Umwuka Wera n'umurimo we

Intangiriro

Intumwa Pawulo atwibutsa ko ubwami bw'Imana atari ubw'amagambo, ahubwo ni ubw'imbaraga (1 Abakorinto 4:20), kandi ko ubwami bw'Imana atari ukurya no kunywa, ahubwo ari ubwo gukiranuka n'amahoro no kwishimira mu (cyangwa "kubwo" yerekana uburyo) Mwuka Wera (Abaroma 14:17). Inkuru yo mu Butumwa Bwiza izana imbaraga z'Imana mu bugingo bwa buri mwizera binyuze mu Mwami Yesu n'umurimo We n'umurimo wo gushoboza w'Umwuka Wera.

Abaroma 6:16 "Ntimuzi yuko uwo mwihaye kuba imbata zo kumwumvira, muri imbata z'uwo mwumvira uwo, imbata z'ibyaha bizana urupfu, cyangwa izo kumvira Imana kuzana gukiranuka ?"

1 Abakorinto 1:18-24 "Ijambo ry'umusaraba ku barimbuka ni ubupfu; ariko kuri twebwe abakizwa, ni imbaraga z'Imana; …24 Ariko ku bahamagawe b'Abayuda n'Abagiriki ni Kristo; ni we mbaraga z'Imana kandi n'ubwenge bwayo:"

1 Abakotinto 2:4-5 “N'ibyo navugaga nkabwiriza ntibyari amagambo y'ubwenge yo kwemeza abantu, ahubwo byari ibigaragazaUmwuka w’imbaraga; 5 kugira ngo kwizera kwanyu kudahagararira ku bwenge bw’abantu, mu mbaraga z’Imana.”

Abakristo benshi cyane, icyakora, ntibagira imbaraga zishoboza z’Imana. Kuri aba bizera icyabo ni ugukora uko bashoboye kose ngo bagere ku gipimo runaka. Ubarebeye inyuma, bamwe bagaragara nk’ababasha gukurikiza amategeko kurusha abandi, ariko batibeshyeye, bahorana ikintu kibabwira ko hari ibitagenda neza.

Mu gushaka kwisobanura kwacu, dushobora gushaka intekerezo nka : "Nta n'umwe utunganye, twese tugira intege-nke," cyangwa "Nkora uko nshoboye kose kandi niringiye ko Imana ibyumva." Ni iby'ukuri, nta n'umwe utunganye, kandi Imana irabyumva. Reka tuvuge ko dukora uko dushoboye kose, ariko ibi ntibihindura ko tutagendeye mu kwizera Imana no mu mbaraga zayo muri Kristo. Tubura ubugingo buhagijwe Kristo yatanze ubwo yavugaga ati, "nazanywe no kugira ngo zibone ubugingo, ndetse ngo zibone bwinshi" (Yohana 10:10b).

Mbese gukora uko dushoboye ni byo Imana ishaka? Oya! Ishaka ko twizera Umukunzi wayo, Umwami Yesu, n'Umwuka Imana yohereje ngo ature muri twe kandi ngo adushoboze kugira imbaraga za Kristo n'ububasha bwo gukora uko dushoboye kose, si mu mbaraga zacu, ahubwo mu mbaraga Imana itanga.

Abakolosayi 1:29 "Icyo ni cyo gituma nkora cyane, ndwanana umwete, nk'uko imbaraga ze ziri, zinkoreramo cyane."

Kubera intege-nke z'umuntu, nta n'umwe ubasha kugira ubugingo bwa gikristo buhwanye no gukurikiza amategeko yo mu Isezerano Rya Kera (reba Abaroma 3:9-20; Abagalatiya 3:10-14). Iyaba twashoboraga kugira ubugingo bwa gikristo tudashobojwe n'Imana, kuki mukeka ko Imana yadusezeranya Umwuka Wera wo gutura mu itorero (Yohana 7:37-39; 14:17)? Iyaba twashoboraga kugira ubugingo bwa gikristo no gukorera Umwami tudashobojwe n'imbaraga z'Imana ku bwo kwizera, ni kuki Umwami Yesu yita Umwuka Wera "Umufasha" cyangwa kurushaho "Umushoboza" (Yohana 14:16, 26), maze akerekana ko nta cyo abigishwa bashobora batari mu Mwuka (Yohana 16:7-15), kandi akababuza gutangira umurimo mbere y'uko Umwuka aza (Ibyakozwe 1:4-8)? Ariko kuri njye bisa n'aho dukunda iteka kugerageza gukora dutyo. Kenshi dukunda gukora ibi cyangwa biriya mu mbaraga zacu kuko dukunda kwiringira imbaraga zacu.

Kubera ko Umwuka ari Umushoboza wacu, dukeneye inyigisho zo kwuzura Umwuka Wera (kimwe n'ukuri k'umwanya dufite muri Kristo) kuko ari ngombwa ko tugirana ubusabane n'Imana kandi tukayumvira. Umwizera ntashobora gukora neza mu bugingo bwa gikristo abaye adasobanukiwe iyi nyigisho.

Bivugwa kenshi ko Ubukristo atari inzira y'ubugingo, ahubwo ni ubugingo tugomba kugira. Ni Kristo ugaragarira mu bugingo bw'umwizera ku bwo kwizera nk'uko intumwa Pawulo yabivuze mu Bagalatia 2:20,

"Nabambanywe na Kristo, ariko ndiho; nyamara si jye uriho, ahubwo ni Kristo uriho muri jye. Ibyo nkora byose nkiriho mu mubiri, mbikoreshwa no kwizera Umwana w'Imana wankunze, akanyitangira."

Abafilipi 2:21 "Kuko bose basigaye bashaka ibyabo, badashaka ibya Yesu Kristo."

Icyakora, ni Imana Umwuka ushyira imico ya Kristo mu bugingo bw’Umwizera. Ibi bifite uruhande rwiza n’urubi.

(1) Uruhande rwiza: Pawulo yari afite ikintu cyiza mu mutima mu Baroma 8:4 igihe yandikaga ati: “kugira ngo gukiranuka kw’amategeko gusohozwe muri twe, abadakurikiza ibya kamere y’umubiri, ahubwo bakurikiza iby’Umwuka.” Gukiranuka kwiza ni ukuvuga imbuto y’Umwuka cyangwa imico ya Yesu Kristo, ishyirwa mu mwizera uyobowe n’Umwuka.

Abagalatiya 5:22-23 “Ariko rero imbuto z’Umwuka ni urukundo, n’ibyishimo n’amahoro, no kwihangana,no kugira neza, n'ingeso nziza, no gukiranuka, 23 no kugwa neza, no kwirinda: ibimeze bityo nta mategeko abihana."

(2) Uruhande rubi: Mu Baroma 8:13, Pawulo yongeyeho ati, "kuko niba mukurikiza ibya kamere y'umubiri, muzapfa; ariko nimwicisha Umwuka ingeso za kamere, muzarama." Ibi bitwigisha ko, ku ruhande rubi, ingeso (ibyaha) za kamere zivanwamo, bidatewe n'imbaraga z'ubushake - n'ubwo gushaka kwacu kuba kurimo - ahubwo no gushobozwa n'Umwuka Wera. Reba Abagalatiya 5:16 "Ariko ndavuga nti : Muyoborwe n'Umwuka, kuko ari bwo mutazakora ibyo kamere irarikira." Kudushyiramo imico ya Kristo mu ruhande rubi (kwivanamo ingeso za kamere) n'uruhande rwiza (kwambara imico y'Imana) ni umurimo w'Umwuka Wera.

Impamvu yo gusobanukirwa neza ibyo kwuzura cyangwa kuyoborwa n'Umwuka igaragazwa n'ibice nka Abagalatiya 4:19 aho Pawulo yasenze ati, "Bana banjye, abo nongera kuramukwa kugeza aho Kristo azaremerwa muri mwe." Ibiri mu ijambo ry'Ikigiriki "kuremerwa" (morphoo) ni ugutanga ibyo imico y'imbere igaragaza inyuma. "Ukuremwa bisobanura ishusho nyayo aho kuba uko inyuma hateye. Ikivugwa ni imico nyakuri ya Kristo." ³⁹ Pawulo arasengera ko Kristo yagaragarira inyuma mu mwizera, ariko biturutse imbere ku bw'imbaraga z'Umwuka. Intego si ukwishushanya. Reba ko inshinga ikorerwa k'uvuga. Ibi bivuga ko uvuga ari we ukorerwa igikorwa aho kuba ari we ukora igikorwa.

Kristo aremewe mu bugingo bw'umuntu, si ibyo umukristo yikorera cyangwa ngo kibe ikintu Kristo akora ubwe. Kristo ntiyiyerekana ubwe mu bugingo bw'umukristo. Umurimo wahawe Umwuka Wera kandi ibi bivugwa mu bice byinshi nka Yohana 16:15 aho Umwami avuga iby'Umwuka, "Ibyo Data afite byose ni ibyanjye. Ni cyo gitumye mvuga nti, Umwuka azenda ku byanjye abibamenyeshe" (NIV). Gereranya n'ibice bikurikira:

Abefeso 1:16-19 "Mbashimira Imana urudaca, nkabasabira uko nsenze, 17 kugira ngo Imana y'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, ari Yo Data wa twese w'Icyubahiro, ibahe Umwuka w'ubwenge no guhishurirwa, bitume muyimenya; 18 ngo amaso y'imitima yanyu abone uko ahweza, mumenye ibyo mwiringizwa n'Iyabahamagaye; mumenye n'ubutunzi bw'ubwiza bw'ibyo azaraga abera; 19 mumenye n'ubwinshi bw'imbaraga butagira akagero, izo iha twebwe abizeye, nk'uko imbaraga z'ububasha bwayo bukomeye ziri,"

Abagalatiya 5:16-25 "Ndavuga nti: muyoborwe n'Umwuka, kuko ari bwo mutazakora ibyo kamere irarikira; 17 kuko kamere irarikira ibyo Umwuka yanga, kandi Umwuka yifuza ibyo kamere yanga: kuko ibyo bihabanye, ni cyo gituma ibyo mushaka gukora atari byo mukora. 18 Ariko niba muyoborwa n'Umwuka, ntimuba mugitwarwa n'amategeko. 19 Dore imirmo ya kamere iragaragara ni iyi: gusambana, no gukora ibiteye isoni, n'iby'isoni nke, 20 no gusenga ibishushanyo, no kuroga, no kwangana, no gutongana, n'ishyari, n'umujinya, n'amahane, no kwitandukanya, no kwirema ibice, 21 no kugomanwa, no gusinda, n'ibiganiro bibi, n'ibindi bisa bityo. Ndababwira hakiri kare, nk'uko nababwiye kera, yuko abakora ibisa bityo batazaragwa ubwami bw'Imana. 22 Ariko rero imbuto z'Umwuka ni urukundo, n'ibyishimo, n'amahoro, no kwihangana,no kugira neza, n'ingeso nziza, no gukiranuka, 23 no kugwa neza, no kwirinda: ibimeze bityo nta mategeko abihana. 24 Aba Kristo Yesu babambanye kamere n'iruba n'irari ryabyo. Niba tubeshwaho n'Umwuka, tujye tuyoborwa n'Umwuka."

Ahari bishobora kugereranywa gutya niba tudafata icyo kigereranyo birenze. Umwizera ni nk'imodoka iyo ari nshya kandi nziza, cyangwa ishaje kandi atari nziza. Izi modoka zombi ziba zifite ibya ngombwa byose byo gutuma zigenda - taransimisiyo, moteri, karibirateri, amarangi, imipira, n'ibindi. Ariko haramutse habuzemo kimwe gusa, lisansi, imodoka ntishobora kugenda. Ibya ngombwa byose birahari ariko nta kamaro iyo nta lisansi ngo itwikwe. Umwuka ni izo mbaraga zaka ku mwizera, We, aho atandukaniye na lisansi mu modoka, ni uko ahora muri twe kuko aza gutura iteka mu mwizera (Abefeso 4:30).

Mu Baroma 6, Pawulo yerekana imbaraga zitangaje zacu (umwanya wacu muri Kristo) ziduha urufatiro rw'ubugingo bushya. Mu Baroma 7 atwigisha ukuri kw'uburyo bubiri ku byerekeye gutabarwa n'iby'Umwuka. Ukwa mbere, amategeko y'uburyo twakwitwara mu gihe yerekana icyaha cyacu. Ntashobora kutugira abakiranutsi cyangwa abakijijwe imbaraga z'icyaha. Ukwa kabiri, intumwa itwigisha umwanya mushya wacu mu guhinduka mu by'Umwuka. Hamwe n'umwanya mushya, dukeneye umurimo wo gushobozwa w'Umwuka Wera nk'uko bivugwa mu Baroma 8 mu gukoresha imbaraga zacu nshya muri Kristo.

Dukeneye gusobanukirwa ko umwizera wese atuwemo n'Umwuka kandi ko afite imbaraga z'ubugingo bwinshi bw'Umukiza yadusezeranije muri Yohana 10:10b. Ikibazo cyacu si ugushira lisansi mu itanki, ahubwo ni ugukoresha (kugendera mu kwisunga Imana) imbaraga ziba ziri aho. Icyo buri mwizera akeneye ni ugusobanukirwa no gukurikira ibyo Bibiliya itubwira mu Befeso 5:18, "mwuzure" (muyoborwe) n' (uburyo) "Umwuka;"n'Abagalatiya 5:16, "muyoborwe n'Umwuka." Hanyuma muri iyi nyigisho, ibishyigikira iki gitekerezo cyo mu Befeso 5:18 tuzabitanga.

Kwiga kugendera mu Mwuka, icyakora, ntibyoroshye. Ubwa mbere, Ibyanditswe Byera ntibitanga ubusobanuro bwo kwuzura Umwuka, kandi ntitubyiga mu gupfa gusoma Isezerano Rishya. Ubwa kabiri, hari uburyo bwinshi bw'amakosa buri mu bakristo ubu. Bamwe bigisha iby'Umwuka bizanwa n'imirimo (y'amategeko) cyangwa imbaraga z'ubushake. Iby'amategeko (iby'Umwuka bizanwa no gukurikiza amategeko) byari ingorane z'i Galatiya. Abandi bigisha ibyo kwuzura Umwuka bafata Umwuka nk'ikintu tubonaho gake mu gihe kimwe. Abandi na none muri iyi minsi babona kwuzura Umwuka nk'umuco uhwanye no gukura mu Mwuka. Bashobora no kuvuga ku kuyoborwa n'Umwuka, ariko iyo uroye neza ibyo bavuga ku by'imigendere yo mu Mwuka, mbona bisa n'aho bagarukira ku buryo bwo kwivugurura aho umuntu yiga gusimbuza ubugingo bushaje ubugingo bushya bufatira icyitegererezo ku Byanditswe Byera. Hari ukuri muri ibi, ariko si ukuri kose. Habuze ibyo kwishingikiriza umwanya ku wundi ku Mwuka hamwe no gukura.

Abenshi bananirwa gusobanukirwa itandukaniro riri hagati yo gutura muri, gusigwa amavuta, gushyirwaho ikimenyetso no kubatizwa, no kwuzuzwa Umwuka. Twumva akenshi abantu basengera gusigwa amavuta kwihariye. Hari indirimbo ziririmbwa zigira ziti:”Ngwino, Mwuka Wera, Inuma yo mu ijuru,” cyangwa ngo,”Nyuzura nonaha” bitarimo inyigisho zuzuye z'iby'Imana (teolojia) ku byerekeye Umwuka Wera. Igice cya kabiri cy'indirimbo, Nyuzura nonaha kiravuga kiti, “Ntiwanyuzura, Mwuka w'ubuntu, Nubwo ntabasha kukubwira uko biri, ariko ndagukeneye cyane, Ngwino, O ngwino unyuzure nonaha.” Ni ukuri, umwanditsi w'iyi ndirimbo ya kera yavugaga iby'umurimo w'Umwuka no kuyobora kwe ariko amagambo ntakoreshejwe neza kandi arayobya kuko adatandukanya gutura kw'Umwuka no kwuzura (kuyobora) kw'Umwuka. Ni bimwe n'ibiri mu ikorasi Mwuka w'Imana Ihoraho, Za none kuri njye. Umwuka nk'uko bizasobanurwa mu magambo arambuye hanyuma, si ikintu kiza kutwuzura, ahubwo ni umuntu uza gutura muri twe, iyo twizeye Kristo. Kimwe mu bigaragaza agakiza ni Umwuka Wera. Abaroma 8:9 hasomwa ngo, "...Ariko umuntu utagira Umwuka wa Kristo, ntaba ari uwe."

Intego z'iyi nyigisho ni :

(1) Gusobanura no gusesengura uwo Umwuka Wera ari We n'icyo akora icyo ari cyo.

(2) Gusobanukirwa ibihe turimo n'uko byerekeye Umwuka Wera.

(3) Gusobanura no gusesengura amagambo akoreshwa ku Mwuka Wera nko gusiga amavuta, gutura muri twe, no kutwuzura n'ibindi.

(4) Kwerekana duhereye ku Byanditswe uko umuntu yuzura Umwuka, ni ukuvuga, uko umuntu ayoborwa n'Umwuka Wera ngo abashe kugira imico nk'iya Kristo. Umwami Yesu Kristo ntiyakwiyerekana ubwe mu bugingo bw'umwizera bidakorewe mu murimo w'Umwuka. Iyo umurimo w'Umwuka utumviswe, umurimo wo gushyira Kristo muri twe urabangamirwa cyangwa se ukazimwa pe.

Mbere y'uko dutangira kuvuga iby'ubugingo bwuzuye Umwuka, icyo bivuga, n'uko twabugira, hari umurimo w'urufatiro ugomba kubanza gushyirwaho, biti ihi se twagwa mu makosa ku byerekeye imirimo y'Umwuka.

Ubumuntu bw’Umwuka Wera
(Uwo Umwuka ari we)

Ubumana bw'Umwuka Wera

Umuntu dusobanukirwa buke mu bagize Ubutatu ni Umwuka Wera. Nyamara ubusobanuro bukwiriye bw'ukuri ku bumuntu bwe ni ingenzi.

Guhakana ubumuntu bw'Umwuka ni "uguhakana ukubaho kwe, ukubaho kw'ubutatu n'inyigisho z'Ibyanditswe kuri ibyo. Icyakora, ubumuntu bwagiye buhakanwa uko imyaka yagiye ikurikirana, ubwa mbere n'abitwa Abamonarikiyani ( monarchians), aba Ariani (Arians), n’Abasosian (Socinians) mu bihe by'Ivugururwa ry'Itorero (Reforme)."⁴⁰ Muri ibi bihe, ubumuntu bwe bwahakanywe n'agace kamwe k'Abapentekoti n'Abahamya ba Yehova.

Ijambo Umwuka Wera riboneka inshuro 89 mu Isezerano Rishya, kandi uyu mubare ntabwo urimo inshuro bamuvuga yitwa Umwuka gusa. Ibi hamwe n'uko yasezeranijwe mu Isezerano Rya Kera kandi akaba ari nk'impano yihariye y'Imana mu Isezerano Rishya, byagombye kwerekana ukuntu ari ingenzi gusobanukirwa icyo Ibyanditswe bivuga ku Mwuka.

Afite ibiranga ubumuntu Bwe⁴¹

(1) Ubwenge. Iyi mirongo yerekana ko Umwuka Wera afite ubwenge, ko atekereza, ashakashaka, kandi yigisha. Iyo dushyize ibi hamwe n'ibindi biranga Umwuka bivugwa muri Bibiliya, tubona ko atari nka orudinateri yahawe gahunda no kwibuka, cyangwa se nk'icyapa kiranga kiri ku ruhande rw'umuhanda. Umwuka Wera afite ubwenge kandi akora ibintu nk'umuntu.

1 Abakorinto 2:10-13 "Ariko Imana yabiduhishurishije Umwuka wayo: kuko Umwuka arondora byose, ndetse n'amayoberane y'Imana. 11 Mbese ni nde mu bantu wamenya ibyo undi atekereza, keretse umwuka wa wundi umurimo? N'iby'Imana ni ko biri; nta wabimenya kertse Umwuka wyo. 12 Ariko twebweho ntitwahawe ku mwuka w'iyi si, ahubwo twahawe uwo Mwuka uva ku Mana, kugira ngo tumenye ibyo Imana yaduherye ubuntu, 13 ari byo tuvuga; ariko ntitubivugisha amagambo akomoka mu bwenge bw'abantu, ahubwo tubivugisha akomoka ku Mwuka, dusobanuza iby'Umwuka iby'Umwuka bindi."

Abaroma 8:27 "Kandi Irondora imitima izi ibyo Umwuka atekereza, kuko Umwuka asabira abera, nk'uko Imana ishaka."

(2) Amarangamutima. Ntidushobora kurakaza cyangwa kubabaza ikintu kidutera gukora ibintu. Dushobora byonyine kurakaza umuntu ushobora gukunda no kwiyumvisha. Kubera ko Umwuka afite imico yera, arakazwa n'icyaha cyacu. Reba by'umwihariko amagambo yo muri Yakobo 4:5 ; "Mbese mutekereza ko Ibyanditswe bivugira ubusa ngo: Umwuka uba muri twe urararikira ukagira n'ishyari?" "Ikidutera gukora ibintu" cyangwa "ikintu" ntikirarikira cyangwa ngo kigire ishyari.

Abefeso 4:30 "Kandi ntimugateze agahinda Umwuka Wera w'Imana wabashyiriweho kuba ikimenyetso, kugeza ku munsi wo gucungurwa."

Abaheburayo 10:29 "Nkanswe ukandagiye Umwana w'Imana, agakerensa amaraso y'isezerano yamwejesheje, agahemura Umwuka utanga ubuntu! Ntimugira ngo azaba akwiriye igihano gikabije cyane kuruta bya bindi?"

Yakobo 4:5 "Mbese mutekereza yuko Ibyanditswe bivugira ubusa ngo: Umwuka uba muri mwe urararikira, ukagira n'ishyari?"

(3) Ubushake. Ku byerekeye ubushake bw'Umwuka Wera, Ryrie yaranditse ati:

“Gutanga impano z'Umwuka bivugwa ko biterwa n'ubushake bw'Umwuka (1 Abakorinto 12:11), kandi ashobora kuyobora ibikorwa by'abagaragu b'Imana. Ibi bisobanurwa neza mu buryo Umwuka yayoboye Pawulo i Musia n'i Tiroa. Yabujije Pawulo kubwiriza muri Asia n'i Bitunia, ...”⁴²

Dushobora gusobanura "uko ashatse" yo mu1 Abakorinto 12:11 nka "nk'uko agambirira cyangwa ategeka." Ibi ntibishoboka ku kintu-buntu.

1 Abakorinto 12:11 "Ariko ibyo byose uwo Mwuka umwe ni we ubikorera muri bo, agabira umuntu wese uko ashaka."

Ibyakozwe 16:6-11 "Bukeye banyura mu gihugu cy'i Furugia n'i Galatia, babuzwa n'Umwuka Wera kuvuga Ijambo ry'Imana mu Asia. 7 Bageze ahabangikanye n'i Musia, bagerageza kujya i Bitunia, ariko Umwuka wa Yesu ntiyabakundira: 8 nuko banyura i Musia bagera i Tiroa. 9 Nijoro Pawulo ararota, abona umugabo w'Umunyamakedonia, ahagaze amwinginga ati: Ambuka uze i Makedonia, udutabare. 10 Amaze kurota izo nzozi, uwo mwanya dushaka kujya i Makedonia, kuko tumenye yuko Imana iduhamagariye kubabwira Ubutumwa Bwiza. 11 Nuko dutsukira i Tiroa, turaromboreza tujya i Samotirake; bukeye bw'aho tugera i Neapoli."

2 Abatesalonike 2:6-7 "Kandi none muzi yuko ikimubuza ari ukugira ngo azahishurwe mu gihe cye; 7 kuko amayoberane y'ubugome n'ubu atangiyegukora: ariko ntazahishurwa keretse uyabuza ubu akuweho."

(7) Arategeka

Dushobora kwigira mu bitabo cyangwa mu byo duhura na byo mu bugingo, ariko ntibikora neza nk'abigisha bafite ubushake n'umugambi. Imihama ishobora kutubuza gukora, ariko mu 2 Abatesalonike 2:6-7 (niba ibi byerekeye Umwuka n'uruhare rwe mu itorero kandi benshi barabyizera) utubuza avugwa nka "We" - umuntu (reba hepfo aha ku byerekeye uko ateye).

2 Abatesalonike 2:6-7 "Kandi none muzi yuko ikimubuza ari ukugira ngo azahishurwe mu gihe cye; 7 kuko amayoberane y'ubugome n'ubu atangiye gukora: ariko ntazahishurwa keretse uyabuza ubu akuweho."

Ibyo guhamya bivugwa nk'umurimo w'umuntu. Ibi bikorwa byose by'Umwuka bivugwa mu Byanditswe, cyane cyane iyo bifatiwe hamwe, nk'ibikorwa by'umuntu uza mu byacu nk'abantu bafitanye ubumwe. Urugero, Umwuka Wera aradusabira kandi agakora ibitangaza - ibintu umuntu wenyine ashobora gukora.

Hari Ibyo akorerwa nk'umuntu

Ryrie yaranditse ati: "Ibikorwa bimwe bikorerwa Umwuka Wera byagombye kubura agaciro iyo aba atari afite ubumuntu." ⁴³

(1) Ashobora kwubahwa

Ibyakozwe 16:6-7 "Bukeye hanyuma mu gihugu cy'i Furugia n'i Galatia, babuzwa n'Umwuka Wera kuvuga ijambo ry'Imana mw'Asia. 7 Bageze ahabangikanye n'i Musia, bagerageza kujya i Bitunia, ariko Umwuka wa Yesu ntiyabakundira:"

(4) Ashobora gutukwa

Matayo 12:31 "Ni cyo gitumye mbabwira yuko abantu bazababarirwa icyaha cyose n'igitutsi; ariko gutuka Umwuka Wera ni icyaha kitazababarirwa."

(5) Ashobora guterwa agahinda

Abefeso 4:30 "Kandi ntimuteze agahinda Umwuka Wera w'Imana wabashyiriweho kuba ikimenyetso, kugeza ku munsi wo gucungurwa."

(6) Ashobora guhemurwa

Abaheburayo 10:29 "Nkanswe ukandagiye Umwana w'Imana, agakerensa amaraso y'isezerano yamwejesheje, agahemura Umwuka utanga ubuntu! Ntimugira ngo azaba akwiriye igihano gikabije cyane kuruta bya bindi?"

Avugwa uko ateye

Ijambo ry'Ikigiriki ni pneuma risobanura ngo "umwuka, umuyaga." "Umuyaga" muri Yohana 3:8 ni pneuma. Duhereye kuri iri jambo ritagira igitsina, dukuraho andi magambo y'Icyongereza nka "pneumonia" cyangwa "pneumatic." Pneuma ni ijambo ritagira igitsina kandi dukurikije ikibonezamvugo cy'Ikigiriki rikeneye insimburazina itagira igitsina. Icyakora, kubera ko Umwuka Wera ari umuntu, abanditsi b'Isezerano Rishya rimwe na rimwe bakoresheje insimburazina y'igitsina gabo aho kuba itagira igitsina ku ijambo ritagira igitsina pneuma. Insimbura z'igitsina gabo zikoreshwa ku Mwuka muri Yohana 15:26; 16:7,8, 13 na 14.

Amashami y'ubumuntu bw'Umwuka

Umwuka Wera avugwa ku bantu nk'umuntu wihariye aho kuba ikidutera gukora ibintu. Ibi bikurikira ni ibyitegererezo:

(1) Avugwa ku ntumwa nk'umuntu wihariye watekerezaga ibyiza akabishyira ku ntumwa zari zihuje umutima n'Umwuka.

Ibyakozwe 15:28 "Umwuka Wera hamwe natwe twashimye kutabikoreza undi mutwaro wose keretse ibi bikwiriye:"

(2) Avugwa ku Mwami Yesu nk'umuntu wihariye.

Yohana 16:14 "Uwo azanyubahiriza: kuko azenda ku byanjye, akabibabwira."

(3) Avugwa ku bandi bantu b'Ubutatu nko kwerekana ubumuntu bwe. Kuri ibi, Ryrie yaranditse ati:

Mu bice aho ibi biboneka byaba bidasanzwe kureba Umwuka nk'ikintu mu gihe twumva Umwana na Se nk'abantu. Amagambo akoreshwa mu ibatizwa ni mu "Izina rya Data, n'iry'Umwana, n'iry'Umwuka Wera" (Matayo 28:19). Kuvugira hamwe Umwuka na Data n'Umwana ntibyerekana ubumuntu bwe gusa, ahubwo no gukoresha ijambo "izina" mu buke na byo byerekana ko ari umuntu nk'uko n'abandi bari. Umugisha w'intumwa ujyana ku musozo umwe: “Ubumuntu bw'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, n’urukundo rw’Imana, no kubana n’Umwuka Wera, bibane na mwe mwese. Amina” (2 Abakorinto 13:14) .⁴⁴

(4) Atandukanywa n’imbaraga ze ubwe nk’umuntu. Ryrie yaranditse ati:

Byongeye Umwuka Wera avugwa ku mbaraga ze ubwe ariko agatandandukanywa na zo, ku buryo nta wabasha kuvuga ngo Umwuka ni imbaraga gusa. “Yesu asubira i Galilaya afite imbaraga z’Umwuka” (Luka 4:14). Umurongo nk’uyu ufasha umuntu gusobanukirwa ko Umwuka ari umuntu ufite imbaraga, kandi ko Umwuka atari imbaraga cyangwa ikintu gusa. Izindi ngero z'iri tandukaniro hagati y'Umwuka nk'umuntu n'imbaraga z'uwo muntu ziri muri Luka 1:35; Ibyakozwe 10:38; Abaroma 15:13; 1 Abakorinto 2:4. Uko interuro z'ibi bice zikozwe, yaba nta mumaro kandi yisubiramo mu buryo budasobanutse iyaba Umwuka Wera yafatwaga nk'imbaraga gusa cyangwa ikidutera gukora ibintu, ntabe umuntu wihariye ufite imbaraga ubwe. ⁴⁵

Ubumana bw'Umwuka Wera

Ibihamya ubumana bw'Umwuka Wera

Kuba Umwuka Wera ari umuntu ntibihamya ko ari Imana, ariko kuba ari Imana bihamya ko ari umuntu. Niba ari Imana, agomba no kuba umuntu nk'uko Imana iri. Icyakora, kutemera ubumana bwe bijyana no kutemera ubumuntu bwe. Erickson yaranditse ati:

Ubumana bw'Umwuka Wera ntibugaragazwa neza nk'ubwa Data wa twese n'Umwana. Bigomba kuvugwa neza ko ubumana bwa Data wa twese buvugwa mu Byanditswe, ubw'Umwana burahamwa kandi bugashyigikirwa, mu gihe ubw'Umwuka Wera buvugwa bahereye ku magambo adafutuye aboneka mu Byanditswe. Hari, icyakora, iby'ibanze byinshi umuntu yashingiraho avuga ko Umwuka Wera ari Imana mu buryo bumwe n'ikigero kimwe na Data n'Umwana.⁴⁶

Ahamwa n'inyito ze

Inyito "Umwuka Wera" ubwayo ni igihamya ko ari Imana mu byerekeye ukwera kw'Imana kuboneka muri Bibiliya. Ubumana bwe, icyakora, buvugwa na none mu bice binyuranye bivuga ku Mwuka bishobora guhinduranywa n'ibice bivuga Imana, ndetse binavuga kuri We nk'Imana. Ibyitegererezo bibiri by'ingenzi byerekana ibi:

Icyitegererezo cya mbere ni Ananiya na Safira mu Byakozwe 5:1-4. Ku byerekeye ibi, Erickson yaranditse ati:

Mu kuzanira intumwa igice cy'inyungu bacyerekanye nk'aho ari yo nyungu babonye yose. Petero yavuze amagambo ateye ubwoba yo gucira urubanza buri wese muri bo, kandi bombi bahise bakubitwa barapfa. Mu guhana Ananiya, Petero yaramubajije ati, "Anania, ni iki gitumye Satani yuzuza umutima wawe kubeshya Umwuka Wera ukisigariza igice cy'ibiguzi by'isambu?" (umurongo wa 3). Mu murongo ukurikira arahamya ati, "Si abantu ubeshye, ahubwo Imana ni Yo ubeshye." Bisa n'aho mu mutima wa Petero "kubeshya Umwuka Wera" no "kubeshya Imana" byashoboraga gusimburanwa. Byashoboraga, mu by'ukuri, kuvugwa ko abantu babiri batandukanye ari bo bavugwa, ku buryo Petero yarimo avuga ati, "Wabeshye Umwuka Wera w'Imana." Amagambo yo mu murongo wa kane icyakora, yari agenewe kwerekana neza ko ikinyoma kitabwiwe abantu, umuntu muto ku Mana, ahubwo Imana ubwayo. Bityo tujyanwa ku musozo ko amagambo ya kabiri ari ubusobanuro bw'aya mbere, yibanda ku by'uko Umwuka Ananiya yabeshye ari Imana.⁴⁷

Icyitegererezo cya kabiri kiboneka mu 1 Abakorinto 3:16-17 aho na none inyito "Umwuka Wera" n'"Imana" bikoreshwa mu buryo byasimburana mu byo intumwa yavugaga ku mubiri wa Kristo n'abizera nk'abantu ku giti cyabo.

1 Abakorinto 3:16-17 "Ntimuzi yuko muri urusengero rw'Imana, kandi ko Umwuka w'Imana aba muri mwe? 17 Umuntu utsemba urusengero rw'Imana, Imana izamutsemba; kuko urusengero rw'Imana ari urwera, kandi urwo rusengero ni mwe."

Ni iby'agaciro na none kubona ijambo ry'Ikigiriki rikoreshwa ku rusengero ari naos ryakoreshwaga mu kuvuga ahera cyane h'urusengero, aho isanduku y'isezerano yabaga n'aho Imana yaturaga mu Isezerano Rya Kera. Muri iki gihe, umubiri w'umwizera ni naos - aho Imana itura mu Mwuka.

Abefeso 2:21-22 "Muri we inzu yose iteranijwe neza, irakura, ngo ibe urusengero rwera mu Mwami Yesu. 22 Muri we namwe murubakanwa, kugira ngo mube inzu yo kubabwamo n'Imana mu Mwuka."

Ibi uko bigaragara ni byo byari mu mutima w'intumwa igihe yakoreshaga naos.

Ahamywa n'ibimuranga

(1) Azi byose

1 Abakorinto 2:10-11 "Ariko Imana yabiduhishurishije Umwuka wayo: kuko Umwuka arondora byose, ndetse n'amayoberane y'Imana. 11 Mbese ni nde mu bantu wamenya ibyo undi atekereza, keretse umwuka wa wa wundi umurimo? N'iby'Imana niko bibi; nta wabimenya keretse Umwuka wayo."

1 Abakorinto 2:10-11 hafatanya ubumuntu bw'Umwuka nk'uzi kandi agatekereza, n'ubumenya-byose bwe. Umwuka ntiyashobora kumenya ibitekerezo byo Imana izi byose. Ibi byerekana ko Umwuka asobanukiwe neza uburebure bw'ikijyepfo bw'ibitekerezo n'umugambi w'ubuntu bw'Imana. Ni nde utari Imana wabasha gusobanukirwa ibitekerezo by'Imana?

(2) Ashobora byose. Ku byerekeye ibi biranga Umwuka Wera, Erickson yaranditse ati:

Muri Luka 1:35 amagambo "Umwuka Wera" n'"imbaraga z'Isumba-byose" arasa cyangwa avuga kimwe. Ibi birumvikana ku byerekeye ugusama k'Umwari, bigaragara nk'igitangaza cyo mu rwego ruhanitse. Pawulo yemeye ko gukorwa kw'umurimo we kwuzuzwaga ku bw' "imbaraga z'ibimenyetso n'ibitangaza, ku bw'imbaraga z'Umwuka Wera" (Abaroma 15:19). Byongeye, Yesu yitiriraga Umwuka Wera ubushobozi bwo guhindura imitima y'abantu: Ni Umwuka wemeza (Yohana 16:8-11) no guhindura mushya (Yohana 3:5-8) muri twe. Byagombye kwibukwa ko Yesu hari aho yavuze ku byerekeye ibyo guhindura imitima y'abantu: "Ibyo ntibishobokera abantu, ariko ku Mana byose birashoboka" (Matayo 19:26; reba imirongo ya 16-25). Mu gihe ibice bidahamya neza ko Umwuka ashobora byose, byerekana neza ko afite imbaraga zigirwa n'Imana yonyine. ⁸

(3) Aba hose

Zaburi 139:7-10 "Ndahungira Umwuka wawe he? Nahungira mu maso hawe he? 8 Nazamuka nkajya mu ijuru, uriyo: Nasasa uburiri bwanjye ikuzimu, dore, uriyo. 9 Nakwenda amababa y'umuseke, ngatura ku mpera y'inyanja; 10 aho naho ukuboko kwawe kwahanshorerera, ukuboko kwawe kw'i buryo kwahamfatira."

(4) Ahoraho

Abaheburayo 9:14 "Nkanswe amaraso ya Kristo, witambiye Imana atagira inenge, ku bw'Umwuka w'iteka; ntazarushaho guhumanura imitima yanyu, akayezaho imirimo ipfuye, kugira ngo mubone uko mukorera Imana ihoraho?

Matayo 4:1 "Maze Yesu ajyanwa n'Umwuka mu butayu kugeragezwa n'Umwanzi."

Uguhoraho kw'Umwuka Wera kuvugwa mu Baheburayo 9:14 havuga ngo Kristo yaritanze "ku bw'Umwuka Uhoraho." Bamwe bavuze ko ibi byerekeye umwuka w'umuntu wa Kristo, ariko ni ngombwa kwumva ibi nk'ibyerekeye Umwuka Wera kuko, duhereye ku by'ubumuntu bwe, Yesu Kristo yabayeho ubugingo bwe bwo ku isi ayoborwa n'Umwuka Wera (reba Matayo 12:18-28).

Ahamywa n'imirimo ye

(1) Kurema

Itangiriro 1:2 "Isi yari itagira ishusho, yariho ubusa busa, umwijima wari hejuru y'imuhengeri: maze Umwuka w'Imana yagendagendaga hejuru y'amazi."

Zaburi 104:30 "Wohereza umwuka wawe, bikaremwa; ubutaka ubusubizaho ubugingo bushya."

Erickson yaranditse ati:

Yari akomeje kugira uruhare mu kurema, mu ntangiriro z’uko kurema, mu kukugumishaho no kukuyobora. Mu Itangiriro 1:2 dusoma ko Umwuka w'Imana yagendagendaga hejuru y'amazi. Yobu 26:13 yavuze ko ijuru riterwa kurabagirana n'Umwuka. Umunyezaburi aravuga ati, "Wohereza Umwuka wawe, bikaremwa; ubutaka ubusubiza ubugingo bushya" (Zaburi 104:30). ⁴⁸

(2) Guhumeka Ibyanditswe

2 Timoteyo 3:16 "Ibyanditswe Byera byose byahumetswe n'Imana, kandi bigira umumaro wo kwigisha umuntu, no kumwemeza ibyaha bye, no kumutunganya, no kumuhanira gukiranuka:"

2 Petero 1:21 "Kuko ari nta buhanuzi bwazanywe n'ubushake bw'umuntu, ahubwo abantu b'Imana bavugaga ibyavaga ku Mana, bashorewe n'Umwuka Wera."

Muri 2 Timoteyo 3:16 tubwirwa ko Ibyanditswe byose byahumetswe n'Imana kandi bigira umumaro. Uyu murongo werekana ukuntu n'agaciro byo guhumekwa kwa Bibiliya. Muri 2 Petero 1:21 duhabwa impamvu yo guhumekwa: abantu bashorerwaga n'Umwuka Wera, batwarwaga nk'uko umuyaga uhuha mu mpende z’ubwato. Aha na none inyito Imana n'Umwuka Wera zisa n'aho zikoreshwa zishobora gusimburana ku Mwuka.

(3) Ahindura abantu bashya, amurikira abantu, kandi yeza abantu

Turebye kamere n'imimerere y’umuntu, ibi ni ibintu bitangaje kandi Imana yonyine ishobora gukora nk'uko bivugwa n'Umwami muri Matayo 19:26.

Yohana 3:5-8 "Yesu aramusubiza ati: Ni ukuri, ni ukuri, ndakubwira yuko umuntu utabyawe n'amazi n'Umwuka atabasha kwinjira mu bwami bw'Imana. 6 Ikibyarwa n'umubiri nacyo ni umubiri; n'ikibyarwa n'Umwuka na cyo ni umwuka. 7 Witangazwa n'uko nkubwiye yuko bibakwiriye kubyarwa ubwa kabiri. 8 Umuyaga uhuha aho ushaka, ukumva guhuha kwawo, ariko ntumenya aho uva cyangwa ujya. Ni ko uwabyawe n'Umwuka wese amera."

Tito 3:5 "Iradukiza, itabitewe n'imirimo yo gukiranuka twakoze, ahubwo ku bw'imbabazi zayo, idukirisha kuhagirwa, ni ko kubyarwa ubwa kabiri, ikadukirisha no guhindurwa bashya n'Umwuka Wera;"

Abaroma 8:11 "Ariko niba Umwuka w'Iyazuye Yesu aba muri mwe, Iyazuye Kristo Yesu izazura n'imibiri yanyu ipfa kubw'Umwuka wayo uba muri mwe."

Abefeso 3:16-19 "Ngo abahe, nk'uko ubutunzi bw'ubwiza bwe buri, gukomezwa cyane mu mitima yanyu ku bw'Umwuka we; 17 kandi ngo Kristo ahore mu mitima yanyu ku bwo kwizera, kugira ngo, ubwo mumaze gushorera imizi mu rukundo, mukaba mushikamye, 18 muhabwe imbaraga zo kumenyera hamwe n'abera bose ubugari, n'uburebure bw'umurambararo, n'uburebure bw'igihagararo, n'uburebure bw'ikijyepfo bwarwo ubwo ari bwo, 19 mumenye n'urukundo rwa Kristo ruruta uko rumenywa; ngo mwuzuzwe kugeza ku kwuzura kw'Imana."

Ahamywa n'abo angana na bo

Ku byerekeye ibi, Ryrie yaranditse ati:

Imwe muri gihamya y'ubumana bw'Umwuka ni ukwitiranwa kw'Umwuka na Yehova wo mu Isezerano Rya Kera. Ibi bigaragara mu bice aho Isezerano Rya Kera rivuga ko Yehova yavuze ikintu noneho Isezerano Rishya rikabisubiramo rivuga ko uwavuze icyo kintu ari Umwuka. Ibyo bisa no kuvuga neza ko Umwuka, nka Yehova, ari Imana yuzuye (Yesaya 6:1-13 n'Ibyakozwe 28:23; Yeremiya 31:31-34 n'Abaheburayo 10:15-17).⁴⁹

Hamwe n'iyi mirongo, dusanga undi murongo wa gihamya mu Isezerano Rishya aho Umwuka Wera agereranywa mu buryo bungana na Data wa twese n'Umwana.

(1) Inshingano ikomeye

Matayo 28:19 "Nuko mugende muhindure abantu bo mu mahanga yose abigishwa, mubabatize mu izina rya Data wa twese n'Umwana n'Umwuka Wera:"

Ibitangaje, ijambo "izina" ryerekeye abo bantu bose uko ari batatu, Data, Umwana, n'Umwuka Wera, riri mu buke. Hari Imana imwe ariko mu buryo butandukanye kandi bungana.

(2) Imigisha ya Pawulo

2 Abakorinto 13:14 "Ubuntu bw'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, n'urukundo rw'Imana, no kubana n'Umwuka Wera, bibane namwe mwese."

(3) Ibivugwa ku byerekeye impano z'Umwuka

1 Abakorinto 12:4-6 "Icyakora, hariho impano z'uburyo bwinshi, ariko Umwuka ni umwe. 5 Kandi hariho uburyo bwinshi bwo kugabura iby'Imana, ariko Umwami ni umwe. 6 Hariho uburyo bwinshi bwo gukora, ariko Imana ikorera byose muri bose ni imwe;"

Uko Pawulo avuga iby'impano z'Umwuka mu 1 Abakorinto 12, ni ko ashyiramo mu buryo bungana abantu batatu bagize ubutatu: "Icyakora, hariho impano z'uburyo bwinshi, ariko Umwuka ni umwe. Kandi hariho uburyo bwinshi bwo kugabura iby'Imana, ariko Umwami ni umwe. Hariho n'uburyo bwo gukora, ariko Imana ikorera byose muri bose ni imwe."

(4) Indamutso ya Petero: 1 Petero 1:2

1 Petero 1:2 "Mwatoranijwe nk'uko Imana Data wa twese yabamenye kera, mubiheshejwe no kwezwa n'Umwuka, kugira ngo mwumvire Imana, muminjagirwe amaraso ya Yesu Kristo. Ubuntu n'amahoro bigwire muri mwe."

Mu ndamutso yo mu rwandiko rwe rwa mbere, Petero ahuriza abatatu bo mu butatu hamwe, yerekana uruhare rwa buri muntu mu by'agakiza.

Mu magambo asobanutse, ibi bice byose bivuga ko Umwuka Wera atari umuntu gusa, ahubwo ni Imana, uwa gatatu mu butatu. None ubwo tugize icyo gitekerezo cy'uwo Umwuka ari We, dukeneye kureba icyo Umwuka akorera abizera kandi mu bizera kuko ari impano idasanzwe y'Imana n'isoko yo kugira ubugingo bwa gikristo.

Kuza n'ibihe by'Umwuka

Gusobanukirwa ko iki gihe ari kimwe kandi ko ari igihe cy'Umwuka ni ingenzi kugira ngo tubashe gusobanura neza inyigisho yo mu Isezerano Rishya ku Mwuka n'umurimo We w'ubu. Ibihe by'itorero bigereranywa n'ibihe by'Umwuka kubera umurimo usobanutse wo muri iki gihe.

Uku kuri gukeneye kuvugwa neza kuko Umwuka Wera ari impano yihariye y'Imana n'uburyo bw'imbaraga zo kugira ubugingo bwa Kristo mu bwacu. Mu kuri, nta cyerekana ubugingo bwa gikristo, kwiga Bibiliya, gusenga, gutanga ubuhamya, gukura, n'ibindi, bidaturuka ku murimo ushoboza w'Umwuka Wera w'Imana. Nubwo Imana iduha impano z'Umwuka n'ububasha bushya bw'ubugingo mu murimo w'Umwuka wo kuduhindura bashya, ni Umwuka Wera ushoboza ubugingo bwacu kuramya no gukorera Imana.

Isezerano ry'Umwuka nk'impano yihariye y'Imana

Imana ishobora umunsi umwe gukora igikorwa cyihariye ku bw'Umwuka Wera mu bantu bayo. Hari amasezerano atangaje menshi mu Isezerano Rya Kera n'Irishya mbere y'ibyo Imana yagombaga gukorera abantu bayo mu Mwuka.

Ezekieli 36:24-27 "Nuko nzabavana mu mahanga, mbakoranirize hamwe mbakuye mu bihugu byose, maze nzabageza mu gihugu cyanyu bwite. 25 Nzabanyanyagizaho amazi meza, maze muzatungana, mbakureho imyanda yanyu yose, n'ibigirwamana byanyu byose. 26 Nzabaha n'umutima mushya, mbashyiremo umwuka mushya; nzabakuramo umutima ukomeye nk'ibuye, mbashyiremo umutima woroshye. 27 Kandi nzabashyiramo Umwuka wanjye, ntume mugendera mu mateka yanjye, mugakomeza n'amategeko yanjye, mukayasohoza."

Ezekieli 37:14 "Kandi nzabashyiramo Umwuka wanjye, mubone kubaho, nzabashyira mu gihugu cyanyu bwite; mumenye yuko ari njye Uwiteka wabivuze, kandi mbikomeje, niko Uwiteka avuga."

