Utikururira ibibembe

Inkuru ya MIRIYAMI afatwa n’ibibembe tuyisanga mu Gitabo cy’Ibarura (Ibar.12,1-15). Twumva inteko y’abaneguranyi igizwe na Miriyamu ndetse na Aroni. Musa ni umuntu watowe n’Imana kugira ngo avane umuryango w’Abayisraheli mu Misiri, mu buretwa bakoreshwaga na Farawo (Iyim.2,23-25;3,1-12). Aroni na we akaba umufasha wa Musa muri ubwo butumwa bwo kubohora Abayisraheli (Iyim.4,10-17). Musa n’Aroni, bombi bari bahuje ubutumwa bwo kubohora umuryango w’Imana, bakawuvana mu gihugu cya Misiri ariko Aroni nk’umufasha akaba umunwa wa Musa naho Musa akaba umubwiriza we. Birasobanurako Aroni yagombaga kumvira Musa na Musa akumva icyo Uhoraho amubwiye. Bagombaga kubana mu bwubahane n’ubwuzuzanye birangwa n’urukundo rwicisha bugufi kandi rukarangwa n’impuhwe kuko igikorwa barimo cyo kubohora Abayisiraheli ari igikorwa cy’impuhwe Imana igaragarije umuryango wayo.

Icyakururiye Miriyamu gushesha ibibembe ni ukunegura Musa, amuziza gushaka umunyamahanga, ibyo akabirengaho akagera ku rwego rwo guhinyura umubano wa Musa n’Imana. Ngo baribazaga bati “Ese ubundi Uhoraho yavugishije Musa wenyine ? Twebweho ntiyatuvugishije ?” ibi biragaragaza ko bari batangiye kureba nabi Musa, byari no kubagora kumwumvira iyo Imana itabatera kwisubiraho, ikoresheje ako kanyafu- gushesha ibibembe.  “Hahirwa umuntu udakurikiza inama y’abagiranabi, akirinda inzira y’abanyabyaha kandi ntiyicarane n’abaneguranyi, ahubwo agahimbazwa n’amategeko y’Uhoraho, akayazirikana umunsi n’ijoro” (Zab.1,1-2).

v  Iyi nkuru itwigisha iki?

1.      Twirinde kunegura abandi

Kenshi tunegura abandi twiyise abere nyamara ducumura. “Icyaha kibi kiruta ibindi ni ukutamenya ko uri umunyabyaha (S. Césaire d'Arles, commentaire sur I Jean 1:8).” Kuri iyi si twese turacumura, tukiringira impuhwe z’Imana zo zitwuhagira ibyaha. Kunegura abandi bijyana no gusuzugura ubutumwa bwabo kandi nta muntu Imana itakoreramo ngo ikize abandi. Abantu tubereyeho kwigishanya, umwe agafasha undi mu gusabana n’Imana. Iyo wabaswe n’ingeso yo kunegurana, abo unegura ntabwo wabigiraho gusabana n’Imana kuko uba wibanda gusa ku ruhande rubi rwabo. Nta ntama ya Yezu yo kugengwa n’iyo ngeso. Intama zibana mu rukundo, zigakosorana mu mahoro no mu ibanga, zikirinda kwandagaza umuvandimwe.

2.      Buri wese Imana iramukunda

Miriyamu na Aroni baneguye Musa birengagije umubano we n’Imana yamuhaye ubutumwa. Uvuga kuri mugenzi wawe, akenshi usa n’umucira urubanza, umushinja, ariko ntabwo uba uzi uko Imana imubona n’umugambi imufiteho. Buri wese afite uko ahura n’Imana bikagaragarira mu mibereho myiza ye nyamara n’abo twita ruvumwa, uzi Imana si uko yakwiye kubigenza ahubwo agomba kurangwa na rwa kundo nyampuhwe rubabarira bose, rusabira bose, akaba nk’umushumba mwiza uharanira guhuriza intama zose zatatanye mu gikumba kimwe. Imana iradukunda twese, sigaho gusebya uwo Imana ikunda. Yezu yahagurutse mu ijuru, aza mu nsi kubera urukundo agukunda, akunda uwo, none ushimishwe no kumwiriza mu kanwa kawe? Mu rwuri rwa Kristu turakundana, tugafashanya, tugakomezanya mu rugamba rwo gutunganira Imana! Unegura abandi aba ari kure y’urukundo rw’Imana kandi “Aragowe kandi ateje impuhwe uri kure y’urukundo rw’Imana.  Iminsi ye ayimara asinziriye mu byago, kure y’Imana, ahataba urumuri nuko agatura mu mwijima.” (S. Ephrem le Syrien. Discours sur les vertus et les vices).

