VAICUMAERA VECISHANDISA RADHIYO
Hama jo ku Bheteri jainga jecishanda ko mukuvo unopindirija gore kuti vanasirire radhiyo ku dhorobha ro Staten Island, Novha York. Pavakapera kucenesa ndau iyi, ivona vakavaka nyumba huru kuitira vashandi no predhiyo ngo pamutivi payo kuitira mathurusi. Basa iri parakapera, hama jakatanga kurumari mathurusi kwenda nawo “mu estudhiyo.” Asi ijona jaizodikana kucungirira zvineso zvaizotevera.
Hama jakasongana no cineso kuti vatojanise antena huru yo radhiyo. Antena yainga no mametro anokwana kuita 91 kana (300 jo soka) yaidikana kupakaikwa ngo pamatabwa maviri ainga no mametro aikwana kuita 61 o kureba kana (200 jo soka).

Asi zvineso zvavo azvizivi kupera.
Radhiyo iyi yainga yecivha kubuda. Ngo kudaro, azvicaingepi zvakareruka kutenga zviro zvaidikana kuti iyona ishande. Hama jakawana mathurusi amweni ainga akashandiswa ngo mundhu waigara phedopo. Kusiyapo kutenga mikrofoni, ivona vakashandisa foni yavainga nayo. Pa usiku humweni mu mweji wa Fevereiro, hama jakatema civaringo cokuti jieje mathurusi aya kuitira kuvona kuti aishanda kana kuti haiwa. Kuti vavone kuti mathurusi aya aishandadi kana kuti haiwa, hama jakaimba ndumbo jo Umambo. Hama Ernest Lowe vanoceukija kuti hama pajainga jeciimba, ivona vakaashira shamadha ya hama Rutherford, b avo vainga vecizwa ndumbo iji ngo muradhiyo no vari ku Brooklyn. Kuvha kwainga na hama Rutherford no kwainga no hama jaingari jeciimba, painga no makiromita aikwana kuita 25.
Hama Rutherford vakati: “Imanyi kuita zvamuri kuitaro.” Asi pavakananga izvi vainga vecitamba. Vakatizve: “Zviri kuita inga kuti muri kukhuwa.” Ngokukasika hama jakaima kuimba. Asi vainga vecithemba kuti urongwa uhwu hwaizobudirira.
Mu njiku 24 ya Fevereiro wo 1924, hama Rutherford vakananga kuti urongwa uwu wo radhiyo, “waizoshandiswa kuti vaite basa ra Jesu Kristu” ravainga vakapuwa kuti vaite. Ivona vakananga kuti urongwa wo radhiyo wainga “wokubesera vandhu kuti vazwisise Bhaibheri no kuzwisisa revo yo njiku javaingari vecipona.”
Urongwa wokutanga uwu wakabudirira kamare. Radhiyo iyi yakazoshandiswa ko makore anokwana kuita 33 kuitira kubudisa urongwa wo vandhu va Jehovha.
IVONA VAKASHORA VATUNGAMIRIRI VO ZVIARA
Mu mweji wa Julho wo 1924, vajiji vo Bhaibheri vakaungana kuti vaite gungano ku Columbus, Ohio. Vajiji vo Bhaibheri vakavha mu nyika yese kuviya kuzozwa hurukuro ngo ndumi yo, Ciarabe, Cingezi, Cifransa, Ciaremanya, Cigriki, Ciungriya, Ciitaria, Cirituwaniya, Ciporis, Cirusia, Cikandanavhia, no Ciukrania. Mativi o urongwa uwu, akaithwa pecishandiswa radhiyo. Cimwenizve hama jakakumbira vandhu vaiita zvo kudhijhitari no kuimprimiri vaigara mu mutundhumo, kuti vatare musoro wo gungano iri kuitira njiku jese jo gungano.
Mu njiku 24 ya Julho ngo Mucina, hama no hambzaji jinopindirija 5.000, jakafamba jecicumaera masoko akanaka mu dhorobha makaitihwaro gunganoro. Ivona vakashandisa mabhuku aikhwedeja kuita 30.000 vecitangisa jijo jo Bhaibheri mu dhorobha rondhoro. “Njiku iyi yo gungano yakava inodakajisa maningi” ngokuti pakaziviswa zina rokuti Torre de Vigia
Ngo Mucishanu mu njiku 25 ya Julho, hama Rutherford pavainga veciita imwe yo hurukuro javo, no kucunga kwese ivona vakaverenga masoko aishora vatungamiriri vo zviara. Masoko avakaverengari aishoravo vatungamiriri vo zvoporitika, vo zviara no maemprezario. Vatungamiriri ava “vairambisa vandhu kuti vacajija cokwadi ngo pamusoro po Umambo hwa Mwari kuitira kuti Mwari azovakomborera.” Hama Rutherford vakanangazve kuti vanarume ava vainga vecishaisha ngokuti vainga “vecibesera Organização das Nações Unidas, vecivonesa kuti zvavaiitaro yainga njira yaishandiswa ndi Mwari kuti atonge nyika.” Vajiji vo Bhaibheri vaidikana kuva no cicunge kuti vakwanise kutora masoko aya akaverengwari ndi hama Rutherford vafambe vecimacumaera ku vandhu.
