“Gamba abaana ba Isirayiri bandeetere ekiweebwayo. Buli muntu aleete ekiweebwayo ng’okuteesa kw’omutima gwe bwe kuli, okimunzijireko. (Okuva 25:2)

“Bw’onoobalanga abaana ba Isirayiri, buli gw’onoobalanga anaasasulanga omuwendo eri Mukama olw’okununula obulamu bwe mu kiseera mw’abaliddwa, kawumpuli aleme okubagwamu.

(Okuva 30:12-14)

Mutoole ku bye mulina muweeyo eri Mukama. Buli omu aweeyo, nga bw’ayagala mu mutima gwe ebiweebwayo eri Mukama: “zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ekikomo; (Okuva 35:5)

Buli eyayagala, era ng’omwoyo gwe bwe gwamukubiriza, n’awaayo eri Mukama eby’okukozesa Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ebikozesebwamu byonna, n’eby’okukozesa ebyambalo ebitukuvu. Abasajja n’abakazi bonna abaayagala mu mitima gyabwe ne bajja; ne baleeta ebikwaso eby’omuwendo, empeta ez’omu matu, n’empeta ez’oku ngalo, n’ebikomo, n’ebirala ebya zaabu ebitali bimu; buli muntu n’awaayo ekirabo ekya zaabu eri Mukama. Era buli muntu eyalina olugoye olwa bbululu, oba olwa kakobe, oba olumyufu, oba olwa linena ennungi, oba olw’obwoya bw’embuzi; oba amaliba amakunye ag’endiga ensajja oba ag’embuzi, byonna ne babireeta. Buli omu eyalina eky’okuwaayo ekya ffeeza oba eky’ekikomo, yakireeta n’akiwaayo eri Mukama; era na buli musajja eyalina olubaawo olwa akasiya nga luyinza okugasa mu mulimu ogwali gukolebwa, yaluleeta n’aluwaayo. Abakazi bonna abaali bamanyi ennyo okulanga ewuzi, ne balanga n’engalo zaabwe ewuzi eza bbululu, n’eza kakobe, n’emyufu n’eza linena omuyonde obulungi, ne bazireeta ne baziwaayo. Era n’abakazi bonna abaali abakugu era nga beeyagalidde, ne balanga ewuzi mu bwoya bw’embuzi.

Era ne baleeta n’ebyakaloosa, n’amafuta g’ettaala, n’amafuta ag’okwawula n’okukozesa ku bubaane. Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, abasajja n’abakazi, abaalina omutima ogwagala okuleeta ekintu kyonna olw’omulimu Mukama gwe yali alagidde Musa okukolebwa, ne bakireeta ng’ekiweebwayo kyabwe kye baawaayo eri Mukama nga beesiimidde. (Okuva 35:21-29)

Ku buli kimu ku biweebwayo ebyo anaggyangako omugaati gumu n’aguwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama; kabona anaamansiranga omusaayi ogw’ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe y’anaatwalanga ekiweebwayo ekyo. (Ebyabaleevi 7:14)

Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Laba, Nze kennyini nkukwasizza ebiweebwayo byonna ebireetebwa gye ndi; ebiweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banandeeteranga mbikuwadde ggwe ne batabani bo nga gwe mugabo gwammwe ogw’olubeerera. Ku biweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu ennyo ebitayokeddwa mu muliro kunaabangako ebibyo. Omugabo gwo ne batabani bo gunaavanga ku birabo ebitukuvu ennyo abaana ba Isirayiri bye banandeeteranga: ebiweebwayo eby’emmere y’empeke oba ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, oba ebiweebwayo olw’omusango. Omugabo ogwo onooguliiranga mu kifo ekitukuvu ennyo, era buli musajja anaagulyangako. Osaana okitegeere ng’ebyo bitukuvu nnyo. “Bino nabyo binaabanga bibyo: ku birabo bye banandeeteranga, n’ebiweebwayo ebiwuubibwawuubibwa eby’abaana ba Isirayiri. Ebyo mbikuwadde ne batabani bo ne bawala bo okuba omugabo gwo ogw’olubeerera. Buli muntu yenna ow’omu maka go omulongoofu anaalyangako. “Nkuwadde ku mafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agasinga obulungi ne ku wayini omusu, ne ku mmere y’empeke embereberye bye baleetera Mukama eby’amakungula gaabwe. Ebibala ebinaasookanga okwengera mu nnimiro zaabwe, bye banaaleeteranga Mukama Katonda, binaabanga bibyo. Buli muntu yenna ow’omu maka go omulongoofu anaalyangako. “Buli kintu kyonna mu Isirayiri ekiweereddwayo ddala ne kiwongebwa eri Mukama kinaabanga kikyo. Buli ekinaggulangawo enda y’omuntu oba ey’ekisolo, nga kyakuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, kinaabanga kikyo. Naye omwana omubereberye ow’omuntu onoomununulanga, era n’embereberye ez’ensolo ezitali nnongoofu nazo onoozinunulanga. Ebyo eby’okununula onoobinunulanga bimaze okuweza omwezi gumu ogw’obukulu. Onoobinunuliranga ku muwendo ogwagerekebwa ogwa gulaamu amakumi ataano mu ttaano, ng’ebipimo by’awatukuvu bwe biri. “Naye embereberye ey’ente, oba embereberye ey’endiga oba ey’embuzi, ezo toozinunulenga, kubanga zo ntukuvu. Onoomansiranga omusaayi gwazo ku kyoto, n’oyokya amasavu gaazo mu muliro ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekivaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda. Ennyama yaazo eneebanga yiyo ng’ekiweebwayo ky’ekifuba ekiwuubibwawuubibwa n’ekisambi ekya ddyo bwe kiri ekikyo. Ebiweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleeteranga Mukama, mbikuwadde, ggwe ne batabani bo, ne bawala bo, okubeeranga omugabo gwo ogw’olubeerera. Eneebeeranga endagaano ey’omunnyo eya Mukama wakati we naawe n’ezzadde lyo emirembe gyonna.” Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Toobenga na byabusika mu nsi yaabwe, so toobenga na mugabo gwonna mu bo; Nze mugabo gwo era Nze busika bwo mu baana ba Isirayiri. “Ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeeranga omugabo gwabwe nga ye mpeera yaabwe olw’omulimu gwe bakola nga baweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Era okuva leero abaana ba Isirayiri tebaasembererenga Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, si kulwa nga bakolerayo ebibi, ne bafa. Abaleevi be banaakolanga emirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, era be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwe banaakolerangayo ebibi. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ne mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egigenda okujja. Tebaafunenga byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri. Kubanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeera omugabo gwabwe. Noolwekyo tebaabenga na byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri.” (Okubala 18:8-24)

Ebintu byonna ebyaleetebwa, kabaka Dawudi yabiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu gye yawamba ku mawanga amalala nga Edomu ne Mowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abafirisuuti, ne Amaleki. (1 Ebyomumirembe 18:11)

Bangi ne baleetera Mukama ebirabo e Yerusaalemi, ne Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda n’afuna ebirabo eby’omuwendo omungi. N’okuva ku lunaku olwo n’aweebwa ekitiibwa kinene mu mawanga gonna. (2 Ebyomumirembe 32:23)

Kabaka Dawudi n’abiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu bye yaggya mu mawanga amalala ge yawangula. (2 Samwiri 8:11)

“Owangayo ssaddaaka ey’okwebaza eri Katonda; era otuukirizanga obweyamo bwo eri oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo. (Zabbuli 50:14)

Nnaayambukanga mu yeekaalu yo n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ntuukirize obweyamo bwange gy’oli, (Zabbuli 66:13)

Bakabaka balikuleetera ebirabo olwa Yeekaalu yo eri mu Yerusaalemi. (Zabbuli 68:29)

Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga; bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo, kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa. (Zabbuli 76:11)

Ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu, olusozi oluwanvu olwa Isirayiri mu nsi eyo, ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna balimpeereza, nange ndibasembeza. Era eyo gye ndibasabira ebiweebwayo byammwe, n’ebibala ebibereberye eby’ebirabo byammwe, wamu ne ssaddaaka zammwe ezitukuzibbwa. (Ezeekyeri 20:40)

“Golokoka otandike okusa ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga ejjembe lyo ndirifuula ekyuma; ndikuwa ebigere eby’ekyuma eky’ekikomo era olibetenta amawanga mangi.” Amagoba gaabwe n’ebintu byabwe bye bafunye mu makubo amakyamu olibiwaayo eri Mukama, n’obugagga bwabwe n’obuwaayo eri Mukama w’ensi zonna. (Mikka 4:13)

Tondeetedde ndiga ey’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, wadde okunzisaamu ekitiibwa ne ssaddaaka zo. Sikukaluubirizanga nga nkusaba ebiweebwayo ebyempeke wadde okukukooya n’obubaane.

Ne bawaayo zaabu ttani kikumi mu kyenda ne kilo kinaana mu nnya, ne ffeeza ttani bisatu mu nsanvu mu ttaano, n’ebikomo ttani lukaaga mu nsanvu mu ttaano, n’ebyuma ttani enkumi ssatu mu lusanvu mu ataano, olw’omulimu gwa yeekaalu ya Katonda. Abo abaalina amayinja ag’omuwendo, baagawaayo eri eggwanika lya yeekaalu ya Mukama, eyakuumibwanga Yekyeri Omugerusoni. Abantu ne basanyukira nnyo okwewaayo abakulembeze baabwe kwe beewaayo, kubanga baawaayo n’omutima ogutuukiridde eri Mukama. Ne kabaka Dawudi n’asanyuka nnyo nnyini. (1 Ebyomumirembe 29:5-9)

“Naye nze ani n’abantu bange kye ki, ffe okusobola okuwaayo bwe tutyo nga ffe tweyagalidde? Byonna biva gy’oli, era tukuwadde ku bibyo. Ffe tuli bagenyi era abatambuze mu maaso go, nga bajjajjaffe bonna bwe baali, n’ennaku zaffe ez’oku nsi ziri ng’ekisiikirize, awatali ssuubi. Era Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, ebintu bino byonna bye tuwaddeyo olw’okuzimba eyeekaalu ku lw’erinnya lyo, biva gy’oli, era byonna bibyo.

