Harabireho akaire kake hanyuma ya pentekoti 33 C.E. Ekitebe Ekikristaayo omu Yerusalemu kikaba kimazire wiiki nke kitandikireho. Hataroho kugurukyagurukya, Sitaani arora ngu kanu nuko kasumi ak’okugira ekiyakora. N’agonza kuhwerekereza ekitebe kinu ekihyaka kitakagumire. Sitaani aletera abebembezi b’amadiini kutanga omulimo ogw’okutebeza. Baitu Abakwenda, beyongera kutebeza n’obumanzi kandi abasaija n’abakazi baingi baikiriza Mukama waitu.​—Eng. 4:18, 33; 5:14.

² Abahakaniza bakwatwa ekiniga kandi batahirra Abakwenda​, kandi ha murundi gunu, babateeka omu nkomo. Baitu, omu bwire bw’ekiro, malaika wa Yahwe akingura enyigi z’enkomo kandi obwire nambere bwakeriire, abakwenda bakaba bagarukireyo kutebeza! Omurundi ogundi bakabakwata kandi babatwara hali abalemi nibabajunaana omusango ogw’okucwa ekiragiro ekirukukwata ha kutebeza. N’obumanzi obwingi, abakwenda bakagarukamu bati: “Kituhikiriire okuhurra Ruhanga okukira abantu.” Abalemi bakwatwa ekininga kingi kandi ‘bayenda okubaita.’ Baitu omu kasumi ako, omwegesa ow’ebiragiro ow’ekitiinisa arukwetwa Gamalyeri atererra abalemi ati: “Mwerinde inywenka . . . Mubarugeho abantu banu, mubaleke.” Ekirukuhuniriza, abalemi bakorra ha buhabuzi bwe kandi balekera abakwenda. Abasaija banu abesigwa bakora ki? N’obumanzi, “tibayosaga okwegesa nokutebeza ngu Yesu nuwe Kristo.”​—Eng. 5:17-21, 27-42; Nfu. 21:1, 30.

3, 4. (a) Miringo Sitaani eyaikaire nakozesa kutahirra abantu ba Ruhanga? (b) Kiki ekiturukwija kwegaho omu suura enu hamu n’ezindi ebiri ezirukwongeraho?

³ Omusango gwa kooti ogw’okuhakaniza ekitebe Ekikristaayo omu 33 C.E. nugwo gwabandize, baitu gukaba gutarukwija kuba ogw’okumalirra. (Eng. 4:5-8; 16:20; 17:6, 7) N’omu kasumi kanu, Sitaani n’akyaletera abo abahakaniza okuramya okw’amananu kuletera ab’obusobozi kutanga omulimo gwaitu ogw’okutebeza. Abahakaniza bataireho abantu ba Ruhanga emisango nyingi. Gumu hali egi nugwo ngu tuleeta akaimukirro omu bantu. Ekindi, bagamba ngu tuletera abantu kujeemera gavumenti; kandi ngu tuli b’eby’obusubuzi​ rundi abatembeyi. Omu busumi obusemeriire, ab’oruganda bagenzere omu kooti kwoleka ngu emisango erukutujunaanwa tehikire. Kiki ekirugire omu misango enu? Encwamu za kooti ezabaireho emyaka nyingi enyuma nizikukwataho zita kasumi kanu? Leka tubazeeho emisango emu eya kooti turole omulingo yakonyiire omu “kutonganira enjiri nokugigumya.”​—Baf. 1:7.

⁴ Omu suura enu nitwija kuta omutima ha mulingo turwaniriiremu obugabe bwaitu obw’okutebeza. Esuura ibiri ezirukwongeraho niziija kubazaaho emisango emu eitutongaine kurora twaikara tutali kicweka ky’ensi kandi tukagumira ha ndengo z’Obukama.

²⁹ Ow’oruganda Marcel Filteau, omumiiisani kuruga Quebec, Canada, ow’akaba arabire omu kuhiiganizibwa okw’obulemi bwa Duplessis, akaba naheereza omu Zaire kasumi ako. Akabazaaho ekyabaireho: “Omu Maaci 12, 1986, ab’oruganda abaine obujunaanizibwa bakaheebwa ebbaruha eyali neyoleka ngu Ekitebe eky’Abakaiso ba Yahwe tikitukwikirizibwa omu Zaire.” Omwebembezi w’ihanga, Mobutu Sese Seko nuwe akaba agitaireho omukono.

