Mesiya ashika

YEHOVA yoba yofashije abantu kumenya Mesiya yari yarasezeranywe? Egome. Rimbura ivyo Imana yakoze. Hari haciye nk’ibinjana bine Ivyanditswe vy’igiheburayo birangiye kwandikwa. Mu gisagara citwa Nazareti, mu karere ko mu Buraruko bwa Galilaya, inkumi yitwa Mariya yaragendewe n’umuntu itari yiteze namba. Umumarayika yitwa Gaburiyeli yaramwiyeretse maze amubwira ko Imana yari igiye gukoresha inguvu ikora yayo, ari yo mpwemu yayo nyeranda, kugira ngo itume asama inda maze avyare umwana w’umuhungu, naho yari akiri isugi. Uwo mwana ni we yobaye wa Mwami yari amaze igihe kirekire yarasezeranywe, akaba yoganje ibihe bidahera! Uwo mwana yobaye ari Umwana w’Imana bwite, Imana ikaba yokwimuriye ubuzima bwiwe mu nda ya Mariya ibukuye mw’ijuru.

Mariya yaremeye abigiranye ukwicisha bugufi ico gikorwa giteye akoba yari ashinzwe. Uwari amureheje, uno akaba yari umubaji yitwa Yozefu, yarubakanye na we inyuma y’aho Imana irungikiye umumarayika ngo amukure amazinda ku bijanye n’igituma Mariya yari yibungenze. Ariko none, bite ho ku bijanye n’ubuhanuzi bwavuga yuko Mesiya yovukiye i Betelehemu? (Mika 5:2) Ico gisagara gitoyi cari nko ku bilometero 140 uvuye i Nazareti!

Hari umutegetsi w’Umuroma yategetse ko abantu bose bisansumisha. Abantu basabwa kuja kwiyandikishiriza mu gisagara bavukiyemwo. Bigaragara ko Yozefu na Mariya bompi bari bavukiye i Betelehemu, akaba ari co gituma Yozefu yaciye atwara umukenyezi wiwe yari yibungenze muri ico gisagara. (Luka 2:3) Mariya yibarukiye mu ruhongore rubayabaye, aca aryamika uruyoya rwiwe mu bwato bw’inka. Imana yaciye irungika abamarayika isinzi kugira ngo babwire umugwi w’abungere bari ku musozi yuko umwana yari ahejeje kuvuka ari we Mesiya yari yarasezeranywe, canke Kristu.

Mu nyuma, hari n’abandi bokwemeje ko Yezu ari we Mesiya yari yarasezeranywe. Umuhanuzi Yesaya yari yaravuze ko hobonetse umuntu yociriye inzira igikorwa gihambaye cane Mesiya yokoze. (Yesaya 40:3) Iyo nteguza yari Yohani Umubatizi. Igihe yabona wa mugabo Yezu, yavuze n’ijwi rirenga ati: “Raba, Umwagazi w’intama w’Imana ukuraho igicumuro c’isi!” Bamwebamwe mu bigishwa ba Yohani baciye ubwo nyene bakurikira Yezu. Umwe muri bo yavuze ati: “Twabonye Mesiya.”—Yohani 1:29, 36, 41.

Harabonetse ibindi bimenyamenya. Igihe Yohani yabatiza Yezu, Yehova ubwiwe yaravuze ari mw’ijuru. Abicishije ku mpwemu nyeranda, yaragenye Yezu ngo abe Mesiya maze avuga ati: “Uyu ni Umwana wanje, umukundwa, uwo nashimye.” (Matayo 3:16, 17) Mesiya yari amaze igihe kirekire yarasezeranywe yari ashitse!

Ivyo none vyabaye ryari? Mu mwaka wa 29 G.C., igihe nyene ya myaka 483 yari yaravuzwe na Daniyeli yarangira. Emwe, ico ni kimwe mu bimenyamenya ntasubirwamwo vyerekana ko Yezu ari Mesiya, canke Kristu. Ariko none ni ubutumwa ubuhe yokwamamaje igihe yobaye ari ng’aha kw’isi?