Era kaakano ndabye abantu bo nga bakuwa n’essanyu n’omwoyo gumu. (1 Ebyomumirembe 29:14-17)

Kaakano tubategeeza abooluganda, ekisa kya Katonda ekyaweebwa ekkanisa z’e Makedoniya. Mu kugezesebwa okw’okubonaabona, baagattika essanyu lyabwe ery’ekitalo n’obwavu bwabwe obungi, ne bafunamu okugaba okwewuunyizibwa ennyo.

Kubanga muwaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi ku buli kintu, ne ku buli kika kya muddo oguwunyisa obulungi era oguwoomesa enva, okutuukira ddala ne ku kalagala akasinga obutono, naye ne mulagajjalira ebintu ebisinga obukulu eby’amateeka, ng’obwenkanya, n’okusaasira n’okukkiriza.

Aberi naye n’aleeta ku baana b’endiga ze ababereberye n’amasavu gaazo. Mukama n’asiima Aberi n’ekiweebwayo kye. (Olubereberye 4:4)

Olw’okukkiriza Aberi yawaayo Ssaddaaka esinga obulungi eri Katonda okusinga eya Kayini gye yawaayo, era ne kimubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu, Katonda ng’amuweerwa obujulirwa olw’ebirabo bye, era newaakubadde nga Aberi yafa, akyayogera. (Abaebbulaniya 11:4)

Mukama n’asiima Aberi n’ekiweebwayo kye. Naye teyasiima Kayini wadde ekiweebwayo kye. Awo Kayini n’asunguwala nnyo, n’endabika y’amaaso ge n’ewaanyisibwa. (Olubereberye 4:3-5)

Kale mmwe mugende e Beseri mukoleyo ebitasaana; era mugende ne Girugaali mwongere okukola ebibi. Mutwalengayo ssaddaaka zammwe buli nkya, n’ekimu eky’ekkumi buli myaka esatu. Muweeyo ekiweebwayo eky’okwebaza eky’emigaati egizimbulukusibbwa, mulangirire n’ebiweebwayo eby’ekyeyagalire; mwe mwenyumiririza, mmwe Abayisirayiri kubanga ekyo kye mwagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna. “Nabaleetera enjala embuto zammwe ne ziba njereere mu buli kibuga, ne ssibawa kyakulya mu buli kabuga, naye era ne mugaana okudda gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama. (Amosi 4:4-6)

Weewaawo, ne bwe munaawaayo gye ndi ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere ey’empeke, sijja kubikkiriza. Ne bwe mulireeta ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe ebisinga obulungi, siribikkiriza. Kye njagala okulaba ge mazima n’obwenkanya nga bikulukuta ng’amazzi, n’obutuukirivu nga bukulukuta ng’omugga ogw’amaanyi. (Amosi 5:22, 24)

Muyimusizza essabo lya kabaka wammwe, amaanyi ga bakatonda bammwe, n’emmunyeenye ya katonda wammwe, bye mwekolera mmwe. Kyendiva mbawaŋŋangusa okusukka Ddamasiko,” bw’ayogera Mukama, ayitibwa Katonda Ayinzabyonna. (Amosi 5:25-27)

Ekirala kye mukola kye kino: Ekyoto kya Mukama mukijjuzza amaziga, nga mukaaba nga mukuba ebiwoobe kubanga ebiweebwayo byammwe takyabifaako. Kale mubuuza nti, “Lwaki tabifaako?” Kubanga Mukama yali mujulirwa wakati wo ne mukazi wo ow’omu buvubuka bwo, naye ggwe tewali mwesigwa, ng’olimbalimba newaakubadde nga yali munno era mukazi wo gwe walagaana naye endagaano.

Naye Peetero n’agamba Ananiya nti, “Ananiya, lwaki Setaani ajjudde mu mutima gwo, n’okulimba n’olimba Mwoyo Mutukuvu ne weeterekerako ku muwendo gw’ennimiro? Teyali yiyo? Era bwe yamala okutundibwa, teyali mu buyinza bwo? Lwaki ekikolwa ekyo kikujjidde mu mutima gwo? Tolimbye bantu wabula olimbye Katonda.” Ananiya olwawulira ebigambo ebyo n’agwa eri n’afiirawo! Bonna abaawulira ebyo ne bakwatibwa entiisa ya maanyi. Abavubuka ne bayimuka ne bamuzinga, ne bamutwala ne bamuziika. Bwe waali wayiseewo essaawa nga ssatu, mukyala we naye n’ayingira, kyokka nga tategedde bibaddewo. Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mbuulira, omuwendo guno gwe gwo gwe mwaggya mu nnimiro gye mwatunda?” Omukyala n’addamu nti, “Yee, gwe guugwo.” Awo Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki mwateesezza okukema Omwoyo wa Mukama? Laba, ebigere by’abo abaziise balo biri ku mulyango naawe bagenda kukutwala.” Amangwago n’agwa wansi ku bigere bya Peetero n’afiirawo. Abavubuka bwe baayingira ne bamusanga ng’afudde ne bamutwala ne bamuziika okuliraana bba. (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 5:1-10)

Kubanga obugagga bwo gye buli, n’omutima gwo gye gunaabeeranga. (Lukka 12:34)

Okweyongera mu ggulu

Naye mweterekerenga obugagga bwammwe mu ggulu gye butayinza kwonoonebwa nnyenje wadde obutalagge, n’ababbi gye batayinza kuyingira kububba. (Matayo 6:20)

Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Obanga oyagala okuba omutuukirivu genda otunde ebibyo, ensimbi ozigabire abaavu, kale oliba n’obugagga mu ggulu, olyoke ojje ongoberere.” (Matayo 19:21)

Mutunde ebintu byammwe, ensimbi ze muggyamu muzigabire abo abeetaaga, mwetungire ensawo ezitakaddiwa era mweterekere mu ggulu mu tterekero eritaggwaamu bintu, omubbi gy’atasembera wadde ennyenje gye zitayonoonera. (Lukka 12:33)

“Yogera n’Abaleevi obagambe nti, ‘Bwe munaafunanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi, bye mbawadde ng’omugabo gwammwe, nga mubiggya ku baana ba Isirayiri, munaggyangako ekitundu eky’ekkumi ne mukireeta nga kye kiweebwayo kyammwe eri Mukama Katonda. (Okubala 18:26)

Soogera kino lwa kubanga njagala okufuna ekirabo, wabula kye njagala kwe kulaba ng’ekibala kyeyongera ku lwammwe. (Abafiripi 4:17)

Okuutirenga abagagga ab’omu mirembe gya kaakano, obuteekuluntaza, wadde okwesiga obugagga kubanga si bwa lubeerera, wabula beesige Katonda atuwa byonna olw’okwesanyusanga, bakole ebirungi, babe bagagga mu bikolwa ebirungi, nga bagabi, era abaagala okugabana n’abalala. Bwe batyo beeterekere obugagga obw’engeri eyo nga gwe musingi omulungi ogw’ebiseera ebigenda okujja, balyoke banywezenga obulamu bwennyini. (1 Timoseewo 6:17-19)

Okweyongera ku nsi

Buli myaka esatu, ku buli nkomerero ya mwaka ogwokusatu, onooleetanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna ebyo eby’ebibala byo byonna eby’omwaka ogwo, n’obiterekanga mu mawanika mu bibuga byo. Kale nno, Omuleevi kubanga taabenga na mugabo wadde ebyobusika nga ggwe, ne bamulekwa abatalina bakitaabwe ne nnamwandu; abo bonna abanaabanga babeera mu bibuga byo, bajjenga balye okutuusa lwe banakkutanga; bw’atyo Mukama Katonda wo alyoke akuwenga omukisa mu buli kimu kyonna ky’onookolanga n’emikono gyo. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 14:28-29)

Azaliya kabona asinga obukulu ow’omu nnyumba ya Zadooki n’amuddamu nti, “Okuva abantu lwe baatandika okuleeta ebirabo byabwe mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, tubadde n’ebyokulya ebiwera n’ebirala ne bifikkawo, kubanga Mukama awadde abantu be omukisa, n’ebifisseewo bye bino obungi.” (2 Ebyomumirembe 31:10)

Mukama mugulumizenga n’eby’obugagga byo; n’ebibala ebisooka eby’ebintu byo byonna eby’omu nnimiro yo, olwo amaterekero go lwe ganajjulanga ebintu enkumu, era n’amasenero go ne gajjula ne gabooga omwenge omusu. (Engero 3:9-10)

Omuntu agaba obuteerekereza, yeeyongera bweyongezi kugaggawala; naye akwatirira kye yandigabye, yeeyongera kwavuwala. Omuntu agaba anagaggawalanga, n’oyo ayamba talibulako amuyamba. (Engero 11:24-25)

Siganga emmere yo ng’enkuba etonnya, kubanga ebbanga lyayo bwe lirituuka olikungula. (Omubuulizi 11:1)

Mugabenga nammwe muliweebwa. Ekigera ekirungi ekikattiddwa, ekisuukundiddwa, eky’omuyiika kiribakwasibwa. Kubanga ekigera kye mugereramu nammwe mwe muligererwa.” (Lukka 6:38)

Naye mujjukire nti, “Asiga ekitono alikungula kitono, naye asiga ekinene alikungula kinene.” Buli omu akola nga bw’asazeewo mu mutima gwe, si lwa nnaku, newaakubadde olw’okuwalirizibwa, kubanga Katonda ayagala oyo agaba n’essanyu. Katonda ayinza okwaza ekisa kyonna gye muli, bulijjo mubeerenga n’ebibamala byonna mu buli kintu nga musukkirira mu mulimu gwonna omulungi, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Yasaasaanya, yagabira abaavu. Obutuukirivu bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Kubanga oyo awa omulimi ensigo okusiga, ate n’amuwa n’emmere ey’okulya, anaayazanga ensigo yammwe era n’agyongerako, era anaayongeranga ebibala eby’obutuukirivu. Anaabagaggawazanga mu buli kintu, ekyebazisa Katonda mu ffe. (2 Abakkolinso 9:6-11)