Yesaya 44:3 "Uwishwe n'inyota nzamusukiraho amazi; nzatembesha imigezi ku butaka bwanyu; urubyaro rwawe nzarusukaho Umwuka wanjye, n'abana bawe nzabaha umugisha."

Yesaya 59:21 "Maze aravuga ati: Iri ni ryo sezerano nsezerana na bo. Umwuka wanjye ukuriho n'amagambo yanjye nshyize mu kanwa kawe, ntibizatandukana n'akanwa kawe n'akanwa k'urubyaro rwawe kandi n'ak'ubuvivi bwawe, uhereye ubu ukageza iteka ryose, ni ko Uwiteka avuga."

Yoweri 2:28-29 "Hanyuma y'ibyo, nzasuka Umwuka wanjye ku bantu bose; abahungu n'abakobwa banyu bazahanura, abakambwe banyu bazarota, n'abasore banyu bazerekwa. 29 Ndetse n'abagaragu banjye n'abaja banjye nzabasukira ku Mwuka wanjye muri iyo minsi."

Yohana 7:37-39 "Nuko ku munsi uheruka w'iyo minsi mikuru, ariwo munsi uruta iyindi, Yesu arahagarara avuga cyane ati: Umuntu nagira inyota, aza aho ndi anywe. 38 Unyizera, imigezi y'amazi y'ubugingo izatemba iva mu nda ye, nk'uko Ibyanditswe bivuga. 39 Ibyo yabivuze yerekeje ku Mwuka Wera, uwo abamwizera bendaga guhabwa: ariko ubwo Umwuka yari ataraza, kuko Yesu yari atarahabwa ubwiza bwe."

Yohana 14:16 "Nanjye nzasaba Data, na we azabaha undi Mufasha wo kubana namwe ibihe byose,"

Ibyakozwe 1:4-8 "Nuko abateraniriza hamwe, abategeka kutava i Yerusalemu, ati: Ahubwo murindire ibyo Data yasezeranije, ibyo nababwiye; 5 kuko Yohana yabatirishaga amazi, ariko mwebweho mu minsi mike muzabatirishwa Umwuka Wera. 6 Nuko bamaze guterana, baramubaza bati: Mbese Mwami, iki ni cyo gihe wenda kugaruriramo ubwami mu Bisiraeli? 7 Arabasubiza ati: Si ibyanyu kumenya iby'iminsi cyangwa ibihe Data yagennye n'ubutware bwe wenyine; 8 icyakora muzahabwa imbaraga, Umwuka Wera nabamanukira ; kandi muzaba abagabo bo kumpamya, i Yerusalemu n'i Yudaya yose n'i Samaria no kugeza ku mpera y'isi."

Ukuri ko kuza k'Umwuka

Iyo tugeze ku Byakozwe 2 n'ibikurikiraho mu gitabo cy'Ibyakozwe n'ahandi mu Isezerano Rishya, tubona ibivuga ko Umwuka Wera yaje gutura mu bizera n'ubusobanuro bw'uruhare rwe rushyashya kandi rwihariye. Ibyo kuza kwe ntibikiri ibishushanya ibizaba ahubwo ni ukuri kw'imigisha iriho.

Ibyakozwe 2:1-4 "Umunsi wa Pentekote usohoye, bose bari bari hamwe mu mwanya umwe bahuje umutima; 2 nuko umuriri ubatungura uvuye mu ijuru, umeze nk'uko umuyaga uhuha cyane, ukwira inzu bari bicayemo. 3 Haboneka indimi zigabanije zisa n'umuriro, ururimi rujya ku muntu wese wo muri bo. 4 Bose buzuzwa Umwuka Wera, batangira kuvuga izindi ndimi, nk'uko Umwuka yabahaye kuvuga."

Ibyakozwe 2:17 "Imana ivuze iti: Uku niko bizaba mu minsi y'imperuka, nzasuka ku Mwuka wanjye ku bantu bose: Kandi abahungu n'abakobwa banyu bazahanura, n'abasore banyu bazerekwa, n'abakambwe babarimo bazarota."

Ibyakozwe 10:44-45 "Petero akivuga ibyo, Umwuka Wera amanukira abumvise ayo magambo bose. 45 Abizeye bo mu bakebwe bajyanye na Petero barumirwa bose, kuko n'abanyamahanga na bo bahawe Umwuka Wera akaba abasutsweho;"

Ibyakozwe 11:15-17 "Nteruye amagambo, Umwuka Wera arabamanukira, nk'uko natwe yatumanukiye bwa mbere. 16 Nibuka rya jambo ry'Umwami Yesu, iryo yavugaga ati: Yohana yababatirishaga amazi, ariko mwebweho muzabatirishwa Umwuka Wera. 17 Nuko, ubwo Imana yabahaye impano ihwanye n'iyo natwe twahawe, ubwo twizeraga Umwami Yesu Kristo, ndi nde wo kuvuguruza Imana?"

1 Abakorinto 6:19 "Mbese ntimuzi yuko imibiri yanyu ari insengero z'Umwuka Wera, uri muri mwe, uwo mufite wavuye ku Mana? Kandi ntimuri abanyu ngo mwigenge;"

Abefeso 1:13-14 "Ni we namwe mwiringiye, mumaze kumva Ijambo ry'ukuri, ni ryo Butumwa Bwiza bw'agakiza kanyu: kandi mumaze kwizera, ni we wabashyizeho ikimenyesto, ni cyo Mwuka Wera mwasezeranijwe, 14 uwo twahaweho ingwate yo kuzaragwa wa murage, kugeza ubwo abo Imana yaronse izabacungura, ubwiza bwayo bushimwe."

Abefeso 4:30 "Kandi ntimuteze agahinda Umwuka Wera w'Imana wabashyiriweho kuba ikimenyetso, kugeza ku munsi wo gucungurwa."

Abagalatiya 5:5 "Naho twebwe, ku bw'Umwuka, dutegereje kuzakiranuka, twiringiye ko tuzabiheshwa no kwizera."

Ubusobanuro bw'ibihe by'Umwuka

Igishushanyo kiri hepfo aha cyerekana uguhinduka kw'umurimo w'Umwuka Wera uva ku wo mu Isezerano Rya Kera ujya ku wo mu Isezerano Rishya. Kuva mu Byakozwe 2 ugakomeza, umurimo w'Umwuka wafashe isura nshya yihariye itangirana n'ibyabaye kuri Pentekoti nk'uko byari byarasezeranijwe mu Isezerano Rya Kera ndetse n'Umwami Yesu. Kuva icyo gihe dufite gushyirwaho k'umubiri wa Kristo, itorero, n'umurimo w'Umwuka Wera wo gutura mu itorero. Aha ni igihe itorero ryatangiye n'igihe Umwuka watangiye gutura mu abizera Umukiza bose. Ibi bihamywa n'ibikurikira:

(1) Mu Byakozwe 1:5, Umwami yatanze isezerano ry'umurimo wo kubatiza w'Umwuka. “Kuko Yohana yabatirishaga amazi, ariko mwebweho mu minsi mike muzabatirishwa Umwuka Wera.”

(2) Umubatizo ni uburyo bwo gusa na Kristo. “Hamwe n’Umwuka” bishobora na none gusobanurwa ngo “ku bw’Umwuka” mu 1 Abakorinto12:13. Mu rwa mbere rw’Abakorinto 12:13a herekana icyo umurimo w’Umwuka wo kubatiza ari cyo. Ni umurimo w’ Umwuka Wera ahuriza buri mwizera mu bumwe n’umubiri wa Kristo ubwe. Ibi bibera rimwe no kuza gutura kw’Umwuka Wera (1 Abakorinto 12:13b). Iyo twizeye Umukiza, Umwuka aduhuza mu bumwe n’umubiri wa Kristo, itorero (Abaroma 6). Nk’ingaruka, dusa na Kristo mu bumuntu n'umurimo bye.

(3) Mu Byakozwe 11:15-16, Petero yavuze ko kumanuka kw'Umwuka ku banyamahanga mu nzu ya Koruneliyo guhwanye n'ibyabaye ku Bayuda mu Byakozwe 2 ku munsi wa Pentekoti. Yavuze na none ko Ibyakozwe 2 bihwanye no gusohora kw'isezerano rya Kristo ku byerekeye kubatizwa mu Mwuka biboneka mu Byakozwe 1:5. Mu yandi magambo, Ibyakozwe 2 ni ho hatangiye umurimo w'Umwuka wo gutura no kubatiza ku bw'umubiri wa Kristo. Ibi bitangira ibihe byihariye by'umurimo wo gutura mu torero w'Umwuka Wera.

Igishushanyo gikurikira cyerekana itandukaniro.

Umurimo w'ibanze n'intego by'Umwuka

Ihame ry'icyo dutumbira

Nk'uko dukenera urumuri ngo tuzane urupapuro rwanditseho aho turubona, ni ko dukenera umucyo w'Ibyanditswe ngo tuzane urumuri ku murimo w'ibanze w'Umwuka ku byerekeye imirimo ye yose. Gutumbira Umwuka bivuga (a) kumutekereza neza no (b) gutekereza neza ubusabane bwacu na We: icyo ari cyo ku bizera, n'uko ibi bifite aho bihuriye na Yesu Kristo. Akenshi twibanda ku Mwuka Wera n'umurimo We, ariko rero birababaje kuko akenshi bidahuje n'inyigisho y'Ijambo ry'Imana.

Uko Ibyanditswe bivuga umurimo w'Umwuka Wera

Bamwe babona intego y'ingenzi y'Umwuka Wera nk'imbaraga, abandi nko kwigisha, abandi nk'ibitangaza akora, n'ibindi. Ibi byose ni imirimo cyangwa yari imirimo y'Umwuka kandi ni ngombwa ku mubiri wa Kristo. Icyakora, kwibanda kuri umwe muri yo ukibagirwa indi, na cyane cyane kureka kwibanda ku Ijambo ry'Imana, ni ukuyoba.

Ibi ni ingenzi rwose kubera ko Yesu Kristo ari ubugingo bwacu. Ni ibyiringiro by'ubwiza n’intumbero ya Bibiliya.

Abakolosayi 1:27-28 "Abo Imana yishimiye kumenyesha ubutunzi bw'ubwiza bw'ubwo bwiru bwageze mu banyamahanga ; ni bwo Kristo uri muri mwe, ni byo byiringiro by'ubwiza. 28 Ni we twamamaza, tuburira umuntu wese, tumwigisha ubwenge bwose; kugira ngo tumurikire Imana umuntu wese , amaze gutunganirizwa rwose muri Kristo:"

Abakolosayi 2:10 "Kandi mwuzuriye muri we, ari we Mutwe w'ubutware bwose n'ubushobozi bwose."

Abagalatiya 2:20 "Nabambanywe na Kristo, ariko ndiho; nyamara si njye uriho, ahubwo ni Kristo uriho muri njye. Ibyo nkora byose nkiriho mu mubiri, mbikoreshwa no kwizera Umwana w'Imana wankunze, akanyitangira."

Nuko rero intumbero y'ingenzi twahawe mu Ijambo ry'Imana ni uko Umwuka Wera mu mirimo Ye yose yatangiwe kuduhuza na Kristo. Yatangiwe kwerekana Kristo n'umurimo We, kutumenyesha icyo Kristo ari cyo kuri twe, no kudushoboza kugira ubugingo bwa Kristo mu bwacu.

Yohana 16:3-15 "Kandi ibyo bazabikorera batyo, kuko batamenye Data, na njye ntibamenye. 4 Ariko ibyo mbibabwiriye kugira ngo igihe cyabyo nikigera, muzibuke ko ari njye wabibabwiye. Uhereye mbere na mbere sinabibabwiye, kuko nari nkiri kumwe na mwe. 5 Ariko none ndajya k'uwantumye, kandi muri mwe ntawe umbaza ati, urajya he? 6 Ariko kuko mbabwiye ibyo, imitima yanyu yuzuye agahinda. 7 Ariko ndababwira ukuri yuko ikizagira icyo kibamarira, ari uko ngenda: kuko ni ntagenda, Umufasha atazaza aho muri: ariko ningenda, nzamuboherereza. 8 Ubwe azaza, azatsinda ab'isi, abemeze iby'icyaha n'ibyo gukiranuka n'iby'amateka; 9 iby'icyaha, kuko batanyizeye; 10 n'ibyo gukiranuka, kuko njya kwa Data, kandi namwe muzaba mutakimbona: 11 n'iby'amateka, kuko umutware w'ab'iyi si aciriweho iteka. 12 Ndacyafite ibyo kubabwira byinshi, ariko ubu ntimubasha kubyihanganira. 13 Uwo Mwuka w'Ukuri n'aza, azabayobora mu kuri kose: kuko atazavuga kubwe, ahubwo ibyo azumva, ni byo azavuga: kandi azababwira ibyenda kubaho. 14 Uwo azanyubahiriza: kuko azenda ku byanjye, akabibabwira. 15 Ibyo Data afite byose ni ibyanjye: ni cyo gitumye mvuga nti, Azenda ku byanjye, abibabwire."

Abefeso 3:16-19 "Ngo abahe, nk'uko ubutunzi bw'ubwiza bwe buri, gukomezwa cyane mu mitima yanyu ku bw'Umwuka we; 17 kandi ngo Kristo ahore mu mitima yanyu ku bwo kwizera, kugira ngo, ubwo mumaze gushorera imizi mu rukundo, mukaba mushikamye, 18 muhabwe imbaraga zo kumenyera hamwe n'abera bose ubugari, n'uburebure bw'umurambararo, n'uburebure bw'igihagararo, n'uburebure bw'ikijyepfo bwarwo ubwo ari bwo, 19 mumenye n'urukundo rwa Kristo ruruta uko rumenywa; ngo mwuzuzwe kugeza ku kuzura kw'Imana."

Abagalatiya 3:3 "Muri abapfapfa mutyo? Mwatangiye iby'Umwuka, none mubiherukije iby'umubiri?"

Abagalatiya 5:5 "Naho twebwe, ku bw'Umwuka, dutegereje kuzakiranuka, twiringiye ko tuzabiheshwa no kwizera."

Abagalatiya 5:16-25 "Ndavuga nti: Muyoborwe n'Umwuka, kuko ari bwo mutazakora ibyo kamere irarikira; 17 kuko kamere irarikira ibyo Umwuka yanga, kandi Umwuka yifuza ibyo kamere yanga: kuko ibyo bihabanye, ni cyo gituma ibyo mushaka gukora atari byo mukora. 18 Ariko niba muyoborwa n'Umwuka, ntimuba mugitwarwa n'amategeko. 19 Dore imirimo ya kamere iragaragara; ni iyi: gusambana, no gukora ibiteye isoni, n'iby'isoni nke, 20 no gusenga ibishushanyo, no kuroga, no kwangana, no gutongana, n'ishyari, n'umujinya, n'amahane, no kwitandukanya, no kwirema ibice, 21 no kugomanwa, no gusinda, n'ibiganiro bibi, n'ibindi bisa bityo. Ndababwira hakiri kare, nk'uko nababwiye kera, yuko abakora ibisa bityo batazaragwa ubwami bw'Imana. 22 Ariko rero imbuto z'Umwuka ni urukundo, n'ibyishimo, n'amahoro, no kwihangana, no kugira neza, n'ingeso nziza, no gukiranuka, 23 no kugwa neza, no kwirinda: ibimeze bityo nta mategeko abihana. 24 Aba Kristo Yesu babambanwe kamere n'iruba n'irari ryabo. 25 Niba tubeshwaho n'Umwuka, tujye tuyoborwa n'Umwuka."

Kubera ko Umwuka Wera ari Udushoboza n'imbaraga mu bugingo bw'umukristo, kandi kubera ko tugomba kugendera ku bwo kwizera mu bwigenge bwo kuyoborwa n'Umwuka (Abagalatiya 3:3; 5:5, 16-25 byavuzwe haruguru), Abagalatiya 2:20 haduha intumbero y'ibanze - Kristo uba mu bizera ku bwo kwizera Umwana w'Imana wadukunze akatwitangira. N'ubwo twakwiringira Umwuka mu guha imbaraga ubugingo bwacu, ukwizera kwacu ikw'ibanze ni Umwana w'Imana kubera ko Umwuka ava ku Mana anyuze muri Yesu Kristo ari Yesu umusabye nk'imwe mu mpano zacu. Ariko intego ni uko dusangira ubugingo bwa Kristo.

Yohana 14:16-20 "Nanjye nzasaba Data, na we azabaha undi Mufasha wo kubana namwe ibihe byose, 17 ni we Mwuka w'ukuri. Ntibishoboka ko ab'isi bamuhabwa, kuko batamurora kandi batamuzi; ariko mwebweho muramuzi, kuko abana na mwe, kandi azaba muri mwe. 18 Sinzabasiga nk'imfubyi, ahubwo nzaza aho muri. 19 Hasigaye umwanya muto, ab'isi ntibabe bakimbona, ariko mwebweho muzambona: kuko ndiho, namwe muzabaho. 20 Uwo munsi muzamenya ko ndi muri Data, namwe mukaba muri njye, nanjye nkaba muri mwe."

Umurimo w'Umwuka ushingiye kuri Kristo. Ntushingiye ku muntu ngo wibande ku mpano zacu, ubumuntu bwacu, ibyo duhura na byo; ntunashingiye no ku Mwuka Wera ngo wibande kuri We no ku bitangaza by'ibyo akora n'imirimo Ye, nubwo ari ingenzi kandi ari ngombwa bwose. Iyi ntumbero y'Ibyanditswe iboneka mu bice bikurikira:

(1) Yohana 7:37-39

"Nuko ku munsi uheruka w'iyo minsi mikuru, ari wo munsi uruta iyindi, Yesu arahagarara avuga cyane ati: Umuntu nagira inyota , aze aho ndi anywe. 38 Unyizera , imigezi y'amazi y'ubugingo izatemba iva mu nda ye, nk'uko Ibyanditswe bivuga. 39 Ibyo yabivuze yerekeje ku Mwuka Wera, uwo abamwizera bendaga guhabwa: ariko ubwo Umwuka yari ataraza, kuko Yesu yari atarahabwa ubwiza bwe."

Ku byerekeye isezerano ry'Umwuka, iki gice kivuga ko yari ataratangwa, kuko Kristo yari atarahabwa ubwiza. Umwuka usezeranywa nk'impano y'Imana ngo ature mu bizera, abahe imbaraga, ariko intumbero hano ni uguhabwa ubwiza kw'Umukiza. Ibi bivuga Kristo ari i buryo bw'Imana kandi arangije umurimo we ku musaraba, kuzuka, no kuzamurwa mu bwiza. Intangiriro y'impano y'Umwuka ni uguhabwa ubwiza bwa Kristo. Umwuka uva ku Mana anyuze mu Mwana, akaza ku bizera kubera ko Yesu yarangije kudutsindishiriza.

Yohana 15:26 "Umufasha naza, uwo nzaboherereza, ava kuri Data, ni we Mwuka w'ukuri ukomoka kuri Data, azampamya:"

(2) Yohana 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7-15 :

Yohana 14:16 "Nanjye nzasaba Data, na we azabaha undi Mufasha wo kubana namwe ibihe byose,"

Yohana 14:26 "Ariko Umufasha, ni we Mwuka Wera, uwo Data azatuma mu izina ryanjye, ni we uzabigisha byose, abibutsa ibyo nababwiye byose."

Yohana 15:26 "Umufasha naza, uwo nzaboherereza, ava kuri Data, ni we Mwuka w'ukuri ukomoka kuri Data, azampamya:"

Yohana 16:7-15 "Ariko ndababwira ukuri yuko ikizagira icyo kibamarira, ari uko ngenda: kuko nintagenda, Umufasha atazaza aho muri: ariko ningenda, nzamuboherereza. 8 Ubwo azaza, azatsinda ab'isi, abemeze iby'icyaha n'ibyo gukiranuka n'iby'amateka; 9 iby'icyaha, kuko batanyizeye; 10 n'ibyo gukiranuka, kuko njya kwa Data, kandi namwe muzaba mutakimbona: 11 n'iby'amateka, kuko umutware w'ab'iyi si aciriweho iteka. 12 Ndacyafite ibyo kubabwira byinshi, ariko ubu ntimubasha kubyihanganira. 13 Uwo Mwuka w'ukuri n'aza, azabayobora mu kuri kose: kuko atazavuga ku bwe, ahubwo ibyo azumva, ni byo azavuga: kandi azababwira ibyenda kubaho. 14 Uwo azanyubahiriza: kuko azenda ku byanjye, akabibabwira. 15 Ibyo Data afite byose ni ibyanjye: ni cyo gitumye mvuga nti, Azenda ku byanjye, abibabwire."

Muri buri gice Umwuka yitwa "Umufasha," (parakletos). Ku bw'imiterere y'umurimo, rishobora gusobanurwa kurushaho ngo, "Udushoboza." Muri Parakletos harimo igitekerezo cyo gukomeza, guhumuriza, gutera inkunga, gusabira, kugira inama, no guha imbaraga. Aduha imbaraga cyangwa adushoboza mu mirimo inyuranye Ye. Ariko nta na hamwe muri ibi uko ari bine impano n'umurimo by'Umwuka bitubuza kubona umurimo w'Umwana, Umwami Yesu. Ahubwo intumbero ni uko adushoboza (a) yoherejwe mu izina rya Kristo, (b) yibutsa ibyo Kristo yigishije abigishwa be, (c) aduhamiriza Kristo, (d) yoherejwe n'Umukiza ubwe, (e) ntavuga ku bwe, (f) akuza Umukiza, kandi (g) afata ku bya Kristo akabidusobanurira.

Umwuka Wera ntadukangurira kumwitaho cyangwa kwita ku muntu, ahubwo adukangurira gutumbira Umwami Yesu Kristo n'icyo Imana yakoreye mu Mwana wayo. Intego Ye mu mirimo Ye yose ni ugukuza kwizera kwacu, ibyiringiro byacu, urukundo rwacu, gusenga kwacu, ukwumvira kwacu, ubusabane bwacu, no kwiha Kristo kwacu.

Iri hame n'iyi ntumbero ni byo duheraho tugenzura abavuga iby'Umwuka n'ukuri kw'ibyo bivuga tugereranije na Bibiliya. Swindoll yaranditse ati:

Reka ngaruke ku kintu nizera ko mudashobora kwibagirwa. Igihe ukora umurimo w`ihimbaza ubwawo aho guhimbaza Kristo, ujye umenya ko Umwuka w'Imana aba atari muri uwo murimo. Iyo ukurikira umuyobozi uhabwa ikuzo ry'uwo murimo aho kuba Kristo, Umwuka w'Imana si we uha uwo imbaraga ubuyobozi bwe. Iyo uri umwe mu bagize ishuri rya gikristo cyangwa ishyirahamwe ryohereza abamisiyoneri cyangwa irindi shyirahamwe rya gikristo rifite undi muntu uhabwa ikuzo utari Kristo, ntirihabwa imbaraga n'Umwuka w'Imana. Menya ibi: UMWUKA AHA IKUZO KRISTO. Reka nongereho ikindi; niba Umwuka Wera ubwe ari We witabwaho kandi ukuzwa, Umwuka ntabirimo! Kristo ni We ugomba guhabwa ikuzo igihe Umwuka akora. Umwuka akorera umurimo We ahiherereye, si ku mucyo. Ntangarira cyane ibyo ku byerekeye umurimo We.⁵⁰

Umurimo w'Umwuka

Mu buryo bwo gusobanura no gutegura icyo Umwuka ari cyo ku bizera, byadufasha kumenya ibi bikurikira :

Mu buryo butubuza: Nta na rimwe umwizera abwirwa gushaka cyangwa ategekwa (a) kubatizwa n'Umwuka cyangwa mu Mwuka, (b) cyangwa guturwamo n'Umwuka, (c) cyangwa gusigwa amavuta n'Umwuka, (d) cyangwa gushyirwaho ikimenyetso n'Umwuka, (e) cyangwa mu bihe byacu gusaba Umwuka (Luka 11:13 yabayeho mbere ya Pentekoti). Ahubwo, ibi byose bivugwa mu Isezerano Rishya nk'ibyakozwe mu bihe by'itorero.

Mu buryo budutegeka: Amategeko yonyine yo mu Isezerano Rishya yahawe abizera ku byerekeye Umwuka Wera ku byo kuzura Umwuka Wera cyangwa kugendera mu Mwuka uba atuye muri twe. Hari amategeko ane gusa yerekeye Umwuka n'ubugingo bw'umwizera. Abiri aradutegeka, n'andi abiri akatubuza.

(1) Amategeko adutegeka: Dutegekwa "kwuzura Umwuka" hamwe no "kugendera mu Mwuka."

Abefeso 5:18 "Kandi ntimugasinde inzoga zirimo ubukubaganyi: ahubwo mwuzure Umwuka."

Abagalatiya 5:16 na 25 "Ndavuga nti: Muyoborwe n'Umwuka, kuko ari bwo mutazakora ibyo kamere irarikira;" 25 Niba tubeshwaho n'Umwuka, tujye tuyoborwa n'Umwuka."

(2) Amategeko atubuza: Dutegekwa "kudateza agahinda Umwuka"no "kutazimya Umwuka."

Abefeso 4:30 "Kandi ntimuteze agahinda Umwuka Wera w'Imana wabashyiriweho kuba ikimenyetso, kugeza ku munsi wo gucungurwa."

1 Abatesalonike 5:19 "Ntimukazimye Umwuka w'Imana,"

Ibyongeye kuri ibi, ibikurikira ni ibice umuntu yagombye kureba nk'ibidutegeka kwuzura Umwuka mu buryo buziguye kubera ko umurimo We uba ukenewe mu bivugwa muri ibi bice.

Yohana 4:24 "Imana ni Umwuka; n'abayisenga bakwiriye kuyisengera mu Mwuka no mu kuri."

Abefeso 6:18 "Musengeshe Umwuka iteka mu buryo bwose bwo gusenga no kwinginga: kandi ku bw'ibyo mugumye rwose kuba maso, musabira abera bose."

Abafilipi 3:3 "Kuko twebwe turi abakebwe gukebwa kwiza, abasenga mu buryo bw'Umwuka w'Imana, tukishimira Kristo Yesu, ntitwiringire iby'umubiri: nubwo njyeweho nabasha kubyiringira."

Abaroma 8:4-13 "Kugira ngo gukiranuka kw'amategeko gusohozwe muri twe, abadakurikiza ibya kamere y'umubiri, ahubwo bakurikiza iby'Umwuka. 5 Abakurikiza ibya kamere y'umubiri, bita ku by'umubiri; naho abakurikiza iby'Umwuka, bakita kuby'Umwuka. Umutima wa kamere utera urupfu, ariko umutima w'umwuka uzana ubugingo n'amahoro: 7 kuko umutima wa kamere ari umwanzi w'Imana, kuko utumvira amategeko y'Imana, ndetse ntushobora kuyumvira. 8 Erega burya abari mu butware bwa kamere ntibashobora kunezeza Imana. 9 Ariko mwebwe ntimuri aba kamere, ahubwo muri ab'Umwuka, niba Uumwuka w'Imana aba muri mwe. Ariko umuntu wese utagira Umwuka wa Kristo, ntaba ari uwe. 10 Niba Kristo aba muri mwe, n'ubwo umubiri uba upfuye uzize ibyaha, Umwuka uba uri muzima ku bwo gukiranuka. 11 Ariko niba Umwuka w'Iyazuye Yesu aba muri mwe, Iyazuye Kristo Yesu izazura n'imibiri yanyu ipfa ku bw'Umwuka wayo uba muri mwe. 12 Nuko rero, bene Data, turi mu mwenda, ariko si uwa kamere y'imibiri yacu, ngo dukurikize ibyayo: 13 kuko niba mukurikiza ibya kamere y'umubiri, muzapfa; ariko nimwicisha Umwuka ingeso za kamere, muzarama."

Icyo Umwuka ari cyo ku bizera mu gutura muri bo

Mu guteguza kuza kw'Umwuka, muri Yohana 14:17 Kristo yavuze guhinduka kumwe kugomba kubaho ku bw'ubusabane bw'Umwuka n'abizera aho yavuze ati, "...kubera ko aba muri mwe (Isezerano Rya Kera) kandi azaba muri mwe (Isezerano Rishya)." Kubera uku gutura mu bizera bose, Umwuka ahinduka ikimenyetso: gusigwa, ingwate, no kudushoboza. Ibi byose biva mu by'uko atura muri twe kuva igihe dukijijwe.

(1) Ikimenyetso

2 Abakorinto 1:21-22 "Imana ni yo idukomezanya namwe muri Kristo, kandi ni yo yadusize. 22 Ni yo yadushyizeho ikimenyesto, iduha Umwuka wayo mu mitima yacu ho ingwate."

Abefeso 1:13-14 "Ni we namwe mwiringiye, mumaze kumva Ijambo ry'ukuri, ni ryo Butumwa Bwiza bw'agakiza kanyu: kandi mumaze kwizera, ni We wabashyizeho ikimenyesto, ni cyo Mwuka Wera wasezeranijwe, 14 uwo twahaweho ingwate yo kuzaragwa wa murage, kugeza ubwo abo Imana yaronse izabacungura, ubwiza bwayo bushimwe."

Dukurikije 2 Abakorinto 1:21-22, Imana Data (uvuga) ni Yo idushyiraho ikimenyetso. Umwuka Wera ni ikimenyetso, kandi abizera ni abashyizweho ikimenyetso cy'Imana (Umwuka). Ikimenyetso cyerekana nyiri ikintu n'umutekano.

Indi ngaruka yo gutura k'Umwuka ni ikimenyetso cya nyiri ikintu (reba Abefeso 1:13-14) kibaho mu gihe cyo kwizera. Ikimenyetso ku kintu mu bihe by'Isezerano Rishya cyerekana icyo kintu kandi kikerekana nyira cyo, ushobora "kukirinda." Bityo rero, mu gakiza, Umwuka Wera, nk'ikimenyetso, ahamya ko abakristo basa na Kristo kandi akaba ari ab'Imana, barindwa na Yo (reba mu1 Abakorinto 6:19-20). Ahari iki ni cyo cyatumye Pawulo yiyita umugaragu wa Kristo mu Abaroma 1:1; Abafilipi 1:1.⁵¹

(2) Ugusigwa

1 Yohana 2:20 na 27 "Nyamara mwebweho, mwasizwe n'Uwera, kandi muzi byose." 27 "Kuko gusigwa mwasizwe na we kuguma muri mwe, ni cyo gituma mutagomba umuntu wo kubigisha: kandi nk'uko uko gusiga kwe kubigisha byose, kukaba ari uk'ukuri, atari ibinyoma, kandi nk'uko kwabigishije, mube ari ko muguma muri we."

Na none, Imana Data, ni yo ivuga mu 1 Abakorinto 1:21, ni Yo idusiga; Umwuka Wera, nko mu ri 1 Yohana 2:20 na 27 bisobanuwe neza, ni We dusigwa; kandi na twe nk'abizera Kristo ni twe dusigwa.

Ibintu n'abantu byarasigwaga mu Isezerano Rya Kera, mu kwerekana ukwera, cyangwa gutoranirizwa Imana: inkingi (reba mu Itangiriro 28:18); ihema ry'ikoraniro n'ibikoresho byo muri ryo (Kuva 30:22 n'ikurikira); ingabo (2 Samueli 1:21; Yesaya 21:5: ahari ukurobanurirwa intambara yera, reba Gutegeka 23:9 n'ikurikira); abami (Abacamanza 9:8; 2 Samueli 2:4; 1 Abami 1:34); abatambyi (Kuva 28:41); abahanuzi (1 Abami 19:16) ... Mu kuri, gusiga cyari igikorwa cy'Imana (1 Samweli 10:1), kandi ijambo "uwasizwe" ryakoreshwaga mu buryo bwo gushushanya risobanura gushyirwaho ubuntu bw'Imana (Zaburi 23:5; 92:10) cyangwa kurobanurirwa umwanya wihariye cyangwa umurimo mu mugambi w'Imana (Zaburi 105:15; Yesaya 45:1). Byongeye, gusigwa byerekana ikintu cyo gukoreshwa, kandi bijyana no gusuka Umwuka w'Imana (1 Samueli 10:1, 9; 16:13; Yesaya 61:1; Zekaria 4:1-14). Ugushimangira aha ni ukwanjye. Uku gukoreshwa kwarakomeje mu Isezerano Rishya (Ibyakozwe 10:38; 1 Yohana 2:20, 27). ⁵²

Umurimo w'Umwuka dusigwa wo gutuma dusa na Kristo ni ishusho yo gutura k'Umwuka Wera nk'igikorwa cy'Imana kidutoranya, kikaturobanura, ndetse kikadutegurira umurimo mu mugambi w'Imana. Mu buryo bweruye rero, si byo gusaba Imana gusiga umwizera n'Umwuka mu kumutegurira umurimo runaka. Isengesho rirushijeho kuba ryiza ryaba iry'uko usabirwa yayoborwa n'imbaraga z'Umwuka, cyangwa ko yagirirwa n'Umwuka mu buryo butangaje kuko Umwuka ahoraho nk'uwo Imana isigisha (reba mu 2 Abakorinto 1:21-22; muri1 Yohana 2:20, 27).

(3) Ingwate

Gutura mu bugingo bw'abizera k'Umwuka kubonwa n'Imana nk'ingwate yayo (ni ukuvuga icyo umuntu yakoreye cyangwa igice cya mbere cy'inyishyu) ko Imana izasohoza amasezerano yayo ku bizera kandi ko agakiza kacu tuzakabona (Abefeso 1:14). Reba mu 2 Abakorinto 1:21-22.

"Imana ni yo idukomezanya namwe muri Kristo, kandi ni yo yadusize. 22 Ni yo yadushyizeho ikimenyetso, iduha Umwuka wayo mu mitima yacu ho ingwate."

Uku gucungurwa ubu ni ikibanziriza ibyo tuzabona mu bugingo bw'iteka (reba mu Abaroma 8:23), n'Umwuka Wera kuba mu mitima yacu (reba mu Abaroma 5:5; 2 Abakorinto 5:5) ni nk'ingwate, iduhamiriza ko dufite ikizaza. Aya magambo arindwi ya nyuma ni ibisobanuro by'ijambo rimwe ry'Ikigiriki arrabona, igice cya mbere cy'inyishyu gihatira uwishyura kwishyura ibisigaye. Iryo jambo ry'Ikigiriki rikoreshwa na none mu 2 Abakorinto 5:5 no mu Befeso 1:14 (reba "umuganura w'Umwuka,” mu Abaroma 8:23).⁵³

(4) Udushoboza

Yohana 14:26 "Ariko Umufasha, ni We Mwuka Wera, uwo Data azatuma mu izina ryanjye, ni We uzabigisha byose, abibutse ibyo nababwiye byose."

Yohana 16:7 "Ariko ndababwira ukuri yuko ikizagira icyo kibamarira, ari uko ngenda: kuko nintagenda, Umufasha atazaza aho muri: ariko ningenda, nzamuboherereza."

Muri ibi bice Umwami yasezeranije abigishwa ko azabaha "undi Mufasha." "Undi" ni ijambo ry'Ikigiriki allos risobanura ngo "undi umeze nk'uwa mbere." Ibi byerekeye Umwuka Wera nk'umuntu wa gatatu wo mu butatu, kandi akaba ahuje uko ateye n'imbaraga n'Umwami Yesu Kristo. Adahari, nta cyaba kibuze. Mu kuri, byagomba kubabera byiza (Yohana 16:7) ko Yesu agenda noneho Umwuka Wera akabona akaza mu mwanya We agatura mu bugingo bw'abizera.

Umwuka yitwa "Umufasha." Iri ni ijambo ry'Ikigiriki parakletos kandi ryerekeye uhamagarirwa gufasha mu mwanya w'undi nk'udusabira, umuhuza, umufasha. Risobanurwa kwinshi, "Umufasha," "utuburanira," "umujyanama," n' "udukomeza." Ku bw'umugambi n'umurimo w'Umwuka hamwe n'ubusobanuro bw'iri jambo, ahari "udushoboza" ni bwo busobanuro bwiza kurusha ubundi bwose. Ntiyaje gutanga ubufasha gusa, nk'uko umukozi afasha umukoresha we cyangwa nk'uko umuntu afasha undi. Ahubwo yaraje, atura muri twe ngo adushoboze - kuduha imbaraga mu bugingo bwa gikristo ku bwo gutanga ubuhamya, gusenga, kwumvira, n'ibindi. Iyi nyito y'Umwuka ntitwigisha gusa icyo ari cyo kuri twe, ahubwo icyo turi cyo tutayobowe na We n'umurimo We - tudafite ubushobozi cyangwa ububasha (Yohana 14:16, 26; 16:7).

Icyo Umwuka akora

Nta gice cy'ubgugingo bw'umwizera kidakeneye Umwuka. Ibikurikira byerekana uko umurimo w'Umwuka nk'Udushoboza wuzuye.

(1) Yemeza kandi agahishurira abantu Yesu Kristo

Yohana 16:8-11 "Ubwo azaza, azatsinda ab'isi, abemeze iby'icyaha n’ibyo gukiranuka n'iby'amateka; 9 iby'icyaha, kuko batanyizeye; 10 n'ibyo gukiranuka, kuko njya kwa Data, kandi namwe muzaba mutakimbona: n'iby'amateka, kuko umutware w'ab'iyi si aciriweho iteka."

(2) Abuza icyaha mu isi

Itangiriro 6:3 "Uwiteka aravuga ati: Umwuka wanjye ntazahora aruhanya n'abantu iteka ryose, kuko ari abantu b'umubiri: nuko rero iminsi yabo izaba imyaka ijana na makumyabiri ."

2 Abatesalonike 2:6-7 "Kandi none muzi yuko ikimubuza ari ukugira ngo azahishurwe mu gihe cye; 7 kuko amayoberane y'ubugome n'ubu atangiye gukora:ariko ntazahishurwa keretse uyabuza ubu akuweho."

(3) Aduha ubugingo bushya

Tito 3:5 "iradukiza, itabitewe n'imirimo yo gukiranuka twakoze, ahubwo ku bw'imbabazi zayo, idukirisha kuhagirwa, ni ko kubyarwa ubwa kabiri, ikadukirisha no guhindurwa bashya n'Umwuka Wera;"

(4) Abatiza muri Kristo

1 Abakorinto 12:13 "Kuko mu Mwuka umwe twese ari mwo twabatirijwe ku bw'umubiri umwe, n’aho twaba Abayuda cyangwa Abagiriki, n’aho twaba imbata cyangwa ab'umudendezo. Kandi twese twujujwe Umwuka umwe."

(5) Atanga imbaraga kandi agashyira imico ya Kristo mu bamwubaha mu kwizera

Abagalatiya 4:19 "Bana banjye bato, abo nongera kuramukwa kugeza aho Kristo azaremerwa muri mwe;"

Abagalatiya 5:5 "Naho twebwe, ku bw'Umwuka, dutegereje kuzakiranuka, twiringiye ko tuzabiheshwa no kwizera."

Abagalatiya 5:16-23 "Ndavuga nti: Muyoborwe n'Umwuka, kuko ari bwo mutazakora ibyo kamere irarikira; 17 kuko kamere irarikira ibyo Umwuka yanga, kandi Umwuka yifuza ibyo kamere yanga: kuko ibyo bihabanye, ni cyo gituma ibyo mushaka gukora atari byo mukora. 18 Ariko niba muyoborwa n'Umwuka, ntimuba mugitwarwa n'amategeko. 19 Dore imirimo ya kamere iragaragara; ni iyi: gusambana no gukora ibiteye isoni, n'iby'isoni nke, 20 no gusenga ibishushanyo, no kuroga, no kwangana, no gutongana, n'ishyari, n'umujinya, n'amahane, no kwitandukanya, no kwirema ibice, 21 no kugomanwa, no gusinda, n'ibiganiro bibi, n'ibindi bisa bityo. Ndababwira hakiri kare, nk'uko nababwiye kera, yuko abakora ibisa bityo batazaragwa ubwami bw'Imana. 22 Ariko rero imbuto z'Umwuka ni urukundo, n'ibyishimo, n'amahoro, no kwihangana, no kugira neza, n'ingeso nziza, no gukiranuka, 23 no kugwa neza, no kwirinda: ibimeze bityo nta mategeko abirwanya."

(6) Afasha gukura mu Mwuka (reba n’ Abagalatiya 5:11-6:6)

Abagalatiya 3:1-3 "Yemwe Bagalatia b'abapfapfa, ni nde wabaroze, mweretswe Yesu Kristo nk'ubambwe ku musaraba mu maso yanyu? 2 Ibi byonyine ni byo nshaka ko mumbwira. Mbese imirimo itegetswe n'amategeko ni yo yabahesheje Umwuka, cyangwa se ni uko mwumvise mukizera? 3 Muri abapfapfa mutyo? Mwatangiye iby'Umwuka, none mubiherukije iby'umubiri?

(7) Arigisha: atanga gusobanukirwa Ijambo ry'Imana

Yohana 14:26 "Ariko Umufasha, ni we Mwuka Wera, uwo Data azatuma mu izina ryanjye, ni we uzabigisha byose, abibutse ibyo nababwiye byose."

Abefeso 3:16-18 "Ngo abahe, nk'uko ubutunzi bw'ubwiza bwe buri, gukomezwa cyane mu mitima yanyu ku bw'Umwuka we; 17 kandi ngo Kristo ahore mu mitima yanyu ku bwo kwizera, kugira ngo, ubwo mumaze gushorera imizi mu rukundo, mukaba mushikamye, 18 muhabwe imbaraga zo kumenya hamwe n'abera bose ubugari, n'uburebure bw'umurambararo, n'uburebure bw'igihagararo, n'uburebure bw'ikijyepfo bwarwo ubwo ari bwo,"

(8) Azana ukuri mu byo duhura na byo (reba no muri Yohana 14:26; mu Abefeso 6:18)

Abaroma 8:16 "Umwuka w'Imana ubwe ahamanya n'umwuka wacu, yuko turi abana b'Imana:"

(9) Aha imbaraga ubugingo bwacu bwo gusenga

Yuda 20 “Ariko mwebweho, bakundwa,mwiyubake ku byo kwizera byera cyane, musengere mu Mwuka Wera.”

Yohana 15:7 "Nimuguma muri njye, amagambo yanjye akaguma muri mwe, musabe icyo mushaka cyose, muzagihabwa."

Zaburi 66:18 "Iyaba naribwiraga ibyo gukiranirwa mu mutima wanjye, Uwiteka ntaba anyumviye."

(10) Adufasha mu kuramya gufite agaciro (reba no muri Yohana 4:23-24; mu Abefeso 5:18-21; no muri Yesaya 59:1-2)

Abafilipi 3:3 "kuko twebwe turi abakebwe gukebwa kwiza, abasenga mu buryo bw'Umwuka w'Imana, tukishimira Kristo Yesu, ntitwiringire iby'umubiri:nubwo njyeweho nabasha kubyiringira."

(11) Atanga ubushobozi, ireme n'ubuyobozi mu gutanga ubuhamya

Ibyakozwe 1:8 "Icyakora muzahabwa imbaraga, Umwuka Wera n'abamanukira; kandi muzaba abagabo bo kumpamya, i Yerusalemu n'i Yudaya yose n'i Samaria no kugeza ku mpera y'isi."

1 Abatesalonike 1:5 "Kuko ubutumwa twahawe butabagezeho ari amagambo gusa, ahubwo bwabagezeho bufite n'imbaraga n'Umwuka Wera no kubemeza kudashidikanya. Namwe ubwanyu muzi uko twameraga muri mwe ku bwanyu."

(12) Atanga ubushobozi ku murimo. Ibi byerekeye impano z'Umwuka zigomba gukoreshwa mu mbaraga z'Umwuka bivuye mu rukundo - ni wo murimo w'Umwuka

1 Abakortinto 1:12-14 "Icyo mvuze ngiki, ni uko umuntu wese muri mwe avuga ati: Jyeweho ndi uwa Pawulo; undi akavuga ati: Ariko njyeweho ndi uwa Apolo; undi na we ati: Njyeweho ndi uwa Kefa; undi ati: Njyeweho ndi uwa Kristo." 13 Mbese Kristo yagabanijwemo ibice? Pawulo ni we wababambiwe? Cyangwa mwabatijwe mu izina rya Pawulo? 14 Nshimira Imana yuko ari nta n'umwe nabatije muri mwe, keretse Krispo na Gayo;"

1 Petero 4:10 "Kandi nk'uko umuntu yahawe impano, abe ariko muzigaburirana, nk'uko bikwiriye ibisonga byiza by'ubuntu bw'Imana bw'uburyo bwinshi."

Kuba Umwuka Wera ari Umufasha wacu udushoboza muri iyi mirimo inyuranye, byerekana ukuntu Umwuka akenewe bitangaje mu mibereho yacu ya buri munsi. Byerekana ukuntu ari ngombwa ko tugendera mu Mwuka, ni ukuvuga, twishingikirije iteka kuri We (Abagalatiya 5:5, 16; Abefeso 3:16-17). Amasomo akurikira yerekeye ku mahame ya Bibiliya n'amasezerano yayo atwigisha ku by'umurimo w'umwuka n'ukuntu twagendera mu mbaraga Ze.

Intangiriro

Bibiliya ni igitabo umukristo avomamo imigisha. Ni igitabo gikubiyemo ibigenga ubugingo bwe, umucyo umurikira inzira ze, n’umugereka wo kwizera no kubishyira mu bikorwa. Bibiliya ni Ijambo ry’Imana - uguhishurwa kwayo kw’umwihariko umuntu agomba kwiyezesha no kuyoboka inzira z’Imana. Nko guhishurwa kw’Imana ku muntu, Bibiliya yigisha umuntu ibintu adashobora kwiga ku bugingo n’urupfu atari mu guhishurwa kw’Imana kwihariye nk’uko Pawulo abivuga mu 1 Abakorinto 2:9-10.

1 Abakorinto 2:9-10 ‘Ariko, nk’uko byanditswe ngo: Iby’ijisho ritigeze kureba, n’iby’ugutwi kutigeze kumva, ibitigeze kwinjira mu mutima w’umuntu, ibyo byos’Imana yabyiteguriy’abayikunda 10 Arikw’Imana yabiduhishurishij’Umwuka wayo: kuk’Umwuka arondora byose, ndetse n’amayoberane y’Imana.’

Zaburi 119:9-11 ‘Umusore azez’inzira y’ate? Azayezesha kuyitondera nkukw’ ijambo ryawe ritegeka. Nagushakishij’ umutima wose; ntukunde ko nyoba ngo ndek’ibyo wategetse.’

Uku guhishurwa kurimo ibintu nk’ukuri kwerekey’ Imana mu butatu ( uko iteye, imico, imigambi, na gahunda); ibintu byerekeye umuntu (inkomoko ye, imico ye, kugwa kwa Adamu, icyaha, n’ibyo akeneye) ibyerekey’isi n’aho yaturutse h’ukuri nk’icyaremwe n’Umuremyi no gucungurwa kwayo; ibyerekeye Satani n’imbaraga z’ikibi mu isi; ibyerekeye umugambi w’Imana w’agakiza k’umuntu kubwo kwizera Umwana wayo Yesu Kristo n’umurimo We, (gukizwa igihano cy’icyaha, imbaraga zacyo, ndetse umunsi umwe gukizwa icyaha ubwacyo); Umwuka Wera n’umurimo We; no ku byerekeye ibintu by’igihe kizaza. Kubera ko umuntu agira aho adashobora kurenga, guhuma gusanzwe kwe ku by’Umwuka, na kamere ye y’icyaha, Bibiliya ni (nkuko nyakwigendera Dogiteri Lewis Sperry Chafer yanditse) igitabo umuntu adashobora kwandika, yabishaka cyangwa atashaka, nubwo yaba afite bushobozi.