3.      Na we ashobora kwigorora n’Imana.

Iyo ntama ya Kristu umukiza na yo irarikiwe, hamwe nawe, kwigorora n’Imana mu bavandimwe yahemukiye.  Na we ashobora kwigorora n’Imana. Kwirirwana umuvandimwe wawe mu mvugo bishobora kumubera bariyeri mu nzira ye yo kugana Imana. Ubwo urumva wowe utaba ubabaje Imana ukunda na yo igukunda? Kuvuga abandi si ivanjili y’umukiro wamamaza ahubwo ni ukwikururira ibyago n’urupfu. Nawe birwa bavuga ,rimwe banakubeshyera, biture Imana, hanyuma uturize mu rukundo rwayo kuko “Uko urushaho gusengera uwagusebeje, niko Imana irushaho guhishurira ukuri abemeye ibyo baguharabitse” (S. Maxime le Confesseur. Centuries sur l'amour, 4.89).

ABAHIRE Pélagie, ubukwe bwiza!

Umunsi Uhoraho yigeneye, ukubere uw’ibirori n’ibyishimo!

Uyu ni umwanya mwiza wo gufatanya twese tukishimira uyu munsi Nyagasani yatugeneye ngo duhuzwe no gushyigikira ABAHIRE

ABAHIRE PELAGIE
MU BUTUMWA 

Pélagie wahamagariwe gushinga urugo; urugo rwa gikristu. Nguyu umunsi Uhoraho yigeneye: nutubere umunsi w’ibirori n’ibyishimo (Zab.118,24), umunsi udufasha kurushaho kuzirikana ku rukundo ruhebuje Imana idukunda kugeza n’aho iduhamagara, ikadutora, ikadushoboza kugira uruhare mu mugambi wayo wo gukiza isi.

Hamwe na Bikira Mariya, twifatanije na Pélagie, n’umuryango we mu kurirmba magnificat; ngaho Pélagie, tera uti “umutima wanjye urasingiza Nyagasani kandi uhimbajwe n’Imana umukiza wanjye.” Ni byo koko Nyagasani yibutse ubukene bw’umuja we, amugirira impuhwe. Birakwiye; dusingize Imana yaduhaye ibyiza! Imana yuje urukundo yakurinze byinshi cyane (Cfr Sir.51); yagukuye mu muriro utari wacanye, mu maso y’abanzi bawe aragushyigikira, akurokora kuko kuva kera na kare yakuzigamiye ibyiza, birimo n’ibi birori by’ishyingirwa. Nasingizwe!

Turashimira Imana yo soko y’ubuzima: Yarabugahaye kandi iraburinda none ngaha iguteje intambwe wahoze wifuza gutera, ikwinjije mu muhamagaro wo gushinga urugo waharaniye kuva kera. Tukwifurije ubukwe bwiza, uzagire urugo ruhire, ubyare hungu na kobwa, urerere umuryango na Kiliziya! “Uhoraho arabahe kugwira, mwebwe n’abana banyu! Murakagira umugisha w’Uhoraho, we waremye ijuru n’isi! (Z.115,14-15)”. Urugo rwanyu ruragahorane amahoro n’urukundo, ibyishimo n’imigisha, nuko guhirwa kwanyu gushingire ku mubano mufitanye n’Imana. Nta kabuza muzahirwa nimukunda Imana (Cfr. Ivug.28,1-4; Mt. 5,3-12). Muvandimwe, iyi minsi nikubere koko iminsi y’ibirori n’ibyishimo, iminsi idasibangana mu mateka y’ubuzima bwawe. Iyi minsi iragutere kuvuga aya magambo, usingiza Imana yo ishoboza abana bayo:

