Yehova Kawahishile Chiyulo Chami
Ha mwaka 1939, twalawile hamuchima wa ufuku ni kwenda ola kuhiana yimuwika ndo mu mbonge yikehe ya Joplin ku sango lia Missouri, mu Estados Unidos. Yituputuka kuhichika tumafwo mu yikolo ya mazuwo mu mbonge yacho. Muze twahwishile, yitunjila mu mashinyi hanga tuye tuliwane ni yizavu yikwo nawa. Te hitwapwa ha mandemba. Alioze mumu liaka twatambile kwambujola tangwa liacho shimbu te kanda kucha ni kutuhuka mu njiza yacho nikawashi? Mba mungulumbununa.
NASEMUKINE ha mwaka 1934. Yisemi jami, Fred ni Edna Molohan, te Alongi a Mbimbiliya (Yela ja Yehova) ha miaka 20. Nakuwahilila chinji hakungulongesa kuzanga Yehova.

Asoko jami kapwile ni kuya ku kukunguluka ni kwambujola sango lipema mashimbu eswe. Liaposo chingoloshi, te twakuya ni kwambujola mu matapalo, mulimo wacho we tunavuluka ngwo kwambujola ha mbunga. Ha mashimbu amwe te twakuhonga, alioze Tata te kakutulanjila yimwe muze mutuhwisa kwambujola.
Chikungulwila chetu chikehe chapwile ni njiza yinene, mwapwile ma fazenda anji ni mambonge anji akehe-akehe. Shimbu atwehe mbongo mumu lia mikanda yetu, atu te kakutwaha mulengi, monda, tusumbi hanji ni yuma yikwo nawa. Tata te kakulianga kakuhana mbongo ja mikanda yize mutuhana mu munda, hanga kulia chize atu matwaha chipwe ni chetu.
KWAMBUJOLA CHALIPWILA
Yisemi jami kapwile ni fonografu yize te akuzachisa mu mulimo wa kwambujola. Ami kuchakapwile ni kuyizachisa mumu te nguchili kanuke, alioze te nakuzanga kukwasa Tata ni Mama hanga tuse pande ja Ndumbu Rutherford ha kufuna ni kumeneka atu hamwe ni alongi a Mbimbiliya.
Hamwe ni yisemi jami ku mashinyi a maliji a kukopa
Tata yakasa chitavwi chinene helu lia mashinyi jetu, Ford wa mwaka 1936, chocho yaapwisa a maliji a kukopa. Uno wapwile mulimo unene chinji. Kanji-kanji, te twakulianga kwimbisa miaso hanga atu akundame, mba mutusa pande ja Mbimbiliya. Kusulaho te twakuhana mikanda kuli atu waze mazanga kulilongesa Mbimbiliya.
Mu mbonge yikehe ya Cherryvale, Kansas, Tata te kakuya ni mashinyi jacho ndo ha Parque haze te hakuya atu anji hanga ahwime ha Liayenga. Hachino, pulisha yeza ni yalweza Tata ngwenyi te katamba kwatwala mashinyi sali likwo lia parque. Chocho Tata yatwala mashinyi mu tapalo yikwo ya parque hanga
atu ahase kwivwa kanawa pande jacho. Te nakuzanga chinji kupwa hamwe ni Tata ni yaya Jerry, ha mashimbu ngwe wano.Ha miaka yino yeswe, te twakulinga mulimo wa kwambujola chalipwila mu njiza muze atu anji te akulimika ni yetu. Ngwe chize nambanga kuuputukilo, te twakuhinduka ha muchima wa ufuku hanga tuye ni kuhichika tumafwo mu yikolo ya mazuwo ja atu. Ni twahwisa, te twaliwana haze lia mbonge hanga tunyingike nyi pulisha kakwata umwe wa kuli yetu.
Kwambujola chikwo chipema chapwile cha kwendanda mu matapalo ni mapapilo a kusoneka. Te twakulizezeleka mapapilo jacho hanga twende mu mbonge yeswe. Nguneuluka tangwa limwe, mandumbu yeza mu mbonge yetu ni kwenda ni mapapilo waze te anambe ngwo, “Uwayilo wa mahuza uli muheto nawa chuma chakuhanga nacho atu.” Ayo yaputukila ku zuwo lietu yenda tando yimuwika ni ndambu, mba yafuna nawa ku zuwo lietu. Chapwile chipema mumu niumwe kakakwikile, alioze atu anji kazangile kunyingika yize te ayo analingi.
KUKUNGULUKA CHA MAMBONGE MUZE TE NGUCHILI MUKWEZE
Usoko wami te kakulinga wenyi wa kuya ku kukunguluka cha mambonge mu Texas. Tata te kakukalakala ku utulilo wa masuwa, kashika te chakupwa chashi kukwata masuwa awana hanga tuye ku kukunguluka cha mambonge ni kumeneka asoko jetu. Yayo ya mama, Fred Wismar ni mukwo-pwo Eulalie, te katwama mu Temple, Texas. Matu Fred kalilongesele umwenemwene kuuputukilo wa mwaka 1900, muze te uchili mukweze ni kumupapachisa. Nawa yalweza anakwo kuchingako ni mama yuma yize te analilongesa. Mandumbu amu central ya Texas kanyingikine kanawa Matu Fred mumu kapwile kavumbi wa mbonge, (yoze haliapwila twakuvuluka ngwo kalayi wa mbonge). Iye kapwile chimbovu, mukwa-zango, nawa te kakulihana, iye kanguhichikilile chilweza chipema.
Ha mwaka 1941, twakwachile masuwa hanga tuye ku kukunguluka cha mambonge mu St. Louis mu Missouri. Akweze eswe yaasanyika atwame hakamwihi ni palku hanga apanjike pande ja Ndumbu Rutherford jize jambile ngwo, “Ana ja Mwanangana.” Kusongo lia pande akweze eswe 15,000 yakomoka chinji. Ndumbu Rutherford ni waze apwile no yatwaha mukanda waha, wakwamba ngwo Twanuke.
Ha Abril wa mwaka 1943 yituya ku Kukunguluka cha Mbonge chapwile ni mutwe wakwamba ngwo, “Kulinga Chimwe” mu Coffeyville, Kansas. Chocho, yitwivwa mutambi wakwamba ngwo, yikungulwila yeswe te muyipwa ni Shikola yaha ya Milimo ya Zambi. Nawa yitutambula umwe mukanda te ukwete malongeso 52 uze te mutuzachisa ku shikola yacho. Kulutwe lia mwaka wacho, yinguhanjika pande jitangu ngwe longi ha kukunguluka. Nawa kukunguluka chino chapwile chilemu chinji kuli yami, mumu he angupapachishile hamwe ni akwetu akwo mu chitende chize chapwile hakamwihi ni yimwe fazenda.
NAZANGILE KUKALAKALA KU MBETELE
Nahwishile shikola yikehe ha mwaka 1951, nawa te natamba kukwata chiyulo cha yize ngulinga ku mwono wami. Yaya Jerry te kakukalakala ku Mbetele. Ni yami te nakuzanga chinji kuya ku Mbetele, hachino, yingushinala mukanda wa kuya ku Mbetele. Ha mwaka 1952 ha tangwa 10 lia Março, yangusanyika ku Mbetele, chocho yinguputuka kukalakala ko. Chino chapwile chiyulo chipema chize changukwashile kuwayila Zambi ni mbunge yeswe.
Ami te nakuzanga kukalakala ku gráfica hanga ngukwase kutuhwisa tuposhi ni mikanda yikwo. Alioze kanguseleko. Hachino yangusa ngwe garson mba kulutwe yangusa ku chikuku. Yinguzanga mulimo wacho nawa yingulilongesa yuma yinji. Te twakukalakala ha amwe maola kashika te ngukwete mashimbu waze te chishi kukalakala. Kanji-kanji te nakuya mu utulikilo wa mikanda ku Mbetele ni kuzachisa mikanda yinji hanga ngulinge longeso liami lia wika. Yino yangukwashile kukolesa ufulielo ni usepa wami ni Yehova. Chocho yingusa tachi ja kununga ni kulingila Yehova ku Mbetele.

