Twalebomba ne Nsansa Lelo Kwali na Mafya

Mu January 1962, twaninine indeke ukuya ku Antananarivo, umusumba ukalamba uwa calo ca Madagascar, twafwele ifisote ifya mafufu ne fya mpepo ifyatikama pantu ilyo twalefuma ku Finland ninshi nakutalala. Ku Madagascar kwalikaba, kanshi ilyo twafikile fye twalyalwile ne mifwalile yesu. Ing’anda ya bamishonari iyo twaleikalamo pa kubala yali inono, yakwete fye icipinda ca ku kati cimo. Muli iyi ng’anda mwaleikala bamishonari na bambi abaupana, e co ine na Veera twalelala pa veranda.

Twatendeke ukusambilila iciFrench, ululimi ulo ubuteko bwasuminisha ukulabomfya mu Madagascar. Ici calyafishe pantu ine na Veera tatwalelanda ululimi lumo lwine na nkashi uwaletusambilisha iciFrench, nkashi Carbonneau. Ena alelanda iciNgeleshi pa kutusambilisha iciFrench, nomba Veera na o taishibe iciNgeleshi. E co, nkashi Carbonneau nga alanda mu ciNgeleshi, nalepilibwila Veera mu lulimi lwa ku Finland. Twaishileishiba ukuti Veera omfwa sana ululimi lwa ku Sweden, kanshi nalelondolwela Veera umwalolele amashiwi ya ciFrench ukubomfya ululimi lwa ku Sweden. Awe tapakokwele sana twatendeke ukwishiba iciFrench kabili twaishiletendeka no kusambilila ululimi lwa Malagasy ulo balanda kuli cilya calo.

Natendeke isambililo lya Baibolo ilya kubalilapo ku Madagascar no mwaume umo uwaishibe fye ululimi lwa Malagasy. Nalefwaya amalembo muli Baibolo wandi uwa mu lulimi lwa ku Finland, lyene twaleyafwaya na muli Baibolo wakwe uwa mu lulimi lwa Malagasy. Nalelandapo fye ifinono pa malembo, lelo tapakokwele, ulya mwaume atendeke ukucindamika ifya mu Baibolo ifyo alesambilila kabili alilundulwike no kubatishiwa.

Mu 1963, munyina Milton Henschel, uwafumine ku maofesi yakalamba aya Nte sha kwa Yehova ku Brooklyn aishile ku Madagascar. Tapakokwele, iofesi lya Nte sha kwa Yehova lyalipangilwe mu Madagascar, kabili nasontelwe ukuba kangalila wa musambo, ukusansha pa milimo nalebomba iya bukangalila bwa muputule no bwa citungu. Imyaka yonse iyi, Yehova alitupaalile icine cine. Ukufuma mu 1962 ukwisafika mu 1970, bakasabankanya ba Bufumu mu Madagascar balifulile ukufuma pali 85 ukufika kuli 469.

Bushiku bumo mu 1970, ilyo twabwelele ukufuma mu kushimikila, twasangile kalata pa mwinshi iya kutweba ukuti bamishonari bonse aba Nte sha kwa Yehova bafwile ukuyamonana na cilolo wa buteko uulolekesha pa ficitika mu calo. Ilyo twafikile kulya, umwaume umo uwa mu buteko atwebele ukuti ubuteko butile tufwile ukufuma mu calo ukwabula no kupoosa inshita. Ilyo namwipwishe umulandu nacitile uwalengele ukuti bantamfye mu calo, ulya mwaume anjaswike fye ati: “Ba Kuokkanen, ala tapali umulandu mucitile.”

Namwebele ukuti: “Kuno twaikalako imyaka 8. Nomba e ku mwesu. Te kuti tuye fye ifi fine apabula no mulandu.” Nangu ca kutila twalyeseshe sana ukulondolwela aba mu buteko, batwebele ukuti bamishonari bonse tufwile ukuya ilyo umulungu umo taulapwa. Amaofesi ya Nte sha kwa Yehova yaliselwe, kabili munyina wa kulya kwine e watendeke ukwangalila umulimo wa kushimikila. Ilyo tatulafuma ku Madagascar no kusha bamunyinefwe abo twatemenwe sana, balitupeele ukwa kubombela kumbi, batwebele ukuya ku Uganda.

Ilyo umwaka wa 1990 walefika, ukukaanya umulimo wa kushimikila mu Madagascar kwalipwile, kabili twalipapile ilyo aba ku maofesi yakalamba aya ku Brooklyn batwipwishe nga kuti twatemwa ukuyabombela ku Madagascar pa mwaka umo. Twalefwaya ukuya, nomba twalikwete amafya yabili ayakalamba. Batata bali bakote kabili balekabila uwa kubasakamana, Veera na o alelwalilila. Nalyumfwile ubulanda nga nshi ilyo batata bafwile mu November 1990, nomba apo Veera alitendeke ukumfwako bwino twalikwete isubilo lya kutila kuti twaya muli bumishonari na kabili. Twaile ku Madagascar na kabili mu September 1991.

Batwebele ukuti tukabombeko fye umwaka umo ku Madagascar, lelo twaikeleko imyaka 10. Muli iyi myaka, bakasabankanya balifulile ukufuma pali 4,000 ukufika ku 11,600. Nalitemenwe sana ukubomba umulimo wa bumishonari. Nomba limo nalefuupulwa, nalemona kwati nshalesakamana bwino bwino ubumi bwa mwina mwandi e lyo no kumusansamusha muli fyonse ifyalemusakamika. Yehova alitupeele amaka ya kutwalilila.
