Ijambo rya Yehova ni rizima:
Ingingo z’ingenzi z’ibikubiye mu gitabo cy’Umubwiriza
UMUKURAMBERE Yobu yaravuze ati “umuntu wabyawe n’umugore, arama igihe gito kandi cyuzuyemo umuruho” (Yobu 14:1). Mbega ukuntu ari iby’ingenzi ko twirinda gupfusha ubusa ubuzima bwacu bugufi mu bikorwa bitagira umumaro cyangwa duhatanira kugira ibyo tugeraho! Ni ibihe bintu twagombye gukurikirana tukemera ko bidutwara imbaraga, igihe n’ubutunzi bwacu? Ni ibihe bintu twagombye kwirinda gutaho igihe? Amagambo y’ubwenge yanditse mu gitabo cyo muri Bibiliya cy’Umubwiriza aduha ubuyobozi bwiringirwa kuri iyo ngingo. Ubutumwa buyakubiyemo bufite imbaraga zo “kugenzura ibyo umutima wibwira ukagambirira” kandi bushobora gutuma tugira ubuzima bufite ireme.—Abaheburayo 4:12.
Salomo, umwami wa Isirayeli ya kera wanditse igitabo cy’Umubwiriza yari yaramamaye kubera ubwenge bwe, akaba ari yo mpamvu icyo gitabo gikubiyemo inama zifatika, zigaragaza ibintu bifite akamaro mu buzima n’ibidafite akamaro. Kubera ko Salomo avuga iby’imwe mu mishinga y’ubwubatsi yakoze, agomba kuba yaranditse igitabo cy’Umubwiriza nyuma y’uko iyo mishinga irangira ariko mbere y’uko ayobywa akareka ugusenga k’ukuri (Nehemiya 13:26). Ibyo bituma tuvuga ko iki gitabo cyanditswe mbere y’umwaka wa 1000 Mbere ya Yesu, ahagana ku iherezo ry’imyaka 40 Salomo yamaze ku ngoma.
NI IKI KITARI UBUSA?
Umubwiriza yaravuze ati “nabonye imirimo yose ikorerwa munsi y’ijuru, kandi mbona byose ari ubusa, ni nko kwiruka inyuma y’umuyaga” (Umubwiriza 1:14). Ayo magambo ngo “ubusa” ndetse na “munsi y’ijuru” aboneka incuro nyinshi mu gitabo cy’Umubwiriza. Ijambo ry’Igiheburayo ryahinduwemo “ubusa” rifashwe uko ryakabaye risobanura “umwuka duhumeka” cyangwa “umwuka ucucumba uva mu mazi,” kandi ryumvikanisha ikintu kitagira umumaro, kitaramba cyangwa kidafite agaciro kamara igihe. Amagambo ngo “munsi y’ijuru” asobanurwa ngo “muri iyi isi.” Ubwo rero ibintu byose, ni ukuvuga ibyo abantu bahatanira kugeraho byose batitaye ku mugambi w’Imana, ni ubusa.
Salomo yaravuze ati ‘nujya mu nzu y’Imana ujye urinda ikirenge cyawe, wegere wumve’ (Umubwiriza 4:17). Gusenga Yehova Imana by’ukuri si ubusa. Ni koko, guha agaciro imishyikirano dufitanye na we bituma tugira ubuzima bufite ireme.
Ibibazo bishingiye ku Byanditswe byashubijwe:
1:4-10—Ni mu buhe buryo ibintu kamere bigenda byisubiramo bitera “umuruho”? Umubwiriza avuga ibintu bitatu gusa by’ingenzi bituma ubuzima ku isi bushoboka ari byo: izuba, umuyaga, n’umwikubo w’amazi. Mu by’ukuri, ibintu kamere bigenda byisubiramo ni byinshi kandi kubisobanukirwa birakomeye. Umuntu ashatse kubyiga yazarangiza ubuzima bwe atarabisobanukirwa mu buryo bwuzuye. Birumvikana ko ibyo bishobora kuba “umuruho.” Ntibyaba ari iby’ubwenge kandi kugereranya igihe gito tumara ku isi n’uruhererekane rutarangira rw’ibyo bintu bigenda byisubiramo. Ndetse n’imihati abantu bashyiraho kugira ngo bagerageze kuvumbura ibintu bishya na yo ni umuruho. N’ubundi kandi, ibintu bivumburwa nta gishya kiba kirimo usibye kwigana amahame yo mu rwego rwa siyansi Imana y’ukuri yashyizeho kandi ikaba yarayakoresheje mu irema.
2:1, 2—Kuki ibitwenge bivugwa ko ari “ubusazi”? Ibitwenge bishobora kudufasha kwiyibagiza ibibazo byacu akanya gato kandi ibikorwa byo kwinezeza bishobora kudufasha kumva turuhutse ibibazo akanya gato. Ariko kandi, ibitwenge ntibidukuriraho bya bibazo tuba duhanganye na byo. Ni yo mpamvu gushakishiriza ibyishimo mu bitwenge bivugwa ko ari “ubusazi.”
3:11—Ni ibihe bintu Imana yakoze ‘ari byiza mu gihe cyabyo’? Bimwe mu bintu ‘byiza’ cyangwa bikwiriye kandi by’ingirakamaro Yehova Imana yakoze mu gihe cyabyo ni ukurema Adamu na Eva, isezerano ry’umukororombya, isezerano yagiranye na Aburahamu, isezerano yagiranye na Dawidi, kuza kwa Mesiya, no kwimika Yesu Kristo ngo abe Umwami w’Ubwami bw’Imana. Ariko kandi, hari ikindi kintu Yehova agiye kuzagira “cyiza” vuba aha. Dushobora kwiringira ko isi nshya ikiranuka izashyirwaho igihe Imana yateganyije nikigera.—2 Petero 3:13.
5:8—Ni mu buhe buryo ‘uburumbuke bw’igihugu ari ubwa bose’? Abatuye isi bose batunzwe n’“uburumbuke bw’igihugu”, ni ukuvuga ibiva mu butaka. Umwami na we ni uko. Kugira ngo abone umusaruro uturuka mu isambu ye, abagaragu be baba bagomba kumuvunikira, bakamuhingira iyo sambu.
Icyo ibyo bitwigisha:
1:15. Kwirirwa uta igihe cyawe n’imbaraga zawe ngo urakosora akarengane n’ikandamiza tubona muri iyi minsi nta cyo bimaze. Ubwami bw’Imana bwonyine ni bwo bushobora gukuraho ububi.—Daniyeli 2:44.

