Nkaba nayegire ebiri kukwata ahari Yehova, konka eryo zoba nkamugambira ebindi aha mutima. Obwo ni bwo obu natandikire kugirana obunywani na Yehova Ruhanga ‘ori kuhurira okushaba.’ (Zab 65:2) Reka mbagambire enshonga eyatumire nashaba Ruhanga owu nabire namara kumanya.
OKUTAYAYIRWA OKWAHINDWIRE AMAGARA GANGE
Nkazarwa aha kiro ca 22, Okwikuminabiri 1929, omuri Noville, ecaro kice ekirimu emisiri eri hihi na Bastogne, y’omuri Belgian Ardennes. Ncayijuka ku obo nabire ncari muto twabire tutwire omuri famu, itwe n’abazire bitu. Nyowe na murumuna wange Raymond, tukaba nitukama ente tukoresize engaro, bwanyima tuyamba omu kugabuganiza. Omu caro kitu, abantu bakaba nibataho amani mingi kugira ngu bayambayambane.
Abazire bange, ari bo Emile and Alice, bakaba bari Abakatoriki. Bakaba nibaza omuri misa buri sande. Konka, hihi omu mwaka gwa 1939, abapayoniya b’omuri Bungereza bakija omu caro kitu rero baha tata omugisha g’okuguma kutunga magazini (hati eri kwetwa Musisimuke!) Tata akahika ari kumanya ku yatunga amazima kandi yatandika kushoma Bibuli. Ku yayemerize kuza omuri Misa, abatahi bitu ababire bari abanywani barungi bakatandika kutuhiganisa. Bakaba bari kwenda ngu tata agume omu Bakatoliki, kandi eco kikatuma batongana.
Kikaba nikinshasha, kureba oku tata babire nibamuhiganisa. Eco ni co ecatumire nashaba Yehova, ndi kumugambira mbyihire aha mutima, nk’oku nabigamba tucatandika eki kicweka. Abantu ku bagenzire nibareka kutuhiganisa mporampora kikanshemeza munonga. Eco kikatuma nayikiriza ku Yehova ‘ari kuhurira okushaba.’
OBWIRE BW’ORUTARO
Nazi y’omuri Jamani, ekatahirira Beligiyamu aha kiro ca 10, Okwakatano 1940, byatuma abaturage baruga omu byabo. Eka yitu ekahungira omu mashuma ga Bufaransa. Obu twabire turi kuhunga, tukabugana abasirikare ba Jamani n’ab’omuri Bufaransa bari omu rutaro.
Ku twagarukire omuri famu yitu, tukashanga ebintu byona babyibire. Embwa yitu eri kwetwa Bobbie,
ni yo yonka eyi twashangireyo. Ebyo bintu byona ebyambireho, bikatuma nayebuza ngu: ‘Ahabw’enki hari kubaho entaro n’okubonabona?’Omuri obwo bwire, tukagasirwa munonga obu mwenetata ori kwetwa Emile Schrantz a owabire ari omupayoniya w’omwesigwa n’omuzehe w’ekibina, yatutayayire. Akanshobororera akoresize Bibuli enshonga turi kubonabona kandi yangarukamu ebibuzo byona ebi nabire ndi kukira kwebuza aha bikwatirine n’amagara. Ebyo bikatuma nakizaho kugirana obunywani na Yehova kandi nayikiriza ntari kubanganisa ku ari Ruhanga oyine rukundo.
N’obu orutaro rwabire rutakahwire, ab’omu ka yange, bakaba nibashemerererwa kuganira n’abandi benetata na banyanyazi. Omu Kwamunana 1943, mwenetata José-Nicolas Minet akatutayayira ahari famu yitu rero yatuha toku. Akatubuza ngu, “Ni oha ori kwenda kubatizibwa?” Nyowe na tata, tukabyikiriza. Tukabatirizibwa omu mugera muce ogwabire guhikine n’efamu yitu.
