Ngeci, shongangeyeniko na bakweni mangana tulikwatasane kulinga eci cipangi ca kulitila.” Twakulahela ngwetu Baka-kulilongesa Mbimbiliya bakabangeyeye eci cinangulo. Mu mwaka wa 1922, bambulwile muzimbu waubwa mu kusimpa kutubakana mubalingilile mu myaka ya kunima.

Basimpile na Kukwasa Babusamba Babo

Baka-kulilongesa Mbimbiliya balimwesele cizemo omwo balikwasele. Basimpile na kukwasa babusamba babo. Ngwe muumwesela muzimbu unatako, bapwile “babushoko banasemukila ngeci bamwene hamo tuyando.”—Visi 17:17.

Lya mu cibali ha May 31, 1921, munalume umo wa kuzibala wa mu nganda ya Tulsa (Oklahoma, U.S.A) bamwakele mu kamenga mwafwa walwisile cindele wa munakazi. Ngeci, cibunga ca bindele ba banalume ba kutubakana 1,000 balwisile kacibunga ka banalume ba kuzibala. Olu lwozi lwatwaleleleho kuketa na ku mutambela kuje kwakele manene banu ba kuzibala uje ubatumbwile ngwabo Greenwood.

Banu ba kuzibala ba kweta ku 3,000 batewelele muje mu njibo, co baka-fulumende batumineko liswalale mangana akabanyungilile na kumanesa luje lwozi.

Ha simbu eyi, Ndolome Arthur Claus uje wapwile cindele, wasimpile na kulingako cuma cimo. Wendekele ngwendi: “Munjazibile ngwabo banu bali na kulwa, kwiba na kwenyeka binjibo mu Greenwood, njayongwele kukamona indi kabusamba kange Ndolome Hill na naanga yendi bali mwamubwa.”

Arthur Claus wakele na kulongesa banike ba kupwa 14 kupangesa libulu lya The Harp of God

Omwo Ndolome Arthur wetele ku njibo ya Ndolome Hill wawanene cindele ibalyatele nendi oku nakwata buta. Uje cindele yakawanene wapwile kabusamba ka Ndolome Hill, co wasinganyekele ngwendi Ndolome Arthur wapwile muka-kulwisa. Ngeci, wamwihwile ngwendi: “Uli na kutonda bika kuno ku njibo?”

Mu kwita kwa simbu, Ndolome Arthur wanangukile ngwendi Ndolome Hill na naanga yendi bali mu Njibo ya fulumende ya kulingila biwano. Ndolome Arthur mwaketele kuje, bamulekele ngwabo baje banu ba kuzibala bakele muje mu mutungo kubakele na kubatabesa kutundamo kubanga nga General Barrett uje wapwile mukulunu wa tupokola nasaina lipapelo lya kubatabesa. Ndolome Arthur wendekele ngwendi: “Kwapwile kwakukalu kulimona na mukulunu wa tupokola. Munjamulekele biyongola byange wanjihwile ngwendi: ‘Ukabanyungilila na kubana byoshe bibatonda ndi?’ Co njamukumbulwile ngwange eyo.”

Ndolome Arthur mubamwanene lipapelo lya kumutabesa, washatukilile ku Njibo ya fulumende ya kulingila biwano, co wakanene lije lipapelo kuli liswalale uje wakele na kunyungako. Uje liswalale wehwile Arthur ngwendi: “Mukulunu wa tupokola ikeye nasaina eli lipapelo ndi? Kuma uzibuka ngwobe yobe wa kulibanga kutundisa munu muno mu mutungo ndi?” Mukwetile simbu yaindondo, Ndolome Arthur na uje liswalale bawanene Ndolome Hill na naanga yendi. Co Ndolome Hill na naanga yendi bakobelele mu munyau wa Ndolome Arthur na kwiluka ku njibo.

Ndolome Claus wakwasele Ndolome Hill na naanga yendi bakale mu kwoloka. Mwanja wendi wa kusimpa na kumwesa cizemo ku bandolome bendi washongangeyeye bakwabo. Ndolome Arthur wendekele ngwendi: “Uje munalume injalikwatasanene nendi mu kunyunga bitenga bya Ndolome Hill, watambwile busunga. Banu babangi batolilile ku muzimbu waubwa mwafwa banangukile ngwabo banu ba Njambi bapwa ba kulikwatasana nameme batunda ku bisemwa bya kuliseza-seza. Co lalo, boshe balimona kupwa ba seho.”
