Ubwo bari bafite abana b’abahungu batatu mu rugo rwabo, bafite imyaka y’ubukuru umwe ine, undi icyenda n’undi afite cumi n’ibiri.IZI1 25.3

Twabasha kandi kubona mu rugo rwabo umukobwa w’umukirisitokazi mwiza wakoraga umurimo wo gufasha mu by’imirimo y’imuhira, kuko ibihe byinshi Madame White atabaga imuhira.

Madame White yari umuntu uzi guhaha abyitondeye, abaturanyi be banezezwaga no kujyana na we kugura ibintu mu maduka, kuko yari azi ibiciro. Nyina yari umugore w’umunyabwenge cyane kandi yari yarigishije abakobwa be ibyigisho by’ingirakamaro byinshi. Yamenye yuko ibintu bikozwe mu gikene ari byo bimara iminsi kuruta ibintu by’ubwoko bwiza by’igiciro cyinshi.IZI1 26.1

Isabato yaberaga abana umunsi unezeza kuruta indi minsi yose y’icyumweru. Nta cyabuzaga ab’uwo muryango kujya mumateraniro yo kubwiriza, kandi iyo Bwana na Madame White babaga badafite inshingano yo kubwiriza, bicaranaga n’ab’urugo rwabo mu rusengero mu gihe cyo kubwiriza. Igihe cyo kurya ku manywa habagaho amasahani atoranyijwe atakoreshwaga mu yindi minsi, kandi hanyuma iyo habaga habaye umunsi mwiza, Madame White yajyanaga n’abana mu ishyamba, cyangwa ku nkengero y’uruzi, maze bakitegereza ubwiza bw’ibyaremwe, kandi bakiga iby’Imana yaremye.

Bimwe byo muri ibyo bitekerezo hanyuma byacapwaga mu bitabo kugira ngo abandi babyeyi babashe kubisomera abana babo.IZI1 26.2

Hashize imyaka mikeya, mu 1863, yeretswe ibyerekeye kugira umuze muke no kurwaza abarwayi. Yeretswe mu iyerekwa imyenda ikwiriye yo kwambarwa, ibyokurya bikwiriye kuribwa, n’akamaro k’ibikino byiza no kuruhuka, n’akamaro ko kwiringira Imana kugira ngo tugire imbaraga n’umubiri ufite umuze muke.IZI1 26.3

Umucyo wavuye ku Mana werekeye ku byokurya, no konona umubiri kw’inyama wakuyeho rwose igitekerezo cya Madame White ubwe yuko inyama, ari ibyokurya by’ingirakamaro ku magara y’umuntu no kumutera imbaraga. Uwo mucyo w’ibyo yeretswe warasiye mu bwenge bwe yigisha umukobwa wafashaga mu byo kuringaniza ibyokurya by’ab’urugo ko azajya ahereza ibyokurya bifite akamaro gusa, byoroheje biturutse ku mpeke, ku bubemba, ku mata, ku rukoko, no ku magi. Hari amatunda menshi.IZI1 27.1

Igihe ab’urugo bazaga ku meza, habonetse ibyokurya byinshi, bikwiriye umubiri ariko nta nyama. Madame White yararikiye inyama, ntiyashaka ibindi byokurya, nuko ahitamo kuva ku meza kugeza ubwo yagarutse ashaka kurya ibyokurya byoroheje. Ikindi gihe cyo kurya kigeze bigenda bityo na none, ariko ibyokurya byoroheje ntibyamushishikaje. Hanyuma bongera kuza ku meza. Hari ibyokurya by’ubwoko bworoheje nk’uko yeretswe mu iyerekwa ko ari byo byiza birusha ibindi gutera umuze muke n’imbaraga no gukura. Ariko yari asonzeye inyama yari yaramenyereye. Ariko kandi ubwo yari azi ko inyama atari ibyokurya birushije ibindi kuba byiza. Atubwira ko yashyize ibiganza bye ku gifu, maze akibwira aya magambo ati: “Ushobora gutegereza kugeza ubwo ubasha kuiya umutsima.”IZI1 27.2

Ntibyatinze, Ellen White yishimira ibyokurya byoroheje, kandi ku mpamvu z’uko yahinduye ibyokurya bye, ubuzima bwe bwaguwe neza muri ako kanya, kandi ugereranyije, yagize ubuzima bwiza. Uko ni ko bigaragara yuko Madame White yari afite ibimurushya dufite twese. Yagombye gutsinda irari mu mibereho ye ubwe nk’uko natwe dukwiriye kuritsinda.

Bwana na Madame White bahoraga bahamagarwa n’abaturanyi babo ibihe byinshi mu gihe babaga barwaye ngo babafashe babavure, kandi Uwiteka yahaye umugisha cyane imirimo bakoraga. Ubundi abarwayi bazanwaga iwabo maze bakarwazwa neza kugeza ubwo bakira rwose.IZI1 27.4

Madame White yishimiraga ibihe byo kuruhuka no gukina, ari mu misozi, cyangwa ku kiyaga, cyangwa ahadendeje amazi. Igihe yari acagashije imyaka y’ubuzima bwe, atuye hafi y’icapiro ryitwaga Pacific Press ryari mu ruhande rw’iburengerazuba bwa Amerika, yagambiriye kumara umunsi wose aruhuka kandi akina.