Kale ne Katonda wange alibawa buli kye mwetaaga ng’obugagga bwe obungi obuli mu Kristo Yesu bwe buli. (Abafiripi 4:19)

Okusoomoozebwa okugezesa Mukama olw'okweyongera mu bintu

Muleete ekimu eky’ekkumi ekijjuvu mu nnyumba yange, ennyumba yange ebeeremu emmere, era mungezese,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, “obanga siribaggulirawo ebituli eby’omu ggulu, ne mbawa omukisa ne gutabaako ne we guligya. (Malaki 3:10)

Okweyongera kw'emikisa

Ebisinga obulungi ku bibala byonna ebisooka ebya buli kika n’ebirabo byonna eby’omuwendo binaabanga bya bakabona. Munaabawanga obutta bwammwe obwasooka okugoyebwa, omukisa gubeerenga ku nnyumba zammwe. (Ezeekyeri 44:30)

Mu kiseera ekyo, omukulu w’ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi, yalina omuddu we gwe yali ayagala ennyo, yali mulwadde nnyo ng’ali kumpi n’okufa. Omukulu w’ekitongole oyo bwe yawulira ebifa ku Yesu, n’atuma abamu ku bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya eri Yesu bamusabe ajje awonye omuddu we. Bwe baatuuka eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Omusajja ono asaanira okuyambibwa nga bw’akusabye, kubanga ayagala nnyo eggwanga lyaffe, era ye yatuzimbira ne kkuŋŋaaniro lyaffe!” (Lukka 7:2-5)

Mu kibuga Yopa mwalimu omuyigirizwa ayitibwa Tabbiisa, mu Luyonaani ng’ayitibwa Doluka. Yali mukkiriza, bulijjo eyakoleranga abalala ebyekisa n’okusingira ddala abaavu. Mu kiseera ekyo n’alwala nnyo era n’afa. Ne bateekateeka omulambo gwe ne bagugalamiza mu kisenge ekya waggulu. Peetero n’abasaba bonna bafulume, n’afukamira n’asaba. N’akyukira omulambo n’ayogera nti, “Tabbiisa golokoka.” Tabbiisa n’azibula amaaso, era bwe yalaba Peetero n’atuula. (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 9:36-37, 40)

Awo mu kibuga Kayisaliya mwalimu omusajja omuserikale, erinnya lye Koluneeriyo, eyakuliranga ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi ekyayitibwanga Ekitaliano. Yali ayagala nnyo Katonda era ng’amusaamu nnyo ekitiibwa, ye n’ab’omu maka ge bonna, ng’agabira nnyo abaavu, era ng’asaba Katonda bulijjo. Lwali lumu ku ssaawa nga mwenda ez’olweggulo, n’ayolesebwa, n’alabira ddala malayika wa Katonda ng’ajja gy’ali, n’amuyita nti, “Koluneeriyo!” Koluneeriyo n’amutunuulira enkaliriza ng’atidde nnyo. N’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, ogamba ki?” Malayika n’amuddamu nti, “Katonda awulidde okusaba kwo era alabye nga bw’ogabira abaavu bw’atyo n’akujjukira. N’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Koluneeriyo, Katonda awulidde okusaba kwo, era ajjukidde ebirabo byo by’ogabira abaavu. (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 10:1-4, 31)

Kigero ki eky'okugaba

Ekimu eky'ekkumi

Nga tewannabaawo mateeka

Era Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo agulumizibwe agabudde abalabe bo mu mikono gyo.” Awo Ibulaamu n’amuwa ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya buli kimu. (Olubereberye 14:20)

Awo Yakobo ne yeerayirira ng’agamba nti, “Katonda bw’alibeera nange, n’ankuuma mu lugendo luno lwe ndiko, n’ampa emmere okulya era n’ebyokwambala ne nkomawo mirembe mu nnyumba ya kitange, olwo Mukama n’aba Katonda wange. Era ejjinja lino lye nsimbye okuba empagi liriba nnyumba ya Katonda, era n’ebyo byonna by’ompa ndikuwaako ekimu eky’ekkumi.” (Olubereberye 28:20-22)

Wansi w'amateeka

“Buli kitundu eky’ekkumi ekiva mu nsi, gamba ku mmere ey’empeke eva mu ttaka, oba ku bibala ebiva ku miti, kya Mukama Katonda, era kitukuvu eri Mukama Katonda. Omuntu anaayagalanga okununula ku bitundu bye eby’ekkumi, anaagatangako ekitundu kimu kyakutaano ku muwendo gwakyo. Ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna ebyamagana g’ente n’eby’ebisibo by’endiga, kwe kugamba nti buli nsolo omusumba gy’anaabalanga nga ya kkumi, eneebanga ntukuvu eri Mukama Katonda. (Ebyabaleevi 27:30-32)

Obutawaayo kimu kya kkumi kyatwalibwa ng'okubba Katonda

“Omuntu alinyaga Katonda? “Naye mmwe munnyaga. Kyokka mugamba nti, ‘Tukunyaga tutya?’ “Mu biweebwayo ne mu kimu eky’ekkumi. Mukolimiddwa ekikolimo ekyo, kubanga mmwe, eggwanga lyonna munnyaga nze. (Malaki 3:8-9)

Ekimu eky'ekkumi kyaliibwanga mu maaso ga Mukama

Buli lw’onookungulanga ebibala byo nga biva mu nnimiro yo buli mwaka, weegenderezanga n’ossangako wabbali ekitundu kyabyo eky’ekkumi. Onoolyanga ekitundu eky’ekkumi eky’emmere y’empeke, n’ekya wayini omusu, n’eky’amafuta, n’eky’ebibereberye eby’ebisibo byo n’eby’amagana go. Onookiriiranga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo mu kifo ky’anaabanga yeerondedde eky’okubeerangamu Erinnya lye, olyokenga oyige okutyanga Mukama Katonda wo bulijjo. Naye Mukama ng’akuwadde omukisa, kyokka ng’ekifo ekyo kye yeerondera okubeerangamu Erinnya lye kiri wala n’ewuwo, noolwekyo nga toosobolenga kwetikka ekitundu eky’ekkumi okukituusangayo, kale nno, onookiwaanyisangamu omuwendo gw’ensimbi. Onoogendanga n’ensimbi ezo ng’ozinywezezza mu mukono gwo mu kifo Mukama Katonda wo kye yeerondera. Ensimbi ezo onoozeegulirangamu ekintu kyonna ky’onooyagalanga: gamba ente, oba endiga, oba envinnyo, oba ekyokunywa ekitamiiza, oba ekintu kyonna ky’onooyagalanga. Ggwe awamu n’ab’omu maka go bonna munaaliiranga awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo nga musanyuka. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 14:22-26)

Ekimu eky'ekkumi kyaweebwangayo okuyamba Abaleevi n'abaavu

“Ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeeranga omugabo gwabwe nga ye mpeera yaabwe olw’omulimu gwe bakola nga baweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Era okuva leero abaana ba Isirayiri tebaasembererenga Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, si kulwa nga bakolerayo ebibi, ne bafa. Abaleevi be banaakolanga emirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, era be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwe banaakolerangayo ebibi. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ne mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egigenda okujja. Tebaafunenga byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri. Kubanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeera omugabo gwabwe. Noolwekyo tebaabenga na byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri.” (Okubala 18:21-24)

Mu mwaka ogwokusatu bw’onoomalanga okuggyako ku makungula go ekitundu eky’ekkumi n’okissa wabbali, kubanga ogwo gwe mwaka ogw’ekitundu eky’ekkumi, onoddiranga ekitundu ekyo n’okiwa Abaleevi, ne bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa, ne bannamwandu, ne baliiranga mu bibuga byo ne bakkuta. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 26:12)

N’alagira abantu abaabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi okuwangayo omugabo nga bwe kyali kibagwanira eri bakabona n’Abaleevi, nabo beeweerengayo ddala nga bwe kyalagirwa mu tteeka lya Mukama. Awo ekiragiro ekyo bwe kyabuna wonna, amangwago Abayisirayiri ne bawaayo ku bibala byabwe ebibereberye bingi eby’eŋŋaano, n’ebya wayini omusu, n’eby’amafuta, n’eby’omubisi gw’enjuki ne ku ebyo byonna ebyava mu nnimiro. Ne baleeta bingi nnyo, ekitundu eky’ekkumi ku buli kintu. Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda abaabeeranga mu bibuga bya Yuda, nabo ne baleeta ekimu eky’ekkumi ku nte n’endiga, n’ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’ebintu ebyatukuzibwa ebyayawulirwa Mukama Katonda waabwe, ne babituuma entuumo. Baatandika okutuuma ebintu ebyo entuumo mu mwezi ogwokusatu ne bamaliriza mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu. Awo Keezeekiya n’abakungu be, bwe bajja ne balaba entuumo ne beebaza Mukama, ne basabira n’abantu be, Isirayiri, omukisa. Keezeekiya n’abuuza bakabona n’Abaleevi ebikwata ku ntuumu. Azaliya kabona asinga obukulu ow’omu nnyumba ya Zadooki n’amuddamu nti, “Okuva abantu lwe baatandika okuleeta ebirabo byabwe mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, tubadde n’ebyokulya ebiwera n’ebirala ne bifikkawo, kubanga Mukama awadde abantu be omukisa, n’ebifisseewo bye bino obungi.” Awo Keezeekiya n’alagira bateeketeeke amaterekero mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne bagateekateeka. Ne balyoka baleeta ebirabo, ebintu eby’ekimu eky’ekkumi, n’ebintu ebyatukuzibwa. Konaniya Omuleevi ye yavunaanyizibwanga ebintu ebyo, ate nga Simeeyi muganda we ye mumyuka we. (2 Ebyomumirembe 31:4-12)