30. Akatebe k’Itaagi kakaba kaine kukora ncwamu ki ey’amaani, kandi kiki ekikacwiremu kukora?

³⁰ Ekiro ekyahondiireho, rediyo ey’ihanga ekaranga eti: “Titurukwija kwongera kuhurra Abakaiso ba Yahwe omu [Zaire].” Ahonaaho okuhiiganizibwa kukatandikiraho. Eby’ombeko by’Obukama bikahwerekerezebwa, kandi abantu bakaiba ebintu by’ab’oruganda, ab’oruganda bakakwatwa, bateekwa omu nkomo kandi baateerwa. N’abaana b’Abakaiso ba Yahwe bakateekwa omu nkomo. Omu Okitobba 12, 1988, gavumenti ekakwata ebintu by’ekitebe kandi abalinzi hamu n’amaahe gakatandika kwikara omu byombeko by’itaagi. Ab’oruganda abakaba baine obujunaanizibwa bakajurra hali omwebembezi w’ihanga Mobutu, baitu batatunge okugarukwamu kwona. Omu kasumi ako, Akatebe k’Itaagi kakaba kaine kukora encwamu ey’amaani, “Tujurre hali Kooti Enkuru rundi tubanze tulindeho?” Timothy Holmes, ow’akaba ali mumiisani kandi muteraniza w’Akatebe k’Itaagi nagamba ati: “Tukasaba Yahwe kutuha amagezi n’oburagirizi.” Hanyuma bakakirora ngu, ako kaali katali kasumi ak’okugenda omu kooti. Oihireho, omutima bakaguteeka ha kulinda ab’oruganda n’okuserra omulingo omulimo gw’okutebeza gusobora kugenda omu maiso.

31, 32. Ncwamu ki enkuru eyakozerwe Kooti Enkuru eya Zaire, kandi eki kikakwataho kita ab’oruganda omu Zaire?

³¹ Hanyuma hakarabaho emyaka. Okusindikirizibwa hali Abakaiso ba Yahwe kukakeeha kandi n’okutekamu ekitiinisa obugabe bw’abantu omu Zaire kukagenda nikweyongera. Akatebe k’Itaagi kakamanya ngu akasumi kakaba kahikire ak’okuta omusango omu Kooti Enkuru eya Zaire. Ekirukuhuniriza, Kooti Enkuru ekaikiriza kuhurra omusango. Hanyuma omu Janwali 8, 1993, hanyuma y’emyaka nka musanju omwebembezi w’ihanga ataire omukomo ha bbaruha ey’okutanga omulimo gwaitu, Kooti ekacwamu ngu gavumenti ekiyakozere kikaba kitali omu biragiro, kandi emirimo yaitu ekongera yaikirizibwa. Eki kikaba nikimanyisa ki? Abaramuzi bakateeka obwomeezi bwabo omu kabi kusobora kuhakaniza ekiragiro ky’omwebembezi w’ihanga! Ow’oruganda Holmes nagamba ati:“Omu kasumi ak’okuhurra omusango, tukerorra itwenka omulingo Yahwe asobora kuhindura ebintu.” (Dan. 2:21) Obusinguzi bunu bukagumya okwikiriza kw’ab’oruganda. Bakehurra ngu Yesu, Omukama, akaba ayebembiire abantu be kumanya akasumi akabakaba basemeriire kugira ekibakoraho.

³² Emirimo y’Abakaiso ba Yahwe obuyaikiriziibwe, ofiisi y’itaagi ekaikirizibwa kuleeta abamiisani, kwombeka eby’ombeko by’itaagi ebihyaka n’okuleeta ebitabu ebirukusigikirra ha Baibuli.f Kanikireeta okusemererwa kwingi hali abaheereza ba Ruhanga omu nsi yoona kwerorra omulingo Yahwe alindamu abantu be omu by’omwoyo!​—Is. 52:10.

“Ruhanga Nuwe Mukonyezi Wange”

33. Kiki ekiturukwegera ha misango enu enke eyiturozereho?

³³ Kwekebiija emu ha misango nikyoleka ngu Yesu ahikiriize okuraganiza kwe: “Nyowe ndibaha akanwa namagezi abanyanzigwa banyu bona agabatalisobora okwemera nobukwakuba okuganga.” (Soma Luka 21:12-15.) Obwire obumu, Yahwe ataireho ba Gamalyeri ab’akasumi kanu kusobora kulinda abantu be rundi asobozeseze abaramuzi abamanzi hamu na bapuliida kurwanirra obwinganiza. Yahwe amazire amaani ebyokurwanisa by’abo abatuhakaniza. (Soma Isaya 54:17.) Okuhakanizibwa tikusobora kulemesa omulimo gwa Ruhanga.

34. Habwaki obusinguzi obututungire omu mbuga z’ebiragiro buli bukuru muno, kandi nibwoleka ki? (Rora n’akasanduuko “Obusinguzi omu Kooti Enkuru Obwatwaire omu Maiso Omulimo gw’Okutebeza Obukama.”)

³⁴ Habwaki obusinguzi bwaitu omu by’ebiragiro nibuhuniriza muno? Tekerezaaho kinu: Abakaiso ba Yahwe tibarukumanywa muno kandi tibali baruranganwa. Tituteera akaruuru, titusagika kampaini ez’ebyobulemi n’obukwakuba kugulirra ab’ebyobulemi. N’ekindi, baingi abatwarwa omu kooti eza haiguru barorwa nk’abantu “abatakegesebwaga.” (Eng. 4:13) Nahabweki, omu ndora ey’abantu, busaho ekisemeriire kuba nikyekambisa kooti kugonza kutukonyera n’okusingisa emisango amadiini ag’amaani hamu n’ab’eby’obulemi. Baitu nabwo, kooti zikaire nizicwa emisango obu nizisagika orubaju rwaitu! Obusinguzi bwaitu omu b’ebiragiro nibwoleka ngu “omu maiso ga Ruhanga nukwo tugamba tuti omu Kristo.” (2 Kol. 2:17) Nahabweki, kusisanaho n’omukwenda Paulo, nitugamba ngu: “Mukama nuwe mukonyezi wange; tinditina.”​—Baheb. 13:6.
