Mutagatifu Simoni

Simoni Mutagatifu ni umwe mu Ntumwa cumi n’ebyiri za Yezu Kristu, kandi avugwa mu bitabo by’Ivanjili. Yavukaga i Kana mu Galileya nk’uko tubisanga mu Ivanjili ya Yezu Kristu, uko yanditswe na Matayo 10, 4. Kuba mu Ivanjili bamwita « umurwanashyaka », bakeka ko yaba yarabanje kuba mu gatsiko k’abayahudi kari gafite ishyaka ryo kurwanya abanyaroma bari barabakolonije. Aba barwanashyaka bitwazaga inkota ngufi mu myambaro yabo, babona umusirikare w’umunyaroma arangaye bakayimutera maze bakihisha. Simoni rero yacitse ako gatsiko maze aza mu bigishwa ba Yezu.

Kimwe n’uko bashobora kuba baramuhimbye ‘umurwanashyaka’ bitewe n’ishyaka yagaragazaga. Ariko kandi izina Simoni bisobanura « uwumva », « usobanukirwa », (« qui entend »). Simoni yari umurwanashyaka, urwanira ibyo yemera akoresheje imbaraga ze zose, kabone n’ubwo yatanga ubuzima bwe. Simoni amaze kumva ijwi ry’Umwana w’Imana rimuhamagara, yahisemo kureka kwitwara nka mbere, yiyemeza kugendana na Yezu. Amaze gufata icyemezo cyo kugendana na Yezu, yazanye n’ishyaka yari asanganywe ngo arikoreshe mu kwamamaza Inkuru Nziza.

Simoni yari mu Ntumwa zakurikiye Yezu zikuze. Kuba yari inararibonye mu buzima bwe byatumye atega amatwi Yezu, ntagaragaze amashagaga, yiteguye ko igihe Yezu azamutuma kwamamaza inkuru nziza azakoreshya ishyaka rye n’ubushishozi yari afite. Mu ntumwa za Yezu, Simoni yari umuntu uzi gucisha make, akamenya gushishoza, agakiza impaka kandi akumva vuba ibyo Yezu yabaga yabigishije. Abakristu ba mbere bavuga ko Simoni yaba yaragiye kwamamaza Ivanjili mu gihugu cya Misiri, Libiya no muri Aligeriya. Nyuma yaho, akaba yarasanze Intumwa Yuda ari we Tadeyo, bakajya kwamamaza Inkuru nziza hakurya y’umugezi wa Ewufurati (Euphrate) mu gihugu cy’Ubuperisi.

Icyo gihe hari mu bwami bw’abapariti (empire parthe). Aho ni mu majyepfo y’igihugu cya Arumeniya cy’ubu. Simoni na Yuda Tadeyo bamaze guhurira mu Buperisi, bafatanyije kwigisha Inkuru Nziza ya Yezu Kristu; bombi ni n’aho bapfiriye bahowe Imana. Babishe ariko barabanje gukora umurimo utoroshye muri icyo gihugu. Kuko bari barahinduye abantu benshi bakaba abakristu ndetse n’umwami n’ingabo ze nyinshi bakemera kubatizwa. Bishwe n’abarwanyaga ubukristu bo mu yindi mirwa y’igihugu aho bari baragiye kwamamaza Ivanjili.

Muri iyo mijyi hari ibigirwamana by’ibibumbano, ibyo rero Simoni na Yuda banga kubyubaha, bibaviramo kwicwa. Bavuga ko Simoni Intumwa yaba yarapfuye bamuciyemo kabiri bakoresheje urukezo kuko atashyigikiye ibigirwamana by’ibibumbano byabo. Bakunze kumwerekana afite urukezo. Ubundi bakamwerekana afite Igitabo cy’Ivanjili ari kumwe na Yuda Tadeyo we afite ubuhiri kuko aribwo yicishijwe.

Ngiye kuyirukana rero. » Nuko muri ibyo bibumbano hasohokamo amashitani afite amashusho ateye ubwoba cyane ; maze n’ibyo bibumbano birashwanyagurika.