“Tunaaleetanga mu mawanika g’ennyumba ya Katonda waffe, eri bakabona, ekitole ekibereberye ku mmere gye tunaabanga tugoyezza, ne ku biweebwayo byaffe, ne ku bibala ebya buli muti gwaffe ebiriibwa, ne ku wayini waffe, ne ku mafuta. Ate era tunaaleeteranga Abaleevi ekimu eky’ekkumi ku bimera byaffe, kubanga Abaleevi be bakuŋŋaanya ebitundu eby’ekkumi mu byalo byaffe byonna gye tulimira. Kabona, ow’omu lulyo lwa Alooni, yanaawerekeranga abaleevi, bwe banaabanga bagenze okukima ebitundu eby’ekkumi, era Abaleevi banaaleetanga kimu kya kkumi ku bitundu eby’ekkumi mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, mu bisenge, mu mawanika. (Nekkemiya 10:37-38)

Ne ntegeezebwa ng’emigabo gy’Abaleevi nagyo gyali tegibaweerebbwa, era nga n’Abaleevi bonna awamu n’abayimbi baali bazzeeyo mu bibanja byabwe. Kyenava nnenya abakungu ne mbabuuza nti, “Lwaki ennyumba ya Katonda terabiriddwa?” Bonna ne mbayita ne mbagamba bakomewo mu bifo mwe baabeeranga. (Nekkemiya 13:10-11)

Abaleevi baali balina okuwaayo ekimu eky'ekkumi ku ekyo kye baafunanga

Ekimu eky'ekkumi mu Ndagaano Empya

Obukulu bw'obwakabona bwa Merukizeddeeki

Merukizeddeeki yali kabaka w’e Ssaalemi, era yali kabona wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo. Ibulayimu bwe yali ng’ava mu lutalo mwe yattira bakabaka, Merukizeddeeki n’amusisinkana, n’amusabira omukisa. Ne Ibulayimu n’awa Merukizeddeeki ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya byonna bye yanyaga. Okusooka erinnya Merukizeddeeki litegeeza nti Kabaka ow’Obutuukirivu. Ate era litegeeza kabaka w’e Ssaalemi ekitegeeza nti ye kabaka ow’emirembe. Kale mulabe Merukizeddeeki oyo nga bwe yali omukulu! Ibulayimu jjajjaffe yamuwa ekimu eky’ekkumi ekya byonna bye yanyaga. N’abo abazzukulu ba Leevi abaaweebwa obwakabona, balagirwa okusoloozanga ekimu eky’ekkumi ng’etteeka bwe ligamba, newaakubadde nga baava mu ntumbwe za Ibulayimu, kwe kugamba nti nabo baganda baabwe. Naye oyo ataabalibwa mu kika kyabwe, yafuna ekimu eky’ekkumi okuva eri Ibulayimu, Merukizeddeeki n’asabira omukisa oyo eyalina ebyasuubizibwa. Tewali kubuusabuusa omukulu y’asabira omuto omukisa. Mu ngeri emu, ekimu eky’ekkumi kiweebwa eri abantu abafa, naye mu ngeri endala, kiweebwa eri oyo akakasibwa nga mulamu. Noolwekyo ka tugambe nti okuyita mu Ibulayimu, ne Leevi aweebwa ekimu eky’ekkumi, naye yawaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi. (Abaebbulaniya 7:1-2, 4-9)

Ekimu eky'ekkumi mu ggwanika

Awo Keezeekiya n’alagira bateeketeeke amaterekero mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne bagateekateeka. Ne balyoka baleeta ebirabo, ebintu eby’ekimu eky’ekkumi, n’ebintu ebyatukuzibwa. Konaniya Omuleevi ye yavunaanyizibwanga ebintu ebyo, ate nga Simeeyi muganda we ye mumyuka we. (2 Ebyomumirembe 31:11-12)

Kabona, ow’omu lulyo lwa Alooni, yanaawerekeranga abaleevi, bwe banaabanga bagenze okukima ebitundu eby’ekkumi, era Abaleevi banaaleetanga kimu kya kkumi ku bitundu eby’ekkumi mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, mu bisenge, mu mawanika. (Nekkemiya 10:38)

Mu kiseera ekyo, abantu ne balondebwa okulabiriranga amawanika omwaterekebwanga ebyaleetebwanga, nga mwe muli ebibala ebibereberye, ne kimu kya kkumi, nga bireetebwa okuva mu bibanja ebyetoolodde ebibuga, nga bwe kyalagibwa mu Mateeka, ne biweebwa bakabona n’Abaleevi. Yuda baali basanyufu olw’obuweereza bwa bakabona awamu n’obw’Abaleevi. (Nekkemiya 12:44)

Yuda yenna ne baleeta ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’emmere ey’empeke ne wayini omuggya n’omuzigo, ne babiteeka mu mawanika. (Nekkemiya 13:12)

Okugaba okusinziira ku Katonda bw'akuwa omukisa

Kale nno onookwatanga Embaga ya Wiiki ezo ng’oleetera Mukama Katonda wo ekiweebwayo ekya kyeyagalire ekinaavanga mu ngalo zo, ng’emikisa bwe ginaabeeranga Mukama Katonda wo gy’anaabanga akuwadde. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 16:10)

Abasajja bonna mu mmwe banaakuŋŋaananga emirundi esatu buli mwaka, mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo, mu kifo ky’aneeronderanga, ku Mbaga y’Emigaati Egitali Mizimbulukuse, ne ku Mbaga eya Wiiki Omusanvu, ne ku Mbaga ey’Ensiisira. Tewaabengawo n’omu anajjanga engalo enjereere awali Mukama. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 16:16)

Buli omu ku mmwe ng’asinziira ku kufuna kwe mu wiiki, abengako ky’atereka, ebintu bireme kukuŋŋaanyizibwa nga nzize. (1 Abakkolinso 16:2)

Eby'okulabirako eby'okugaba okusinziira ku busobozi

Ne bawaayo mu ggwanika ng’obusobozi bwabwe bwe bwali; ne bawaayo kilo bitaano eza zaabu (500), ne tani ssatu (3), n’ebyambalo bya bakabona kikumi (100) mu ggwanika. (Ezera 2:69)

Awo abayigirizwa ne bamalirira okuweereza obuyambi eri abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya, buli muntu nga yeesonda nga bwe yasobola, (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 11:29)

Ekirabo ekikkirizibwa kye kigabibwa okusinziira ku busobozi bw'omuntu

Kuba obanga mulina obumalirivu nga buli muntu bw’alina, buli muntu aweeyo okusinziira ku ekyo ky’alina so si ky’atalina. (2 Abakkolinso 8:12)

Okugaba okw'okwefiiriza

Awo Yesu bwe yatuula okwolekera eggwanika ly’ensimbi, n’alaba engeri ekibiina ky’abantu gye bateekamu ensimbi mu ggwanika. Abagagga bangi baali bateekamu ensimbi nnyingi. Awo nnamwandu eyali omwavu n’ajja n’ateekamu ebitundu bibiri, ye kodulante. Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti nnamwandu oyo omwavu awaddeyo nnyo okusinga bonna bali abatadde mu ggwanika. Kubanga bonna bataddemu ku bibafikkiridde, naye ate nnamwandu ono mu kwetaaga kwe ataddemu kyonna ky’abadde nakyo, ekibadde kijja okumuyamba obulamu bwe bwonna.” (Makko 12:41-44)

Awo Yesu bwe yayimusa amaaso n’alaba abantu abagagga nga bateeka ebirabo byabwe mu ggwanika mu Yeekaalu. N’alaba nnamwandu omwavu ng’awaayo busente bubiri. N’agamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti nnamwandu oyo omwavu agabye okusinga bali abagagga bonna. Kubanga bagabye kitono nga bakiggya ku bugagga bwe bafisizzaawo, naye nnamwandu mu bwavu bwe awaddeyo kyonna ky’alina.” (Lukka 21:1-4)

Tomuwanga kintu ekitakufiiriza kintu

Alawuna n’abuuza nti, “Kiki ekireese mukama wange kabaka eri omuddu we?” Dawudi n’addamu nti, “Nzize okugula egguuliro lyo, nzimbire Mukama ekyoto, kawumpuli aleke okubuna mu bantu.” Alawuna n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Mukama wange kabaka atwale kyonna ky’anaasiima akiweeyo. Ente ziizo ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ebintu ebiwuula n’ebikoligo by’ente byonna mbiwaddeyo okuba enku. Ebyo byonna, Alawuna abiwaddeyo eri kabaka.” Alawuna n’ayongerako nti, “Olabe ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.” Naye kabaka n’agamba Alawuna nti, “Nedda, nzija kulisasulira. Sijja kuwaayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wange, nga sisasulidde muwendo.” Awo Dawudi n’asasulira egguuliro n’ente, omuwendo ogw’enkana effeeza, gulaamu lukaaga. (2 Samwiri 24:21-24)

Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Mpa ekifo egguuliro lyo mwe liri, nzimbire Mukama ekyoto, nange n’asasula omuwendo gwakyo gwonna, kawumpuli ave ku bantu.” Olunaani n’addamu Dawudi nti, “Kitwale! Mukama wange kabaka akole nga bw’asiima. Laba, nzija kukuwa ziseddume z’onoowaayo ng’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebintu ebiwuula ng’enku, n’eŋŋaano okuba ekiweebwayo eky’obutta. Ebyo byonna nzija kubikuwa.” Naye Dawudi n’agamba Olunaani nti, “Nedda, maliridde okusasula omuwendo omujjuvu. Sijja kutwalira Mukama ekikyo, wadde okuwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa bye sisasulidde.” (1 Ebyomumirembe 21:22-24)

Okukolimirwa ng'ogaba ekibbe oba ekirina obulema

“Omwana assaamu kitaawe ekitiibwa, n’omuddu atya mukama we. Kale obanga ddala ndi kitammwe, ekitiibwa kye munzisaamu kiri ludda wa? Era obanga ndi mukama wammwe, lwaki temuntya?” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. Mukama ow’Eggye bw’abagamba mmwe nti, “Mmwe bakabona munyooma erinnya lyange. “Ne mubuuza nti, ‘Twayonoona tutya?’ “Muwaayo ku kyoto kyange emmere eyonoonese. “Kyokka ne mwebuuza nti, ‘Twakwonoona tutya?’ “Kubanga olujjuliro lwange mulufuula ekitagasa. Bwe muwaayo ensolo enzibe z’amaaso okuba ssaddaaka, muba temukoze kibi? Ate bwe muwaayo eziwenyera oba endwadde, ekyo si kibi? Kale nno mugezeeko okuzitonera omufuzi wammwe, anaabasanyukira? Ye anaafaayo okukutunulako?” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. “Kale nno mbasaba mwegayirire Katonda, atukwatirwe ekisa, kubanga ebyo ffe twabyereetera. Nga muleese ebiweebwayo ebifaanana bityo, waliwo n’omu gw’ayinza okukkiriza?” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. “Kale waakiri singa omu ku bakabona aggalawo enzigi muleme okukuma omuliro ku kyoto kyange ogw’obwereere!

