Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba

Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
kuko muri iryo teraniro imiryango cumi n’itatu yose yarihannye, uretse abantu babiri gusa.
Bahise bamusaba kujya kwigisha no mu tundi turere, kandi ahantu hafi ya hose yajyaga
imirimo ye yatumaga habaho ububyutse mu murimo w’Imana. Abanyabyaha barahindukaga,
Abakristo bagakangukira kwiyegurira Imana biruseho, kandi abataremeraga ko Imana yitaye
ku bibera ku isi ndetse n’abatizera bakerekezwa ku kumenya ukuri kwa Bibiliya n’iby’idini
ya Gikristo. Ubuhamya bw’abo yabwirizaga bwari ubu ngo: “Ibyo avuga bigera ku itsinda
ry’abanyabwenge bidaciye ku bandi bantu.” 440 Yabwirizaga mu buryo bukangura
intekerezo z’abantu zikerekera ku ngingo zikomeye mu by’iyobokamana kandi agashegesha
imibereho yo gutwarwa n’ingeso z’isi n’irari byiganzaga muri icyo gihe.
Hafi muri buri mujyi wose, bamwe mu bantu amagana menshi barihanaga bitewe
n’ibibwirizwa bye. Ahantu henshi, amatorero atandukanye y’Abaporotesitanti hafi ya yose
yaramwakiraga, kandi ubutumire bwo kugira ngo azaze kwigisha bwavaga mu
bavugabutumwa bo mu matorero menshi atandukanye. Yari afite itegeko ridahinduka
agenderaho ko atagomba kujya kwigisha aho atararitswe, nyamara bidatinze aza kubona ko
atanagishoboye gusubiza nibura na kimwe cya kabiri cy’ubutumire yabaga yahawe ngo ajye
kubwiriza. Abantu benshi batemeraga ibyo yavugaga bihamya igihe ntarengwa Kristo
yagombaga kugarukiraho, bemeye ko kuza kwa Kristo ari ihame kandi ko kwegereje ndetse
ko ari ngombwa kwitegura. Mu mijyi imwe minini, umurimo we wakoze ku mitima ya benshi
mu buryo bukomeye. Abacuruzaga inzoga baretse ubwo bucuruzi ahubwo aho bacururizaga
bahahindura ibyumba byo gusengeramo; ibyumba byakinirwagamo urusimbi birafungwa;
abatarizeraga Imana, abizeraga ko ititaye ku bibera ku isi, abizeraga ko Imana kubw’ubuntu
bwayo izakiriza abantu bose mu bwami bwayo baba babi cyangwa beza, ndetse n’abantu bari
barahanebereye mu bibi baravuguruwe kandi bamwe muri bo bari bamaze imyaka myinshi
badakandagira ahasengerwa. Amatorero atandukanye yateranyaga amateraniro yo gusenga
mu mpande zitari zimwe z’umujyi kandi hafi ya buri saha, abacuruzi bahagarika imirimo yabo
buri saa sita z’amanywa bagateranira hamwe ngo basenge kandi basingize Imana. Nta
gutwarwa n’imico mibi byari biriho, ahubwo muri rusange intekerezo z’abantu zari
zuzuwemo kwitwararika. Umurimo wa Miller, kimwe n’uw’abagorozi ba mbere, werekezaga
ku kwemeza intekerezo z’abantu no gukangura umutimanama aho gukangura
amarangamutima gusa.
Mu mwaka wa 1833, Itorero ry’Ababatisita yari abereye umuyoboke ryamuhaye
uburenganzira bwo kujya abwiriza. Umubare munini w’ababwirizabutumwa bo mu itorero
rye bemeraga umurimo akora kandi kubwo kumushyigikira byatumye akomeza uwo murimo.
Yagendaga hirya no hino kandi agakomeza kubwiriza adahwema, nubwo imirimo ye yibanze
cyane cyane mu Bwongereza Bushya no muri Leta zo hagati. Mu gihe cy’imyaka myinshi,
yirihiriraga ibyo yakoreshaga byose akuye amafaranga mu mutungo we bwite, kandi nyuma
y’aho ntiyashoboye kubona amafaranga ahagije yo kumurihira ingendo zose zerekezaga aho
yararikirwaga kujya. Bityo, aho kugira ngo ibyo yakoreraga mu ruhame bimuzanire inyungu
y’amafaranga, byamubereye umutwaro ku butunzi bwe bwagiye bugabanuka buhoro buhoro
