Ibisobanuro by’ijambo “Halleluya”
Ijambo “Halleluya” rikomoka mu rurimi rw’Igiheburayo הַלְלוּ יָהּ (halĕlû-Yah), risobanura ngo:
“Mushimire Yehova” cyangwa “Musingize Uwiteka.”
“Halelu” ni itegeko ry’imvugo halal, risobanura gusingiza, guhimbaza, kugaragaza icyubahiro.
“Yah” ni ishusho ngufi y’izina ry’Imana Yahweh (Yehova).
Nuko rero, Halleluya si ijambo ryo gushima gusa, ahubwo ni ubutumire bwo gusingiza Imana, kandi muri Bibiliya, ni ijwi ry’intsinzi y’umwuka, rihamya ko Imana yagize imirimo ikomeye kandi yerekanye ubushobozi bwayo.
Mu Zaburi, Halleluya ikunze gutangiza cyangwa kurangiza amagambo asaba abantu bose guhimbaza Imana (Zaburi 113:1; 150:1).
Mu Byahishuwe 19:1–6, ihinduka indirimbo y’intsinzi y’ijuru nyuma y’uko ikibi gitsinzwe, n’Ubwami bw’Imana bushinzwe iteka ryose.
Ni ijambo rifite ubutumwa bw’ubuhanuzi, ukwizera, n’ubwiyemezo bwo kuramya Imana.
1. Halleluya: Ijwi ry’ababonye ukuboko kw’Imana
Iyo Imana ikoze ibikomeye, abayizera baravuga bati: Halleluya!
Ni ijwi rituruka mu mitima y’ababonye imbaraga n’ubudahemuka bw’Imana.
“Uwiteka yadukoreye ibikomeye,Natwe turishimye.”(Zaburi 126:3)
Mu kubohorwa, mu gusubizwa amasengesho, no mu gutsinda, haba harimo Halleluya.
Ni ijwi ry’umutima wuzuye ishimwe, wemeza ko Imana yonyine ari yo ikwiye icyubahiro.
Aho abandi bivugira ibigwi, umwizera we avuga ati:
« Halleluya, si jyewe, ahubwo ni Uwiteka wabikoze! »
2. Halleluya: Ishimwe hagati mu bigeragezo
Ukuri kw’ijambo Halleluya kugaragarira cyane mu bihe bikomeye.
Si ijambo ryo kuvuga gusa igihe ibintu byagenze neza,
ahubwo ni ikimenyetso cy’ukwizera, kivugwa na mbere y’uko intsinzi igaragara.
“Nzahimbaza Uwiteka iminsi yose,Ishimwe rye rizaba mu kanwa kanjye iteka.”(Zaburi 34:2)
Kuvuga Halleluya mu gihe byose bisa nabi ni ukwemeza uti:
“Imana yanjye iracyari ku ngoma, nubwo ntarasobanukirwa uko ibikora.”
Ni intwaro y’umwuka, kandi ni itangazo ry’ubuhanuzi.
Satani arikanga igihe uwizera Imana wacitse intege areba mu ijuru akavuga Halleluya!
Kuko icyo gihe aba atangaje ati:
“N’aho byose byaba bimeze bite, Imana iracyakwiriye ishimwe.”
3. Halleluya: Indirimbo y’Ubwami bw’intsinzi
Mu Ibyahishuwe 19, ijuru ryose riraririmba riti:
“Haleluya! Agakiza n’icyubahiro n’ubutware ni iby’Imana yacu.”(Ibyahishuwe 19:1)
Ni indirimbo y’intsinzi ya nyuma y’Imana.
Ijambo Halleluya rigaruka inshuro enye muri uyu murongo, rigaragaza intsinzi yuzuye ya Kristo ku cyaha, ku bibi, no ku butware bw’umwijima.
Ritwibutsa ko iri jwi ritari iry’isi gusa, ahubwo ni ijwi ry’ijuru—abamarayika n’abacunguwe baririmba hamwe bati: “Imana iratsinze!”
Buri Halleluya tuvuga hano ku isi ni ijwi ryunga n’iryo mu ijuru, rikaba ubufatanye n’indirimbo y’iteka y’Ubwami bw’Imana.
4. Halleluya: Uburyo bwo kubaho
Halleluya si ijambo ryo kuririmbwa ku rusengero gusa,
ahubwo ni ubuzima bw’ishimwe.
Ni uguhitamo gushima aho kwinuba, kubona ukuboko kw’Imana mu bintu bito,
no kwizera ko imigambi yayo ari myiza nubwo tutayumva yose.
“Mu bibaho byose muhore mushima, kuko ari byo Imana ibashakaho muri Kristo Yesu.”(1 Abatesalonike 5:18)
Kuvuga Halleluya buri munsi ni ukwemeza ko Imana iri ku ngoma,
mu bihe byose, mu buryo bwose, no mu mibereho yose.
Ni uguhindura ubuzima bwawe indirimbo y’ishimwe itarangira.
ISENGESHO:
Mwami wacu n’Imana yacu,
turavuga Halleluya, atari igihe byose bigenda neza gusa,
ahubwo no hagati mu bigeragezo n’intambara.
Turizera ko uri hejuru ya byose, ko urwanira abana bawe,
kandi ko ubutabera bwawe buzahora butsinda.
Ujye mu mitima yacu utwuzuze ishimwe, utugire ubuzima bw’Halleluya buzima,
kandi uduhe ko buri guhumeka kwacu kuba isengesho ryo kugushima.
Igihe ubwami bwawe buzahishurwa rwose, amajwi yacu azifatanye n’ay’ijuru kuririmba iteka ryose: Halleluya! Icyubahiro kibe ku Mwana w’Intama watsinze! Amen.