Kubera ibyo ikora n’icyo iri cyo, Bibiliya ni cyo gitabo cy’ingenzi kurusha ibindi mu bugingo bw’umukristo. Reba iyi mirongo ikurikira yatoranijwe:

Matayo 5:18-19 ‘Kandi ndababwira ukuri yuko ijuru n’isi kugeza aho bizashirira, amategeko atazavaho inyuguti imwe cyangwa agace kayo gato, kugeza aho byose bizarangirira. 19 Nuko uzica rimwe ryo muri ayo mategeko, naho ryaba ryoroshye hanyuma y’ayandi, akigisha abandi kugira batyo, mu bwami bwo mu ijuru azitwa mutoya rwose: ariko uzayakora akayigisha abandi, mu bwami bwo mu ijuru azitwa mukuru.’

2 Timoteyo 3:16-17 ‘Ibyanditswe Byera byose byahumetswe n’Imana, kandi bigir’umumaro wo kwigish’umuntu, no kumwemez’ibyaha bye, no kumutunganya, no kumuhanira gukiranuka: 17 kugira ng’ umuntu w’ Imana ab’ ashyitse, afit’ ibimukwiriye byose, ngw’ akor’ imirimo mwiza yose.’

2 Petero 1:18-21 ‘Iryo jwi twaryumvise rivugira mw’ ijuru, ubwo twari kumwe na we kuri wa musozi wera. Nyamara rero dufit’Ijambo ryahanuwe, rirushaho gukomera, kandi muzaba mukoze neza, ni muryitaho, kuko rimeze nk’ itabaza rimurikir’ ahacuz’ umwijima, rigakesh’ ijoro, rikagez’ ahw’ inyenyeri yo muruturuturu izabandurira mu mitima yanyu.’

Abakristo ntibagomba kumenya Bibiliya byonyine, bagomba no kumenya ibyerekeye Bibiliya yabo. Ni iby’ingenzi kumenya neza agaciro kayo kugira ngo barusheho gushaka kuyikoresha uko bikwiriye ku by’uko iteye, umugambi wayo, n’inkomoko zayo. Kubera ko gusobanukirwa by’Umwuka, kwizera, kubishyira mu bikorwa, no kwubaha Imana bishingiye kuri Bibiliya, inyigisho ya Bibiliya (Bibliologie) ni imwe mu nyigisho z’ingenzi z’Ibyanditswe umuntu akwiriye kumenya.

Dawidi yaranditse ati, ‘Ndasenga nerekeye urusengero rwawe rwera, nshimira izina ryawe, imbabazi zawe n’umurava wawe: Kuko washyirishije hejuru Ijambo ryawe kurisohoza, ngo rirute ibyo izina ryawe ryose ryatwiringiza’ (Zaburi 138:2). (Gushimangira ni ukwanjye).

Bibiliya yitwa NASB ivuga igice cya kabiri cy’uwo murongo itya iti, ‘kuko washyize hejuru Ijambo ryawe ku bw’ izina ryawe ryose’. Bibiliya yitwa NIV yo ibivuga itya iti, ‘Kuko washyize izina ryawe n’Ijambo ryawe hejuru y’ibintu byose’.

‘Kubwo’ (NASB) cyangwa ‘hejuru’ (KJV) ryerekana mu Giheburayo igihimba cy’inshinga gadal wongeyeho akabanzirizajambo al. Ibi bishobora kuvuga ubusanzwe ‘hejuru’ nk’uko KJV irisobanura, ariko ubu bwose ni ubusobanuro bushoboka. Tudakurikije ubusobanuro umuntu yemera, uwo murongo uvuga agaciro k’Ijambo ry’Imana ku kumenya no kuramya Imana.. Nk’uko bivugwa rimwe na rimwe, ‘izina ry’ umuntu risa n’ijambo rye’, ni ko n’izina ry’ Imana no kumenya Imana bishingiye ku kuri, kwiringirwa, ukuri kw’Ijambo ryayo no kumenya Ibyanditswe kw’umuntu. Hamwe n’ibiri ku mutima, reka turebe icyo Bibiliya ari cyo.

Ibiranga Bibiliya
(Zaburi 19:7-14)

Zaburi 19:7-14 ‘Amategeko y’Uwiteka atungana rwose, asubiz’intege mu bugingo, Iby’Uwiteka yahamije n’ibyo kwizerwa, bih’umusw’ubwenge, 8 Amategek’Uwiteka yigishij’araboneye, anezez’umutima, Iby’Uwiteka yategetse ntibyanduye, bihwejesh’amaso. 9 Kubah’Uwiteka ni. kwiza, guhorahw’iteka ryose, Amateka y’Uwiteka n’ay’ukuri, n’ayo gukiranuka rwose. 10 Bikwiriye kwifuzwa kurut’izahabu, naho yab’izahabu nziza nyinshi: Biryoherera kurut’ubuki n’umushongi w’ibinyag’utonyanga. 11 Kandi ni byo bihan’umugaragu wawe; Kubyitondera harimw’ingororan’ikomeye. 12 Ni nd’ubasha kwitegereza kujijwa kwe, Ntumbarehw’ibyaha byanyihishe. 13 Kand’ujy’urind’umugaragu wawe gukor’ibyaha by’ibyitumano, Bye kuntwara, uko ni ko nzatungana rwose, Urubanza rw’igicumuro gikomeye ntiruzansinda. 14 Amagambo yo mu kanwa kanjye n’iby’umutima wanjye wibgira bishimwe mu maso yawe, Uwiteka, gitare cyanjye, mucunguzi wanjye.’

Yahumetswe n’Imana: Guhishurwa kwahumetswe n’Imana

Ingero zikurikira zerekana ubuhamya bwa Bibiliya ku byerekeye yo ubwayo nko guhishurwa kwahumetswe n’Imana. Ubu buhamya bukeneye gutegerwa amatwi, ariko nihagira udashaka kumva ubu buhamya - kandi abenshi ntibashaka kubwumva - ntibirengagiza ubuhamya bwa Bibiliya gusa, ubuhamya bw’uko yisobanura ubwayo, ahubwo banirengagiza n’ibihamya byinshi bifite uburemere butangaje buha agaciro ubuhamya bwa Bibiliya.

Ibi bihamya birimo ibyo Bibiliya ikizeho bitarondoreka, uko ikurikiranya ibintu mu buryo butangaje kuva mu Itangiriro ukageza ku Byahishuwe; uko yakwiriye isi, uko Bibiliya Yera itwigisha uko dukwiriye kwitwara; ukwiringirwa kwayo kudasubirwaho kutugezaho ukuri no kutaduhisha ibyaha by’abantu bakomeye bo muri Bibiliya; uko usanga ikwiranye n’ibisekuru byose uko byakurikiranye; ubuhamya bw’ubushakashatsi ku byabayeho kera; uko ubuhanuzi bwagiye busohora; imbaraga zayo mu guhindura abantu n’imiryango; n’ukuntu yabashije gukomeza kubaho nubwo yarwanijwe n’abantu bamwe hanyuma y’abandi bashaka kuyikuraho cyangwa kuyisebya.

Ibi bigaragara cyane iyo turebye uko Bibiliya yarinzwe ugereranije n’ibindi bitabo byanditswe kera.⁶⁶

Ubuhamya bw’ingenzi ku kuri kwa Bibiliya n’Ijambo ry’Imana ni Yesu Kristo. Kuki ubuhamya Bwe ari ubw’ingenzi? Kuko Imana yemeje kandi igahamya ko ari Umwana wayo ubwayo ku bwo kumuzura (reba Ibyakozwe 2:22-36; 4:8-12; 17:30-31; Abaroma 1:4). Kristo yahamije ku buryo bugaragara ubutware bw’Isezerano Rya Kera n’Isezerano Rishya ryari ritegerejwe.

Reba ibyo Kristo yigishije ku byerekeye Isezerano Rya Kera:

• Ubutware bwaryo (Matayo 22:43)
• Ukwizerwa kwaryo (Matayo 26:54)
• Ukuzura kwaryo (Matayo 4:4, 7, 10)
• Ukwihaza kwaryo (Luka 16:31)
• Ukutabasha kurimburwa kwaryo (Matayo 5:17-18)
• Ubumwe bwaryo (Luka 24:27, 44)
• Ugusobanuka kwaryo (Luka 24:27)
• Iby’Amateka byaryo (Matayo 12:40)
• Ugufatika kwaryo (mu by’ubuhanga) (Matayo 19:-5)
• Kudahaba kwaryo (Matayo 22:29; Yohana 3:12; 17:17)
• Ukudakuka kwaryo (Yohana 10:35) ⁶⁷

Hamwe n’ibi ku mutima, reka turebe ubuhamya bw’ukuntu yisobanura ubwayo. Mu rukiko rukurikiza amategeko urwo ari rwo rwose, uwiregura aba afite uburenganzira bwo kuburanirwa no gutegerwa amatwi.

Ibyo guhumekwa n’Imana

‘Ibyanditswe Byera byose byahumetswe n’Imana, kandi bigir’umumaro wo kwigish’umuntu, no kumwemez’ibyaha bye, no kumutunganya, no kumuhanira gukiranuka ...’ (2 Timoteyo 3:16).

Ibyanditswe Byera byose byabwirijwe cyangwa byahumetswe (theopneustos) n’Imana. Muri Bibiliya Yera (Kinyarwanda) usobanure ngo ‘Ibyanditswe Byera byose byahumetswe n’Imana’. Ibi bituganisha ku buryo n’isoko y’Uwabwirije abanditsi. Ijambo ry’Ikinyarwanda ‘kubwiriza’ turyumvamo guhumekera mu kintu runaka. Ijambo ry’Ikigiriki, icyakora, ryigisha ko Imana yahumetse Ibyanditswe Byera. Nubwo Imana yakoresheje abanditsi b’abantu kwandukura Ubutumwa bwayo, Bibiliya ikomoka ku Mana yayihumetse ikoresheje abanditsi b’abantu. Yakoresheje amagambo yayo, ibyo bazi, ubumuntu bwabo, ariko ni Yo nkomoko y’ibanze naho bo bari ibikoresho-bantu. Ibindi byinshi bizavugwa kuri ibi hepfo aha ubwo tuzareba ‘impamvu yo guhumekwa n’Imana’.

Ikigero na kamere byo guhumekwa n’Imana

Ibyanditswe Byera byose, Bibiliya yose, Itangiriro kugeza Ibyahishuwe, byahumetswe n’Imana kandi bigira umumaro. Ibi bitwerekeza ku kigero cyo guhumekwa n’Imana. Byose byahumetswe n’Imana. Abahanga mu bya Teolojiya bakunze kubyita guhumekwa kwuzuye.

Zaburi 119:140 ‘Ijambo ryawe ryaravugutiwe cyane; Ni cyo gitum’umugaragu wawe ndikunda’.

Zaburi 19:7-9 ‘Amategeko y’Uwiteka atungana rwose, asubiz’intege mu bugingo, Iby’Uwiteka yahamije n’ibyo kwizerwa, bih’umusw’ubwebwe, 8 Amategek’Uwiteka yigishij’araboneye, anezez’umutima, Iby’Uwiteke yategetse ntibyanduye, bihwejesh’amaso. 9 Kubah’Uwiteka ni kwiza, guhorahw’iteka ryose, Amateka y’Uwiteka n’ay’ukuri, n’ayo gukiranuka rwose’.

Icyo bitanga ni uko Bibiliya yose ari ‘ukuri, yageragejwe, itunganye, yizewe, iboneye, isukuye, ishakwa kurusha zahabu, kandi iryohereye kurusha ubuki’. Ugusesengura nk’uko kwerekeza ku kuvugwa, kwuzura, kudahaba no kudakuka kwa kamere ya Bibiliya (reba 1 Abakorinto 2:9-13). Reba imirongo ikurikira aho ibivugwa bifatiye ku ijambo rimwe, Abagalatiya 3:16 ‘urubyaro’; Matayo 22:31-32 ‘ni jye’.

Matayo 5:17-18 ‘Mwitekereza ko naje gukurahw’amategeko cyangw’ibyahanuwe. Sinaje kubikuraho, ahubwo naje kubisohoza. 18 Kandi ndababgir’ukuri yukw’ijuru n’isi kugez’aho bizashirira, amategek’atazavahw’inyugut’imwe cyangw’agace kayo gato, kugez’aho byose bizarangirira.’

Yohana 10:35 ‘Nuk’ubwo yabis’imana, ab’Ijambo ry’Imana ryajeho, kand’Ibyanditswe bitabasha gukuka,’

Abagalatiya 3:16 ‘Nuko rer’ibyasezeranijwe byasezeranijwe Aburahamu n’urubyaro rwe; nyamar’Imana ntirakavug’iti: Imbyaro, nko kuvuga benshi, ahubw’iti: N’urubyaro rwawe nko kuvug’umwe, ni we Kristo.’

Matayo 22:31-32 ‘Ariko se, ibyerekeye ku kuzuka kw’abapfuye, ntimwari mwasom’icy’Imana yababwiye ngo, 32 Ni jye Mana y’Aburahamu, n’Imana ya Isaka, n’Imana ya Yakobo? Imana s’Imana y’abapfuye, ahubwo n’iy’abazima.’

Ku byerekeye kamere nyakuri yo guhumekwa n’Imana n’uko ukuri kwo guhumekwa n’Imana kwarwanijwe imyaka igahindurizwa, Ryrie yaranditse ati :

Mu gihe ibitekerezo byinshi by’abahanga muri Teolojiya bishaka kuvuga ko Bibiliya yahumestwe n’Imana, umuntu asanga benshi badahuza gusobanura iryo jambo guhumekwa. Bamwe baryerekeza ku banditsi, abandi ku byandistwe; abandi na none, ku basomyi. Bamwe baryerekeza ku butumwa rusange bwa Bibiliya, abandi ku bitekerezo; abandi na none, ku magambo. Bamwe barishyiramo .kudahaba; abandi ntibabishyiremo. Uku kuvuguruzanya gusaba gusobanura neza iyo umuntu avuga iby’inyigisho za Bibiliya. Hambere, icyagaragazaga ko umuntu yizera uguhumekwa n’Imana kw’Ijambo ryayo byari kuvuga amagambo, ‘Nizera ko Bibiliya yahumestwe n’Imana’. Mu gihe bamwe batashyiraga amagambo yo muri Bibiliya mu byahumetswe, byaje kuba ngombwa kujya havugwa ‘Nizera ko amagambo yo muri Bibiliya yahumetswe n’Imana’. Kugira ngo umuntu arwanye inyigisho zimwe zavugaga ko ibice byo muri Bibiliya bimwe bitahumetswe n’Imana, umuntu yagombaga kuvuga, ‘Nizera ko amagambo yose yo muri Bibiliya uko yakabaye yahumetswe n’Imana’. Na none kubera ko abantu bamwe batemezaga ko Bibiliya yose uko yakabaye ari ukuri, byabaye ngombwa kuvuga, ‘Nizera ko amagambo yose, yuzuye, adakuka, adahaba, yo muri Bibiliya yahumetswe n’Imana. Ariko nyuma ‘adakuka’ na ‘adahaba’ atangira kwerekezwa ku byo kwizera gusa aho kuba ibyo Bibiliya yanditsemo byose (harimo n’iby’amateka, ibisekuru, inkuru zo kuremwa, n’ibindi) bityo biba ngombwa kwongeraho ibyo ‘.kudahaba kutagira iherezo’. Buri kintu cyagiye cyongerwaho kubera inyigisho z’amafuti zagiye zaduka.⁶⁸

Agaciro ko guhumekwa n’Imana

Kubera ko Ibyanditswe byose byahumetswe n’Imana, akaba ari igikorwa cy’Imana izi ubwenge bwose, izi byose, ishobora byose kandi y’Inyarukundo, Intumwa Pawulo akomeza avuga ko Bibiliya yose uko yakabaye ifite umumaro mu bintu bine :

2 Timoteyo 3:16 ‘Ibyanditswe Byera byose byahumetswe n’Imana, kandi bigir’umumaro wo kwigish’umuntu, no kumwemez’ibyaha bye, no kumutunganya, no kumuhanira gukiranuka;’

(1) Kwigisha - ‘Kwigisha’ ni Ikigiriki didaskalia kandi risobanurwa ngo inyigisho’. Rikoreshwa mu buryo bugaragaza ko ruhamwa ari yo ikora igikorwa cy’inshinga (ni ukuvuga igikorwa cyo kwigisha’, no mu buryo bwerekana ko igikorwa gikorerwa kuri ruhamwa (icyigishwa, inyigisho). Mu nzandiko Pawulo yandikiye abayobozi b’amatorero, Pawulo akoresha igikorwa cyo kwigisha (1 Timoteyo 4:13, 17; 2 Timoteyo 3:10), n’ibyigishwa nko mu nyigisho z’itorero ziboneye (reba 1 Timoteyo 1:10; 4:6, 16; 6:1, 3; 2 Timoteyo 4:3; Tito 1:9; 2:1; 2:7, 10). Nk’uko byinshi muri ibi bice bibyerekana, cyane cyane Tito 2:1, inyigisho ycu igomba guhura n’inyigisho z’itorero ziboneye. Kandi kugira ngo inyigisho z’itorero zibe ziboneye, zigomba guhura n’Ijambo Ryahumetswe n’Imana. Iby’ibanze, inyigisho - ikiyikubiyemo - z’itorero zerekeye amahame-shingiro y’Imana ku bugingo bw’umuntu, bw’iteka kandi bwinshi, iby’ibanze, iby’ishingiro ubugingo bugomba kubakirwaho.

(2) Kwemeza ibyaha - Iri jambo ry’Ikigiriki elegmos risobanura ‘guhamya, kwemeza, kwemeza ibyaha’. Akajambo mos karangiza kerekana ko iri zina ryerekana igikorwa gikorwa kuri ruhamwa yerekana ikigerwaho mu murimo wo kwemeza w’Umwuka mu Ijambo - kwemeza umuntu ku giti cye mu kumugezaho ukuri. Umuntu yagereranya elegmos n’irindi jambo ry’Ikigiriki, elenxis, izina ryerekana ko ruhamwa ari yo ikora igikorwa cy’inshinga yerekeye igikorwa cyo kwemeza ibyaha cyangwa kugeza Ijambo ry’Imana ku muntu. Byombi bigomba gukomeza mu bugingo bw’umwizera. Intego, icyakora, si uburyo bikorwamo gusa. Ni ikigerwaho - umuntu kwemera ibyaha ku giti cye. Nk’umucyo, Bibiliya yemeza ibyaha kandi ikatugezaho uburyo bwinshi twica umugambi n’amahame by’Imana mu mibanire yose y’ubugingo, hamwe n’Imana n’abantu nko mu muryango umwe, mu itorero, no mu muryango mugari. Iyo twemejwe icyaha kandi natwe tukemera ko twacumuye, tuba tugomba gufata umugambi ukomeye. Dushobora kwerekera Imana tukayisubiza ku gukosora kwayo no kumenyereza, cyangwa se dushobora kugoma no kubirwanya. Iyo tubirwanije, nka Data wa twese Imana iraduhana ngo itugarure kuri We.

(3) Gutunganya - Iri jambo ry’Ikigiriki epanorthosis risobanurwa ngo ‘kugorora, gutunganya’. Ryerekana kamere n’ubushobozi bugorora bw’Ibyanditswe kandi rikerekana umurimo w’ako kanya w’Ijambo ry’Imana mu gusubiza ibirenge mu nzira. Umunyezaburi yaranditse ati, ‘Amategeko y’Uwiteka atungana rwose, asubiza intege mu bugingo’ (Zaburi 19:7a).

(4) Guhanira gukiranuka - Ijambo ‘guhana’ ni paidia risobanurwa ‘kumenyereza, kwigisha, guhana’, si mu buryo bwo guhana, ariko mu buryo bw’imyitwarire imenyereza kandi igakomeza imico, imbaraga, ubumenyi bwo gukora ibintu, n’ibindi. Ibi ni ibintu bimara igihe kandi byerekeye ukuri gukomeza imico y’iby’Imana n’imbaraga z’Umwuka - ugukura kw’ukuri n’uburyo bwo kwiga Bibiliya, kuyitekerezaho, no gusenga.

Intego yo guhumekwa n’Imana

Intego ni uko ‘umuntu w’Imana aba ashyitse, afite ibimukwiriye byose’ (2 Timoteyo 3:17). Bibiliya iduha gukomezwa n’Imana n’amahoro yayo nk’uko yerekana urukundo rwayo, kutwitaho, n’ubugwaneza, ariko ibi biri mu kuduhindura ngo duse n’ishusho y’Umwana wayo (Abaroma 8:28- 29) no kuduha ibidukwiriye mu bugingo bw’imirimo myiza (Abefeso 2:10). Kuduha ibidukwiriye bigenewe kuzana gukiranuka n’umurimo w’Imana aho kuba ibyo kwikuza ubwacu.

Abaroma 8:28-29 ‘Kandi tuzi yuko ku bakund’Imana byose bifataniriza hamwe kubazanir’ibyiza, ari bo bahamagawe nk’uko bagambiriye: 29 kukw’abo yamenye kera yabatoranirije kera gushushanywa n’ishusho y’Umwana wayo, kugira ngw’ab’imfura muri bene se benshi.’

Abefeso 2:10 ‘Kuko tur’abo yaremye, ituremey’imirimo myiza muri Kristo Yesu, iy’Imana yiteguriye kera, kugira ngo tuyigenderemo.’

Ijambo ‘ashyitse’ ni Ikigiriki artios risobanurwa ngo ‘ukwiriye, wuzuye, ushoboye, wihagije, ni ukuvuga ushobora kubona ibikenewe byose’. Kuba ‘ukwiriye’ birebana ni ikigerwaho cyangwa igiteganijwe kugerwaho, intego igambiriwe. Ndakeka ko uburyo bikorwamo ubwabwo bugaragarira mu ijambo ‘afite ibimukwiriye’. Reba izi ngingo eshatu ku byerekeye iri jambo :

(1) ‘Afite ibimukwiriye’ ni Ikigiriki ezartizo risobanurwa ngo ‘gushyiramo ibikwiriye, gushyiramo ibyangomwa byuzuye, gushyiramo ibikenewe byose’ nko gupakira gari ya moshi cyangwa ubwato bugiye mu rugendo rurerure. Ryakoreshwaga mu gupakira ubwato⁶⁹ bugiye gutabara. Twashobora kugereranya ibi n’amato arinda inkombe z’Amerika n’abayatwara baba bafite ibibakwiriye byose ngo babashe kujya gutabara amato ari mu kaga.

(2) ‘Afite ibimukwiriye’ yerekana uburyo n’ibikoreshwa ngo umuntu abe akwiriye, ashoboye, cyangwa afite ubumenyi. Twashobora gusobanura uyu murongo nka ‘kugira ngo umuntu w’Imana abe ashoboye, mu kuba yarahawe ibimukwiriye.’

(3) Hanyuma, inshinga iri mu gihe cyashize, mu Kigiriki, yerekana ibyakozwe n’igikorwa cyabanje. Muri icyo gice, ibivugwa ni ibyo kwiga, kumenya, no gushyira mu bikorwa Ijambo ryahumetswe n’Imana mu gihe ikigerwaho ari ukubasha umurimo w’Imana kubwo gukura mu by’Umwuka.

Intego y’Imana mu kuduha Ijambo ryayo n’intego yacu mu kwiga no kumenya Ijambo ry’Imana, ni ukugira ngo tube dukwiriye ngo tubashe kuba abakozi b’Imana bashoboye umurimo mwiza wose mu isi y’umwijima kandi ikennye; nk’amato yo gutabara afite ibikwiriye byose ari ku murimo w’ubugwaneza.

Uko Ibyandistwe Byera byahumetswe

‘Ariko mubanze kumenya yukw’ari nta buhanuzi bwo mu Byanditswe bubasha gusobanurw’uk’umuntu wese yishakiye, kukw’ari nta buhanuzi bwazanywe n’ubushake bw’umuntu, ahubw’abantu b’Imana bavugag’ibyavaga ku Mana, bashorewe n’Umwuka Wera’ (2 Petero 1:20-21).

Nta gice cyo muri Bibiliya kitubwira byinshi ku kuntu Ibyanditswe Byeraa byahumetswe nk’iki gice cyo muri 2 Petero. Nubwo atari igice cyose cya 2 Petero 1 kitubwira uko Ibyanditswe byahumetswe, hari ibintu bine by’ingenzi bitwereka ko byaba ari byiza kumenya iki gice cya mbere n’ibivugwamo.

Icya mbere, hari ibivugwa n’intego y’iki gice. Kuba Imana yaraduhaye ibintu byose byerekeranye n’ubugingo n’iby’Imana binyuze mu masezerano ahebuje, ni ukuvuga, Ijambo ry’Imana, Petero yanditse ashishikariza abasomyi be kugira umurava mu kwera imbuto mu kumenya Umucunguzi (1:3-11). Mu yandi magambo, kwizera ntikugomba kuguma ku kigero kimwe, kugomba gukura. Byongeye, yashakaga kubibutsa ndetse na twe ko kwizera kwacu kudahagaze ku musenyi ku nkuru z’ubwenge bw’umuntu cyangwa ibitekerezo by’umuntu. Ahubwo, guhagaze mu guhishurwa gutangaje kw’Imana, mu Ijambo ry’ubugingo, Umwami Yesu Kristo, n’Ijambo ryanditswe, Ijambo ry’Imana ryahanuwe tugomba kwitondera.

2 Petero 1:12-21 ‘Ni cyo gituma nanjy’iminsi yose ntazagir’ubwo nirengagiza kubibuts’ibyo, nubwo musanzwe mubizi mugakomera mu kuri kuri mw’ubu. 13 Kandi rero ndibwira ko binkwiriye ko mbater’umwete mbibutsa, nkiri mur’iyi ngando; 14 kuko nzi yukw’igihe cyo kunyagw’ingando yanjye kigiye gusohora vuba, nk’uk’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo yammenyesheje. 15 Ariko nzajya ngir’umwete, kugira ngo ni mmara gupfa muzabashe guhora mwibuk’ibyo, iminsi yose. 16 Burya ntitwakurikij’imigani yahimbwe n’ubwenge, ubwo twabamenyeshag’imbaraga z’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo no kuzaza kwe; ahubwo twiboneye n’amaso yac’icyubahiro cye gikomeye. 17 Kuko yahawe n’Imana Data wa twes’ishimwe n’icyubahiro, ubw’ijwi ryavugiraga mu bwiza bukomeye cyane, rimubwira riti: Nguy’Umwana wanjye nkunda nkamwishimira. 18 Iryo jwi twaryumvise rivugira mu ijuru, ubwo twari kumwe na we kuri wa musozi wera. 19 Nyamara rero dufit’ijambo ryahanuwe, rirushaho gukomera, kandi muzaba mukoze neza ni muryitaho, kuko rimeze nk’itabaza rimurikir’ahacuz’ umwijima, rigakesh’ijoro, rikagez’ahw’inyenyeri yo mu ruturuturu izabandurira mu mitima yanyu. 20 Ariko mubanze kumenya yukw’ari nta buhanuzi bwo mu Byanditswe bubasha gusobanurw’uk’umuntu wese yishakiye, 21 kukw’ari nta buhanuzi bwazanywe n’ubushake bw’umuntu, ahubw’abantu b’Imana bavugag’ibyavaga ku Mana, bashorewe n’Umwuka Wera.’

Mu gutangaza iby’iyi ntumbero, Petero avuga ibyo we ubwe yiboneye igihe yiboneraga ubwiza bw’icyubahiro bwo guhindurwa kwa Kristo igihe yumvaga ijwi rivuye mu ijuru, ‘Nguyu Umwana wanjye nkunda nkamwishimira’ (imirongo 16-17). Ariko arakomeza akatwigisha ikintu gikomeye bitangaje, cyane cyane muri ibi bihe turimo igihe hari byinshi bikorwa byerekeye ibyo umuntu yibonera bishaka kurutishwa Ibyandistwe. Reba ukuntu mu murongo wa 19 Petero yanditse, ‘Nyamara rero dufite ijambo ryahanuwe, rirushaho gukomera, kandi muzaba mukoze neza, ni muryitaho,...’. Dukwiriye kubaza tuti, ‘Rirushaho gukomera kurusha iki? Birushaho gukomera kurusha n’ibyo yiboneye byo guhindurwa kwa Kristo. Kubera ko ibyo Petero, Yakobo na Yohana babonye byabaye umuhigo wo mu Ijambo ry’Imana kandi bikaba byerekana uguhishurwa gukomeye kwa Kristo. Ariko ikibazo ni iki, ibyo tubona, uko byaba ari byo kwizerwa kwose, ntibigomba kurutishwa Ijambo ry’Imana rifite ubutware kubera ko rirushijeho gukomera, gushikama no kwiringirwa. Ijambo ry’Imana ni ryo mugenga wacu kandi ryo ryonyine ni ryo rigomba gucira urubanza ibyo tunyuramo no kutwereka ukwizera no gushyira mu bikorwa.

Uko Bibiliya yitwa NIV isobanura umurongo wa 20 yagerageje kwegera Ibyanditswe by’ibanze mu Kigiriki, urushaho gusa n’imirongo iwubanziriza n’iwukurikira, kandi yerekana neza ukuri kugomba gushungurwa aha. Dore uko yanditswe, ‘Mbere ya byose mugomba kumenya yuko ari nta buhanuzi bwo mu Byanditswe bubasha gusobanurwa uko umuntu wese yishakiye’. Ibi bitwigisha ko ibyo abahanuzi banditse byose cyangwa ibyo dusanga mu Ijambo ry’Imana byose, bitavuye mu bitekerezo by’abanditsi cyangwa by’abantu ubwabo. Mu mirongo ya 16-19, ikigibwaho impaka ni inkomoko y’inkuru z’intumwa. Mbese byari imigani y’ibitarabayeho cyangwa byari bivuye ku Mana? Umurongo wa 20 usubiza igice cya mbere cy’iki kibazo. Ntibyavuye ku muntu. Igice cya kabiri cy’iki kibazo kiboneka mu murongo ukurikira. Reba akajambo ‘kuko’ kunga kandi kagasobanura ko mu murongo wa 21.

Umurongo wa 21 utwigisha ko Imana n’umuntu bagize uruhare mu kwandika Bibiliya, ariko mu buryo Imana itari isoko y’ibanze gusa, ahubwo yayoboye ubwanditsi kandi inatuma Ibyanditswe biba ukuri. Abanditsi b’abantu bavuze Ijambo ry’Imana bashishikaye kandi barutaga imashini zandika, ariko kugira ngo ibyo bandikaga bibe ukuri, abanditsi b’abantu bashorewe cyangwa bayobowe n’Umwuka Wera. ‘Bashorewe’ ni phenomenoi, Ikigiriki cyerekana igikorwa gikorerwa ruhamwa, risobanurwa ngo ‘kuyoborwa, gutwarwa’. Iri jambo ryakoreshwaga ku bwato bwayoborwaga n’umuyaga mu kugenda ku mazi nko mu Byakozwe 27:15, 17.

Kuri ibi, Ryrie yanditse agira ati :

‘Nubwo babaga ari abantu bamenyereye, abasare ntibashoboraga kubuyobora bityo rero barekaga umuyaga ukerekeza ubwato aho ushaka. Mu buryo nk’ubw’ubwato butwawe, cyangwa buyobowe n’umuyaga, Imana yatwaraga kandi igashorera abanditsi b’abantu yakoreshaga mu kwandika ibitabo byo muri Bibiliya. Nubwo umuyaga wari ufite imbaraga zikomeye zayoboraga ubwato, abasare ntibasinziraga cyangwa ngo babure icyo bakora. Mu buryo bumwe nk’ubwo, Umwuka Wera yari za ngufu ziyobora zigatwara abanditsi; uko biri kose bagize uruhare rugaragara mu kwandika Ibyanditswe’.⁷⁰

Uyu murongo rero utwigisha ibintu bibiri byerekeye ‘Uko’ guhumekwa byakozwe: (a) Ubushake bw’abanditsi b’abantu si bwo bwayoboraga Ibyanditswe muri Bibiliya na (b) Umwuka Wera nk’isoko y’ibanze yakoraga ku buryo Ibyanditswe biba ukuri mu buryo bwose.

Ikigero cyo guhumekwa n’Imana

‘Kukw’imbaraga z’ubumana bwayo zatugabiy’ibintu byose bizan’ubugingo no kubah’Imana, tubiheshejwe no kumenya nez’uwaduhamagarishij’ubwiza bwe n’ingeso ze nziza. Ibyo ni byo byatumy’aduh’ibyo yasezeranije by’igiciro cyinshi, bikomeye cyane, kugira ngo bibatere gufatanya na kamere y’Imana, mumaze guhunga no gukira kononekara kwazanywe mw’isi no kwifuza.’ (2 Petero 1:3-4).

Biragaragara mu murongo wa 4 kandi n’amagambo ‘ibyo yasezeranije by’igiciro bikomeye cyane’ ko Petero yari afite Ijambo ry’Imana mu mutwe muri iyi mirongo. Icya mbere, yatangaje ko Imana ‘yatugabiye ibintu byose bizana ubugingo no kubaha imbaraga z’Imana’. Icya kabiri, ubugingo no kubaha Imana bituruka mu kumenya Imana n’Umwami Yesu Kristo, ariko ubwo bumenyi buturuka mu Ijambo, ibyo yasezeranije by’igiciro. Ibi byerekeye ikigero cy’ibyo Ijambo ry’Imana rivuga, ibintu byose bizana ubugingo no kubaha Imana.’

Nubwo Imana idahishura ibintu byose yashobora guhishura, yahisemo ibintu byinshi bihishwe kubigira ibyayo (Gutegekwa 29:29). Bibiliya ntivuga ku bintu byose umuntu akeneye mu bugingo no kubaha Imana binyuze mu guhishurwa kw’Imana na Yesu Umwami wacu. Dufite ibyo dukeneye byose, nta kibuze. Bityo rero, kubera ari Ijambo ryahumetswe n’Imana, ibikurikira na byo ni ukuri.

Ni rizima kandi rifite imbaraga

Muri ibi biranga Bibiliya, tubona imbaraga z’Ijambo ry’Imana ritanga ubugingo n’imbaraga rigahindura ubugingo bw’abantu nk’uko rihishura ubwenge bw’Imana rikazana abantu mu busabane n’Imana binyuze mu kuri kwaryo.

1 Petero 1:23 ‘Kuko mwabyaw’ubwa kabiri, mutabyawe n’imbut’ibora, ahubwo mwabyawe n’imbuto itabora, mubiheshejwe n’Ijambo ry’Imana rizima rihoraho.’

Abaroma 12:2 ‘Kandi ntimwishushanye n’ab’iki gihe, ahubwo muhinduke rwose, mugiz’imitima mishya, kugira ngo mumenye nez’iby’Imana ishaka, ni byo byiza bishimwa kandi bitunganye rwose’.

Abaheburayo 4:12 ‘Kuko Ijambo ry’Imana ari rizima, rifit’imbaraga, kandi rikagir’ubugi burut’ubw’inkota zose, rigahinguranya ndetse kugez’ubwo rigabany’ubugingo n’umwuka, rikagabany’ingingo n’umusokoro, kandi rikabangukira kugenzur’iby’umutima wibwira, ukagambirira.’

Riratunganye, nta nenge

(1) Ntirigira inenge, riruzuye, riratunganye, ryarageragejwe, kandi bityo ni iry’ukuri, ni ukuri

Zaburi 19:7 ‘Amategeko y’Uwiteka atungana rwose, asubiz’intege mu bugingo, Iby’Uwiteka yahamije n’ibyo kwizerwa, bih’umuswa ubwenge.’

(2) Ntiryanduye, nta kizinga

Zaburi 12:6 ‘Amagambo y’Uwiteka n’amagambo atanduye: Ahwanye n’ifez’igeragejwe mu ruganda rwo mw’isi, Ivugutiwe karindwi.’

(3) Ryarageragejwe rigaragara nta kizinga

Zaburi 119:140 ‘Ijambo ryawe ryavugutiwe cyane; Ni cyo gitum’umugaragu wawe ndikunda.’

(4) Ibyanditswe Byerekana ukudahaba no kutivanga byaryo, nta kwanduzwa n’Imihango n’ibizira by’umuntu

Zaburi 19:8-9 ‘Amategek’Uwiteka yigishij’araboneye, anezez’umutima, Iby’Uwiteka yategetse ntibyanduye, bihwejesh’amaso. 9 Kubah’Uwiteka ni kwiza, guhorahw’iteka ryose, Amateka y’Uwiteka n’ay’ukuri, n’ayo gukiranuka rwose.’

Yohana 17:17 ‘Uberesh’ukuri: Ijambo ryawe ni ryo kuri.’

Yakobo 1:18 ‘Yatubyarishij’ijambo ry’ukuri, nk’uko yabigambiriye, kugira ngo tube nk’umuganura w’ibiremwa byayo.

Ni iry’ukuri kandi ryo kwizerwa

Ubuhamya bw’Ijambo ry’Imana ni ubw’ukuri, ni ukuvuga ubwo kwiringirwa, kwizerwa n’ububasha bwo guha ubwenge bw’Imana aboroheje, abamwegera nk’abana aho kwishingikiriza ubwenge bwabo bw’abantu.

Zaburi 19:7 ‘Amategeko y’Uwiteka atungana rwose, asubiz’intege mu bugingo, Iby’Uwiteka yahamije n’ibyo kwizerwa, bih’umuswa ubwenge.’

Rirakiranuka

Nko gukiranuka ko guhishurwa kw’Imana, Ibyanditswe bimurikira abantu bikabazana mu bumwe bw’ukuri n’Imana ubwo umuntu yaremewe. Nta cyatanga ibyishimo byo mu mutima nko kumenyera Imana mu Ijambo ryayo rikiranuka.

Zaburi 19:8-9 ‘Amategek’Uwiteka yigishij’araboneye, anezez’umutima, Iby’Uwiteka yategetse ntibyanduye, bihwejesh’amaso. 9 Kubah’Uwiteka ni kwiza, guhorahw’iteka ryose, Amateka y’Uwiteka n’ay’ukuri, n’ayo gukiranuka rwose.’

Ni Rikuru kandi ry’igiciro,

Rifite agaciro kurusha izahabu, riraryohereye kurusha ubuki

Muri aya magambo ashushanya tubonamo agaciro ka Bibiliya n’uko dukeneye kumenya ibidukwiriye kuba iby’ibanze n’ibyo twakurikira.

2 Petero 1:4 ‘Ibyo nibyo byatumy’aduh’ibyo yasezeranije by’igiciro cyinshi, bikomeye cyane, kugira ngo bibatere gufatanya na kamere y’Imana, mumaze guhunga no gukira kononekara kwazanywe mw’isi no kwifuza.’

Zaburi 19:10 Bikwiriye kwifuzwa kurut’izahabu, naho yab’izahabu nziza nyinshi: Biryoherera kurut’ubuki n’umushongi w’ibinyag’utonyanga.’

Ni umugenda w’Imana wo kwizera no gutabarwa

Ni mu Byandistwe Imana yubakira kwizera kwacu kandi ishobora kutuzana mu mbaraga z’ubugingo bwayo binyuze muri Kristo no mu murimo w’Umwuka Wera.

Abaroma 10:17 ‘Dore, kwizera guheshwa no kumva, no kumva kukazanwa n’Ijambo rya Kristo.’

2 Petero 1:4 ‘Ibyo nibyo byatumy’aduh’ibyo yasezeranije by’igiciro cyinshi, bikomeye cyane, kugira ngo bibatere gufatanya na kamere y’Imana, mumaze guhunga no gukira kononekara kwazanywe mw’isi no kwifuza.’

Zaburi 119:9-11 ‘Umusor’azez’inzira y’ate? Azayejesha kuyitondera nk’ukw’Ijambo ryawe rigitegeka. 10 Nagushakishij’umutima wose; Ntukunde ko nyoba ngo ndek’ibyo wategetse. 11 Nabikiy’Ijambo ryawe mu mutima wanjye, kugira ngo ntagucumuraho.’

Ntirirondoreka

Uko twacukumbura kose mu butunzi bw’ Ijambo ry’ Imana, tugarukira hejuru gusa. Ibi ni byo byonyine bitegerezwa kubera ari uguhishurwa kw’ Imana itarondoreka ku umuntu ufite aho atarenga. Ntabwo wigeze uvuga cyangwa se ngo wumve abandi bavuga, ‘Uziko, nize iki gice imyaka myinshi, ariko nari ntarasobanukirwa uku kuri kugeza uyu munsi wa none.’

Abefeso 3:2-8 ‘Kandi namwe mwumvis’ iby’ ubutware bwo kugabur’ ubuntu bw’ Imana nahawe ku bwanyu, 3 ko mpishurirw’ ubwiru bwayo mw’ iyerekwa, nk’ uko nabanje kwandika mu magambo make. 4 Namwe ni muyasoma muzireber’ ubwany’ uburyo mmeny’ ubwiru bwa Kristo koko. 5 Ubwo ntibwamenyeshejw’abana b’ abantu mu bindi bihe, nk’uko mur’ iki gih’ intumwa ze zera n’ abahanuzi babuhishuriwe n’ Umwuka: 6 yukw’abanyamahang’ ar’ abaraganwa natwe, kandi bakab’ ingingo z’ umubir’ umwe natwe, abaheshejwe n’ Ubutumwa Bwiza kuzagabana natwe muri Kristo Yesu ibyasezeranijwe. 7 Nanjye nahinduts’umubwiriza wabwo, nk’ ukw’ impan’ iri y’ ubuntu bw’Imana, iyo naheshejwe n’ imbaraga zayo zinkoreramo. 8 Nubwo noroheje cyane hanyuma y’ abera bose, naherew’ ubwo kugira ngo mbwiriz’ abanyamahanga Ubutumwa Bwiza bw’ ubutunzi bwa Kristo butarondoreka;’.

Ibikorwa by’ Ijambo ry’ Imana (Icyo rikora)

Ishusho ya mbere: inkota

Ijambo ry’ Ikigiriki rivuga inkota ni machaira, inkota ngufi, ifite ubugi impande zombi y’umusirikari w’Umuroma. Afite iyi ntwaro, umusirikari ntiyabaga abuze icyo yishingikirizaho, nta nubwo yashoboraga kuneshwa n’umwanzi kuko iyo ntwaro yari yoroshye gukoresha.

Imirongo:

Abefeso 6:17 ‘Mwakir’ agakiza, kab’ ingofero; mwakire n’inkota y’ Umwuka, niyo Jambo ry’ Imana;’

Abaheburayo 4:12 ‘ Kukw’ ijambo ry’ Imana ari rizima, rifit’imbaraga, kandi rikagir’ ubugi burut’ ubw’ inkota zose, rigahinguranya, ndetse kugez’ ubwo rigabany’ ubugingo n’ umwuka, rikagabany’ingingo n’umusokoro, kandi rikabangukira kugenzur’iby’umutima wibwira, ukagambirira.’

Amahame akubiyemo :

(1) Ko turi mu ntambara: Ibi ni byo byibandwaho mu Befeso 6. Ijambo ry’ Imana ni intwaro yacu duteresha kandi tukitabaza turwanya abanzi bacu - Isi n’ibirwanya Imana byayo, kamere n’ibyifuzo byayo bikomeye, Satani n’ubugome bwe. Muri iyi shusho, Imana itubwira ko tudafite Ijambo ryayo tudashobora kunesha n’umwe muri aba banzi bacu. Ibyanditswe ni inkota yacu, ifite ubugi impande zombi, iyo dushobora gukoresha neza nk’intwaro za kera tutaneshwa. Ni iby’ingirakamaro ko igihe Umwami yagerageza gushukwa n’Umwanzi, yatsindishije ibishuko by’umwanzi amagambo ‘Haranditswe ngo’ (Matayo 4 : 4, 7, 10).

(2) Iyi shusho yerekana na none gucengera: Yerekana ubushobozi bwo gutema no kwinjira imbere muri twe igahura n’ibyo dukeneye by’imbere, ibyo umutima wacu ukeneye by’Umwuka. Ibi ni byo Abaheburayo 4:12 wibandaho. Ijambo ry’ Imana rifite ubushobozi bwo guhangana n’ingorane zacu zo kwicira urubanza, no kugira ubwoba, impamvu z’amafuti, uburakari, agahinda, n’ugushaka ibyubahiro, agaciro n’intego.

Ingorane duhura na zo - Akamaro n’ubuhanga

Mu Befeso 6:17 Pawulo atubwira ko dukeneye gutwara intwaro zacu. Ibi bivuga kwiga kumenya inkota yacu n’uko twayikoresha mu byo dukora byacu bya buri munsi.

Mu Baheburayo 4:12 umwanditsi atubwira iby’ ingorane zo kwirengagiza. Kubera igihe aba bizera bari bamaze bakijijwe, bagombaga kuba baramaze kuba abigisha b’Ijambo ry’ Imana. Birengagije guteranira hamwe ubwabo ngo bumve Ijambo ry’Imana, bityo bituma batamenya gukoresha Ibyanditswe.

Abaheburayo 5:11-12 “Tumufiteho byinshi byo kuvugwa, kandi biruhije gusobanurwa, kuko mwabay’ ibihuri. 12 Kandi, nubwo mwari mukwiriye kub’ abigish’ubu, kuko mumaz’ igihe kirekire mwiga, dore musigaye mukwiriye kwongera kwigishwana mwe iby’ishingiro rya mbere ry’ibyavuzwe n’Imana: kandi mwahindutse abakwiriye kuramizwa amata, aho kugaburirwa ibyo kurya bikomeye.”

Ishusho ya kabiri: umucamanza

Umurongo:

Abaheburayo 4:12 ‘Kukw’ ijambo ry’ Imana ari rizima, rifit’imbaraga, kandi rikagir’ ubugi burut’ ubw’ inkota zose, rigahinguranya, ndetse kugez’ ubwo rigabany’ ubugingo n’ umwuka, rikagabany’ingingo n’umusokoro, kandi rikabangukira kugenzur’iby’umutima wibwira, ukagambirira.’.

Amahame akubiyemo :

Ibi bitwigisha ko Ijambo ry’ Imana ari ryo risuzuma ubugingo bwacu. Ni umucamanza w’ ibyiza n’ibibi. Ritubwira uko dukora, aho dukosa, impamvu, n’uko twahakosora. Kimwe n’uko urushanwa abwirwa uko agomba kurushanwa, ni ko n’Ijambo ry’Imana ari umucamanza w’uko twitwara n’ibyo dukora, uko turushanwa, ubugingo bwacu bw’imbere n’imico yacu igaragara.

Ingorane duhura na zo :

Tugomba kuba abantu bafite amatwi yo kwumva no kwubaha ubucamanza bw’Ijambo ry’Imana mu bugingo bwacu. Tugomba kuba abantu bubaha, ariko nkuko John R. Stott yabyanditse,

Gake cyane niba byaranigeze kubaho mu mateka yayo maremare isi ntiyigeze igira uku kugomera ubutegetsi ... Igisa naho ari gishya uyu munsi wa none, icyakora, ni umunzani wo kugoma kw’isi n’intekerezo zigushyigikira. Nta gushidikanya ko iki kinyejana cya 20 cyabayemo uguhinduka gukomeye ... Ubutegetsi bwinshi bwemewe (umuryango, ishuli, kaminuza, Igihugu, Itorero, Bibiliya, Papa, Imana) burasugurwa. Ikintu cyose kinezeza ibiriho, ni ukuvuga, uburenganzira buriho cyangwa imbaraga zikomeye, kirasuzumwa neza maze kikarwanywa.⁷¹

Kwibaza ibyo abantu bavuga, iyo dukoresheje Ijambo ry’Imana nk’umugereka wacu, si ko ari bibi iteka ndetse bibwirizwa na Luka mu Byakozwe 17:11. Ariko iyo tutitonze, dushobora gufatwa umunsi umwe ntitugire icyo twumva cyangwa ngo dusobanukirwe ibibwirizwa n’inyigisho z’Ijambo ry’Imana. Tubifata nk’aho byaba ari igitekerezo cy’umuntu kandi dushobora gutangazwa no kwuzura ibitekerezo byacu ubwacu. Stott arakomeza,

Buri muntu afite ibitekerezo bye n’ibyo yemera, kandi akabifata nk’aho ari byiza nk’iby’umubwiriza. Ese akeka ko ari nde, niko abantu babaza - bucece iyo badasakuje - ku buryo yakumva ko anshyiriraho amategeko?⁷²

Ariko ikibazo ni mbese Ubutumwa (bwo mu gitabo, kuri cassette, cyangwa bwo ku meza y’umubwiriza) burimo ukuri kwo mu Byanditswe? Bushingiye se ku Byanditswe kandi burimo ubusobanuro bukurikije ikiboneamvugo, igice, no guhuza n’Ibyanditswe, cyangwa se umubwiriza cyangwa umwigisha akoresha Ijambo ry’Imana mu buryo butari bwo Ese yumva atsindwa n’uko asoma mu Ijambo ry’Imana ibitekerezo bishyigikira ibyo we yifitiye muri gahunda ye?