Urwandiko Madame White yamwandikiye ni rwo tubonamo uko byagenze.IZI1 28.1

Bamaze kwishimira ibyokurya baririye ku nkengero, bose bagiye mu bwato bugendagenda mu kigobe cya San Francisco. Umwerekeza w’ubwato yari Umukristo wo mu itorero, kandi icyo gicamunsi cyari icy’umunezero. Hanyuma bagambirira kujya mu nyanja rwagati. Ellen White yanditse asobanura uko byagenze ati:IZI1 28.2

“Imiraba yari yasheze, maze duteraganwa mu buryo butumereye neza cyane. Mu ntekerezo zanjye numvaga binejeje, ariko sinagize uwo ngira icyo mbwira. Byari byiza cyane ! Ibijojoba by’amazi byatwirohagaho. Umuyaga wari ukase inyuma y’irembo ry’icyambu, kandi nta cyo nigeze kwishimira mu buryo nk’ubwo mu kubaho kwanjye.”IZI1 28.3

Hanyuma yitegereza amaso y’umwerekeza agenzura, n’ uburyo abari mu bwato bari biteguye kumvira amategeko ye, maze yitegereje abona:IZI1 28.4

“Imana ikomereje imiyaga mu biganza byayo. Itegeka amazi. Turi udutotsi gusa hejuru y’amazi magari, maremare y'inyanja ya Pasifika; ariko abamarayika bo mu ijuru boherejwe kurinda ,ubu bwato butoya bunyura mu miraba. Yoo, mbega imirimo itangaje y’Imana ! Iri kure cyane y’ubwenge bwacu ! Iyo irebye rimwe yitegereza amajuru asumba ayandi ikabona n’imuhengeri h’inyanja.”IZI1 28.5

Madame White yari yaramaze guhitamo kujya ahora anezerewe. Igihe kimwe yaravuze ati “Mbese hari ubwo mwigeze kumbona nijimye, nihebye, nganya? Mfite kwizera kumbuza ibyo. Ni ukudasobanukirwa neza n’igitekerezo cy’ukuri cy’ingeso ya Gikristo n’umurimo wa Gikristo, bitera gukora ibyo... Gukorerana Yesu ubushake, ubikuye ku mutim bitera idini y'umunezero. Abakurikiza Kristo cyane rwose ntibahinduka ubwire.IZI1 29.1

Hanyuma mu kindi gihe yaranditse ati “Mu bundi buryo batekereje yuko umunezero uhindagurwa n“ingeso za Gikristo ariko ibyo ni ifuti. Ijuru ni ryo munezero wose.” Kandi yavumbuye yuko iyo umwenyuye, kumwenyura kurakugarukira; iyo uvuze amagambo y’ubugwaneza, nawe uzavugwa amagambo y'ubugwaneza.IZI1 29.2

Nyamara hariho ibihe yababaraga cyane. Igihe kimwe nk’icyo cyamugezeho ariho akigera muri Australia yari agiye gufashayo mu murimo.IZI1 29.3

Yararwaye cyane byenda kumara umwaka, maze arababara cyane. Yabujijwe kuva ku buriri bwe igihe kinini kandi yasinziraga amasaha makeya gusa nijoro. Ibyo byamubayeho yabyandikiyeho incuti ye mu rwandiko ati:IZI1 29.4

Igihe nabonaga bwa mbere ndi umuntu utagira kivurira, narababaye cyane kuko nambutse inyanja ngari. Kuki ntari muri Amerika? Nagize igihe mpisha mu maso hanjye mu byahi byo ku buriri maze nkarira cyane. Ariko sinatinze muri ayo marira menshi. Naribwiye nti: Elina G.

Nakira cyangwa se ngapfa, ndagije ubugingo byanjye uwamfiriye.IZI1 29.7

“Nuko hanyuma nizera yuko azatunganya byose, kandi muri iki gihe cy’amezi munani yo kubura uko ngira sinigeze niheba cyangwa nshidikanya. Ubu, ibi mbibona ko ari umugabane w’inama ikomeye y’Uwiteka, kubwo kugirira neza ubwoko bwayo buri muri iki gihugu, n’abari muri Amerika, kandi no kungirira neza nanjye. Simbasha gusobanura impavu cyangwa uburyo bwabyo, ahubwo ndabyizera. Kandi nejejwe n’imibabaro yanjye. Nshobora kwiringira Data wa twese wo mu ijuru. Sinzashidikanya urukundo rwe.”IZI1 30.1

Ariko yanezezwaga no gukora umurimo mu isambu ntoya yahingwaga, no kugirira neza imiryango y’abamufashaga gukora umurimo we.

Rimwe na rimwe yabonaga abakennye ibyokurya n'imyambaro maze akajya iwe akareba utuntu abaha. Hashize imyaka amaze gupfa akajya yibukwa n’abaturanyi be bo mu gikombe yari atuyemo yuko yari umugore ufite imvi wahoraga avuga iby'urukundo rwa Yesu.IZI1 30.2

Igihe yapfaga yan agifite bikeya bimaze umuntu ubukene ngo abone uko yifata. Ntiyabwiye abandi kuba ari we bafatiraho icyitegererezo, kuko yari Umudivantisiti w’Umunsi wa Karindwi umwe wo muri twe, wiringiraga ineza y'Umwami wazutse kandi akajya agerageza gukora umurimo Umwami yamushinze akiranutse. Uko ni ko yageze ku iherezo ry’ubugingo bwe adakenyutse, afite ibyiringiro mu mutima we, akiranuka mu mibereho ye ya Gikristo.IZI1 30.3
