Pa kumbusha dipatula imue ya ku mikanda yetu, bantu ba Yehowa bakatuadija kuyisha lumu luimpe mu mushindu mukuabu, mmumue ne: ku kadiomba. Mu dia 26/2/1922 mu Dia lumingu, mu mapingaja, muanetu Rutherford wakakula bua musangu wa kumpala ku kadiomba ka KOG kavua mu Los Angeles, mu Californie, ku États-Unis; kuenzaye muyuki wa ne: “Bantu miliyo ya bungi badi ne muoyo lelu kabakufua nansha.”

Badi batshinka ne: bantu 25 000 bakateleja muyuki au. Bamue ba kudibu bakafunda mikanda baleja dianyisha diabu. Muanetu Willard Ashford, wa mu Santa Ana, mu Californie uvua mufunde pende, wela muanetu Rutherford kalumbandi bua muvuaye muenze muyuki “muimpe uvua mutusanguluje.” Yeye kuamba kabidi ne: “Ndi ne bantu basatu basama mu nzubu muanyi, kabayi mua kupatuka pambelu. Nunku nansha bu wewe mulue kuenzela muyuki eu pabuipi netu, katuvua anu mua kupeta mushindu wa kulua kukuteleja to.”

Mbingu yakalonda, bakenza miyuki mikuabu anu ku kadiomba. Ku ndekelu kua tshidimu, Tshibumba tshia Nsentedi tshiakatshinka ne: “bantu bobu bakese bavua 300 000 bavua bapete mukenji ku kadiomba.”

Pashishe mu Ditanu dia 8/9/1922, bantu 8 000 bakuwula mu lutanda tente, bindile ne muoyo kuulu kuulu muyuki uvua Rutherford ne bua kuenza. Bavua bindile bua ambe tshivua maleta “ADV” avuabu babafunde pa mabeji a dibikila umvuija. Pakavuabu basombe, kakuyi mpata, bamue ba kudibu bakamona mukaba munene wa tshilamba kuulu kua tshiakuidi. Arthur Claus uvua mufumine mu Tulsa, mu Oklahoma, ku États-Unis, wakasombela muaba uvuaye mua kutelejila muyuki bimpe bualu tshikondo atshi kakuvua mikro anyi biamu bia difuatula nabi mêyi to.

“Tuvua tuteleja dîyi dionso divuaye wamba ne ntema yonso”

Bua kuenza bua ne: muyuki kawimanyi, mulombodi wa mpungilu wakamanyisha ne: muntu yonso wafika panyima kabakumuanyishila bua kubuela mu lutanda pikala muanetu Rutherford wenza muyuki to. Mu dîba dia 9:30 mu dinda, Rutherford wakatuadija muyuki ne mêyi a Yezu adi mu Matayi 4:17 a ne: “Bukalenge bua mu diulu mbusemene pabuipi.” Pavuaye uleja muvua bantu mua kuteleja malu a Bukalenge ebu, wakamba ne: “Yezu nkayende wakamba ne: mu tshikondo tshia dimueneka diende neikale ne bua kulombola mudimu wa dinowa dia bantu. Tshikondo atshi, neakoke bantu balelela ba lulamatu kudiye.”

Muanetu Claus uvua musombele mu lutanda lunene, wakamba ne: “Tuvua tuteleja dîyi dionso divuaye wamba ne ntema yonso.” Kadi kusama kua tshimpitshimpi kuakamukuata, kudimona muenzejibue bua kupatuka mu lutanda lunene muvuaye. Yeye kumupatuka ne muoyo mukuatshidile, bualu kabavua mua kumuitabila bua apinganamu to.

Wakumvua bimpe mu minite mikese. Wakamba ne: pakavuaye upingana bua kutungunuka ne kuteleja muyuki, wakumvua tshikashi tshikole tshidila, kushalaye katshiyi ne muoyo munda, ke yeye kupangadija bua kubandila nansha mu malata bua ku kuteleja tshitupa tshia muyuki tshivua tshishale. Muanetu Claus eu uvua ne bidimu 23 tshikondo atshi. Wakafika anu ku dibanda mu malata au! Madidishi a pa mutu pa avua makangula; wakamba ne: pakasemenaye pabuipi nawu, wakabanga kuteleja muyuki bimpe menemene.

Kadi Arthur kavua nkayende to. Bavua ne bana betu bakuabu ku musaka aku. Umue wa kudibu, diende Frank Johnson, wakasemena kudiye, kumuebeja ne: udi ne kele ka kanife anyi?”

Arthur kumuandamuna ne: “Eyowa.”

Frank kumupingajila ne: “Udi diandamuna dia ku masambila etu. Udi mumone mukaba munene wa tshilamba eu anyi? Ntshimanyinu; mbawusuikile ku misonso. Teleja mulumbuluishi * au ne ntema yonso. Padiye wamba ne: ‘Ne nudi ne bua kumanyisha, manyishayi,’ ukose nshinga inayi eyi.”

Ke Arthur kukuata kele ku tshianza, mushale muindile pamue ne bakuabu abu mêyi avua Rutherford mua kuamba, amupesha njila wa kukosa tshilamba atshi. Pakafika Rutherford pa bunene bua muyuki wende, wakabanga kuwenza ne luya ne tshisumi tshia bungi; ne pamuapa uvua anu muambe ne dîyi dikole ne: “Ikalayi bantemu balelela ba lulamatu ba Mukalenge. Tungunukayi anu ne kuluangana mvita too ne pabutulabu Babilona Munene butubutu. Manyishayi mukenji eu too ne miaba ya kule. Buloba bujima budi ne bua kumanya ne: Yehowa udi Nzambi ne Yezu Kristo udi Mukalenge wa bakalenge ne Mfumu wa ba mfumu. Ntshikondo tshia mushinga mukole tshia katshia ne katshia. Monayi, Mukalenge udi ukokesha! Nudi ne mudimu wa kumanyisha bantu bualu ebu. Nunku, manyishayi, manyishayi, manyishayi Mukalenge ne Bukalenge buende!”

Arthur wakalonda ne: yeye ne bana betu bakuabu abu bakakosa nshinga, tshilamba atshi kupuekatshi panshi bitekete bitekete anu mutu tshilamba kayi tshionso tshipueka. Maleta a mu Anglais a “ADV” avua mafundapu avua ne diumvuija divua diamba ne: “Manyishayi Mukalenge ne Bukalenge buende.”
