“Nkabamanyisa Eiziina Ryawe”

“Abashaija, abu waampaire omu nsi nkabooreka eiziina ryawe. . . . Nkabamanyisa eiziina ryawe, kandi ninyija kurimanyisa.”—YOHAANA 17:6, 26.

Eki Kirikumanyisa: Yesu akamanyisa abandi eiziina rya Ruhanga arikurikoresa omu buheereza bwe. Obu Yesu yaabaire naakira kushomera abantu Ebyahandiikirwe, naabaasa kuba yaabaire naayatura eiziina rya Ruhanga. (Luka 4:16-21) Akeegyesa abakuratsi be kushaba bati: “Tataitwe, eiziina ryawe ryezibwe.”—Luka 11:2.

Oku Abakristaayo Aba Ira Baakikozire: Entumwa Petero akateekyerereza abareeberezi omuri Yerusaalemu ngu Ruhanga atandikire kutoorana omu banyamahanga abantu ‘abarikwetererwa eiziina rye.’ (Ebyakozirwe 15:14) Entumwa n’abandi bakabuurira ngu ‘omuntu weena oritakira eiziina rya [Yehova] naija kujunwa.’ (Ebyakozirwe 2:21; Abarooma 10:13) Kandi bakakoresa eiziina rya Ruhanga omu bihandiiko byabo. Ekitabo The Tosefta, ekirimu ebiragiro by’Abayudaaya ebyahandiikirwe emyaka nka 300 Y.A.K., nikigamba aha bihandiiko by’Ekikristaayo ebyayokiibwe abahakanisa kiti: “Ebitabo by’Engiri n’ebya minim [birikuteekateekwaho kuba eby’Abakristaayo] nibibaasa kwokibwa. Kwonka nibibaasa kusya ahu biri hoona, . . . Ebitabo ebyo n’ebihandiiko ebindi ebirikugamba aha eiziina rya Ruhanga.”

Ni Baahi Abarikukikora Hati? Baibuli ya Revised Standard Version, eyaatongoziibwe National Council of the Churches of Christ omuri United States, enturukiriro yaayo neegira eti: “Okukoresa eiziina rya Ruhanga omwe wenka, okashusha ngu hariho baaruhanga abandi abarikwingana nawe, n’ekintu eki Abayudaaya baarekyeire aho kukora Obukristaayo butakatandikire, kandi tikihikire omu kanisa Enkuristaayo omu nsi yoona.” N’ahabw’ekyo, rikahanisibwa n’ekitiinisa, “MUKAMA.” Enyimaho, ekanisa ya Vatican ekaragiira baabishopu eti: “Eiziina rya Ruhanga eririkujwekyerwa YHWH * enyuguta ina ez’Oruheburaayo tirishemereire kukoresibwa omu byeshongoro, okushaba n’obu kwakuba okwaturwa.”

Ni baahi obunaku obu abarikukoresa eiziina rya Ruhanga kandi bakarimanyisa abandi? Obu Sergey yaabaire ari omushogoyo akiri Kyrgyzstan, akareeba vidiyo eyaabaire neeyoreka ngu eiziina rya Ruhanga ni Yehova. Kumara emyaka ikumi, taragarukire kuhurira eiziina rya Ruhanga. Bwanyima, ya Sergey kuza United States, Abajurizi ba Yehova babiri bakamutaayaayira owe baamworeka eiziina rya Ruhanga omu Baibuli. Sergey kikamushemeza kumanya ngu hariho abantu abarikukoresa eiziina Yehova. Ekirikutangaaza, waasherura ebigambo “Yehova Ruhanga,” omuri kashoboorozi Webster’s Third New International Dictionary neegira ngu “n’ow’obushoboorozi bwingi orikuramibwa Abajurizi ba Yehova bonka.”
