Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba

Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
ku nkingi z’umuriro. Ubwo ibirimi by’umuriro byari biri hafi gucecekesha amajwi yabo,
bagatwikwa, Latimer yabwiye bagenzi be baziraga ukwizera kwabo ati: “Nimukomere, ku
bw’ubuntu bw’Imana, uyu munsi turakongeza itara mu Bwongereza, kandi nk’uko
mbyiringira, ntirizigera rizima.” 265
Muri Sikotilandi, imbuto z’ukuri zabibwe na Columba na bagenzi be zari
zitarahubanganye rwose. Kubera ko mu gihe cy’imyaka amagana menshi nyuma y’uko
amatorero yo mu Bwongereza yemera kugengwa na Roma, amatorero yo muri Sikotilandi yo
yakomeje kugira umudendezo wayo. Nyamara mu kinyejana cya cumi na kabiri, ubupapa
bwahashinze imizi kandi nta kindi gihugu bwagaragajemo ubutware bukomeye nk’iki. Nta
handi hari umwijima mwinshi nkaho. Nyamara hari hakigera imyambi y’umucyo
yahuranyaga mu mwijima kandi igatanga icyizere cy’umunsi ugiye kuza. Aba Lollards
baturukaga mu Bwongereza bazanye Bibiliya n’inyigisho za Wycliffe, bakoze byinshi mu
gutuma abantu bamenya ubutumwa bwiza, kandi buri kinyejana cyagiye kigira abahamya
bacyo n’abapfa bazize ukwizera kwabo.
Mu itangira ry’Ubugorozi bukomeye, nibwo habonetse inyandiko za Luteri maze
hakurikiraho Isezerano Rishya ryasobanuwe na Tyndale mu Cyongereza. Inzego z’ubutegetsi
bw’itorero zitigeze zibimenya, izo ntumwa zambukiranyaga imisozi n’ibibaya bucece,
zigacana mu bantu amatara y’ukuri yari hafi kuzima muri Sikotilandi, kandi uwo mucyo
ugasenya umurimo Roma yari yarakoze mu gihe cy’ibinyejana bine yayoboresheje igitugu.
Bityo imivu y’amaraso y’abarenganyirizwaga kwizera kwabo iha imbaraga nshya
ubugorozi. Abakuru b’ubuyobozi bwa Roma bakangukiye hejuru kubw’akaga kari kugarije
umurimo wabo, maze bafata bamwe mu bakomeye n’abubahwaga cyane muri Sikotilandi,
baburiza inkingi z’umuriro barabatwika. Nyamara mu kugenza batyo, icyo babaga bakoze
cyari ukubaka uruhimbi aho abo bahamya babaga bicwa bavugiraga amagambo yumvikanaga
mu gihugu cyose, agatuma abantu bagira umugambi udatezuka wo kwiganzura ingoyi ya
Roma.
Hamilton na Wishart, bavutse ari ibikomangoma kandi bikanagaragarira mu mico yabo,
hamwe n’abandi bigishwa benshi bicishaga bugufi, batanze ubuzima bwabo batwikirwa ku
mambo. Ariko aho Wishart yatwikiwe, havuye umuntu utarabashaga gucecekeshwa n’ibirimi
by’umuriro, uwari gukoreshwa n’Imana maze akarwanya ubwicanyi bwakorwaga n’ubupapa
muri Sikotilandi.
Yohani Knox yari yaritandukanyije n’imigenzo n’ibihimbano by’itorero kugira ngo abone
uko ahazwa n’ukuri kw’Ijambo ry’Imana; kandi inyigisho za Wishart zari zarashimangiye
icyemezo cye cyo guca umubano hagati ye na Roma ,maze yifatanya n’abagorozi
batotezwaga.
Ubwo yasabwaga na bagenzi be gufata inshingano yo kubwiriza, yarabitinye ahinda
umushyitsi. Yaje kubyemera nyuma yo kumara iminsi yiherereye wenyine kandi
