MO IMBUMBA YITU YIKAMANYILILA UBWANALOLI
Ubaba nu Mama bakamughanagha u Chala sona bakatulimbikisya ukuti nuswe bulo tumughanaghe. Ubaba akati abwela ku Nkhondo Iyabwandilo Iya Pachisu Chosi, akaleka ukughasubalila amachali. Umama akapalizya sana ichifukwa chakuti u Baba akabwelako wa bumi, po akamubuzya ukuti: “Karl, zatubukaghe ku chalichi ngati mo tukabombelagha.” Ubaba akamula ukuti: “Inthi mbasindikile bulo loli nthakuya pakwingilamo.” Umama akalalusya ukuti: “chifukwa buli?” Ubaba akamula ukuti: “Pakabalilo aka nkhondo abasongo abachipanga chinichi bakabasayagha abasilikali ni vilwilo vyabo! Nkimba u Chala akaba kuvigaba vyosi vibili?”
Pisinda pache po Umama akaba ukuti achili ali ku chalichi, Abakaboni ba Yehova babili bakiza pa nyumba yitu. Bakamupa Ubaba amabuku mabili aghakulongosola Ibayibolo gho ghakaba nu mutu uwakuti Light, gho ghakalongosolagha ibuku ilya Ubuvumbuli. Ubaba akaba ni chinyonywa sona akapokela amabuku agha. Umama akati aghennya bulo amabuku agha akanda pakughabelenga. Isiku limo po akabelengagha inyuzipepala, akagha amazyu gho ghakabitizyanga abanthu ukuti baye kuchimanyilo icha Bayibolo cho bakabombezyanga amabuku aghakuti Light. Umama akabuka. Akati afika, umukolo uwachasongo weyo akamupokelela pa mulyango. Umukulo uyu akakola lyoka mwamabuku agha, po umama akamulalusya ukuti, “Ka kuno mukumanyila amabuku agha?” Umukolo yula akati, “Inga ungingila.” Usabata uwakukonkhapo, Umama akatusenda twebana nu kubuka nuswe sona tukanda pakubukako usabata aliwesi.
Isiku limo po tukaba pa nkhomano, yo akatangililagha akansala ukuti mbelenge Salimo 144.15, lyo likunena ukuti bakuhoboka babo bakumwiputa u Yehova. Isimbo ili likanhobosya sana ngati mo ghakuhobosezya amavesi mabili agha, 1 Timoti 1.11 po pakuti ‘u Yehova we Chala uwakuhoboka.’ Sona ilya Aba Efeso 5.1, lyo likutubuzya ukuti “mweghelelaye kwa Chala.” Nkhazyaghannya ukuti mbaghiye ukuba ne wakuhoboka po nkhumubombela Umupeli sona mbaghiye ukumupalizya ichifukwa chakumpha ulusako ulu. Ivinthu vibili ivi vyovyo nkhuyezya ukubomba pa bumi bwane.
Ichipanga cho chikaba papipi chikaba ku Chicago ko tukendegha umutunda uwa makilomita 32 ukuti tuye tufike. Napo vikaba bububu, loli akabalilo kosi tukabukagha sona nkhanda pakumanya ivyinji ivyakukwafannya ni Bayibolo. Nkhukumbuka ukuti isiku limo po tukaba pa nkhomano, yo akatangililagha akamusala u Jetha ukuti amulepo. Po nkhivwisyanga nkhinong’ona ukuti ‘nazimenye ukuti vyovyo inthi amule. Nune bulo nge nimikagha inyobe ukuti namulepo.’ Nkhanda pakwisengannya akiza sona nkhamulagha mumazyu aghane na ghane. Loli ichakuhobozya nkhani chakuti ngati mo abakulu na bayemba bane bakabombela, nune bulo nkhaba pa bumanyani ubwiza nu Yehova. Pisinda pache mu 1941 nkhoziwa.