 “Icyo nkundira Uhoraho, ni uko yumva ijwi ryanjye iyo mutakambiye maze akunama, akantega amatwi; mu buzima bwanjye bwose sinzareka kumwiyambaza. (Z.116,1-2).” Rugamba Sipiriyani ati ‘urugo ni urukeye mwana wanjye… ntukajye urengwa ngo urwite urukiniro.’ Muvandimwe, kubaka urugo ni umuhamagaro kandi nta muhamagaro utagira umusaraba. Kubaho neza ni ukuzirikana ko uwo musaraba ari wo Nyagasani agusaba guheka kugira ngo umukurikire (Lk.14,27), ni ukuzirikana ko inabi itagomba kuganza ineza cyangwa ngo yiturwe indi, ni uguharanira kurenzaho kuzira inzika, ni ukuba isoko y’ibyishimo n’imbabazi mu gihe cy’agahinda n’ishavu. Ngibyo ibyo tukwifurije mu rugo rwawe. Niba ushaka kubaho neza mu muhamagaro wawe, uzahorane na Yezu; ubwo muri babiri, abe uwa gatatu mu rugo rwanyu.

Muvandimwe nkwifurije ubukwe bwiza!

“Nyagasani Mana ishobora byose, ni wowe washimye ko uyu ABAHIRE Pélagie atabaho wenyine nuko umuhuza n’umusore yiyemeje kwiyegurira; turagusaba tukwinginze ngo aba bana wahuje ubakomeze mu rukundo rwabo, ubakomeresheje urukundonyampuhwe rwawe. Urabarinde ibigeragezo badashoboye gutsinda kandi iteka ubabere ikiramiro. Bashoboze kubana mu mahoro, kwibaruka no kurerera ibitsina byombi. Tubigusabye ku bwa Yezu Kristu umwami wacu, amina!”

  “Nuko rero Dawe, turakwinginze, uhe ingo ziriho muri iki gihe gusugira, kunga ubumwe no ghushinga imizi ihamye. Uhe buri muntu mu bazituye gusagamba mu byishimo byo kumva ari kumwe n’abandi, kandi anogerwe no kubagirira imbabazi. Fasha ingo zose gutega amatwa amajwi y’abaziyambaza, no kwihutira kubakirana urugwiro. Ufashe buri rugo kwakira Roho Mutagatifu wawe, no kwemera buri munsi kuyoborwa na We, maze ingo zose zibe Ishingiro rya Kiliziya n’isoko y’amajyambere nyakuri. Ku bwa Yezu Kristu Umwami wacu. Amina.”

   Muvandimwe ABAHIRE Pélagie  nkwifurije urugo ruhire!

IGENYWA IMANA ISHIMA

v Kugenywa[1]

Igenywa ni ikimenyetso cy’isezerano Imana yagiranye n’umuryango wayo muri Aburahamu. Mu mategeko Imana yasabye Aburahamu kuzaca utazaba yarubahirije iryo sezerano rigaragarira mu mubiri kandi rizahoraho (Intg.17,9-14). Uhoraho, mu gihe cy’iyimukamisiri, yategetse Yozuwe, umuherezabitambo mukuru akaba n’umusimbura wa Musa, kubajisha ibuye ryo kugenyesha abisiraheli kuko abavukiye mu butayu batari baragenywe ngo bubahirize isezerano ry’Imana. Nuko Uhoraho abavanaho ikimwaro bari barakuye mu Misiri, ari cyo kutigenyesha (Yoz.5,9). Ese twirate ko twigenyesheje? Oya, abirata ko bagenywe baragowe! Iryo sezerano Imana yagiranye n’ isiraheli umuryango wayo ryawuteye kwirata no gushinga ijosi maze wiratana kugenywa ku mubiri aho kwiratana imigenzo myiza! Nyamara nta cyiza nko kwicisha bugufi, ukemera ko nawe uri umunyabyaha, aho kwirirwa wisobanura mu bidashinga. Bubahirije isezerano ariko batangira kwirengagiza ibindi Imana ibasaba, batangira guheza abanyamahanga babafata nk’abatazwi kandi batitaweho n’Imana.

