Tikugomezgeka ku Boma la Chiuta Pera

1, 2. (a) Kasi Ŵakhristu ŵachali kulondezga fundo wuli? (b) Kasi ŵalwani ŵayezga nthowa wuli kuti tithere, ndipo ntchivichi chachitika?

YESU wakaŵa panthazi pa Pilato, uyo wakaŵa mweruzgi wankhongono chomene mu charu cha Yuda. Pa nyengo iyi, Yesu wakayowoya fundo iyo Ŵakhristu ŵenecho ŵachali kulondezga, wakati: “Ufumu wane ngwa charu chino chara. Ufumu wane uŵenge wa charu chino mphanyi ŵateŵeti ŵane ŵarwa nkhondo kuti nileke kupelekeka ku Ŵayuda. Kweni Ufumu wane ngwakufuma ku charu chino chara.” (Yoh. 18:36) Pilato wakapeleka Yesu kuti wakomeke, kweni wakajisuzga waka. Yesu wakawuskika. Mathemba ghanyake mu ufumu wa Roma ghakayezga kuŵaparanya Ŵakhristu, kweni ghakatondeka. Ŵakhristu ŵakapharazga uthenga wa Ufumu mu charu chose.—Kol. 1:23.

² Ufumu ukati wamba kuwusa mu 1914, ŵasilikari ŵankhongono chomene ŵakayezga kumara ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta, kweni tichalipo. Maboma ghanandi na ŵandyali ŵayezga kutichichizga kuti tinjilirepo pa mphindano zawo. Ndipouli, tichali lungalunga. Mazuŵa ghano, awo ŵali ku chigaŵa cha Ufumu wa Chiuta ŵakukhala mu vyaru vinandi. Nangauli vili nthena, tili ŵamoza. Tose tili ŵabali ndipo tikukolerana chimoza, tikunjilirapo yayi pa ndyali. Umoza withu uwu mbukaboni wakukwana wakuti Ufumu wa Chiuta ukuwusa, ndiposo kuti Yesu Khristu uyo ni Themba, wachali kulongozga, kutozga, na kuvikilira ŵanthu awo iyo wakulamulira. Tiyeni tiwone umo wachitira, ndipo tikhwimenge mu chipulikano para tawona umo watovwilira kutonda pa milandu uku tikuyezgayezga kuti tileke kuŵa “ku chigaŵa cha charu.”—Yoh. 17:14.

3, 4. (a) Ntchivichi chikachitika kuchanya Ufumu ukati wamba kuwusa? (b) Kasi Ŵakhristu ŵakayipulikiska fundo yakuti ŵaleke kuŵa ku chigaŵa cha charu? Longosorani.

³ Ufumu ukati wamba kuwusa, kukaŵa nkhondo kuchanya, ndipo Satana wakaponyeka pa charu chapasi. (Ŵerengani Chivumbuzi 12:7-10, 12.) Pa charu napo nkhondo yikawuka, ndipo ichi chikaŵa chiyezgo ku ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta. Kweni nga ni Yesu, ŵakakana kunjilirapo pa vyacharu. Ndipouli, pakwamba ŵakapulikiskanga yayi ng’anamuro la kulekerathu kunjilirapo pa ndyali.

⁴ Pa fundo iyi, mu buku 6 la Millennial Dawn,a la 1904, Ŵakhristu ŵakachenjezgeka kuti ŵaleke kunjilirapo pa nkhondo. Ndipouli, buku ili likati para munthu wachichizgika kunjira usilikari, wapemphe ntchito yambura kukora futi. Para vyatondeka, ndipo ŵamutuma kukarwa, mbwenu wawoneseske kuti waleke kukoma. Herbert Senior, uyo wakakhalanga ku Britain, ndipo wakabatizika mu 1905, wakalongosora umo vikaŵira, wakati: “Ŵabali ŵakapulikiskanga yayi. Iwo ŵakakhumbanga kumanya usange chikaŵa nadi chakwenelera kunjira usilikari chikuru ukuleka kugwira ntchito ya futi.”

