Namuhla sikulethela ngalesi sihloko esithakazelisayo mayelana nonkulunkulu Khetha, okuyingxenye yezinganekwane zesiYoruba ingenye yama-Orisha asendulo. Lapha sizochaza ukuthi ngubani, amasiko, iminikelo, imisebenzi nokunye okuningi.Ungayeki ukuyifunda, ijabulisa kakhulu!
Ubani u-Eleggua?
Ngaphakathi kwezinganekwane zesiYoruba i-Elegua ifanekisela ukuvikela okokuqala njengoba ivumela ukuvula izindlela zalabo abaqalwe kule nkolo njengoba kufanele bathole futhi bangcwelise iminikelo kuyo, yaziwa nangokuthi yi-Ligua, Legua noma i-Liwaa.
Empeleni lo nkulunkulu wamaYoruba obizwa ngokuthi u-Elegua nguyena ophethe ukuvula noma ukuvala izindlela zempilo zabasebenzi baleli hlelo futhi ngokomusa wakhe kuyofika inala, ukuchuma, inhlanhla ngisho nenjabulo, futhi unesibopho sokunikeza amashwa nokuthi kuthonya amanye amaqanda.
Leli gama lisho imimoya yamadlozi ama-santero asuke evele ephumile endaweni engaphansi futhi aziwa ngokuthi akhishwe imizimba, ivamise ukuvela uma kushona amakholwa athile ale nkolo kanti uma sewenzile aziwa ngegama elithi Eggun futhi angaphansi kwenkosi yawo u-Oduduwá. ongomunye orisha ubunkulunkulu.
Nakuba kubonakala kungavamile noma kungavamile, inkolo yamaKatolika namaYoruba anokufana ngokuthi kuzo zombili izinkolo iSanto Niño de Atocha iyabonwa, emele uJesu ebuntwaneni ngisho naseSan Antonio de Padua.
Lo santa wamaKhatholika uyahlonishwa futhi uyahlonishwa emazweni amaningi anjengeSpain, Honduras, Mexico, Colombia, Philippines kanye neVenezuela.
Isithombe saso esiyinhloko sitholakala enhloko-dolobha yaseMadrid eRoyal Basilica ye-Our Lady of Atocha, kodwa noma ngabe ukufana, akufanele badideke kusukela u-Elegua u-orisha waseYoruba noma weSanteria mythology evela e-Afrika.
Kusukela ezikhathini zamakholoni, le nganekwane yafika ezwenikazi laseMelika, u-Elegua engunkulunkulu othi, ngaphezu kokucelwa, unikezwa iminikelo nemikhosi efana nemidanso yendabuko evela ezimpandeni zakhe zase-Afrika. Yilo nkulunkulu oqondisa injabulo nosizi lwabazinikele kule nganekwane.
Ngu-Elegua onquma ingcebo ngayinye yabazinikele bakhe kuleli siko elithathwa njengenkosana ethanda ukwenza okubi uyinzalo eqondile ka-Olodumare owayezoba uNkulunkulu onguMninimandla Onke onguMdali wokuphila ebusweni bomhlaba.
Ngakho-ke u-Elegua ungumxhumanisi phakathi kwezwe lasemhlabeni kanye nezwe likayise u-Olodumare, ngakho uvumela iminikelo ukuba ifinyelele uyise, ongumdali womhlaba wonke futhi ngenxa yalesi sikhulu sesithunywa, ibhalansi igcinwa ezinganekwaneni.
Izinganekwane mayelana nemvelaphi yayo
Ngokuphathelene negama likankulunkulu u-Elegua ezinganekwaneni zesiYoruba, wazalelwa ezwenikazi lase-Afrika futhi ngenxa yobukoloni le nkolo yadluliselwa ezizweni zaseMelika.
Ikakhulukazi eSanteria, eCuba naseVenezuela okungamazwe lapho inhlonipho neminikelo igcinwa khona, njengoba kwamanye amazwe afana neColombia neBrazil lo nkulunkulu waziwa ngegama likaCandomblé.
Ngokomlando wasendulo, lo nkulunkulu wezinganekwane zamaYoruba ogama lakhe lingu-Elegua ungomunye wonkulunkulu abayisikhombisa bale nkolo abaziwa ngegama elithi Yoruba Pantheon, lo nkulunkulu uyinkosana kanti uyise kwakungu-Okuboro owayeyinkosi yase-Añagui.
Kuphinde kuphawulwe kwezinye izindaba ukuthi u-Elegua uyindodana ka-Obatalá uMdali Womhlaba kanye no-Yembo umkakhe wokuqala, wayengumfowabo ka-Changó, u-Ozum, u-Oggun no-Orunmila bonke bangonkulunkulu base-orisha.
Ngelinye ilanga elokhu ezulazula eNkosana u-Eleguá, wathola into phansi eyathatha amehlo akhe ngoba yayikhipha ukukhanya okukhanyayo emehlweni ayo amathathu, ukhukhunathi owomile. wakhuluma naye washo amazwi ambalwa kuye.