Ulukomano lo nkhulukumbukila nkhani lukabombiwa mu 1942 ku Cleveland, Ohio. Muvigaba ivyakupulula 50 ku United States bakalumikizya ku lukomano ulu pakubombezya itelefoni. Imbumba yitu, yikikalagha mumatenthi gho ghakaba kupipi na malo agha lukomano gho abakamu bakayannya ukuti twikalemo. Inkhondo Iyabubili yikaba ukuti yichili yitamalite sona Abakaboni ba Yehova bakaba ukuti bakuvwimiwa sana. Pabusiku, nkhennya abakamu bakwimika amagalimoto ghabo ukuzyungulila amalo gho tukaba nu kwasya amababu agha magalimoto. Bakapanga indondomeko iyakuti mugalimoto yiliyosi mubanje umunthu uwakuti alondelaghe ubusiku bosi. Bakapanga bunubu ukuti nanthi pangabombiwa chilichosi ubusiku, abakamu aba bakalondiwanga ukuti basye amababu agha galimoto nu kulizya uhuta. Umwakuti abanji bize nu kutwavwa. Apa ‘nkhennya ukuti abanthu ba Yehova bakaba bakwisengannya pachilichosi!’ Nachimo ichibibi cho chikabombiwapo, po nkhiyivwanga ukuti ne wakufighililiwa sona nkhaghonagha utulo utwiza.
Imyaka iyinji yikati yendapo, pa kabalilo ko nkhinong’onelaghapo pa vyo nkhamanyila palukomano ulu, nkhazyaghannya ukuti umama atakatapasyanga pamo ukoghopa. Akamusubalilagha nkhani u Yehova ni gulu lyache. Te nkhaluvyepo lumo ichifwanikizyo chache ichiza.
Umama akanda ubupayiniya ubwakabalilo kosi bo kwasyala panandi ukuti tupange ulukomano ulu. Akabikagha nkhani amahala ku nkhani zyo zikalongosolagha imbombo iyakabalilo kosi. Po tukabwelagha, akati: “Nalondagha ukuti ningabukilila ukubomba ubupayiniya ubwakabalilo kosi, loli nthangakwanisya ukubomba ubupayiniya nu kupwelelela pa nyumba.” Akatulaba nanthi tungamwavwa. Tukitizya, polelo akamugabila aliwesi ichipinda choka pamo vibili ukuti tuyannyanje po tuchili tutaliye ichakulya icha pandabindabi. Nanthi twabuka kusukulu, akenelezyanga ukuti panyumba pakuboneka akiza, pisinda pache akabukagha mubulumbilili. Akatangwanikagha sana, loli akabalilo kosi akatupwelelelagha. Akabalilo kosi nanthi twabwelako ku sukulu sona twiza pakulya ichakulya icha pamusanya akabanga nuswe. Amasiku ghamo nanthi twabwelako ku sukulu, tukabukagha nawe mubulumbilili vyo vikatwavwa ukuwivwisya vyo umupayiniya abaghiye ukubomba.

Nkhafumapo pa nyumba po nkhaba ni myaka 17. U Jetha a akaba we mishonale sona u Don akabombelagha pa Beteli. Bosi bakayighanagha sana imbombo yo bakabombagha vyo vikandimbikisya. Po nkhasayina ifomu iya ku Beteli ni ya Sukulu iya Giliyadi, pisinda pache nkhamulekela u Yehova ukuti weyo asale ko ningamubombela. Mu 1946 bakanitizya ukuti inje mbombelaghe ku Beteli.
Ukwa myaka iyinji po nkhaba pa Beteli, nkhabombagha imbombo izyakulekanalekana vyo vikapangisya ukuti imanyile ivinthu ivyinji ivipya. Nabombela pa Beteli ukwa myaka 75.

Ukuchila vyosi nkhahobokagha sana ni ndondomeko yo bakatupelagha ichakulya ichabuzimu ukwendela mukwiputa ukwa pandabindabi ni nkhani izyakufuma mu Bayibolo.
Nkhamanyila sona ivyinji kwa muzuna wane u Karl, yo akiza pa Beteli mu 1947. Akaba mumanyili sona mumanyisi umwiza uwa Bayibolo. Isiku limo nkhabuka kukwache ukuti aye anavwe ukwisengannya inkhani yo nkhaba nayo. Nkhamubuzya u Karl ukuti nasengannya ifundo izyinji loli nthakumanya mo ningazilongosolela akiza.

Nthakalondiwanga ukunena ifundo yiliyosi. Sona te nkhaluvyepo lumo vyo nkhamanyila pa kabalilo kala.
Ukuti tuhobokaghe po tukubombela pa Beteli, tukulondiwa ukuti tulumbililaghe vyo vingatughomya sana.