 5. Kasi Gongwe la Mulinda Lachingelezi la Seputembala 1, 1915, likawovwira wuli kuti ŵambe kupulikiska?

⁵ Kweni Gongwe la Mulinda Lachingelezi la Seputembala 1, 1915, likawovwira kuti tambe kupulikiska fundo iyi. Pa ulongozgi uwo ukaŵa mu Studies in the Scriptures, likati: “Para ndivyo tingachita, asi ndikuti tathera?” Kweni wuli usange ŵakuti ŵatilasenge na futi chifukwa cha kukana yunifomu na kurwa nkhondo? Gongwe la Mulinda ili likati: “Chiheni chomene chingaŵa ntchi: kukomeka chifukwa cha kupulikira Karonga Wamtende na dango ilo wali kutipa, panji kulasika chifukwa chakuti taluta kukawonekera waka ku nkhondo mwakuti tikondweske mafumu gha charu ichi, uku tatondekaso kupulikira visambizgo vya Themba Lakuchanya? Pa nyifwa ziŵiri izi, yakwamba yingaŵako makora. Ukufwa chifukwa cha kupulikira Themba Lakuchanya.” Nangauli Gongwe la Mulinda likayowoya fundo yakupulikikwa iyi, paumaliro likati: “Waliyose wakwenera kusankha yekha pa nkhani iyi. Ili ni sachizgo waka.”

 6. Kasi mwasambirako vichi kwa Mubali Herbert Senior?

⁶ Ŵabali ŵanyake ŵakapulikiska fundo iyi, ndipo ŵakanozgeka kusuzgikirapo. Herbert Senior, uyo wazunulika pakwamba wakati: “Ine nkhawona kuti kugwira ntchito [yambura kukora futi] nga nkhukhizga vipolopolo mu sitima, vikuyana waka na kulonga mpholopolo mu futi kuti ŵalasire” ŵalwani. (Luka 16:10) Mubali Senior wakakana usilikari, ntheura ŵakamujalira mu jele. Iyo na ŵabali ŵanyake ŵanayi ŵakaŵa mu gulu la ŵanthu 16 awo ŵakakana usilikari. Ŵanyake ŵakaŵa ŵa visopa vinyake, ndipo wose ŵakagwira ukayidi mu jele la Richmond mu charu cha Britain. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakamanyikwanga na zina lakuti Richmond 16. Nyengo yinyake Herbert na ŵanyake ŵakaŵatumizga ku France mwakubisa, uko nkhondo yikaŵa mukati. Ŵakaŵaphalira kuti ŵaŵakomenge na futi. Iyo na ŵanyake ŵakaŵandandika kuti ŵalasike, ndipouli, ŵakaŵakoma yayi. Kweni ŵakajalirika mu jele vyaka 10.

 7. Kasi ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta ŵakapulikiska fundo wuli apo Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Charu Chose yikambanga?

⁷ Apo Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Charu Chose yikambanga, ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta wose ŵakaŵa kuti ŵapulikiska ng’anamuro la kuleka kuŵa ku chigaŵa cha charu. Kweniso ŵakamanya umo ŵangachitira pakulondezga fundo ya Yesu. (Mat. 26:51-53; Yoh. 17:14-16; 1 Pet. 2:21) Mu Gongwe la Mulinda Lachingelezi la Novembala 1, 1939, mukaŵa nkhani yakuzirwa ya mutu wakuti “kuleka kuŵa ku chigaŵa cha charu.” (Neutrality) Nkhani iyi yikati: “Sono ŵanthu ŵa Yehova ŵakorengeko yayi nanga mphachoko para vyaru vikurwa nkhondo.” Mubali Simon Kraker, uyo pamanyuma wakazakateŵetera pa ofesi yikuru ku Brooklyn, New York, wakayowoyapo pa ivyo likayowoya Gongwe la Mulinda ili, wakati: “Nkhapulikiska kuti ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta ŵakwenera kuŵa pa mtende na waliyose, nanga kuŵe nkhondo.” Chakurya chauzimu ichi chikiza pa nyengo yake ndipo chikawovwira ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta kunozgekera nkhaza zikuru izo zikaŵasanga chifukwa cha kugomezgeka ku boma la Chiuta.

