Ukwikatwa no Kubikwa mu Cifungo

Mu 1953 balimfumishe citute ku kulu. Lelo pali iyi yine nshita te mulandu no kuba uwacenjela, ba KGB balemona imilimo yandi iya ku mupashi, pamo ne fyo nalekopolola impapulo sha Baibolo. Ici calengele ine na baNte bambi batwikate no kutukaka imyaka 12. Lelo, lintu baletulubulwisha, twalipeele ubunte ubusuma pali Lesa, Yehova, na pa fisuma ifyo afwaya ukucitila abantunse.

Fwe bafungwa balitutumine ku nkambi shapusanapusana ku Irkutsk, ba kilomita abengi ukutali ku kabanga. Ishi nkambi e mo balekandila abo baletontonkanya ukutila balwani ba calo ca Soviet Union. Ukufuma pa April 8, 1954, ukufika ku kutendeka kwa ba1960, nali mu cifungo mu nkambi ishalekanalekana 12 umwali incito iyakosa. Pa numa bankuushishe ku cifungo icikulu icali mu Mordovia apali amakilomita ukucila 3,000 ukulola ku masamba. Ici cifungo cali pa kati ka kapinda ka ku kuso na kabanga ka Moscow. Ukufuma pali ici cifungo ukuya ku Mexico pali bakilomita mupepi na 400. Kulya nalishukile pantu nasangile baNte aba busumino ukufuma ku ncende ishingi isha calo ca Soviet Union.

Ba Soviet baishibe ati ilyo baNte baleba pamo na bafungwa abashili Nte, bamo pali aba bafungwa balebe Nte sha kwa Yehova. Mu cifungo cikalamba ica mu Mordovia mwali ififulo fya kubombelamo ifingi. Ukufuma pa kamba ka kubalilapo ukufika pa kakulekelesha pali bakilomita 30 no kucilapo. Ba Soviet baeseshe ukututalusha ku bafungwa abashali baNte. BaNte mupepi na 400 babikilwe pamo mu kamba. Ba nkashi napamo 100 bababikile mu cifungo cimbi icikulu apalepeleko ukufuma mu cifungo twali.

Mu cifungo, nali uwacincila ukwafwilishako mu kupekanya ukulongana kwa Bwina Kristu no kukopolola impapulo sha Baibolo, isho baleleta mu nkambi mu bumfisolo. Abakalamba abalelolekesha pa bafungwa mu nkambi, basukile baishiba umulimo twalebomba. Tapakokwele, mu August 1961, balinkakile umwaka umo mu cifungo icabipisha ica buteko ica Vladimir apali bakilomita mupepi na 200 pa kati ka kapinda ka ku kuso na ku kabanga ka Moscow. Kensha wa ndeke umwina America, Francis Gary Powers, uo balashile imfuti pa May 1, 1960, ilyo aletwala inengu ku Russia, na o ali umufungwa mpaka mu February 1962.

Ilyo nali mu cifungo ca buteko, balempela fye ifya kulya ifyalinga. Naleshipikisha ukwikala ne nsala, nga filya fine cali lintu nali umwaice, lelo ico nafililwe fye ukushipikishako ni mpepo iyaliko muli ba1961 na ba1962. Imipaipi ya kukafya amenshi mu cifungo yalyonaike, kabili mwaletalala sana. Ilyo Dokota amwene ubwafya nakwete, apekenye ukuti bankuushishe ku cifungo cimbi icishakwete sana mpepo pa milungu yali no kukonkapo.

Ifyankoseshe

Ukutontonkanya kwabipa kuti kwalenga umo ukufuupulwa lintu ali mu cifungo pa myeshi iingi, kabili ifi e fyo abakalamba ba mu cifungo balefwaya. Lelo, nalepepa lyonse kabili umupashi wa kwa Yehova na malembo ayo naleibukisha fyalenkosha.

Ilyo nali mu cifungo ca buteko e lyo naibukishe sana amashiwi ya mutumwa Paulo ayalanda pa fyo tuba ‘abatitikishiwa, lelo abashafenenkeshiwa ukwabula apa kusunkanina’ na mashiwi ya kutila “tuli abapeshiwa amano, lelo te bashaba na pa kufumina nangu panono.” (2 Abena Korinti 4:8-10) Pa numa ya mwaka umo, bambwekeshe ku nkambi iikalamba iya mu Moldovia. Ni muli ishi nkambi, emo napwishishishe imyaka 12 iyo bankakile. Nafumine pa April 8, mu 1966. Ilyo nafumine mu cifungo bampeele ishina lya kuti “Umufungwa uushingaluka.” Ine nalitemenwe pa kumpeela ili shina pantu calangilile fye apabuuta ukutila nalitwalilile uwa busumino kuli Yehova.

Ilingi line abantu balanjipusha ifyo twalepokelela impapulo sha Baibolo ne fyo twaleshikopolola mu cifungo ca Soviet nangu baletukaanya. Iyi ni nkama iyo abantu fye abanono baishiba, nga filya umufungwa wakakiilwe pa fya bupolitiki, uwa ku Latvia uwaikele mu cifungo ca banamayo ica Potma imyaka ine alandile. Pa numa ya kufuma mu cifungo mu 1966, alembele ukutila: “Takuli uwaishibe ifyo baNte balepokelela impapulo ishingi mu cifungo.” Asondwelele ukuti: “Cali kwati bamalaika baleisa ubushiku no kuponya impapulo.” Cine cine ni Lesa fye e walengele ukuti umulimo wesu upwishishiwe!

Lyena mu 1983, ilyo Lidia ali ne myaka 10, uwali kale Inte ya kwa Yehova alinsoseele kuli ba KGB. Inshita ici cacitike ninshi nalibomba mu mulimo wa kwenda pa myaka mupepi na 10 mu ncende yonse iyali ku kabanga ka calo ca Ukraine. Abalekaanya umulimo wesu uwa Bwina Kristu baebele abantu ukupeela ubunte bwa bufi ilyo batwitile mu kulubulula, kabili bankakile imyaka 5.

Mu cifungo balintalwishe kuli baNte bambi. Nangu ca kutila pa myaka iingi nali neka mu cifungo, takwali nelyo umo nelyo icili conse icandeseshe ukupalamina kuli Yehova, kabili lyonse fye alenkoselesha. E lyo cimbi nalesanga inshita ya kucitilo bunte ku bafungwa bambi. Mu kulekelesha, pa numa ya kukakwa imyaka ine, balimfumishe mu cifungo kabili naileikala pamo no mukashi wandi no mwana wandi umwanakashi, abatwalilile ukubombela Yehova mu busumino.