Omu Kwikuminabiri 1944, amahe ga Jamani gakatandikisa orutaro rw’aha muheru oru bayesire Orugamba orugumire omu rutaro rwa kabiri rw’ensi yona. Tukaba tutwire hihi y’ahu orwo rutaro rwabire ruri kubera kandi tukamara hihi okwezi tutakashohora aheru. Izoba rimwe nkaza kugaburira amatungo rero barasha ebisasu, byashenya ekisika c’enju yitu. Hine omusirikare w’Omunyamerika owabire ari hihi yange, owangambire n’iraka rihango ngu: “Nyama ahaasi!” Nkiruka nanyama aha rubaju rweye, kandi yampa n’engofira yeye nagijwara kugira ngu endinde.
NDI KUKURA OMU BY’OMWIKA
Bwanyima y’orutaro, burijo tukaba nitukira kuganira n’obo omu kibina ca Liège, ecabire kiri omuri kilomita 90 omu matemba, orugire owitu. Obwire bukahika twatandikisa omutwe muce omuri Bastogne. Nkatandika kukora omu by’emishoro kandi catuma natunga oburyo bw’okwega ebiragiro. Bwanyima nkaba omunoteri. Omu mwaka gwa 1951 tukatebekanisa ekiterane kice ecaberire omuri Bastogne. Abantu bingi bakija kucekwatanisamu kandi hakijamu na munyanyazi owabire ori kukora n’amani omurimo g’obupayoniya ori kwetwa, Elly Reuter. Akaba akozire orugendo rwa kilomita 50 ah’igari kugira ngu acekwatanisemu. Bwanyima tukakundana rero twatandika kusigurana. Elly akatunga obutumire bw’okuza kwega ishomero
rya Giliyadi omuri Amerika. Akahandikira ofisi nkuru, yabashobororera enshonga eyatuma atayikiriza obwo butumire. Mwenetata Knorr, owabire ari kwebembera abahereza ba Yehova omuri obwo bwire, akamugambira ku obwire bwabire buri kubasa kwija kuhika, rero ayega Giliyadi ari hamwe n’omushija weye. Tukatasana omu Kwakabiri 1953.Omuri ogo mwaka, nyowe na Elly tukaza omu kiterane ecaberire omu kishaha ca Yankee c’omuri New York. Obu twabire turiyo, tukabugana mwenetata owampire omurimo kandi yanshaba kufurukira omuri Amerika. Ku twamazire kubigambira Yehova omu shara, nyowe na Elly tukasharamu kwanga obwo butumire, ahobwe twasharamu kugaruka omuri Beligiyamu kuyamba omutwe ogwabire gurimu ababurizi ikumi omuri Bastogne. Omu mwaka ogwakuratireho, tukatunga omugisha g’okuzara omwana w’omwojo ori kwetwa, Serge. Ekiri kushasha, bwanyima y’amezi mushanju, Serge akarwara rero yafa. Tukagambira Yehova akahinda aku twabire twine birabire omu shara, kandi okutecereza aha masiko g’okuzoka kikatugumya.
OKU TWATANDIKIRE OMURIMO G’OBWIRE BWONA
Omu Kwikumi 1961, nkatunga omurimo ogu nabire ndi kubasa kukora obwire buce nkakora n’omurimo g’obupayoniya. Ahari eryo zoba, ahari omukozi wa ofisi ya Beligiyamu akanterera aha simu. Akambuza yaba ndi kubasa kuba omukozi w’akacweka (hati ori kwetwa, omureberezi ori kutayayira ebibina). Nkamubuza ngu: “Mbehi tituri kubasa kubanza twakora omurimo g’obupayoniya mbere y’okwikiriza ogu murimo?” Benetata bakabyikiriza. Bwanyima y’okukora obupayoniya omu bwire bw’amezi munana, tukatandika omurimo g’okutayayira ebibina omu Kwamwenda 1962.
