Abantu benshi basaga n’abari bategereje ukuri ku buryo gutangira kubigisha Bibiliya byari byoroshye. Mu gihe cy’imyaka itatu gusa, itorero ry’i Surabaya ryari rimaze kugira ababwiriza 75.”

Icumbi ry’abamisiyonari i Jakarta

Icyo gihe, Umwisilamu w’i Padang muri Sumatra y’i Burengerazuba witwaga Azis, yandikiye ibiro by’ishami asaba ko hagira umuntu uza kumwigisha Bibiliya. Azis yari yarigishijwe Bibiliya n’abapayiniya bo muri Ositaraliya mu myaka ya 1930, ariko baza kuburana igihe Indoneziya yari yarigaruriwe n’u Buyapani. Hanyuma yaje kugwa ku gatabo kanditswe n’Abahamya ba Yehova. Yaranditse ati “igihe nabonaga muri ako gatabo aderesi yabo y’i Jakarta, nongeye kumva nshaka kwiga Bibiliya!” Ibiro by’ishami byahise byohereza i Padang umugenzuzi usura amatorero witwaga Frans van Vliet. Yamenye ko Azis yari yarabwirije umuturanyi we witwaga Nazar Ris, wari umukozi wa leta akaba yari afite inyota y’ukuri. Abo bagabo babiri hamwe n’abagize imiryango yabo bemeye ukuri. Umuvandimwe Azis yaje kuba umusaza w’indahemuka. Nazar Ris we yaje kuba umupayiniya wa bwite, kandi abenshi mu bana be ni Abahamya barangwa n’ishyaka.

Bamwe muri bo basubiye mu midugudu y’iwabo muri Kalimantan, maze batangizayo amatsinda yaje kuvamo amatorero akomeye.

Basohora ibitabo mu kinyandoneziya

Kubera ko umurimo wo kubwiriza wateraga imbere mu buryo bwihuse, abavandimwe bari bakeneye ibitabo byinshi mu kinyandoneziya. Mu mwaka wa 1951, agatabo kavugaga ko Imana igira ukuri kahinduwe mu kinyandoneziya; icyakora abategetsi bavuguruye imyandikire y’ikinyandoneziya maze biba ngombwa ko ibiro by’ishami bisubiramo ako gatabo. * Amaherezo ako gatabo karasohotse maze gashishikaza Abanyandoneziya benshi.

Mu wa 1953, ibiro by’ishami byacapye kopi 250 z’Umunara w’Umurinzi mu kinyandoneziya, zikaba ari zo za mbere zari zicapiwe muri Indoneziya nyuma y’imyaka 12. Iyo gazeti yari ifite amapaji 12 kandi yabaga irimo ibice byo kwigwa gusa. Hashize imyaka itatu, amapaji yariyongereye agera kuri 16, kandi icyo gihe icapiro ry’abacuruzi ryacapaga kopi zayo 10.000 buri kwezi.

Mu wa 1957, Nimukanguke! yatangiye gusohoka buri kwezi mu kinyandoneziya. Kopi zatangwaga zahise zigera ku 10.000. Kubera ko impapuro zari zarabuze, abavandimwe bagombaga kwandikira leta bazisaba. Umutegetsi wasuzumye iyo dosiye yabwiye abo bavandimwe ati “mbona ko Menara Pengawa (Umunara w’Umurinzi), ari kimwe mu binyamakuru byiza cyane byo muri Indoneziya kandi nshimishijwe rwose no kubafasha kugira ngo muzabone impapuro muzajya mucapaho ikinyamakuru cyanyu.”
