7 Ka tureebe ebyahikire ahari mutabani wa Asa orikwetwa Yehoshafaati. Akaba aine emitwarize mirungi mingi ei Yehova yaabaire naasiima. Kandi ku yaabaire ayesiga Yehova, akaba akora ebintu birungi. Kwonka nabwo haine ebi yaacwiremu ebigwire. Nk’eky’okureeberaho, akakora entebeekanisa ngu omutabani ashwere muhara w’Omugabe mubi Ahabu. Bwanyima, Yehoshafaati akeegaita ahari Ahabu kurwanisa Abasiria, n’obu nabi Mikaaya yaamurabwire kutakikora. Omu rutaro, Abasiria bakatangiza Yehoshafaati kandi baateeraho kumwita. (2 Obusingye 18:1-32) Ku yaagarukire Yerusaalemu, nabi Yehu akamubuuza ati: “Oshemereire kuha ababi emikono, n’okukunda abarikwanga” Yehova?—Shoma 2 Obusingye 19:1-3.
Teekateeka Ahari Rukundo ya Yehova Etahwaho
8 Yehova naayenda tumanye ngu naatukunda kandi ngu tarikuta mutima aha nshobe zaitu. Naatusheruramu ebirungi. (2 Bus. 16:9) Nk’eky’okureeberaho, eki nikyo yaakozire aha Mugabe Yehoshafaati owa Yuda. Eizooba rimwe, Yehoshafaati akaikiriza kugyenda n’Omugabe Ahabu owa Israeli kurwanisa Abaasiria omuri Ramosi-gileadi. N’obu baanabi 400 b’ebishuba baraabe baahamiize Ahabu ngu naija kusingura, nabi wa Yehova orikwetwa Mikaaya akooreka ngu Ahabu akaba naaza kusingurwa. Ahabu akafeera omu rutaro, kandi Yehoshafaati nawe akaba ari hakye kufeerayo. Ku yaagarukire Yerusaalemu, akahanwa munonga ahabw’okwegaita ahari Ahabu. N’obu kiraabe kiri kityo, Yehu mutabani wa Hanani omuhanuuzi, akagambira Yehoshafaati ati: “Omuriiwe harimu n’ebirungi.”—2 Bus. 18:4, 5, 18-22, 33, 34; 19:1-3.
9 Yehoshafaati omu kutandika kw’obutegyeki bwe akaba aragiire abanyiginya, Abaleevi, n’abanyamurwa kugyenda nibaraba omu ndembo zoona eza Yuda kwegyesa abantu be Ebiragiro bya Yehova. Kampeyini ekagyenda gye n’abantu b’amahanga agetooroire Israeli gaatandika kutiina Yehova. (2 Bus. 17:3-10) Buzima, Yehoshafaati akakora ekintu ky’obushema, kwonka Yehova akaguma naareeba ebintu birungi ebi yaabaire akozire. Ebiri omu Baibuli ebirikumukwataho nibituhwera kumanya ngu n’obu turaabe tutahikiriire, Yehova naija kuguma naatukunda twateeraho kumushemeza.

Heereza Yehova n’Omutima Gwawe Gwona!
10 Mutabani wa Asa Yehoshafaati ‘akagyendera omu muhanda gwa Asa ishe.’ (2 Obusingye 20:31, 32) Mu muringo ki? Yehoshafaati, akahiga abantu kugumizamu nibaramya Yehova nka ishe. Akoohereza abashaija omu ndembo z’omuri Yuda kwegyesa abantu ebiri omu ‘kitabo kya Mukama eky’ebiragiro.’ (2 Obusingye 17:7-10) Nangwa akaza n’omu bicweka ebiri omu bugabe bw’obukiizi-bwa-bumosho obwa Israeli, kuhika omu bantu abari omu nsi y’ebibungo eya Efuraimu, “yaabagarura ahari” Yehova. (2 Obusingye 19:4) Yehoshafaati akaba ari omugabe “owaabaire naasherura Mukama n’omutima gwe gwona.”—2 Obusingye 22:9.
11 Obunaku obu, Yehova naayenda ngu abantu omu nsi yoona begyesibwe ebirikumukwataho, kandi twena nitubaasa kuhwera omu murimo ogu. Oine ekigyendererwa ky’okwejumba omu murimo ogu buri kwezi?

Nk’oku Yehoshafaati yaateireho kuhwera abandi kugaruka kuheereza Yehova, nitubaasa kuhwera abatakibuurira. Kandi, abareeberezi nibatebeekanisa kutaayaayira n’okuhwera ababingirwe omu kibiina, abarikubaasa kuba baarekire ebibi byabo ebyenyima.