Ibyo ni byo byatumye Imana ikoresheje umuhanuzi Yeremiya ibabwira ko bagowe (Yer.9,24). Ibinyujije kuri Musa, Imana ntiyahwemye gushishikariza umuryango wayo kugenywa by’ukuri, aribyo kugenywa ku mutima; gutinya Imana, gukurikiza inzira zayo no gukomeza amategeko n’amabwiriza itanga (Ivug,10,12-3.6). Abagenywe bumvaga ko nta muntu utaragenywe ukwiye gusurwa cyangwa ngo asangire na bo. Byari ikizira kuko batari bahuje ukwemera n’abo bitwaga abanduye, barahumanyaga. Ibyo byari bihabanye rwose n’umugambi w’Imana, yo yahaye n’abanyamahanga (abadakebwe) kuzura Roho Mutagatifu (Intu.10,4­4-48;11,2-3); Nguko kugenywa gukwiriye; kugenywa ku mutima, Kugenywa muri Yezu Kristu! Mtg. Pawulo, mu mabaruwa yandikiye abanyaroma n’abanyakorinti, ntahwema kutwibutsa ko Imana imwe ariyo izaha uwagenywe n’utaragenywe kuba intungane, bose babikesheje ukwemera. Bavandimwe, buri wese nagume uko ameze; uwagenywe ntakabihishe n’utarabikora abyihorere, kuko byose nta kavuro ahubwo dukurikize amategeko y’Imana (Rom.3,30;1Kor.7,18). Ntitugomba kwiratana ukugenywa k’umubiri wacu, ahubwo kugenywa ku mutima ndetse n’Umusaraba wa Kristu, ukwemera kujyana n’urukundo, Gusenga muri Roho Mutagatifu, no kuba ibiremwa bishya bityo tukagira ikuzo muri Yezu Kristu. Ngibyo kugenywa by’ukuri kandi ni nabyo bizadukiza. Niturangwe n’urukundo rudaheza kuko “udakunda aguma mu rupfu [rwa roho] (S. Philarète de Moscou; Discours aux novices). Ese bavandimwe bavokasiyoneri, kugira ngo muronke umukiro mwifuza, uyu mubiri benshi twiratana muwugaburira iki? Mute?

RERE NA RAMBA PART14

Bageze munsi y'urugo Ramba amwambika wa mupira yirirwanye, hanyuma na Rere akomeza kumwifuriza ihirwe agira ati

“Horana ihirwe no mu ngendo

Uzire kubarizwa ahadakwiye

Kugendwa natwe abagana Imana

Abayikunda n’abayisonzeye

Ni mu ngendo z’abasebya Imana

Abanga ibyayo hamwe n’abayo

Ni mu ngendo z’abagengwa n’isi

Urahahunge ntihagukwiye

Kuhahunga biragukwiye

Uhitaze, uhanyure hirya

Abaho bose bo urabakire

Ubakirize iby’Imana

Urabakirize iby’urukundo

Rurya rutwinjiza mu bugingo

Ubigishe kugira gahunda

No kudatwa n’iby’umuhanda

Nubatoza kubaho neza

Ubabera irebero rudasumbwa

Ukabikora kuko ubikunze

Uziturwa ‘Horana ihirwe! ‘

Erega ubuzima ni ishuli

Urige neza kandi utsinde

Ubere irebero abandi bali

Urahirwe ugume ubitsinde

Icyampa ihirwe nanjye nkumvwa

Ijuru n’abaryo bakabishima

Ibyo nifuza bakabikunda

Wabaho utuje uri Nyaguhirwa

Icyampa rwose rikagukesha

Ndavuga iri bango rito ngutuye

Ryo rituye umutima ushima

Ukabirata ndetse utagenzwe.”

