Cakulundapo 32: Umupuupu Pa Capindama

Umuppupu ''aalandile kuli Yesu, Shikulu, mukebukishe ine lintu imwe mukeesa mu Bufumu bwenu. Na Yesu aalandile kuli wene, Ilelo iwe uleba na ine mu paradaise'' (Luka 23:42,43). Amavesi aya yasendwa ukupilibula ukuti ulubatisho taluli ulwafwaikwa pe pusukilo, no kuti ifwe tuya ku Mulu ilyo line fye panuma ya mfwa. Ukufumyako icishininkisho cimbi conse icapusanako, ukubelenga ukwakulolekesha palwa mashiwi aya kwasokolola ifyakonkapo ifi:

1. Ifunde lya kubatishiwa mu mfwa yakwa Kristu no kubuuka kwakwe ukufuma ku bafwa lyapeelwe panuma ya kubuuka kwakwa Kristu ukufuma ku bafwa (Marko 16:15,16). Umupuupu ulya acili aaleikala pesamba lya Mafunde yakwa Mose lintu Kristu aasosele kuli wene.

2. Ulubabatisho lwa cine ni mu mfwa no kubuuka kwakwa Yesu ukufuma ku bafwa. Pa kumona ukuti lintu Yesu aasosele ku mupuupu ifintu filya fyali tafilacitika, eco ulubatisho muli Kristu talwali icingacitika.

3. Ulubatisho cishibilo ca kufwa kweesu pamo na Kristu (Abena Roma 6:3-5). Umupuupu e muntu fye eka uyo uwacitile ici mu cituntulu.

4. Cene cili icingacitika icakuti umupuupu aali umo pali balya abo ababatishiwe kuli Yohane kabatisha. Abengi aba mu bapilibwiike bakwe intanshi baali ba misango ya mfifi (Mateo 21:32). Ukulanda ukuti umupuupu taali uwabatishiwa e kutaalika ukufuma mu kwikala tondolo; ukushili amano yasuma umwakufisama ukufuma kwi funde lya kubatishiwa. Cimo cine, ilyashi lili tondolo pa mashiwi 'umweo' na 'umulu'.

5. Umupuupu aipwishe Yesu ukwibukisha wene lyonse, lintu Yesu akabwela ''mu'' Bufumu bwakwe (R.S.V.). Eico umupuupu taali umutuutu ne Mbila nsuma ya Bufumu bwakwa Lesa intu Yesu aaleebila (Mateo 4:23). Wene aaishiibe ukuti kukaba ubushiku bwa bupingulo pa kupaampamikwa kwa Bufumu bulya, eico kabili wene aaipwishe Yesu, untu wene aaishiibe ukuti aali no kubuuka ukufuma ku bafwa mukupelekesha ukuba kapingula pa bushiku bulya, ukwibukisha wene lyonse. Umupuupu icine cine taali mutuutu; wene aaishiibe ukuti ipusukilo mu bushiku bwa kubuuka ukufuma ku bafwa no bupingulo likasoswa ukufuma ku milomo yakwa Kristu.

6. Yesu aayaswike ukuti umupuupu akaba pamo na wene mu ''Paradaise''. Ishiwi ili ilya ciGreek lyonse lisonta ku nshita iyapwililila pa calo. Lyene liboomfiwa palwe Bala lya Edeni ilikabweshiwa ilyo ilikamoneka mu Bufumu bwakwa Lesa ubwa kuntanshi pa calo (Ukusokolola 2:7). Munshita ya Bufumu bwakwa Lesa, isonde likabwelela mu musango wa kupalana na paradaise we Bala lya Edeni (Esaya 51:3; Esekiele 36:35), pamulandu wa citiipu ukufumishiwapo (Ukusokolola 22:3). Icipingo ca Kale ica ciGreek (Septuagint) ciboomfya ishiwi limo line ilya ciGreek pali ''paradaise'' palwa nshita iya mabala pa calo muli Lukala milandu 2:5; Nehemia 2:8; Ulwimbo lwa nyimbo 4:13; Ukutendeka 13:10. 'Paradaise' akuminishiwa fye no Mulu ukupitila mu kuboomfya kwakwe mu fishimi pamo nge cakwa Milton icakuti 'Paradaise Aaluba' (Milton's 'Paradise Lost'). Icilayo cakwa Yesu ica cifulo ca mupuupu mu paradaise cali ni pa kwasuka ku kufwaya kwakwe ukuba mu Bufumu bwakwa Kristu. Ifwe tulangile mwi Sambililo 5 ukuti Ubufumu bukaba pa calo; eico 'paradaise' akaba palya pamo.