Ishusho ya gatatu: itara, umucyo

Imirongo:

Zaburi 19:14 ‘Amagambo yo mu kanwa kanjye n’iby’umutima wanjye wibwira bishimwe mu maso yawe, Uwiteka, gitare cyanjye, mucunguzi wanjye.’

Zaburi 119:105 ‘Ijambo ryawe n’itabaza ry’ibirenge byanjye, n’ umucy’ umurikir’ inzira yanjye.’.

Zaburi 119:130 ‘Guhishurirw’ amagambo yawe kuzan’ umucyo; guh’abasw’ubwenge.’

Imigani 6:23 ‘Kukw’ itegeko ar’ itabaza, amategek’ar’umucyo; kand’ibihano byo guhugura ar’inzira y’ubugingo.’.

Amahame akubiyemo:

Akamaro k’itara ni ububasha bwaryo bwo gutanga umucyo. Mu Byanditswe, umucyo rikoreshwa kandi rifite ubusobanuro butatu:

(1) Gukoreshwa mu kumurika: Uku gukoreshwa kwibanda ku gikorwa cy’umucyo. Umucyo utanga urumuri Umucyo umurikira mu bugingo bwacu ngo wirukane umwijima, kumurikira inzira cyangwa ingendo zacu intambwe ku yindi. Umucyo utuma tudasitara no kugwa mu bintu bishobora kutwica. Umucyo umeze utyo urakingira.

(2) Gukoreshwa mu by’ubwenge: Gukoreshwa gushyigikira ukuri kukamenya amakosa n’ibishuka bikayobya. Ni mu mucyo w’Ijambo ry’Imana dushobora kumenyera no kwirinda iby’imihango n’inyigisho z’ibinyoma byo mu isi iyobowe kandi iyobejwe na Satani. Umunyamakuru yigeze kubaza umunyamaguru niba azi ingorane ebyeri zikomeye kurusha izindi mu isi izo ari zo. Yaramusubije ati, ‘simbizi, nta n’icyo bimbwiye’. Umunyamakuru yarambwiye ati, ‘ni byo koko, ese wabimenya ute?’.

Ibyo tutazi ku Ijambo ry’Imana ntibishobora kutugirira nabi gusa, ahubwo uko igihe gihita bizatugirira nabi. Kuki? Kuko mu mateka abantu bagiye bagushwa n’ibinyoma. Imihango igeraho ikemerwa nk’ukuri. Bivuge kenshi kandi aho bikwiriye abantu bazageraho batangire kubyizera - wabyemera utabyemera! Iyi mihango ituruka he? Ituruka mu kutwoza ubwonko dukura mu migenzo idukikije ya buri munsi kimwe no kwisobanura (amagambo meza y’ibinyoma dukunda kwibeshyaho ubwacu kugira ngo dukore ibyo twishakiye).

Reka mbabwire imihango mike :

• Umuhango w’ uko Imana ishimishwa n’iby’idini byacu - ko ibyo tugomba gukora ari ukuza ku rusengero rimwe mu cyumweru, kuririmba indirimbo z’Imana nkeya, kugaragara ko twishimye, no kwerekana ko twishimiye ibyo umubwiriza yigishije. Ariko nk’uwacengewe n’Ijambo ry’Imana abwira Abafarisayo, Umwami Yesu yasubiye mu magambo ya Yesaya aravuga ati, ‘Ubu bwoko bunshimisha iminwa yabo, Ariko imitima yabo indi kure; Bansengera ubusa, kuko inyigisho bigisha ari amategeko y’abantu’ (Mariko 7:6-7).
• Umuhango w’uko dushobora kwirengagiza Ijambo ry’Imana maze tukaba amahoro. Ariko Ijambo ry’Imana riravuga riti, ‘Uyu munsi nimwumva ijyi ryayo, ntimwinangire imitima, nkuko mwayinangiye mu gihe cyo kurakaza’ (Abaheburayo 3:7-8a). Umwanditsi atwereka ko nitutumvira Umwuka w’Imana buri munsi, tuzayoborwa kandi twinangire bu bw’icyaha.
• Umuhango ko gushukwa kugaragara, gushukwa n’ikibi k’umwanya kandi kw’ imbaraga zacu ziba mu byo dukora muri uwo mwanya - iyo ukuri ari uko kunesha gushingiye ku gukura mu kwizera, imyifatire, imirere, n’uko tugenda byagiye bikura uko ibyumweru, amezi, n’imyaka byashiraga.
• Umuhango w’uko kuri kubera ko twumva inkuba ariko ntiduhite tubona umujinya w’Imana, bituma dukomeza kugendera mu cyaha tukirengagiza iby’ ibanze by’Umwuka.

Reba igitekerezo gikurikira:

Kubera ko bashakaga gutura iburasirazuba bwa Yorodani aho bashobora kuragira amashyo yabo, Mose yaburiye ubwoko bwa Rubeni na Gadi ku byerekeye kunanirwa gufasha indi miryango y’iryo shyanga kwirukana abari bahatuye,

Kubara 32:23 ‘Ariko ni mutagenza mutyo, muzaba mucumuye k’Uwiteka, kandi mumenye neza yukw’icyaha cyanyu kizabatoteza.’

Mu Bagalatiya Pawulo yaranditse ati,

‘Ntimuyobe: Imana ntinegurizw’izuru; kukw’iby’umuntu abiba, ari by’azasarura. 8 Ubibir’umubiri we, mur’uwo mubiri azasaruramo kubora, arik’ububir’Umwuka, mur’uwo Mwuka azasaruramw’ubugingo buhoraho.’ (Abagalatiya 6:7-8).

Mu Umubwiriza 8:11-12 dusoma aya magambo,

‘Kuko iteka ry’umurimo mubi rituzura vuba, ni cyo gitum’imitima y’abantu ishishikarira gukor’ibibi. 12 Nubw’umunyabyah’acumura kar’ijana, arikw’akaramba, nzi rwose yukw’abubah’Imana bar’imbere yayo ari bo bazamererwa neza:’

(3) Gukoreshwa mu by’umuco: Muri uku gukoreshwa tubona ko imbuto z’umucyo ari ugukiranuka. Muri Yesaya Imana itwibutsa ko inzira zacu atari inzira zayo - kandi ni ukubera ko ibitekerezo byacu atari byo bitekerezo byayo. Gukiranuka n’imico myiza ntibishobora kubaho mu cyuka aho Imana itazwi mu kuri kubera ko yo ubwayo ari ukuri, ni umucyo w’Ibyanditswe bitubatura.

Ingorane duhura na zo:

Nta tara rigira umumaro ridacanywe kandi ngo ryerekezwe mu nzira y’umuntu cyangwa ku byo mu bugingo bw’umuntu (reba Matayo 5:14 n’ikurikira). Kubera abandi umucyo bitangirira ku kubaho mu mucyo w’Imana (Ijambo ryayo) ubwacu. Tugomba kumenya gukoresha itara ryacu. Ntiriba itara ryacu by’ukuri tutararyiga ngo tunemere kurikoresha. Isi yuzuye umwijima, ariko itara ry’Ijambo ry’Imana - Ukuri kw’Imana - ryirukana umwijima w’isi. Birigisha kumenya imbuzi n’amategeko ya Pawulo byo mu Befeso 5 aho atubwira ko bitworohera kugendera mu mwijima nubwo turi abana b’umucyo. Bisaba ibikorwa no kwitangira Ijambo ry’Imana mbere y’uko ubugingo bwacu buza mu mucyo w’Ibyanditswe.

Yeremiya 10:23 ‘Uwiteka, nzi kw’inzira y’umuntu itaba muri we; ntibiri mu munt’ugenda kwitunganiriz’intambwe ze.’

Mu Bafilipi 1:10 ijambo abataryarya ni Ikigiriki eilikrines. Mu gihe inkomoko z’iri jambo ishidikanywaho, bamwe bavuga ko igizwe na heile, imirasire y’izuba, na krino, guca imanza. Bisobanura ngo guca imanza cyangwa kurebera ku mucyo kandi yerekana igishobora guhagarara kidatsinzwe mu mucyo w’izuba. Ryerekeye umuntu ufite ubugingo by’inyangamugayo kandi butaryarya. Mu bihe byashize iri jambo ryakoreshwaga ku baguzi ku byerekeye ibyacururizwaga mu isoko. Amaduka ya kera yabaga yijimye ku buryo byashobokaga guhisha ububi bw’ibyacuruzwaga cyangwa bigasigwa irangi cyangwa ubushishi. Kubera aka kamenyero abaguzi bashoboraga gusohora icyo bashakaga kugura bakabijyana ku mucyo w’izuba ngo barebe ko igicuruzwa nta nenge gifite, ngo barebe ko ari eilikrines. Nshuti, iki ni cyo twese dukeneye. Dukeneye buri munsi, buri cyumweru kwisuzumira ku mirasire y’izuba ry’Ijambo Ryera ry’Imana.

Abafilipi 1:10 ‘Mubon’uko murobanur’ibinyuranye, kandi mubon’uko mub’abataryarya n’inyanga-mugayo, kugeza ku munsi wa Kristo,’

Ishusho ya kane: indorerwamo

Imirongo :

2 Abakorinto 3:18 ‘Ariko twebwe twese, ubwo tureb’ubwiza bw’Umwami, tubureba nko mu ndorerwamo, mu maso hacu hadatwikiriye, duhindurirwa gusa na we, tugahabwa ubwiza burut’ubundi kuba bwiza, nk’ubw’Umwami w’ Umwuka’.

Yakobo 1:22-25 ‘ Ariko rero mujye mukor’iby’iryo Jambo atar’ugupfa kuryumva gusa, mwishuka; 23 kuk’uwumv’Ijambo gusa, ntakore ibyaryo, ameze nk’umuntu urebeye mu maso he mu ndorerwamo. 24 Amaze kwireba, akagenda, uwo mwanya akiyibagirwa ukwasa. 25 Ariko uwitegereza mu mategeko atunganye rwose atera umudendezo, agakomeza kugira umwete wayo, atari uwumva gusa akibagirwa, ahubwo ariyumvira, ni we uzahabwa umugisha mu byo akora’.

Amahame akubiyemo

Indorerwamo ni ikintu cyerekana uko umuntu asa. Itwereka ishusho yacu. Iby’ amahirwe, uretse iyo ikozwe nabi, cyangwa ukundi, indorerwamo ntibeshya. Bibiliya ni indorerwamo itunganye - yerekana ukuri - ukuri kw’ uko turi. Ifoto y’amabara ishobora gukorwa ku buryo ihisha ubusembwa, isununu, iminkanyari, inkovu, ariko indorerwamo itwereka uko turi neza. Ariko iby’amahirwe, Bibiliya, nk’indorerwamo, ifite intego ebyeri cyangwa ibyo itwereka bibiri.

Iyo umuhungu muto ahagararanye na se imbere y’indorerwamo, aribona ubwe akabona na se aba ashaka gusa nawe igihe azakura. Imwereka icyitegerezo cy’uko aba ashaka buzaba. Ijambo ry’ Imana rimeze rityo. Ntiritwereka gusa abo turibo n’icyo turi cyo, ahubwo ritwereka n’Umwami Yesu - icyitegererezo n’intego byacu. Ariko biba gusa iyo twize kumutumbirira mu ndorerwamo y’Ijambo rye kandi tukagendera mu Mwuka.

Ingorane duhura nazo :

Kimwe n’andi mashusho y’Ijambo ry’Imana, indorerwamo igomba gukoreshwa neza bitari ibyo ntacyo yatwungura. Mu kudakoresha cyangwa gukoresha nabi indorerwamo, nta cyo twunguka ku by’iyo mpano itangaje y’Imana yo kuduhindura no kudukiza. Binyibukije ukuntu umugore wanjye mwiza ahagarara buri gitondo imbere y’indorewamo. Mu by’ukuri, mutekereze uko abantu benshi basa baramutse batitaye ku byo babonye mu ndorerwamo buri gitondo mbere y’uko biyuhagira, boza amenyo, gutunganya imisatsi.

Icyibandwaho muri Yakobo 1:19-25 ni uko tutagomba kwiha kuba abizera bo hejuru bireba nko mu bikino mu ndorerwamo y’Ijambo ry’Imana. Biratworohera cyane kubikora mu buryo bw’imirimo itegetswe n’idini nko kujya mu rusengero no mu ishuri ryo ku cyumweru cyangwa kumara iminota icumi mu gitabo cy’amasengesho. Muri iki gice, Yakobo avuga ku byo kugira kwizera gufite ibikorwa ku buryo ikigerwaho ari ugukizwa mu by’Umwuka no kwerekana mu bikorwa gukiranuka mu bugingo buhinduwe.

Reba Yakobo 2:21 aho Yakobo abaza ikibazo ati ‘Mbese sogokuruza Aburahamu ntiyatsindishirijwe n’imirimo, ubwo yatangaga Isaka umwana we ngo atambwe ku gicaniro? ’Yakobo ntabwo avuguruza Pawulo. Igihe Pawulo avuga ibyo gutsindishirizwa kubwo kwizera avuga ibyo gutsindishirizwa imbere y’Imana, Yakobo we yandika ibyo gutsindishirizwa imbere y’abantu, gihamya y’ibikorwa no kwerekana ubusabane nyakuri n’Imana aho kuba iby’idini gusa.

Ijambo ry’Ikigiriki ‘Yatsindishirijwe’ ni dikaivo. Iri jambo rifite ubusobanuro bubiri bw’ingenzi. (a) Rishobora gusobanura “gutangaza, kugira umuntu ukiranuka cyangwa gufata umuntu nk’umukiranutsi.” Muri ubu buryo risobanura gutangaza ko umuntu nta kimuhama, guhanagurwaho icyaha. Pawulo akoresha dikaioo cyangwa igitekerezo cyo gutsindishiriza muri ubu buryo. Kubera umurimo wa Kristo no kubwo kwizera umuntu ku giti cye, ibyaha byacu birababarirwa, igihano cy’icyaha gikurwaho, maze tukitwa abakiranutsi muri Kristo. (b) Ariko dikaioo ishobora na none gusobanura kwerekana cyangwa gutanga cyangwa guhamya ko umuntu ari umukiranutsi.⁷³ Ubu ni uburyo Yakobo akoreshamo iryo jambo. Hamwe n’ibiri mu mutima, soma Yakobo 1:19-21.

Ruhamwa aha ni ugushira mu muntu imico y’Imana, gukiranuka cyangwa ubugingo buhinduwe bikorwa binyuze mu kwizera ubugingo bwacu buhinduwe muri Kristo. Nk’abantu bahinduwe bashya bafite kwizera Kristo, ubugingo bwacu bugomba guhinduka.

Yakobo 2:1 ‘Bene data, kwizera kwanyu mwizer’Umwami wanyu Yesu Kristo w’icyubahiro ntikube uko kurobanur’abantu ku butoni.

Yakobo 1:18 ‘ Yatubyarishij’ijambo ry’ukuri, nk’uko yabigambiriye, kugira ngo tube nk’umuganura w’ibiremwa byayo’.

Ariko niba kwizera Kristo muzima kwacu ari ukwakira ubugingo bwe mu bwacu mu buryo bw’ubugingo buhindutse bwerekanwa gutsindishirizwa kwacu, ubugingo bushya bugomba kuzanwa mu bumwe nyakuri n’Ijambo ry’ubugingo, ryo nk’imbuto iterwa, riramera, rikazana imizi, rigakura, rikabyara (indi shusho), bigatanga gukizwa mu buryo bw’Umwuka. Iyi ni yo njyana y’umurongo wa 21.

Muri Yakobo 1:22-25, Yakobo atubwira ko tudakoresheje Ijambo ry’Imana twitonze kugira ngo tugere ku gakiza kacu no guhinduka mu by’Umwuka, tuba twibeshya ubwacu kandi tunyuranya n’intego n’umugambi by’Imana.

‘Mwiyerekane’ muri Bibiliya yitwa NASB, ni inshinga y’Ikigiriki itondaguwe mu buryo bw’itegeko, ginomai. Isobanura ‘muhinduke’ kandi yerekeye ibyo kwiga gushyira mu bikorwa Ijambo ry’Imana buri gihe. Bibiliya yitwa KJB yanditswe itya ‘Ariko rero, mujye mukora iby’iryo jambo, atari ugupfa kuryumva gusa, ...’ ‘Mukora’ ni poietes kandi yerekeye ku bikorwa bitanga umusaruro bikurikije igishushanyo cyatanzwe.

‘Atari ugupfa kuryumva gusa’ bisobanura ngo ‘atari abumva bonyine’. ‘Bonyine’ cyangwa ‘gusa’ ni Ikigiriki monos risobanura ngo ‘kuba wenyine’. Kwiga Bibiliya n’imirimo y’idini bigomba gushyirwa hamwe no kurishyira mu bikorwa no gukiranurwa hamwe n’umurimo w’Imana biti ihi se byaba kwishuka.

‘Mwishuka’. ‘Kwishuka’ ni paralogizomai riva kuri para, ‘hamwe no’ cyangwa ‘kubwo, byahise’, hongeyeho na logizomai, ‘gutekereza, kubara’. Yakobo aburira abantu kudatekereza mu buryo bunyuranye n’ukuri n’intego yako noneho bakishuka.

Mbese twishuka dute? Twishuka ubwacu iyo dutekereza ikintu kitari ukuri (reba umurongo wa 26). Muri ubu buryo tunyuranya n’ukuri tugahusha intego yako. Ibyanditswe bigenewe kuduhindura ngo duse na Kristo. Niba ibi bitaba, turushaho kwishuka dukomezwa kubeshywa no kuba ibikinisho by’amayere ya Satani n’ibihendo by’isi kubera ko twanga kwumvira Ijambo ry’Imana (reba umurongo wa 27). Niba tudacengera Ijambo ry’ Imana ngo ritubere indorerwamo, tuzacengerwa n’iby’isi mu buryo tudasobanukiwe. None intego y’Imana ni iyihe?

• Gusoma no kumva Ijambo ry’ Imana bishobora kujyana ku …
• Gutekereza ku Ijambo ry’Imana, kwitegereza neza bishobora gutuma tubona ishusho yacu ubwacu n’iy’Imana (guhishurwa kw’Imana).
• Igisubizo (igisubizo gikwiriye Imana) gishobora kujyana ku…
• Guhinduka (guhinduka no gutanga imbuto bituruka ku gushyira mu bikorwa Ijambo ry’ Imana).

Ariko

• Ukugoma guterwa no kudasobanukirwa, kwishuka, kwibwira ibitari byo, kutagira icyo witaho, kugambana n’ibindi.

Cyangwa tukaba imbere y’amahitamo:

Idini rya gatigisimu, idini ryigisha ibyo gufata mu mutwe gusa (Yesaya 29:13). Ibi ni ugupfa gufata mu mutwe amategeko n’amabwiriza cyangwa inyigisho n’amahame by’idini. Igira inyigisho imwe ihoraho cyangwa gusubiramo ibintu utanabitekerejeho cyangwa se ngo ubishyire mu bikorwa. Ibi bijyana kuri:

Akamenyero k’idini, kwinjira mu bintu ariko ari nta by’Umwuka nyakuri. Kugendera mu migenzo y’idini no gufata mu mutwe ibyo uvuga n’intekerezo, ariko nta by’ Umwuka cyangwa kubishyikira wowe ubwawe - kutumva no kudakora. Ibi bijyana kuri:

Kutera imbuto. Abakristo batera imbuto kandi bashobora guhanwa n’Imana. Guterwa no gupfa ku by’Umwuka by’umwizera w’umunyedini, nk’Abafarisayo bo mu bihe cya Kristo - Imva zogeje zera.

Babaga bera inyuma, ariko imbere baraboze ndetse barapfuye. Iri jambo rikoreshwa no ku bakristo ba kamere baba barakijijwe, ariko ntibabe batewe ku muzabibu (Yohana 15) bityo ntibabashe bwera imbuto.

Ishusho ya gatanu: imvura, shelegi, amazi

Imirongo:

Yesaya 55:10-11 ‘Nkuk’imvura na shelegi bimanuka bivuye mw’ijuru ntibisubireyo, ahubwo bigatosa ubutaka bukameza imbuto, bugatosa n’ingundu, bugaha umubibyi imbuto, n’ushaka kurya bukamuh’umutsima; 11 ni kw’Ijambo ryanjye riva mu kanwa kanjye rizamera; ntirizagaruk’ubusa, ahubwo rizasohoz’ibyo nshaka, rizashobora gukor’icyo naritumye.’

Yeremiya 17:5-8 ‘Uku ni k’Uwiteka avuga, ati: Havumw’umuntu wiringira undi muntu, akishim’amaboko ye, mu mutima we akimur’Uwiteka. 6 Azab’ameze nk’inkokore yo mu butayu, kand’icyiza ni kiza, ntazakibona, ahubw’azatura ku gasi ko mu butayu, mu gihugu cy’ubukuna kidatuwemo. 7 Hahirw’umuntu wizer’Uwiteka, Uwiteka akamuber’ibyiringiro. 8 Kukw’azahwana n’igiti cyatewe hafi y’amazi, gishorer’imizi mu mugezi, ntikizatiny’amapfa n’acana, ahubw’ikibabi cyacyo kizahoran’itoto; ntikizita ku mwaka wacanyemw’amapfa, kandi ntikizareka kwer’imbuto zacyo.’

Abefeso 5:26 ‘Ngw’aryeze, amaze kuryogesh’amazi n’Ijambo rye,’

Amahame akubiyemo

(1) Ishusho yo kwoza: Ijambo ‘aryanganyaho amahage’ muri Yohana 15:2 ni Ikigiriki, kathairo, risobanura ngo, ‘kwoza’. Rikoreshwa mu gukuraho amashami atagira umumaro (ibisambo ku kawa). Soma Matayo 15:1-20 na 12:33-35. Usobanukiwe icyo bishushanya? Abafarisayo bitaga ku by’inyuma bategekwa n’idini, ariko imbere babaga banduye kubera ko basuzuguraga amazi y’Ijambo ry’Imana yashoboraga kuboza imitima yabo akabuzuza ibyiza.

Zaburi 119:9 ‘Umusor’azez’inzira y’ate? Azayejesha kuyitondera nkukw’ijambo ryawe ritegeka.’

Yohana 15:2-3 ‘Ishami ryose ryo muri jye riter’imbuto, arikuraho; iryer’imbuto ryose aryanganyahw’amahage yaryo, ngo rirusheho kwer’imbuto. 3 None mumaze kwezwa n’ijambo nababwiye.’

Ibyanditswe bitwikurura ibibi biba muri twe bikadushishikariza guhinduka. Ariko biduha n’imbaraga zidufasha guhinduka tubonera mu kuri kuduhishurirwa muri Kristo, bityo, kweza ubugingo bwacu ho icyaha n’ibyanduza by’iyi si.

(2) Ishusho yo guhindurwa bashya: Nk’ikinyobwa gikonje cy’amazi ku munsi ushyushye, Ijambo ry’Imana rihindura mushya umuntu w’imbere.

2 Abakorinto 4:16-18 ‘Ni cyo gituma tudacogora; kandi nubw’umuntu wacu w’inyum’asaza, umuntu wacu w’imbere ahor’ahinduka mushya uko bukeye; 17 kuko kubabazwa kwacu kw’igihwayihwayi kw’akanya ka none kwiyongeranya kuturemer’ubwiza bw’iteka ryose bukomeye. 18 Natwe ntitureba ku biboneka, ahubwo tureba ku bitaboneka: kukw’ibibonek’ar’iby’igihe gito, nahw’ibitaboneka bikab’iby’iteka ryose.’

(3) Ishusho yo kwera Imbuto: Tutari mu Ijambo ry’Imana, dusa n’umuntu uzerera mu kitagira amazi, mu butayu, wazanywemo ingufu n’imbaraga z’Umwuka, wumishijwe n’ubushyuhe bw’ubugingo nk’uko ahura n’ibiruhanya byabwo no kuba atishingikiriza ku Mana. Tudafite Ijambo ry’Imana ngo rituyobore, riduhindure bashya, kandi ritubwirize, nta kabuza tuzamarira imbaraga zacu mu bitagira umumaro byo mu isi.

Dushobora kwunguka byinshi mu by’isi n’ubutunzi bwayo, cyangwa se kumara ubugingo bwacu dukurikirana iby’isi, ariko, inzira twafata iyo ari yo yose, iyo Ijambo ry’Imana atari isoko y’ubugingo bwacu, twonona ubugingo bwacu mu by’imigambi y’Imana. Ariko niba Ijambo ry’Imana ari isoko y’amazi y’ubugingo bwacu, tuzaba nk’umuntu wizera Uwiteka tubona muri Yeremiya 17:5-8 na Zaburi 1:2-3.

Yeremiya 17:5-8 ‘Uku ni k’Uwiteka avuga, ati: Havumw’umuntu wiringira undi muntu, akishim’amaboko ye, mu mutima we akimur’Uwiteka. 6 Azab’ameze nk’inkokore yo mu butayu, kand’icyiza ni kiza, ntazakibona, ahubw’azatura ku gasi ko mu butayu, mu gihugu cy’ubukuna kidatuwemo. 7 Hahirw’umuntu wizer’Uwiteka, Uwiteka akamuber’ibyiringiro. 8 Kukw’azahwana n’igiti cyatewe hafi y’amazi, gishorer’imizi mu mugezi, ntikizatiny’amapfa n’acana, ahubw’ikibabi cyacyo kizahoran’itoto; ntikizita ku mwaka wacanyem’amapfa, kandi ntikizareka kwer’imbuto zacyo.’

Zaburi 1:2-3 ‘Ahubw’amatageko y’Uwiteka ni yo yishimira kand’amategeko ye ni yo yibwira ku manywa na nijoro, 3 Uw’azahwana n’igiti cyatewe hafi y’umugezi, cyer’imbuto zacy’igihe cyayo, ibibabi byacyo ntibyuma. Icy’azakora cyose kizamubera cyiza.’

Ingorane duhura na zo:

Dukunda kuba nk’umuntu uri mu butayu akabona ukurabagirana agakeka ko icyaha ari ikintu cyo kumumara inyota. Mu buryo nk’ubwo, akenshi abantu bakurikirana ibyo bakeka ko byabaha ibyishimo no kumererwa neza, n’ibinezeza n’ubutunzi byo muri iyi si. Ariko ni ukurabagirana gusa. Ni ibihendo bishyirwaho na Satani abantu bizera kubera ko bidashinze imizi neza mu isoko y’Ijambo ry’Imana. Abo bashatse kwiyoborera ubugingo bizera imbaraga zabo ubwabo kandi byatumye biha akato ubwabo, nk’uko byari biri, bicira mu mburabuturo y’ibisubizo by’umuntu n’ibihendo bye. Ntibize kumenya gutandukanya ibyishimo nyakuri n’ibya nyirarureshywa.

Umuntu ashobora gusambana agashimisha igitsina, ariko nta na busa ngo agire umunezero nyakuri. Kandi nk’uko biri mu by’ubusambanyi, ni ko ari ukuri muri buri buryo bwo gusambana mu by’Umwuka aho abantu basambana n’iby’isi bakima Imana amatwi n’imitima byabo. Mbese uri igiti cyatewe hafi y’amazi y’ubugingo? Cyangwa se uri nk’ibyatsi bibi bidakomeye kuburyo uhuhwa n’imiyaga y’ibinaniza n’ibishuko?

Ishusho ya gatandatu: ibyo kurya, umutsima

Imirongo :

Yobu 23:12 ‘Ntabwo nasubiy’inyuma ngo mve mu mategeko yategetse; Ndets’amagambo yo mu kanwa kayo yamberey’ubutunzi bundutir’ibyo kurya binkwiriye.’

Yeremiya 15:16 ‘Amagambo yawe amaze kuboneka, ndayarya maz’amber’umunezero n’ibyishimo byo mu mutima wanjye: kuko nitiriw’izina ryawe, Uwiteka, Mana nyir’ingabo.’

Ezekiyeli 2:8 ‘Ariko weho, mwana w’umuntu umv’icyo nkubwira; we kub’umugome nk’iyo nzu y’abagome; bumbur’akanwa kawe, maz’icyo nguha, ukirye.’

Ezekiyeli 3:1-3 ‘Maz’arambwir’ati: Mwana w’umuntu, icy’ubonye ukirye, ury’uwo muzingo, maz’ugende, ubwir’inzu y’Isirayeli. 2 Nuko mbumbur’akanwa, angaburir’uwo muzingo. 3 Arambwir’ati: Mwana w’umuntu, haz’inda yawe, n’amara yawe uyuzuzemw’uyu muzingo nguhaye. Nuko mperako ndawurya; mu kanwa undyohera nk’ubuki.’

Amahame akubiyemo :

(1) Gushyigikirwa, imbaraga, kwihangana: Nk’uko umuntu akenera ibiryo by’umubiri ngo bitunge ubuzima n’ubugingo bye kandi bimuhe imbaraga, ni ko n’Imana yaturemeye kugira ngo ubugingo bwacu bw’Umwuka bugaburirwe ibyo kurya by’Umwuka byo mu Ijambo ry’Imana. Iyi mirongo ibiri ikurikira irabihamya.

Yobu 23:12 “Ntabwo nasubiy’inyuma ngo mve mu mategeko yategetse; Ndets’amagambo yo mu kanwa kayo yamberey’ubutunzi bundutir’ibyo kurya binkwiriye.” Mu gusubiza ibirego bya Elifazi, Yobu yavuze ko yakurikiye inzira z’Imana yiringirwa. Ate? Kubera ubumwe bwe n’Ijambo ry’Imana. Kuri We rimbera nk’ibyo kurya bikwiriye ubugingo.

Yeremiya 15:16 “Amagambo yawe amaze kuboneka, ndayarya maz’amber’umunezero n’ibyishimo byo mu mutima wanjye: kuko nitiriw’izina ryawe, Uwiteka, Mana nyir’ingabo.” Yeremiya yahawe imbaraga mu gihe yarimo atotezwa n’ishyanga kubera ko, mu gihe ishyanga ryari ryarimuye Ijambo ry’Imana, Yeremiya we yaryakiriye nk’ibyo kurya kandi araryishimira nk’ibitunga umutima we.

Iyi mirongo yombi yerekana ko ari ngombwa ko ubugingo bugaburirwa ibyo kurya byo mu Ijambo ry’Imana kugira ngo bubashe gutanguranwa intego iri imbere yacu - umugambi n’intego by’Imana kuri buri wese muri twe mu binaniza byo muri ubu bugingo.

Muri iyi shusho y’Ijambo ry’Imana nk’ibyo kurya bidukwiriye, iyi mirongo yerekana akamaro k’Ijambo ry’Imana mu kudushishikaza, kudutera inkunga n’imbaraga, no kuduha ubushobozi bw’umurimo w’Imana. Gutungwa n’Ijambo, kubera ko rituma dutegera ugutwi ijwi ry’Imana, riduha umutwaro, ubushake, n’inkunga ikenewe ku murimo w’Imana ntitwite ku bwoba bwacu cyangwa ingorane duhura na zo. Ibyanditswe bitwegereza umutima w’Imana.

Reba umugereka wa mbere ku byerekeye Ezekiyeli 2:8; 3:1-3, 14.

Iyo tudatungwa n’Ijambo ry’Imana ngo turyemerere kwuzura imitima yacu n’ubwenge bwacu, dushobora, (a) kudakora umurimo w’Imana cyangwa se, (b) tuzawukora tubitewe n’impamvu zitari zo kandi akenshi iyo nta gitekerezo cy’umugambi w’Imana nta n’ibyishimo mu Mwami bibaho.

Kimwe mu bintu bitubuza gusubiza Imana, Ijambo ryayo, n’umurimo Imana ishaka ko buri wese akora nk’uko ikorera kandi ikayobora ubugingo bwacu, ni ukutugira abaja b’ ‘ubugingo bwiza’. Umugani w’umubibyi, ubutaka n’imbuto urabyerekana muri Mariko 4:18-19.

Mariko 4:14-20 ‘Umubibyi ni ubib’Ijambo ry’Imana. 15 Izo mu nzira, ahw’iryo Jambo ribibwa, abo ni bo bamara kumva, uwo mwanya Satani akaza, agakuramw’iryo Jambo ryabibwe muri bo. 16 N’izibibwe ku kara na bo nuko, iyo bumvis’iryo Jambo, uwo mwanya baryemera banezerewe, 17 ariko kuko batagir’imizi muri bo, bakomer’umwanya muto; iyo habayehw’amakuba cyangwa kurenganywa bazir’iryo Jambo, uwo mwanya birabagusha. 18 Abandi bagereranywa n’izibibwe mu mahwa; abo nibo bumvir’iryo Jambo. 19 Maz’amaganya y’iyi si, n’ibihendo by’ubutunzi, n’irari ryo kwifuz’ibindi, iyo bibinjiye mu mitima, binig’iryo Jambo, ntiryere. 20 Kand’abagereranywa na za zindi zabibwe mu butaka bwiza, abo nibo bumv’iryo Jambo bakaryemera; nibo ber’imbuto, umwe mirongw’itatu, undi mirongw’itandatu, und’ijana, bityo bityo.

(2) Kuba ibice by’ubugingo bitihagije: Iyi shusho y’Ijambo ry’Imana nk’umutsima udukwiriye yagenwe n’Imana mu kwerekana no kwigisha kudahaza no kutagira umumaro kw’ibyiswe ibice by’umubiri, cyangwa ndetse n’ibyo ubugingo bukeneye bisanzwe by’umubiri. Itwigisha ko umuntu adashobora (ndetse ntiyanabiteganirijwe) gutungwa n’umutsima gusa. Umutsima werekana ibya ngombwa ubu bugingo bukenera ibyo umuntu agerageza ngo abone umunezero, kumererwa neza, n’imbaraga.

Gutegeka 8:3 ‘Nuko yagucishije bugufi, ikundira ko wicwa n’inzara, ikugaburira manu war’utazi, na basekuruza banyu batigeze kumenya; kugira ngw’ikumenyeshe yuk’umuntu adatungwa n’umutsima gusa, ahubwo yukw’amagambo yos’ava mu kanwa k’Uwiteka ari yo amutunga.’

‘Yagucishije bugufi, ikundira ko wicwa n’inzara’. Imana yayoboye Abisrayeli mu butayu aho batari bafite ikindi atari ukwiringira cyangwa bakayivovotera. Mu butayu ntibashoboraga guhinga ibyo kubatunga: bagombaga kwishingikiriza ku Uwiteka gusa. Ibi byari ugucishwa bugufi no kwigishwa. Ariko Imana yari ifite umugambi wihariye - ‘kugira ngo ikumenyeshe (na twe kandi) yuko umuntu adatungwa n’umutsima gusa, ...’ Ibi byashakaga kuvuga ko ibyo kurya byabo, imyenda yabo, ikintu cyose (umurongo wa 4) cyaturukaga ku mategeko n’amateka y’Imana n’imigisha yayo isumba byose.

Imana iravuga gusa ibyo dukeneye. Umuntu ntatungwa n’umutsima gusa, ahubwo n’Imana ituma uwo mutsima uboneka. Ariko si ibyo gusa.

Ibi birimo na none umugambi w’Imana ku Bisrayeli nk’ishyanga. Ijambo ry’Imana rituruka mu kanwa k’Imana ntirica amateka gusa nko gutanga iby’umubiri ukeneye mu bugingo, ahubwo birimo n’umugambi wayo ku Bisrayeli ngo babere ishyanga ry’abatambyi andi mahanga yo mu isi. Ibuka, kubera ibinyoma n’ibihendo bya Satani guhera mu busitani bwa Edeni, amahanga yari yarimuye Imana. Yashakaga kubaho atunzwe n’umutsima gusa, atishingikirije ku Mana. Yashakaga gukora nk’aho Imana itigeze ibaho (Itangiriro 3:11). Ibi ni byo byateye Imana guhamagara Aburahamu ikamukura muri Uri muri we akaba ari ho hagombaga kuva ubwoko bw’Abisrayeli bagombaga na bo kuba: (a) Abahagarariye Imana mu isi, (b) Abakurikiza Ijambo ry’Imana, na ( c) umugende w’Umucunguzi (Kuva 19:5, 6; Gutegeka 4:4-8; Abaroma 9:4-5).

Kimwe mu bidushishikaza by’impamvu bikomeye ni ukubaho tuzi umugambi w’Imana, tukamenya ko ubugingo bufite agaciro kandi bukaba burenze ibyo tubona ndetse duhoramo umunsi ku wundi. Kugira ngo ubugingo bugire agaciro, abantu bagomba kubona umugambi n’ukuboko by’Imana mu bugingo bwabo. Ubugingo butagira ibyo ni ubugingo butagira umumaro, nk’uko igitabo cy’Umubwiriza kibyerekana neza.

Umuntu yishingikiriza Imana n’Ijambo ryayo - ku gituruka mu kanwa kayo, twishingikiriza ku mategeko yayo, amasezerano yayo, n’imigambi yayo, atari ku mutsima wacu wa buri munsi gusa, ahubwo mu buryo bukwiriye ubugingo. Kubera ko ibyo ari uko bimeze ntitwagombye kuba twishingikiriza ku Mwami mu gutungwa n’Ijambo rye? Ijambo ry’Imana ni isoko yo kwizera kwacu n’igituma tubana n’Umwami n’umutima We.

Abaroma 10:17 ‘Dore, kwizera guheshwa no kumva, no kumva kukazanwa n’Ijambo rya Kristo.’

Ntitwaremewe gusa kuba ubugingo no kwishimira imigisha y’ubugingo tutishingikirije ku Mana, cyangwa se ngo twishingikirize kuri yo gusa. Twaremewe kubaho dukurikije imigambi y’Imana, kubaho muri We no ku Bwe. Ikindi kintu gitandukanye n’iki ni imburamumaro. Ni ishusho y’akanyamaswa kitwa Gerbille mu mugani w’ikinyabiziga - gihora kigenda ariko ntikigire aho kijya. Kugira ngo tugarure iyi shusho mu buryo burushijeho kwemeza abantu, reka turebe indi mirongo mike

Ahantu ibivugwa mu Kubara 11 byabereye hitwaga Tabera, ‘imva z’abifuje’. Kwifuza ibyo muri ubu bugingo bijyana ku rupfu rutunguranye rw’abantu benshi. Ariko icy’ingenzi kurushaho, abantu bifuzaga kwongera kubona ibyo muri Egiputa n’ibyabo byashize byo mu isi aho gutumbira ku kugera muri Kanani n’umugambi w’Imana ku ishyanga ryose. Ukwivovota kwo mu murongo wa kane kwatangiriye mu bantu basanzwe, abari bazanye n’Abisrayeli bava mu Egiputa. Ariko nk’uko umurongo wa cumi ubyerekana, ibi byabaye nk’umusemburo, nuko bikwira mu mahema yose.

Abanyamerika hamwe n’ibyo kurya byinshi n’ibyo guhitamo byinshi bafite, bashobora gushukura no kwifatanya no kwivovota kw’Abisrayeli, ariko yaba Imana cyangwa Mose nta wigeze yifatanya na bo (reba imirongo ya 1, 10). Reba ukuntu uku kwivovota no kwifuza ibyo bibukaga byashize, abantu babaga bari kugomera imigambi y’Imana: (a) Kuzana Abisrayeli muri Kanani ngo basohoze imigambi yayo yo kubagira ubwoko bw’abatambyi, no (b) kwiga isomo ryo mu Gutegeka 8:3 _ kugira ngo babashe kwiga kubaho mu byishimo byo kuyoborwa n’Uwiteka, imigambi yera ye, no mu byo yabakoreraga (reba 11:20).

Zaburi 106:14-15 ‘Ahubwo bifuriza cyane mu butayu, Bageragerez’Imana ahatagir’abantu. 15 Ibah’ibyo bayisabye; Ariko, imitima yab’iyishyiramo konda.’

Luka 12:23 ‘Kuk’ubugingo burut’ibyo kurya, n’umubir’urut’imyambaro.’

(3) Ihame ryo gusonza: Nk’uko Gutegeka 8:3 no Kubara 11:4 n’ikurikira bitwereka, akenshi Imana yemera ko duhura n’ibitugerageza n’ibirimo ubusa no gusonzera ibyo kurya by’iyi si mbere y’uko dusonzera ukuri kwayo no kuyoborwa na Yo.

Kubara 11:4-6 ‘Abanyamahanga y’ikivange, bari hagati y’Abisrayeli batangira kwifuza, Abisrayeli na bo bongera kurira, baravuga bati: Ni nd’uzaduh’inyama zo kurya? 5 Twibutse ya mafi twarirag’ubusa tukiri mw’Egiputa, n’amadegede, n’amapapali, n’ubutunguru bw’ibibabi by’ibibati n’ubutunguru bw’ibijumba, n’udutungurusumu. 6 Ariko none turumye, nta cyo dufite, nta kindi tureba kitari manu.’

(4) Amahame yo gukanja no kumira: Dukeneye gukanjakanja Ijambo ry’Imana no kurimira buhoro buhoro. Ibi ntibivuga kuryiga gusa, ahubwo kuritekerezaho twitonze dufite umugambi wo kurishyira mu bikorwa. Dukeneye kwibaza ibibazo nk’ibi: Ibi bivuga iki? Bivuga iki kuri jye? Byahindura ubugingo bwanjye gute?

Ingorane duhura na zo:

Satani, inzoka ya kera yashutse Eva (nk’inzoka mu byatsi ni ko ari) akora ijoro n’amanywa mu gushuka abantu bagategereza ko bashobora gutungwa n’umutsima gusa, umuntu ashobora kubona adafite Imana n’Ijambo ryayo. Ibi ni iby’isi - gushaka kubaho nta Mana mu bwirasi bwo kwishingikiriza kuri twe ubwacu n’ibihendo byo muri ubu bugingo.

Gutegeka 8:11-20 ‘Wirinde ntuzibagirwe Uwiteka Imana yawe, ng’utitonder’ibyo yategetse n’amateka yayo n’amategeko yayo, ngutegek’uyu munsi. 12 N’umara kurya, ugahaga, ukamara kubak’amazu meza, ukayabamo, 13 inka zawe n’imikumbi yawe n’ifeza zawe n’izahabu zawe n’iby’ufite byose bikaba bigwiriye; 14 maz’uzirinde, umutima wawe we kwishyira hejuru, ngo wibagirw’Uwiteka Imana yawe, yagukuye mu gihugu cy’Egiputa, mu nzu y’uburetwa, 15 ikakuyobor’inzir’ica muri bwa butayu bunini butey’ubwoba, burimw’inzoka z’ubusagwe butwika na skorupiyo n’ubutaka bugwengeye butarimw’amazi, ikagukurir’amazi mu gitare kirushaho gukomera, 16 ikakugaburira manu mu butayu, iyo basekuruza wanyu batigeze kumenya; kugira ngw’igucishe bugufi, ikugerageze, ibon’ukw’izakugirira neza kw’iherezo ryawe. 17 Uzirinde, we kwibwir’uti: Imbaraga zanjye n’amaboko yanjye ni byo byampeshej’ubu butunzi. 18 Ahubw’uzibuk’Uwiteka Imana yawe, kukw’ari y’iguh’imbaraga zikuronkesh’ubutunzi; kugira ngw’ikomez’isezerano, yasezeranishij’indahiro na ba sekuruza wanyu, nkukw’irikomeza mur’iki gihe. 19 Ni wibagirw’Uwiteka Imana yawe, ugahindukirir’izindi mana, ukazikorera, ukikubita has’imbere yazo, uyu munsi ndaguhamiriza yuk’utazabura kurimbuka. 20 Nk’amahang’Uwiteka arimbur’imbere yanyu, ni ko muzarimbuka, kuko muzaba mutumviy’Uwiteka Imana yanyu.’

Umunsi wa none, kuri byinshi, igihugu cyacu cyibagiwe Imana. Cyavuye mu bibujijwe byo mu Ijambo ry’Imana gihindukirira iby’isi bitera kubaho mu bihendo by’ubu bugingo n’ibitagira umumaro byo mu isi. Ibiri amambu, ibi by’isi ntibigirwa n’abatizera gusa, ahubwo kimwe n’Abisrayeli ba kera, byuzuye imitima y’abakristo benshi. Kubera ibi, Abisrayeli bananiwe gukorera Imana nk’ishyanga ry’abatambyi b’amahanga, kandi nk’Abisrayeli, abakristo bananirwa umurimo wabo wo kugeza agakiza ku barimbuka. Ibikurikira ni ibibazo bimwe by’ingenzi dukwiriye gutekerezaho :

• Mbese dusonzeye ibintu byo muri iyi si kurusha ibyo kurya by’Umwuka biva mu Ijambo ry’Imana?
• Tugira ibyo kurya ki bitunga umubiri buri munsi, ariko ntitugire igihe cy’ibyo kurya by’Umwuka biva mu Ijambo ry’Imana?
• Tugira ibiki byo kumva amakuru, ariko ntitugire ibyo kumva Bibiliya?
• Tugira se ibiki by’imikino yo kuri televiziyo dukunda, ariko ntitugire ibihe byo kwiga Bibiliya mu buryo buhoraho?
• Ipfa ryacu rimeze rite? Iyo inzogera iduhamagarira ibyo kurya ivuze, akaba ari igihe cyo guterana ngo tugaburirwe inyama zo mu Ijambo ry’Imana, mbese twumva dushaka kuza gushyira ibirenge byacu imbere y’ameza yo kwiga Bibiliya? Cyangwa se twangiza ipfa ryacu ry’Ijambo ry’Imana n’ibyo kurya bitagira umumaro byo muri iyi si?

Ishusho ya karindwi: zahabu na feza

Imirongo:

Zaburi 19:10 ‘Bikwiriye kwifuzwa kurut’izahabu, naho yab’izahabu nziza nyinshi: Biryoherera kurut’ubuki n’umushongi w’ibinyag’utonyanga.’

Zaburi 119:72 ‘Amategeko yo mu kanwa kawe n’ay’igiciro kuri jye Kirut’icy’ibic’ibihumbi by’ifeza n’izahabu.’

Zaburi 119:127 ‘Ni cyo gituma nkund’ibyo wategetse, Nkabirutish’izahabu, n’aho yaba izahabu nziza.’

Imigani 8:10-11 ‘Aho gushak’ifeza mutor’ibyo nigisha; Mushak’ubwenge kuburutish’izahabu nziza. 11 Kuk’ubwenge burut’amabuye ya marijani; kandi mu bintu byifuzwa byose nta gihwanye na bwo.’

Imigani 8:19 ‘Imbuto zanjye zirut’izahabu, n’ukuri zirut’izahabu nziza; Kand’indamu yanjy’irut’ifeza y’indobanure.’

Amahame akubiyemo :

Nta gice na kimwe muri ibi byo hejuru aha tubona Ibyanditswe byiswe zahabu cyangwa feza, ariko kubera kugereranya n’izahabu cyangwa feza, aya mabuye y’agaciro ni indi shusho twagereranya n’Ijambo ry’Imana.

