1-2. Ni eha migisha eyi omuntu ari kutunga bwanyima y’okubatizibwa?

 OKUBATIZIBWA tukaba Abahamya ba Yehova ni ekintu ekiri kushemeza munonga. Abatungire omugisha g’okubatizibwa nibabasa kwikirizana n’ebigambo bya Dawudi omuhandiki wa zaburi, owagambire ngu: ‘Ayine omugisha owu [Yehova] atorana, akamwiriza hihi, kuguma omu bikari byawe.’—Zab 65:4.

² Yehova tari kureta omu bikari byeye omuntu owu ari we wena. Nk’oku twabirebire omu kicweka ecabandirize eki, naba munywani w’abantu abari kwenda kwereka ku bari kwenda kuba banywani beye. (Yak 4:8) Ku ori kweha Yehova kandi okabatizibwa, noba munywani weye omu buryo obw’omutano. Nobasa kwesiga otari kubanganisa ku bwanyima y’okubatizibwa arije ‘kukushukaho omugisha, okabura n’ah’okuguta.’—Mal 3:10; Yer 17:7, 8.

3. Ni guha murimo ogu Abakristo abayehire Yehova kandi bakabatizibwa bine? (Omuburizi 5:4, 5)

³ Okubatizibwa ni yo ntandikiro y’okukorera Yehova. Bwanyima y’okubatizibwa noyija kuba ori kwenda kutaho amani kugira ngu ogumizemu kuhikiriza endahiro yawe y’okweha Yehova, n’omu bwire bw’ebigezo. (Shoma Omu Muburizi 5:4, 5.) Ahabw’okuba ori omwegi wa Yesu, noyija kugumizamu kukuratira ecokureberaho ceye n’okorobera ebi yaturagire. (Mat 28:19, 20; 1 Pet 2:21) Eki kicweka caza kutukwasa kumanya oku turi kubasa kukikora.

GUMIZAMU KUKURATIRA YESU N’OBU WAKUBA ORI KURABA OMU BIGEZO

4. Ni buha buryo obu abegi ba Yesu bari kweguramu ‘ekiti’ c’obusaasi? (Luka 9:23)

⁴ Otatecereza ku bwanyima y’okubatizibwa birije kukwihiraho ebizibu byona. Yesu akagamba ku abegi beye babire barije  kwegura ‘ekiti’ c’obusaasi. Kandi bakaba barije kucegura ‘obwire bwona.’ (Shoma omuri Luka 9:23.) Mbehi Yesu akaba ari kugamba ku abakurasi beye babire baragume kubonabona burijo? Ingaha mazima. Akaba ari kwenda kusindagiriza ku babire barije kutunga emigisha, kandi bakabugana n’ebigezo. Kandi ebimwe omuri ebo bizibu bikaba biri kubasa kubashasha munonga.—2 Tim 3:12.

5. Ni eha migisha eyi Yesu yaraganisize abari kugira ebi bayeferereza?

⁵ Nobasa kuba watandikire kuhiganisibwa n’abagizire eka yawe, ninga shi oshanga hariho ebintu ebi wayefererize kugira ngu ote eby’Obukama omu mwanya g’okubanza. (Mat 6:33) Caba kiri kisyo, nobasa kwesiga otari kubanganisa ku Yehova ari kureba byona ebi ori kukora kugira ngu omukorere omu bwesigwa. (Heb 6:10) N’iwe nobasa kuba wayerebire oku ebi bigambo bya Yesu biri kuhikirira. Nibigira ngu: ‘Tihine muntu owasigireho enju, benishe, banyanyazi, nyina, ishe, abana, ninga ekibanja ceye ahabwange n’ahabw’engiri, otarihebwa omu biro bya hati ebiri kukira ebyo emirundi igana, enju, benishe, banyanya, banyina, abana, ebibanja, hamwe n’okuhigwa, kandi omu biro bya bwanyima akahebwa amagara agatahwaho.’ (Mar 10:29, 30) Emigisha eyi watungire nekirira kimwe ebintu byona ebi wayefererize.—Zab 37:4.

