Mutagatifu Filipo IntumwaAbatagatifu Filipo na Yakobo, Intumwa
Ni umwe mu Ntumwa cumi n’ebyiri, akaba uwa gatanu mu Ntumwa Yezu Kristu
yatoye. I Galileya ni ho yavukiye, ni uwo mu mujyi wa Betsayida, ku nkombe
y’ikiyaga cya Tiberiya, umujyi wavukiyemo Petero na Andereya. Ivanjili ya
Yohani Mutagatifu itubwira uko Filipo yatowe na Yezu, n’uko yazanye inshuti ye
yitwa Natanayeli akayereka Yezu. Mu Ivanjili ya Yohani kandi, Yezu amwerekana
nk’umunyamabanga we inshuro eshatu. Mbere y’uko Yezu akora igitangaza cyo
gutubura imigati, yabanje kuvugana na Filipo (Yh, 6, 5-7) ndeste n’Abagereki,
ni we babanje gusaba kubona Yezu. (Yh, 12, 21-22).
Izina Filipo bisobanura ‘umunwa w’itara’, cyangwa umuntu ukunda iby’agaciro
ko hejuru. (Philos: urukundo, uper: hejuru). Bishobora no gusobanura kandi
‘ukunda amafarasi’. Filipo ni we wasabye Yezu ko yabereka Se (Yn, 14, 7-12).
Yezu amaze gufatwa, mu murima w’imizeti, Filipo yarahunze, nk’uko byagendekeye
izindi Ntumwa. Nyuma ya Penekositi, Filipo yaba yaragiye kwamamaza Inkuru Nziza
ya Yezu Kristu mu karere ka Aziya no mu Bugereki, yigisha abaturage bitwa
abasite (Scythes), abanyagalati, n’Abanyafirijiya. Abayahudi baramwangaga cyane
ku buryo umuherezabitambo mukuru yigeze kumufata amukubitisha ibiboko.
Abaturage bakunze inyigisho ze nshya kandi biteguye kuzakira nk’uko uwo
munyabitangaza ukomeye yari azibazaniye. Ariko abategetsi bakomeye bo muri uwo
mujyi bafata Filipo, bamukubita ibiboko, baramubamba, barangije bamutera
amabuye menshi, apfa atyo, ahagana mu mwaka wa 80, apfira ahitwa Hiyerapolisi
(Hierapolis) muri Firijiya (Phrygie). Ubu hitwa Pamukale, muri Turukiya. Ni yo
mpamvu bamwerekana ku mashusho ari umukambwe, afite agataro karimo amababi,
afite n’umusaraba ufite inkoni eshatu zitambitse.
Umunsi umwe, abaturage b’uwo mujyi barimo batura ububani ikiyoka kinini
cyari imwe mu mana zabo zikomeye, Filipo abagirira impuhwe, arapfukama, asaba
Imana kubakiza iyo shitani yari yarihinduye ikiyoka. Muri ako kanya icyo kiyoka
gihita gipfa. Filipo yishwe ku ngoma ya Domisiyani. Ni Papa Pelaje I, mu gisekuruza cya VI, i
Roma yubatseyo Kiliziya yeguriwe
Intumwa cumi n’ebyiri, ubwo nibwo yategetse ko ibisigazwa bya Mutagatifu Filipo
kimwe n’ibya Mutagatifu Yakobo mwene Alufeyi, byakurwa i Hierapolis, bikajyanwa
i Roma. Twizihiza Mutagatifu Filipo, ku itariki 3 Gicuransi.
Mutagatifu Yakobo muto, Intumwa (Jacques,
le mineur),
Mutagatifu Yakobo,
Intumwa na we tumwibuka kuwa 3 Gicurasi. Ni we bise muto kugirango
batamwitiranya na Yakobo, mukuru wa Yohani Intumwa. Yakobo ni uwo mu muryango
wa Yuda, akaba mubyara wa Yezu. Bavuga ko ku mubiri yajyaga gusa na Yezu,
ndetse n’igihe Yezu asubiriye mu Ijuru, abavugaga Yezu bamubwira abataramubonye
bavugaga ko yenda gusa na Yakobo. Yakobo muto avukana na Mutagatifu Tadeyo. Uyu
murumuna we batorewe rimwe kuba intumwa. Nyuma ya Pentekositi, Intumwa zagiye
mu mahanga kwigisha, Yakobo muto we aguma i Yeruzalemu, nuko yihatira kujijura
abayahudi.
Yari umuntu wubashywe,
afite ijambo muri Kiliziya ya mbere. Mu nama nkuru y’i Yeruzalemu ni we wahagurutse
avuga akurikiye Petero mutagatifu. Tumukesha ibaruwa nziza iri muri Bibiliya
ntagatifu. Yahinduye abayahudi benshi, harimo n’abakomeye, bimutera gutotezwa
cyane. Umunsi umwe, Abakuru b’abayahudi baramufatisha, bamwuriza irembo rya
Hekaru hejuru cyane. Mbere yo kumujugunya iyo hasi, babanje kumusaba ngo
ababwire ukuri kwerekeye Yezu. Nuko Yakobo mutagatifu arabasubiza ati kuki
mumbaza ibyerekeye Kristu? Ubu yicaye iburyo bw’Imana Data. Kandi umunsi umwe
azagaruka mumubone ahagaze ku bicu.
N’ubwo imbaga y’abari
bamuteze amatwi yemeraga inyigisho ze, kubera ishyari ry’abakuru b’abayahudi,
bajugunye Yakobo hasi, ahanuka hejuru cyane aravunagurika ariko agira imbaraga
zo gupfukama, asenga asabira abo bishi be avuga nk’uko Nyagasani Yezu yavuze
ati: “ Nyagasani bababarire kuko batazi icyo bakora”. Nuko bamukubita inyundo
mu mutwe, apfa ubwo. Hari muri 62.