(1) Agaciro gahebuje karemanywe na yo: Bibiri mu bicuruzwa byagiraga agaciro byo mu Burasirazuba bwo hagati bwo hambere byari zahabu na feza. Kugereranya Ijambo ry’Imana na rimwe muri ayo mabuye y’agaciro n’indi shusho yerekana agaciro gahebuje kaba mu Ijambo ry’Imana. Ijambo ry’Imana - nka zahabu na feza- rifite agaciro karenze isi. Ayo mabuye yombi ni meza afite n’agaciro karemanywe nayo- cyane cyane zahabu. Mu gihe ibindi bintu bishobora guta agaciro, Ijambo ry’Imana, kimwe na zahabu, rigira agaciro aho ari ho hose n’igihe icyo ari cyo cyose. Mu by’ukuri, icyo Bibiliya yibandaho ni uko Ibyanditswe bifite agaciro kurusha zahabu, ndetse na zahabu yatunganijwe.

Kuki rifite agaciro kangana gatyo? Umunyezaburi yaranditse ati, ‘Amategeko yo mu kanwa kawe ni ay’igiciro kuri jye kiruta icy’ibihe ibihumbi by’ifeza n’izahabu’ (Zaburi 119:72). Muri Zaburi 19:1-6 umunyezaburi avuga ku by’ubwiza bwo guhishurwa kw’Imana mu kurema n’ukuntu ukurema guhishura iby’Imana kugatangaza ubwiza bwe. Ariko arakomeza mu mirongo 7-14 akavuga ibyo guhishurwa kw’Imana kutari uko mu Byanditswe, Ibyanditswe mu miterere na kamere yabyo - icyo Bibiliya ari cyo n’icyo ikora. Kubera ibiriranga n’ibikorwa by’Ijambo ry’Imana, hagati muri ibyo umunyezaburi, yaratangaye ati, ‘Bikwiriye kwifuzwa kuruta izahabu, n’aho yaba izahabu nziza nyinshi’.

Ibyanditswe bifite agaciro gahebuje ku bugingo kuko ari Ijambo ryo mu kanwa k’Imana ubwayo. Ni ugihishurwa kw’Imana nzima. Ni iridahinyuka, ntirikuka, ni iry’ukuri, ryarageragejwe, kandi ni iryo kwiringirwa. Ni Ijambo Ryera ry’Imana kandi ririmo amagambo y’ubugingo.

Ariko hari ibirenze ibyo iyi shusho igaragaza. Iyi shusho mu kugereranya Ibyandistwe n’izahabu bitwigisha ko Bibiliya, kurusha na zahabu, ifite agaciro ko gucungura n’ak’ibiguzi zahabu na feza bidashobora kugira.

(2) Agaciro kabasha gucungura cyangwa ubushobozi bwo kugura: Kubera ko zahabu ifite agaciro, ifite ubushobozi bwo kugura. Ushobora kubona ibintu, amasambu, amazu, imyenda, ibikoresho, imikako y’agaciro, ibikoresho byo mu nzu, imbaraga, no kwinezeza utanze zahabu. Ariko hari ibyo amafaranga cyangwa zahabu bitabasha kugura. Igifite akamaro kurusha ibindi, amafaranga cyangwa zahabu ntabasha kukigura.

Kubw’ibyo dukeneye zahabu y’ubundi bwoko, zahabu y’ukuri kw’Ijambo ry’Imana. Mu by’ukuri, kwita kuri zahabu yo muri iyi si n’ibyo ishobora kugura bizatubuza zahabu y’Ijambo ry’Imana n’imigisha y’Imana.

Ni mu Ijambo ry’Imana tubona Ubutumwa Bwiza bwo gucungurwa kwacu kwamaze kwishyurwa, hadakoreshejwe izahabu cyangwa ifeza byo muri iyi si, ahubwo hakoreshejwe amaraso y’igiciro ya Yesu. Amafaranga ntashobora kugura agakiza k’igihano cy’ibyaha cyangwa se gukizwa imbaraga z’ibyaha, kwizera ubuntu bw’Imana muri Kristo ni byo byonyine bishobora kubikora. Kandi ni Ijambo ry’Imana - rifite agaciro kurusha zahabu yangirika - rizana kwizera.

1 Peteo 1:18-19 ‘Kuko muzi yukw’ibyo mwacungujwe ngo muve mu ngeso zanyu zitagira umumaro mwatojwe na basekuruza wanyu, atar’ibyangirika nk’ifeza cyngw’izahabu, 19 ahubwo mwacungujw’amaraso y’igiciro cyinshi, nk’ay’umwana w’intam’utagir’inenge cyangw’ibara, ni yo ya Kristo,’

Byongeye, nk’igice cy’agakiza gatangwa n’Ijambo ry’Imana, ni ku bw’Ijambo ry’Imana dushobora gucunguza uburyo umwete tugashobora kubona ibintu isi idashobora kuduha nk’umutekano, umunezero nyakuri, kubabarirwa ibyaha, kubaturwa icyaha, umugambi ukwiriye w’ubugingo bwo kwishyira ukizana. Ubwenge bw’Ijambo ry’Imana buriho kuri bose. Butegereje kwakirwa, ariko abo bonyine babukunda kandi babushaka bazabubona. Imigani 8:17 haravuga ngo, ‘Nkunda abankunda, kandi abanshakana umwete barambona.’ Abo bonyine bamenya agaciro ka Bibiliya, ni bo bazajya gucukura bashaka zahabu na feza byo mu Ijambo ry’Imana bazashobora kwongera ubutunzi bwabo bwo kumenya guhitamo iby’Umwuka n’ububasha mu bugingo.

Imigani 2:4-12 ‘Ukabushaka nk’ifeza, Ubugenzura nk’ugenzur’ubutunzi buhishwe; 5 Ni bw’uzamenya kubah’Uwiteka icy’ari cyo, ukabona kumeny’Imana. 6 Uwiteka ni w’utang’ubwenge; Mu kanwa ke havamo kumenya no kujijuka; 7 Abikir’abakiranutsi agakiza; Abagendan’umurava, ababer’ingabo, 8 Kugira ngw’arind’amayira y’imanza zitabera, Kand’atunganye inzira z’abera be. 9 Nibw’uzamenya gukiranuka n’imanza zitabera No gutungana, ndetse n’inzira zose zitunganye. 10 Nuk’ubwenge buzinjira mu mutima wawe, Kandi kumenya kuzanezez’ubugingo bwawe; 11 Amakeng’azakuber’umurinzi; Kujijuka kuzagukiza; 12 Kugira ngo bigukure mu nzira y’ibibi, No mu bantu bavug’iby’ubugoryi.’

Iyi shusho y’Ijambo ry’Imana nka zahabu, ndetse rifite agaciro kurusha zahabu, ikeneye ikindi gikorwa ku ruhande rwacu - gusuzuma ibyo twita iby’agaciro n’ibyo duha umwanya w’ibanze.

(3) Kwongera gusuzuma ibyo twita iby’agaciro: Dukora iki iyo tubonye ikintu cy’agaciro? Soma witonze Matayo 13:44-46. Iyi shusho y’agaciro ka Bibiliya nk’izahabu n’ifeza itwigisha kureba no gusuzuma neza ibyo twita iby’agaciro n’ibyo duha umwanya w’ibanze mu bugingo. Idushishikariza kwibaza ibibazo byo mu mitima.

• Ni iki mpa agaciro kurusha ibindi? Niba mvuga ko ari Imana, Bibiliya, umuryango wanjye n’ibindi, mbese ibikorwa byanjye n’uko ukoresha igihe cyanjye birabyerekana.
• Mbese nkurikirana iki kandi ntegereje iki ku byo twita ubuzima bwiza?
• Dutegereje iki muri iyi si? Ese tuyitegerejemo byinshi? Mbese dushyira ibyiringiro byacu mu zahabu yo mu isi aho kuba muri zahabu yo mu Ijambo ry’Imana ritwigisha iby’Umwami rikamutwegereza?

Yesaya 55:1-3 ‘Yemw’abafit’inyota, nimuze ku mazi, kandi n’udafit’ifeza na we naze; nimuze mugure murye; nimuze mugure vino n’amata, mudatanz’ifeza cyangw’ibindi biguzi. 2 N’iki gituma mutang’ifeza mukagur’ibitar’ibyo kurya nyakuri? N’iki gituma mukorer’ibidahaza? Mugir’umwete wo kunyumvira, mubone kury’ibyiza, ubugingo bwanyu bukishimir’umubyibuho. 3 Muteg’amatwi, muz’aho ndi, munyumve, ubugingo bwanyu bubone kubaho; nanjye nzasezerana namw’isezerano rihoraho, ni ryo mbabazi zidahwema Dawidi yasezeranijwe.’

Iki gice cyo mu Isezerano rya Kera muri Yesaya 55:1-3 kidufitiye ubutumwa bwihariye. Bukora ibintu bitatu: Icya mbere, butanga gutumira kwihariye Imana iha abantu bose. Icya kabiri, budushishikariza gusuzuma twitonze ahantu dushyira ibyiringiro byacu, n’ibyo duha agaciro n’ibyo dukurikirana. Icya nyuma, buduhamagarira gucengera Ijambo ry’Imana ngo dushake iby’agaciro nyakuri ku bugingo. (Reba Umugereka wa 2 ku bivugwa Yesaya 55:1-3).

Ishusho ya munani: umuriro

Imirongo:

Yeremiya 23:29 ‘Kand’Uwiteka arabaz’ati: Mbes’Ijambo ryanjye ntirimeze nk’umuriro? Cyangwa nk’inyundo imenagur’urutare?’

Yeremiya 20:9 ‘Kand’iyo mvuze nti, Sinzamuvuga, haba no guterurira mw’izina rye, mu mutima wanjye hamera nk’aho harimw’umurir’ugurumana, ukingiraniwe mu magufka yanjye, simbashe kwiyumanganya, ngo nyabike.’

Amahame akubiyemo:

Umuriro ukoreshwa mu gushyushya, kwongera ikigero cy’ubushyuhe no gukomeza ibyuma, mu buryo bwo gushongesha amabuye y’agaciro nka zahabu na feza, gutwika ibikenyeri utegura umurima wo guhingwa, gutwika ibitagira umumaro bigomba kurimburwa, ngo gutekesha ibiryo ngo biryohe kandi bibashe kuribwa. Iyo Imana igereranya Ijambo ryayo n’umuriro, n’iki iba ishaka kuvuga? Ni iki ishaka ko twiga muri iyi shusho? Umuriro ni ishusho ya :

(1) Ubushyuhe: Imana yageneye Ijambo ryayo kuyishyuhiriza imitima yacu; guhindura imitima ikonje cyangwa akazuyazi ngo ibe imitima ishyuhiye Imana, ishyuhijwe n’ukuri kwayo, iby’agaciro byayo, imigambi yayo, n’ibyo yitaho hamwe n’urukundo rwayo rusumba byose, n’ubuntu bwayo no kutuyobora.

(2) Kwoza: Ijambo ry’Imana ritwika kandi rikoza ibitari byiza cyangwa ibitagira umumaro mu bugingo bwacu kimwe n’uko ituma dutunganya ibyacu by’agaciro, iby’ibanze, imigambi, imyifatire, intekerezo n’ikigero cy’ukuri n’ikinyoma (Yeremiya 20:9).

(3) Guca imanza: Mu Byanditswe, umuriro ukunze kuvugwa hamwe no guca imanza. Ijambo ry’Imana ricira imanza ubugingo bwacu ariko iyo tudaciriye imanza ubugingo bwacu dukoresheje Ijambo ry’Imana, tuzacirwa imanza nta kabuza n’Umwami mu kuduhana bya kibyeyi kimwe no ku Ntebe y’Imana (Bema) ya Kristo hamwe no guhabwa cyangwa kudahabwa ingororano. (Ku byerekeye inyigisho kuri Bema, reba igice cya mbere, isomo rya karindwi).

1 Abakorinto 11:28-32 ‘Nuk’umuntu yinire yisuzume, abone kurya kur’uwo mutsima no kunywera kur’icyo gikombe: 29 kuk’upfa kurya akanywa atitaye ku mubiri w’Umwami, ab’aririye, kand’ab’anywereye kwishyiraho gucirwahw’iteka: 30 ndetse ni cyo gituma benshi muri mwe bagir’intege, abandi bakarwaragura, abandi benshi bakaba barasinziriye. 31 Ariko twakwisuzuma, ntitwagibwaho n’urubanza. 32 Nyamara, iyo duciriw’urubanza n’Umwami wacu, duhanirwa na we kugira ngo tutazacirirwahw’iteka hamwe n’ab’isi.’

1 Abakorinto 3:13-15 ‘umurimo w’umuntu wes’uzerekanwa. Urya munsi ni w’uzawerekana, kuk’uzahishuzw’umuriro, akab’ari wo kand’uzageragez’umurimo w’umuntu wese. 14 Umurimo w’umuntu, uwo yubatse kur’urwo rufatiro, n’ugumaho, azahabw’ingororano; 15 arik’umurimo w’umuntu n’ushya, azabur’inyungu, nyamar’ubwe azakizwa, ariko nk’ukuwe mu muriro.’

‘Mbese Ijambo ryanjye ntirimeze nk’umuriro?’ (Yeremiya 23:29) ni ko Uwiteka avuga? Ikivugwa muri Yeremiya 23 ni iby’abahanuzi b’ibinyoma banze guhagarara mu nama z’Imana ngo bumve amagambo y’Imana, bagatangariza ubwoko bw’Imana ukuri kwayo (23:18, 21-22). Ahubwo, bavuze ibyo bibwira mu bwenge bwabo. Barwanije imbuzi za Yeremiya bakavuga ko hazabaho amahoro n’uburumbuke kandi ko nta bucakara bw’i Babuloni buzahabo. Imana rero, ivuga ko Ijambo ryayo rizababera nk’umuriro, rifite ubushobozi n’imbaraga kandi ni ryo rizaba intango yo kurimbuka kwabo. Kimwe n’uko umuriro ukongora ibishakashaka, ni ko Ijambo ry’Imana rizakongora abahanuzi b’ibinyoma.

Ingorane duhura na zo: Na twe akenshi ntiducira imanza ubugingo bwacu dukoresheje Ijambo ry’Imana. Tunanirwa kureka Ijambo ry’Imana ngo ritwike ibikenyeri byo mu ntekerezo zacu, gahunda zacu, intego zacu. Ni tutareka ngo Ijambo ry’Imana rikore umurimo waryo, tuzagira ingaruka.

Ishusho ya cyenda: inyundo

Imirongo:

Yeremiya 23:29 ‘Kand’Uwiteka arabaz’ati: Mbes’ijambo ryanjye ntirimeze nk’umuriro? Cyangwa nk’inyundo imenagur’urutare?’

2 Abakorinto 10:3-5 ‘Nubwo tugenda dufit’umubiri w’umuntu, ntiturwana mu buryo bw’abantu, 4 kukw’intwaro z’intambara yac’atar’iz’abantu, ahubw’imbere y’Imana zigir’imbaraga zo guseny’ibihome no kubikubita hasi, 5 dukubita has’impaka n’ikintu cyose cyishyiriye hejuru kurwanya kumeny’Imana, dufata mpir’ibitekerezwa mu mitima byose ngo tubigomorere Kristo.’

Ibyakozwe 20:32 ‘Kandi none mbaragij’Imana n’ijambo ry’ubuntu bwayo ribasha kububaka no kubahan’ibiragwa n’abejejwe bose.’

Amahame akubiyemo :

Turetse ibyo guhonda urutoki rw’umuntu, twese tuzi ko inyundo ifite umumaro w’ingenzi w’uburyo bubiri: Kwubaka no Gusenya. Ariko iyo Imana igereranya Ijambo ryayo n’inyundo, iba ishaka kuvuga iki muri iyo shusho? Na none mu gice cya Yeremiya, ingorane ni imwe nk’iyo haruguru aha, ingorane y’abahanuzi b’ibinyoma bakoraga bakurikije ibyo bibwiraga mu mitima yabo Ibi byavugaga ko barwanyaga Ijambo ry’Imana binyuze mu bahanuzi bayo nyakuri, bakiringira ibyiyumviro byabo ubwabo, kandi ibi byashoboraga kubageza ku kurimbuka kwabo. Ntibubakaga ubugingo bwabo ku kuri kwiringirwa kandi kudakuka kw’Ijambo ry’Imana. None ayo mahame ni ayahe?

(1) Kwubaka, kugereka ibuye ku rindi: Ijambo ry’Imana ryonyine, hamwe n’umurimo w’Umwuka Wera, rifite imbaraga zo kutwubaka muri Kristo no kudukuza mu by’Umwuka no kutajegajega (reba Ibyakozwe 20:32). Tugomba iteka kuba twubaka kandi tuzamura inzego z’ukuri kw’Imana mu mitima n’ubwenge byacu biti ihi se tuzaba twubaka inzego za kamere n’iby’isi by’ibinyoma kandi birimbura byo mu ntekerezo z’umuntu. Izo ntekerezo za kimuntu kandi z’ubwirasi zose ubwa mbere zirikuza zikarwanya kumenya Imana. Mbere na mbere zirwanya Imana n’umuntu. Zitambamira ubushobozi bwacu bwo kuba abo Imana yatugeneye kuba nk’abantu bayo. Ibigeretse kuri ibi, intekerezo z’umuntu, ibyo umuntu yibwira mu mutima we, bijyana iteka ku kurimbuka. Zidusiga mu bushake bw’imyuka, imiraba n’imiyaga yo mu isi kimwe neza n’umuntu wubaka inzu ye ku musenyi aho kuyubaka ku rutare ari rwo Jambo ry’Imana.

(2) Gusenga, gushwanyagura: Kenshi, ndetse muri rusange, mbere y’uko twubaka tubanza gukora umurimo wo gusenya. Tugomba gushwanyagura ibishaje, ibyo umuntu yibwira, bihagarara ahagomba kwubakwa ibishya.

Ingorane duhura na zo:

‘Igihome’ rimwe na rimwe kiba cyubakanye ubwirasi burwanya kumenya Imana n’ibyo uko kumenya kumariye umuntu n’inkurikizi zako, imigisha, n’uruhare rw’umuntu. Ni ikintu icyo ari cyo cyose gitambamira ubukristo nyakuri. Ibi birimo ikintu cyose birwanya gushyira mu bikorwa ibyo kumenya Imana n’inkurikizi zabyo mu bugingo bw’umuntu. Ibi birimo uburyo bwose bwo kwikunda, iby’abantu, iby’idini, iby’amarangamutima, iby’isi, iby’amadini adasanzwe, iby’ubutunzi bw’iby’isi, n’ibindi. Ariko bishobora no kubamo imyifatire mibi inanirwa kwishingikiriza amasezerano, amahame n’imigambi yo mu Ijambo ry’Imana.

Mu yandi magambo, ibihome ni ibitekerezo, imyifatire, n’ibishushanyo bibera intambamyi ibyo Ibyanditswe bikora mu bugingo bw’umuntu no kuduhishurira Imana. Binyuze mu masengesho no kwiga by’ukuri Ijambo ry’Imana, dushobora kugera ku bintu bibiri: (a) kurimbura imyifatire, ibyiyumviro no gutekereza kunyuranije n’ibitekerezo by’Ibyanditswe, na (b) mu mwanya waryo, twaba twubaka ibitekerezo by’Imana nk’urufatiro n’urwego rukomeye rwo gutekereza kwacu no kubaho kwacu.

Ishusho ya cumi: imbuto

Imirongo:

Mariko 4:14 ‘Umubibyi n’ubib’ijambo ry’Imana.’

Mariko 4:26-28 ‘Aronger’arababwir’ati: Ubwami bw’Imana bugereranwa n’umuntu ubibye imbuto mu butaka, 27 akagenda, agasinzira, akabyuka nijoro no ku manywa, n’imbuto ziramera zigakura, ataz’uko zikuze. 28 Ubutaka bwimez’ubwabwo, ubwa mbere habanza kub’utwatsi, maze hanyuma zikab’imigengararo, hagaheruka amahundo afit’imbuto.’

Abakolosayi 1:5-7 ‘Kubw’ibyiringiro by’ibyo mwabikiwe mw’ijuru, ibyo mwumvise kera mw’ijambo ry’ukuri k’Ubutumwa Bwiza 6 bwabagezeho namwe, nk’uko bwageze no mw’isi yose, buker’imbuto bugakura, nk’uko no muri mwe bwazeze, uhereye wa munsi mwumviyemo mukameny’ubuntu bw’Imana by’ukuri: 7 nk’uko mwigishijwe na Epafura, umugaragu mugenzi wacu dukunda, wababerey’umukoz’ukiranuka wa Kristo wo kubagaburir’ibye,’

Amahame akubiyemo :

(1) Gukenera gutegurwa: Gutegurira umutima w’umuntu Ijambo ry’Imana.

(2) Intego yo kwera imbuto: Ububasha bwo kwerera Imana imbuto z’Umwuka.

(3) Ibyo gukora nko mu buryo bwikora: Ububasha bwo gukora ibintu bigasa n’ibyikora.

Muri Mariko 4:28, ijambo ‘ubwabwo’ ni ubusobanuro bw’Ikigiriki automatos riturukwaho n’ijambo rutomatiki. Risobanurwa, ‘icyikoresha, icyikora, ikitagira inkunga ituruka hanze, na none ikitayoborwa n’ibiturutse hanze’. Iri jambo ahandi rikoreshwa honyine mu Isezerano Rishya ni mu Byakozwe 12:10. Aho umuryango wa kasho ya Petero warikinguye, mu buryo bwikoze, nta muntu ubigizemo uruhare.

Ikivugwa aha ni uko isi, cyangwa se imbuto yatewe mu isi, ibyara izindi mbuto mu buryo bwikoze. Ibikora ityo kuko biri muri kamere yayo nk’uko Imana yayiremeye kugenza ityo. Hatariho imbuto y’ubugingo, ibindi byose bikenerwa, ubutaka, izuba, imvura, no guhinga byaba imfabusa. Ibindi byose birafatanya, ariko ihame ry’ubugingo, imbaraga zo kwera izindi mbuto, riba mu mbuto.

Uyu mugani uvuga iby’imbaraga z Ijambo ry’Imana n’uko Imana itera kwera imbuto no gusarura mu bugingo bw’abantu. Ijambo ry’Imana, iyo ritewe mu mitima y’abantu, ryera imbuto. Ubutaka bukeneye guhingwa, n’imbuto ikeneye kuhirwa, ariko hatariho Ijambo ry’Imana, nta cyashoboka. Igikenewe cy’ingirakamaro ni Ijambo ry’Imana rizima kandi ryuzuye imbaraga, imbaraga z’Imana zitanga agakiza.

Abaroma 1:16 ‘Ereg’Ubutumwa Bwiza ntibunkoz’ isoni: kukw’ar’imbaraga y’Imana ihesh’uwizera wese gukizwa, uhereye ku Muyuda, ukageza ku Mugiriki:’

Iyo duhamiriza abandi n’Imana ishobora gukoresha ubugingo bwacu kandi akenshi ni ko ibigenza mu gutegura ubutaka bw’imitima y’abandi ngo yakire imbuto y’Ijambo ry’Imana, ariko icy’ ibanze ni Ijambo ry’ Imana abantu bagomba kumva, Ubutumwa bwiza bwa Kristo.

Mu bugingo bwacu, Imana ishobora gukoresha ibintu byinshi ngo iduhe imigisha mu by’Umwuka no mu gufasha gukura kwacu - kuririmba, gukomeza, n’urukundo no guterana n’abandi bizera. Ariko icy’ibanze, ni Ijambo ry’Imana ryonyine ritewe kandi rigahingirwa mu mutima no mu bwenge rishobora gutera guhinduka mu by’Umwuka kwera imbuto by’ukuri kandi byuzuye.

Dukeneye buri wese kwibaza ibibazo bimwe na bimwe: mbese imyifatire yanjye imbere y’umugambi w’Imana n’ubushake bwayo ku bugingo bwanjye, ku bintu bingeraho, ku bw’umurimo Imana imfitiye ubu n’igihe kizaza, imeze ite? Mbese ndakonje, nta shyaka mfite, nshaka se guhunga? Mbuze ibinshishikaza, imbaraga, nshimishwa n’ibyo Imana ifitiye ubugingo bwanjye? Niba ari ko biri, itanura ry’Umwuka ryanjye rikeneye gukoranywa no kwongerwamo amakara yaka y’Ijambo ry’Imana binyuze mu kugira igihe cy’Ijambo ry’Imana buri munsi.

Mbese mbuze gushikama? Mbese nkunze gucika intege iyo mpuye n’ibinaniza? Mbese ubugingo bwanjye no gusobanukirwa iby’Ijambo ry’Imana n’ibyo Imana ishakira mu bugingo bwanjye byatwawe n’imyifatire mibi, intekerezo umuntu yishyiramo, ibyaranze umuntu mu bihe byashize, imigenzo y’abantu, cyangwa se uko ibintu byakorwaga kera? Na none rero nkeneye gutangira gahunda yo gusenya mbere yo kwubaka.

Ni gisubizo ki mpa Ijambo ry’Imana? Mbese ndi butaka ki? Mbese meze nk’inzira yatsindagiwe cyangwa nk’urutare rutagira ubutaka? Mbese meze nk’akarima k’ubutaka kuzuye ibyatsi bibi bibuza gukura kw’imbuto y’ukuri kw’Ijambo ry’Imana?

Niba ari uko bimeze, nkeneye gutegura ubutaka bw’umutima wanjye. None nabikora nte? Reka ngire ibyo mbagezaho:

(1) Mujye muterana - tugomba kujya tuza kwiga Ijambo ry’Imana twamaze kwihana icyaha kizwi cyose.

1 Petero 2:1-2 ‘Nuko mwiyambur’igomwa ryose n’uburiganya bwose n’uburyarya n’ishyari no gusebanya kose, 2 mumere nk’impinja zivutse vuba, mwifuz’amata yUmwuk’adafunguye, kugira ngw’abakuze, abageze ku gakiza:’

Yakobo 1:21 ‘Ubwo bimeze bityo, mwiyambur’imyanda yose n’ububi busaze, mwakiran’ubugwanez’ijambo ryatewe muri mwe, ribasha gukiz’ubugingo bwanyu.’

(2) Mujye musenga, mwishingikirize, kandi mutegereze Imana ngo itwigishe kandi idusobanurire ukuri kwayo - dukeneye kuba nk’umunyezaburi wasenze ati, ‘Hwejesha amaso yanjye kugira ngo ndebe ibitangaza byo mu mategeko yawe’ (Zaburi 119:18).

(3) Mube abantu bahambutse, bashobora kwigishwa, ariko na none bafite intego - mureke Ijambo ry’Imana ryivugire ubwaryo nk’uko ibyo muri iki gice bivuga ngo ribashe kutwigisha ukuri. Naho ubundi, bitewe n’ibyo twanyuzemo cyangwa intekerezo byacu kwemera iki gice kandi iherezo ryaba amakosa gusa.

(4) Mukunde kwiga - mwige kandi mushyire mu bikorwa ubwanyu amahame y’uburyo bwo kwiga Bibiliya.

1 Timoteyo 2:15 ‘Nyamar’abagore bazakizwa mw’ibyara, ni bakomeza kwizera, bakagir’urukundo no kwera, bakirinda.’

(5) Mugire umwete - mu gushyira mu bikorwa no gucira imanza ubugingo bwacu dukoresheje Ijambo ry’Imana ku bwo kwizera.’

Imirongo mirongo itanu n’umunani muri Bibiliya irimo ijambo ‘ubuki’. Imwe muri iyi mirongo yerekeye ikinyobwa bakora bashyuhije umutobe w’imizabibu witwa dibs kandi uyu bishoboka kuba ari wo witwaga ubuki ahenshi muri Bibiliya.⁷⁴ Ubuki bwari ‘bwuzuye’ igihugu ni ubw’iki kinyobwa. Nubwo Abanyegiputa bagiraga amarumbo y’inzuki mu mitiba, ibi Abayuda ntibabigize kugeza igihe cy’Abaromani. Impamvu imwe, icyakora, byaba ari uko iby’igihugu gitemba ubuki bwari ubuki bw’inzuki zo mu mashyamba aho kuba ubw’icyo kinyobwa. Ubuki bwashoboraga kuboneka mu biti bifukuye imbere (1 Samweli 14:25-27), mu myobo yo mu rutare (Zaburi 18:16; Gutegeka 32:13), no mu bisigazwa by’inyamaswa (Abacamanza 14:8-9).

Ubuki cyari ikimenyetso cy’imigisha, cyangwa uburumbuke, agaciro, ubukire, kandi bwabonwaga nka bimwe mu by’ibanze by’ubugingo. Bwaryoshyaga ibyo kurya ndetse bwakoreshwaga nk’ibyo kurya ubwabwo. Mu kwerekana agaciro n’imigisha by’igihugu Uwiteka yari ahaye Abisirayeli, yakivuze kenshi ko ari igihugu gitemba amata n’ubuki.

(2) Kimwe n’ubuki, Bibiliya ikomoka ku Mana yonyine

Nubwo abahanga bakoze ubushakashatsi bukomeye, umuntu w’iki gihe ntarabasha kugera ku buryo bwo gukora igisa n’ubuki. Imana yonyine ni yo ishobora gukora ubuki mu buryo bukomeye ikoresheje inzuki ziduhira n’ibinyagu. Abahanga mu by’ibyo kurya bemeranya ko Imana mu buhanga bwayo yakoze ubuki mu buryo bwihariye nka kimwe mu byo kurya bya kamere kandi byuzuye. Burimo buri ntunga-mubiri za ngombwa ku buzima bwiza. Mu buryo nk’ubwo Imana ishobora gukora no kurinda Ijambo ryayo ryuzuye, ari ryo Bibiliya Yera. Ni igitabo kidasanzwe umuntu adashobora kwandika ikikiruta cyangwa ngo acyigane, akiyungurure, agire icyo akuraho , cyangwa ngo agire icyo yongeraho. Ni ibyo kurya bitunganye, by’Umwuka birimo buri vitamini n’intungamubiri by’Umwuka dukeneye muri ubu bugingo ku byerekeye uko tugendana n’Imana.⁷⁵

(3) Nk’ubuki, Bibiliya yatangiwe kudufasha

Igihe Imana yaremye isi yagiranye n’inzuki amasezerano yo gukora ubuki. Ni zo zonyine zifite uburenganzira bwo gukora ubuki no kubushakira isoko mu isi. Si inyoni, inyamaswa nini, cyangwa udusimba duto, ni inzuki. Mu by’ubuhanga, inzuki ntizikora mu by’ukuri ubuki. Zo ni nk’amato atwara amazi yo mu ndabyo zikayajyana mu gice cyo mu muzinga cyitwa ibinyagu. Uburyo amazi y’indabo ahinduka ubuki ni amayobera ku mwana w’umuntu. Nubwo ibibugize biva mu mazi y’indabyo, inzuki nta cyo zongera cyangwa ngo zikuremo, icyo zikora ni ukuvana amazi mu ndabyo zikayajyana mu binyagu Ibara, uburyohe, n’impumuro by’ubuki icyakora biterwa n’ubwoko bw’indabyo inzuki zikuramo amazi menshi. Mu buryo nk’ubwo, abantu banditse Ibyanditswe bari imigende gusa yo guhishurwa gutunganye bitabujije ko hagaragaramo uburyo bwabo busanzwe bwo kwandika n’uko bateye. Ibyibandwaho, guhitamo amagambo, n’uburyo bwabo bwo kwandika biterwa n’ibyo buri mwanditsi yanyuzemo, amashuri yize, n’ubumenyi.

Kimwe n’inzuki, abanditsi b’abantu bari abakozi b’Imana bo kwandika, gutara, no kurinda Bibiliya. Aba bantu banditse Ibyanditswe Byera, uko biri kose, bayobowe n’Imana ntibigeze batatira guhishurwa kwuzuye Imana yatangaga ibakoresheje.

Ugusa kw’amayobera y’Imana y’ubuki kuratangaje. Abahanga mu by’ubuhinzi bapimye ubuki buturuka mu bihingwa biterwa imiti basanga itagaragara na gato muri ubwo buki.⁷⁶

(4) Kimwe n’ubuki, Ijambo ry’Imana no guhishurwa riduha byarasobanuwe neza

Inzuki ntizisarura buri rurabyo zibonye rwose. Mu by’ukuri, zihitamo ubwoko bw’uburabyo zuzurisha ibyo zitwaramo. Zizi guhitamo, zikundira uburyohe bumwe na bumwe. Iyo zibonye ibizimishisha, zirafunga zigatwara. Ku ngendo miliyoni ebyiri inzuki zitara amazi y’uburabyo yo gukora garama 454 z’ubuki! Zitondera kurundanya ibyo zataye ahantu hamwe mu kinyagu. Ubuki iteka buba bumeze neza kandi bushobora kuribwa n’ushaka kwihuta. Tekereza ko kurya akayiko kamwe k’icyayi k’ubuki ari ukunyunyuza ingufu z’ubugingo bwose bw’inzuki amagana. Imana ntisanzwe. Ntiyaduhaye ikinyagu cyose. Yaduhitiyemo, iduhishurira gusa ibya ngombwa byo gukomeza agakiza kacu muri Kristo no gukurira muri We. Yohana, asoza Ubutumwa Bwiza bwe, abivuga neza:

‘Ariko hariho n’ibindi byinshi Yesu yakoze; byakwandikwa byose, ngira ngo ibitabo byakwandikwa ntibyakwirwa mu isi.’

Umunsi umwe ntuhagije gusoma no kunyuza amaso mu bitabo byo mu nzu z’ibitabo nini yo mu ijuru. Ariko kuri ubu, Imana ubwayo yampitiyemo yitonze igitabo kimwe gihagije. Kimwe n’ubuki, Ijambo ryayo ribikwa neza ahantu hamwe, Ibyanditswe, bishobora guhita biribwa ngo bitange ingufu z’Umwuka z’ako kanya. Kurya ni akanya gato mu masengesho yo muri Bibiliya; ni ugusogongera ku guhishurwa kuryohereye kw’Imana ko ku Mwuka, twazaniwe n’ukuboko kwahiswemo kw’abanditsi b’abantu. Gufata Bibiliya imwe mu ntoki ni igikorwa cyo kwakira ingufu nziza z’abantu ibihumbi batanze ubugingo bwabo ngo irindwe uko imyaka yagiye ikurikirana.⁷⁷

(5) Kimwe n’ubuki, Ijambo ry’Imana riraryoha, rirakurura, kandi ridutumirira kuza kurya, ariko bigira umumaro gusa iyo ririwe n’umuntu ku giti cye kandi rigakoreshwa ku byihariye by’ubugingo bw’umuntu (Zaburi 19:9-10)

Mu bihe byo mu Isezerano Rishya iyo umwana w’umuhungu yajyaga ku ishuri ubwa mbere, yajyaga mu isinagogi hacyijimye kumva inkuru z’uko Mose yahawe amategeko. Hanyuma akajyanwa mu nzu y’umwarimu akarirayo ibya mu gitondo, aho yahabwaga za gato n’inyuguti z’amategeko yanditse kuri zo. Mu ishuri, umuhungu yahabwaga urubaho rwanditseho imirongo yo muri Bibiliya. Urwo rubaho rwabaga rusizeho ubuki. Yagombaga kwandika inyuguti kuri ubwo buki n’ikaramu ye, kandi byari bimenyerewe kurigata ku mutwe w’ikaramu uko yakomezaga kwandika. Igitekerezo kwari ukugira ngo amenye ko yagiye ku ishuri ngo azabasha kumira Ibyanditswe. Ubu buryo bwo kwiga bwasaga n’aho bwari bushingiye ku mico ya kera Dawidi avuga muri Zaburi.⁷⁸

Ahari uyu muco wari ugenewe kwerekana uko Ijambo ry’Imana ryongera uburyohe ku bugingo nk’uko rihishura Imana n’ubuntu bwayo. Umunyezaburi adushishikariza gusogongera ngo tumenye y’uko Uwiteka agira neza muri Zaburi 34:8. Nihe twasogongera ku kugira neza kw’Imana atari mu Ijambo ryayo? Mu buryo nk’ubwo, akoresheje kugereranya n’amata, Petero aduhatira kwifuza amata adafunguye yo mu Ijambo ry’Imana, hanyuma, nko kudushishikaza yongeraho ati, ‘niba mwarasogongeye mukamenya yuko Umwami wacu agira neza.’

Ingorane duhura na zo :

(1) Imigani 5:3, “Kuko iminwa y’umugore w’inzaduka itonyanga ubuki, kandi akanwa ke karusha amavuta koroha,” hatwibutsa ko Satani n’isi bafite ibyigano bikoreshwa nk’ubuki ngo bituyobye inzira y’Umwami bitujyane mu byaha. Bityo, dukeneye iteka kwihatira kwitondera Ijambo ry’Imana (reba Imigani 5:1-2).

(2) Imigani 27:7, “Uwijuse akandagira mu buki, ariko inda ishonje ikirura cyose kiraryoherera,” mu buryo bumwe naho hatuburira ko, kimwe n’uko iyo duhaze tubura ipfa, ni ko dushobora guhaga iby’isi bikadutera kutararikira iby’Imana.

(3) Imigani 25:16, “Mbese ubonye ubuki? Uryeho ubuguhagije; nturenze urugero kugira ngo utaburuka.” Ibi byerekeye Ijambo ry’Imana gusa iyo tutaritekerezaho neza ngo turishyire mu bikorwa mu bugingo bwacu.

Uko tugomba kwifata imbere ya Bibiliya
(Uko tugomba kuyibona)

Dukwiriye kuyibona nk’ihagije kandi ifite ubutware

Bibiliya ni yo ituyobora mu byo kwizera n’ibyo dukora kandi irahagije mu kudufasha guhangana n’ingorane zo muri ubu bugingo ziterwa n’imyuka n’amarangamutima.

1 Abatesalonike 2:13 ‘Icyo dushimir’Imana ubudasiba, n’uk’ubwo twabahagij’Ijambo ry’Ubutumwa Bwiza, ari ryo jambo ry’Imana, mutaryemeye nk’ahw’ar’ijambo ry’abantu, ahubwo mwaryemeye nk’Ijambo ry’Imana, nk’uko riri koko, kandi rigakorera no muri mw’abizera;’

Yakobo 1:21 ‘Ubwo bimeze bityo, mwiyambur’imyanda yose n’ububi busaze, mwakiran’ubugwanez’ijambo ryatewe muri mwe, ribasha gukiz’ubugingo bwanyu.’

1 Petero 2:2 ‘mumere nk’ impinja zivutse vuba, mwifuz’ amata y’ Umwuk’ adafunguye, kugira ngw’ abakuze, abageze ku gakiza:’

2 Petero 1:3-4 ‘Kukw’imbabaraga z’ubumana bwayo zatugabiy’ibintu byose bizan’ubugingo no kubah’Imana, tubiheshejwe no kumeya nez’uwahamagarishij’ubwiza bwe n’ingeso ze nziza. 4 Ibyo ni byo byatumy’aduh’ibyo yasezeranije by’igiciro cyinshi, bikomeye cyane, kugira ngo bibatere gufatanya na kamere y’Imana mumaze guhunga no gukira kononekara kwazanywe mw’isi no kwifuza.’

2 Petero 1:19-21 ‘Nyamara rero dufitiy’Ijambo ryahanuwe, rirushaho gukomera, kandi muzaba mukoze neza, nimuryitaho, kuko rimeze nk’itabaza rimurikir’ahacuz’umwijima, rigakesh’ijoro, rikagez’ahw’inyenyeri yo mu ruturuturu izabandurira mu mitima yanyu. 20 Ariko mubanze kumenya yukw’ari nta buhanuzi bwo mu Byanditswe bubasha gusobanurw’uk’umuntu wese yishakiye, 21 kukw’ari nta buhanuzi bwazanywe n’ubushake bw’umuntu, ahubw’abantu b’Imana bavug’ibyavaga ku Mana, bashorewe n’Umwuka Wera.’

Icyakora, hari izindi nkomoko z’ubutware abantu bakoresha zihindura ubusa ubutware bw’Ibyanditswe mu bugingo bwabo. Zimwe muri izi ni imico y’abantu (harimo n’amateka), iby’inzego z’ubutegetsi bwashyizweho n’abantu, ibyo gutekereza cyangwa kwisobanura, iby’amayobera, iby’amarangamutima, iby’ibyo abantu babonye mu mibereho, ibyerekeranye n’urukundo ruruta ibindi, ibya filozofiya, iby’ibyo mu mutwe, iby’amashyirahamwe y’abafana (reba Mariko 7:6-13; Abakolosayi 2:16-23; 1 Abakorinto 3:3-5).

Dukwiriye kwirinda izindi nkomoko z’ubutware

Imigenzo y’abantu

Icya mbere dukwiriye gutandukanya imigenzo ya Bibiliya n’imigenzo y’abantu. Imigenzo ya Bibiliya ni ibyagiye bihererekanywa mu nyigisho n’inyandiko by’intumwa n’abahanuzi kandi ibi birumvikana, bifite ubutware kubera ko byahumetswe no guhishurwa kuva ku Mana. Imigenzo y’abantu, icyakora, igizwe n’inyigisho zisanzwe z’abantu. Nta butware ifite kandi ntigomba na rimwe gusumbishwa cyangwa guhindura ubusa Ijambo ry’Imana. Tubona ubu bwoko bwombi bw’imigenzo muri iyi mirongo ikurikira.

2 Abatesalonike 3:6 ‘Nuko, bene Data, turabategeka mw’izina ry’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, kuzibukira mwene Data wese ugenda yica gahunda, cyangwa udakurikiza amabwiriza mwahawe na twe.’

Abakolosayi 2:8 ‘Mwirinde, hatagir’umunt’ubanyagish’ubwenge bw’abantu n’ibihendo by’ubusa, bikurikiz’imihango y’abantu, iyo bahawe na ba sekuruza hw’akarande kandi bigakurikiz’imigenzereze ya mbere y’iby’isi bidakurikiza Kristo.’

Ahari intambara no kutumvikana, Ibyanditswe ni byo bigomba gukiranura. Ariko akenshi Imigenzo y’Itorero cyangwa y’idini, imigenzo y’umuryango, n’ubwoko bwose bw’imigenzo yo muri iyi si bihabwa umwanya w’ibanze mbere ya Bibiliya Yera. Incuro nyinshi Ibyanditswe birasuzugurwa gusa. Abantu akenshi basuzugura Bibiliya mu gihe baha imigenzo yabo agaciro nk’aho ifite urufatiro ku Ijambo ry’Imana ndetse nk’aho ari Ibyanditswe Byera kandi atari byo. Igihe cyose ibi bibaye, tuba duhinduye ubusa Ijambo ry’Imana.

Matayo 15:1-6 ‘Nukw’Abafarisayo n’Abanditsi bavuy’i Yerusalemu baz’aho Yesu ari, baramubaza bati: 2 N’iki gitum’abigishwa bawe bataziririz’imigenzo y’aba kera ntibajabik’intoke mu mazi bagiye kurya? 3 Na w’arabasubiz’ati: Namwe n’iki gituma mucumurir’itegeko ry’Imana imigenzo yanyu? 4 Kukw’Imana yavuz’iti: wubahe so na nyoko; kand’iti: ututse se cyangwa nyina, bamwice. 5 Ariko mwebweho muravuga muti, umuntu wes’ubwira se cyangwa nyina ati, icyo najyaga kugufashisha nagituy’Imana; umez’atyo ntahatwa kwubaha se cyangwa nyina. 6 Nukw’Ijambo ry’Imana mwarihinduy’ubusa, ngo mukomeze imigenzo yanyu.’

Imigenzo yose si ko ari mibi cyangwa ngo ibe ivuguruza Ijambo ry’Imana. Icyo dukeneye ni ugutandukanya imigenzo y’abantu n’ukuri kwa Bibiliya mu gusuzumira ibyo twizera n’ibyo dukora mu mucyo w’Ibyanditswe. Dukeneye gusuzuma amoko yose y’imigenzo y’abantu, si imwe gusa, imbere y’umucyo w’ubutware bwahumetswe n’Imana, ari bwo Bibiliya.

Ingero zimwe cyangwa inkomoko zimwe z’imigenzo ni izi:

(1) Inama z’itorero: Ubusobanuro bw’inyigisho z’amahame ya gikristo ntibwabereyeho igihe kimwe cyangwa mu buryo bumwe. Rimwe na rimwe umucyo washoboraga kumurikira inyigisho y’amahame imwe hanyuma indi uko ibibazo byagendaga bivuka kubera udutsiko cyangwa inyigisho zadukaga. Kugira ngo herekanwe icyo Bibiliya yigisha kuri ibyo bibazo bitandukanye, inama zateranywaga n’abayobozi b’Itorero zigasuzuma kandi zikemeza icyo Itorero rigomba kwizera ku nyigisho z’amahame zitandukanye. Ingero z’inama nk’izo ni Inama z’i Nice (318), Constantinople (381), Chalcedoine (451), na Sinodi y’i Toledo (589). Ibyemezo nk’ibyo bigomba gusuzumirwa mu mucyo w’Ijambo ry’Imana. Akenshi ibyemezo byabo byabaga bihuje n’inyigisho y’Ijambo ry’Imana. Icy’ingenzi ni uko tuyoborwa n’Ijambo ry’Imana - si izo nama.

(2) Papa: Ibyo tuvuga aha ni ibyagiye bishyirwaho n’aba Papa batandukanye uko imyaka yahitaga hanyuma bigahererekanywa igisekuru ku kindi nk’amategeko y’Ubutumwa Bwiza. Amahame cyangwa inyigisho za Papa (cyangwa n’undi muntu wese) ntibigomba na rimwe kutuyobora - Bibiliya yonyine ni yo igomba kutuyobora.

(3) Ndemera (credo) z’amadini kimwe n’inyandiko-mvugo y’inyigisho y’amahame itorero runaka rigenderaho: Ibi bikunze kuba amagambo cyangwa amahame, amadini cyangwa amatorero runaka agira ibyo yizera mu nyigisho z’amahame. Ibi bigenewe kwerekana ibyo Bibiliya yigisha, ariko kubera ko Bibiliya ari yo yonyine yahumetswe n’Imana, ndemera ko izi nama zitagomba na rimwe gufatwa nk’izisimbura Bibiliya cyangwa se izingana na yo.

(4) Gahunda cyangwa inzego z’itorero: mu bikorwa izi akenshi zihinduka imigenzo ifatwa nk’aho yanditswe ku mabuye nk’amategeko cumi. Kugerageza guhindura gahunda cyangwa uko ibintu bikurikiranywa ni kimwe no guhinyura kwizera. Akenshi izi gahunda zihinduka nk’inka zera’ z’ingirakamaro kurusha ikindi kintu cyose. Twumva amagambo nka, ‘si uko ibintu bigomba gukorwa. Ntitwigeze tubikora dutyo mbere.’ Ndibuka numva umudiyakoni warakariye umupasitoro ku cyumweru mu gitondo bari hafi kujya kwicara imbere mu rusengero mu iteraniro rya saa tanu. Bari bafite umuvugabutumwa w’umushyitsi, maze igihe Pasitoro yinjiriye mu muryango adasanzwe yinjiriramo, umudiyakoni abwira Pasitoro ko atagomba kwinjirira muri uwo muryango. Ahari yakekaga ko bishobora gushitura abantu bari bategereje ko bababona binjiriye mu wundi muryango. Umudiyakoni avugira mu matama ati, ‘Ibi ntibisanzwe, ibi ntibisanzwe.’ Turaseka, ariko ibintu nk’ibi bibaho incuro ibihumbi zitandukanye - zimwe muri zo zibamo ibintu birushijeho gukara.

(5) Talmud, Mishna: Inyandiko z’Abayuda zikubiyemo imigenzo imwe ya kiyuda.

(6) Amahame ya politiki cyangwa mu by’ubuhanga nka Evolisiyo: Evolisiyo (yigisha ko umuntu yavuye mu nyamaswa) si ikindi nk’amahame y’umwana w’umuntu ashingiye ku busobanuro bw’ab’isi bw’ibisigazwa bya kera no kurwanya kumenya Imana kwabo. Ariko Evolisiyo yaje kuba umugenzo wacengeye isi yacu hatitaweho ingero ziyivuguruza. Bityo, iha umuntu uburyo bwe bwo gusobanura ibice bya mbere by’Igitabo cy’Intangiriro.