8, 9. Kasi uchimi wa mpositole Yohane ukafiskika wuli?

⁸ Mpositole Yohane wakachima kuti para Ufumu wamba kuwusa mu 1914, chinjoka, panji kuti Satana Dyabulosi, wazamuwukura mlonga kuti uyore wose awo ŵali ku chigaŵa cha boma la Chiuta.b (Ŵerengani Chivumbuzi 12:9, 15.) Kasi uchimi uwu ukafiskika wuli? Kwamba m’ma 1920, ŵanandi ŵakamba kuwukira ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta. Ku North America, ŵanandi ŵakajalirika mu jele chifukwa cha kudemelera ku Ufumu wa Chiuta. Yumoza wawo wakaŵa Mubali Kraker. Nakuti mu nyengo ya nkhondo, mu majele ghanandi mu United States, pa ŵakayidi ŵatatu, ŵaŵiri, panji wose ŵakaŵanga Ŵakaboni ŵa Yehova.

⁹ Dyabulosi na ŵanthu ŵake ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta ŵaleke kugomezgeka. Mu chigaŵa chose cha Africa, Europe na United States, ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta ŵakaŵatoleranga panthazi pa makhoti. Pakuti ŵakakanirathu kunjilirapo pa nkhani za ndyali, ŵakaŵajalira mu majele, kuŵatimba na kuŵapundura. Ku Germany, ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta ŵakasuzgika chomene chifukwa ŵakakana kusopa Hitler na kumovwira pa nkhondo. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 6,000 ŵakajalirika mu majele apo chipani cha Nazi chikawusanga. Ŵanyake ŵakujumpha 1,600 ŵa mu Germany na vyaru vinyake ŵakakomeka na ŵanthu ŵa Hitler. Nangauli Dyabulosi wakaŵachitira nkhaza zose izi, ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta ŵakamara yayi.—Mrk. 8:34, 35.

10. Kasi “charu chapasi” ni vichi? Kasi chawovwira wuli ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta?

¹⁰ Uchimi uwo wakalemba Yohane ukavumbura kuti “charu chapasi,” panji kuti ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakupulikiska mu charu ichi, ŵazamumira “mlonga” kuti ŵapokeske ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta. “Mlonga” ni suzgo iyo yikuwira ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta. Kasi uchimi uwu wafiskika wuli? Kufuma apo Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Charu Chose yikamalira, kanandi “charu chapasi” chikukhalira kumanyuma awo ŵakudemelera ku Ufumu wa Khristu. (Ŵerengani Chivumbuzi 12:16.) Makhoti ghanandi ghakuvikilira Ŵakaboni ŵa Yehova para boma likuŵachichizga kunjira usilikari panji kusopera charu chawo. Tiyeni tiwonepo dankha milandu yinyake iyo Yehova wakanjilirapo apo ŵanthu ŵake ŵakachichizgikanga kunjira usilikari.—Sal. 68:20.

Wakati wafuma mu jele, wakalemba kalata kupempha ntchito, kuti waŵe akauntanti, kweni ŵakamukanira chifukwa wakakakikapo. Wakatolera nkhani iyi ku khoti mu charu chenechicho, kweni wakatondeka. Kufuma apo, wakadandawura ku khoti ilo likuvikilira wanangwa wa ŵanthu ku Europe, la European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Mu 2000, mphara ya ŵeruzgi 17 yikadumura mulandu wake, ndipo yikamukhalira kumanyuma. Ichi chawovwira kuti sankho lanthena lichepe. Pambere khoti lindadumure mulandu wake, mu Greece, ŵabali 3,500 ŵakakakikapo chifukwa cha kukana usilikari. Mulandu ukati wadumulika, charu cha Greece chikaŵafwatura ŵabali wose aŵa, kuti ŵaleke kuŵawona nga mbanthu awo ŵakaswapo dango. Kweniso pakaŵa dango lakuzomerezga waliyose uyo wandakhumbe usilikari kuti wagwire ntchito yinyake. Dango ili likaŵapo, kweni sono ndipo likamba kugwira ntchito yake, pakuti ŵakasintha malango ghanyake gha charu cha Greece.
