Ubomi kunye nobomi bukaMartiniano osikelelekileyo
UMartinian wazalelwa kwintsapho yamaKristu kwisixeko saseRoma malunga nomnyaka we-310. Abazali bakhe babezizityebi kwaye bezinikele, kwaye wafumana imfundo efanelekileyo. Ngeshumi elinesibhozo, uMartiniano wamiselwa njengomdikoni nguBhishophu waseRoma, uMiltiades.
Emva kwexesha esebenza njengomdikoni, uMartiniano weva ubizo lweNkosi lokuya phambili waba yimonki. Wangena kumzi woonongendi kufuphi neRoma waza ngokukhawuleza waziwa ngokuphila kwakhe okuhle nokuzinikela ngokunzulu kuThixo.
Njengoko uMartiniano wayekhula, wavakalelwa kukuba uThixo wayembizela ukuba akhonze ngenkuthalo ngakumbi iCawa Yakhe, waza ke wabuyela eRoma ukuze abe ngumfundisi. Njengombingeleli, wazinikela ngokupheleleyo ekukhonzeni abantu bakaThixo, eshumayela rhoqo yaye enceda abo basweleyo.
Ngeli xesha, amaKristu ayetshutshiswa ngokukrakra yaye amaninzi abulawa ngenxa yokholo lwawo. UMartiniano wayengoyiki ukunikela ubungqina basesidlangalaleni ngoKristu okanye athwale imiphumo enokubakho; nangona kunjalo, uThixo wayenamanye amacebo ngaye. Kunokuba abulawelwe ukholo njengamanye amaKristu ebudeni bale ntshutshiso, uMartininus wabanjwa waza wavalelwa entolongweni ngokomyalelo woMlawuli uGalerius.
Ngoxa wayevalelwe, uMartiniano wayenamathuba amaninzi okucamngca ngobomi bakhe nangolwalamano lwakhe noThixo. Wachitha ixesha elide ethandaza yaye efunda iZibhalo Ezingcwele; Ngaphezu koko, wabhalela abahlobo bakhe abangamaKristu iileta eziliqela ezikhuthazayo ababengaphandle kwentolongo. Ezi leta ngoku zaziwa ngokuba "iiLeta Zokuziphatha" kaSanta Martinian kwaye zithathwa njengenxalenye ye-patristic corpus (imibhalo eyabhalwa ngabaseki bePostile).
Emva kweenyanga eziliqela entolongweni, uMartiniano wakhululwa ngenxa yokungenelela koMlawuli uConstantine I (oMkhulu). Akuba ekhululwe, ngokukhawuleza wabuyela kwinkonzo ekhutheleyo kwiCawa yamaRoma Katolika; nangona kunjalo, kungekudala emva kokuba kwafuneka arhoxe ngenxa yeengxaki zempilo. Wachitha iintsuku zakhe zokugqibela ehlala yedwa njengendawo ekufutshane neRoma phambi kokuba afe ngoxolo malunga no 340 AD.