(7) Amategeko-shingiro y’itorero: Amategeko shingiro y’Itorero afite umwanya wayo, cyane cyane iyo yakozwe hakurikijwe Ijambo ry’Imana nk’iriyobora ubutware. Ariko ashobora guhinduka nk’ikoti rifunganye agatambamira intego, ibikorwa, n’umurimo bya Bibiliya iyo ahawe ubutware bumwe n’ubwa Bibiliya. Urugero, reka tuvuge ko amategeko yihariye cyangwa shingiro y’Itorero avuga ko rigomba kugira umubare runaka w’abakuru b’Itorero. Bigenda bite iyo mu Itorero hataboneka abagabo bangana batyo bujuje ibivugwa muri 1 Timoteyo 3 na Tito 1? Mbese Itorero rikurikiza Ijambo ry’Imana rigategereza ko Imana izabyutsa abagabo bujuje ibya ngombwa bo kuyikorera? Cyangwa se ryirengagiza Ijambo ry’Imana rigatoranya umubare uvugwa mu mategeko yaryo rititaye ku myifatire yabo? Igisubizo kirumvikana, ariko nzi amatorero yirengagije Ijambo ry’Imana agakurikiza amategeko yayo.

(8) Amateka y’itorero: Dushobora kwiga byinshi mu mateka, kandi ntitugomba kubyirengagiza. Amateka y’Itorero n’intekerezo z’abize Ijambo ry’Imana mbere yacu bigaragaza umurimo w’Imana mu bantu bayo mu myaka yahise. Tutitaye ku gaciro, icyakora, ibyo abantu b’Imana batekereje kandi bigishije mu bihe byashize ntabwo byahumetswe n’Imana. Ntitugomba gusuzugura ijwi ryabo, ariko na none ntitugomba kuroha ubutware kuri twe kuko Bibiliya ari yo yonyine yahumetswe n’Imana. Iyi ngingo y’iby’amateka rimwe na rimwe ihinduka nk’agakingirizo ko kurwanisha inyigisho z’amahame hadakurikijwe ukuntu izo nyigisho ziba zihuje n’ubusobanuro nyabwo bw’Ibyanditswe Byera. Agakingirizo kamera nka gutya:

Niba hari ikintu cyigishijwe n’Itorero rya mbere, ni icy’ukuri. Niba inyigisho ari iya vuba, ukuri kwuzuye kwayo nibura gushobora gushidikanywaho iyo kutari ibinyoma...

Kuba iya kera cyangwa iya vuba kw’inyigisho n’umubare w’abantu bayirwanya cyangwa bayishyigikiye bituma biba byiza kuyiga, ariko nta na kimwe muri byo cyemeza cyangwa kirwanya ukuri kw’iyo nyigisho.

Iby’ubushya bw’inyigisho byashyizwe ku nyigisho z’abakoze ivugurura ry’Itorero (Reformateurs). John Calvin yasubije muri aya magambo:

‘Mbere na mbere kuzita nshya bakorera Imana nabi, kuko Ijambo Ryera ryayo ritagomba kwitwa inzaduka ... Kuba ryaramaze igihe kirekire ritazwi byatewe n’ububi bwo kutera k’Umwana w’umuntu. None mu gihe ubugwaneza bw’Imana buritugaruriye ibyo uko ari irya kera bigomba kwemerwa nibura nk’ubuvumbuzi.’⁷⁹

(9) Imibare: Mu magambo ari hejuru aha, Ryrie aduhamagarira kwitondera akandi gakingirizo n’ubundi bwoko bw’ubutware bishobora guhindura ubusa ubutware bwa Bibiliya. Gasa n’agakingirizo k’iby’amateka. Kameze gatya :

Kuba igitekerezo ari icya kera ntibituma kiba ukuri gusa ahubwo umubare w’abantu bagishyigikiye kera cyangwa bagishyigikiye ubu ukigira ukuri. Iyo babaye benshi biba byiza kuko bigitera kuba ukuri gufatika.⁸⁰

Ryrie yerekana amakosa y’aka gakingirizo :

Birumvikana ko umwotsi ari wo uhishe aka gakingirizo kandi bijugunywe hejuru wayoyoka. Kuba ikintu cyarigishijwe mu kinyejana cya mbere si byo bikigira ukuri (keretse cyarigishijwe hakurikijwe Ibyanditswe), kandi kuba ikintu kitarigishijwe si byo bituma kitaba ukuri uretse, uko byumvikana, iyo nyigisho idakurikije Ibyanditswe. Ibyo guhindurwa bashya n’umubatizo byigishijwe mu binyejana bya mbere, ariko ni ibinyoma. Abenshi mu Itorero bizera umubatizo utari uw’amazi menshi. Ibi se bivuga ko amazi menshi ari ibinyoma? Abenshi mu itorero ntibemera ko Itorero rizazamurwa mbere y’Ubwami bwa Kristo bw’imyaka igihumbi. Ibi se bituma iyi nyigisho y’amahame itabayo? ⁸¹

(10) Amashyirahamwe y’abagira icyo bapfana: Iyi ngingo ni uko akenshi abantu bemera ibyo ababwiriza bakunda bavuze kurusha Ijambo ry’Imana ubwaryo. Luka atwibutsa ko icyo dukeneye ari ugushaka mu Byanditswe iminsi yose kugira ngo tumenye ko ibyo twigishwa ari iby’ukuri koko (Ibyakozwe 17:11).

1 Abakorinto 1:11-14 ‘Kuko, bene Data, nabwiw’ ibyanyu n’abo kwa Kilowe, yuko habonets’intonganya muri mwe. 12 Icyo mvuze ngiki, n’uk’umuntu wese muri mwe avug’ati: Jyeweho nd’uwa Pawulo, und’akavug’ati: Ariko jyeweho nd’uwa Apolo; undi naw’ati: jyeweho nd’uwa Kefa; und’ati: Jyeweho nd’uwa Kristo. 13 Mbese Kristo yagabanijwemw’ibice? Pawulo ni we wababambiwe? Cyangwa mwabatijwe mw’izina rya Pawulo? 14 Nshimir’Imana yukw’ari nta n’umwe nabatije muri mwe, keretse Krispo na Gayo;’

1 Abakorinto 3:1-9 ‘Bene Data, sinabashije kuvugana namwe nk’uvugana n’ab’umwuka, ahubwo navuganye namwe nk’uvugana n’aba kamere, cyangw’abana b’impinja bo muri Kristo. 2 Nabaramij’amata, sinabagaburiy’ibyo kurya bikomeye: kuko mwari mutarabibasha. Kandi na none ntimurabibasha, 3 kuko mukir’aba kamere. Ubwo muri mwe harimw’ishyari, n’amahane, mbese ntimubay’aba kamere koko, ntimugenza nk’abantu? 4 Ubw’umunt’umw’avug’ati: Jyeweho nd’uwa Pawulo; und’akavug’ati: Jyeweho nd’uwa Apolo; ntibigaragaza ko mur’aba kamere? 5 Mbese ye, Apolo n’iki? Kandi Pawulo n’iki? S’abagaragu batumye mwizera, nk’ukw’Imana yabahay’umurimo? 6 Ni jye watey’imbuto, Apolo na w’arazuhira, arikw’Imana ni yo yazikujije. 7 Nuk’utera, nta cy’ab’ari cyo, cyangw’uwuhira, kerets’Imana ikuza. 8 Utera n’uwuhira barahwanye, kand’umuntu wes’azahembwa nk’uko yakoz’umurimo we: 9 kuko twemb’Imana ari yo dukorera; namwe mukab’umurima w’Imana, n’inzu yayo.’

Ibi na byo bifata isura zitandukanye.

(1) Ibitekerezo cyangwa gusuzuma ibitekerezo: Ibi byerekeye:

Ihame rivuga ko gukoresha ibitekerezo, aho kwemera ibyasuzumwe, ubutware cyangwa guhishurwa kw’Umwuka, ni rwo rufatiro rwonyine rwemewe rw’igikorwa cyangwa ukwizera, kandi ibyo bitekerezo ni byo soko y’ibanze y’ubumenyi n’ukuri k’Umwuka.⁸²

Nk’uko bigaragarira muri ubu busobanuro, ibitekerezo by’umuntu bimuhindukira ibimutwara cyangwa ibiyobora ibyo yizera cyangwa atekereza. Ibitekerezo by’umuntu ni byo gipimo. Niba ukuri gushobora kubaho kugomba kubonerwa mu bitekerezo by’umuntu honyine; ukwizera kuvanwamo kuko nta wagutekerezaho cyangwa kuba iby’ubuhanga.

(2) Ibyasuzumwe: Iki ni igitekerezo cy’uko gusuzuma no kugerageza, cyane cyane kugerageza ibitekerezo, ni yo soko yonyine yemewe yo kumenya.

(3) Iby’ubuhanga n’iby’uko abantu batekereza (Psychologie): ‘Ibyo kugeragezanya ubuhanga ni:

..... inyigisho ya filozofiya ivuga ko ubumenyi bwose buturuka ku igeragezwa, byaba igeragezwa ry’ubwenge cyangwa ry’ibitekerezo. Bityo ivuguruza ibyo abizera ibitekerezo byonyine bizera ukubaho kw’ibitekerezo bivukanwa. Inyigisho y’amahame y’ibanze y’uburyo bwa gihanga, ibyo kugerageza bijyana n’ubuhanga mu kugerageza byadutse mu kinyejana cya 17. Byabaye umugenzo muri filozofiya y’Abongereza, nko mu byakozwe na LOCKE, HUME, na George BERKELEY. Abahanga hafi ya bose bashyigikiye ibyo kubanza kugerageza ibintu bemera impamo y’ukuri guherwaho mu kugerageza ibintu (amahame yo mu mibare), John Stuart MILL hamwe n’abandi bavuze ko ibi ari ibikorwa muri rusange bahereye ku igeragezwa.⁸³

Uko bigaragara, ibintu nk’ibi bituma igeragezwa riba, cyangwa ibyo umuntu yiga cyangwa abona - mu gukorakora ku kintu, mu gusogongera, mu kunukirwa, kureba n’ibindi, bituma igeregezwa riba icyo baheraho cyangwa ikiyobora ibyo umuntu yizera cyangwa yemera nk’ukuri. Na none, ibintu nk’ibi bitura k’uko umuntu yumva ibintu, gufite aho kugarukira, kandi guterwa n’ubushobozi bw’umuntu bwo kwitegereza. Ibi ni iby’inyigisho z’ubumenyi bw’imibanire y’abantu. Bifite umwanya wabyo mu bantu, ariko Imana ihoraho, y’ubwenge bwose kandi izi ibintu byose yaduhaye Ijambo ryayo Ryera kandi ni ryo rigomba gukomeza kutuyobora kuko ari ryo Imana ivugiramo.

(4) Ibyo umuntu aba yaranyuzemo by’idini, iby’ubwiru: Ubu ni uburyo buyobora abantu aho icyo umuntu aheraho ku byo yemera by’idini biba bishingiye ku kuntu abyumva gusa, amarangamutima, cyangwa se iby’idini umuntu aba yarahuye na byo.

Hashize imyaka myinshi igihe idini y’Abapentekoti yatangiraga ku nkombe y’uburengerazuba bw’Amerika umwe mu bayitangije, Padiri Dennis Bennett, yabwirije kuri Ezekiyeli 37 mu iteraniro ry’Ihuliro ry’Abacuruzi ry’Ubutumwa Bwiza Bwuzuye mu mugi witwa Portland, muri Leta ya Oregon muri Amerika. Yabwiye abantu ati, ‘hari ubusobanuro bwinshi kuri iki gice, ariko nizera ko iki gice ari ubuhanuzi by’iri shyirahamwe ryitwa glosalalia movement. Iri ni iyerekwa ryo kwaduka kw’impano y’indimi muri iyi minsi turimo. Ariko kubera ubusobanuro bwa Ezekiyeli 37 butandukanye ku bantu benshi; kubera ko nta mwumvikano ku cyo Ezekiyeli 37 isobanura, ngiye kubabwira ibyo niboneye maze tubone ikintu gifatika twashingiraho intekerezo zacu’.⁸⁴ (gutsindagira ayo magambo ni ukwanjye).

Ayo yari amagambo ya Bennett. Amagambo ye - uko ateye isoni kwose - ntabwo atangaje mu bihe turimo by’abavuga ko bakurikiza Ubutumwa Bwiza. Umuntu agira ibyo yabonye maze akirengagiza ibyo Ijambo ry’Imana rivuga, ibyo yabonye akaba ari byo aha ubutware bwo kumuyobora. Bajora ukuri cyangwa bagasobanura Bibiliya bakurikije Ijambo ry’Imana. Mwibuke amagambo ya Petero muri 2 Petero 1:16-19.

2 Petero 1:16-19 ‘Burya ntitwakurikij’imigani yahimbwe n’ubwenge, ubwo twabamenyeshag’imbaraga z’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo no kuzaza kwe; ahubwo twiboneye n’amaso yac’icyubahiro cye gikomeye. 17 Kuko yahawe n’Imana Data wa twes’ishimwe n’icyubahiro, ubw’ijwi ryavugiraga mu bwiza bukomeye cyane, rimubwira riti: Nguy’Umwana wanjye nkunda nkamwishimira. 18 Iryo jwi twaryumvise rivugira mu ijuru, ubwo twari kumwe na we kuri wa musozi wera. 19 Nyamara rero dufite Ijambo ryahanuwe, rirushaho gukomera, kandi muzaba mukoze neza ni muryitaho, kuko rimeze nk’itabaza rimurikir’ahacuz’ umwijima, rigakesh’ijoro, rikageza ahw’inyenyeri yo mu ruturuturu izabandurira mu mitima yanyu.’

(5) Ibyo umuntu yabonye mu bikorwa: Abantu benshi muri ibi bihe bishingikiriza ku byo batekereza ko bigishijwe n’ibyo babonye mu bikorwa aho kwishingikiriza kuri Bibiliya. None byagenda bite niba ibyo umuntu azi yabonye binyuranye n’Ibyanditswe! Bamwe bashyira hejuru ibyo babonye bakabinganyisha n’Ibyanditswe cyangwa ndetse bakabishyira hejuru y’Ibyanditswe. Niba ukurikiza inyigisho y’Ibyanditswe mu kurera abana bawe hanyuma umwe akakugomera, mbese ugeraho ukava mu buyobozi bw’Ibyanditswe ugakurikiza intekerezo zikomeye zo mu isi ya none? Cyangwa se, mu kwemera kamere idakuka y’Ibyanditswe byahumetswe n’Imana, usuzuma ugusobanukirwa no gushyira Bibiliya mu bikorwa kwawe ku byerekeye uko urera abana, cyangwa ushaka kandi ugasuzuma ibindi bintu bigiramo uruhare? Mbese ikibazo kiri ku Byanditswe cyangwa ku gusobanukirwa kwanjye n’uko Ibyanditswe bishyirwa mu bikorwa?

(6) Ibyo umuntu w’imbere: Aha na none, ubutware si ubwa Bibiliya ahubwo ni ubw’uko ibintu bimeze. Muri ubu buryo ubutware cyangwa icyo bashingiraho ni uko tugomba gukora ikintu dukunda kurusha ibindi. Ariko se icyo ni iki? Muri ubu buryo, nta kituyobora kidasubirwaho ku cyo dukunda, ni ibitekerezo bigufi ndetse akenshi kwikunda kw’umuntu gusa.

Twagombye kuyibonana urukundo, agaciro, n’icyubahiro

Twagombye kurebana Bibiliya urukundo, agaciro, n’icyubahiro bijyana ku kwifuza n’umuhati wo kuyimenya no kuyishyira mu bikorwa.

Zaburi 119:72 ‘Amategeko yo mu kanwa kawe ni ay’igiciro kuri jye kiruta icy’ibihe ibihumbi by’ifeza n’izahabu.’

Zaburi 119:140 ‘Ijambo ryawe ryaravugutiwe cyane; Ni cyo gitum’umugaragu wawe ndikunda.’

Yesaya 66:2 “Kuko ibyo byose ukuboko kwanjye ari ko kwabiremye, bikabaho byose, ni ko Uwiteka avuga; ariko uwo nitaho ni umukene ufite umutima umenetse, agahindishwa umushitsi n’Ijambo ryanjye.”

2 Timoteyo 2:15 ‘Ujy’ugir’umwete wo kwishyir’Imana nk’ushimwa, umukozi udakwiriye kugir’ipfunwe, ukwiriranya nez’Ijambo ry’ukuri.’

Amahame mu gukoresha Bibiliya

Umuntu akeneye kubyarwa bundi bushya

Abantu bakeneye guhindurwa bashya mu by’Umwuka kugira ngo basobanukirwe kandi bagirane ubumwe n’ukuri k’Umwuka kw’Ibyanditswe. 1 Abakorinto 2:14 havuga ko umuntu wa kamere (ni ukuvuga utarahindurwa mushya) adashobora kwemera (kwakira) iby’Umwuka w’Imana; kuko ari ubupfu kuri we, kandi akaba atabasha kubimenya, kuko bisobanurwa mu buryo bw’Umwuka.

Gusobanukirwa ukuri kw’Ijambo ry’Imana mu by’Umwuka bisaba umurimo wo kumurikirwa n’Umwuka Wera. Mbere y’agakiza, Umwuka w’Imana akorera gushoboza utizera gusobanukirwa iby’agakiza no kuzana abantu ku kwizera Kristo.

Yohana 16:8-11 ‘Ubw’azaza, azatsind’ab’isi, abemez’iby’icyaha n’ibyo gukiranuka, n’iby’amateka; 9 iby’icyaha, kuko batanyizeye; 10 n’ibyo gukiranuka, kuko njya kwa Data, kandi namwe muzaba mutakimbona: 11 n’iby’amateka, kuk’umutware w’ab’iyi si aciriwehw’iteka.’

2 Abatesalonike 2:13-14 ‘Kukw’Adamu ariwe wabanje kuremwa, nyuma hagakurikiraho Eva. 14 Kandi Adamu si we wayobejwe, ahubw’umugore ni we wayobejwe rwose ahinduk’umunyabicumuro.’

Mbere y’agakiza, icyakora, n’ubushobozi bushya mu by’Umwuka agakiza gatanga, umuntu udakijijwe ntashobora gufungura Bibiliya ngo asobanukirwe kandi yumve n’ukuri na guke. Ku muntu udakijijwe, ni ubupfu. Ibi ntibivuga ko udakijijwe adashobora kukoresha Bibiliya mu buryo bw’ibyo kwitwara neza nk’amategeko y’uko abantu bakwiye kwitwara. Abenshi bakora ibi. Bakoresha ibice bimwe byo muri Bibiliya nk’Amategeko Icumi cyangwa amategeko Yesu yavugiye ku musozi kugira ngo berekane gukiranuka kwabo cyangwa ngo bumve bahagaze badatsinzwe imbere y’Imana, ariko babura ukuri nk’umuntu wayobye no gukiranuka kuzanwa no kwizera Imana konyine. Abafarisayo bakoraga ibi neza neza. Bari abayobozi bahumirije bayobora impumyi kandi ntibari basobanukiwe ukuri kw’Ibyanditswe n’uko bari bakeneye Umucunguzi ubabazwa.

Matayo 15:12-13 ‘Maz’abigishwa baramwegera baramubaza bati: Uzi yuko Abafarisayo barakajwe no kumv’ayo magambo? 13 Arabasubiz’ati: igiti cyose Data wo mw’ijur’adateye kizarandurwa.’

Abaroma 10:1-4 ‘Bene Data, iby’umutima wanjye wifuza, ni byo nsabir’Abisirayeli ku Mana, no kugira ngo bakizwe. 2 Ndabahamya yuko bafit’ishyaka ry’Imana, ariko ritava mu bwenge; kuk’ubwo bari batazi gukiranuka kw’Imana ukw’ari ko, bagerageje kwihangira gukiranuka kwab’ubwabo bituma basuzugura gukiranuka kw’Imana: 4 kuko Kristo ari w’amategekw’asohoraho, kandi ni w’uhesh’uwizera wese gukiranuka.’

Yohana 16:8-11 ‘Ubw’azaza, azatsind’ab’isi, abemez’iby’icyaha n’ibyo gukiranuka, n’iby’amateka; 9 iby’icyaha, kuko batanyizeye; 10 n’ibyo gukiranuka, kuko njya kwa Data, kandi namwe muzaba mutakimbona: 11 n’iby’amateka, kuk’umutware w’ab’iyi si aciriwehw’iteka.’

Yohani 16:8-11 hatwigisha ko umurimo w’Umwuka wo kumurikira utizera ugenewe mbere na mbere kuneshesha ubuhumyi bw’umuntu utarahindurwa ku kuri kwa ngombwa kw’agakiza kazanwa no kwizera Kristo n’umurimo We. Iyo umuntu yiringiye Kristo, icyakora, ahindurwa mushya, agahabwa ubugingo bushya, maze ubuhumyi bw’Umwuka bavukanye bukavanwaho. Ibi bisa n’aho ari byo intumwa Pawulo yari afite ku mutima mu Befeso 1:17-18,

‘Kugira ngw’Imana y’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, ariyo Data wa twese w’icyubahiro ibah’Umwuka w’ubwenge no guhishurirwa bitume muyimenya; 18 ngw’amaso y’imitima yany’abon’ukw’ahweza, mumeny’ibyo mwiringizwa n’Iyabahamagaye; mumenye n’ubutunzi bw’ubgiza bw’iby’azarag’abera;’

Mu murongo wa 17, Pawulo asabira abizera b’Abefeso kugira umutima w’ubwenge no guhishurwa mu kumenya Umwami. Umurongo wa 18 uduha (a) impamvu itera Pawulo gusabira gusobanukirwa kwabo, “ngo amaso y’imitima yabo abone uko ahweza binyuze mu guhindurwa mu by’Umwuka kugira ngo bamenye kandi basobanukirwe neza ukuri kw’Imana,” cyangwa (b) Pawulo yavugaga ku ngaruka z’isengesho rye ryo mu murongo wa 17 – “imitima ihwejeshejwe ngo ishobore gusobanukirwa.” Mu buryo bwombi yabasabiye kubera ko ari ibyaremwe mu Mwuka bishya muri Kristo (2 Abakorinto 5:17) bishobora gusobanukirwa ukuri k’Umwuka. Iki gice mu Kigiriki cyanditswe gitya, “amaso y’imitima yanyu ahwejeshejwe, kugira ngo mubashe kumenya ...” ‘Ahwejeshejwe’ byerekana igikorwa cyarangiye mu gihe cyashize gifite ingaruka mu gihe cy’ubu. Ikigiriki aha cyibanda ku kurangira kw’igikorwa, ku ngaruka, cyangwa byombi. Mu gitekerezo cya mbere cyavuzwe haruguru aha, icyibandwaho ni uguhindurwa mushya mu by’Umwuka, mu gitekerezo cya kabiri, icyibandwaho ni ingaruka intumwa Pawulo yavuzeho mu isengesho zitaraba.

Umuntu akeneye kuba mu bumwe

Umwuka w’Ukuri ni inyito yihariye y’Umwuka ku bw’umurimo We wo kutwigisha Ijambo ry’Ukuri (Yohana 4:24; 15:5; 1 Abakorinto 2:15-3:3; Abefeso 3:16-19).

Kumurika k’Umwuka mu Ijambo ry’Ukuri ni umurimo w’Umwuka w’Ukuri iteka. Umwizera wabyawe ubwa kabiri, n’ubwo ubu ari muzima mu buryo bw’Umwuka, kandi akaba afite ubushobozi bw’Umwuka bushya, aracyakeneye kuyoborwa n’Umwuka niba agomba kugira umurimo wo kwigisha w’Umwuka. Abigishwa bari abantu bahinduwe bashya, ariko bari bagikeneye umurimo wo guturwamo n’uwo kuyoborwa n’Umwuka. Kristo yarababwiye ati, “Ndacyafite ibyo kubabwira byinshi, ariko ubu ntimubasha kubyihanganira.” Uwo Mwuka w’Ukuri naza azabayobora mu kuri kwose: kuko atazavuga ku bwe, ahubwo ibyo azumva ni ibyo azavuga: kandi azababwira ibyenda kubaho’ (Yohana 16:12-13).

Gereranya na none amagambo ya Pawulo n’ibyo Abefeso b’abizera mu Befeso 3:16-19 :

‘Ngo abahe, nkuko ubutunzi bw’ubwiza bwe buri, gukomezwa cyane mu mitima yanyu kubw’Umwuka we; 17 kandi ngo Kristo ahore mu mitima yanyu kubwo kwizera, kugira ngo, ubwo mumaze gushorera imizi mu rukundo, mukaba mushikamye, 18 ngo muhabw’imbaraga no kumenyera hamwe n’abera bos’ubugari n’uburebure bw’umurambararo, n’uburebure bw’igihagararo, n’uburebure bw’ikijyepfo ubw’ari bwo, 19 mumenye n’urukundo rwa Kristo rurut’uko rumenywa ngo mwuzuzwe kugeza ku kwuzura kw’Imana.’

Kubera ko icyaha kizwi no kutagira icyo umuntu yitaho mu by’Umwuka biteza agahinda Umwuka kandi bikazimya imbaraga Ze, biragaragara ko umukristo wa kamere (uwo muri we Umwuka aba atejwe agahinda kandi azimijwe) adashobora gusobanukirwa ibikomeye byo mu Ijambo ry’Imana cyangwa ngo agire ukuri na kumwe ko mu Ijambo abona muri twe. ‘Ubujiji butangaje bw’abakristo benshi bwerekeye ku bintu byo mu Ijambo ry’Imana buterwa na kamere yabo no kudashaka imigisha y’ubugingo bwuzuye Umwuka.’⁸⁵

Intumwa Pawulo n’umwanditsi w’Abaheburayo banditse kuri ibi (1 Abakorinto 2:14-3:3; Abaheburayo 5:11-14).

Umuntu akeneye gusoma, kwiga no gutekereza hamwe n’imyifatire ikwiriye

(1) Dukeneye kuba abategereza

Zaburi 119:148 ‘Amaso yanjy’abanziriz’ibicuku, Kugira ngo nibwir’Ijambo ryawe.’

(2) Dukeneye kuba abigishwa

Zaburi 119:33 ‘Uwiteka, ujy’unyigish’inzira y’amategeko wandikishije: kugira ngo nyitondere kugeza ku mperuka.’

Ibyakozwe 17:11 ‘Arikw’abo bo bari beza kurut’ab’i Tesalonike, kuko bakiranye Ijambo ry’Imana umutima ukunze, bashaka mu Byanditswe iminsi yose, kugira ngo bamenye yuko ibyo bababwiye ar’iby’ukuri koko.’

(3) Dukeneye kuba abanyamasengesho kandi bishingikiriza ku Mana

Zaburi 119:18 ‘Hwejesh’amaso yanjye, Kugira ngo ndeb’ibitangaza byo mu mategeko yawe.’

(4) Dukeneye kuba abizera

Abaheburayo 11:3 ‘Kwizera ni kwo kutumenyesha yuko isi yaremwe n’Ijambo ry’Imana, ni cyo cyatumy’ibiboneka bitaremwa mu bigaragara.’

Umuntu akeneye gufata Ijambo ry’Imana uko bikwiriye

Nk’abahanga mu gufata Ijambo ry’Imana uko bikwiye, dukeneye kugira uburyo bwo kwiga no gusobanura budushoboza gukura mu byo dusomye uko bivuga nyakuri. Ibi bishobora gukenera uburyo butuma Ibyanditswe bigira ubutware kandi tukareka akaba ari byo bivuga ubwabyo.

2 Timoteyo 2:15 “Ujye ugira umwete wo kwishyira Imana nk’ushimwa, umukozi udakwiriye kugira ipfunwe, ukwiriranya neza Ijambo ry’ukuri.”

2 Petero 3: 16 ‘Ndetse no mu nzandiko ze zose yavuze ibyerekeye ibyo: icyakora zirimo bimwe biruhije gusobanukirwa, iby’abaswa bahindagurika bagoreka, nk’uko bagir’Ibyanditswe bindi bakizanira kurimbuka.’

Dukunda gusoma ibyo twitekerereza n’ibyo twibwira mu Byanditswe. Ibi bivuga ko dukeneye kwiga Bibiliya, dutekereza duhereye ku cyihariye, amagambo arambuye yo mu gice dusoma, tukagera ku bya rusange, bihuje n’ubusobanuro bw’icyo gice.

Mu busobanuro duha Ibyanditswe tugomba kubonamo icyo igice kivuga, si ukugihimbira. Luteri yaranditse ati, ‘Umwigisha mwiza si uha ubusobanuro Ibyanditswe, ahubwo ni ubukura mu Byanditswe. Gusobanura ni ukuzana hejuru ubusobanuro bw’igice; gusobanura nabi ni ugusoma ibyo twitekerereza muri icyo gice. Gusobanura duhereye ku cyihariye ni ukureka Ibyanditswe bikivugira ubwabyo.⁸⁶

Uburyo buteza imbere ibyo gusobanura duhereye ku cyihariye cyangwa ubusobanuro bwiza ni bwo busobanuro bukwiriye. Dukeneye mu masengesho no kwishingikiriza Imana gusuzuma no kwitegereza igice muri buri kantu, mu bivugwa, iby’umuco n’amateka, ubusobanuro busanzwe bw’amagambo, ikibonezamvugo, n’injyana ya Bibiliya, hanyuma duhereye kuri buri kantu twabonye, tugashaka mu masengesho gusobanura igice nk’uko ubusobanuro bwacyo buri. Hamwe n’ubwo busobanuro mu mutima, dushobora noneho gushyiraho amahame ashingiye kuri Bibiliya (reba amashusho aho iri somo rirangiriye).

Umuntu akeneye kwiga Bibiliya afite igitekerezo cyo kuyishyira mu bikorwa no kuyishyira mu mibereho ye

Guhishurwa kw’Ijambo ry’Imana gukeneye igisubizo cyo gufata ko imico yaryo ari iy’Ijambo Ryera ry’Imana ku muntu. Intego yo kwiga Bibiliya yose igomba iteka kuba gushyira mu bikorwa twitonze ukuri kw’Imana kubwo kwizera, ni ukuvuga kwumva by’ukuri ijwi ry’Imana mu Byanditswe. Gukura gukomera mu by’Umwuka - intego nyakuri yo kumenya Ukuri kw’Imana - ntibishoboka tudashyize Bibiliya mu bikorwa no mu bugingo bwacu ngo dukomeze ubucuti bwacu n’Imana, tugire kwiyemeza aho biri ngomwa, duteze imbere kwizera no kwumvira kuzanwa no kwizera kandi twerekane mu bugingo bwacu imico ya Kristo (reba 2 Timoteyo 3:16-17; Abakolosayi 1:9-12; Lika 8:21; 11:28).

Imigani 20:27 ‘Umwuka w’umuntu n’urumuri yahawe n’Uwiteka; rusesengur’ibihishwe mu mutima.’

Zaburi 139:23-24 ‘Mana, ndondora, umeny’umutima wanjye: Mvugutira, umeny’ibyo ntekereza: 24 Urebe yuko harihw’inzira y’ibibi indimo, unshorerere mu nzira y’iteka ryose.’

Zaburi 119:59 ‘Njya ntekerez’inzira zanjye, ngahindurir’ibirenge byanjye ku byo wahamije.’

Yakobo 1:22-27 ‘Ariko rero mujye mukor’iby’iryo Jambo atar’ ugupfa kuryumva gusa, mwishuka; 23 kuk’ uwumv’ Ijambo gusa, ntakor’ ibyaryo, ameze nk’ umuntu urebeye mu maso he mu ndorerwamo. 24 Amaze kwireba, akagenda, uwo mwanya akiyibagirwa ukwasa. 25 Arik’ uwitegereza mu mategekw’atunganye rwose ater’umudendezo, agakomeza kugir’umwete wayo, atar’uwumva gus’akibagirwa, ahubw’ariyumvira, niw’uzahabw’umugisha muby’akora. 26 Umuntu ni yibwira kw’ar’umunyadini, ntageng’ururimi rwe, ahubw’akishuka mu mutima, idini ry’uwo muntu riba ar’ubusa. 27 Idini ritunganye kandi ritanduy’imbere y’Imana Data wa twese ni iri: ni ugusur’imfubyi n’abapfakazi mu mibabaro yabo, no kwirinda kutanduzwa n’iby’isi’.

Tugomba kwibuka iteka ko intego yacu mu kwiga Ibyanditswe ari ukubishyira mu bikorwa twumvira Imana nzima, icyakora, ariko aha hari ibigomba kwitonderwa. Zuck, ufite igice cyiza cyane ku byo gushyira Ijambo ry’Imana mu bikorwa ubu, yaranditse ati:

Abakristo bakunda gukora ikosa rimwe cyangwa abiri mu gushyira Bibiliya mu bikorwa. Rimwe bayitaho buke cyane, ubundi bakayitaho bikabije.

Mu ikosa rya mbere bamwe bakeka ko ubusobanuro buhagije, ko kwiga Bibiliya biba byuzuye iyo igice cyasobanuwe. Mu ikosa rya kabiri, abandi basa n’abashaka kuyishyira mu bikorwa batarayisobanukirwa neza kandi byuzuye. Koko rero, kuyishyira mu bikorwa tutarayisobanukirwa bidutera kubikora uko bidakwiriye.

Kwirengagiza gushyira mu bikorwa Ibyanditswe bituma Bibiliya nk’isomo ryo mu ishuri riba rikeneye gusobanurwa gusa nta kwita cyangwa tukita buke ku kamaro n’ingaruka igira ku bugingo bwacu. Ni amakosa gufata Ibyanditswe nk’igitabo kivamo amakuru gusa, nk’igitabo tugomba kureba gusa kubera ubumenyi tuba dukeneye kuvanamo.⁸⁷

Ibyiyongera ku kumenya Imana bya gicuti no kuyikunda kurushaho, ntitukibagirwe ko indi ntego y’ingenzi yo kwiga Ijambo ryahumetswe ry’Imana, nk’uko Pawulo abidushishikariza muri 2 Timoteyo 3:16-17, ari ukuba abantu b’Imana bashyitse, bafite ibibakwiriye byose, ngo bakore imirimo myiza yose. Nk’ubwoko bwite bw’Imana, tugomba kuba abantu bagira ishyaka ry’imirimo myiza (Tito 2:14).

Mu gihe amasomo yo mu ishuri ari ingenzi mu kwiga neza Ijambo ry’Imana, ni na none igikorwa cy’Umwuka, kubera ko Umwuka w’Ukuri ari We Mwigisha wacu w’ibanze utwemeza kandi akadushoboza guhuza ubugingo bwacu n’ukuri kw’Ibyanditswe. Ku bitekerezo bimwe mu gutegura umutima kumva Ijambo ry’Imana reba Umugereka wa 3.

Imana ibahe imigisha mu nyigisho yanyu y’Ijambo ryayo ryera cyane kandi ry’imbaraga.

‘Kandi none mbaragij’Imana n’Ijambo ry’ubuntu bwayo ribasha kububaka no kubahan’ibiragwa n’abejejwe bose.’(Ibyakozwe 20:32)

Amahame yo gusenga aboneka muri Luka 11

Intangiriro

Ni ukuri kuvuga ngo, ‘Ibanga ryo kuneshwa kwose ni ukuneshwa kugira amasengesho mu ibanga’. Si ukuneshwa gusenga gusa, ni ukuneshwa mu masengesho. Mu mugani w’umufarisayo n’umukoresha w’ikoro, umufarisayo ni we wasenze igihe kirekire kandi kenshi, ariko amasengesho ye yari ubupfu. Amasengesho ye ntiyumviswe n’Imana kubera ko ari we, ari n’amasengesho ye, nta cyari gitunganiye Imana.

Ndakeka ko ari Oswald Smith wavuze ngo, ‘iyo dukora, ni twe dukora, iyo dusenze, Imana niyo ikora.’ Mu mateka, abagabo n’abagore Imana yakoresheje mu buryo bukomeye bari abantu bari bazi gusenga kandi kuri bo amasengesho yari ay’ibanze n’aya ngombwa. Uko twiga Ubutumwa Bwiza n’uko Umwami yigishije abigishwa be, dusanga ko amasengesho agomba kuba igice cy’ingenzi mu bugingo bw’umwigishwa. Kubw’ingero nyinshi gereranya imirongo ikurikira :

Yohana 14:12-13 ‘N’ukuri n’ukuri ndababwira y’uk’unyizera, imirimo nkora naw’azayikora: ndets’azakora n’iyiruta, kuko njya kwa Data. 13 Kand’icyo muzasaba cyose mw’izina ryanjye, nzagikorera kugira ngo Data yubahirizwe mu Mwana we.’

Yohana 15:7 ‘Nimuguma muri jye, amagambo yanjy’akaguma muri mwe, musabe icyo mushaka cyose, muzagihabwa.’

Concordance (iki ni igitabo gifasha umuntu mu gushaka imirongo yo muri Bibiliya iyo uzi nibura ijambo rimwe muri uwo murongo) yo muri orudinateri yerekana bwangu akamaro ko gusenga mu Ijambo ry’Imana. Muri concordance y’Icyongereza rero ijambo ‘gusenga’ n’andi ayishamikiyeho nka ‘amasengesho’ no ‘gusenga’ n’andi, aboneka inshuro 331 muri Bibiliya yitwa NASB; inshuro 545 muri KJV; n’inshuro 375 muri NIV. Impamvu iyi mibare itandukanye biterwa n’uko amagambo amwe y’Igiheburayo n’ay’Ikigiriki asobanurwa mu buryo butandukanye muri izo Bibiliya uko zitandukanye. Urugero, KJV ishobora gukoresha ijambo ‘gusenga’ aho NASB cyangwa NIV bikoresha ‘gusaba’.

Abakristo benshi bizera Bibiliya bemera nibura mu buryo by’ubuhanga, umumaro w’amasengesho. Dusoma ibitabo bivuga ku masengesho, tuyavugaho, rimwe na rimwe dusaba ko abantu badusengera ariko mu buryo bumwe cyangwa ubundi, itorero ry’uyu munsi si itorero risenga. Dushobora kugira abantu bake barwana intambara yo gusenga, ariko INTEGO n’UMUCO wo gusenga uko Bibiliya ibyigisha nk’abigishwa bihaye Umwami Yesu byananiye umubiri wa Kristo (itorero). Tuvuga ku by’uko ari ngombwa, ariko akenshi tunanirwa gusohoza ukuri kwayo.

Abigishwa bagize ibihe nk’ibi. Nabo bananiwe ubugingo bw’amasengesho kandi barabyumvise. Muri iri somo, turashaka kureba kuri Luka 11:1 no gusenga kw’umwigishwa utaravuzwe izina, ahari wasengeraga abandi bose. Iki ni igice cy’ingenzi mu kwiga iby’ingenzi bifite akamaro cyane mu mibereho yacu hamwe n’Umwami no gusohoza imigambi Ye.

Gusaba k’umwigiha (11:1)

Luka 11:1 ‘Nukw’ar’ahantu hamwe, asenga; arangije, umwe mu bigishwa be aramubwir’ati: Data-buja, twigishe gusenga, nk’uko Yohana yigishij’abigishwa be.’

Icyamuteye gusaba

Nta gushidikanya abigishwa bari barumvise ko Yohana yigishije abigishwa be gusenga n’abo Yesu rero nabo bashakaga guhabwa amabwiriza kuri byo (11:1). Ariko se aho ntihari ikindi kintu kirenze ibyo, ikintu gikomeye cyateye uku gusaba? Howard Hendricks, imyaka myinshi yashize mu butumwa yagejeje ku giterane cy’abapastoro, yaduhamagariye kwita ku cy’uko dufunguye Bibiliya zacu tugasoma duhereye kuri Matayo tukageza kuri Yohana nta hantu na hamwe dusanga abigishwa basaba ngo, ‘Mwami twigishe gutanga ubuhamya’, cyangwa ngo ‘twigishe gukora ibitangaza’, cyangwa ngo ‘twigishe uko dukwiriye kwigisha’. Ariko muri iki gice, tubona umwe mu bigishwa asaba ngo, ‘Mwami, twigishe gusenga ...’. Yoo! Mbega ukuntu ari ingirakamaro!

Iki cyari ikibazo cy’ubwenge; ikibazo cyari gikenewe cyane, kandi giturutse mu bigishwa batakundaga kwitabira iby’ingenzi by’Umwuka, iki kibazo cyaba icy’ingirakamaro cyane. Ni iki cyamuteye kubaza iki kibazo kandi ni kuki ari icy’ingenzi ako kageni?

Na none, nibutse ikintu Umwigisha wa Kaminuza Howard Hendricks yigeze kuvuga. Mbese ujya utekereza uburyo ubugingo bwa Kristo bwari buri mu gihe cy’umurimo We ku isi? Igitangaza ku kindi’ Iteka yari isoko y’ibyishimo no gutangarirwa, kandi ndahamya ko abantu bagerageza iteka kumusobanurira ukuntu bashimishwa n’ibisubizo byabo ubwabo (reba Mariko 4:41).

Ndibaza ko igihe kirekire cyane bagerageje kwibaza kuri Kristo n’ubusobanuro bw’abana b’abantu - ukwigishwa, igipimo cy’ubwenge, ububasha kamere, n’ibindi. Nibura mu bihe bya mbere. Babonaga iteka iby’imbaraga Ze. Bumvaga amagambo Ye arimo ubwenge, kandi babonaga imirimo itangaza Ye. Babonye ibirema bigenda, impumyi zirabona, abarwayi barakizwa, ibipfamatwi birumva, n’abadayimoni bava mu bo bari barateye. Byongeye, bose bari barabonye ko idini y’icyo gihe ntacyo yari ishoboye maze bityo, kubera ibyo byose, urumva ko barebaga Umwami bagashaka ibisubizo ku bitangaza byo mu bugingo bwe.

Uko bigaga ku bugingo bwe umwe mu myanzuro yabo wabaye ko yari Imana yigize umuntu (Yohana 1:14). Ariko se uyu mwanzuro ni wo wateye kubaza iki kibazo? Simbihamya ntyo. Ni ikindi kintu babonye iteka ku muntu Yesu cyabateye gutangira gutekereza ko ari igice ku gisubizo cy’iby’ubugingo Bwe. Icyo ni iki? Igisubizo cyacu, birumvikana, ‘Yari amasengesho’. Si byo? Si ibyo gusa! Ntiyari amasengesho gusa.

Abafarisayo barasengaga kandi n’abigishwa ni uko. Ntiyari amasengesho gusa; bwari uburyo yasengagamo hamwe n’uwo yari We n’ibyo yakoraga byose mu bugingo bwe ku isi. Byari uburyo n’imyifatire bye mu masengesho byuzuraga We ubwe n’ubugingo Bwe, buri ntambwe n’igikorwa bye, kandi ibyo byerekaganaga ubucuti magara n’ubumwe no kugirwa n’Inama Bye. Amasengesho ntiyari na mba inshingano y’idini cyangwa igikorwa Kristo yakoraga kuko yari agitegetswe.

None ni iki? Amasengesho y’Umwami wacu yavaga kuri iyo myifatire y’ibanze yo kugirwa n’Imana, kwishigikiriza ku Mana yateraga ubumwe bukomeye yahoranaga na Se kubera ko, ushingiye ku by’uko yari umuntu, yemeraga ko atabashaga kugira icyo akora kubw’imbaraga ze. Nta gushidikanya iki ni cyo cyemeje kandi cyatumaga abigishwa be bamutegereza. Baje kwemera ko, nubwo babashaga kwizera Umwami, ntibashoboraga kuba abigishwa nyakuri bagombaga guhinduka bagasa n’umwigisha wabo (Luka 6:40) batize gusenga Data wa twese nk’uko Umwami Yesu mu bumwe bukomeye no kwishingikiriza kuri Se yabyerekanaga iteka.

Imyifatire ya Kristo mu masengesho

Aha harimo rimwe mu mahame y’ibanze yagenga ubugingo bw’Umukiza. Muri Yohana 5:19 Kristo yaravuze ati, ‘ntacyo Umwana abasha gukora ubwe’. Hanyuma, muri Yohana 8:28-29 na 14:10 yasubiyemo iri hame. Iri hame ryagombye kumvikana kuri twe. Kuri Yesu Kristo, amasengesho bwari uburyo bwo kubaho, ikintu cya ngombwa rwose: bwari uburyo bwo kugirana ubumwe na Se n’uburyo bwo kuzana imbaraga z’Imana Se kuza mu bumuntu bwa Yesu Kristo umwanya ku wundi. Tubona ibi muri Matayo 12:18 na 28.

Reba uburyo akenshi, bigaragara ko Umwami yakoraga imirimo Ye kandi akavuga amagambo Ye mu mbaraga z’Imana Se kubw’imbaraga z’Umwuka Wera uwo Se yari yaramuhaye. Nubwo yari Imana nya Mana ubwe, Yesu ntiyakoraga imirimo Ye atari kumwe na Se n’ubuyobozi bw’Umwuka (Ibyakozwe 2:22). Ni Se wakoraga muri Yesu, umuntu.

Uko twiga ku bugingo bwa Kristo mu Butumwa Bwiza, tubona ibintu bisa iteka:

(1) Muri gahunda ndede, igihe abantu basabaga ko ibyo bakeneye abyitaho, Kristo yaritaruraga akajya gusenga kugira ngo azane imbaraga z’Imana Se kuri We kubera ko yari azi ko, ‘ntacyo umwana abasha gukora ku bwe’ (Mariko 1:32-37).

(2) Igihe cyo guhitamo abigishwa be ntitubona Kristo areba ibiranga buri muntu. Ahubwo tumubona yitarura ajya gusenga. Ibi biragaragara cyane muri Mariko 3:13 na Luka 6:12-13. Kuki? Kubera ko ‘ntacyo umwana abasha gukora ku bwe’. Yari akeneye ubuyobozi n’imbaraga bya Se.

(3) Igihe Yesu yari ahagaze iruhande rw’imva ya Lazaro yuburuye amaso mu ijuru ategereje ibyo Imana yari igiye gukora (Yohana 11:40-42). Isengesho yavuze aha ntirivugwa, gusa kuba ategereza, ashima, yiringiye ko amasengesho ye yumviswe. Amagambo yo mu mirongo ya 41 na 42 yerekana icyakora, ko atasenze Se gusa, ahubwo yashakaga ko abari bamuri iruhande bose babimenya nabo kugira ngo bige ibanga ryo kwishingikiriza ku Mana. Ibi bitwigisha ko igihe yakoraga ibitangaza nubwo abantu bamurwanyaga, Yesu umwana w’umuntu yasengaga yishingikirije Se kubw’uko yari mu mubiri.

(4) Igihe ahaza abantu 5,000. Amagambo ‘arararama areba mu ijuru’ yerekana uburyo Umwami yishingikirizaga ku Mana mu masengesho (Mariko 6:41). Ariko ‘Abiha umugisha’ byerekana gushimira Imana Se kubw’ibyo no kubw’ibyo Se yari agiye gukorera muri Yesu, umuntu, wishingikiriza ku Mana, umuntu ushimwa n’Imana.

Tekereza kuri Yesu Kristo. Yari Umwana w’Imana, Imana yigize umuntu, umuntu utunganye kandi Imana Umuremyi rwose, We nk’Imana-Muntu usohoza neza kandi mu buryo bwemewe icyo Imana itegereza ku muntu cyose. Yari ibyishimo n’umunezero by’umutima wa Se. Yashimishaga Se iteka. Nuko, ubwo tumutekereza dutyo, twibaze iki kibazo. Mbese ni iki We ku giti cye, nk’umuntu, yagizemo uruhare mu bikorwa bye bikomeye, n’umurimo we? NTACYO! Kristo ubwe aduha igisubizo, ‘...Data, uguma muri jye, ni We ukora imirimo Ye’ (Yohana 14:10). None yabigezeho ate? Ni kubw’amasengesho yishingikiriza kuri Se!