6. Ahabw’enki oshemerire kugumizamu kurwanisa ‘ebi omubiri guri kwetenga’ na bwanyima y’okubatizibwa?

⁶ Noyija kugumizamu kurwanisa ‘ebi omubiri guri kwetenga’ na bwanyima y’okubatizibwa. (1 Yoh 2:16) N’obundi noyija kuba ocacumura ahakuba ori ow’omu ruzaro rwa Adamu orutahikirire. Obumwe enyehurira zawe nizibasa kuba nk’ez’entumwa Pawulo. Akahandika ati: ‘Omu mutima gwange nsima ebiragiro bya Ruhanga; konka omu ngingo zange nshangamu ekindi kiragiro ekirwanisa ekiragiro ec’omu bwenge bwange, kimpindura omuhuku w’ebiragiro by’ekibi ebiri omu ngingo zange.’ (Rom 7:22, 23) Nobasa kuhurira wacweka entege ahabw’okutahikirira kwawe. Konka, okutecereza aha ndagano eyi waragine na Yehova obu wamwehire nikija kutuma wamaririra kurwanisa ebigezo. Mazima, wabugana ebigezo, endagano yawe y’okweha Yehova neyija kukukwasa. Bata shi?

7. Ni bata oku okweha Yehova biri kukukwasa kuguma ori omwesigwa ahari we?

⁷ Wayeha Yehova noba wayeyanga. Eco nikimanyisa ku wayangira kimwe ebintu ebi ori kukunda n’entego ebitari kushemeza Yehova. (Mat 16:24) Obwe rero wabugana ekigezo, torije kwebuza munonga aha ki orakore. Noyija kuba ori kumanya ec’okukora, ni okugamba okumaririra kuguma ori omwesigwa ahari Yehova. Noyija kumaririra kimwe kushemeza Yehova. Omu buryo nk’obwe, oyija kuba nka Yobu. N’obu yabugine ebigezo bigumire munonga, akagamba ngu: ‘Tindireka kuguma ndi omwesigwa!’—Yob 27:5.

8. Ni bata oku okutecereza aha shara yawe y’okweha Yehova kiri kubasa kukukwasa kusingura ebigezo?

⁸ Wagumizamu kutecereza aha shara eyi washabire ori kweha Yehova, nikija kukuha amani g’okusingura ebigezo byona. Ecokureberaho: Mbehi nobasa kutandika kusigurana n’omuntu kandi ori kumanya ku ayine ondijo owu batasine? Ingaha mazima! Okaraganisa Yehova ku otari kubasa kukora ekintu nk’eco. Eco nikija kukurinda obusaasi bw’okurwanisa enyehurira mbi eziri kubasa kusinga emizi. Noyija kureka ‘kugendera omu muhanda gw’abantu babi.’—Emi 4:14, 15.

9. Ni bata oku okutecereza aha shara yawe y’okweha Yehova kiri kubasa kukukwasa kuta eby’omwika omu mwanya g’okubanza?

⁹ Mbwenu shi noyija kukora ki wahebwa omurimo ogurije kutuma otayekwatanisa omu nterane burijo? Tikirije kukugumira kumanya  ec’okukora. Ahabw’okuba mbere y’okuhebwa ogo murimo, okaba wayangire endijo mirimo eri nk’eyo. Obwe rero, tikirije kukukwata obwire kumanya yaba ensharamu yawe erije kutuma wagira eki wahikaho. Wayijuka ku Yesu yabire amaririre kushemeza Ishe omuri byona, noyija kuhika ori kwanga ekintu cona eki ori kumanya ku kitarije kushemeza Ruhanga owu wayehire.—Mat 4:10; Yoh 8:29.

10. Ni bata oku Yehova arije kukukwasa kugumizamu kukuratira Yesu bwanyima y’okubatizibwa?

¹⁰ Mazima, ebigezo nibikuha oburyo bw’okwereka ku wamaririre kukuratira Yesu. Eco wakikora, noyesiga otari kubanganisa ku Yehova arije kukukwasa kugumizamu kumukuratira. Bibuli negira eti: ‘Ruhanga n’ow’okwesigwa; taribikiriza kugezibwa ekigezo eki mutari kubasa; kureka omu kigezo eco aryabateraho oburyo bw’okuhunga, ngu mubase kucehanganira.’—1 Kor 10:13.

