Ndipu chinanga kuti tingaleka kukoliyana pa vinthu vinyaki, tingamaliza kukambiskana kwidu mwachimangu ndipu tingalutirizga kuja mabwezi.” Kweni venivi ndivu vinguchitika cha. Mubali Hoskin wangukamba so kuti: “Tati takambiskanapu kwa maminiti ngamanavi ŵaka, mliska uyu wangupuma chisasa mwanthazi mwakuti ndaŵanaŵananga kuti magilasi ngakulungakulu ngalakatikiyengi pasi.”

Mliska uyu wangudaniriza kuti: “Walekiyanji kuluta ku ŵanthu wo Mbakhristu cha kuti ndiwu ukakambiskani nawu?” Mubali Hoskin wangumuka cha, kweni wati watuwapu, mumtima pe wanguti, ‘Munthu uyu wachita nge ndi Mkhristu cha!’

Iyu wanguti: “Ndakondwanga ukongwa kupharazga kwenuku. Mwakuti ŵanthu anyaki akambanga kuti, ‘Tiziŵa kuti ndiwi munthu waku Chiuta!’ ndipu angujipereka kuti andipaskengi vinthu vakukhumbika pa umoyu.”

Mu chaka cha 1922, yiwu angupharazga mwachiganga vakukwaskana ndi Ufumu kuluska vyaka vakuvuli.

Mabwezi Ngachiganga

Akusambira Bayibolu angulongo kuti ayanjananga chifukwa chakuti awovyananga. Yiwu ŵenga mabwezi ngachiganga ngo ‘ngangubalika kuti ngawovyi pa nyengu ya suzgu,’ nge mo nkhani iyi yilongore.—Nthanthi 17:17.

Pa Chiŵi May 31, 1921, munthu munyaki mufipa wa mutawuni ya Tulsa, (Oklahoma, USA) wanguŵikika mujeri chifukwa wangupuma munthukazi munyaki mzungu. Ivi vati vachitika, azungu akujumpha 1,000 angupumana ndi kagulu kamanavi ka ŵanthu afipa. Ndewu yeniyi yingufika mwaliŵi kuchigaŵa cha Greenwood cho kwajanga afipa anandi. Ankhungu angusere munyumba zakujumpha 1,400 kweniso mumashopu ndipu pavuli paki vinguwotcheka. Malipoti ngalongo kuti ŵanthu 36 angufwa kweni viwoneka kuti ŵanthu mahandiredi ndiwu angufwa. Pavuli paki, chivulupi chenichi chingwamba kudanika kuti Tulsa Race Massacre.

Wakusambira Bayibolu munyaki zina laki Richard J. Hill, yo wenga mufipa ndipu wajanga ku Greenwood, wangukonkhoska vo vinguchitika kuti: “Usiku wo vivulupi venivi vingwambiya, tinguchita maunganu nga mpingu nge mo tachitiyanga nyengu zosi. Maunganu ngati ngamala tavwanga kuliya kwa futi mutawuni. Futi izi zingulutilizga kuliya mpaka usiku pakati.” Pa Chitatu ndi mlenji pa June 1, vinthu vingufika paheni ukongwa. “Ŵanthu anyaki anguza ndipu angukamba kuti asani tikhumba kuvikilirika, tingachita umampha kuluta ku Convention Hall ya boma.” Mwaviyo, Mubali Hill limoza ndi muwolu waki kweniso ŵana ankhondi anguthaŵiya ku Convention Hall yo yenga ku Tulsa. Kwenuku kwenga afipa pafufupi 3,000 wo avikilirikanga ndi asilikali wo angutumika ndi boma kuti akajalikiski chimangu.

Pa nyengu iyi Mubali Arthur Claus yo wenga mzungu, wanguchita vinthu mwachiganga. Iyu wanguti: “Ndati ndavwa kuti chivulupi ichi chilutiliya kuchigaŵa chosi cha Greenwood, ankhungu atuba vinthu va ŵanthu ndipuso abuska nyumba za ŵanthu, ndingusankha kuti ndiluti nkhamuwoneku mubwezi wangu wakwanjiwa Mubali Hill.”

Mwakugwiriskiya ntchitu buku lakuti Zeze wa Mulungu, Arthur Claus wasambizanga Bayibolu ŵana 14

Iyu wati wafika kunyumba ya Mubali Hill, wanguwona mzungu yo wajanga pafupi ndi Hill wakoleze futi. Mzungu mwenuyu wenga so mubwezi waki wa Mubali Hill, ndipu waŵanaŵananga kuti Arthur wenga yumoza mwa ŵanthu wo achitanga vivulupi. Iyu wangufumba kuti, “Ntchifukwa wuli waza kunyumba ya munthu uyu?”

Arthur wangukamba kuti: “Mzungu uyu wakalekengi kukhorwa ndi vo ndingumumuka, watingi wandilasengi. Ndingumusimikiziya kuti ndenga mubwezi waki wa Mubali Hill ndipu ndazanga kunyumba kwaki kananandi ŵaka.” Arthur ndi mzungu mwenuyu anguvikiliya umampha katundu waku Hill kuti waleki kubika ndi ankhungu.

Pati pajumpha nyengu yimanavi, Arthur wanguziŵa kuti Mubali Hill ndi banja laki ŵenga ku Convention Hall. Arthur angumukambiya kuti ŵanthu afipa angatuwaku cha kwenuku kwambura kuti mura wa asilikali Barett, walamula. Arthur wangukamba kuti: “Venga vakusuzga ukongwa kuti nkhakambiskani ndi Barett. Ndati ndamukambiya vo ndakhumbanga kuchita iyu wangundifumba kuti: ‘Kumbi uŵavikiliyengi kweniso kuŵapaska vinthu vo akhumbikiya?’ Ndinguzomera ndi mtima wosi.”

Mura wa asilikali wati wamupaska chikalata Arthur, iyu wanguluta mwaliŵiliŵi ku Convention Hall. Iyu wangulongo chikalata chenichi kwa msilikali yo wangudaniriza kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli chikalata ichi chasayinika ndi mura wa asilikali pe! Kumbi uziŵa kuti ndiwi wakwamba kutopu ŵanthu panu msanawale?” Pati pajumpha nyengu yimanavi, Arthur wangumusaniya Mubali Hill ndi banja laki. Wosi angukwera mugalimotu yaku Arthur ndi kuluta kunyumba kwa Mubali Hill.

Mubali Claus wanguwonesesa kuti Mubali Hill ndi banja laki mbakuvikilirika. Asani ŵanthu awona chiganga cha Mubali Claus kweniso chanju chaki pa abali, achiskikanga. Arthur wangukamba kuti: “Mzungu yo wajanga pafupi ndi Hill yo wanguvikiliya katundu waki, wangwamba kuŵatumbika ukongwa Akaboni aku Yehova kuphara kali. Ndipu ŵanthu anandi angwamba kusambira uthenga wa Ufumu, chifukwa ŵanthu aku Chiuta ŵenga akugaŵikana cha chifukwa chakupambana mtundu ndipuso pengavi yo wawonanga kuti ngwapachanya kuphara munyaki pakati pa ŵanthu aku Chiuta.”
