabiriyikumbukirayo eribya bwikalo bwuwe.” Esyonyimbo 132:13. Aho erigunz’ebirimo minene, abaminyereri babuyirire mubabugirayo obukwenda obw’erikunga. Aho abahereri babya bakatsinga-tsingiryayo ebibindi, n’omuki w’obukwa inyakahetukira ewa Nyamuhanga haguma n’emisabe ey’abakaramaya. Aho obuli kiro omusasi w’ekyana by’embuli inyakahererawaho, erikangania ko Yesu ali Kyana ky’Embuli wa Nyamuhanga. Aho Yehova inyakaminyikalirayaho omu kitu ky’olukengerwa endata w’ekitumbi ky’olukogo. Aho ahabya endina y’ekisambiro aw’eriswekya awakasangasanganaya ekihugo n’olubula (Enzuko28:12; Yoane 1:51) — ekisambiro ekyo abalaika ba Nyamuhanga bandagalako n’erihetukako, kandi ekyakyungulira ekihugo ky’enzira eyikingira Ahabuyirire kwilaba ehosi. Israeli ng’ekihanda kubaly’ikala ibanemwolobera Nyamuhanga, e Yerusalema yangikere inina muyi owasombwerwe kya Nyamuhanga kera-na-kera. Yeremia 17:21-25. Nikwa oluganikyo olw’ekihanda ekyayirirawa olukogo ekyo lwoswiremo erisubirira enyuma n’erihona. Mubagana olukogo olw’elubula, bamasata-sata omu miyisa yabo.OO 18.3

Israeli n’omuyana “Nikwa mobasekererya abakwenda ba Nyamuhanga, n’eripona ebinywa biwe, n’erisekererya abaminyereri buwe…” (2 Eky’emyatsi y’Emigulu 36:16), mwabya inyanemuyikangya kubo, kwali “Omwami Mukulu Nyamuhanga, oyo woswire n’eriganyira n’ow’olukogo, syanguhire, okwihitana, oyowoswire n’obwenge bw’lwanzo n’omwatsi w’ekwenene.” Eriluayo 34:6); n’omu banikala ibanemumugana, olukeri luwe mulwikala ilunemubogera kubo. N’olwanzo olulengire olwanzo olwa tata oku mwana wuwe oyu akatsomana, Nyamuhanga, erilaba omu bakwenda buwe mwasangwa “…mwatumirabo abakwenda buwe, engendo n’engendo, kusangwa aganyira abandu buwe, n’aherikala liwe.” 2 Eky’emyatsi y’Emigulu 36:15. Omugulu eriyisamambula, erikuta-kuta kubo n’eritsumanga byataluka, mwatumirabo olusunzo olw’elubula olubuya kwilaba ebyosi, eyihi, mwatuma olubula olwosi omu lusunzo luguma olo.OO 19.1

Omugala wa Nyamuhanga iyuwenene-wene mwatumwa erisyakuta—kuta oko muyi owatayisubiremo oyo. Ni Kristo oyuwaleta ekihanda ekya Israeli ng’omulikiriki w’ebinyu omubuya akalusyabo eMisiri. Esyonyimbo 80:8. Ebyala byiwe ni nabyo byahigita abatasi Nyamuhanga embere syago. Abya inyabiriherago “omu kitwa ekikeraya ndeke.” Obuhereri buwe obw’olubuti-buti mulwatimbya kugo kw’olugutu. Abagombe buwe mubasangwa ibabiritumwa erilolererago. Akabulaya omw’isweka ati, Ni kyahi ekirengire aho ekyangakolerwe eririma lyage ly’ebinyu ekyo nyitetakolerabo kwehi?” Isaya 5:1-4. N’omu kyanabya kiti omugulu abya akaganirya oku muti oyo kw’erihetya emizabibu mwahetya ebiguma by’omwoli, nikwa inyakinawite amaha manene ati akendisyahetya, mwasa iyuwene-wene omw’irima liwe ery’ebinyu, ati kwamuhwa lyanginaban’eribala okw’itindwa. Mwalimirira n’erikuhira omulikiriki wuwe ow’ebinyuwo ndeke; amasaririrawo n’erikolerawo. Mwataluha erikolerera eritsunira omulikiriki ow’ayiherera iy’owene wene.OO 19.2

Eribuga emyak’isatu, Omwami Mukulu w’ekyakakala n’olukengerwa mwalendera omu bandu buwe. “Mwabya akakola ebibuya n’erilamia abosi abo ababya bakagalibwa enzigu,” inyakasunga-sunga abatawite maha, inyakakundula ababohirwe, erilibula ameso w’esyondimetime, inyakatokesaya ebitsingo eriryata n’abatsiha ery’owa. Inyakeraya abahaga, inyakalubukaya abaholi, n’eritula Engulu-mbuya oku bera. Emibiri y’Abakwenda 10:38; Luka 4:18; Matayo 11:5. Eribirikira ery’olukogo irikahik’oku bandu ab’ebitunga byosi liti: “Mwase okwingye, inywe bosi abakanuba n’eriritoherwa, nage ngendibaha erihumulikana.” Matayo 11:28.OO 20.1

