Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
n’Ubusobanuro bw’Ibyanditswe”, yagaragajemo umugambi we wo gusobanura Bibiliya,
kugira ngo umuturage wese wo mu Bwongereza abashe kwisomera mu rurimi rwe kavukire
ibitangaza Imana yakoze.
Mu buryo butunguranye, umurimo we waje guhagarikwa. Nubwo yari ataramara imyaka
mirongo itandatu y’ubukuru, gukora ubudatuza, kwiga no guhohoterwa n’abanzi be byari
byaragabanyije imbaraga ze maze bituma asaza imburagihe. Yafashwe n’indwara ikomeye
cyane. Iyo nkuru yanejeje abanzi be. Bibwiraga ko bizatuma yicuza ibibi yakoreye itorero,
bityo bihutira kumusanga mu cyumba yari arwariyemo kugira ngo bumve amagambo ye yo
kwicuza. Abahagarariye ibigo bine by’idini hamwe n’abayobozi bane mu butegetsi bwa leta
baraje bakikiza uwo bibwiraga ko agiye gushiramo umwuka. Baramubwiye bati: “Dore ugiye
gupfa, emera amakosa yawe maze wicurize imbere yacu ibyo wavuze byose uduharabika.”
Umugorozi Wycliffe yateze amatwi acecetse; maze asaba umurwaza we kumwegura aho mu
gitanda cye. Yahanze amaso ye abo bari bamukikije bahagaze bategereje kumva ijambo ryo
kwicuza kwe. Yavuganye ijwi rikomeye ririmo imbaraga ryari ryaragiye kenshi rituma abo
bapadiri bahinda umushyitsi ati: “Sindi bupfe, ahubwo nzarama; kandi nzongera mvuge
ibikorwa bibi by’abapadiri.” 37 Abo bapadiri baguye mu kantu kandi babura icyo bakora
maze bahita basohoka muri icyo cyumba.
Amagambo ya Wycliffe yarasohoye. Yakomeje kubaho kugira ngo ashyikirize abaturage
b’igihugu cye intwaro isumba izindi yo kurwanisha Roma ari yo Bibiliya; intwaro yatanzwe
n’ijuru kugira ngo ibature abantu, ibamurikire kandi ibigishe ubutumwa bwiza. Mu gukora
uwo murimo habayeho imbogamizi nyinshi kandi zikomeye zagombaga gutambukwa.
Wycliffe yari arembejwe n’uburwayi bwe; yari azi ko ashigaje imyaka mike cyane yo gukora;
yabonaga kurwanywa agomba kuzahangana nako, ariko yatewe ubutwari n’amasezerano yo
mu Ijambo ry’Imana. Yakomeje kujya mbere nta kimutera ubwoba. Mu mbaraga z’ubwenge
bwe, akaba n’inararibonye, yari yararinzwe kandi ategurwa n’Imana ngo azakore uwo
murimo, ari na wo waruse iyindi yose yakoze. Mu gihe abakristo barenganaga, Wycliffe yari
mu buyobozi i Lutterworth; ntiyita ku kaga kaberaga hanze maze ashishikarira gukora
umurimo yitoranyirije.
Amaherezo, uwo murimo waje kurangira maze Bibiliya ya mbere isobanuwe mu
Cyongereza iba irabonetse. Ijambo ry’Imana ryari rifunguriwe igihugu cy’Ubwongereza. Ubu
noneho Umugorozi ntiyatinyaga kuba yashyirwa muri gereza cyangwa kuzirikwa ku mambo
agatwikwa. Yari amaze gushyikiriza abaturage bo mu Bwongereza umucyo utazigera uzima.
Icyo gikorwa cyo kubagezaho Bibiliya cyari intambwe yindi ikomeye yo guca iminyururu
y’ubujiji n’ingeso mbi, kubohora no guteza imbere igihugu cye mu buryo butigeze bugerwaho
n’insinzi zikomeye bagiye bageraho ku rugamba.
Ubuhanga bwo gucapa inyandiko nyinshi mu buryo bwihuse bwari butaraduka, umurimo
wo gukora amakopi menshi ya Bibiliya wari uruhije kandi ukorwa buhoro cyane. Byari iby’
agaciro gakomeye cyane gutunga Bibiliya ku buryo abantu benshi babyifuzaga bagiye mu