Ku twamazire emyaka ibiri turi kutayayira ebibina, bakatweta ngu tuze kukora ahari Beteli ya Brussels. Tukatandika kuhakora, omu Kwikumi 1964. Ogo murimo musya gukatuma twatunga emigisha myingi. Bwanyima y’obwire buce, mwenetata Knorr atayayire Beteli yitu omuri 1965, nkatungurwa n’oku banshabire kuba omwe omu bagizire Komiti ya Ofisi. Bwanyima, nyowe na Elly tukashabwa kuza kwega ishomero rya 41 rya Gileyadi. Ebigambo ebi mwenetata Knorr yabire agambire omu myaka 13 eyabire ehwire, bikaba byahikirira! Bwanyima y’okumara kwega, tukagaruka ahari Beteli ya Beligiyamu.
OKURWANIRIRA OBUGABE BW’ABAHEREZA BA YEHOVA OMU BY’EBIRAGIRO
Nkamara emyaka myingi nahibwe omugisha g’okukoresa ebi nabire ndi kumanya omu by’ebiragiro omu kurwanirira obugabe bwitu bw’okuramya, omuri Buraya n’ahandi. (Fil 1:7) Ebyo bikaba nibituma nagamba n’abategeki b’omu mahanga agari kurenga 55 agu omurimo gwitu gwazibirwemu ninga gukemerezibwa. Omu mwanya g’okwesiga obumanyi obu nabire nyine omu by’ebiragiro, nkaba ninyereba ‘nk’omwana wa Ruhanga.’ Burijo nkaba ninshaba Yehova obuhabuzi birabire omu shara, rero kituma nareba ku ‘omutima g’omugabe [ninga og’omuramuzi] guri nk’amizi mingi omu mikono ya Yehova, agu ari kuhabura ahu ari kwenda.’—Emi 21:1.
Baroma 13:4. Akaba ari Omuporotesitante, kandi eco kikatuma yafa ahari orwo runyiriri rwa Bibuli. Ni enki ecarugiremu? Akanyikiririza kuganira na we omu dakika 30, kandi ekiganiro kikagenda ge. Nangwa akanangambira ku ari kuha ekitinisa omurimo g’okuburira ogu turi kukora.
Kimwe omu biganiro ebi ntari kubasa kwebwa, ni eki nagirine n’omwe omu bategeki abari kutaho ebiragiro b’omuri Buraya. Nkaba namushabire kuganira na we emirundi myingi kandi kikahendera abyikirize.

Nkinamuka rero namugambira nti: “Ndimu kusima Ruhanga ahabw’okuba ori omwe omu bakozi beye.” Akambuza ngu: “Noyenda kumanyisa ki?” Nkamwereka ebigambo ebiri omuHakahwa emyaka myingi, Abahamya b’omuri Buraya bari kutebwaho emanja ahabw’okutagwera orubaju, ahabw’okushaba obugabe bw’okwererera abana, ebibuzo by’emishoro n’ebindi. Okwekwatanisa omuri ezo manja, nkaba ninkireba nk’omugisha, kandi kikatuma nayerebera oku Yehova yabire ari kutukwasa kuzisingura. Abahamya ba Yehova bakasinga emanja eziri kurenga 140 omu Ishengero rikuru rya Buraya eriri kurwanirira obugabe bw’omuntu!
OMURIMO G’OKUBURIRA GURI KWEYONGERA OMURI KIBA
Omu myaka ya za 1990, nkakorana na mwenetata Philip Brumley, w’ahari ofisi yitu nkuru, hamwe na mwenetata Valter Farneti, w’omuri Itali, kugira ngu benetata b’omuri Kiba bahebwe obugabe bw’okuramya, ahakuba omurimo gwitu gukaba gwayemerezibwe omuri eryo hanga. Nkahandikira embasi ya Kiba eri omuri Beligiyamu, rero nabugana n’omwebembezi owu babire batireho ngu atereze eco kizibu. Omu kiganiro eki twagirine tukaremwa kwikirizingana aha nshonga ezatumire omurimo gwitu gwayemerezibwa.