Pakufamba ko nguva, musoro umweni wokujija waiwanika mu Torre de Vigia wakananga kuti: “Gungano iri rakaithwari ku Columbus rakavangisa rutendo hwo cikwata ici caivangisirari maningi . . . , rakavapazve cicunge cokucumaera masoko akanaka
pikija no kuteverehwa.” Leo Claus wakati: “Pakandopera gungano iri, itusu tainga no cidaka-daka cakakura cokufamba tecicumaera ngo pamusoro po masoko akaziviswari pa gungano iri.”Mu mweji wa Outubro, vajiji vo Bhaibheri vakakovanisa zviuru no zviuru zvo makhopi o masoko ainga akaziviswa ndi hama Rutherford pavakaita hurukuro yavo. Ku cimutundhu cidoko ku Oklahoma, hama Frank Johnson pasure po kupejisa kukovanisa mataratadho, vakadikana kuvetera museswa jinokwana 20, vecivetera hama no hambzaji jainga jeciviya povaingaro. Hama jaingaro jeciviya, ajicaidikana kunonoka kuguma, ngokuti vandhu vo mu dhorobha raingari recicumaehwa ndi hama Frank vainga vakanyangajwa ngo basa raingari reciithwa ngo hama iyi. Ngo kudaro, vandhu vo mudhorobha iri vainga vecitopsaka hama Frank. Hama Frank vakatema civaringo cokwenda kofindara mugerejha rimweni raiwanika phedopo. Ivona vakaguma mugerejha riya mainga mucina nee mundhu umwe. Ngo kudaro, hama Frank vakasiya mataratadho pa kadera imwe nga imwe. Ivona vakaita izvi ngokukasika. Ivona vainga vacino cimukuvo padoko, ngo kudaro vakanghwinazve mu magerejha amweni anokwana kuita maviri voitazve zvavakaitaya mugerejha riya.
Perapo, hama Frank vakahwirirazve kwavaingaya vecivetera hama no hambzaji. Pavakaguma konayo, ivona vakajiviga sure ko bhomba ro mafuta, vecisotesesa vanarume vayani vaingaya vecivateverera. Vanarume ava vainga vecitoteveradi kamare. Vanarume ava vakadarika ngo pondhopo no karu asi avazivi kukwanisa kuvona hama Frank. Ngo kudaro, pasure po vanarume ava kudarika, ngo phedopo painga no hama no hambzaji jaingaya jecivetehwa ndi hama Frank, asi ijona jainga jecicumaera. Ijona jakaviya jotora hama Frank jopinda navo.
Hama imweni yakananga kudari: “Potaingaya tecibuda mu dhorobha riya, takazopinda ngo pamagerejha matatu aya. Mu rimwe nga rimwe ro magerejha matatu aya, mainga no vandhu vaikwana kuita 50 vaiima ngo kumbeji vecibhuisana. Vandhu vamweni vaiverenga mataratadho aya, vamweni vaimabatira kuitira kuti vandhu vaingaro vecicumaera vakwanise kuvona zvainga zvakatahwa. Takaita zvaushoni maningi ngokuvheyo ngokukasika kuti titame kuwanana no zvineso zviri zvese. Tinobongesera maningi Jehovha Mwari wedu ngokutijivirira kwake no kutipa uzivi kuti tinyise vavengi vo Umambo.”
