Naho rhwagenda omu bote omu lwinji lwe Tapanahoni. Buzinda, oku rhwaliri rhwagera omu kashalala k’olola lwinji, amahirisi m’omoteri gw’ebote yerhu mashurha oku ntaza. Aho h’anaho, emulemo hava hayubira omu lwinji nerhu rhweshi rhwava rhwarhogera omu menji. Nahubaha bwenene. Chiro akaba oku naliri nabalama kanene n’ebote amango naliri nalambagirira ebibaga, ntaliyinji kuyoga!
Embere mbabwire gurhe byajaga byaba enyuma w’aho, muleke ntange mbabalire gurhe narhonderaga akasi k’amango moshi.
Naburhwaga omu mwaka gwa 1942 oku chizimba chikwirire orhankalola ch’omu Karibea (Caraibe) omu Curaçao. Darha ali muburhwa w’omu Suriname, aliko ahamiraga kw’echola chizimba eju y’akasi.

Amango naligwerhe myaka 14, rhwava rhwahamira e Suriname bulala darha alilonzeze kuja kushishikala nyina walikala ashajire.
ABERA BENJA NALIGWERHE BALINTABERE
Omu Suriname, nabwene mw’abera banene b’omuchibaga baliri bakolera Yehova oku bushiru. Balindushire myaka migeke kandi baliri bakola nka bapainiya omu chibaga. Amango baliri baganira oku bintu bachibwenere omu mahubiri, naliri nabona nka gurhe bagwerhe obusime. Enyuma w’embuganano z’echibaga, nyono n’abera bani rhwaliri rhwaganira oku myazi y’omu Biblia amango rhwalirhuyikere embuga eyi n’enyenyezi zili oku nkuba. Abola bera bani baliri bantabala menye bichi ndozeze kuyeneza omu kalamo; nalilonzeze nkolere Yehova. Bobola amango naliherhe myaka 16 nabatizwa. Buzinda amango naligwerhe myaka 18, narhondera akasi k’obupainiya b’okukahunda.
NALIYIGIRE EBINTU BY’AKAMARO
Amango naliri nakola akasi k’obupainiya omu Paramaribo
Nayigire bintu binene amango naliri painiya, n’echola chalintabere amango moshi naliri omu kasi k’amango moshi. Omufano, chiguma omu bintu birhanzi nayigire, chili oku, okukoomeza abandi chili chintu ch’akamaro. Amango nahwanzaga akasi k’obupainiya, mwene-werhu muguma w’omumisiyonere oyirikirwe Willem van Seijl, alintabere bwenene. b Alintabere menye okuntu nakashishikala engabane omu chibaga. Mw’agola mango, ntali wazize oku nalikenere kukoomezwa bwenene ntyo. Omu mwaka gwakulikiragaho naba painiya w’oku kahunda n’enyuma narhondera kushishikala echigusho chili hale omu mizirhu enarhogamo nvula nene y’omu Suriname. Ngwerhe busime bunene bwenene kubona gurhe mwene-werhu Willem aliri ankoomeza omu kasanzi kakwanene! Kurhenga agola mango nayunvirhe ndonzeze kukulikira omufano gwage g’okurhola akasanzi yinani nkoomeza abandi.
Echintu cha kabiri nayigire, kali kamaro k’okulama akalamo kayorohere kanapangirwe bwinja. Oku murhondero gwa buli mwezi, nyono n’owindi mwene-werhu waliri painiya rhulamire naye, rhwaliri rhwapanga rhwanaganja byoshi nji rhwakenera omu maboso manga ntya malimbere. Naho muguma anaja akola olugenzi lulehere l’okuja omu kapitale yaja kugula ebyola bintu rhukenere. Rhwali kwanene kukolesa bwinja olufuranga lwerhu rhunagalulirwa buli mwezi, n’ebyokulya rhwagulire yibimala omwezi goshi. N’akaba rhwakahwererwe na chintu chilebe mweyola mizirhu enarhogamo nvula nene, bantu bageke babakarhurhabere, hali n’amango ntaye wakarhurhabere Inchizerere oku, echantabalaga ngale kulama nalufuranga lugeke n’okumenya kupanga bwinja akalamo kani, kuli kwenge nayigire ebyola eyi nchili musole mudorho n’echola chantabere ngale kuseza obwenge bwani oku kasi ka Yehova omu kalamo kani.
Echintu ch’akasharhu nayigire, eli nyungu y’okuyigiriza abantu omu lulimi lwabo lw’akaburhano. Nakulaga eyi ndi naderha olulimi lw’Echijeremani, Echingereza, Echipapiamento, n’Echisranantongo, lumenyikerne kandi oku zino lye Chisran, k’okuderha, endimi abantu banazigana kuderha omu Suriname. Aliko omu mizirhu enarhogamo nvula nene, nalibwene oku abantu baliri bayemera oburhumwa bw’emyazi minja, amango rhuli rhwabahubiri omu lulimi lwabo lw’akaburhano. Nalibwene oku bikomere kuderha ziguma mw’ezola ndimi, nk’olwe Saramaccan, lunakolesa omulenge gw’enyanya n’ogweshishi. Aliko, chiro akaba oku naliri nachihangana bwenene, ngwerhe busiime bunene bulala nabigalire. Mu myaka minene, nagalire kuyigiriza bantu banene okuli bulala naliri naganira nabo omu lulimi lwabo lw’akaburhano.
Kweri, nababwira engani yani egayisize aliko enashekeseze. Omufano, mango maguma nabazize omwanafunzi w’Ebiblia waliri aganira olulimi lwe Echisaramaccan nka gurhe ali achiyunva, bulala esitoma yaliri yamuluma. Aliko kweri ebi namubwiraga kwali kumubaza akaba alibukule! Okuderha okuli, arhasimiswaga n’echibazo namubazaga, chalimukozeze eshonyi. Chiro akaba oku naliri nakola amagosa ntyo, naliri nachihangana kuganira omu lulimi lw’akaburhano lwabantu b’omu eneo yani.

Emyaka nagezeze eyindi painiya ominuzize omu mizirhu enarhogamo nvula nene, yanyigirize gurhe nakarheganya bwinja embere y’echihe n’okubika efuranga z’okugula ebintu rhwakakenere.
