7 Omunywani we Lazaro obwakaba afiire, Yesu akagambira abegeswa be ngu: “enganjani yaitu Lazaro agwijagiire.” Baitu Yesu akaba atarukumanyisa ngu Lazaro akaba ahumwire buhumura. Yesu akoongera yagamba: “Lazaro afire.” (Yohana 11:11-14) Yesu akalengesaniza okufa n’okugwijagira. Atagambe ngu Lazaro akaba agenzere omu iguru rundi ngu akaba ali n’abanyabuzaale be abaali bafiire. Kandi atagambe ngu Lazaro akaba n’abonabonesebwa omu murro rundi ngu akaba nagenda kuzaarwa ogwakabiri nk’omuntu rundi nk’ekisoro. Tinikwo y’agambire. Baitu akooleka ngu Lazaro obu yafiire akaba nasisana n’omuntu ow’agwijagiire. Ebyahandiikirwe ebindi nabyo birengesaniza okufa n’okugwijagira. Baibuli egamba ngu Sitefano akateerwa amabaale “yagwijagira” ekirukumanyisa ngu akafa. (Engeso Ezabakwenda 7:60) Omukwenda Paulo nauwe akagamba ngu Abakristaayo abamu “bakagwijagira.”—1 Abakolinso 15:6.
8. Tumanyire tuta ngu Ruhanga atahange abantu okufa?
8 Ruhanga akaba ahangire Adamu na Haawa baikaleho akasumi kake nukwo bafe? Nangwa! Yahwe akabahanga nukwo baikale omu nsi ebiro n’ebiro kandi batarukurwara. Ruhanga obwakaba nahanga abantu, akabatamu ekihika ky’okugonza kwomeera ebiro byona. (Omugambizi 3:11) Yahwe tagonza abantu okukaikura n’okufa nk’oku omuzaire atarukusobora kusemererwa habw’omwana we kukaikura n’okufa. Baitu Ruhanga obwaraaba yatuhangire kwomeera ebiro byona, habwaki tufa?

9 Omu rugonjo rwa Adeni, Yahwe akagambira Adamu: “Ha muti gwona ogwomu rugonjo olyehoga nkokwogonza. Baitu ha muti ogwokumanya oburungi nobubi otaligulyaho. Baitu omu kiro ekyoliguliramu, mazimakwo olifa.” (Okubanza 2:9, 16, 17) Ekiragiro eki kyali kitagumire kukyorobera, kandi Yahwe akaba aine obugabe bw’okugambira Adamu na Haawa ekihikire n’ekitahikire. Kakuba bayorobiire Yahwe, bakubaire niboleka ngu niborobera obusobozi bwe. Kyakubaire nikyoleka ngu baali nibasiima byona ebyakaba abahaire.
10, 11. (a) Setani akahabisa ata Adamu na Haawa? (b) Habwaki hataroho eky’okwekwasa habw’ekibi Adamu na Haawa eki bakozere?
10 Eky’ennaku, Adamu na Haawa bakajeemera Yahwe. Setani akakaguza Haawa ati: “Nukwo Ruhanga yagambire ati mutalirya ha miti yona eyomu rugonjo?” Haawa yamugarukamu ati: “Ebyana ebyemiti eyomu rugonjo ntusobora okubiryaho: baitu ha byana ebyomuti oguli hagati omu rugonjo, Ruhanga akagamba ati Mutaligulyaho, nobukwakuba [okugukwataho] mutafa.”—Okubanza 3:1-3.
11 Setani yagamba: “Okufa timulifa: baitu Ruhanga amanyire ha kiro ekimuliguliraho amaiso ganyu nuho galiigukira, nainywe muliba nka Ruhanga okumanya ebirungi nebibi.” (Okubanza 3:4-6) Setani akaba n’agonza Haawa atekereze ngu akaba aine obusobozi bw’okwecweramu ekirungi n’ekibi. Kandi akamubiiha ngu busaho ekikaba nikigenda kumuhikaho. Setani akagambira Haawa ngu akaba atarukugenda kufa. Haawa akalya ekijuma kandi yahaho na iba. Adamu na Haawa bakaba bakimanyire ngu Yahwe akabagamba okutalya ha kijuma. Obu bacwiremu okukirya, bakaba nibacwa ekiragiro ekikaba kitagumire kworobera kandi eki bakaba nibetegereza. Obu baliire ekijuma bakoleka ngu bakaba batarukuha Ise bo ow’omu iguru ekitiinisa. Bakaba bataine ky’okwekwasa!

Adamu akaruga omu cuucu, kandi obuyafiire akagaruka omu cuucu
13. Yahwe akaba n’amanyisa ki obu yagambire ngu ‘omu cucu nuho oligaruka’?
13 Adamu na Haawa bakafeerwa omugisa ogw’okwomeera ebiro n’ebiro obu bajemiire Ruhanga. Yahwe akagambira Adamu: “Baitu oli cucu, kandi omu cucu [nuho] oligaruka.” (Soma Okubanza 3:19.) Eki kikaba nikimanyisa ngu Adamu yali w’okugaruka omu cuucu nk’atakahangwaga. (Okubanza 2:7) Hanyuma ya Adamu kusiisa, akafa yahweraho kimu nk’omuntu atakabahoga.
14. Habwaki tufa?
14 Kakuba Adamu na Haawa bali borobiire Ruhanga, bakubaire bakyali bomeezi na hati. Baitu obu bamujemiire, bakafooka basiisi kandi kikabarugirramu okufa. Ekibi kiri nk’oburwaire obw’amaani muno omuntu asobora kwijukura kuruga ha bazaire be. Itwena tuzaarwa n’ekibi kandi niyo nsonga habwaki tufa. (Abarumi 5:12) Baitu kinu kitabe kigendererwa kya Ruhanga. Ruhanga akaba atarukugonza abantu bafe kandi nikyo Baibuli eyetera okufa “omunyanzigwa.”—1 Abakolinso 15:26.