Kubanga waliwo bangi abawakana, aboogera ebitaliimu era abalimba, n’okusingira ddala abo ab’omu bakomole. Basaanye okusirisibwa, kubanga boonoona buli maka, nga bayigiriza ebitabagwanidde, balyoke beefunire amagoba ag’obukuusa. (Tito 1:10-11)

Naye waaliwo ne bannabbi ab’obulimba mu bantu, era nga bwe walibaawo abayigiriza ab’obulimba mu mmwe. Baliyingiza mu nkiso enjigiriza enkyamu etwala abantu mu kuzikirira. Balyegaana ne Mukama waffe, ne beereetako okuzikirira okw’amangu. balibafunamu amagoba mangi nga bakozesa ebigambo eby’obulimba olw’omululu gwabwe. Abo Katonda yabasalira dda omusango era n’okuzikirizibwa kwabwe tekubuusibwabuusibwa. (2 Peetero 2:1, 3)

Abayigirizwa baakubirizibwa okwetegeka

Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Bwe nabatuma okubuulira Enjiri, ne mutatwala nsimbi wadde ensawo, oba omugogo omulala ogw’engatto, mwalina okwetaaga ekintu kyonna?” Ne baddamu nti, “Nedda.” Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Naye kaakano alina ensawo eterekebwamu ensimbi agitwale, n’ensawo ng’ey’omusabiriza bwe mutyo. Atalina kitala, atunde ku ngoye ze akyegulire! (Lukka 22:35-36)

Awatukuvu/yeekaalu

Okuzimba eweema ya Mukama

“Bino bye biweebwayo bye banaakukwasa: “zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ekikomo; n’olugoye olwa bbululu, n’olwa kakobe, n’olumyufu, n’olugoye olwa linena erangiddwa mu wuzi ennungi; n’obwoya bw’embuzi, n’amaliba g’endiga ennume amakunye amannyike mu langi emyufu, n’ekika ky’eddiba ekirala ekiwangaazi; n’embaawo z’omuti gwa akasiya; n’amafuta g’ettaala; n’ebyakaloosa eby’okukozesa mu mafuta ag’okwawula, ne mu bubaane obw’okunyookeza; n’amayinja aga onuku n’amayinja amalala ag’omuwendo, ag’okutona ku kkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, era ne ku kyomukifuba. “Bankolere ekifo ekitukuvu ndyoke mbeerenga wakati mu bo. (Okuva 25:3-8)

Baawaayo okusinga ebyali byetaagisa

Musa n’abakwasa ebirabo byonna abaana ba Isirayiri bye baali batonedde Mukama nga bwe baali beeyagalidde eby’okukozesa eweema ya Mukama. Abantu ne bongera okuleeta ku byabwe ebya kyeyagalire buli nkya. Awo abakozi bali abakugu abaali bakola eweema ya Mukama ne bava ku mirimu gyabwe, ne bajja eri Musa ne bamugamba nti, “Ebirabo abantu bye baleese bisukkiridde obungi ku ebyo ebyetaagibwa okumala omulimu Mukama gwe yalagira okukolebwa.” Awo Musa n’awa ekiragiro ne kibunyisibwa mu lusiisira lwonna nti, “Tewabaawo musajja oba mukazi ayongera okuleeta ekiweebwayo olw’omulimu gw’Eweema ya Mukama.” Bwe batyo abantu ne bagaanibwa okwongera okuwaayo; kubanga ebyo abakozi bye baalina byali bimala omulimu ogwo era n’okufikkawo. (Okuva 36:3-7)

Okuzimba yeekaalu

Ntegese olwa yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, zaabu olw’omulimu gwa zaabu, ne ffeeza olw’omulimu gwa ffeeza, n’ebikomo olw’omulimu ogw’ebikomo, n’ebyuma olw’omulimu ogw’ebyuma, n’embaawo olw’omulimu ogw’embaawo, amayinja aga onuku mangi n’amayinja ag’okutona, amayinja ag’omulimu ogw’enjola n’ag’amabala mangi, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi ag’engeri zonna, n’amayinja amanyirivu mangi nnyo. Okwongera kw’ebyo byonna, n’okwewaayo kwange olwa yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, mpaddeyo amawanika gange aga zaabu ne ffeeza ku lwa yeekaalu ya Katonda wange; ttani kikumi mu kkumi eza zaabu eya Ofiri, ne ttani bibiri mu nkaaga eza ffeeza omulongoosemu okugibissa ku bisenge by’ekizimbe, n’olw’omulimu ogwa zaabu n’ogwa ffeeza, n’omulimu gwonna ogunaakolebwa abafundi. Kale ani aneewaayo okwewonga leero eri Mukama?” Awo emitwe gy’ennyumba, n’abataka b’ebika bya Isirayiri, n’abaduumizi ab’olukumi n’ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga emirimu gya kabaka, ne beewaayo awatali kuwalirizibwa. Ne bawaayo zaabu ttani kikumi mu kyenda ne kilo kinaana mu nnya, ne ffeeza ttani bisatu mu nsanvu mu ttaano, n’ebikomo ttani lukaaga mu nsanvu mu ttaano, n’ebyuma ttani enkumi ssatu mu lusanvu mu ataano, olw’omulimu gwa yeekaalu ya Katonda. Abo abaalina amayinja ag’omuwendo, baagawaayo eri eggwanika lya yeekaalu ya Mukama, eyakuumibwanga Yekyeri Omugerusoni. (1 Ebyomumirembe 29:2-8)

Yeekaalu yawemmenta nnyo

Kabaka n’alagira bateme amayinja amanene ddala nga bagaggya mu kirombe ky’amayinja ag’omuwendo, okuzimba emisingi gya yeekaalu n’amayinja amateme obulungi. (1 Bassekabaka 5:17)

Okuddaabiriza yeekaalu

Awo Yekoyaasi n’agamba bakabona nti, “Mukuŋŋaanye ensimbi zonna ezireetebwa ng’ebiweebwayo ebitukuzibwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ensimbi ez’omusolo buli muntu z’awaayo, n’ensimbi buli muntu z’awaayo ng’endobolo mu yeekaalu, n’ensimbi buli muntu ze yeesalira kyeyagalire, n’azireeta mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’oluvannyuma buli kabona addire ezo z’akuŋŋaanyizza aziweeyo okuddaabiriza buli aweetaagisa ku yeekaalu.” Naye oluvannyuma lw’emyaka amakumi abiri mu esatu egy’obufuzi bwa kabaka Yekoyaasi, bakabona ne baba nga tebannaddaabiriza yeekaalu. Awo kabaka Yekoyaasi n’atumya Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu ne bakabona abalala, n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki ekibalobera okuddaabiriza yeekaalu? Kale nno, mulekeraawo okutoola ku nsimbi ezikuŋŋaanyizibwa, naye muziweeyo olw’okuddaabiriza yeekaalu.” Bakabona ne bakkiriziganya obutaddayo kukuŋŋaanya nsimbi ku bantu, wadde bo bennyini okuvunaanyizibwa okuddaabiriza yeekaalu. Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu n’addira essanduuko n’awumula ekituli mu kisaanikizo kyayo, n’agiteeka ku luuyi olwa ddyo okumpi n’ekyoto okuliraana n’awayingirirwa. Bakabona abaakuumanga omulyango ne bateekangamu ensimbi zonna ezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. Awo bwe baalabanga ng’ensimbi ezireeteddwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ziweze nnyingi mu ssanduuko, omuwandiisi wa kabaka ne kabona asinga obukulu ne bajjanga okuzibala n’okuzitereka. N’oluvannyuma ensimbi ezo baazikwasanga abasajja abaali baweereddwa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabiriranga omulimu ogwakolebwanga ku yeekaalu, bo ne basasulanga abakozi, n’abazimbi abaabulijjo, n’abazimbi b’amayinja, n’abatema amayinja, abo bonna nga baddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama. (2 Bassekabaka 12:4-11)

“Yambuka eri Kirukiya kabona Asinga obukulu, akutegeeze omuwendo gw’ensimbi ezireeteddwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama abaggazi ze basoloozezza ku bantu. Ensimbi ezo zikwasibwe abasajja abaalondebwa okulabirira omulimu ogwa yeekaalu basasule abakozi abaddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama, ababazzi, n’abazimbi, n’abaasa b’amayinja. Ate era baguleko n’embaawo n’amayinja amateme nga byonna bya kuddaabiriza yeekaalu. (2 Bassekabaka 22:4-6)