OKU TURI KUBASA KUGUMIZAMU KUKURATIRA YESU

11. Ni buha buryo burungi bw’okugumizamu kukuratiramu Yesu? (Nambwenu reba ekishushani.)

¹¹ Yesu akagumizamu kukorera Yehova n’omutima gweye gona, kandi yagumizamu kumuhika hihi omu kushaba. (Luk 6:12) Bumwe omu buryo burungi obu ori kubasa kugumizamu kukuratiramu Yesu na bwanyima y’okubatizibwa, ni okugumizamu kukora ebintu ebiratume wakizaho kuhika hihi ya Yehova. Bibuli negira ngu: ‘Amazima agu tuhikiremu, tube ni go twagenderamu.’ (Fil 3:16) Oku obwire burije kugenda nibuhwa, noyija kuguma ori kuhurira ebyokureberaho bya benetata na banyanyazi abayeterireho entego z’okukora byingi omu murimo gwa Yehova. Omuri ebyo harimu nk’okwega Ishomero ry’ababurizi b’Obukama ninga shi kufurukira omu kacweka akari kwetengwamu ababurizi. Yaba embera ezi orimu  ziri kubasa kubikwikiririza, nobasa kweteraho entego nk’ezo. Abahereza ba Yehova betegwire kukora byingi omu murimo gweye. (Byak 16:9) Mbwenu shi nobasa kukora ki yaba embera ezi orimu zitari kubasa kukwikiririza kongera aha murimo gwawe? Otatecereza ku otine mugasho. Empaka ezi Abakristo turi kwiruka nizishaba kwehangana. (Mat 10:22) Omugisha g’okukorera Yehova okuratize obushoborozi bwawe n’embera ezi orimu, otarigutwara nk’ogutine mugasho. Obwo ni bwo buryo bw’omugasho obu ori kubasa kukuratiramu Yesu wamara kubatizibwa.—Zab 26:1.

12-13. Ni enki eki ori kubasa kukora yaba otacayesimira kukorera Yehova nk’oku byabire biri omu kubanza? (1 Abakorinto 9:16, 17) (Nambwenu reba akashanduku akari kugira ngu “Guma omu mpaka z’okwiruka.”)

¹² Mbwenu shi nobasa kukora ki waba otacayesimira kushaba ninga kukora omurimo g’okuburira nk’oku byabire biri omu kubanza? Kandi shi ku wakuba otacayesimire kushoma Bibuli nk’oku wabire nokikora? Yaba ezo mbera zatandikire wamara kubatizibwa, otahika ori kutecereza ku otacayine omwika gwa Yehova. Ori omuntu otahikirire, kandi enyehurira zawe nizibasa kuhinduka. Watandika kuhurira ocwekire entege, guma otecereze aha cokureberaho c’entumwa Pawulo. N’obu yabire ari kugezaho kutoreza Yesu, akaba namanya ku hine obwire obu cabire kiramugumire. (Shoma omu 1 Bakorinto 9:16, 17.) Akagamba ati: ‘Ahakuba ku ndabe nimburira engiri nyeyendire, nyine ebihembo.’ Omu bindi bigambo, Pawulo akaba amaririre kuhikiriza omurimo gweye g’okuburira n’obu yakuba ari kuhurira acwekire entege.

¹³ Ni co kimwe, otaguma kukora ensharamu ogendire aha nyehurira zawe ezitahikirire. Maririra kukora ebihikire n’obu wakuba ori kuhurira otari kubyenda. Ebirungi ebi ori kukora nibyija kuhindura enyehurira zawe oku obwire  burigenda nibuhwa. Nambwenu kuguma oyine entebekanisa ndungi y’eby’omwika nibyija kukukwasa kugumizamu kukuratira Yesu na bwanyima y’okubatizibwa. Oku orije kugumizamu kutwaza nibyija kugumya Abakristo bagenzi bawe. Benetata na banyanyazi ku barireba oku ori kugumizamu kwehangana omu murimo ogu ori kukorera Yehova, nibyija kubagumya.—1 Tes 5:11.

GUMIZAMU ‘KUSHWIJUMA’ KANDI OGUMIZEMU N’‘OKUGEZA’

14. Ni enki eki oshemerire kushwijuma burijo kandi shi ahabw’enki? (2 Abakorinto 13:5)

¹⁴ Nambwenu noyija kugasirwa waguma kweshwijuma na bwanyima y’okubatizibwa. (Shoma omu 2 Bakorinto 13:5.) Oku obwire burigenda nibuhwa, ogume okwate obwire bw’okushwijuma okubaho kwawe kugira ngu orebe yaba ori kushaba burizoba, yaba ori kushoma Bibuli kandi okayeyegesa, ori kuza omu nterane kandi orebe yaba ori kwekwatanisa omu murimo g’okuburira. Guma oronde oburyo bw’okugezaho kwesimira ebyo bintu ebigizire okuramya kwitu. Ecokureberaho: Yebuze ebibuzo nk’ebi: ‘Mbehi nimbasa kushobororera abandi enyegesa za Bibuli z’okubandizaho? Mbehi hine eki ndi kubasa kukora kugira ngu nkizeho kwesimira omurimo g’okuburira? Mbehi ebi ndi kugambira Yehova omu kushaba n’ebi ndi kukora nibyereka ku ndi kumwesiga omu bwijwire? Mbehi ninza omu nterane burijo? Ni enki eki ndi kubasa kukora kugira ngu nte omutima aha nterane kandi nzekwatanisemu?’