N’omu banabya bamulihire obubi busana n’ebibuya ebyakola, n’erimupona busana n’olwanzo luwe (Esyonyimbo 109:5), mwaloly’embere n’erikola omubiri ow’olukeri. Ababya bakasonda-sonda olukogo luwe mwatahigabo. Mwabya mubungyi-bungyi oyutawite omwuwe, mwabya oyukagayawa kandi omwera. Mwabyaho busana n’erikolera abandu bw’erisonda lyabo n’eriboberya amalige w’abandu, inyakalemba-lembabo eririga olusunzo lw’engebe. Ebisunda by’olukogo ebikaswiribawa emitima yikala-kalire eyo, ibikasubula omu kihunga kinene eky’olwanzo olwoswire olukeri kandi olute lwangakakiribwa. Liriryo Israeli yabya iyabirihuma okw’oyuwabya munywani wayo kwilaba abosi kandi omuwatikya wabo iyo musa. Erilemba-lemba ly’olwanzo luwe mulyagaywa, erihabula liwe mulyagaywa, erikunga liwe lyamagaywa.OO 20.2

Endambi y’amaha n’eribuyira yabya iyinemulaba luba; olutehi lw’erihitana lya Nyamuhanga eryabya iryabirisegereribwa embere yo buli lwabya ilwabiryosula. Ekitu ekyabya ikinemuyisongya-songya omu biro by’erisububula-kimweyo n’epono, litya ikikinire busana n’amalige, kyabya ikikisiya ikyatulikira oko bandu abakindirwe-lubanza, kandi iyo musa oyu wangatsunirebo oko muhito owali hakuhi ibabirimutserya-tserya, n’erimutsuma, n’erimugana, kandi ibali hakuhi erimubamba. Omugulu Kristo angahanikwa oko musalaba ow’e Kalwari, Israeli eritwalwa ng’ekihanda ekiyirirwe lukeri kandi ekitsumwirwe Nyamuhanga irikendisubulira aho. Eritalya, n’omu anabya mundu muguma ni muhito owakendisyikala inyanalengirye amagoba n’obuteke bw’ekihugo bwo amaka; nikwa Yesu abere akatungerera oko Yerusalema, mwalangira eritogota ery’omuyi owosi — omuyi oyo, ekihanda ekyo, abanabya ini bayisogawa ba Nyamuhanga, ababya buteke bwuwe bw’engabane.OO 20.3

Abaminyereri mubasangwa ibabiririra busana n’erisububula-kimweyo erya Israeli kandi busana n’eriyirwamo kihuma busana n’ebibi byabo. Yeremia mwayikumbuka ati kumbe ameso wuwe abya ngununuko y’emisonia, ati inyanalira ekiro n’eritungyi busana n’abali b’abandu buwe ababiryitibwa, busana n’ababirihungwa busana n’erigana Omwami Mukulu Yeremia 9:1; 13:17. Ibwa kwehi bwangabya bulige bungahi okw’oyo oyuwagunza ebirimo minene inyanalangire ebikendisyabya. Mwalangira omulaika oyukaheraya inyasumbire omuyali wuwe w’oko muyi owasangawa ini bwikalo bwa Yehova. Mwalolya ameso wuwe w’eyisirya y’omusya erilwa oku kitwa ky’Emizaituni, oko kibuti ky’oyonyini aho milomdo y’abatabali ba Tito y’imana enyuma w’aho, amalangira ebihimbano ebihenirye n’esyongutu syabyo, neryo n’ameso awalimw’ebiyiri-yiri n’esusubali nene, mwalangira ebisenge byamo ibinatimbireko emilondo y’abanya-hali. Mw’owa ebikindo eby’abalwi abakayiteka-tekera oluhi. Mw’owa omulenge w’abo mama n’abana bakalira busana n’enzala omu kati k’omuyi owatimbirweko abalwi. Mwalangira enyumba yago yibuyirire kandi embuyanga, ebikali byago n’emisunguliko yago bimugulumira omu kirimi ky’omuliro, kandi aho banabya bakimana, mwalangira ihali ekilundo ky’ebidongo.OO 21.1

Abere akataswatungerera emigulu y’embere mwalangira abandu ab’endagane ibabiripanzwa-panzirwa omu buli kihugo, “ng’ebitsutsangikirya by’obwato oko musike w’engetse owali omu mbwarara.” Omw’isuyira erikisiya iryahika oko bana buwe, mwalangira omugeryo w’olutehi lw’erihitana olw’omuyi oyo akendisyahereribwa erinywa n’ebikanza byalwo okw’itswerwa ly’erigunzerera. Erikwa obulige bw’obunya-lubula n’olukando mubyabuwa omu binywa eby’obulige biti: “Uwe Yerũsalema, Yerũsalema! Ũkĩta abamĩnyererĩ, nʼerĩĩta omo mabwe abakwenda abo Nyamuhanga akatuma ukʼuwe!

