Maungano Ghakaŵawovwira Kuti Ŵapharazgenge Mwaluso
Mulimo withu ukaŵa wakukanizgika mu Georgia m’paka m’ma 1990 apo ukajulikanga. Nyengo yose iyi ŵabali ŵakakumananga mu magulu ghachokoghachoko kuti ŵachite Sambiro la Buku la Mpingo na Gongwe la Mulinda pera.

ndipo wakapulika ŵanthu ŵakuwodira. Wakati wazomera kuti ŵanjire, ŵadumbu ŵaŵiri ŵakanjilira pa mulyango ukuru na kufikira ku pulatifomu.” Lali wakuti: “Nangauli nyengo zinyake ivyo vikachitikanga pa maungano agha vikaŵanga vyakusekeska, kweni vikatovwira kuti tipharazgenge mwaluso.”Pakakhumbikwiranga Chakurya Chinandi Chauzimu
Kwa vyaka vinandi, ŵabali ŵachoko waka ndiwo ŵakachitanga fotokope mabuku ghakulongosora Baibolo mu nyumba zawo, pakugwiliskira ntchito mashini ghakuchita kupukusa na mawoko. Kuti ŵawovwire ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakakhumbanga mabuku, ŵabali ŵakayamba kuluta ku makampani agho ghangaŵasindikizgira magazini ghithu pa mtengo uwemi.
Ŵabali ŵakaŵa na luso chomene pakunozga magazini iyo ŵakakhumbanga kuti kampani yikaŵasindikizgire. Ŵakatayipanga makora magazini iyo ŵaying’anamulira mu Chigeorgia kuyana na umo yikawonekeranga Yachingelezi. Kufuma apo, ŵabali ŵakacheketanga vithuzi mu magazini Yachingelezi na kubatika mu magazini iyo ŵatayipa. Paumaliro, ŵakacheketanga vilembo vikuru vya mu nyuzipepara ivyo vikawonekanga makora ndipo ŵakavibatikanga pa chikopi cha magazini iyo ŵang’anamura kuti ŵalembe mutu.

Genadi Gudadze wakuti: “Ŵabali ŵa ku ofesi ŵakatilongosolera umo mulimo wa kung’anamura mabuku ukuchitikira. Ŵakatiphaliraso kuti kwizenge ŵabali kuti ŵazakatovwire umo tingachitira mulimo uwu.”
Mulimo wa kusindikizga mabuku ghakulongosora Baibolo mu Chigeorgia ukaŵa upusu yayi. Pakuti chiyowoyero ichi chili na kalembero kake na kake, pulogiramu ya gulu ya MEPS (Multilanguage Electronic Publishing System) yikaŵavya alufabeti ya chiyowoyero ichi pa nyengo iyo. Ntheura ŵabali ŵakapanga vilembo vinyake vya chiyowoyero ichi ivyo vikaŵa vipusu pakunozga na kusindikizga mabuku.
Kumanyuma, chakuumaliro kwa vyaka vya m’ma 1970, mbumba ya Datikashvili ya ku Georgia yikasamira ku United States. Pakati pajumpha nyengo, mwana wawo munyake zina lake Marina wakasambira unenesko.

