Minu Yivanga Mamoso Yaba Tombulu Kuvanga

MU kuvioka 33 di mimvu, khomba Donald wuba mvuala wumboti mu kutedimina kimbangi Zimbangi zi Yave muingi banunga khumbu ziwombo mambu baba kuba fundilanga mu zinzo zi lufundusu ku Estados Unidos. Mvandi wusadisa batu, mimfelimi ayi mimfundisi bavisa ti kadika mbevu widi nsua wu kusola kukikinina voti ndamba bamvutula menga. Don, diawu dizina kaluta zabikinina kuidi bakundi bandi, nandi wuba tsuakulu mu kusala, waba kukikululanga, ayi wuba wukubama muingi kusadisa bankaka.

Mu mvu 2019, mimfelimi bayiza bakula ti yaya Don wuba kimbevu kingolu mu tonzu ayi kiawu kisi ko mbukulu. Kimbevu beni kifika konzuka ayi nandi wuyiza fua mu kilumbu 16 mu Ngonda Yinana mvu 2019. Akiki, kiawu kinongu kiandi.

Minu yibutuka mu mvu 1954, ku Saint Paul, divula di Minnesota, ku tsi yi Estados Unidos. Befu boso mu katolika tuabe sambilanga. Minu yidi muana wumuadi mu bana batanu tubutuka. Tona mu bumuana, minu yaba kotanga mu kikola ki katolika, ayi yiba nsadisi wu mimpelu. Vayi kheti bobo, yisa ba ko luzabu luwombo mu mambu ma Kibibila. Ayi kheti minu yaba kikininanga ti vadi Nzambi wuvanga biuma bioso, vayi yimona ti kinganga ki katolika kilendi kutsadisa ko kumbuogimina Nzambi mu phila yi kiedika.

BUIDI YIZABILA KIEDIKA?

Bo yaba vanga mvu wutheti wu kikola wumkubikanga mimfundisi ku William Mitchell Zimbangi zi Yave, bakokuta muelu wu nzo’ama. Minu yiba kamba bavutuka kilumbu kinkaka kibila bikhutu yaba sukula, ayi bawu bavanga mawu. Bo bavutuka, minu yiba yuvula: “Kibila mbi bankua mambi balutidi luzingu lumboti, kuvioka batu bamvanganga mambu mamboti?” ayi “Mbi yilenda vanga muingi yibaka mayangi makiedika mu luzingu?” Minu yikikinina ndongukulu yi Kibibila ayi baphana buku yiba ntu diambu: Kiedika Kinnatanga mu Luzingu lu Mvu ka Mvu, mvandi baphana Kibibila. Yiyangalala beni mu kazaba ti Kintinu ki Nzambi luidi luyalu lu diyilu luala yadila ntoto wumvimba. Yivisa ti luyalu lu batu luawu luntuadisanga malema, ziphasi, mambu makhambulu masonga ayi bivuka va ntoto.

Minu yikivana kuidi Yave va thonunu mvu 1982, ayi kutsuka mvu beni yibotama mu lukutukunu lu mavula luba ntu diambu: “Kiedika ki Kintinu” luvangimina ku divula Saint Paul. Bo vavioka sabala yimueka, minu yibue vutuka va kibuangu beni muingi kue vanga ziprova zitsuka, ziba kukhubika muingi kuba mvuala voti mfundisi. Va thononu Ngonda Yikumi, minu yizaba ti yivioka mu ziprova beni ayi yiba wukubama muingi kusala buka mvuala voti advogado.

Mu lukutukunu lo yibotimina, yizaba khomba mueka waba sadilanga ku Beteli yi Brooklyn baba tedilanga Mike Richardson. Ayi nandi wutsudikisa ti ku Beteli babe kutikisa zikhomba muingi basadila mu Dingumba Dinkakudilanga kiedika muingi kutsikika kisalu ki kusamuna zitsangu zimboti ayi kuzabikisa kiawu kuidi zimfumu zi luyalu. Minu yitebuka moyo mambu muisi Etiope katuba madi mu Mavanga 8:36 ayi yikiyuvula, ‘Mbi bi kuthula nkaku muingi kusadila mu dingumba beni?’ Diawu minu yiwesila nkanda muingi kusadila ku Beteli.

Matata mami basa kuangalala ko mu thangu minu yibaka makani ma kuba Mbangi yi Yave. Tat’ami wundiuvula: “Tsundu mbi yidi ayi ndandu mbi wunkuiza baka ngie wumanisini kikola ki mimfundisi kue sadila ku Beteli?” Minu yinsudikisa ti minu veka yikivana muingi kuvanga kisalu beni mu khambu tambulanga mfutu, vayi yinkamba ti bankuiza phananga lusadusu mu thalu yi 75 dolar ku tsuka yi kadika Ngonda, kibila yawu thalu baba vananga muingi kusadisa baboso baba sadilanga ku Beteli.

Bo yibika kisalu kiami kitheti yiba vanganga, mu mvu 1984 bathumisa muingi kusadila ku Beteli yi Brooklyn, Nova York. Batsola muingi kusadila mu Dingumba Dinkakudilanga kiedika muingi kutsikika kisalu ki kusamuna zitsangu zimboti ayi kuzabikisa kiawu kuidi zimfumu zi luyalu. Kisalu yiba vanganga theti ki kuba mfundisi, kikhubika mu mambu mankaka yimonikina kuntuala.

Mu kibila akiokio, zimfumu zi luyalu bamanga ku tuvana nsua. Zikhomba badinda muingi zimfumu zi luyalu bafiongunina mawu buboti vayi bawu bamanga.

Mu sabala yitheti yitona kusadila ku Beteli, yawu kimvuka kibaka makani ma kufunda mambu beni ku nzo yi lufundusu. Minu yizaba bu kuzonzila mambu ma phila ayoyi kibila vasa vioka ko beni thangu tona yibika kisalu kiama ku divula di Saint Paul, ku Minnesota. Wumueka mu zikhomba wuba mu dingumba ditu di mimfundisi, wutuba ti batu bawombo basadila kibuangu beni ki Stanley muingi kuvanga minkungi miwombo, dedi kumonisa zifilme ayi batu bankuimbilanga. Bosi tuyuvula zimfumu zi luyalu, kibila mbi muidi mu kumangina tuvangila zikhutukunu zitu kuna? Nzo yi lufundusu beni bafiongunina ayi bamona ti zimfumu zi divula di Nova Jersey basa kinzika ko kiphuanza kitu ki kubuongimina Nzambi.