Bwe waayitawo ebbanga, Yowaasi n’ayagala okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama. N’ayita bakabona n’Abaleevi, n’abagamba nti, “Mugende mu bibuga bya Yuda, musolooze ensimbi eza buli mwaka okuva mu Isirayiri yenna, olw’okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama, era mutandikirewo.” Naye Abaleevi ne batakikolerawo. Awo kabaka n’atumya Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu, n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyakulobera okugamba Abaleevi, n’ekibiina kya Isirayiri ku lw’eweema ey’Obujulirwa, okuva eri Yuda ne Yerusaalemi okuleetanga omusolo, Musa omuddu wa Katonda gwe yalagira?” Mu biro eby’emabegako, batabani ba Asaliya, omukazi oli omubi, baali baamenya ne bayingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne bakozesa ebintu byonna ebyawongebwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, emirimu gya Baali. Awo kabaka n’alagira ne bakola essanduuko, ne bagissa ebweru wa wankaaki wa yeekaalu ya Mukama. Ekiragiro ne kiyita mu Yuda yonna ne mu Yerusaalemi yonna, okuleeteranga Mukama omusolo, Musa omuddu wa Katonda gwe yalagira Isirayiri nga bali mu ddungu. Abakungu bonna n’abantu bonna ne baleetanga omusolo ogwo nga basanyufu, ne baguteekanga mu ssanduuko, okutuusa lwe yajjulanga. Buli essanduuko bwe yaleetebwanga Abaleevi eri abakungu ba kabaka ne balaba ng’erimu sente nnyingi, omuwandiisi wa kabaka n’omukungu wa kabona asinga obukulu, baagitwalanga ne baziggyamu, ne bagikomyawo mu kifo kyayo. Kino baakikolanga buli lunaku, era ne bakuŋŋaanya ensimbi nnyingi. Kabaka ne Yekoyaada ne bazikwasa abo abaavunaanyizibwanga omulimu gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, bo ne bapangisa abaagula amayinja n’ababazzi okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’abalala baali baweesi ba byuma n’ebikomo era nabo nga baakuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama. Abasajja abaavunaanyizibwanga omulimu ogwo baali banyiikivu, era n’omulimu ogwo gwali mu mikono gyabwe, era ne baddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Katonda okutuuka ku mutindo gwayo ogugisaanira, ne baginyweza. (2 Ebyomumirembe 24:4-13)

Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’okufuga kwe ng’amaze okulongoosa ensi ne yeekaalu, n’alonda Safani mutabani wa Azaliya, ne Maaseya omwami w’ekibuga, ne Yowa mutabani wa Yowakazi omujjukiza, okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama Katonda we. Ne bagenda eri Kirukiya kabona asinga obukulu ne bawaayo ensimbi ezaaleetebwa mu yeekaalu ya Katonda, Abaleevi abaggazi ze baali basoloozezza mu bantu b’e Manase, ne Efulayimu, n’ekitundu kyonna ekyasigalawo, ne Yuda yonna, ne Benyamini, n’okuva eri abantu b’e Yerusaalemi. Ne bazikwasa abakozi abaalondebwa okulabirira omulimu gwa yeekaalu ya Mukama. Abo be basajja abaasasulanga abakozi abaddaabirizanga n’okulongoosa yeekaalu. Ababazzi n’abazimbi nabo ne baweebwa ensimbi okugula amayinja amawoole, n’embaawo ez’ebizimbe bakabaka ba Yuda bye baalagajjalira okuddaabiriza. (2 Ebyomumirembe 34:8-11)

Okuddamu okuzimba yeekaalu

Awo abakulu b’ennyumba z’abajjajjaabwe bwe baatuuka ku kifo ennyumba ya Mukama we yali mu Yerusaalemi, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo nga beeyagalidde, olw’okuddaabiriza ennyumba ya Katonda. Ne bawaayo mu ggwanika ng’obusobozi bwabwe bwe bwali; ne bawaayo kilo bitaano eza zaabu (500), ne tani ssatu (3), n’ebyambalo bya bakabona kikumi (100) mu ggwanika. (Ezera 2:68-69)

...ng’erina embu ssatu ez’amayinja amanene, n’olubu olulala nga lwa mbaawo. Omuwendo gwonna gwakusasulibwa okuva mu gwanika lya kabaka. (Ezera 6:4)

Ate era nteeka etteeka erikwata ku bye muteekwa okukolera abakulu abo ab’Abayudaaya nga bazimba yeekaalu ya Katonda: Ebirikozesebwa abasajja abo byonna, bya kusasulibwa okuva mu ggwanika lya Kabaka, ku misolo egiva emitala w’omugga Fulaati, omulimu guleme okuyimirira. (Ezera 6:8)

Okulabirira yeekaalu

“Tusuubiza obutafumbiza bawala baffe mu bantu abatwetoolodde, newaakubadde okukkiriza batabani baffe okuwasa bawala baabwe. Abantu ba Isirayiri okwo nga kw’otadde n’Abaleevi, banaaleetanga ebirabo byabwe eby’emmere ey’empeke, ne wayini omuggya, n’omuzigo mu mawanika, ebintu eby’omu kifo ekitukuvu gye biterekebwa, era bakabona abaweereza, n’abakuuma wankaaki n’abayimbi gye babeera. “Tetuulagajjalirenga nnyumba ya Katonda waffe.” (Nekkemiya 10:30, 39)

Ebika ebirala

Abo abasaba ekirabo

Akusaba omuwanga, n’oyo ayagala okukwewolako tomukubanga mabega.” (Matayo 5:42)

Omuntu yenna akusabanga omuwanga; era n’oyo akuggyangako ebintu byo tobimusabanga kubikuddizza. (Lukka 6:30)

Abantu bonna, naddala abakkiriza

Noolwekyo, buli lwe kinaabanga kisobose tukolerenga abantu bonna ebirungi, na ddala ab’omu nnyumba ey’okukkiriza. (Abaggalatiya 6:10)

...nga mwagalana mu kwagala okw’abooluganda, nga muwaŋŋana ekitiibwa, (Abaruumi 12:10)

Mufengayo ku byetaago by’abantu ba Katonda, era mwanirizenga abagenyi. (Abaruumi 12:13)

Abalabe

Omulabe wo bw’aba alumwa enjala, muwe emmere alye, bw’aba alumwa ennyonta muwe amazzi anywe. Kubanga oliba otuuma amanda g’omuliro ku mutwe gwe, era Mukama alikuwa empeera. (Engero 25:21-22)

“Noolwekyo omulabe wo bw’alumwanga enjala, muliisenga; bw’alumwanga ennyonta muwenga ekyokunywa, bw’okola bw’otyo olimukumira amanda g’omuliro ku mutwe gwe.” (Abaruumi 12:20)

Tomuwanga mutemu

Omuntu alumirizibwa olw’okutta munne, alibeera mu kutegana okutuusa okufa, tewabanga n’omu amuyamba. (Engero 28:17)

Okugabira abaavu

Ebiragiro bya Katonda n'endowooza ye ku kugabira abaavu

Olwokubanga mu nsi temuubulengamu baavu abali mu kwetaaga, kyenva nkulagira nti muganda wo omwavu era ali mu kwetaaga omwanjululizanga engalo zo bulijjo mu nsi yo. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 15:11)

Omuntu atulugunya abaavu anyooma oyo eyabatonda, naye buli abakwatirwa ekisa, agulumiza Katonda. (Engero 14:31)

Oyo akwatirwa omwavu ekisa awola Mukama, era Mukama alimusasula olw’ekikolwa kye ekyo. (Engero 19:17)

Kuno kwe kusiiba kwe nalonda; okusumulula enjegere ezinyigiriza abantu, n’okuggyawo emiguwa gy’ekikoligo, n’okuta abo abanyigirizibwa, n’okumenya buli kikoligo? Si kugabira bayala ku mmere yo, n’okusembeza abaavu abatalina maka mu nnyumba yo; bw’olaba ali obwereere, n’omwambaza n’otekweka baŋŋanda zo abeetaaga obuyambi bwo? Awo omusana gwo gulyoke guveeyo gwake ng’emmambya esala, era okuwonyezebwa kwo kujje mangu; obutuukirivu bwo bukukulembere, era ekitiibwa kya Katonda kikuveeko emabega. Olwo olikoowoola, Mukama n’akuddamu; olikaaba naye n’akuddamu nti, Ndi wano. “Bwe muliggyawo ekikoligo ekinyigiriza n’okusonga ennwe, n’okwogera n’ejjoogo; bw’olyewaayo okuyamba abayala n’odduukirira abali mu buzibu, olwo omusana gwo gulyaka n’ova mu kizikiza, ekibadde ekiro kifuuke ettuntu. (Isaaya 58:6-10)

“ ‘Guno gwe musango muganda wo Sodomu gwe yazza: ye ne bawala be baali baamalala, nga baamululu abatafaayo, wadde okuyamba abaavu abaali mu bwetaavu. (Ezeekyeri 16:49)

Enteekateeka z'Endagaano Enkadde eri abaavu

Amateeka g'okukungula n'okulonda ebisigadde

“Bw’okungulanga ekyengera eky’omu ttaka lyo, tokunguliranga ddala ebibala byonna eby’omu nnimiro yo okutuuka ku nkomerero zaayo, oba okukuŋŋaanya obubala obutonotono obunaabanga bugudde wansi ng’okungula. Ennimiro yo ey’emizabbibu togimalirangamu ddala bibala byonna, n’ebyo ebibanga bigudde wansi tobikuŋŋaanyanga. Obirekeranga abaavu ne bannamawanga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe. (Ebyabaleevi 19:9-10)

“Bwe munaakungulanga emmere mu ttaka lyammwe temugimalirangamu ddala okutuuka ku mbibiro z’ennimiro yammwe, wadde okukuŋŋaanyanga eneebanga ekunkumuse wansi nga mumaze okukungula. Eyo mugirekeranga abaavu ne bannamawanga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.” (Ebyabaleevi 23:22)