Tibarikwikiririza omuri Ruhanga ahabw’okubonabona kwingi okuri omu nsi. Nibanga Baibuli ahakuba nibareeba oburyarya bw’abeebembezi b’ediini abarikugira ngu nibagikuratira. Abandi beemariire aha mirimo yaabo, amaka gaabo n’oburemeezi obu baine kandi baaremwa kureeba oku Baibuli erikubaasa kubahwera. Nitubaasa kuguma tuta twine okushemererwa abu turikubuurira baaba batarikureeba omugasho gw’obutumwa bwaitu?
12 Yoreka ngu noobafaho. Baingi abaabandize kworeka ngu tibarikufayo aha makuru marungi babaasize kuhinduka ahabw’okureeba oku ababuurizi barikubafaho. (Shoma Abafilipi 2:4.) Nk’eky’okureeberaho, David, owaaba yaagambirweho naagira ati: “Omuntu yaagira ngu tarikwenda kuhurikiza, nitubiika Baibuli nari ebitabo byaitu reero tumugira tuti: ‘Nitwenda kumanya ekirikukureetera kwehurira otyo.’” Abantu nibabaasa kumanya yaaba nitubafaho. Nibabaasa kutaijuka eki twagambire, kwonka nibaija kwijuka oku twabatwariize. Ou turikubuurira n’obu yaakuba atatwikiriize kugamba, nitubaasa kutwaza gye kandi n’endeebeka yaitu ey’aha maisho neebaasa kworeka ngu nitumufaho
13 Nitworeka ngu nitufayo twahindura obutumwa bwaitu kuhikaana n’ebi abu turikubuurira barikukunda. Nk’eky’okureeberaho, hariho obuhame oburikworeka ngu eka ei orikubuurira erimu abaana? Obundi abazaire nibabaasa kuba nibenda kumanya obuhabuzi bwa Baibuli oburikukwata aha kworora abaana nari okugira okushemererwa omu ka. Mbwenu shi enyigi z’abantu enyingi ziriho ekufuru? Nitubaasa kugamba aha kuhenda ebiragiro n’okutiina okwijwire omu nsi, reero bwanyima omuntu ayende kumanya obu embeera egyo eraahwereho kimwe. Omu mbeera zoona, teeraho kuhwera abu orikubuurira kumanya oku obuhabuzi bwa Baibuli burikubaasa kubahwera. Katarína, owaaba yaagambirweho naagira ati: “Ninyeijutsya oku amazima gampwereire kugira embeera nungi.” N’ekirikurugamu, Katarína naagamba aine omuhimbo, kandi n’abu arikugaaniira nabo nibakireeba.
14 Ikiriza abandi kukuhwera. Omu kyasha ky’okubanza, entumwa Paulo akeegyesa Timoseo obukodyo bw’okubuurira n’okwegyesa kandi yaamuhiga kubukoresa kuhwera abandi. (1 Kor. 4:17) Nka Timoseo, naitwe nitubaasa kwegyera ahari abo abamazire obwire buraingwa omu buheereza. (Shoma Enfumu 27:17.) Teekateeka aha ky’okureeberaho ky’ow’eishe-emwe Shawn. Akamara obwire arikuheereza nka payoniya omu kyaro ahu abantu baingi baabaire nibakunda ediini yaabo. Niki ekyamuhweraire kuguma aine okushemererwa? Naagira ati: “Nkaba niinteeraho kugira ou naabuurira nawe kyaba nikibaasika. Tutakahikire aha nju endiijo tukaba tugyenda nitugaaniira aha kuboneza emyegyeseze yaitu. Nk’eky’okureeberaho, tukaba tugaaniira aha muringo ogu twakwatamu ou twabuurira, reero tureeba oku turikubaasa kutwaza twahikwaho embeera nk’egyo omurundi ogundi.”
15 Shaba Yehova kukuhwera. Shaba Yehova kukuhwera buri murundi waaza kwejumba omu kubuurira. Twaba tutaine buhwezi bw’omwoyo gurikwera, tihaine eki turikubaasa kuhikiiriza. (Zab. 127:1; Luk. 11:13) Waaba nooshaba Yehova obuhwezi gamba kyenyini eki orikwenda. Nk’eky’okureeberaho, mushabe kukuhwera kubona omuntu oine ekihika ky’okumwegaho kandi oyeteekateekire kuhurikiza.

(2Bus 21:1-6, 11-14) Obutegyeki bwe bwona bukaba bwijwire obutabanguko burikureetwaho ab’omuri Yuda n’ab’aheeru. Edomu ekabanza kugoma; bwanyima Libuna nayo ekagoma yaaruga hari Yuda. (2Bag 8:20-22) Omu baruha ei nabi Eliya yaahandikire Yehoraamu akamurabura ati: “Reeba, [Yehova] naija kureeta ekibonaboneso kihango aha bantu baawe, aha baana baawe, aha bakazi baawe n’aha bintu byawe byona, kandi naiwe wenka noija kurwara endwara mbi munonga omu mara,” okuhitsya obu amara gwawe garashohore ahabw’okurwara buri izooba.—2Bus 21:12-15.