15-16. Ni enki eki ori kubasa kwegera aha byahikire ahari mwenetata omwe aha bikwatirine n’okwangira ebigezo?

¹⁵ Nambwenu oshemerire kushwijuma otarabire aha rubaju ahu ocwekire entege. Mwenetata orikwetwa Robert akagamba enkuru y’ebyamubireho ari kushoborora eco kintu. Akagamba ati: “Obu nabire nyine emyaka nka 20, nkaba nyine omurimo g’obwire buce. Izoba rimwe ku twabire twaruga aha murimo, omuhara owu twabire turi kukorana, akantumira ngu nze kumushura owabo. Akangambira ku hatine ondijo muntu orabe oriho kandi ku ‘turagirane obwire burungi.’ Omu kubanza, nkahurira nayenda kubyikiriza, konka nkahendera mbyangire kandi namushobororera enshonga.” Robert akasingura eco kigezo, kandi eco ni kirungi. Konka bwanyima, akashuba yabitecerezaho, yashanga yabire ashemerire kutwaza omu buryo oburi kutana n’obu yabire yatwarizemu. Akongeraho ati: “Tindahikire ndi kwangirira kimwe ogo muhara nk’oku Yosefu yayangire muka Potifari. (Kut 39:7-9) Nkatangara kureba oku okumuhakanira cangumire. Ebyo  bintu ebyambireho bikanyereka ku nabire nshemerire kukizaho kugumya obunywani bwange na Yehova.”

¹⁶ Nobasa kugasirwa munonga wayeshwijuma nk’oku Robert yakikozire. N’obu wakusingura ekigezo, nobasa kwebuza ngu: ‘Konka shi cantwara obwire oburi kwingana ki kugira ngu nkisingure?’ Washanga hariho ebi oshemerire kuhindura, otayecwera orubanja. Oshemerire kwesima ahakuba wamanya ahu oyine obweremwa. Bigambire Yehova omu kushaba, kandi ogire eki wakora kugira ngu okizeho kumaririra kugendera aha misinge ya Yehova y’eby’emicwe.—Zab 139:23, 24.

17. Ni bata ebyahikire ahari Robert byayerize izina rya Yehova?

¹⁷ Hariho ebindi bintu ebi turi kubasa kwegera ahari Robert. Akagumizamu ari kugira ati: “Ku namazire kwanga obutumire bw’omukozi owu twabire nitukora hamwe, akagira ati, ‘wasinga omutego ogu naba nkutegire!’ Nanye nkamubuza eki ari kumanyisa. Akanshobororera ku munywani weye owabire ari Omuhamya yamugambire ku Abahamya bona abacari bato bari kukora ebintu bibi batunga oburyo bw’okubikora bwesherece. Obwe rero akagambira ogo munywani weye ku yaza kungeza ngu arebe yaba biri amazima. Nkesimira kumanya ku eki nakozire cahimbisize izina rya Yehova.”

18. Ni enki eki ori kubasa kumaririra kukora bwanyima y’okubatizibwa? (Nambwenu reba akashanduku akari kugira ngu “Ebicweka ebi ori kubasa kushemerererwa.”)

¹⁸ Wayeha Yehova kandi okabatizibwa, noba wayereka ku ori kwenda kweza izina ryeye oku embera zakuba ziri kona. Kandi nobasa kwesiga otari kubanganisa ku Yehova ari kumanya ebigezo byona ebi ori kurabamu n’ebi ori kusingura. Nayija kukuha emigisha ahabw’amani agu ori kutaho ngu ogume ori omwesigwa. Yesige otari kubanganisa ku birabire aha mwika gweye oguri kwera ari kubasa kukuha amani g’okuguma ori omwesigwa. (Luk 11:11-13) Ahabw’obuyambi bwa Yehova, noyija kugumizamu kukuratira Yesu na bwanyima y’okubatizibwa.
