120 Uzuiaji <strong>wa</strong> Kibiblia <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> Kula Damu<br />
UZUIAJI WA KIBIBLIA JUU YA<br />
KULA DAMU (1994) 164<br />
Je, uzuiaji <strong>wa</strong> kula damu (M<strong>wa</strong>. 9:4-5; Law. 7:26-27; 17:10-12, 14; 19:26;<br />
Kumb. 12:16,23-24; 15:23; Mdo 15:19-20; unahusu dhabihu tu 165 Kumb. 3:17)<br />
na uzuiaji <strong>wa</strong> kula n<strong>ya</strong>ma <strong>ya</strong> <strong>wa</strong>n<strong>ya</strong>ma ambao ha<strong>wa</strong>jachinj<strong>wa</strong> au wenye damu<br />
(Kut. 22:30; Law 17:15, Kumb. 14:21, Mdo 15:19-20), kuhusu utaratibu <strong>wa</strong><br />
maadhimisho <strong>ya</strong> n<strong>ya</strong>kati za Ki<strong>ya</strong>hudi ambao unahitajika tu kutuongoza katika<br />
hekima yetu <strong>ya</strong> kiroho leo, au mazuizi hayo <strong>ni</strong> amri za kimaadili zilizo bado<br />
halali pasipo mabadiliko yoyote?<br />
Kuna sababu tatu k<strong>wa</strong> <strong>ni</strong><strong>ni</strong> naami<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong>le mao<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> mwisho:<br />
K<strong>wa</strong>nza, amri hiyo ilitole<strong>wa</strong> mara <strong>ya</strong> k<strong>wa</strong>nza k<strong>wa</strong> Nuhu (M<strong>wa</strong>. 9:4-5) 166 kabla<br />
<strong>ya</strong> Israeli kuwepo.<br />
Pili, baraza la Mitume lilizuia ulaji <strong>wa</strong> damu na <strong>wa</strong>n<strong>ya</strong>ma ambao<br />
ha<strong>wa</strong>kuchinj<strong>wa</strong> (Mdo 15:19-20): “…k<strong>wa</strong>mba <strong>wa</strong>jiepushe na unajisi <strong>wa</strong> sanamu,<br />
na uasherati, na n<strong>ya</strong>ma zilizosongole<strong>wa</strong> na damu”.<br />
Uamuzi <strong>wa</strong> baraza la mitume unabisha<strong>ni</strong><strong>wa</strong> sana. Wengine <strong>wa</strong>nadha<strong>ni</strong> uamuzi<br />
unarudia tu amri zilizotole<strong>wa</strong> k<strong>wa</strong> Nuhu (M<strong>wa</strong>. 9). Laki<strong>ni</strong> baadhi <strong>ya</strong> amri hizo<br />
zinakosekana katika Matendo 15. Wengine <strong>wa</strong>naami<strong>ni</strong> k<strong>wa</strong>mba uamuzi<br />
hujumuisha orodha <strong>ya</strong> amri zote za kimaadili zilizo bado halali k<strong>wa</strong> mataifa. Je,<br />
hili linamaa<strong>ni</strong>sha k<strong>wa</strong>mba Wakristo <strong>wa</strong>sio Wa<strong>ya</strong>hudi <strong>wa</strong>naweza kuua, kuiba na<br />
kudangan<strong>ya</strong>? Wengine <strong>wa</strong>naami<strong>ni</strong> k<strong>wa</strong>mba amri hizi zinahusika na Wakristo<br />
<strong>wa</strong>sio Wa<strong>ya</strong>hudi tu <strong>wa</strong>kati <strong>wa</strong><strong>wa</strong>po hai pamoja na Wa<strong>ya</strong>hudi au Wakristo <strong>wa</strong><br />
Ki<strong>ya</strong>hudi. Laki<strong>ni</strong> je, tunapas<strong>wa</strong> kujiepusha na uabudu sanamu na uasherati k<strong>wa</strong><br />
sababu tu hili lina<strong>wa</strong>k<strong>wa</strong>za <strong>wa</strong>tu wenye asili <strong>ya</strong> Ki<strong>ya</strong>hudi?<br />
Maelezo bora <strong>ya</strong> k<strong>wa</strong> <strong>ni</strong><strong>ni</strong> uamuzi <strong>wa</strong> mitume unazuia tu dhambi nne maalumu<br />
<strong>ya</strong>naonekana ku<strong>wa</strong> uamuzi uliku<strong>wa</strong> unajibu orodha <strong>ya</strong> mas<strong>wa</strong>li maalumu.<br />
Kutoka kwenye orodha, baraza la Mitume lilichagua amri hizo ambazo<br />
zina<strong>wa</strong>funga Wakristo <strong>wa</strong>sio Wa<strong>ya</strong>hudi, na ku<strong>wa</strong>acha wengine nje. Hivyo,<br />
kifungu kinaweza kulinga<strong>ni</strong>sh<strong>wa</strong> na mkutano mwingine <strong>wa</strong> Mitume na Paulo<br />
pamoja na mfan<strong>ya</strong>kazi mwenzake katika Wagalatia 2. Hapa orodha nyingine <strong>ya</strong><br />

165 Katika Law. 3:14-17; 7:23 – 25 kinachozuili<strong>wa</strong> <strong>ni</strong> kula damu tu, na pia kula mafuta. Laki<strong>ni</strong> sehemu hizo za<br />
mafuta yote <strong>ya</strong> mn<strong>ya</strong>ma zilizomaa<strong>ni</strong>sh<strong>wa</strong>, ziliku<strong>wa</strong> kitumi<strong>wa</strong> k<strong>wa</strong> ajili <strong>ya</strong> dhabihu.<strong>Sheria</strong> iliu<strong>wa</strong> halali tu<br />