2:12-16. Ubwenge buruta ubupfapfa mu buryo bw’uko bushobora kudufasha gukemura ibibazo bimwe na bimwe. Ariko kandi iyo urupfu ruje, ubwenge bw’abantu nta mumaro buba bugifite. Ndetse n’iyo umuntu yaba yari icyamamare kubera ubwo bwenge, ahita yibagirana.

Umuntu ugira amagambo menshi, abandi bashobora kumufata nk’umupfapfa kandi amagambo menshi ashobora gutuma yihutira guhigira Imana umuhigo atatekerejeho. ‘Kubaha Imana’ y’ukuri biturinda gukora ibintu nk’ibyo.
6:1-9. Ubukire, ikuzo, kurama, ndetse no kugira umuryango mugari byaba bimaze iki niba imimerere turimo ituma tutishimira ibyo byose? “Kubonesha amaso” cyangwa kubona ibintu uko biri biruta “kuzerereza umutima,” ni ukuvuga guhatanira guhaza ibyifuzo by’ibintu udashobora kuzapfa ugezeho. Uburyo bwiza bwo kubaho rero ni ukunyurwa n’uko “dufite ibyo kurya n’imyambaro,” ubundi tukanezezwa n’ibintu byiza byo mu buzima ari na ko dukomeza kubumbatira imishyikirano myiza dufitanye na Yehova.—1 Timoteyo 6:8.
INAMA ZIGIRWA UMUNYABWENGE
Ni gute dushobora kurinda izina ryiza twihesha cyangwa icyubahiro dufite? Ni iyihe mitekerereze tugira ku byerekeye abatware b’abantu n’akarengane dushobora kuba tubona? Bitewe n’uko abapfuye nta bwimenye bafite, ni iyihe mibereho twari dukwiriye kugira muri iki gihe? Ni gute abakiri bato bashobora gukoresha neza igihe cyabo n’imbaraga zabo?

Ibibazo bishingiye ku Byanditswe byashubijwe:
7:19—Ni gute ubwenge bukomeye kuruta “abatware icumi”? Mu mvugo y’ikigereranyo ikoreshwa muri Bibiliya, umubare icumi usobanura ibintu byuzuye. Salomo yashakaga kuvuga ko ubushobozi ubwenge bufite bwo kurinda abantu buruta ubw’umubare wuzuye w’abarwanyi bose barinda umudugudu.
10:2—Kuba umutima w’umuntu uri “iburyo bwe” cyangwa “ibumoso bwe” bisobanura iki? Kubera ko kuba iburyo bw’umuntu bigereranya imimerere yo gutoneshwa, kuba umutima w’umuntu uri iburyo bwe byumvikanisha ko umushishikariza gukora ibyiza. Niba umutima we umushishikariza gukora ibintu bibi rero, ni ukuvuga ko uba uri ibumoso bwe.
10:15—Ni gute ‘imirimo y’abapfapfa ibananiza’? Iyo umuntu adashyira mu gaciro, imihati ashyiraho mu byo akora nta cyo igeraho kigaragara. Ntibituma anyurwa. Uko guhatana ubudatuza bituma ananirwa gusa.
11:7, 8—Iyi nteruro ngo “umucyo uranezeza kandi kureba izuba bishimisha amaso” isobanura iki? Umucyo n’izuba ni ibintu bituma ubuzima bushimisha.

Ahubwo, kwihatira gukoresha “ubwenge” kugira ngo tugere ku ntego ni byo bifite akamaro.

“AMAGAMBO Y’ABANYABWENGE” ARATUYOBORA
Ni gute tubona “amagambo akwiriye” umubwiriza yakusanyije akayandika? Mu buryo butandukanye n’“ibitabo byinshi” birimo ubwenge bw’abantu, “amagambo y’abanyabwenge ameze nk’ibihosho, n’amagambo y’abakuru b’amateraniro ameze nk’imbereri zishimangiwe cyane, yatanzwe n’umwungeri umwe” (Umubwiriza 12:10-12). Amagambo y’ubwenge yatanzwe n’“umwungeri umwe” ari we Yehova, atuma tugira ubuzima buhamye.
Koko rero, gushyira mu bikorwa inama zirangwa n’ubwenge ziboneka mu gitabo cy’Umubwiriza bizadufasha kugira imibereho myiza kandi y’ibyishimo. Ikindi kandi, duhabwa ihumure rivuga ko “abubaha Imana bari imbere yayo ari bo bazamererwa neza.” Nimucyo rero, twe kunamuka ku cyemezo twafashe cyo ‘kubaha Imana kandi tugakomeza amategeko yayo.’—Umubwiriza 8:12; 12:13.