Rere akirangiza uyu muvugo abwira Rmba ati "ibyo kugenda utageze mu rugo ubyibagirwe!" Sibwo Ramba amuherekeje akamugeza mu rugo! Bageze mu rugo bakiriwe na Papa Rere kuko mama we yari mu gikoni, Papa yarangije kubasuhuza intebe bari bwicareho bombi zahageze. Rere yenze agatamboro gatukura ahanagura ku ntebe yagenewe umukunzi we, Ramba aricara hanyuma Rere we aho kwicara kuyamugenewe, yiyicarira hamwe na Ramba. Hashize akanya gato Ramba arasezera ngo atahe, bikubitirana n'uko Mama Rere ari kuzana ibyo kurya maze Rere arahaguruka ajya kwicara ku muryango kugira ngo amubuze gusohoka hanyuma aramubwira ati "ibyo nakoze iwanyu wabyibagiwe se? Ahubwo uryoherwe!" Barasangiye hanyuma Ramba arasezera ngo atahe Rere aramuherekeza amugeza ku irembo nuko amukurura ishati ngo ahindukure hanyuma amufata mu byano, aramubwira ati "tugiye gutandukana, ariko nzagukumbura, kuba hamwe nanjye ni ukunyongeramo ibyishimo naho gutandukana ni ukwegukira ibigeragezo. Ndagukunda muvandimwe!

Icyampa nkigerera aho nshaka

hamwe nshaka kugeza abanjye

Tukawuronka umukiro wacu

Ukaba mu byacu hamwe n’abacu

Mana inkunda, Mubyeyi wacu

Nkuragize byose kuko urabizi

Uraturinde igihe n’iminsi

Iteka ryose uhore mu byacu.”

Ramba na we amuhobera amubwira ati

“Kabeho undinde kubura abatambyi

Batamba imbuga tubareba

Kabeho ushigikiwe n'umutambyi

Akurinde icyago adukize icyaha

Kabeho cyarire cy'urukundo

Gasasire ukereye gukesha

Gahorane ibyiza biruta umurundo

Bigufasha byose kuba umukesha

Kabeho iteka undora mu maso

Uhore utuye amaboko yanjye

Kabeho utaha ibibero byanjye

Maze duhuze habe umutuzo.

Urabeho !"

Rere kwihangana biranga, ararira. Ramba amuhanaguza agatambaro kererana nuko aramubwira ati " Seka sha, sinshaka gusiga urira."Mu gihe Rere akiyumvira, Ramba amusaba kuzamura amaboko hejuru kandi akayagorora neza. Rere yabikoze neza hanyuma Ramba amukirigita mu maha bituma Rere aseka asa n'uwibagiwe icyamurizaga kuko Ramba yamusekeje cyane. Ramba abonye ko ageze ku ntego ye yo gusiga umukunzi we atakirira, amusezeraho arataha. Bwakeye neza ageze kure kuko yakoraga urugendo rutari ruto kugira ngo agere aho aributegere. Mu gihembwe cyose, Ramba yajyaga afata umwanya wo gutekereza ku mibanire ye na Rere hanyuma agatura Imana isengesho ayiragiza umukobwa we, ati "Shimwa Mana waremye muntu mu ishusho yawe, ukamuha n'ubwigenge bwo guhitamo icyiza abwirijwe na Roho wawe ; shimirwa kuba warandemye, ukampa guhitamo umukobwa mwiza Rere ngo tuzafatanye imiruho y'iyi si mu rugo tuzashinga igihe nikigera. None rero Mugenga wa byose, nkuragije uyu mukobwa, umufashe guhora azirikana ko mukunda by'ukuri kandi nanjye unkomeze kugira ngo ntazatatira igihango cyo kumukundisha ubuzima nkukesha, maze twembi tuzanezezwe no kwambikana impeta y'urudatana no kubana ubuziraherezo dukereye kukurerera wowe uha urugo rushya kwibaruka abana. Roho Mutagatifu dutoze guhinduka by'ukuri." Kanda aha, usome ikindi gice.