‘Yogera Ekigambo kya Katonda n’Obuvumu’
6 Engeri emu mwe tuyitira okufuna omwoyo gwa Katonda omutukuvu kwe kumusaba agutuwe. Yesu yagamba abaali bamuwuliriza nti: “Obanga mmwe ababi mumanyi okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ow’omu ggulu talisingawo nnyo okuwa omwoyo omutukuvu abo abamusaba!” (Luk. 11:13) Mazima ddala, tusaanidde okusaba Katonda bulijjo atuwe omwoyo gwe omutukuvu. Bwe tuba nga tutya okwenyigira mu ngeri ezimu ez’obuweereza gamba ng’okubuulira ku nguudo, okubuulira embagirawo, oba okubuulira mu bifo omukolerwa bizineesi, tusobola okusaba Yakuwa atuwe omwoyo gwe gutuyambe okufuna obuvumu.—1 Bas. 5:17.
7 Ekyo kyennyini omukyala Omukristaayo ayitibwa Rosa kye yakola. Lumu ng’ali ku mulimu, musomesa munne yasoma ku kutulugunyizibwa kw’abaana okwali mu ssomero eddala. Mukozi munne oyo yawulira bubi nnyo olw’ebyo bye yali asomye era yagamba nti, “Ensi eno eraga wa?” Rosa yali tasobola kuleka kakisa kano kumuyitako nga tawadde bujulirwa. Yakola ki okusobola okufuna obuvumu? Rosa agamba nti: “Nnasaba Yakuwa ampe omwoyo gwe gunnyambe.” Bw’atyo yasobola okuwa obujulirwa era n’akola enteekateeka bongere okwogera ku nsonga eyo. Ate lowooza ku kawala ak’emyaka etaano akayitibwa Milane, akabeera mu kibuga New York. Milane agamba nti: “Bwe mba sinnagenda ku ssomero nze ne maama tusooka kusaba Yakuwa.” Kiki kye basaba? Milane afune obuvumu okwogera ebikwata ku Katonda we! Maama we agamba nti: “Kino kiyambye Milane okunnyonnyola ensonga lwaki takuza mazaalibwa na nnaku nkulu.” Ebyokulabirako bino tebiraga nti okusaba kusobola okutuyamba okufuna obuvumu?
8 Ate lowooza ku ekyo ekyayamba nnabbi Yeremiya okufuna obuvumu. Yakuwa bwe yamulonda okuweereza nga nnabbi eri amawanga, Yeremiya yagamba nti: “Siyinza kwogera: kubanga ndi mwana muto.” (Yer. 1:4-6) Kyokka ekiseera bwe kyagenda kiyitawo, Yeremiya yakola omulimu gw’okubuulira n’obunyiikivu bangi ne batuuka n’okumuyita nnabbi ayogera ku bubi obwereere. (Yer. 38:4) Okumala emyaka egisukka mu 65, yalangirira emisango gya Yakuwa n’obuvumu. Olw’okuba yali amanyiddwa nnyo mu Isiraeri olw’okubuulira n’obuvumu, oluvannyuma lw’emyaka nga 600 Yesu bwe yayogera n’obuvumu abamu baalowooza nti Yeremiya yali azuukidde. (Mat. 16:13, 14) Kiki ekyayamba nnabbi Yeremiya okuggwamu okutya? Yagamba nti: “Mu mutima gwange [ekigambo kya Katonda kyali] ng’omuliro ogubuubuuka ogusibibwa mu magumba gange, era nga nkooye okuzibiikiriza so siyinza kubeerera awo.” (Yer. 20:9) Yee, olw’amaanyi g’ekigambo kya Yakuwa Yeremiya yasobola okwogera n’obuvumu.
9 Mu bbaluwa ye eri Abebbulaniya, omutume Pawulo yawandiika nti: “Ekigambo kya Katonda kiramu, kya maanyi, era kyogi okusinga ekitala ekiriko obwogi ku njuyi zaakyo zombi, era kiyingirira ddala n’okwawula ne kyawula obulamu n’omwoyo, ennyingo n’obusomyo, era kisobola okutegeera ebirowoozo n’ebiruubirirwa by’omutima.” (Beb. 4:12) Obubaka obuva eri Katonda, oba ekigambo kye, busobola okutuyamba nga bwe bwayamba Yeremiya. Kijjukire nti wadde ng’abantu be baakozesebwa okuwandiika Baibuli, amagezi agagirimu si ga bantu, kubanga yaluŋŋamizibwa Katonda. Mu 2 Peetero 1:21, tusoma nti: “Tewali mulundi na gumu obunnabbi lwe bwali buleeteddwa olw’okwagala kw’abantu, naye abantu baayogeranga ebyava eri Katonda nga balina obulagirizi bw’omwoyo omutukuvu.” Bwe tufuba okwesomesa Baibuli, ebirowoozo byaffe bijjula obubaka obwaluŋŋamizibwa omwoyo omutukuvu. (Soma 1 Abakkolinso 2:10.) Obubaka obwo busobola okubeera “ng’omuliro ogubuubuuka” munda mu ffe, ne kiba nti tetusobola kubusirikira.
10 Okusobola okuganyulwa mu ebyo bye tusoma mu Baibuli, tulina okwesomesa mu ngeri esobozesa bye tusoma okututuuka ku mitima.

Okukola ekyo kyandimuyambye okufuna essanyu ng’alangirira obubaka obwo—nga bumuwoomera ng’omubisi gw’enjuki.—Soma Ezeekyeri 2:8–3:4, 7-9.