7. Inshila intu vesi 43 ilingi apilibwilwamo icita wene ukumoneka kwati Kristu no mupuupu baali no kuba capamo ubushiku bulya bwine mu 'paradaise'. Lelo ukwabulo kutwishika Ubufumu bucili tabulapaampamikwa pa calo. Bene tabaile ku Bufumu ubushiku bulya. Yesu aile ku nshiishi (Imilimo 2:32); ngefyo wene aaseseme, wene aali ''inshiku shitatu akasuba no bushiku mukati ka mushili'' (Mateo 12:40 pashanya 16:21) panuma ya mfwa yakwe pa capindama. Nangu fye panuma ya kubuuka ukufuma ku bafwa wene aalandile ''Wikumya ine; pantu ine nshilati ninikwe ukuya kuli Tata'' (Yohane 20:17). Eico Yesu taile ku Mulu ubushiku wene aafwile.

Lelo Yesu amoneka ukulaya umupuupu ''Ilelo iwe uleba na ine mu paradaise''. Ubwasuko ku kumoneka kwa kupinkana uku buli no kusangwa mu cishinka cakuti mu kulembwa kwantanshi kwa Baibele ukwa ciYuda ne ciGreek, tamuli filembo fya kwimika amashiwi (punctuation) nangu fye ifilembo ifikalamba (capital letters). Cene kuti cacitika ukulemba libili ifilembo fya kwimika amashiwi pakuti ifwe tubelenge ukuti ''Yesu aalandile kuli wene, Icine cine ine nalanda kuli iwe ilelo, iwe ukaba na ine mu paradaise'' (Luka 23:43). Ukupilibula kwa Baibele ukwakwa Rotherham mu cituntulu kwabiika icilembo ca kwimika (,) panuma ye shiwi ''ilelo''. Ici caingila mu mashiwi busaka busaka. Umupuupu aalelomba kuli Yesu ukwibukisha wene lyonse pa bushiku bwa bupingulo; wene aaishiibe ukuti wene aali uwakumako, kabili akamoneka kulya. Lelo Yesu aapeele wene icilayo cakupapa - 'Ine kuti naeba iwe nomba line fye! Iwe tauli no kulolela ukufika ku nshita ilya pa kusanga ukupingula kwandi pali iwe - iwe ukaba na ine mu Bufumu!'.

8. Ukufuma mu fishinka ifyamonwa pamulu, cene kuti cacitika ukutantika amasambilisho yantu umupuupu aailwike mu cishinka:

- Ubufumu bwakwa Lesa - Ukwisa kwacibili ukwakwa Kristu - Ukubuuka ukufuma ku bafwa no bupingulo - Ukukumako - Ipusukilo ukupitila mu citetekelo muli Kristu - Ukubuuka kwakwa Kristu ukufuma ku bafwa - Ukupwililila kwakwa Kristu (''umuntu uyu taacitapo cintu mukulufyanya'') - Ukukabila ukukonka Kristu (wene aaitile wene ''Shikulu'') - Ulubembu lwa muntu (''Ifwe icine cine calinga'')

Eico cene tacilolelemo ukuboomfya umuntu uyu nge cakufisamamo pa kutontonkanya ukuti umuntu onse kuti apusushiwa nga wene alanga ukukabila panono mu bwina Kristu; kufwile ukuba umusango we shintililo lye sambilisho lintu wene aakweete. Ukwabula ici, wene nga taali na maka ya kwima ukufika ku kusaansuka kwa citetekelo cintu wene aakweete. Kristu taapeele ipusukilo nakalya ku mupuupu umbi, uyo imibeele yakwe yaali yakuti, ''Iwe nga uli Kristu, uipusushe we mwine na ifwe''. Pano e pali umuntu uyo alelanda ukuti, 'Nga muli icintu cimo mu mulimo uyu uwakwa Yesu, ine nshimweene umulandu uwingalenga ine ukukaanakwata icintu cimo'. Cene cali ni pamulandu wakuti wene aabulilwe ukwiluka kwe sambilisho kuntu umupuupu wacibili aakweete eco wene taali na maka ya kusanga ipusukilo lya cine pa mpela ya nshiku shakwe, ukufumyako ukukabila kwa muli yesu ukwa mukupita.