Nikwa n’omu byanabya ebyala byiwe mubyabya isibyangasubya ekihunga ky’obulige bw’omundu ky’enyuma; ni bake abangasondekenie engununuko nguma nyisa ey’obuwatikya bwabo. Abya inyananzire erihayo engebe yiwe erihika n’oko luholo nibya, erireta omulamo wo hakuhi nabo; nikwa ini bake abakasa eyali busana n’eritunga engebe.OO 22.1

Omwami w’olubuha mwabya omo misonia! Omugala wa Nyamuhanga oyutawite busubuliro mwasulusuta omu mutima, munama omu bwagali bungaho-ngaho! Ekyakolawa eki mukyabya ky’eriswekera omo lubula. Ekyakolawa ekyo kikatukakanganaya obubi bw’ekibi ku buli bungana; kikatukanganaya ngani lumimbi lukalire bungahi, oyuwirirwe-lubanza erimulamiako ebikalwa omw’iketa Ebihano bya Nyamuhanga.Yesu abere akatungerera abandu ab’olulengo lw’erigunzerera, mwalangira ekihugo ikiri omw’itebibwa erisosene n’eryaletera e Yerusalema yo eritinda. Ekibi eky’aba’Yuda ekirengererye ly’erigana Kristo; ekibi ekirengererye eky’abakristo munabwire ly’erigana Ebihano bya Nyamuhanga, omusingyi w’obutabali bw’olubula n’ekihugo.

Neryo mwahimba e Hekalu yiwe, ng’eka wuwe elubula, Mwasikyayo ng’ekihugo ekyo abirisikya kera kera..” Esyonyimbo 76:2; 78:68,69. E hekalu y’erimbere muyahimbwa omu mugulu ow’erikula-kulana erya Israeli. Omwami Dawidi mwabika obuteke bungaho-ngaho busana n’ekilubirirwa eki, n’esyondeka-teka sy’erihimbayo syakolawa omw’isondola lya’Nyamuhanga. 1 Eky’emyatsi y’emigulu 28:12,19. Solomono oyuwabya w’amenge kwilaba abami b’eIsraeli, abya inyabirigunzerera omubiri oyo. E hekalu eno niyo yabya kihimbano ekirengire erikangabasania ekyamatabya oko kihugo. Kandi ibwa Omwami Mukulu inyabiribuga erilaba omu mumiyereri iyo Hagai omwatsi owahambire oku hekalu eyakabiri ati, “olukengerwa lw’erinyuma lw’enyumba eyi lwasyabya lunene kw’ilaba olw’erimbere, Omwami Mukulu W’emilodo atya; n’Omwami Mukulu W’emiondo ati, Omo mwanya oyu nasyaha obuholo”.

E Hekalu eyakabiri muyitahiribwako ekitu ky’olukengerwa lwa Yehova, liriryo iyirim’oyo oyuwabya Nyamuhanga iyane omo kibiri-biri — kandi oyuwabya Nyamuhanga iyuwene-wene oyuminyikere omu mubiri. Oyuwabya “Iyitsutswa ly’ebihanda” kwenene abya inyabiryasa omu hekalu yiwe omugulu omulume oyo ow’e Nazareti akangiriraya n’erilamirya omu butala/olubugabuga lw’e’ hekalu. Omw’ibyaho lya Kristo, kandi muno musa, nimoe Hekalu eyakabiri yalengaya ey’erimbere yo kitsumbi. Nikwa e Israeli yabya ibabirilusya omo Hekalu mw’olusunzo olwahebawayo olubula.

Omuminyereri mwabuga ati: “Uwe Israeli, ni’hera lyawe,” “Kusangwa wabiriwa busana n’ebibi byawe.” Hosea 13: 9; 14:1. Eryagalwa lyabo emigulu eminene likakanibawako ng’erisuyira eryahikakubo erilwa okw’ilayira lya Nyamuhanga.Ku kiri kitya kiti omutebya sigiri-sigiri akasonda eribisa omubiri wuwe winyini-nyini. Omw’igana kinya-pono olwanzo lw’obunya-lubula n’olukeri lw’elubula, abaYuda mubaleka obuteya bwa Nyamuhanga ibwabalusibwaho, neryo Satani mwaligirwa eritabala kubo ng’erisonda liwe.

Nikwa oku kiro ekyo ng’oku kyabya omugulu w’eritinda ly’e Yerusalema, abandu ba Nyamuhanga bakendisyalamibwa, obuli mundu oyuwasyegibwa inyanasakire omu baliho. Isaya 4:3. Kristo abiribuga ati akendisyasa engendo eya kabiri erisyatwala abatalegula buwe bw’eyali: ” 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.

Neryo abo abakagana eryobera engulu yuwene bakendisyagulumira omu mulimu w’obuno buwe neryo ibatindwa omw’ikangabagasania ery’eryasa liwe. 2 Abanya Tesalonika 2:8. Nga Israeli eya kera, ababi bakendisyayiherya; bakendisyawa busana n’ebibi byabo. Omw’ibya n’engebe y’ekibi babiriyihira hali kutsibu oku Nyamuhanga, engebe y’obuhangiranwa bwabo yabiryinubya-nubyabo omu kibi mo yitya, eriminyikalibwa ly’olukengerwa luwe iryabya kubo ng’omuliro owakatogotaya.OO 37.1