Bw’onookungulanga ebibala mu nnimiro yo ne weerabirayo ekinywa mu nnimiro, toddangayo kukikima. Onookirekeranga omunnaggwanga oba omwana omufuuzi oba nnamwandu; bw’atyo Mukama alyoke akuwenga omukisa mu byonna by’onookolanga. Bw’onookubanga emizeeyituuni okuva ku miti gyo, toddangayo ku matabi mulundi gwakubiri okumalirako ddala ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko. Ebyo binaabanga bya bannamawanga, n’abaana bamulekwa ne bannamwandu. Bw’onookungulanga emizabbibu okuva mu nnimiro yo, toddangamu mulundi gwakubiri. Ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko onoobirekeranga bannamawanga, ne bamulekwa ne bannamwandu. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 24:19-21)

Obuvunaanyizibwa obutaliiko kkomo obw'okutuukiriza ebyetaago

Bw’onoobanga oli mu bibuga by’omu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa, mu mmwe bwe munaabangamu munno omwavu ali mu kwetaaga tokakanyazanga mutima gwo wadde okukodowaliranga muganda wo oyo omwavu. Omwanjululizanga engalo zo, n’omuwolanga n’okwagala kyonna ky’anaabanga yeetaaga okumuwewulako obuzibu bwe. Weekuumenga nnyo olemenga kubeeranga na ndowooza eno embi mu mutima gwo nti, “Omwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’okusonyiwa amabanja gusembedde,” muganda wo n’omukwatirwa ettima n’otobaako ky’omuwa. Muganda wo ayinza okujulira eri Mukama n’osangibwanga ng’ogudde mu kibi. Muwenga n’okwagala n’obutajuliriranga, kubanga olw’omwoyo ng’ogwo, Mukama Katonda wo ajjanga kukuwanga omukisa mu mirimu gyo gyonna, ne mu buli kintu ky’onootuusangako engalo zo. (Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 15:7-10)

Embaga ya Pulimu

...era nga kye kiseera Abayudaaya kye baafunirako eddembe eri abalabe baabwe, ate era nga gwe mwezi obuyinike bwabwe lwe bwafuulibwa essanyu, n’okunakuwala kwabwe ne kukoma.

Omwaka gwa Jjubiri

Munaatukuzanga omwaka ogw’amakumi ataano, era munaalangiriranga ebiseera eby’eddembe eri abatuuze bonna mu ggwanga lyammwe. Omwaka ogwo gunaabanga gwa kujaguza gwa Jjubiri gye muli; buli omu anaddangayo mu kifo kye eky’obwannannyini, era buli omu anaddangayo mu kika kye. (Ebyabaleevi 25:10)

Eby'okulabirako eby'okugabira abaavu

...kubanga nawonyanga abaavu abaakaabiranga obuyambi, n’abatalina bakitaabwe abatalina abayamba. Omusajja ng’afa, y’ansabira omukisa, ne ndeetera omutima gwa nnamwandu okuyimba. Ne nnyambala obutuukirivu ng’engoye zange, obwenkanya bwe bwali omunagiro gwange era ekitambala kye neesiba ku mutwe. Nnali maaso g’abamuzibe era ebigere by’abalema. Nnali kitaawe w’abanaku, ne nneyama okuwolereza besimanyiiko. (Yobu 29:12-16)

“Obanga nnamma omwavu ekintu kyonna, era obanga nakaabya nnamwandu; obanga nnali ndidde akamere kange nzekka atalina kitaawe n’atalyako, kubanga okuva mu buto bwange namulera nga kitaawe, era okuva mu lubuto lwa mmange nayamba nnamwandu. Obanga nnali ndabye omuntu yenna ng’afa olw’okubulwa ebyambalo, oba ali mu kwetaaga atalina kye yeebikka; mpozzi omutima gwe, gwe gutansiima, olw’okumubugumya n’ebyoya by’endiga zange; obanga nayimusa omukono gwange eri abatalina bakitaabwe, kubanga mmanyi nti, mmanyiganye n’ab’obuyinza, kale omukono gwange gukutuke ku kibegabega kyange, leka gukutukireyo mu kinywa we guyungira. Olw’okutya okuzikirizibwa Katonda n’olw’obukulu bwe, nnali sisobola kukola bintu ng’ebyo. (Yobu 31:16-23)

Omukulembeze omutuukirivu

Anaalwaniriranga abaavu, n’atereeza abaana b’abo abeetaaga, n’omujoozi n’amusaanyaawo. (Zabbuli 72:4)

Kubanga anaawonyanga eyeetaaga bw’anaamukoowoolanga, n’omwavu ne kateeyamba ataliiko mwasirizi. Anaasaasiranga omunafu n’omwavu; n’awonya obulamu bwa kateeyamba. (Zabbuli 72:12-13)

Omukazi omwegendereza

Omukazi omwegendereza ani ayinza okumulaba? Wa muwendo nnyo okusinga amayinja ag’omuwendo ennyo. Ayanjululiza abaavu omukono gwe, n’agololera omukono gwe oyo ali mu bwetaavu. (Engero 31:10, 20)

Yesu Kristo yeegatta n'abaavu

“Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne bamalayika bonna nga bali naye, alituula ku ntebe ey’ekitiibwa kye. Awo amawanga gonna galikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu maaso ge era aligaawulamu ng’omusumba bw’ayawulamu endiga n’embuzi. Endiga aliziteeka ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’embuzi ku gwa kkono. “Awo Kabaka n’alyoka agamba abali ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo nti, ‘Mujje mmwe Kitange be yawa omukisa, musikire obwakabaka obwabateekerwateekerwa okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi. Kubanga nnali muyala ne mundiisa, nnali muyonta ne mumpa ekyokunywa, nnali mugenyi ne munnyaniriza, nnali bwereere ne munnyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne munnambula, nnali mu kkomera ne mujja okundaba.’ “Abatuukirivu ne bamubuuza nti, ‘Mukama waffe, twakulaba ddi ng’oli muyala ne tukuliisa?

Twakulaba ddi ng’oli mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera ne tukulambula?’ “Kabaka, alibaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bwe mwabikolera baganda bange bano abasembayo wansi kye kimu mwabikolera nze!’ “Bw’atyo aligamba abo abali ku mukono gwe ogwa kkono nti, ‘Muveewo, mmwe abakolimire, mulage mu muliro ogutazikira ogwateekerwateekerwa Setaani ne bamalayika be. Kubanga nnali muyala ne mutampa kyakulya, nnali muyonta ne mutampa kyakunywa, nnali mugenyi ne mutannyaniriza, nnali bwereere ne mutannyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne mu kkomera ne mutajja kunnambula.’ “Nabo baliddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe, twakulaba ddi ng’oli muyala oba ng’oli muyonta, oba ng’oli mugenyi oba ng’oli bwereere oba mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera, ne tutakuyamba?’ “Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘ddala ddala mbagamba nti, nga bwe mutaakikola omu ku bano abasembayo wansi, nange temwakinkola.’ (Matayo 25:31-45)

Yesu alaga eky'okulabirako eky'okugabira abaavu

Yuda bwe yamala okuweebwa ekitole ekyo, Setaani n’amuyingiramu. Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ky’okola kikole mangu!” Ku baali balya tewaali n’omu eyategeera kyeyava amugamba bw’atyo.

Eky'okulabirako eky'okuwa Katonda ekitiibwa mu kifo ky'okugabira abaavu

Awo Yesu bwe yali mu nnyumba ya Simooni Omugenge e Besaniya, ng’ali ku mmeeza, omukazi n’ajja gy’ali ng’alina eccupa y’amafuta ag’akaloosa ag’omuwendo omungi, n’agafuka ku mutwe gwa Yesu. Abayigirizwa be bwe baakiraba ne banyiiga. Ne bagamba nti, “Lwaki okwonoona amafuta ag’omuwendo gatyo! Kubanga yandisobodde okugatundamu ensimbi nnyingi n’azigabira abaavu.” Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mutawanya omukazi? Ankoledde ekintu ekirungi. Bulijjo abaavu muli nabo, naye nze sijja kuba nammwe bulijjo. Anfuseeko amafuta gano okuteekateeka omubiri gwange okuguziika. Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, bulijjo ajjanga kujjukirwa olw’ekikolwa kino. Ekikolwa ky’omukazi ono kijjanga kwogerwako wonna wonna mu nsi Enjiri gy’eneebuulirwanga.” (Matayo 26:6-13)

Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu ng’ali Besaniya mu nnyumba y’omusajja eyali amanyiddwa nga Simooni Omugenge, ng’atudde, omukazi n’ayingira ng’alina eccupa, eyalimu amafuta ag’akaloosa ag’omuwendo omungi. N’ayasa eccupa n’asiiga amafuta ku mutwe gwa Yesu. Abamu ku abo abaaliwo ne basunguwalira nnyo ekikolwa ekyo, nga beebuuza nti, “Amafuta ago gafudde ki? Wakiri singa gatundiddwa dinaali ezisukka mu bikumi ebisatu, ne ziweebwa abaavu!” Ne bamwemulugunyiza. Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Omukazi mumuleke. Lwaki mumuteganya? Ankoledde ekikolwa kirungi. Abaavu muli nabo bulijjo, era muyinza okubakolera obulungi buli we mwagalidde, naye Nze sijja kubeera nammwe bulijjo. (Makko 14:3-7)

Awo Maliyamu n’addira eccupa erimu amafuta amalungi ag’akaloosa ag’omugavu, ag’omuwendo omungi, n’agafuka ku bigere bya Yesu n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze. Ennyumba yonna n’ejjula akaloosa k’amafuta ago. Naye Yuda Isukalyoti, omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu, eyali ow’okumulyamu olukwe, n’agamba nti, “Lwaki amafuta ago tegatundiddwamu eddinaali ebikumi bisatu ne zigabirwa abaavu?” Yayogera bw’atyo si lwa kuba nti yali alumirwa nnyo abaavu, wabula Lwa kubanga yali mubbi.

