Uku kukosela fye pa Nte sha kwa Yehova kwalimoneke nga nshi pa kusansa uko bapekenye bwino ukwacitilwe pa Nte mu April 1951. Imyaka fye ibili iyapita, mu 1999, Profesa Sergei Ivanenko, umwina Russia wasoma kabili shimucindikwa, alembele mu citabo cakwe ica The People Who Are Never Without Their Bibles ukuti mu kutendeka kwa April mu 1951, “indupwa sha Nte sha kwa Yehova ukucila pali 5,000 isha ku Ukraine, Byelorussia, Moldavia na ku fyalo fya Baltic Soviet batuminwe uko bali ‘no kulaikala’ ku cifulo ca ku Kabanga ica ku Siberia, na Kazakhstan.”

Nacilinga Ukwibukisha

Bushe kuti mwaelenganya ifyabimbilwe muli kulya kusansa—mu bushiku fye bumo ukwikata indupwa ishingi isha Nte sha kwa Yehova mu ncende yakule fi? Tontonkanyeni pa lwa kuteyanya abantu abengi—abapeelwe intanshi umulimo wa kwishiba Inte, lyene, mu nshita ya bushiku, ukubengilila mu mayanda. Icakonkelepo mulimo wa kulonga abantu mu fikocikala, amaceleta, na bamotoka bambi; ukubatwala ku fitesheni fya mashitima; no kubasendela mu matolokoshi ya fipe aya kwi shitima.

Tontonkanyeni na kabili, pa fyo aba bantu baculile. Bushe kuti mwaelenganya ifyo baumfwile ilyo bapatikishiwe ukwenda intamfu iitali—napamo imilungu itatu no kucilapo—mu matolokoshi ya fipe aya kwi shitima umwafulile abantu, kabili umwali fye imbeketi imo iya kupoosamo ubusali? Kabili esheni ukwelenganya ifyo cali ukubasha mu matololo ya ku Siberia, ukwishiba ukuti pa kuti bapusuke, bafwile ukucula muli ico cifulo cabipa.

Uno mweshi e lyo imyaka 50 yakumana ukutula apo Inte sha kwa Yehova shasendelwe bunkole mu April 1951. Ku kutweba ulwa busumino bwabo te mulandu no kupakaswa pa myaka iingi, ifyacitikile abapuswike fyalikopelwe pali vidio. Ifi fisokolola ukuti—nga fintu cali ku Bena Kristu ba mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo—amatukuto ya kulesha abantu ukupepa Lesa tayakabombe nangu panono.

Ifyo Ukusendwa Bunkole Kwapwishishishe

Mu kwangufyanya aba ku Soviet Union baishileishiba ukuti ukulesha Inte ukupepa Yehova kwali no kwafya ukucila pa fyo baleelenganya. Nangu ca kuti ababekete balebakaanya, Inte baleimba isha malumbo kuli Yehova ilyo balesendwa bunkole no kukobeka ifipampa fya fishibilo pa mashitima yabo ukusosa ukuti “Inte sha kwa Yehova Bali Muli ili Shitima.” Nte umo alondolwele ukuti: “Nga twafika pa fitesheni fya mashitima, twalekumana na mashitima yalesenda bankole, kabili twalemona ifishibilo bakobeke pa mashitima.” Mwandi ico cali ca kukoselesha!

E co ukucila ukufuupulwa, abalesendwa bunkole balangishe umupashi wa batumwa ba kwa Yesu. Baibolo itila ilyo babafopawile no kubeba ukuleka ukushimikila, ‘tabalekele ukusambilisha no kubila pali Kristu.’ (Imilimo 5:40-42) Cine cine, nga fintu Kolarz asosele pa lwa bunkole, “iyi tayali e mpela ya ‘Nte’ mu Russia, lelo yali fye ni ntendekelo ipya mu mulimo wabo uwa kusangula abantu ukuba Inte. Baeseshe no kweba bambi ifyo basuminamo lintu baleiminina pa fitesheni ilyo balebasenda muli bunkole.”

Lintu Inte bafika uko baleya ku ncende shalekanalekana, baleishibikwa ukuti bantu ba cumfwila ababombesha. Lelo, pa nshita imo ine, mu kupashanya abatumwa ba kwa Kristu, na muli fyo baleeba abalebacusha ukuti: ‘Twafilwa ukuleko kulanda pali Lesa wesu.’ (Imilimo 4:20) Abengi bakutike ku fyo Inte balesambilisha no kuilunda kuli bene mu kubombela Lesa.

Ifyafuminemo fili nga fintu Kolarz alondolwele ukuti: “Pa kubafumya mu calo Ubuteko bwa Soviet Union bwayafwilishe apakalamba ukwananya ubusumino bwabo. ‘Inte’ bafumishiwe mu mushi wabo [mu ncende sha ku masamba ya Soviet Union] no kubatwala ku ncende ikalamba, nangu ca kuti iyi ncende yali cifulo cabipisha ica nkambi sha kucushiwilwamo kabili isha busha.”

UMO PA MINSHIPENDWA—Fyodor Kalin Alondolola Bunkole bwa Lupwa Lwakwe

Ulupwa lwesu lwaleikala mu mushi wa Vilshanitsa ku masamba ya Ukraine. Ku maca pa April 8, 1951, bakapokola baishile ne mbwa, no kutubuusha, kabili batwebele ukuti ukulingana ne cipope ca buteko mu Moscow, baletutuma ku Siberia. Lelo nga twasaina pa cipepala cilesosa ukuti twaleka ukuba Inte sha kwa Yehova, te kuti tuye. Ulupwa lwesu ulwa bantu 7, pamo na bafyashi bandi na bana banandi, twapampamine pa kutwalilila ukuba Inte. Pali ilya nshita nali ne myaka 19.

Kapokola umo atile: “Sendeni cilemba, inyanje, ubuunga, amapickle, kabeji—nga tamwasende mukaliisha nshi abana?” Balitusuminishe ukwipaya inkoko na kapoli no kusenda inama. Baletele amaceleta yabili ayakulikwe kuli bakabalwe, kabili fyonse fyalongelwe mu maceleta no kufitwala kwi tauni lya Hriplin. Kulya, eko napamo fwe bantu 40 nelyo 50 batulongele mwi tolokoshi lya fipe ilya kwi shitima, baisalako ne cibi.

Muli lilye tolokoshi mwali amapulanga ayanono apo twingalala—ayashali ayakumanina—kabili mwali ne citofu ca malasha ne nkuni. Twaleipikila pa citofu ukubomfya impoto twasendele. Lelo tamwali icimbusu—twalebomfya fye imbeketi. Twalitulile icipunda pa nshi ye tolokoshi, no kubikamo imbeketi ine ilya, twacingileko amalangeti pa kuti umuntu talemoneka.

Twaletitikana muli lilye tolokoshi lya fipe ilya kwi shitima ilyo tuleenda panono panono intamfu iitali ukuya ku ncende tushaishibe. Pa kubala, twali no bulanda. Lelo ilyo twaleimba inyimbo sha Bufumu capamo—na maka ica kuti twafilwa no kulanda—twalesansamuka. Mushika aleisula icibi no kutulesha ukwimba, lelo tatwaleleka mpaka twapwisha. Nga twaiminina pa fitesheni, abengi baleishiba ukuti Inte sha kwa Yehova bashisenda muli bunkole. Pa numa ya kuba mwi tolokoshi lya fipe ilya kwi shitima pa nshiku 17 nelyo 18, basukile batwisha mu Siberia mupepi ne Cimana ca Baikal.