Le mishwana ukuthi izithelo ezomisiwe eyanikezwa Elegua kwaba isidingo esikhona ukuze amnakekele kusukela izikelemu namabhu ezingase zimlimaze futhi ukudla inyama yakhe ngokusebenzisa lesi sicelo inikeza impilo nokuchuma inkosana usana ngokubuyisela.
Ngenxa yalokhu, unkulunkulu u-Elegua wathembisa isithelo esomisiwe ukuthi wayezomnakekela futhi wamyisa esigodlweni lapho ayehlala khona, lapho efika enqabeni wayilandisa le ndaba bahlekisa ngaye ngaphezu kokukhipha ukhukhunathi futhi. edlalisa isithelo esomisiwe kwelinye icala.komunye ngaphandle kokuthi omncane akwazi ukukuthatha ngezandla ukuze amvikele.
Baze bafihla isithelo esomisiwe ngemuva komnyango ngesicelo someluleki nenkosi yalamukela isu lokuthi u-Elegua osemncane akhohlwe wukhukhunathi, kodwa kwenzeka into eyamangaza ngoba inkosana encane yagula ngesifo esiyinqaba esamqeda ngesikhathi. inqubo yezinsuku ezintathu.
Ngakho-ke inkantolo yalila ngokulahlekelwa ngokomzimba kweNkosana u-Elegua futhi yaqonda ukuthi lesi sifo sibangelwa ukunganaki i-bogeyman eyayinongqondongqondo omuhle ngaphakathi kwakhe owayecasulwe ngamalungu enkantolo.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, ukhukhunathi uqala ukuhlonishwa, ucela intethelelo, kodwa amehlo awo amathathu awazange aphinde akhanye. Ngenxa yalokho okwenzekile, abeluleki basikisela inkosi ukuthi ibeke amehlo, umlomo nezindlebe ukuze ibone, izwe futhi ikhulume.
Ngakho-ke ungqondongqondo uyabuya njengoba amehlo akhe ayeyiminenke emibili, amagobolondo amabili njengezindlebe zokukwazi ukuzwa imithandazo yabazinikele kanye nomlomo ukuze akwazi ukukhuluma futhi adlulisele imiklamo yakhe kubalandeli bale nganekwane yamaYoruba.
Ngalesi senzo, i-Elegua iyi-orisha efakwa endlini yabasebenzi bale nkolo ngendlela yetshe, ibeka ngemuva komnyango, ivikele indlu futhi igcine izihluthulelo ezivumela injabulo ukuba isondele futhi okubi ku. ukuphila kwezidalwa ukuhamba.abantu nakuba ethanda ububi.
Lo nkulunkulu wezinganekwane zamaYoruba u-Elegua wavela e-Afrika futhi eCuba bamukela izinkolelo zamaKhatholika ukuze baqhubeke nenganekwane yesiYoruba.
Lapho u-Elegua wayemelelwe ngamatshe futhi eyisithunywa sikankulunkulu u-Olofin ophinde abe ukubonakaliswa kwesithathu kwe-Olodumare, unkulunkulu oyinhloko noyedwa kulesi siko.
U-Elegua umelwe nenombolo yesithathu yenyanga ngayinye, usuku aluthandayo kuba uMsombuluko nemibala emmelelayo ibomvu nemnyama esenzweni ngasinye senkolo eyenziwayo.
U-orisha wokuqala ukufika ngu-Elegua kanjalo nokuba ngowokugcina ukuhamba kwazise nguyena ophethe ukuvula noma ukuvala imigwaqo ngoba nguyena ophethe ukuzalwa nokufa.
Ngakho-ke, ekuqaleni kwemikhuba yezinganekwane zesiYoruba, ngu-Elegua labo abazinikele abambizayo ekuqaleni, kanye nokuba ngowokugcina ukuhamba, njengoba ephethe izihluthulelo zesiphetho sokuzalwa nokufa.

Imisebenzi eyenziwa nge-Elegua
Ziyizenzo ezenziwa emikhubeni ngenhloso yokuthola impumelelo efana nokuhlanza ibhizinisi, yekhaya ukuze kuqedwe amandla amabi angathinta ukusebenza kahle. Eziningi zalezi zenzo ezenziwayo zingezensimu yemilingo, ehlukaniswa ibe mhlophe noma emnyama.
Ngakho-ke, kuvamile ukubamba imihlangano ngaphezu kokucela abanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kuka-Elegua ukusiza ukuhambisa amandla emhlabeni, kodwa ungaba sengozini yokungenwa yinhlangano yamademoni uma usebenzisa iziphonso zomlingo omnyama.
Kubuye kubonwe kule mikhuba yokuhlonipha u-Elegua umhlatshelo wezilwane ukuze ubangele ukulimala kwabanye abantu, ngenxa yalesi sizathu unikezwa unkulunkulu ukuze ondliwe futhi avume ukukhulumela kulokho ukuzinikela akucelayo futhi ngenxa yalokho imvelo ehlukahlukene ukuthi ingaba yimisebenzi engacelwa ku-Elegua.