Bwanyima y’okushaba Yehova obuhabuzi birabire omu shara, tukashaba abategeki kutwikiririza kohereza Bibuli 500 omuri Kiba. Ezo Bibuli ku zahikireyo ge kandi zikahebwa benetata na banyanyazi, tukahika turi kwerebera ku ari Yehova owatuha omugisha ahabw’amani agu twataho. Bwanyima tukabashaba orundi ruhusya rw’okoherezayo ezindi Bibuli 27,500. Ekiri kushemeza bakabyikiriza. Okuba twabasize kukwasa benetata na banyanyazi b’omuri Kiba, buri omwe akabasa kutunga Bibuli yeye, kikanshemeza munonga.
Nkatayayira Kiba emirungi myingi kugira ngu mbakwase kutereza ebizibu by’eby’ebiragiro. Ebyo bintu ebi nabire ninkora bikaba nibituma namanyana n’abategeki kandi baba banywani bange.
TURI KUYAMBA BENETATA NA BANYANYAZI B’OMU RWANDA
Omu mwaka gwa 1994 abantu abari kurenga 800,000 bakitwa omuri Jenosayidi eyaberire omuri Rwanda. Ekiri kushasha ni oku benetata na banyanyazi na bo bayisirwe. Bwanyima tukashabwa kuza kutanga obuyambi omuri eryo hanga.
Ku twahikire omu tawuni nkuru y’eryo hanga eri kwetwa Kigali, tukashanga ebisika by’enju eyabire eri kukorerwamu obuhinduzi n’ahu babire bari kubika ebitabo hasisikire ahabw’amasasu. Tukahurira enkuru nyingi za benetata na banyanyazi abayisirwe batemirwe n’emihoro. Konka tukahurira n’enkuru eziri kugamba oku benetata bayerekire rukundo omu bikorwa. Ecokureberaho, tukabugana na mwenetata w’Omututsi owasherekirwe omu mwina ,n’eka emwe y’Abahutu b’Abahamya ba Yehova omu bwire bw’ebiro 28. Obu twabire twahika omuri Kigali, tukagezaho kuhumuriza benetata na banyanyazi abari kurenga 900 kandi twabagumya omu by’omwika.
Tukambuka omupaka twaza omuri Zayire (hati eri kwetwa Kongo) kurondesa abandi Bahamya ba Yehova b’omu Rwanda, abahungire hihi y’etawuni ya Goma. Tukabaronda twababura, rero twashaba Yehova kutukwasa. Bwanyima tukabugana n’omuntu owabire ari kwetamburira, rero twamubuza yaba hine Omuhamya wa Yehova owu ari kumanya. Akatugarukamu ngu: “Yego, nanye ndi Omuhamya wa Yehova. Kikabonera naza kubereka benetata abari kukora omuri Komiti y’eby’okuyamba.” Bwanyima y’okubugana na benetata b’omuri eyo Komiti, tukabugana n’empungi eziri kurenga 1,600 rero twabagumya omu by’omwika kandi twabagaruramu amani. Nambwenu tukabashomera ebaruha y’Akakiko k’Abarisa. Benetata na banyanyazi bakakorwa aha mutima n’okuhurira ebigambo ebiri kugira ngu: “Nitugumizamu kubashabira omu shara zitu. Nitumanya ku Yehova atarije kubasigaho.” Kandi mazima ebyo bigambo by’ab’omu Kakiko k’abarisa bikahahikirira. Hati omuri Rwanda harimu Abahamya ba Yehova abari kurenga 30,000!

Omu myaka 84 ehwire, ni bwo obu nagambire Yehova eshara yange y’aha murundi g’okubanza. Eyo shara ekaba entandikiro y’orugendo rurungi rw’okugirana obunywani na we. Nambwenu ninsima Yehova munonga, ahabw’okuba yagenzire ari kugarukamu eshara zange.—Zab 66:19. b
