BYO twashajikilepo bantu bo twafwakashijile ku mpunzha yavula bichi iji kwipi na muzhi wa Granabori mu kyalo kya Suriname, twakanjijile mu bwato ne kutendeka kuya mu mukola wa Tapanahoni. Ku ino mpunzha kunoka bingi mvula. Byo twafikile pamo patama pajinga bingi mukuku polopela wa ku bwato wipakile ku jibwe. Ponkapotu bwato bwalobele ne atweba pamo. Naumvwine bingi moyo mambo naluba kufwenka nangwa kya kuba naenda mu mato myaka yavula mu mwingilo wami wa bukalama bwa mwanzo.
Saka nkyangye kutwajijila kushimikizha kyamwekele akishai ñambe byo natendekele mwingilo wa kimye kyonse.
Nasemenwe mu 1942 pa jikuji ja Caribbean jawama bingi mu Curaçao. Batata bajinga bena Suriname, bino bavilukijile pa jino jikuji na mambo a nkito. Batata bajinga pa Bakamonyi ba kwa Yehoba batanshi kubatizhiwa mu Curaçao saka kwakishala myaka ibiji amiwa kusemwa. * Batata betufunjishanga Baibolo mulungu ne mulungu nangwa kya kuba javula kechi twakebanga kufunda ne. Byo najinga na myaka 14 twabwelele ku Suriname pa kuba’mba batata kibapeleleko kulama bulongo bainabo bakomene.
BALUNDA BAWAMA BANKWASHISHE BINGI
Mu Suriname naikele na balunda mu kipwilo batele bingi muchima kwingijila Yehoba. Bankijilekotu pacheche mu jifumbi kabiji bonse bajinga bapainiya ba kimye kyonse batemenwe kushimikizha pa bintu byawama byo bamwenangamo mu mwingilo wa kusapwila. Nemwenejile lusekelo lo bajinga nalo. Kabiji inge twapwisha kupwila, twisambanga pa bintu byo baambapo mu Baibolo. Kimo kimye twisambilanga pangye aku saka tubena kutala tubangabanga mwiulu. Bano balunda bandengejile kuyuka kintu kyo nafwainwe kuba mu bwikalo bwami. Nakebelenga kwingijila Yehoba. Byo nafikizhe myaka 16, nabatizhiwe kabiji byo nafikizhe myaka 18 natendekele kwingila mwingilo wa bupainiya bwa kimye kyonse.
NAFUNJILE BINTU BYANEMA BINGI
Kwingila mwingilo wa bupainiya mu Paramaribo
Mu bupainiya bwami nafunjile bintu byavula bingi kabiji bino bintu byankwasha bingi kwingila bulongo mwingilo wami wa kimye kyonse. Kintu kitanshi kyo nafunjile ke kuyuka buneme bwa kufunjisha bakwetu mingilo. Byo natatwile mwingilo wa bupainiya bwa kimye kyonse, mishonale aye Willem van Seijl wantele bingi muchima. Wamfunjishe mingilo yavula bingi ya mu kipwilo. Pa kyokya kimye kechi namwene
buneme bwa kufunjila ino mingilo ne. Mwaka walondejilepo byo bantongwele kwikala painiya wiikajila, natendekele kukwasha mabumba a balongo ne banyenga ajinga mwine munkonkoso ku mpunzha yavula bichi mu Suriname. Nsanchila bingi balongo nabiji Willem pa bintu byanema byo amfunjishe. Ne amiwa natatwile kufunjishako bakwetu bintu byo bamfunjishe.Kintu kya bubiji kyo nafunjile ke kwikala bwikalo bwapeela ne kuba bintu bulongo. Ku ntatwilo ya ñondo amiwa ne mukwetu mo twaingijilanga bupainiya bwiikajila twaikalanga panshi ne kunemba kajo ne bintutu bikwabo byo twakonsha kwingijisha ñondo yense. Kepo umo ayanga ku taunyi na kupota bino bintu. Twaingijishanga bingi bulongo bintu byonse byo twapotanga kuvwangakotu ne kajo pa kuba’mba kechi byapwila pakachi ne. Kabiji kechi twajinga na kisuse kya mali ne. Inge twakajilwa kintu ñondo saka akyangye kupwa, bantu bamo ku ino mpunzha yavula bichi ko twaikalanga betukwashanga umvwe kyakonsheka. Kufunda kwikala bwikalo bwapeela saka nkijitu mwanyike kwankwasha kuba bulongo bintu ne kutwajijila kuta muchima pa mwingilo wa Yehoba mu bwikalo bwami bonse.
Kintu kya busatu kyo nafunjile ke kufunjisha bantu mu mulaka wabo. Naambanga milaka yavula nabiji Kidachi, Kizungu, mulaka wa Paiamento ne Sranantongo (mulaka wayukanyikwa’mba Sranan). Ino milaka yamba bantu bavula mu Suriname. Bino mu mpunzha yo twaingijilangamo bantu baumvwanga bingi bulongo kwibafunjisha mambo awama mu mulaka wabo. Kyankatazhanga bingi kwamba milaka imo nabiji mulaka wa Saramaccan mambo byambo bimo bebitela na jiwi ja peulu kabiji bikwabo nabyo na jiwi ja munshi. Nangwa byonkabyo, nafunjile kwamba uno mulaka. Nafunjisha bantu bavula bingi bukine na mambo a kwamba nabo mu mulaka wabo.
Kimo kimye nalubankanyanga mu ñambilo. Juba jino nakebelenga kuyuka byaumvwinenga muntu umo ye nafunjishanga Baibolo mambo wakolelwe munda. Byo naambile byamulengejile kumvwa bumvu mambo kyajinga nobe mbena kumwipuzha inge uji na jimi. Nangwa kya kuba nalubankanyanga, bino nebikileko bingi kutwajijila na kusapwila bantu mu mulaka wabo.