Iyo dukora, ni twe dukora. Iyo dusenga, Imana ni Yo ikora. Bityo rero kubw’uku kumenya iteka ko dukennye, haturuka imyifatire ihoraho y’amasengesho: gutegereza iteka Umwami Yesu ko niba hari ikigomba gukorwa, Data wa twese ni We ugomba kugikora kubw’ubwende, ubwenge, n’imbaraga bye. Niba ibi byari ukuri kuri Yesu Kristo, mbega ukuntu bigomba kuba ukuri kuri twe? Ni iby’ukuri, amasengesho akurikije urugero rw’Umwami Yesu agomba intego y’ingenzi y’abigishwa nyakuri.

Abigishwa babonye ubugingo bwa Kristo, si amasengesho gusa, ariko ubugingo bw’amasengesho yerekana kwishingikiriza ku bumwe n’Imana atari ikindi kintu cyose bari barabonye kandi bashakaga kumenya ibanga ry’ibi.

Ni iki umwigishwa utaravuzwe izina yasabye? Yasabye ngo, ‘twigishe gusenga’. Si uko bagombaga gusenga gusa, UBURYO, ahubwo ni uko bagombaga gusenga mu buryo bw’IKIBITERA. Ukuntu bagomba gusenga Kristo yabivuze mu gisubizo yatanze muri Luka 11:2-13.

(1) Amasengesho yagombye kwerekana ko twumva neza ibyo dukeneye, kumenya ko tudakwiriye no kumenya ko Imana ari Yo ikwiriye kandi ifite ubushake.

2 Abakorinto 2:16 ‘Kuri bamwe tur’impumuro y’urupf’izan’urupfu, ariko ku bandi tur’impumuro y’ubugingw’izan’ubugingo. Kand’ibyo nind’ubikwiriye?’

2 Abakorinto 3:5 ‘S’uko twihagij’ubwacu, ngo dutekerez’ikintu cyose nk’ahw’ari twe cyaturutseho, ahubwo tubashishwa n’Imana,’

(2) Amasengesho si ayo kunesha ubushake buke bw’Imana, ahubwo ni ukwakira ubushake bw’Imana buhoraho.

(3) Amasengesho si ayo gukoresha mu bihe bikomeye gusa, igihe tugeze aho bikomeye dukeneye uducungura.

(4) Amasengesho si nk’ “itara ryitwa Aladin” cyangwa urugendo rwo kwiyifuriza ibyo dushaka.

(5) Ibitandukanye, amasengesho ni uburyo bw’ubumwe bukomeye, ubusabane, no kwishingikiriza ku Mana Data wa twese wasezeranije gukorera, kandi ikoresheje twe ku bw’Umwana wayo, nk’uko Imana yamukoresheje.

(6) Amasengesho ni ay’ubugingo bwa buri munsi, umwanya ku wundi.

(7) Amasengesho ni uburyo bwo kwaka ibyo Imana yasezeranije no kumenya no kwishyira mu bushake bw’Imana.

Muri Yohana 14:10-14, reba isano ry’amasengesho rivugwa mu mirongo ya 13-14 n’imirimo twe abigishwa, tugomba gukora mu murongo wa 12.

Yohana 14:10-14 ‘Ntiwizeye ko ndi muri Data, na Data akab’ari muri jye? Amagambo mbabwira sinyavuga kubwanjye: ahubwo Data, uguma muri jye, ni w’ukor’imirimo ye. 11 Nimunyizere, mwemere ko ndi muri Data na Data akaba muri jye; ariko rero nimutizezwa n’ibyo mvuga munyizezwe n’imirimo nkora n’ubwayo. 12 N’ukuri n’ukuri ndababwira yuk’unyizera, imirimo nkora na w’azayikora: ndets’azakora n’iyiruta, kuko njya kwa Data. 13 Kandi icyo muzasaba cyose mw’izina ryanjye, nzagikorera kugira ngo Data yubahirizwe mu Mwana we. 14 Nimugir’icyo musaba cyose mw’izina ryanjye, nzagikora.’

Nta gikorwa na kimwe mu bugingo bw’umwizera kidakeneye imyifatire y’amasengesho - kwishingikiriza no gutegereza mu masengesho ko Imana ikora kandi izakora ikurikije imigambi no kutuyobora byayo. Muri twe ubwacu nta cyo twabasha gukora.

Ubukristo ni ubugingo bwo kwizera Umuremyi Imana iba muri twe, kandi gusenga Imana bivuga kuzana kuri twe ubugingo bwa Kristo bw’ibitangaza. Ubukristo ni nk’uko Pawulo abivuga mu Bagalatiya 2:20, ‘Nabambanywe na Kristo ariko ndiho; nyamara si jye uriho, ahubwo ni Kristo uriho muri jye. Ibyo nkora byose nkiriho mu mubiri, mbikoreshwa no kwizera Umwana w’Imana wankunze, akanyitangira.’ Kwizera k’umwizera wabyiyemeje kwerekanwa n’ubugingo bufitanye ubumwe n’Imana mu masengesho.

Mu magambo agaragaza ibikorwa ibi bivuga iki?

• Ni nka telefone tuba tugiye guhamagara, tudashobora kwikorera ubwacu, nibura mu mbaraga n’ubugingo bya Kristo, tudasenga.
• Isomo dutegura kwigisha, ntidushobora kuritanga neza tudafite kwishingikiriza ku Imana mu masengesho.
• Mu gihe twemera ko dukeneye gushobozwa n’Imana mu bintu nko gutanga ubuhamya, ntitugomba icyakora kwifata nk’aho dufite Imana ngo tubashe kwikorera mu mbaraga zacu mu bindi bice kubera ko dutekereza ko ikintu gisa n’ikidakomeye cyangwa ko tugishoboye

Urugero, reka turebe ku gitangaza cyo kurobesha amafi menshi tubona muri Luka 5:5-11. Mbese muri iki gice Petero yatekerezaga iki? Ahari ni ikintu nka ‘Databuja w’umwigisha ukomeye, uri Umwana w’Imana na Mesiya, ariko ibi turabyishoboreye; turi abarobyi b’abahanga. Twarobye muri aya mazi igihe kirekire. Byongeye Mwami twarobye ijoro ryose kandi tuzi ko ubu amafi adashobora gufatwa’. Ariko nk’uko mubibona Ubukristo bwo muri Bibiliya ni ukubaho mu kwizera no kwishingikiriza Imana mu masengesho kandi tuyobowe n’imbaraga n’ubutware by’Umwami Yesu Kristo tutitaye ku by’uko ibintu bigaragara.

Ubukristo bwo muri Bibiliya si ukubaho uko turi n’icyo turi cyo - muri twe imbere, imibereho yacu ya kera, ibyo twanyuzemo, ibyo twigishijwe, impano zacu n’ibindi. Ahubwo ni ukubaho mu kwizera Ijambo ry’Imana, gucengerwa na Bibiliya, no kwizera Yesu Kristo umuremyi n’Imana, no kwitangira umurimo akorera muri twe iyo twitangira kumwubaha. Ariko ibi biba gusa iyo tubaho twishingikiriza kuri Data wa twese mu bugingo bw’amasengesho, ubugingo bw’amasengesho adasiba, n’ubugingo bwitangira ibihe byo gusenga umuntu ari wenyine n’Imana Data wa twese n’Umwana We mu mbaraga z’Umwuka.

Icyitegererezo cy’amasengesho
(11:2-4)

Luka 11:2-4 ‘Arababwir’ati: Ni musenga, mujye muvuga muti: Data wa twese, izina ryawe ryubahwe, ubwami bwawe buze, 3 uko bukeye ujy’uduh’ibyo kurya byacu by’uwo munsi: 4 utubabarir’ibyaha byacu, kuko natwe duharir’abarimw’imyenda yacu bose: kandi ntuduhane mu bitwoshya.’

Twarebye ibyerekeye ubugingo bw’amasengesho bw’Umwami wacu byari nta gushidikanya igice kinini cy’ikibimutera cyari inyuma yo gusaba k’umwigishwa utaravuzwe izina mu murongo wa mbere. ‘Mwami, twigishe gusenga.’ Ku Mwami wacu, amasengesho ni cyo cyari ikintu gisanzwe kandi cya ngombwa ku mibereho ye. Mu gusubiza uku gusaba ko muri Luka 11:1, Umwami wacu yatanze ikizwi na bose nk’isengesho ry’Umwami wacu. Mu kuri, ryari isengesho ry’Umwami wacu yatanze ikizwi na bose nk’isengesho ry’Umwami wacu. Mu kuri, ryari isengesho ry’abigishwa kandi ritanga urugero cyangwa icyitegererezo cy’amasengesho ashingiye kuri Bibiliya kandi y’ingirakamaro.

Iki ni igice cy’agahebuzo mu kwigisha abizera bashya ibyo gusenga kuko kirimo ibintu byinshi by’ingenzi mu gusenga.

Iri sengesho ntabwo ari ibi bintu bibiri:

(1) Ntabwo ari, kandi ntiryigeze na rimwe riba umuhango ngo rijye risubirwamo iteka. Ryari urugero rwagenwe n’Umwami kwerekana kamere y’amasengesho n’icyo amasengesho agomba kubamo. Nta kibi icyakora mu gusoma cyangwa gusubira muri ryo hamwe kimwe n’uko twabikora no ku kindi gice dufite intego runaka cyangwa kwibutsa abantu ukuri. Ndahamya icyakora ko ritigeze rigenerwa kujya risubirwamo nk’isengesho ku Mana mu mwanya w’amasengesho y’umuntu ku giti cye azanwa imbere y’Imana avuye mu mutima. Gereranya ubusobanuro bwa Bibiliya yitwa ‘Living Bible’: Luka 11:1b hasomwa hatya, ‘Mwami, twigishe isengesho ryo gusubiramo nk’uko Yohana yaryigishije abigishwa be’. Ku mpapuro hasi abahinduye iyi Bibiliya basobanuye uyu murongo, bongereye ijambo ngo, ‘icyo byashakaga kuvuga’. None se ni cyo bashakaga kuvuga, cyangwa se ubu busobanuro ni igikorwa cy’umugenzo w’idini kandi butagira aho buhuriye n’ibyo iki gice cyagenewe kwigisha?

(2) Nticyagenewe na rimwe gukoreshwa nk’impigi cyangwa amagambo yihariye yo gutabara umuntu mu gihe cy’amakuba. Ahari waba warabonye sinema aho abantu babaga bari mu kaga noneho bagasenga isengesho ry’Umwami wacu muri uwo muhango.

Isengesho ririmo ibice bibiri bigizwe n’insimburazina ‘byawe’ na ‘twe’.

• Igice kirimo ‘byawe’ cyerekana Imana kandi cyerekeye ubumwe bwacu na We ku byerekeye ubumuntu Bwe, imico Ye, ukubaho Kwe, imigambi Ye, n’umurimo We ku isi.
• Igice kirimo ‘twe’ cyerekeye ibyo dukeneye n’uko bifitanye isano n’Imana n’umurimo n’imigambi byayo mu bugingo bwacu hano ku isi.

Ibi si impanuka. Ubwa mbere, dutangirira ku Mana hanyuma tukajya kuri twe ubwacu. Aha hari ihame ry’ingenzi mu kuramya kwose uko. Mu masengesho, kimwe no mu kintu icyo ari cyo cyose, Umwami wacu atwigisha gushyira Imana imbere. Kuki? Kubera ko ibi bishyira buri kintu mu mwanya wacyo, biduha kwitegereza neza ubugingo bwacu, kureba kure y’aho amaso yacu yagarukiriza. Ibi ni ingirakamaro ngo tubashe kureba neza n’imitima n’ubwenge bwacu uwo Imana ari We n’icyo ari cyo, ngo tubashe gushaka mbere na mbere itegeko no gukiranuka by’Imana, kandi ngo tubashe kugendana na We mu kwumvira no gushobozwa na We, kuyoborwa na We no kurindwa na We.

Kimwe n’uko amarira agaragaza imibabaro kandi nk’uko guseka bigaragaza ibyishimo, bityo n’amasengesho agomba mbere na mbere guhesha Umwami icyubahiro niba amasengesho yacu agomba kugira ingaruka nziza ku bugingo bwacu - ibyiringiro, kwizera, no kugengwa n’ubushake bw’Imana.

Amasengesho ni uburyo bwo kwinjira mu munezero n’ibyiringiro by’urukundo rw’Imana, imigisha yayo, ubuyobozi bwayo, no kubaho kwayo. Ni uburyo bwo gutumbira Uwo n’Icyo Imana ari cyo - Ubumuntu bw’Imana, gahunda zayo, amasezerano yayo, n’imigambi yayo. Ubu buryo bwo gusenga buhesha Umwami icyubahiro kandi bukerekana gushaka ubumwe bwacu n’Imana, hamwe no kwumvira. Bikomeza imitima yacu kubera ko bizana Imana aho tuyibona n’imigambi yayo.

Icya mbere cyibandwaho n’Umwami cyerekana intege-nke zikunda kuboneka mu masengesho yacu. Dukunze gutangirira kuri ‘twe’ aho kuba kuri ‘byawe’. Twirukira imbere y’Imana tuvuga ‘ibyacu’ dukeneye, ingorane ‘zacu’, hanyuma nk’ingaruka, tugahinduka abita ku ngorane gusa zikadutera ubwoba aho kwita ku Mana no kwishyira tukizana mu busumba-byose bwayo (reba Zaburi 46:10, ‘Nimworoshye mumenye ko ari jye Mana’).

Dukeneye gutumbira Umwami mbere ngo tugire ibivugwa muri Yeremiya 32:27. Ku byerekeye gusohozwa kw’isezerano ry’Imana yasezeranije Abisirayeli no kugira ngo amaso y’Umutambyi ahore ku Uwteka, tubona iri jambo ku Mutambyi: ‘Ijambo ry’Uwiteka ryaje kuri Yeremiya riti, ‘dore ndi Uwiteka Imana y’ibifite imibiri byose: mbese hariho ikinanira?’ (Yeremiya 32:27).

Dukeneye gusingiza no gutumbira Imana muri Zaburi 100 mbere yo gusaba ko muri Zaburi 102.

Iyo dusenga: igihe cyo gusenga (umurongo wa 2a)

‘Nimusenga mujye muvuga muti’

Ni iby’umumaro, ndabyizeye, ko nta mategeko twahawe ku by’igihe n’incuro tugomba gusenga. Kuki? Kubera ko amasengesho arenze ibyo gusubiramo by’amadini nk’uko biri mu madini amwe, aho basenga basubiramo amagambo amwe bakunama berekeye ahantu runaka n’inshuro runaka ku munsi. Amasengesho akurikije ingenga-bihe aremewe muri Bibiliya kandi ni icyitegererezo cy’Imana dukwiriye kugira nka Danieli (Danieli 6:10), na Dawidi (Zaburi 54:16-21), ariko, kimwe na Danieli na Dawidi, agomba iteka kuba igisubizo cy’umutima ushaka ubumwe n’Imana kandi wishingikirije kuri We mu buryo bumwe n’uko umuntu yinjiza umwuka wa ogisijeni (oxigene) mu guhumeka. Ibi biboneka mu kuboroga k’umunyezaburi, ‘Nk’uko imparakazi yahagizwa (guhumeka cyane) no kwifuza imigezi, ni ko umutima wanjye wahagizwa no kukwifuza, Mana’ (Zaburi 42:1).

Ibi bintu bibiri byerekeye uku kuboroga k’umunyezaburi: Icya mbere, kwinginga kwe kwerekana gukena kwacu. Dukeneye Umwami kandi dukeneye kunywa ku isoko Ye y’ubugingo binyuze mu Ijambo ry’Imana n’amasengesho - uburyo bwacu bwo kumwumva no kumusubiza. Ariko icya kabiri, kwinginga kwe na none, kwerekana icyagombye kwemerwa nk’ukuri muri buri wese muri twe. Nk’umunyezaburi, tugomba kubaho tuvugana n’Imana. Amasengesho agomba kwerekana ko tubaho dutegereje ubumwe n’Imana no kwinjira mu mbaraga n’ubushake Bye.

Kuki dusenga: kamere y’amasengesho (umurongo wa 2a)

‘Nimusenga mujye muvuga muti ...

‘Gusenga ni ijambo ry’Ikigiriki proseuchomai riva kuri pros, ryerekana icyerekezo, kwegera, na euchomia, ‘gusaba’. Ubusobanuro bw’iri jambo (hamwe n’uko rikoreshwa) bureba amasengesho nk’inzira yo kwegera Imana mu masengesho no kwishingikiriza Imana kubera ko tumubona nk’Uwihagije muri byose, naho twe tukaba tutihagije. Amasengesho ahinduka bumwe mu buryo butwegereza Imana, no kwihaza kwayo, maze tukayubaha.

‘Kuvuga’ ni ijambo ry’Ikigiriki, ‘lego’. Ryerekana uburyo igitekerezo kigirwa mu guhitamo amagambo avugwa kubera ubusobanuro bwayo. Mu ntangiriro ryavugaga ‘kuroba no guhitamo’ kandi ibi ni byo dukora muri disikuru uretse igihe twaba turi kuvuga amagambo adasobanutse. Lego bitwibutsa ko dukeneye guhitamo neza amagambo yacu nk’uko bitandukanye no gusenga usubiramo amagambo y’idini nta gutekereza witonze. Byagombye kutwibutsa kamere y’uko amasengesho no kuvugana n’Imana byacu, bigomba kumera nk’ibiganiro.

‘Kuvuga’ ni icyo mu kibonezamvugo cy’Ikigiriki twita inshinga itondaguye mu ndagihe yisubiramo itegeka. Nk’inshinga itondaguye mu ndagihe yisubiramo, yerekana igikorwa kimeze nk’itegeko cyisubiramo hato na hato. Igitekerezo ni uko igihe musenga, mujya musenga mu buryo cyangwa mu rugero rukurikira cyangwa, ariko si ukuvuga kenshi, musubiremo aya magambo nk’ayo gupfa gusubirwamo, ingorane Yesu yasobanuye mbere muri Matayo 6:7.

Impamvu iri sengesho ritagomba kuba iryo gusubirwamo uko babonye:

(1) Matayo 6:5-7 ni imbuzi yihariye itubuza gusenga mu buryo busubiramo kandi iyi mbuzi ikurikiwe n’inyigisho iduha igitekerezo cyo gusenga. Kubona iri nk’isengesho ryo gusubirwamo byaba bivuguruza itegeko ribanziriza iri sengesho.

(2) Igice gisa n’iki cyo muri Matayo 6:9 cyongeraho amagambo, ‘muri ubu buryo’. Iri ni ijambo ry’Ikigiriki houtos rishobora gusobanurwa ngo, ‘muri ubu buryo’. Mu yandi magambo, ibi bikurikira bigomba gufatwa nk’icyitegererezo cy’uko tugomba gusenga, si nk’isengesho rigomba gufatwa mu mutwe no kujya risubirwamo.

(3) Mu nzandiko zo mu Isezerano Rishya, iri sengesho ntiryigera risubirwamo nubwo uko rivugwa cyangwa amahame yaryo akurikizwa mu buryo cyangwa ubundi.

(4) Uku gusobanukirwa guhuje n’imbuzi yo muri Yesaya 29:13 Umwami yasubiyemo arwanya idini y’inyuma y’Abisirayeli bo mu bihe bye.

Amasengesho ni nk’umwitozo w’igitekerezo cyo mu mutima no mu bwenge kitwegereza Imana mu kwambaza no kwishingikiriza kuri Yo, kubera iyo ari Yo nk’Imana isumba byose kandi idushyigikira.

Uko tugomba gusenga (imirongo ya 2b-4)

Gusaba nk’umwana

Iri tegeko ryerekana ko dukeneye kuvuka bundi bushya cyangwa guhinduka mu by’Umwuka. Ibyandistwe bitwigisha ko gusenga, uretse guhamagarirwa kumenya Imana cyangwa agakiza, bishoboka gusa ku bizera Yesu Kristo bazanwa mu bumwe n’Imana nk’abana bayo mu kwizera Yesu Kristo. Ibi bisohozwa no kuvuka bundi bushya, umurimo w’Umwuka w’Imana wo kuduhindura bashya (reba Yohana 1:12; 3:3-7; 14:6).

Amasengesho yacu agomba kubwirwa Imana ukoresheje ijambo, ‘Data wa twese’. Gahunda y’ibanze y’amasengesho ku bera bo mu Isezerano Rishya si ukubwira Yesu, ahubwo ni ukubwira Data wa twese. Ni Yo yonyine tugomba gusenga, NYIRUBUTUNGANE mu izina ry’Umwana, UTWEGEREZA Imana, kandi no mu mbaraga z’Umwuka Wera, UBURYO (reba Yohana 14:6; 16:23-24; Abefeso 2:18; 3:14; 1:17; 6:18; Yuda 20; Abakolosayi 1:13; Abaheburayo 7:25).

‘Data wa twese’ ni ijambo ryo kwubaha cyangwa gutinya, n’ubumwe n’Imana. Kwegera Imana mu masengesho nka ‘Data wa twese’ bigenewe kwerekana: (a) imyifatire yacu imbere y’Imana nk’Iyo kwubahwa, kwumvirwa no kwiringirwa, na (b) gusobanukirwa kwacu k’ubumwe dufitanye na Yo nk’abana; Imana ni nk’umubyeyi w’Imana utubwira nk’uko umubyeyi yita ku mwana we.

Kuki ibi bigira ingaruka ku bugingo bwacu bw’amasengesho?

(1) Iyo dusenga nk’abizera bo mu Isezerano Rishya, tugomba kubwira Imana nka Data wa twese, atari Imana ibwirwa umuntu yivugisha wenyine n’amajwi akomeye hamwe n’amagambo yo kwiyegurira Imana.

Ni ukuri, tugomba guhimbaza Umwami mu masengesho yacu mu gushima, kuramya, no kumushimira ubumuntu Bwe, uwo ari We, umurimo We mu kurema, mu mateka, n’agakiza. Icyo dukeneye icyokora, ni ukwegera Imana nk’abana tukamubwira nka Data wa twese (Zaburi 103:13).

(2) Bivuga ko tugomba kuvugana na We nka Data wa twese udukunda kandi akatwitaho nk’abana Be. Tuzamushimira uko ateye nk’uwo mu ijuru, no kubw’ imirimo Ye itangaje kandi ikomeye, ariko iby’ibanze bivuga gusengana ukuri nk’uk’umwana wishingikirije kandi wizeye Imana nka se ufite umutima wa kibyeyi, urukundo, kwumva, ubwenge, n’imbaraga. Gusenga Imana nka Data wa twese bivuga kuyemera nk’umuntu utwitaho cyane kurusha uko twakwiyitaho ubwacu. Si impumyi cyangwa imbaraga zitari iz’umuntu.

(3) Kwita Imana Data wa twese bivuga kuyizera dutyo. Ubumwe nk’ubwo no kwemera nk’uko ntibyashobora kwerekanwa tubwira Imana gusa nka, ‘Imana ishobora byose, Ikomeye kandi Iteye ubwoba,’cyangwa ‘Umuremyi wo gutangarirwa n’Inkomoko y’Ibibaho byose.’ Gufata Imana gutya byayobya kutamenya k’umuntu kamere n’ubumwe bwacu n’Imana muri Kristo, cyangwa kutizera Imana kw’umuntu nka Data wa twese wo mu ijuru udukunda.

Byakoroha gute gusenga cyangwa twagira ibyiringiro dute turamutse twegereye Imana nk’itari umuntu gusa, ‘Inkomoko y’Ibibaho byose’cyangwa se ‘Ikomeye kandi Iteye ubwoba? ‘Data wa twese’ ridukangurira kumenya kamere n’ubumwe bwacu n’Imana nk’ibizanwa no kuvuka bundi bushya kandi nko kwegera Imana kwacu, mu Mwami wacu Yesu Kristo n’umurimo We. Bityo ritwereka ukuntu byoroshye kandi ari iby’ubushake kwegera intebe yayo, tudatinya, dufite kwizera nk’uk’umwana uziko akundwa urukundo rutarobanura (Abaheburayo 4:16). Mu kuvuga uburyo bworoshye icyakora, sinshaka kuvuga kutubaha no kutita ku kwera no gukomera kwayo cyangwa tutita ku byaha mu bugingo bwacu. Ntitugomba uruhare rwacu mu kwatura icyaha (Zaburi 66:18). Ahubwo, ni mu kuvuga kumenya ko atwitaho nk’umubyeyi, n’urukundo rw’Imana, n’imigisha aduha no kumwegera kubw’umurimo wuzuye wa Kristo.

Gusengera guhesha icyubahiro izina ry’Imana

Mu Byanditswe, kurusha uko biri muri iki gihe, amazina avuga abo abantu ari bo n’icyo bari cyo - icyubahiro cyabo. Ibi bivuga, ‘ubumuntu bwawe bwubahwe’. ‘Bwubahwe’ ni inshinga hagiazo ‘gutoranya kweza, kwubaha, gufatwa nk’Iyera’. Ariko se twakora ibi dute? Nk’abana b’Imana dutwara izina ryayo tukamuhamagarira mu isi. Uko dukora bigira ingaruka ku izina n’icyubahiro byayo imbere y’abandi.

Pawulo yibukije Abayuda iby’iri jambo mu Baroma 2:23-24, ‘uko wirata amategeko, nawe ugayisha Imana kuyacumura? Izina ry’Imana ritukwa mu bapagani ku bwanyu, nk’uko byanditswe’. Ibi ni ukuvuga ngo ‘reka ubugingo bwanjye bwose bwubahe Imana, buyitinye kandi bube isoko y’ibyishimo byanyu n’abo muri bo bose.’

Kwubaha izina ry’Imana cyangwa kuryeza bivuga kumuha ubugingo bwanjye ngo abweza. Ibi bivuga gukingurira ubugingo bwanjye n’ubwihisho bwabwo bwose umurimo We wo kungira umwana wayo. Ni ukuri ibi bigomba kuba amasengesho yo kwiyegurira no kwitangira izina ry’Imana kuko ritakwubahwa (nibura na twe) igihe cyose twaba tukigendera mu kugoma no kuba nyamwigendaho.

Abefeso 3:16-21"Ngw’abahe, nk’uk’ubutunzi bw’ubwiza bwe buri, gukomezwa cyane mu mitima yanyu kubw’Umwuka we; 17 kandi ngo Kristo ahore mu mitima yanyu kubwo kwizera, kugira ngo, ubwo mumaze gushorer’imizi mu rukundo, mukaba mushikamye, 18 muhabw’imbaraga zo kumenyera hamwe n’abera bos’ubugari, n’uburebure bw’umurambararo, n’uburebure bw’igihagararo, n’uburebure bw’ikijyepfo bwarw’ubw’ari bwo, 19 mumenye n’urukundo rwa Kristo rurut’uko rumenywa; ngo mwuzuzwe kugeza ku kuzura kw’Imana. 20 Nukw’Ibasha gukor’ibiruta cyan’ibyo dusaba, ndetse n’ibyo twibwira byose, nk’ukw’imbaraga zayo ziri, zidukoreramo, 21 icyubahiro kib’icyayo mw’Itorero no muri Kristo Yesu, kugez’iteka ryose ry’ibihe bidashira, Amen.’

Ibi na none byerekana gushaka no gusaba gutinya Imana ku bantu muri rusange.

Gusengera ubushake bw’Imana ku isi

Iri ni isengesho ryo gusaba ubwami bw’Imana ku isi, ku buryo mu gihe kitarambiranye ubwami bwo muri iyi si buzaba ubwami bw’UMWAMI wacu. Byerekana kwizera no kwemera ko iyi si ari isi yaguye, yimuye Umuremyi wayo (Abaroma 1:18 n’ikurikira), ko iyi si atari intego y’ibanze, kandi ko isi nshya ifite ubwiza iri hafi (reba 1 Petero 1:3-8, 13-17; Ibyahishuwe 11:15).

Gusengera ubwami bw’Imana na none byerekana gutegereza n’ibyiringiro byo kugaruka kwa Kristo ku isi no kwuzura kwa gakondo yacu. Bivuga kubaho tureba ku byiringiro byacu nk’abasuhuke (Tito 2:13, 1 Petero 1:17; 2:11).

Ni n’isengesho ryo kwima kw’Imana muri twe kugira ngo ubushake bw’Imana bukorerwe ubu mu bugingo bwacu. Ni icyifuzo cyo kugira ngo tube dukwiriye umugambi wayo n’ubwo waba muto kandi bikurikije ibyo ikorera mu kugeragezwa, kuneshwa, kunesha, imigisha, n’ibyo duhura na byo izana. Nibutse umurongo wo mu gisigo cyasizwe na Cowper uvuga atya, ‘imbere muri jye hatarondoreka akoresheje ubuhanga butibeshya, yanshyizemo ibishushanyo n’ibikorwa by’ubushake Bwe busumba byose.’

Mu gice gisa n’icyo, Matayo 6:10 hongeweho ngo, ‘iby’ushaka bibeho’. Ibi bitwigisha gusenga nk’uko Umwami yabikoze ubwo yari ategereje umusaraba. ‘Iby’ushaka bibeho’ bivuga ngo nyigisha kwegurira ubugingo bwanjye icyakomeza ubwami bwawe, ubushake bwawe ku isi, n’umugambi wawe kuri jye. Ngomba kwemera mu masengesho ukuri k’uko ‘Imana izana umucyo mu mwijima; mu kwiheba, mu kutagira ibyiringiro. Mu rupfu havamo kuzuka’. Akenshi ni ‘ukubera kuneshwa Imana izana ubwami bwayo mu mitima y’abantu.’⁸⁹

Gusengera ibyo dukenera by’umubiri bya buri munsi

Mu murongo wa 4 Umwami avuga ibyo kubabarirwa bityo, iby’umuntu utari uw’umubiri akenera, umutima n’umwuka. Iyaba wowe cyangwa jyewe ari twe twatangaga aya mabwiriza twashoboraga ahari guhinduranya uko bikurikiranye tukabanza iby’umwuka bituma wera, hanyuma tugakurikizaho iby’umubiri ukenera. None ni kuki ari uko bikurikiranye?

Umwami yaremye imibiri yacu - umubiri ni ingirakamaro ku kubaho kw’abantu. Umubiri si mubi; ni igikoresho cy’umurimo n’icy’ibyiza. Ahandi hantu avuga ku byerekeye iby’umubiri ukenera, ‘mubanze mushake ubwami bw’Imana...’ Aho yerekana ko umuntu w’Umwuka ari uw’ibanze kandi abanziriza uw’umubiri. Ariko ibi ntibivuga ko umuntu w’umubiri cyangwa ibyo umubiri ukenera atari iby’ingenzi, ko bigomba kutitabwaho, cyangwa ko ari iby’Umwuka kandi byera kutita ku mubiri no kuwufata uko ubonye. Umwami ashobora kuba yabikurikiranije gutya kugira ngo arwanye ibitekerezo by’abapagani byo mu bihe Bye n’ibyo bamwe mu bizera bajegajega bashobora kugwamo - kandi bagira iteka.

Abagiriki bafataga umubiri nk’aho ari mubi kandi bizeraga ko umwuka wejejwe wari ufite agaciro kenshi. Abenshi ntibemeraga iby’umuzuko kuko bizeraga ko icyitwa ikintu cyose ari kibi. Bigishaga ko nta cyo byatwara ibyo wakorera umubiri byose. Barawubabazaga mu buryo bunyuranye cyangwa bakawukoresha nabi mu buryo bwo kwiyandarika. Iyi ni yo mpamvu bamwe mu Bagiriki b’i Korinto batashakaga kwizera iby’umuzuko kandi n’imwe mu mpamvu zatumye Pawulo yandika 1 Abakorinto 15. Ku byerekeye imyifatire yabo ku mubiri n’umuzuko, Ryrie yaranditse ati:

Muri rusange bizeraga ko ubugingo budapfa, ariko ntibizeraga umuzuko w’umubiri. Kuri bo, umubiri wari isoko y’intege nke n’ibyaha by’umuntu. Urupfu rero cyari ikintu cyakirwa neza n’ubugingo ngo bushobore kwitandukanya n’umubiri.⁹⁰

Ndetse n’uyu munsi wa none abakristo benshi bafata imibiri yabo nk’ikintu bafitiye uburenganzira. Turayigaburira birenze urugero, tukayikoresha imyitozo ngorora-ngingo mike, akenshi ntituyiha ikiruhuko gihagije, kandi muri rusange, ibihe byinshi ntitwita ku byo ikenera bya buri munsi. Mu Bafilipi 3:21, ubusobanuro bwa Bibiliya yitwa KJV bushobora gutuma dutekereza imibiri uko itari. Dore uko havuga :

Abafilipi 3:21 ‘Uzahindur’uyu mubiri wo gucishwa bugufi kwacu, akawushushanya n’umubiri w’ubwiza bwe, kukw’afit’imbaraga zo kumubashisha kwigandurira byose.’

Ubusobanuro ngo ‘umubiri mubi cyane’, bushobora gutuma dutekereza ko umubiri ari mubi, ariko mu Kigiriki havugwa ngo ‘umubiri wo gucishwa bugufi’ ni ukuvuga, umubiri utagira ubwiza. Uyu mubiri urapfa kandi urasaza, ukarwara, ugapfa ndetse ukabora - bityo rero ukenera kwitabwaho kwihariye niba tugomba kuwutunga nk’igikoresho cy’ingirakamaro cy’Imana.

Muri 1 Timoteyo 4:8 habivuga neza. Hatwibutsa ko kwitoza k’umubiri kugira umumaro kuri bike. Umubiri wacu uguma kandi tukawitaho mu buryo bukwiriye kandi buri munsi. Ariko nk’uko byumvikana kwubaha Imana kugira umumaro mu gihe cya none n’ikizaza.

1 Timoteyo 4:8 ‘Kuko kwitoza k’umubiri kugir’umumaro kuri bike, naho kubah’Imana kukagir’umumaro kuri byose, kuko gufit’isezerano ry’ubugingo bwa none n’ubuzaza na bwo.’

Umuntu ni ubumwe bw’umubiri, ubugingo n’umwuka. Icyagira icyo gitwara kimwe muri ibi, kigitwara n’ibindi. Wandaritse umubiri bishobora kugira ingaruka ku bugingo bw’umwuka. Wandaritse ubugingo bw’Umwuka byanze bikunze bizagira ingaruka ku mubiri. Aha rero Umwami wacu aratwigisha kugereranya - kwita kuri byombi, tugasengera byombi umubiri n’ubugingo. Gusengera ibyo kurya bya buri munsi bivuga ibyo umubiri ukeneye - ibyo kurya, imyambaro, aho kuba n’ibindi byose umubiri ukenera ngo ubashe gukorera Uwiteka neza. Imibiri yacu ni iye; yayiguze igiciro cy’amaraso y’Umwana We.

1 Abakorinto 6:19 ‘Mbese ntimuzi yukw’imibiri yanyu ar’insengero z’Umwuka Wera, uri muri mwe, uwo mufite wavuye ku Mana? Kandi ntimur’abanyu ngo mwigenge;’

Reba ukuntu atwigisha ngo ‘duhe none ibyo kurya byacu by’uyu munsi’.

Iri ni isengesho ry’ibyo umubiri wacu ukenera bya buri munsi. Iri rigomba kuvugwa buri munsi. Ntitugomba gufata Umwami nk’uwo twamaze guhabwa dufiteho uburenganzira. (Reba icyo Pawulo yibandaho muri uyu murongo).

1 Timoteyo 4:4 ‘Kukw’iby’Imana yaremye byose ari byiza; ntiharimw’icyo gutabwa, iyo cyakiranyw’ishimwe:’

Ibi na none bitwigisha ko ibyo twitaho by’ingenzi bigomba kuba ibyo dukenera buri munsi - kubaho umunsi ku wundi nk’abasuhuke aho kuba ubugingo bwo guhunikwamo kimwe na wa mutunzi w’umupfapfa.

Luka 12:16-21 ‘Nukw’abacir’umugani ati: Harih’umukungu war’ufit’imirima irumbuka cyane; 17 nukw’aribaza mu mutima we ati: Ndagira nte, ko ntafit’aho mpunik’imyaka yanjye? 18 Aribwir’ati: Ndabigenza ntya: ndaseny’urugarama rwanjye, nubak’urundi runini, ab’ari mwo mpunik’imyaka yanjye yose n’ibintu byanjye; 19 ni bwo nzabwir’umutima wanjye nti, Mutima, ufit’ibintu byinshi bibikiw’imyaka myinshi, ngaho ruhuka, urye, unywe, unezerwe. 20 Arikw’Imana iramubwir’iti: Wa mupfu we, muri iri joro uranyagw’ubugingo bwawe; nukw’ibyo wabitse bizab’ibya nde? 21 Ni k’umuntu wirundaniriz’ubutunz’amera, atar’umutunzi mu by’Imana.’

1 Timoteyo 6:17 ‘Wihanangiriz’abatunzi bo mu by’iki gihe, kugira ngo be kwibona, cyangwa kwiringir’ubutunzi butar’ubwo kwizigirwa, ahubwo biringir’Imana, iduha byos’itimana, ngo tubinezererwe;’

Intego y’uku gusaba ni ukudufasha gushyira umutekano n’ibyiringiro mu maboko y’Umwami buri munsi ngo aturinde: (a) Umutekano utari uw’ukuri, no (b) gukurikira ibihendo by’ubu bugingo, ni ukuvuga kugira ubugingo bubaho umunsi umwe umwe byadufasha kugira intego n’imigambi bikwiriye (reba 1 Timoteyo 6:8-19; Matayo 6:19-34).

Iri sengesho rigenewe kudufasha kumenya ko ibyo duhabwa buri munsi ubugingo bukenera biva ku Mwami hadukurijwe ubutunzi bwacu, cyangwa ibyo twahunitse, cyangwa uko dukeka twiyeguriye mu bwenge bwacu ibihe bizaza. Guteganyiriza ibihe bizaza bifite umwanya wabyo, ariko gusa uko turinda gahunda nk’izo mu buryo bwiza.

Rigenewe na none kutwibutsa ko nubwo Imana iturenze kandi ikaba ari Imana isumba byose byo mu isi, ni na Data wa twese uhoraho wo mu ijuru utwitaho uduha byose ndetse akaba ari We byifuzo byacu bya buri munsi. Ariko ba uretse gato, mbese Yesu Kristo We ntiyavuze ati, ‘So wo mu ijuru azi ibyo mukeneye mutarabimusaba?’ (Matayo 6:8, 32).

Niba abizi, kuki tugomba gusaba buri munsi?

(1) Amasengesho si ukumenyesha Imana izi byose ibyo dukeneye. Amasengesho ni ayo kutwemeza no kuturindira mu kwishingikiriza kuri We.

(2) Ihame ry’amasengesho si uko Imana ikeneye kubwirwa, ahubwo tugomba kumubwira kubera ibyo amasengesho y’ukuri atumarira. Atuma twicisha bugufi imbere y’ubushake bw’Imana no kwiga gutegereza Imana mu gihe tumwishimira mu mitima yacu (Zaburi 37:4-6).

(3) Amasengesho ni uburyo butwegereza Imana kugira ngo ibashe kutuba bugufi iduhe imigisha, bitari ibyo dukeneye gusa nk’uko dushobora kubyibwira, ndetse bishobora no kuba atari ibyo dukeneye, ahubwo ngo dusobanukirwe Imana ubwayo (Yakobo 4:8). Bigenda bite iyo tutabashije guhimbaza no gushima Imana kandi ntituzane imbere y’Umwami ibyo dukeneye? Dutangira kumuvaho, kumufata nk’uwo tugomba kugira byanze bikunze, bityo tukagwa mu buyobe bwo gukeka ko dushobora ubwacu kwiyoborera ubugingo.

Imana ikoresha amasengesho akurikije Bibiliya, atari ukubera ko hari icyo tuyimenyesheje cyangwa ko twatumye Imana ihindura ibitekerezo byayo, ahubwo kubera ko yahinduye ubugingo bwacu, akerekana ukwizera kwacu, kwumwumvira no kwumwubaha (Zaburi 33:13-22; 34:4-9). Imana isubiza kandi ikubahiriza kwiringira.

Gusengera ibyo dukenera by’Umwuka

(1) Ibyerekeye ibyaha by’umuntu - ‘Utubabarire ibyaha byacu’, (11:4a)

Mbere na mbere uyu murongo uvuga ibyo kubabarirwa by’umwana w’Imana; si ukubabarirwa kw’utizera. Utizera ntashobora kubabarirwa asenze iri sengesho cyangwa yatuye ibyaha bye ngo bimuhe kubabarirwa. Ahubwo, Bibiliya itubwira ko agomba kwemera kamere ye y’ibyaha, ko ari umunyabyaha utandukanijwe n’Imana, utabasha kwifasha ubwe, kandi ukeneye ubuntu bukiza bw’Imana ku bwo kwizera Yesu Kristo n’umurimo We.

Iki gice cyagenewe abigishwa, abizera bashobora kwita Imana Se nk’abana babyawe ubwa kabiri n’Imana ku bwo kwizera Kristo. Ku by’amategeko, ku bizeye Kristo igihano cy’ibyaha cyakuweho n’umusaraba (Abaroma 3:21-24; 5:1-2; Abakolosayi 1:14), ariko nk’uko tubona muri Yohana 13, twese duhura n’ingorane z’ibyaha dukora uko tugendagenda mu nzira zanduye zo muri iyi si. Ibyaha bizwi bibangamira ubumwe bwacu n’Imana, bizimya imbaraga ze no kuyobora ubugingo bwacu kwe, kandi bikabangamira ububasha bwacu bwo gukura no guhindurwa by’ukuri n’ubuntu bw’Imana. Bityo rero, muri iki cyitegererezo cy’amasengesho, Umwami atwereka uko tugomba kwifata imbere y’ingorane z’ibyaha byacu.

Tugomba kwibuka ko iri sengesho riduha icyitegererezo cyo gusenga n’ibigize isengesho. Aha ritwereka ko kubabarirwa ari igice cy’ingenzi mu masengesho yacu niba agomba gusubizwa kandi akagira umumaro mu bugingo bwacu n’uko tugendana n’Imana. Iki gice ntikiduha ubusobanuro bw’ukuntu n’ibice by’uko umwizera agomba kwifata imbere y’icyaha ngo ababarirwe. Kubw’ibi, Imana itegereje ko duhindukirira Ijambo ry’Imana ngo ritwigishe kandi riducengere. Ahubwo, iki cyitegererezo cy’amasengesho kitwibutsa ko turi abanyabyaha, kikatwereka ko dukeneye kwezwa ngo dusabane n’Imana, kandi cyerekana uruhare rwacu rw’uko twakwifata imbere y’ingorane z’ibyaha byacu mu moko yabyo yose nka:

• Ibyaha by’uko twifata mu bitekerezo - kwangana, kwifuza, ishyari.
• Icyaha cyo ku rurimi - kubeshya, kunegurana, gusekana, ikirimi kibi.
• Ibyaha bigaragara by’uburyo bwinshi - kwiba, ibiteye isoni, ubusambanyi, kwica, kunywa ibiyobyabwenge, guhuguza, n’ibindi.
• Ibyaha by’ibanze - kutakira ubuntu bw’Imana no kutabaho twishingikiriza Imana, ibyo duha agaciro bitari byo, impamvu zitari zo, n’uburyo butari bwo bwo gutekereza n’uko twifata mu bugingo. Ibi birimo ibyo kwitabara no guhunga kimwe n’iby’ingamba zo kwitabara no kwiyobora akenshi dukunda gukoresha ngo tuyobore ubugingo bwacu no kwirinda ubwacu aho kwiringira Umwami.

Reka turebe akanya gato muri Luka 11:4a ‘Utubabarire ibyaha byacu.’ Inshinga, ‘kubabarira’, nk’uko ryakoreshejwe muri uyu murongo ni inshinga ya aorist y’Ikigiriki cyongera ku Ijambo iby’uko ikintu cyihutirwa - ntagushidikanya kubera ingaruka z’ibyaha. Umwami avuga aha iby’ibyaha byihariye. Ijambo ibyaha rifite indanga-jambo kandi riri mu bwinshi. Dukurikije ko Ibyanditswe bivuga rumwe, Umwami aha aravuga iby’ibyaha byihariye tugomba kwemera nk’ibyaha kubera icyo bikora ku busabane bwacu n’Umwami n’ububasha bwacu nk’abizera bwo gukunda no gufasha abandi.

Ibi bivuga ko tugomba gufata uku gusaba, ‘utubabarire ibyaha byacu’, nko gusabira ibyaha byacu byose muri rusange ni ukuvuga ngo ‘Mwami, mbabarira ibyaha byanjye byose’. Ibi byashobora gutuma tutemera ibyaha byihariye, bikadusigana ibya rusange bitagira icyo bitwemeza. Isengesho nk’iryo ryaba gusa iryo gukubita ibyaha munsi ya tapis (ikirago cyo gukandagiraho). Ni nko gusukura inyuma y’igikombe ariko ukibagirwa umwanda w’imbere.

Matayo 12:34-35 ‘Mwa bana b’inshira mwe, mwabasha mute kuvuga amagambo meza muri babi? Ibyuzuye mu mutima, n’iby’akanwa kavuga. 35 Umuntu mwiz’atang’ibyiza abikuye mu butunzi bwe bwiza, n’umuntu mub’atang’ibibi abikuye mu butunzi bwe bubi.’

Matayo 23:25-26 ‘Nukw’abantu basinziriye, umwanz’araza, abib’urukungu mu masaka, aragenda. 26 Nukw’amaze kumera no kwera, urukungu narwo ruraboneka.’

Inshinga ni aphiemi kandi ivuga, ‘kwohereza, kureka ikintu kikagenda’. Riva ku mbanziriza-jambo ‘giturutse’ n’inshinga ‘kuba’. Ryari rifite icyakora uburyo ryakoreshwaga bwemewe n’amategeko kandi rikavuga ‘kuvanaho, gusubiza, kubabarira’. Ryakoreshwaga ku nguzanyo cyangw’umwenda no kwicira urubanza n’umwenda w’icyaha ukuraho igihano cyangwa ingaruka z’ibyaha, kubwo kubabarirwa. Ingaruka aha ni ubusabane bwajemo agatotsi, bugarurwa no kwatura nyakuri. (Reba Umugereka wa 5 ku byerekeye iby’ingenzi mu kubabarirwa k’umwizera.

(2) Ibyerekeye uko tubana n’abandi - ‘Kuko natwe duharira abarimo imyenda yacu yose...’ (umurongo wa 4b)

Hano kimwe no muri Matayo 6:12b, ibi bivuga mu buryo bw’ihame aho kuba gusaba, ariko bivuga ibikeneye gusesengurwa. Ni ikintu buri wese akeneye guha Umwami ngo abiyobore. Imana idufata nk’abafite uruhare mu bumwe tugirana n’abandi kandi intumbero hano ni igihe dutekereza ko twahohotewe bikaba byatuma dushaka kubika inzika no kwihorera.

Ku byo kubabarira abandi, hari buri gihe ibintu bibiri: gutumbira ku Mana cyangwa se gutumbira hejuru, no gutumbira ku muntu cyangwa se gutumbira ku ruhande.

Ku byerekeye Imana: ibyaha byose dukorera abandi tubikorera Imana mbere na mbere kubera ko ari ukwica itegeko ry’Imana ryo gukundana. Bityo rero, iyo ducumuriye undi muntu, tugomba mbere na mbere kwaturira Imana.

Ku byerekeye abantu: Mu mibanire yacu na bagenzi bacu, dufite ibintu by’ubwoko bubiri biduhata: iby’uwacumuriwe n’iby’uwacumuye.