VAJIJI VO BHAIBHERI VAKACUMAERA NGO CICUNGE CESE MU NYIKA JIMWENI
Vajiji vo Bhaibheri mu nyika jimweni vaicumaeravo ngo cicunge. Kumavirira ko Fransa, hama Józef Krett vakacumaera ku vandhu vaiita basa ro mina ku Polishi. Ivona vainga vecinasirira kuti vaite hurukuro yainga no musoro waiti: “Kumuswa ko Vakafa Kunozoitika Sambiri Pano.” Hama no hambzaji pajakakovanisa mukoka wo hurukuro iyi mu dhorobha riya, padhri umweni wakavhunja vandhu vo mugerejha rake kuti vacaendeyo. Ngwajo yake yakava no muviyo wakasiyana no zvaairangarira. Vandhu vanopindirija 5.000, vakavona hurukuro iyi kubatanijavo na padhri wiya. Hama Krett vakakoka padhri uwu kuti aende kojivirira zvaaitenda asi iyena wakaramba. Hama Krett vakakovanisa mabhuku ese avainga nawo ku vandhu vaya vavaingaya vakakoka ngokuti vakavavona kuti vainga no nyota yo Soko ra Mwari.—Amosi 8:11.
Hama Claude Brown vanogara ku Africa vakavisa masoko akanaka ku Coast Gold kunozivika nyamasi uno inga Ghana. Hurukuro javo javakaitari no mabhuku avakakovanisa, zvakabesera kuti cokwadi cikasike kuzivika mu nyika iya. Mwanarume umweni anozwi John Blankson, wainga ecijija kuti azoshande mu farmasiya, wakapurukira imwe yo hurukuro jakaithwari ndi hama Brown. Iyena ngokukasika wakazwisisa kuti wainga awana cokwadi. John anoti: “Cokwadi ici cakandisiya ndakadakara maningi, ndakatovhunjavo vadoni vangu vandaijija navo kucikora zvese zvandaingari ndapera kuzwa.”
John wainga akajija mu Bhaibheri kuti Mwari asipi Utatu, ngo kudaro, njiku imweni wakavhakacira gerejha rimweni kuti aende kovhunjisa padhri ngo pamusoro pazvo. Padhri wakamugogomera omukhuwira eciti: “Iwewe auripi Mukristu, unoita divi ro madhimoni. Budai muno.”
Paakaguma kumuzi, John wakatarira karata padhri uwu ecimukoka kuti aviye kuzojivirira zvaanotenda ngo pamusoro po Utatu ku musongano waizoithwa. Padhri wakadavira John ngokumuvhunja kuti aende ku hofisi yo mujijisi waikhwirira wo pacikora caaijijaya. Paakaguma konayo mujijisi wiya wakamuvhunjisa kuti dangani waingadi atarira padhri karata kana kuti haiwa.
John wakadavira mujijisi wiya kuti: “Hina ndakamutarira.”
Mujijisi wiya wakavhunja John kuti atarire karata padhri ecikumbira kuregerehwa ngo zvaakaitaro. Ngo kudaro, John wakatara kudari:
“Padhri, mujijisi wangu wandikumbira kuti ndimutarire karata ndecikumbira kuregerehwa kwamuri, wari ndiri kunasirira kuti ndimutarire karata ndecikumbira kuregerehwa, basi mukatendera kuti imwimwi munojijisa jijiso jokunyepa.”
Mujijisi wiya wakakahamara maningi, ovhunjisa John kuti: “Blankson, ndizvona zvaunoda kutara izvi?”
Iyena wakadavira kuti: “Hina ndizvona. Izvi ndizvona basi zvandingamutarira.”
Mujijisi wiya wakati kuna John: “Iwewe unozovhiswa pa cikora. Ungaitisa kudini kuti ubhuye zviro zvakashata ngo pamusoro pa padhri wo gerejha ro utongi woenderera mberi uri pa cikora co utongi?”
John wakati: “Mujijisi, . . . pamunotijijisa zviro totama kuzvizwisisa ushoni, atimuiti muvhunjo?”
Mujijisi wakadavira kudari: “Hina munoita.”
Ngo kudaro, John wakamuvhunja kuti: “Hina mujijisi izvi ndizvona kamare zvakaitika. Padhri wainga ecitijijisa Bhaibheri, inini ndakamuita muvhunjo. Kudari iyena aazivi kukwanisa kudavira muvhunjo, ngenyi inini ndinondovangirijwa kuti ndimutarire karata ndecikumbira kuregerehwa?”
Blankson aazivi kugogomehwa pa cikora. Iyena aatozivi kutumira cikumbiro cokuregerehwa ciya.
KUSOTA KUMBEJI
Tecigurisira basa ro gore rese rakaithwa, Torre de Vigia yakananga kudari: “Tingananga no cokwadi cese inga ndi Dhavhidhi kuti: ‘Munozondipa simba kuti ndihwe hondo.’ (Nduyo 18:39) Gore iri rakativangisa maningi ngokuti takavona Jehovha . . . Ecitibesera pa basa rake . . . vashandiri vake vakagondeka vakacumaera masoko akanaka no mudakaro wese.”
