Mu nzira ijya i Damasiko

UYU mugabo uryamye hasi uzi uwo ari we? Ni Sawuli. Wibuke ko ari wa wundi warindaga ibishura by’abantu bateye Sitefano amabuye. Reba uriya mucyo urabagirana! Bigenze bite?

Sitefano amaze kwicwa, Sawuli yafashe iya mbere mu guhiga abigishwa ba Yesu kugira ngo abagirire nabi. Yinjiraga muri buri nzu akabahubuzamo maze akabashyira muri gereza. Nuko abigishwa benshi bahungira mu yindi midugudu, batangira gutangarizayo ‘ubutumwa bwiza.’ Ariko Sawuli ajya no muri iyo midugudu gushakirayo abigishwa ba Yesu. Aha ngaha, yari mu nzira ajya i Damasiko. Ariko, igihe yari ari mu nzira agenda, habaye ikintu gitangaje.

Mu buryo butunguranye, yagize atya abona agoswe n’umucyo uvuye mu ijuru, maze agwa hasi nk’uko tubibona hano. Nuko ijwi riravuga riti ‘Sawuli, Sawuli! Undenganyiriza iki?’ Abari kumwe na Sawuli babonaga uwo mucyo kandi bakumva ijwi, ariko ntibasobanukirwe ibyavugwaga.

Nuko Sawuli arabaza ati ‘uri nde Mwami?’

Rya jwi riravuga riti ‘ndi Yesu, uwo urenganya.’ Yesu yavuze atyo bitewe n’uko igihe Sawuli yarenganyaga abigishwa be, yumvaga ari nk’aho na we ubwe arimo arenganywa.

Nuko Sawuli arabaza ati ‘nkore iki Mwami?’

Yesu aramubwira ati ‘haguruka, ujye i Damasiko. Nugerayo, uzabwirwa icyo ugomba gukora.’ Sawuli yarabyutse, ariko arambuye amaso ntiyagira icyo abona. Yari yabaye impumyi! Nuko abari kumwe na we bamufata ukuboko, bamujyana i Damasiko.

Icyo gihe Yesu yabwiye umwe mu bigishwa be b’i Damasiko ati ‘Ananiya, haguruka ujye mu nzira yitwa Igororotse. Nugera ku nzu ya Yuda, ubaririze umuntu witwa Sawuli. Naramwitoranyirije ngo ambere umukozi wihariye.’

Ananiya yarumviye. Igihe yabonanaga na Sawuli, yamurambitseho ibiganza maze aravuga ati ‘Umwami yanyohereje kugira ngo wongere kureba kandi wuzuzwe umwuka wera.’ Uwo mwanya utuntu tumeze nk’imvuvu tumuva mu maso tugwa hasi, maze yongera kubona.

Sawuli yakoreshejwe cyane mu kubwiriza abantu bo mu mahanga menshi. Yaje kwitwa intumwa Pawulo. Tuziga byinshi kuri we. Mbere na mbere ariko, reka turebe icyo Imana yohereje Petero gukora.