Abaavu muli nabo bulijjo, naye Nze sijja kuba nammwe bulijjo.” (Yokaana 12:3-8)

Awo ekkumi n’ababiri ne bakuŋŋaanya ekibiina ky’abayigirizwa, ne babagamba nti, “Kirungi ebiseera byaffe tubimalire ku kubuulira Njiri, so si mu kugabanya mmere. Noolwekyo, abooluganda, mwerondemu abasajja musanvu, abasiimibwa abantu, ng’abantu b’amagezi, era abajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, tubakwase omulimu ogwo. (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 6:1-3)

Eddiini entuufu etaliiko bbala mu maaso ga Katonda Kitaffe, y’eyo ey’omuntu alabirira bamulekwa ne bannamwandu era nga yeekuuma ensi gy’alimu ereme kumuletako bbala. (Yakobo 1:27)

Ekiva mu ndowooza entuufu ku bwannannyini: tewali mwavu

Abakkiriza bonna baalina omwoyo gumu n’omutima gumu; nga tewali agamba nti kino kye nnina kyange ku bwange, wazira nga bonna bagabanira wamu. Awo abatume ne babuulira nnyo n’amaanyi mangi ku kuzuukira kwa Mukama waffe Yesu, era bonna ne bajjula ekisa kingi. (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 4:32-33)

Waaliwo enteekateeka abaavu okuwaayo ekitono

“ ‘Omuntu bw’anaabanga omwavu, nga tasobola kuleeta ndiga nto olw’obwavu bwe, anaaleetanga bukaamukuukulu bubiri oba enjiibwa ento bbiri eri Mukama, olw’ekibi omuntu oyo ky’akoze, nga ky’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ekimu nga kye ky’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi ekirala nga kye ky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa. “ ‘Omuntu oyo omwavu bw’anaabanga tasobola kuleeta bukaamukuukulu bubiri oba enjiibwa ento bbiri, anaaleetanga ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi kye, kimu kya kkumi ekya efa eky’obuwunga obulungi okuba ekiweebwayo kye olw’okwonoona. Taabuteekengamu mafuta wadde obubaane, kubanga kiweebwayo olw’ekibi. (Ebyabaleevi 5:7, 11)

“ ‘Ennaku z’omukazi oyo ez’okutukuzibwa bwe zinaggwangako, bw’anaabanga azadde omwana mulenzi oba muwala, anaaleetanga eri kabona ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, omwana gw’endiga oguwezezza omwaka gumu obukulu okuguwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, ng’enjiibwa ento oba ejjiba ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Bw’anaabanga tasobola kuwaayo mwana gwa ndiga, anaaleetanga bibiri bibiri ku bino: enjiibwa ento bbiri oba amayiba abiri, ekimu nga ky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’ekirala nga ky’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Mu ngeri eno kabona anaamutangiririranga, bw’atyo n’afuuka mulongoofu.’ ” (Ebyabaleevi 12:6, 8)

“Naye omuntu oyo bw’anaabanga omwavu ng’ebyo byonna tabisobola, anaaleetanga omwana gw’endiga omulume gumu okuba ekiweebwayo olw’omusango, ne kiwuubibwa okumutangiririranga, okwo n’agattirako ne kimu kya kkumi ekya efa eky’obuwunga obulungi ennyo obutabikiddwa mu mafuta, nga kye kiweebwayo eky’emmere y’empeke, n’agattako n’epakuli y’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni; n’amayiba abiri oba enjiibwa ento bbiri, ng’okufuna kwe bwe kunaamusobozesanga; emu eneebanga ya kiweebwayo olw’ekibi, endala nga ya kiweebwayo ekyokebwa. (Ebyabaleevi 14:21-22)

Era anaawangayo, ng’obusobozi bwe gye bunaakomanga, amayiba oba enjiibwa ento, ekinyonyi ekimu ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi n’ekyokubiri ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, ng’agattirako n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke. Kabona anaamutangiririranga oyo anaabanga azze okufuulibwa omulongoofu eri Mukama. Ago ge mateeka aganaagobererwanga omuntu omugenge anaabanga tasobola biweebwayo ebya bulijjo, alyoke afuuke omulongoofu.” (Ebyabaleevi 14:30-32)

Omuntu eyakola obweyamo bw’anaabanga omwavu ennyo atasobola kuleeta miwendo egyo gye wamusalira, anaayanjulwanga eri kabona; kale kabona anaamusaliranga omuwendo ogumugyamu ng’ageraageranya obusobozi bw’oyo eyeeyama nga bwe bunaabanga. (Ebyabaleevi 27:8)

Abazadde ba Yesu baali mu kibinja kino

Awo ekiseera bwe kyatuuka Maliyamu okugenda mu Yeekaalu atukuzibwe, ng’amateeka ga Musa bwe galagira ne batwala Yesu e Yerusaalemi okumuwaayo eri Mukama. Kubanga mu mateeka ago, Katonda yalagira nti, “Omwana omubereberye bw’anaabanga omulenzi, anaaweebwangayo eri Mukama.” Era mu kiseera kye kimu bakadde ba Yesu ne bawaayo ssaddaaka amateeka nga bwe galagira okuwaayo amayiba abiri oba enjiibwa bbiri. (Lukka 2:22-24)

Mu kubala abantu, abagagga n'abaavu baawaayo kye kimu

Okugabira abaavu kiyinza okuba obukakafu bw'obulokozi

Awo Zaakayo n’ayimirira n’agamba Mukama waffe nti, “Mukama wange! Mpuliriza! Ebintu byange nnaabigabanyaamu wakati, ekitundu ne nkiwa abaavu; era obanga waliwo omuntu gwe nnali ndyazaamaanyizza, nnaamuliyira emirundi ena.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olwa leero obulokozi buzze mu nnyumba muno, kubanga omusajja ono naye muzzukulu wa Ibulayimu. (Lukka 19:8-9)

Eby'okulabirako ebirala eby'okugaba (si eri Mukama)

Awo Isirayiri kitaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Bwe kinaaba bwe kityo, kale mukole bwe muti: mutwale ebimu ku bibala bya muno mu nsawo zammwe, mutwalire omusajja ekirabo: envumbo ntono, n’omubisi, n’omugavu, n’obubaane ne mooli n’ebinyeebwa ne Alumoni. Mutwale n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri nga mutwala na ziri ezaali ku mimwa gye nsawo zammwe, osanga omuntu yakola nsobi. Awo ne batwala ebirabo n’ensimbi za mirundi ebiri, ne Benyamini ne baserengeta naye e Misiri ne bayimirira mu maaso ga Yusufu. (Olubereberye 43:11-12, 15)

Mukama Katonda wo yeebazibwe akwenyumiririzaamu, era eyakuteeka ku ntebe yo ey’obwakabaka. Olw’okwagala kwa Katonda wo eri Isirayiri, era n’okwagala okubanyweza emirembe gyonna, kyeyava akufuula kabaka okubafuga, okukola obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu.” N’alyoka awa kabaka ettani nnya n’ekitundu eza zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa bingi nnyo nnyini, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Waali tewabangawo bya kaloosa bingi bwe bityo nga Kabaka omukazi w’e Seeba bye yawa kabaka Sulemaani. (2 Ebyomumirembe 9:8-9)

Yosiya n’agabira abantu abaabulijjo bonna abaaliwo endiga n’embuzi emitwalo esatu okuba ebiweebwayo olw’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, n’ente enkumi ssatu okuva mu byobugagga bwe. Abakungu be nabo, ku bwabwe ne bagabira abantu ne bakabona n’abaleevi ebintu. Kirukiya, ne Zekkaliya ne Yekyeri abaddukanyanga emirimu gya yeekaalu ya Mukama ne bawa bakabona abaana b’endiga n’ab’embuzi enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga, n’ente ebikumi bisatu.

(2 Ebyomumirembe 35:7-9)

Na buli Muyisirayiri eyasigalawo gy’ali, abantu abo baabeeramu, banaamuwa ffeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu n’ebisolo ebirundibwa, obutasaako ebiweebwayo bye bawaayo ku bwabwe ebya yeekaalu ya Katonda eri mu Yerusaalemi.’ ” Baliraanwa baabwe bonna ne babawa ebintu ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ebirala n’ebisolo ebirundibwa, n’ebirabo eby’omuwendo omungi, okwo nga kwe kuli ebiweebwayo bye baawaayo nga beeyagalidde.

Bakabaka b’e Talusiisi n’ab’oku bizinga eby’ewala bamuwenga omusolo; bakabaka b’e Syeba n’ab’e Seeba bamutonerenga ebirabo. (Zabbuli 72:10)

Wabula Yeremiya nga tannaba kukyuka kugenda, Nebuzaladaani n’ayongerako nti, “Ddayo eri Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu mutabani wa Safani, kabaka w’e Babulooni gw’afudde Gavana w’ebibuga bya Yuda, obeere naye mu bantu, oba genda yonna gy’osiima okubeera.” Awo omuduumizi w’abambowa n’amuwa ebyokulya n’ekirabo n’amuleka. (Yeremiya 40:5)

Okukkakkanya abalala

N’alyoka asula eyo ekiro ekyo, n’aggya ekirabo kya muganda we Esawu ku ebyo bye yalina: era mugambe nti, ‘Omuddu wo Yakobo tali wala naffe.’ ” Kubanga Yakobo yalowooza nti, “Nnaamuwooyawooya n’ekirabo ekinkulembedde, n’oluvannyuma nnaalaba amaaso ge, osanga tankole kabi.” (Olubereberye 32:13, 20)

Esawu n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Otegeezaaki olwa bino byonna bye nsanze?” Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Lwa kufuna kusaasirwa kwa mukama wange.” Naye ye Esawu n’amugamba nti, “Bye nnina bimmala, muganda wange, by’olina beera nabyo.” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda nkwegayiridde, obanga nfunye okusaasirwa mu maaso go, kale kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekivudde mu ngalo zange. Kubanga ddala okulaba ku maaso go kiri ng’okulaba amaaso ga Katonda, olw’ekisa ekyo ky’onnyaniririzzaamu. Nkwegayiridde kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekikuleeteddwa, kubanga Katonda andaze ekisa kye, era siri mu bwetaavu.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’akikkiriza. (Olubereberye 33:8-11)
