Mali gunu tiguli mugisa gw’amaani kuraalizibwa Yahwe?

Kikasemeza muno Yahwe kuhikiriza obujunanizibwa bwe obuhyaka obw’okubungisa Omwana we. Baibuli egamba ngu Yahwe ‘yasemererwaga muno’ habw’Omwana we. Kandi omugenyi we ow’okubanza, nauwe ‘akakyanganukira omu maiso ga [Yahwe] obutoosa.’—Nfu. 8:30.

4. Bantu ki abandi Yahwe abayaraalize kuba bagenyi omu heema ye?

(Yob. 38:7; Dan. 7:10) Kumara akasumi enkoragana ya Ruhanga yagarukiraga hali abo abayaikaraga nabo omu iguru. Hanyuma, akahanga abantu kandi nabo bakaba nibasobora kufooka bagenyi be hanu omu nsi. Bamu h’abagenyi abo bakaba nubo Enoka, Nuha, Iburahimu, hamu na Yobu. Abaheereza ba Ruhanga abo ab’amananu bakeetwa banywani ba Ruhanga, rundi abantu abaagendaga “hamu na Ruhanga.”—Kub. 5:24; 6:9; Yob. 29:4; Is. 41:8.

Naraganiza “[kuragaana] nabo ekiragano ekyobusinge.” Obunabbi obu nububazaaho akasumi nambere abo abaine okunihira okw’okugenda omu iguru hamu n’abo abaine okunihira okw’okwomeera ebiro n’ebiro omu nsi baliba hamu omu heema ye ey’akokurorraho ‘nk’igana limu.’ (Yoh. 10:16) Kandi akasumi ako, nuko akaturumu!

Obutuhayo obwomeezi bwaitu hali Yahwe, tufooka abagenyi be omu heema ye ey’akokurorraho. (Zab. 61:4) Twegondeza omu byokulya ebingi eby’omwoyo, hamu n’okuba n’enkoragana enungi n’abo ababa bafookere bagenyi ba Yahwe. Eheema ye ey’akokurorraho, terukusangwa omu kiikaro kimu. Nosobora kuba wagenzere omu ihanga erindi obundi kuba ha rusorrokano orukooto orw’embaganiza, kandi wasangayo abantu abandi abaine okusemererwa habwokuba bali omu heema ya Ruhanga.

Yesu akagamba ati: “Baitu okuhumbuka okwabafu, na Musa akakwoleka ha Rusaka obuyayesere [Yahwe] Ruhanga wa Iburahimu, na Ruhanga wa Isaka, na Ruhanga wa Yakobo. Nukwo, tali Ruhanga wa bafu, baitu wabomezi: baitu bona bomiire habwe.”—Luk. 20:​37, 38.

EBINTU EBIRUKWETAAGISA KUFOOKA BAGENYI BA YAHWE HAMU N’EBIRUNGI EBITWEGONDEZAAMU

8. Birungi ki ebitutunga habwokuba omu heema ya Yahwe?

⁸ Nk’oku eheema eya buli kiro esobora kuba kiikaro eky’okuhumurramu, n’okulinda abantu hali enyikara ez’obwire, n’eheema ya Yahwe erinda abantu hali ekintu kyona ekisobora kusiisa enkoragana yabo nauwe, kandi ebaha n’okunihira kwonyini okw’akasumi ak’omu maiso. Obutwikara haihi na Yahwe, Sitaani tasobora kutuhikyaho akabi ak’ebiro n’ebiro. (Zab. 31:23; 1 Yoh. 3:8) Omu nsi empyaka, Yahwe tarukwija kugarukira ha kulinda abanywani be hali akabi ak’eby’omwoyo kyonka, baitu na hali okufa.—Kus. 21:4.

9. Yahwe nanihirramu abagenyi be kwetwaza omu mulingo ki?

Ekyokurorraho, nasobora kukunihirramu kwihamu enkaito zaawe otakataahire omu nju, kandi eki naiwe nikyo wakugondeze kukora. Omu mulingo nugwo gumu, naitwe nitugonza kumanya Yahwe ebyarukwetaagisa abo abarukugonza kugumizaamu bali bagenyi omu heema ye. Okugonza okutwiniire Yahwe kutuleetera kukora kyona ekirukusoboka kurora ngu twamusemeza omu bwijwire. (Bak. 1:10) Ky’amananu ngu Yahwe munywani waitu, baitu kandi ali Ruhanga waitu kandi Isiitwe outusemeriire kuteekamu ekitiinisa. (Zab. 25:14) Habw’ensonga egi, tusemeriire kwikara nitumuteekamu ekitiinisa, kandi tuteebwa ali muntu wa mulingo ki. Kumuteekamu ekitiinisa ekya mulingo ogu, nikiija kutukonyera kwetantara kukora ekintu kyona ekisobora kumubiihiza. Hataroho kugurukyagurukya, nitugonza “kugenda nobuculezi” na Ruhanga waitu.—Mik. 6:8.

Abalevi bakaheebwa obujunanizibwa obw’okukora emirimo endi ha heema egi ey’erukwera. Hati tugambe ngu abo abaheerazaaga ha heema ey’okutangatanganiramu, hamu n’abo abaikaraga haihi nayo Yahwe yabafaahoga muno kukira abandi? Nangwa! Yahwe tasoroora.

Ekyokurorraho, Yahwe akakigumya ngu ihanga lyona likaba nirisobora kurora enyomyo ey’ekicu hamu n’enyomyo ey’omurro ebyabaga eruguru y’eheema. (Soma Okuruga 40:38.) Enyomyo ey’ekicu obuyatandikaga kugenda omu kiikaro ekihyaka, n’abo abaikaraga hara n’eheema baabaga nibasobora kugirora kandi bagendere hamu n’abantu abandi. (Kubar. 9:​15-23) Boona baahurraga amaraka ag’engwara ibiri, ezaaterwaga kumanyisa abantu ngu basemeriire kutandika kugenda. (Kubar. 10:2) Nikyeyoleka kurungi ngu kwikara haihi n’eheema, tikyamanyisaga ngu oine enkoragana enungi na Yahwe kukira abandi. Oihireho, buli omu omu ihanga lya Yawhe linu erihyaka, akaba nasobora kuba mugenyi wa Yahwe kandi akigumye ngu Yahwe akaba namwebembera kandi namulinda. Omu mulingo nugwo gumu kasumi kanu katube nitwikara nkaha, nitukigumya ngu Yahwe natugonza, natufaaho, kandi natulinda.