Mu 1993, Michael Fleckenstein na muwoli wake Silvia, ŵakafuma ku ofesi ya ku Germany kuti ŵakajure ofesi yakung’anamulirako mabuku ku Tbilisi. Mubali Michael wakuti:
“Mu mutu mukendenga waka ivyo tikadumbiskana pa ungano wa ku St. Petersburg. Pakati pajumpha myezi 18, tikaluta ku Tbilisi, ndipo tikazizwa chomene kuwona kuti kukaŵa kale ŵabali na ŵadumbu awo ŵakang’anamuranga mabuku.”Mu myezi yichoko waka, ŵakajura ofesi mu nyumba yinyake yichoko, ndipo pakaŵa ŵanthu 11 ŵakung’anamura mabuku. Mipingo yikamba kupokera chakurya chauzimu mwakukhazikika chifukwa cha wovwiri uwo gulu la Yehova likapeleka ku ŵakung’anamura.
Kupelekera Chakurya Chauzimu mu Nyengo Zakusuzga
Wupu wa Soviet Union ukati wagaŵikana, mu vyaru vinandi mukaŵa viwawa na nkhondo zawenenawene. Ivi ndivyo vikachitikaso mu charu cha Georgia. Pa chifukwa ichi, mendero ghakaŵa ghakofya para munthu wakukhumba kujumpha mu charu chinyake.
Zuŵa linyake mu Novembala 1994, Aleko Gvritishvili pamoza na ŵabali ŵanyake ŵaŵiri ŵakajumphanga mu charu chinyake, ndipo ŵakakumana na ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa na vilwero. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakaŵaphalira kuti ŵayime na kukhira mu galimoto. Mubali Aleko wakuti: “Ŵanalume aŵa ŵakakwiya chomene ŵakati ŵawona kuti tayegha mabuku ghakulongosora
Baibolo. Ŵakatindandika pa mzere nga kuti ŵatikomenge. Tikalomba kwa Yehova kufumira pasi pa mtima kuti watovwire. Pakati pajumpha maora pafupifupi ghaŵiri, yumoza wa ŵanalume aŵa wakati, ‘Torani mabuku ghinu mulutenge, kweni para mwamuweraso, tizamuwotcha galimoto yinu na kumukomani.’”Nangauli ŵabali ŵakakumananga na masuzgo agha, kweni ŵakalutilira nipera kupelekera chakurya chauzimu mu Georgia. Mubali Zaza Jikurashvili, uyo wakajipeleka chomene kupelekera mabuku mu Georgia, wakuti: “Tikamanyanga kuti ŵabali ŵithu ŵakukhumbikwira chakurya chauzimu. Ŵawoli ŵithu nawo ŵakatovwira chomene kuti tifiske mulimo uwu.”
Mubali Aleko wakuti: “Ŵabali ŵanandi awo ŵakapelekeranga mabuku ŵakaŵa na mbumba.” Kasi ntchivichi chikaŵakhukiskanga kuti ŵalutizge mulimo uwu nangauli kukaŵa kwakofya? Mubali Aleko wakuti: “Chakwamba, tikakhumbanga kulongora kuti tikumuwonga na kumutemwa chomene Yehova. Kweniso tikakhumbanga kuyezga Yehova pa nkhani ya kupwelelera ŵabali na ŵadumbu ŵithu.”
Ntchito ya kupelekera mabuku yikayima yayi mu nyengo ya viwawa chifukwa cha mtima wa kujipeleka wa ŵabali aŵa, ndipo tikuŵawonga chomene. Pamanyuma, ŵabali ŵakasanga nthowa ziwemi izo ŵakendangamo na mabuku pakati pa Germany na Georgia.
Ŵakakhozgeka pa Nyengo Yake
Mu 1995, viwawa vikamara mu charu cha Georgia. Ntheura Ŵakaboni ŵa Yehova ŵakanozga vyakuti ŵaŵe na ungano wa chigaŵa wakwamba mu Georgia. Mu 1996, ŵanthu pafupifupi 6,000 ŵakafika pa maungano gha chigaŵa agho ghakachitikira mu vigaŵa vitatu: Gori, Marneuli na Tsnori.
Ungano uwo ukachitikira ku Gori ndiwo ukaŵa wambura kuluwika chomene. Nyengo iyi vinthu vikasintha chomene,
chifukwa pa Chikumbusko ŵabali ŵakakayikanga usange ŵangazura holo ya mu tawuni iyi. Kweni sono pa ungano wa chigaŵa ŵabali ŵakakhazganga kuti pizenge ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 2,000. Ndipouli, mu tawuni iyi mukaŵavya holo yakuti yingakwana ŵanthu wose aŵa. Ntheura ŵabali ŵakaghanaghana kuti ungano uwu ukachitikire pawaro, pa kaphiri, kufupi na tawuni ya Gori.Mubali Kako Lomidze, wakaŵa mu Komiti ya Ungano, ndipo wakuti: “Para pulogiramu ya ungano yamara, ŵabali na ŵadumbu ŵakachezganga nyengo yitali na kwimba sumu. Uwu ukaŵa ukaboni ku ŵanthu wose kuti ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta mbakukolerana chifukwa cha chitemwa icho chili pakati pawo.”—Yoh. 13:35.
Vyawanangwa Ivyo Vikawovwira Kuti Vinthu Viye Panthazi
Kwambira mu 1996, pakapangika ndondomeko yakuti ŵalaŵiliri ŵakwendakwenda ŵachezgerenge mipingo sabata yose. Ntheura ŵabali ŵanyake ŵakimikika kuŵa ŵalaŵiliri ŵakwendakwenda padera pa awo ŵakateŵeteranga kale kumafumiro na kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Georgia.
Kwambura kukayika, ‘mulimo wa chitemwa na wachipulikano’ wa ŵalaŵiliri ŵakwendakwenda aŵa ukawovwira chomene kuti mipingo yikure mwauzimu na kulondezga ulongozgi wa gulu la Yehova. (1 Tes. 1:3) Nadi, kufuma mu 1990 kuzakafika mu 1997, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakasazgikira ku gulu la Yehova. Mu 1990, mu Georgia mukaŵa ŵapharazgi 904, kweni pakati pajumpha vyaka 7, mukaŵa ŵapharazgi 11,082 awo ŵakapharazganga makani ghawemi.
Ntchito ya kupharazga iyo yikamba vyaka vinandi kumasinda, sono yikawoneka kuti yikwenda makora ndipo yikafika mu charu chose cha Georgia. Kweni Yehova wakaŵasungira vitumbiko vinandi chomene ŵanthu ŵake ku Georgia.