UWAHEMUTSE	UWAHEMUKIWE
We n’Imana – Yihane ku Mana icyaha yahemukiye mugenzi we	Umurimo we – kubabarira uwamuhemukiye
We na mugenzi we – Asabe imbabazi kandi ashake uko yiyunga n’uwo yahemukiye. Ashobora gusubiza ibyo yangirije	Umurimo we – Bishobotse kubera ubumwe n’ubwiyunge, asange mugenzi we kugira ngo biyunge

Uwakosherejwe, nk’uwababariwe muri Kristo, agomba gukora ibintu bibiri. Icya mbere, agomba kwerekana kubabarira kutagira akagero bahawe na Kristo. Aha ni nka rwa rubanza rw’umugaragu wanze kubabarira mugenzi we muri Matayo 18:23-35. Icya kabiri, iyo uwakosheje atagize icyo akora, mu kwumvira Ibyanditswe, kandi kubw’ubumwe, gusubiza iby’abandi, kwomora, uwakosherejwe yagombye kwegera uwakosheje kugira ngo barangize icyo kibazo n’ubwo yacyahwa (Luka 17:3-4). Iyo uwakosheje atihannye, uwakosherejwe ashobora gukurikiza ibyo muri Matayo 18. Ibi icyakora, nta na rimwe bivuga ko dufite uburenganzira bwo kwangana cyangwa kugira umujinya.

Niba Imana kubw’ubuntu n’imbabazi zayo yaratubabariye umwenda ukomeye ityo, uwo tutashoboraga kwishyura kubera ububi bwacu, mbega ukuntu tugomba kurushaho kubabarira abandi imyenda cyangwa ibyaha badukoreye nk’abagaragu bagenzi bacu uko twaba twarababajwe kwose. Ibitubabaza ntibyagereranywa n’ibyo Kristo yatubabarijwe. Ariko kubabarira abandi nta na rimwe bigomba gufatwa nk’umurimo dukora ngo tubone imbabazi z’ibyaha byacu, kubera ko umwenda wacu aba ari munini ngo tube twabasha kugira icyo dukora ngo twishyure.

Uwakosheje na we hari ibintu bibiri agomba gukora: icya mbere, kwihana ibyo yakoze no kubyaturira Imana. Ibi bigarura ubumwe n’Imana. Hanyuma akegera uwo yakoshereje bakarangiza icyo kibazo amusaba imbabazi no gukora ibyiza hakurikijwe uko ibintu biba bimeze. Gereranya imirongo ikurikira ku kubabarira: (Reba Matayo 18:21-35; Luka 17:3-4 na 1 Petero 3:7)

Abefeso 4:31-32 ‘Gusharira kwose n’uburakari n’umujinya n’intonganya no gutukana hamwe n’igomwa ryose bibavemo. 32 Mugirirane neza, mugiriran’imbabazi, mubabariran’ibyaha, nk’ukw’Imana yabababariye muri Kristo.’

Matayo 5:23-26 ‘Nuko n’ujyan’ituro ryawe ku gicaniro, ukahibukira mwene so ko afit’icyo mupfa, 24 usigey’ituro ryaw’imbere y’igicaniro, ubanze ugende wikiranure na mwene so, uherek’ugaruk’utur’ituro ryawe. 25 Wikiranure vuba n’ukurega, mukiri mu nzira, ukurega ye kugushyikiriz’umucamanza, umucamanz’ataguh’umusirikare, akagushyira mu nzu y’imbohe. 26 Ndakubwir’ukuri yuk’utazavamo rwose, keretse wishyuy’umwenda wose, hadasigay’ikuta na rimwe.’

Matayo 6:14-15 ‘Kuko nimubabarir’abant’ibyaha byabo, na So wo mu ijur’azabababarira na mwe: 15 ariko nimutababarir’abantu na So na we ntazabababarira ibyaha byanyu.’

Amahame yo Kuzirikanwa:

• Kutababarira byerekana ubushake buke bwacu bwo gukorera abandi nk’uko Imana yadukoreye. Tugomba kugira ubushake bwo kubabarira nk’uko Imana yatubabariye (Matayo 18:21-35; Abefeso 4:32).
• Kutababarira abandi bituruka ku kutabiha Imana kwacu ngo twiringire imigambi ye no kutuyobora kwe bisumba byose. Umwami wabaga mu rukundo n’umugambi bya Se ni We rugero rwacu rutunganye (1 Petero 2:21-25).
• Kutababarira abandi bituma Umwami na We atatubabarira, bidatewe n’uko igikorwa cyacu cyo kutababarira kiba ibanze ryo kubabarirwa kwacu, ahubwo kubera ko kutababarira, kimwe n’ikindi cyaha kizwi, kibera intambamyi ubumwe bwacu n’Imana. Icy’ibanze ku kubabarirwa kwacu iteka ni umusaraba no kuba Kristo ahora imbere y’Imana atuburanira (1 Yohana 1:9-2:2). Ni ngombwa ko dusobanukirwa icyakora ko kutababarira abandi atari icyaha gusa, ahubwo ni icyaha kinyuranye n’umutima w’Ubutumwa Bwiza (reba Matayo 5:23-24; 1 Petero 3:7; Zaburi 66:18)
• Kutababarirana bitera itorero kurwara - ntirigire imbaraga n’imigisha by’Imana ku murimo n’ubugingo byaryo.

(3) Gusengera ibishuka umuntu - ‘kandi ntuduhane mu bitwoshya...’ (Umurongo wa 4c).

Uku gusaba kwihariye kwateye benshi gushidikanya. Mu by’ukuri ibi bivuga iki? Ikintu kimwe cy’ukuri, si ugusaba kubera kugira ubwoba ko Imana ishobora kutujyana mu bitwoshya. Yakobo 1:13 atwibutsa ko Imana itagira uwo yoshya. Kwoshywa gukora icyaha bituruka iteka ahandi hatari ku Mwami. Uku gusaba guturuka mu kwemera amahame amwe n’ukuri kw’Umwuka. Bitwibutsa kandi bikatuburira kuri:

• Ihame ry’intege-nke zitubamo n’ubushobozi bwacu buke bwo kumenya ibigeragezo cyangwa se kubasha kurwanya ibigeragezo bitewe n’uko tumeze ku by’Umwuka n’aho tugeze dukura.
• Ihame ry’abanzi bacu batatu, inkomoko y’ukuri y’amoshya - (a) kamere y’icyaha cyangwa icyaha kiba muri twe, (b) isi tubamo na (c) Satani uturwanya. Satani n’isi bafite imitego myinshi dushobora gufatwamo bitewe no kwifuza kwacu no gushaka guhindukirira ibihendo byinshi bizanwa n’izi nkomoko ku bwo gushaka ibyubahiro n’umunezero.
• Ihame ry’uko dukeneye bikomeye kurindwa no kuyoborwa n’Umwami - imbaraga zacu zonyine zo kurwanya ibigeragezo (reba Abefeso 6:10 n’imirongo ikurikira).

Icyo gusabirwa ni ukwemera aya mahame ngo duhindukirire Umwami kandi tumwishingikirizeho ngo aturinde ubwacu kimwe no kuturinda ibigeragezo, cyane cyane ibyo tudashobora kumenya.

Umugani w’inshuti ititiriza
(11:5-8)

Luka 11:5-8 ‘Arababwir’ati: Ni nde muri mwe ufit’inshuti, wayisanga mu gicuku, akayibwir’ati: Nshuti yanjye, nzimanir’imitsim’itatu, 6 kukw’inshuti yanjy’impingutseho ivuye mu rugendo; none nkaba ntafit’icyo nyizimanira: 7 uwo mu nzu akamusubiz’ati, Windushya, namaze kugarira, ndaryamye, n’abana banjye na bo nuko; sinshoboye kubyuka ngo nyiguhe. 8 Ndababwira yuko, nubw’atabyukijwe no kuyimuhera kw’ar’inshuti ye, ariko kukw’amutitirije, biramubyutsa, amuh’iby’ashaka byose.’

Muri uyu mugani tubona impamo y’igisubizo cy’Imana n’imigisha yayo kubwo gusenga utitiriza.

Hari ibibazo bimwe bitutumba mu bwenge bw’abizera ku byerekeye amasengesho. Urugero: kuki tugomba gukomeza gusabira ikintu igihe ubwa mbere twagisengeye twizeye ko Imana idusubiza? Mbese ni ukutizera? Kuki hari igihe dusenga twizeye igisubizo, ariko ntitugire igisubizo tubona? Twizera kandi twemera ko ari ubushake bw’Imana ariko ntihagire ikiba. Twakora iki? Twatekereza iki?

Ibibazo nk’ibi akenshi bica intege amasengesho kubera ko abantu badasobanukirwa bihagije iby’amasengesho n’umwanya wayo muri gahunda y’Imana mu bugingo bwacu. Byongeye, abizera bazi ko bagomba gusenga ndetse gusenga mu kwizera, ariko ibi birakomeye. Baravuga bati, ‘Nzi ko Imana ibishoboye ariko se ni ubushake bwayo?’ Uko biri kose, ubushake bw’Imana ni ikintu cy’ingenzi ku buryo dusenga tugasubizwa.

Reba Mariko 11:22-24

‘Yesu arabasubiz’ati: Mwizer’Imana. 23 Ndababwir’ukuri yuk’umuntu wese wabwira uyu musozi ati, Shinguka, utabwe mu nyanja; ntashidikanye mu mutima we, yizeye yukw’icy’avuze gikorwa, yakibona. 24 Ni cyo gitumye mbabwira nti: Ibyo musaba byose mubishyizeh’umutima, mwizere yuko mubihawe, kandi muzabibona.’

Hanyuma ugereranye iri sezerano ryo hejuru aha n’ibice bikurikira:

Matayo 6:10 ‘Ubwami bwawe buze, iby’ushaka bibeho mw’isi, nk’uko biba mw’ijuru;’

Luka 22:42 ‘Data, n’ubishaka, undenz’iki gikombe; ariko bye kub’uko nshaka, ahubwo bibe uk’ushaka.’

Abefeso 5:17 ‘Nuko ntimukab’abapfu, ahubwo mumeny’icy’Umwami wac’ashaka.’

Umugani w’Umwami werekeye inshuti yanze kwemera OYA nk’igisubizo watangiwe kurwanya gushidikanya kandi no kugira ngo ube impamvu n’ikidutera gukomeza no gutitiriza mu masengesho yizera Imana ku byo dusaba. Iyo tuvuze ‘amasengesho atitiriza’ tuba dushaka kuvuga iki? Birahagije kuvuga ko ari ibirenze amasengesho gusa.

Uyu mugani ni uw’iki? (Luka 11:1 reba 18:1, ni ukuvuga ibihavugwa). Abigishwa bari babajije Umwami ngo abigishe gusenga. Barimo bavuga ngo, ‘Tugeze ahantu, Mwami, aho amasengesho atari amahitamo cyangwa ayo gukoreshwa mu bihe bikomeye gusa. Tugeze aho uri Umwami n’aho amasengesho ari ay’ingenzi n’ukuri tutakwirengagiza.’

Iyi mirongo, yerekeye uyu mugani, ibyo dusabwa, amasezerano, n’amahame yatangiwe gusubiza ibibazo no kubaha impamvu (bityo na twe) mu ntambara y’amasengesho. Muri Luka 18:1, Kristo yari afite na We nta gushidikanya amasengesho atitiriza mu mutima we. Reba ko dufite guhitamo ibintu bibiri gusa: dushobora gusenga dukurikije Bibiliya mu kwizera cyangwa tunanirwa gusenga kandi na byo ni uburyo bwo kuneshwa.

Uyu mugani mu gusubiza umwigishwa utaravuzwe izina ku cyifuzo cy’amasengesho (11:1), wagenwe n’Umwami nk’inyigisho zindi ku byerekeye amasengesho. Uvuga abantu batatu tuzita A, B na C n’ibintu bitanu.

Inshuti twise A, yari ivuye mu rugendo rwa kure, isura inshuti twise B ari nijoro, uko bigaragara ikeneye gufashwa. Inshuti twise B, itari ifite ibihagije, ijya ku muturanyi, inshuti twise C ngo imufashishe ibyo guha inshuti A. Inshuti C, icyakora, nubwo ifite byinshi ntiyihutiye guhaguruka no gufasha inshuti B, ariko yaratitirije akomeza gusabira inshuti A. Hanyuma, inshuti C yari ifite byinshi yatanze byasabwaga kubera gutitiriza kwa B.

Reka turebe inyigisho cyangwa amahame dushobora kwiga muri uyu mugani ku by’amasengesho.

Ihame ryo gukenera abandi

Aha ni ho amasenesho aturuka. Amasengesho agenewe gutanga ibyo abashonje bakeneye (Abaheburayo 4:16). Ariko uyu mugani werekana gusengera ibyo abandi bakeneye, si ibyo twe dukeneye. Inshuti B yasabiye inshuti ye yaje imugana ari mu gicuku, ishonje kandi nta cyo kurya. Aho na none ni ho itorero risa n’iryataye intumbero yaryo mu murimo wo gusabira abandi. Ibuka ko hari amoko abiri y’amasengesho: (a) gusabira ibyo dukeneye ubwacu no (b) gusabira ibyo abandi bakeneye.

Nk’abizera twese turi abatambyi b’Imana (1 Petero 2:5). Twahawe umurimo wo gusabira abandi ushobora gutuma tuzana imbaraga n’imigisha bitavuzwe mu bugingo bw’abandi dusabira abazimiye, abakozi ngo boherezwe, gukingura inzugi z’Ijambo ry’Imana, n’ibyo bagenzi bacu b’abizera bakenera (reba 3 Yohana 2; Abefeso 6:18; Abakolosayi 4:2-4, 12). Gusenga neza ni ukwumva neza ibyo abandi bakeneye. Ni ukwita ku bandi aho kwiyitaho ubwacu.

Igihe yari ku musaraba, Umwami wacu yasengeye gutabarwa kwe ubwe, ariko nta na rimwe yibagiwe abamukikije bose. Mu busobanuro bw’Ikigiriki, gikoresha inshinga itondaguye mu gihe gisa n’icyashize ku gikorwa gikomeza mu gihe cyashize; tuzi ko Umwami yasenze asubiramo ati ‘Data ubababarire ...’ muri arya masaha yo ku musaraba.

Ikindi kintu gisa n’iki cyo haruguru ni ingingo ikurikira iboneka muri iki gice.

Ihame ry’urukundo rwitanga

Ni Andrew Murray werekanye mu gitabo Hamwe na Kristo mu Ishuri ryo Gusenga, ko gusabira abandi ari igice kimwe mu ishuri ry’Imana ryo kutwigisha (urupapuro rwa 49). Hano ubwana bwacu, ubumwe bwacu n’ubucuti bwacu n’Imana birageragezwa kimwe n’urukundo dukunda abandi. Ubugingo bwacu bwo gusenga ni igipimo cyiza cy’imimerere nyakuri y’ubugingo bwacu bw’Umwuka no gukura kwacu n’ubusabane na Yesu Kristo.

Byagenze bite muri uyu mugani? Umuntu yakiriye iwe mu gicuku umugenzi wari unaniwe. Ntiyigeze ashaka kwisobanura ngo avuge ati ‘Nagize umunsi unaniza cyane, nta byo kurya mfite - jya ahandi’. Yaretse ikiruhuko cya nijoro yarimo arasohoka mu mwijima ajya gushaka umutsima wari ukenewe. ‘Urukundo ntirwishakira ibyarwo’, urukundo ruritanga, rutanga ku gihe cyarwo, no ku butunzi bwarwo ruha abandi ibyo bakeneye.

Ubu bwoko bw’urukundo mu magambo no mu bikorwa ntirusanzwe kuri twe. Rukenera ubushobozi n’impamvu bidasanzwe. Rukenera umutima nk’uwa Kristo (Ijambo ry’Imana mu bugingo no kuyoborwa n’Umwuka Uyobora n’ubugingo butera imbaraga). Yohana 15:5, 7-8 n’Abefeso 6:18 hatwibutsa ko ubusabane nyabwo n’Umwami ari ngombwa ku bugingo bwacu bw’amasengesho kimwe n’uko amasengesho ari ngombwa ku bumwe bwacu n’Umwami. Mu buryo bumwe, kimwe kigaburira ikindi. Hatariho gutumbira mu ijuru, amasengesho ahinduka kwikunda kandi ashingiye ku mpamvu z’ibinyoma (Yakobo 4:2). Bityo, mu buryo bw’ukuri, amasengesho yo gusabira abandi ni igipimo cy’urukundo rwacu, ubumwe bwacu n’Imana n’ubucuti bwacu n’abandi. Mbese ndi nshuti ki?

Ihame ryo kudashobora kwacu

Umuntu twise inshuti B yaravuze ati ‘ntacyo mfite ngo muzimanire’. Abantu akenshi bavuga iby’imbaraga z’urukundo, ibyo urukundo rubasha gukora kandi rukorera abandi. Ariko ni ngombwa kuri twe kureba ukundi kuri. Muri twe ubwacu tubuze byinshi cyane. Dushobora gushaka gufasha abandi ariko kubera intege-nke zacu nk’abantu ntidushobora cyangwa se nibura dufite aho tugarukira mu bushobozi bwacu bwo gufasha. Muri twe ubwacu ntacyo turi cyo.

Uko twashaka kuzana umuntu kuri Kristo kose, wowe nanjye ntidushobora gufungura amaso yacu, ntidushobora kuyahatira kubona umucyo. Umwuka w’Imana wenyine ni We ushobora kubikora (Ibyakozwe 16:14). Ivugabutumwa, rero, kugira ngo rigire umumaro rigomba kubanzirizwa n’isengesho. Ihame risa n’iri rikoreshwa no mu guhugura abantu mu Ijambo ry’Imana. Akomeje, intumwa Pawulo yasengeye gusobanukirwa mu by’Umwuka by’abantu yigishaga (Abefeso 1:15-23; 3:14-20; Abakolosayi 1:9-14; Abafilipi 1:9-11). Abaganga bashobora gukorera umurwayi ibyo bashoboye byose, ariko ntibakuraho ingorane kuko Imana yonyine ari yo ibishoboye.

Ihame ni uko tudakwiriye kandi turi abanyantege-nke, ariko Imana ishobora byose, izi byose kandi ibera hose icyarimwe ni Yo ishobora gukora ibirenze ibyo twabasha gusaba cyangwa gutekereza. Mu bwenge bwayo izi ibyiza kuruta ibindi; mu rukundo rwayo itwitaho buri gihe, kandi mu mbaraga zayo ishobora byose. Bityo rero uko turushaho kubona kudashobora kwacu no gukena, ni ko amasengesho arushaho kutubera aya ngombwa n’ayo tutakwibuza.

Kwemeza kwerekeye inshuti ishobora kandi ishaka gufasha

Nubwo uyu muntu adashobora kwikenura we ubwe, azi ko hariho undi ushoboye kandi ushaka gufasha. Afite inshuti ya bugufi ikize cyane ishoboye kandi ishaka gufasha.

Akurikira ni amahame y’ingenzi yerekeye kwizera:

• Kwizera kugomba kwizera ikintu gikwiriye;
• Icyo kintu kigomba kuboneka;
• Icyo kintu kigomba kuba gishoboye; kandi
• Icyo kintu kigomba kuba gifite ubushake.

Kumenya aya mahame bidutera kurushaho gusenga (reba Nehemiya 1).

Kwizera no kumenya byatumye urya muntu abyuka mu gicuku ajya kwa mugenzi we gusaba umutsima w’umugenzi wari unaniwe avuye mu rugendo rwa kure kandi yari ananiwe kandi ashonje. Nk’uko byavuzwe haruguru amasengesho ni igipimo cy’ubucuti bwacu n’Imana cy’uko tumuzi n’uko twiringiye ko Imana izasubiza kandi ikaduha. Kwizera nk’uku kujyana ku masengesho: mu kumenya Imana n’amasezerano yayo n’uko tuyegera muri Yesu Kristo, dushobora kwiringira ubufasha bwayo - budashobora kudutera umugongo, ko atwumva kandi yita ku byo dukenera n’ibyo abandi bakenera.

Ibi biduha icyitegererezo kandi bitwigisha ukuri k’uko Data wa twese wo mu ijuru akaba n’ ‘inshuti’ azaduha ibyo dukeneye koko, nta kwibeshya, Imana izabiduha! Kuki? Kubera ko Imana yacu idashobora kubeshya, idahinduka, ikaba ari urukundo kandi ari iyo kwiringirwa, yaduhaye isezerano ku rindi kuri ibyo. Gereranya na Matayo 21:22; 18:19-21; na Luka 11:9-10.

Zaburi 9:10 ‘Abaz’izina ryawe bazakwiringira; Kuko wowe, Uwiteka, utarek’abagushaka.’

Zaburi 10:17-18 ‘Uwiteka, wumvis’iby’abanyamubabaro bashaka: uzakomez’imitima yabo, uzatyariz’ugutwi, 18 kugira ng’ucir’imfubyi n’abahatw’imanza zibakwiriye, Umuntu wakomotse mu butaka ye kuzongera guter’ubwoba.’

Zaburi 34:4 ‘Nashats’Uwiteka, aransubiza, Ankiz’ubwoba nari mfite bwose.’

Zaburi 145:18-19 ‘Uwiteka aba hafi y’abamutakira bose, Abamutakira mu by’ukuri bose. 19 Azasohoz’iby’abamwubaha bashaka; kand’azumva gutaka kwabo, abakize.’

Imigani 15:29 ‘Uwiteka aba kure y’inkozi z’ibibi; Ariko yumva gusaba k’umukiranutsi.’

Mbese tuzi Imana yacu dute? Ni amahame cyangwa amasezerano angahe yerekeye amasengesho tuzi?

Twumva abantu bavuga ngo, ‘ariko rimwe na rimwe igisubizo cy’Imana ni OYA’. Ni byo koko kandi na 2 Abakorinto 12:7 n’ikurikira harabihamya. Ariko icy’ingenzi nizera tugomba kubona ni uko; akenshi imyifatire nk’iyi itubuza gusabira abandi no kwisabira cyangwa gusenga nyakwo. Akenshi abantu barekeraho gusabira ikintu bataragera ku rugero rwo gutitiriza.

Igisubizo kidashimishije (umurongo wa 7)

Muri uyu mugani umuntu wagombye gufasha afite ubushake buke bwo gufasha. Iki gice cyo muri uyu mugani kirashaka kuvuga iki? Imana yatubwiye gusenga, itwitaho, kandi yadusezeranije ubufasha n’igisubizo, akenshi yimana igisubizo n’impano. Rimwe na rimwe duhura n’ibisa n’uko atwangira. Kuki? Ibivugwa aha ni ibiki? Kristo aratwigisha iki ku byerekeye gusabira abandi? Ko tugomba gukomeza gukomanga ku rugi rw’Imana nk’inshuti ifite ubushake buke kugeza igihe atakibasha kubyihanganira hanyuma akemera? OYA!

Hanyuma ko hari ibihe twumva twiringiye ubushake bw’Imana, igihe dufite ibyo dukeneye bigaragara kandi tugasenga mu kwizera, twiringiye maze tugasa n’abananirwa cyangwa tugasubizwa ngo OYA? None bite? Reka turebe amahame akurikira atubere igisubizo.

Gutitiriza kutangirwa

Mu gice cyacu inshuti B yarangiwe - ‘windushya’, ariko ntiyafata igisubizo ko ari OYA, ahubwo nta soni yagize zo gutitiriza kugeza abonye icyo yashakaga. Ese yaribeshye muri ibi? Yashoboraga se kuba yaravuze gusa ati, ‘Ahari si ubushake bw’Imana, mwene data. Mbabarira sinshoboye kugufasha’? Biragaragara ko atari byo kuko Kristo yakomeje uyu mugani avuga mu murongo wa 9 ati, ‘musabe muzahabwa, mushake muzabona, ...’ isezerano risobanutse kandi ridakuka.

Gusabira abandi dutitiriza ni igice mu bigize ishuri ryo kutwigisha ry’Imana. Aha na none nk’uko Murray abitwibutsa, ni igipimo cy’ubucuti bwacu n’Imana, cy’uko tuyizi nk’inshuti yacu na Data wo mu ijuru, n’uko twitangira kumenya Umwami no gushaka ubushake Bwe. Reba ukuntu iki gice cyibanda ku by’uko dukeneye amasengesho atitiriza, kandi ko, nk’uko Luka 18:1 hatwigisha, tutagomba kurorera.

Amasengesho akwiriye nk’iri asaba kwizera no kumenya ibyo Imana ishaka gusohoza - kumenya Imana n’umugambi wayo. Amasengesho akwiriye kandi ya buri gihe agomba kuba igihe cyo kutugerageza no kutwigisha, igihe cyo gushaka no kubona nk’uko tuza kubibona hepfo aha.

Amasengesho atitiriza ariyerekana

Amasengesho atitiriza yerekana ubumenyi bwacu n’ibyiringiro byacu dufitiye inshuti yacu na Data wa twese wo mu ijuru. Ahesha Imana icyubahiro kubera yerekana ko twishingikiriza ku bwenge n’urukundo by’Imana. Kutabona igisubizo cya vuba ntibidutera kwangwa cyangwa ngo bidutere ubwoba cyangwa gushidikanya no kwigunga. Kuki? Kubera ko tuzi inshuti yacu na Data wa twese wo mu ijuru. Mbese dusobanukirwa ibyo Imana ikora byose? Oya, haba na gato. Ese biroroshye? Oya.

Amasengesho atitiriza yerekana gukura ko kwizera kwacu cyangwa kudakura kwako kandi bityo na none iby’uko dukeneye kwizera, ubwenge n’iby’agaciro n’iby’ibanze Bibiliya yigisha hamwe no kwihangana no kureba ku by’iteka. Kwizera gukomeye cyangwa gukura kubona kandi kwizera amasengesho y’Imana, kukabishyira hamwe no gutitiriza nubwo igisubizo cyaba atari icy’ako kanya (Abaheburayo 11:13, 39). Kwizera gukomeye kumenya ko Imana isubiza mu gihe gikwiriye n’uburyo bukwiriye.

Ibi nta handi bivugwa neza nko mu masengesho y’Umwami wacu mbere yo kubambwa ku musaraba. Iyo Se amukuraho igikombe cy’umusaraba cyangwa se agahamagaza abamarayika ibihumbi icumi kumutabara umusaraba, tuba tukiri mu byaha byacu. Imana yasubije Umwana wayo, ariko mu gihe gikwiriye no mu buryo bukwiriye.

Amasengesho atitiriza ahinduka igihe cyo kubona ubushake bw’Imana

Amasengesho atitiriza arakenerwa kenshi ngo tuzane amasengesho yacu mu bushake bw’Imana, ni ukuvuga kuyakosora no kuyahindura ahesha Imana icyubahiro kandi aduhindukira imigisha ikomeye (reba Luka 18:38-41).

Umugani w’impumyi wo muri Luka 18:35-41 utwereka ko iyo mpumyi yatatse cyane isaba kugirirwa imbabazi, gusaba ikintu rusange yabisubiyemo kenshi yizeye kandi izi ko Yesu Kristo ashobora kandi ashaka kuyikiza. Ariko icyo Kristo yakoze ni iki? Mbese yahise ayikiza? Oya. Ahubwo yaravuze ati, ‘urashaka ko nkugirira nte?’ Biragaragara ko Kristo yari azi ko uwo mugabo ari impumyi kimwe n’uko Data wa twese azi ibyo dukeneye mbere y’uko tubisaba (Matayo 6:8). None ni kuki yamubajije icyo kibazo?

Ikibazo cy’Umwami Yesu yabajije impumyi kitwigisha ko Imana ishaka ko dusengera ibintu runaka kugira ngo tuzane ubumuntu bw’Imana, amasengesho ye, amahame ye, n’imigambi ye ngo byite kuri buri kantu ko mu bugingo bwacu no mu bugingo bw’abandi. Ubu buryo bwo gusenga buhuje n’amahame-shingiro twabonye ku byerekeye amasengesho. Ntabwo ari ibikorwa n’Itorero gusa cyangwa umuhango waryo udahuye n’ubwenge bwacu, amaranga-mutima n’ubushake, n’ibyihariye byo mu bugingo bwacu. Kuki? Kubera ko amasengesho ari uburyo bwo gusabana n’Imana no gukura mu by’Umwuka tugomba gushaka no gusobanukirwa kurushaho iby’Umwami n’ubushake bwe.

Ku bw’amasengesho atitiriza nyakuri, duhatirwa kureba neza ibyo dukeneye n’ibyo dusabira kuri kamere n’impamvu zabyo hamwe n’imigambi y’Imana muri ibyo bihe. Ibi bisaba igihe, gutekereza, kwisuzuma mu bugingo, n’ubusabane n’Imana. Bisaba ko dusabira kandi tugatekereza ku bibazo bimwe by’ingenzi bidufasha kumenya icyo Imana ishaka kutwigisha, ibibazo nka: ni ibiki bintera gukora ibyo nkora? Ibikenewe nyakuri ni ibihe? Mbese Imana ishaka ko nkora iki? Mbese Imana irashaka gusohoza iki? Mana, ushaka ko nsenga nte?

Amasengesho atitiriza no gushaka mu masengesho bidutera kubona ibyo dukeneye n’uko tudakwiriye iby’abandi bakeneye n’uko badakwiriye. Bifasha kuzana ahagaragara ibidutera kurushaho kwishingikiriza ku Mwami mu bintu byihariye. Bityo ntidupfa kuvuga ngo ‘Mwami, mfasha, cyangwa ngo fasha William uyu munsi.’ Ahubwo twavuga tuti: ‘Mwami, mpa imbaraga muri ibi, mu ngorane cyangwa intege-nke runaka.’

Amasengesho atitiriza aduhatira gushaka no gusuzuma ibyo dukeneye byihariye adufasha mu kugendana n’Imana kwacu no gukura kwacu mu kwizera no kwumvira. Iyo tubaye abantu bihariye duhatirwa gukora ibyihariye n’imizi y’ibibazo mu bugingo bwacu no mu bugingo bw’abandi. Ntidupfa gusaba ngo ‘Mwami, nkiza ibyaha,’ ahubwo dusaba ngo, ‘Mwami nshoboza kurwanya uburakari bwanjye, cyangwa kurwanya kubura urukundo kwanjye, cyangwa kurwanya ubwoba bwo guhagarara mu kuri, n’ibindi.’ Biduhatira kwemera abo turi bo n’ukuntu Imana ihagije ku byo dukenera byihariye.

None ni iyihe migisha y’amasengesho atitiriza?

Imigisha y’amasengesho atitiriza

Mwibuke ko turimo kuvuga ku byerekeye gutinda kw’igisubizo cy’Imana n’ibyo amasengesho atitiriza azanira abizera binyuze mu gushaka no kubona.

(1) Bikuza ubumwe bwacu n’Umwami. Kubwo gushaka no kubona, gusobanukirwa Imana kwacu, kwizera kwacu, ibyiringiro byacu, ibyishimo n’amahoro byacu (Abafilipi 4:1 n’ikurikira), hamwe n’imbaraga n’inkunga byacu ngo tugere mu munezero n’imbaraga by’Umwami imbere yo kubabazwa no gutotezwa, byose bitezwa imbere (reba 2 Abakorinto 12:7-10; 4:16-18).

(2) Biduha ibisubizo byihariye biva ku Mana, ariko mu gihe cyayo. Uko tureba inyuma, dushobora kubona kenshi ukuboko kw’Imana gusohoza imigambi yayo y’ubwenge dukwiriye kuyishimira mu bisubizo byihariye (2 Abakorinto 9:11-12). Gusabira ibintu byihariye bitubashisha gutegereza ibisubizo byihariye no kurushaho kubimenya iyo bije bityo tukabasha gushima no guhimbaza Imana ku bw’ibyo bisubizo.

Amahame y’ingenzi yo muri uyu mugani ni aya: niba kudakunda abandi nk’inshuti yikunda yo muri iyi si, gushobora kuneshwa ku bwo gutitiriza - ni gute amasengesho atitiriza atarushaho kuzana n’ingororano biva ku Nshuti yacu yo mu ijuru ari na We Data wa twese wo mu ijuru.

Iki gice ntikivuga ko Imana yanga kudusubiza kubera ko itadukunda cyangwa se ko idashaka uyitesha igihe. Nk’uko tuzabibona muri iki gice, Imana ni Data wa twese wo mu ijuru uzi ubwenge bwose kandi yimana ibisubizo by’amasengesho mu bwenge bwe buzira amakemwa no mu kugwa neza kwe kubera ko adapfa kuduha icyo ari cyo cyose keretse ikirusha ibindi kuba cyiza mu byo dukeneye.

Uko tugomba gusenga amasengesho atitiriza
(11:9)

Luka 11:9 ‘ Nanjye ndababwira nti: Musabe; muzahabwa; mushake; muzabona; mukomange ku rugi muzankingurirwa.’

Ibyanditswe mu Kigiriki bikoresha indagihe ihoraho kuri buri tegeko (‘musabe, mushake, mukomange’). Ariko nk’uko mwabibwirwa n’ibyavuzwe mbere, kubw’amasengesho atitiriza Ibyanditswe ntibitubwira gupfa gukomeza gusaba gusa. Hari ibirenze ibyo. ‘Nanjye ndababwira nti’ mu murongo wa 9 ni kago (kai + ego) na lego bisobanurwa ngo ‘nanjye ndavuga’. Cyangwa ‘ubu nanjye, ndavuga’. Ryakoreshejwe nk’uburyo bwihariye bwo kwigisha ukuri cyangwa inyigisho z’itorero zari zikeneye kujonjorwa muri uyu mugani. Ni nko kuvuga ngo, ‘dore ikibazo ni iki.’ Rikurikiwe n’amategeko atatu aduha, ukurikije iki gice amahame akurikira.

Gukomeza gusaba

Iri ni itegeko ryo gukomeza gusaba, gukomeza kwegera Uwiteka n’ibyo dukeneye n’ibibazo. Nta kwiheba ngo urekeraho. Nta kuva mu gusiganwa. Tugomba kwihanganira imbere y’Uwiteka mu byo gusaba. Ariko se gute?

Gukomeza gushaka

Bamwe babona ibi nk’ubundi buryo bwo kuvuga ikintu kimwe, ariko ndizera ko uku ari uguhamagarirwa gushaka no kubona mu gukomeza gusenga. Ndizera ko ibi bivuga byinshi kurusha gupfa gusaba cyangwa gushaka ikintu cyasabwe. Ibi bivuga ko, mu masengesho yacu no gusoma no kwiga Ijambo ry’Imana mu buryo busenga, tugomba gushaka ubushake bw’Imana n’inyigisho ishaka ko twiga.

Gusengera ubwenge no gusobanukirwa mu by’Umwuka n’ibyo Imana ikora muri byo (Yakobo 1:5)ni byo tugomba gushaka. Dukeneye kwibaza ibibazo nka: ni iki Imana ishaka kunyigisha cyangwa kutwigisha? Mbese Imana irashaka kutwereka indi nzira cyangwa se igihe cyayo ntikiragera? Mbese irashaka ko kwihangana kwacu, kwiringira kwacu, guhindura ibyo dutekereza kwacu, cyangwa irashaka kutwereka inkomoko z’ibyishimo by’ibinyoma cyangwa inkomoko zitera kwiyiringira no kwiyoborera ubugingo?

Gukomeza gukomanga

Uku ni uguhamagarira gutegereza Imana mu masengesho. Ntuzarambirwe ngo urekeraho. Ntuzahagarare. Guma aho, utegereze kandi ushyire ibibazo mu biganza by’Uwiteka n’igihe cye. Aha turabona ihame ryo gutegereza Uwiteka, ry’ubugingo bushingiye ku kwizera - kuruhukira mu kwizera ubwenge n’urukundo by’Imana. Igisubizo no guhishurwa kw’ibyo Imana ikora bizaza. Ni ukwiringira gusa ubugwaneza n’ubwenge bw’Imana.

Iyo dufite ibyo mu mutima wacu, Uwiteka aduha vuba guhanga amaso kuri kamere y’Imana n’ubumwe dufitanye na Yo nka Data wa twese wo mu ijuru kubwo kuba abizera Kristo. Kuki? Kudutera inkunga yo gukomeza gusaba, gushaka, no gukomanga. Imana ni Data wa twese wo kwiringirwa.

Isezerano ry’igisubizo cy’Imana cyizewe
(11:10)

Luka 11:10 ‘Kuk’umuntu wes’usab’ahabwa; ushats’abona; n’ukomanga, arakingurirwa.’

Uyu murongo uvuga gusa ko abakomeza gusaba, gushaka, no gukomanga, bagasaba batitiriza, bazabona ibisubizo bivuye ku Uwiteka. Bazahabwa, bazabona, kandi Imana izabafungurira urugi.

Birafasha kubona ko indagihe ari yo ikoreshwa kuri buri nshinga yerekeye igisubizo cyizewe cy’Imana (‘arahabwa, arabona, ukomanga’). Mu murongo wa 9, igihe kizaza ni cyo cyakoreshejwe, ariko si ko biri hano, nibura si ko biri kuri ziriya nshinga ebyiri za mbere. Hari ingorane mu gusoma ibyanditswe n’intoke cyane cyane ku nshinga ya gatatu kandi biragoye kumenya na gihamya niba harakoreshejwe indagihe cyangwa inzagihe. Birashoboka ko ari indagihe kimwe no mu nshinga ebyiri za mbere.

Indagihe yerekana kubaho kw’igisubizo cyizewe cy’Imana mu buryo burushijeho kugaragara. Ibi bishobora kuba ibyo twita inzagihe ya hafi yerekana igikorwa kiba kitarakorwa, ariko kibonwa nk’ikigomba gukorwa by’ukuri ku buryo mu bitekerezo kibonwa nk’ukuri kwo mu ndagihe. Cyangwa se, ishobora kuba indagihe idasanzwe y’ihame rusange kandi ry’igihe cyose. Uwiteka aha abasaba batitiriza mu masengesho. Ni ko Imana ikora. Umwami aratwiringiza ko Imana itwitaho kandi ikagira uruhare mu bugingo bwacu ngo ituyobore, iduhindure, kandi isubize amasengesho yacu.

Ubu rero mu gushyigikira kwizera kwacu ni ukwerekana impamvu tugomba kwiringira igisubizo cy’Imana, n’uko Imana itwitaho, Umukiza yerekeza ibitekerezo byacu ku BUNTU BUSAGA bw’Imana mu kudukangurira urukundo rw’Imana rwera kandi rutarondoreka nka Data wa twese wo mu Ijuru.

Ihame ry’ubuntu busaze bw’Imana
(11:11-13)

Luka 11:11-13 ‘ Ninde muri mw’ufit’umwana, yamusab’umutsima, akamuh’ibuye? Cyangwa ifi, akamuh’inzoka? 12 Cyangwa yamusab’igi, akamuha skorpiyo? 13 None se, ko muzi guh’abana bany’ibyiza, kandi muri babi, So wo mw’ijuru ntazarushaho rwose guh’Umwuka Wera abamusabye?’.

Kugereranya na ba data ku mubiri (imirongo 11-12)

Imana ni Data wa twese wo mu ijuru udashobora kugira icyo atwima nka data wo ku mubiri.

Matayo 7:11 ‘Ko muri babi, kandi mukaba muzi guh’abana bany’ibyiza, none So wo mw’ijuru ntazarushaho guh’ibyiz’ababimusabye?’.

Abaroma 5:9 ‘Nkanswe none, ubwo tumaze gutsindishirizwa n’amaraso ye, ntituzarushaho gukizw’umujinya w’Imana na We?’.

Abaroma 8:32 ‘Mbes’ubw’itimany’Umwana wayo, ikamutanga ku bwacu twese, izabur’ite kumuduhana n’ibindi byose?’.

Ingero zisaze zo muri iyi mirongo ya 11-12 yerekana igipimo, icyitegererezo rusange mu bantu. Iyo amoko cyangwa ibihugu bisubiye inyuma kandi mu buryo bw’Umwuka bikagwa hasi, abana barakurikira, ariko muri rusange ababyeyi ntibica aya mahame. Ntibaha abana babo impano zangiza zo kubisekera. Akenshi ntibabaha iby’ubwenge, ariko akenshi babakorera ibyo bakeka ko ari byiza kuruta ibindi.

Izi ngero zirashyigikira iby’uko Imana, kubera uwo ari We nk’Iyera n’Imana y’Inyabwenge, ni Yo yonyine ishobora kudusubiza mu bugwaneza n’urukundo byayo bitunganye.

Ibitandukanye Kuri Data wo mu Ijuru (umurongo 13)

Kubera ko Imana itunganye kandi itarondoreka mu mico yayo yose no kubaho kwayo, nta kindi ikora atari ikiruta ibindi. Ikora byinshi kurusha ba data bo ku mubiri kuko bo, nubwo bashaka iteka kuduha ibyiza, baracyari abanyabyaha kandi ubwenge bwabo bufite aho butarenga.

Muri uyu murongo turabona gutandukana kwa kamere n’ukw’impano. Ibitandukanye by’uko impano duhabwa na ba data bo ku mubiri zifite iherezo kandi zikaba ari ibintu bisaza; Data wo mu ijuru aduha ibiri hejuru n’ibiruta ibindi, iby’ingirakamaro kandi birimo buri impano yindi - Aduha Umwuka Wera.

Ariko se bite ku byo gusabira guhabwa Umwuka Wera? Mbese iri sengesho ryasengwa mu buryo bwemewe muri ibi bihe turimo? OYA! Ikintu kimwe cyangwa bibiri ni byo bikora:

(1) Mu Isezerano rya Kera, impano Imana yari yarasezeranije ubwoko bwayo yari Umwuka Wera (reba Ezekiyeli 36:25-27; Yoweli 2:28-29). Bityo Umwami yarimo abwira abigishwa be ko muri icyo gihe cy’agateganyo, mbere y’uko basukwaho Umwuka Wera nk’uko basezeranijwe mu Isezerano rya Kera, baramutse basabye mu masengesho atitiriza, bashobora guturwamo no guhabwa imbaraga n’Umwuka.

(2) Cyangwa se Umwami wacu yarimo avuga ko ibyo Data wa twese yasezeranije bizasohora igihe Abisirayeli bazahindukira bakihana. Muri icyo gihe, Kristo ntiyemerwaga, bityo isezerano ryashoboraga kwigizwayo. Kristo yarimo avuga ko badakwiriye kureka ibyiringiro, ahubwo ko bakwiriye gukomeza gusenga no gutegereza impano yagombaga kuza nyuma yo guhabwa ubwiza kwe cyangwa nyuma y’urupfu rwe no kuzuka kwe (reba Yohana 7:37-39). Mu cyumba cyo hejuru; ibi ni byo abigishwa bakoze neza (Ibyakozwe 1:14).

Njye ku giti cyanjye mpitamo buriya buryo bwa mbere buri hejuru aha.

Umusozo no gushyira mu bikorwa

Kubera kubura ubwenge kwacu no kuba dufite aho tutarenga, kandi kubera kamere yacu y’icyaha, iyaba Imana yasubizaga amasengesho yacu yose uko dusabye, tuba twarahawe ibyo twagereranya n’ibuye, inzoka, cyangwa sikorpiyo. Ariko Imana nka Data wa twese wo mu ijuru kubwa Yesu Kristo (Nk’uzi ibyiza kuruta ibindi, uzi byose, kandi ushobora ibyiza kurusha ibindi ) arategereza kugeza aho, ku bw’amasengesho atitiriza yo gusaba, gushaka no gukomanga, amasengesho yacu ahindurwamo ubushake bw’Imana (iyo yari atandukanye na bwo) cyangwa kugeza aho tumenyeye inyigisho ishaka kutwigisha binyuze mu imenyerezwa ry’intango y’amasengesho atitiriza yo gusabira abandi.

Ububasha bwo kugira ukwizera Imana nk’uku buturuka ku buryo tumuzi n’ibyiringiro byacu mu bushake bwe. Kugeza ubushake bw’Imana bumenywe bukumvikana mu byo dusaba, amasengesho abamo ibice bibiri:

(1) Amasengesho y’ibyo dutegereza twiringiye no kwizera tuzi ko Imana izasubiza mu gihe cyayo ubwayo kandi kubw’ubwenge bwayo.

(2) Amasengesho yo kwicisha bugufi no kwiringira nk’uko Umwami yasenze ati, ‘Ariko Data, ntibibe uko njye nshaka ahubwo uko wowe ushaka.’

Bumwe mu buryo dusengamo bwagombye kubamo gusaba Data wa twese kudufasha kumenya ubushake bwe ku byerekeye ibyo turimo gusabira. Hagati aho, amasengesho yacu yagombye kuba ko Imana yatubashisha kuruhukira muri Yo no gukurira no kwigira mu byo ikora.

Turiho mu isi yiyitaho ubwayo yatwawe n’iby’ubucuruzi, ireba ku by’ubugingo n’idini ririmo, mu by’ibanze igira ibitekerezo byo kwikunda. Kandi iki gitekerezo cy’iby’isi ku bakristo gishira vuba. Abakristo benshi babona imigisha n’ibyo Imana yabahaye muri Kristo nk’ibigenewe kuba ibyishimo no kumererwa neza gusa. Muri ibi bihe dukunze kwishimisha naho kumererwa neza kwacu kukaba idini. Nkuko Packer abivuga :

Twita cyane ku kugera ku bintu by’icyubahiro aho gushimisha Imana. Umukristo usanzwe muri ibi bihe, cyane cyane mu bihugu bivuga icyongereza, usanga yarashidukiye ibitabo ngo byigisha uko ibintu bikorwa, bitujyana mu bumwe burushijeho gutera imbere, kurushaho kwishimisha mu busambanyi, kuba umuntu kurushaho, kugera ku byo dushoboye byose, kurushaho kwishimisha buri munsi, kugabanya umubyibuho wacu, kurushaho kurya neza, gukoresha neza amafaranga yacu, guha imiryango yacu isura irushijeho gushimisha, n’ibindi. Ku bantu bakunda guha Imana icyubahiro kurusha ibindi, ibi nta gushidikanya ni ibintu byemewe; ariko ibitabo byigisha uko ibintu bikorwa bibashyira mu buryo bwo kwiyitaho budushimisha mu bugingo aho kugira ngo icyubahiro cy’Imana abe ari cyo kiba mu byo twitaho kurusha ibindi.⁹⁵

Ahubwo Ibyanditswe bitwigisha ko ukumererwa neza duhabwa n’Imana ari ko kudufasha gukomeza abandi no gukomezwa ubwacu dukura kuri Yo (2 Abakorinto 1:3-4). Mu yandi magambo, kimwe n’Umukiza wacu wazanywe no gukorera abandi aho gukorerwa, ubugingo bw’umukristo bugomba kwita ku bandi.

Umwe mu migambi y’Imana ku itorero ni uko tugomba kuyireka ngo yigaragarize muri twe nk’ibisonga byiza by’ubuntu bwinshi bwayo. Igisonga ni umucunga w’ibintu, si nyirabyo. Ni uwo gucunga iby’undi. Imana ni Yo nyir’ibintu, naho twe turi ababicunga mu busonga bunyuranye yaduhaye. Birumvikana ko ibi birimo ubugingo bwose. Ariko kuba ibisonga byiza by’ubuntu bwayo, tugomba kumenya neza ko iby’ubusonga Imana itubaraho izabitubaza. Ibyanditswe bishyira ibi mu bice byinshi. Urugero, abana ni impano y’Imana kandi ni kimwe mu bice by’ubusonga bwacu. Dukurikije inshingano zo kuremwa mu Itangiriro igice cya mbere, tugomba kuba ibisonga byiza byo kurema kwayo. Ariko kubera intego z’iyi nyigisho, tuzareba ibice bine gusa by’ubusonga.

1. Ubusonga mu by’IGIHE – Gucunguza buri gihe uburyo umwete.

2. Ubusonga mu by’ITALANTO - kumenya no gukoresha impano z’Umwuka n’italanto zacu za kamere ku bw’imigisha y’abandi no ku bw’icyubahiro cy’Imana.

3. Ubusonga mu by’UKURI kw’Imana - kwiyongera ubwacu mu byo kuvuga Ubutumwa no guhindura abandi abigishwa.

4. Ubusonga mu by’UBUTUNZI - kwibikira ubutunzi bw’ijuru bukomoka ku kwizera.

Buri ngingo muri izi yari ikwiriye igitabo cyayo cyuzuye kandi hari benshi babikoze batyo. Icyakora, kubwo gukurikiza intego yo gushinga urufatiro rwo gukura gikristo, ibice bimwe bizajya bigirwa bigufi mu gihe umwanya mwinshi uzahabwa iby’ivugabutumwa no guhindura abandi abigishwa.