Muze nahetele lume ku Mbetele, mandumbu yaputuka kufupa ma Mbetelita waze te mahasa
kuwezela ha katalilo wa akwa-kuhanjika pande aku Mbetele. Mandumbu waze apwile ku katalilo wacho yaaha chiteli cha kumeka yikungulwila yize te yatwama ha tando 320, kukatuka ku Brooklyn. Ayo te kakuhanjika pande ja mbunga ni kwambujola hamwe ni chikungulwila. Ni yami napwile umwe wa kuli mandumbu waze asakwile. Yinguputuka kumeneka yikungulwila ni kulinga pande ja mbunga chipwe ngwe kuuputukilo te nakwivwa woma. Ha mashimbu jacho pande ja mbunga te jakulinga ola yimuwika. Kanji-kanji te nakuya ni kumeneka yikungulwila ni masuwa. Ngunewuluka kanawa ha chimwe chingoloshi Liayenga ha mwaka 1954. Nanyinyine mu masuwa hanga ngufune ku Nova York, alioze te natamba kuheta ku Mbetele ha chingoloshi cha ufuku. Alioze mu jila yikuputuka umwe kangonga ni fuji yinji hamwe ni nevwe. Masuwa yafwa chocho chakahashile kuheta ku Nova York ndo ha mandemba Liakasoka. Yingunyina mu masuwa eka waze te anayi ku Brooklyn, muze nahetele yinguya lume ni kukalakala ku chikuku. Nalalukile ku mulimo nawa te ngunahongo chinji mumu chakapombele ufuku weswe. Alioze te ngunawahilila chinji ha kumeka yikungulwila ni kunyingika mandumbu anji aha, yino yahianyine lamba lieswalio namwene.Chipatulo cha kukopela cha chisaji WBBR
Ha miaka yami yitangu ku Mbetele, ni yinguputuka nawa kukalakala ku katalilo wa longeso lia Mbimbiliya lize te akutuhwisa hita poso ku chisaji cha WBBR.

Te twakuzachisa mapapilo wano hanga tusolole chisaji WBBR
Ha mwaka 1958, yanguchiza ha mulimo uze napwile ni kulinga, chocho yinguputuka kukalakala ku Shikola ya Ngiliate. Te nakukwasa mandumbu hanga atambule vistu, ni kwaaluliekela wenyi. Wenyi wa ndeke wapwile ni kufwika ndando yinji, kashika alongi waze te akuya ku África ni Azia te kakuya mu ulungu. Hakupalika cha miaka, muze ndando yaputuka kutepuluka ku ndeke, mishionaliu anji yaputuka kuya ni ndeke ku yiteli yo.
