Transcript for "A personal experience"

Ese khumasina bali Michael Nalungu.

My name is Michael Nalungu.

Ekhola bwimelesi musikuli sino.

I am a leader in this school.

Ne nenyile ngachule mumusale.

I wanted to talk about a friend.

Baloma bali sili mungubo sikhuluma.

They said, whatever is in your clothes is whatever bites you.

Nendi mukilasi ya kumi, naba nende omusale wase, naba soma mukilasi ekindi niye asoma mukilasi ekindi.

When I was in form one, I had a friend and I was in a different class than he was.

Omusale yuno, omusale yuno kakhecha kaba omundu wamanya wele sana.

This friend came to be someone who knows God much.

Nono nekakhacha kamanya likhuwa lia wele kakhacha mukilasi najariba khubolela babasie ekilasi niyo basoma naye bamanye wele.

So as he came to know the word of God, he used to come to class trying to tell others in his class to know God.

Mala ese nakhechamo mukilasi ngenabona omusale wase yani kaba natilile ebaibo akira kando mala kachaka khwilwacha mala ng’ali ebaibo emufu.

As I came to the class and as I saw my friend, when he had a chance, he would put aside the bible and he would preach the whole bible.

Mala nandi ta, khubela si niye anyala khwilwacha ebaibo emufu nese khwama nenibulwe khabonakho ta.

I became skeptical, "why is he able to preach the whole bible, and since I was born I have never seen."

Ata khwise samwena naitila bibaso khane binga busa, bitaru.

Even myself, I have mastered a few verses, like three.

Ingawa manyile wele sana.

Though I truly know God.

Mala ese necha nakanakana, nakanakana omusale wase yuno nibyo khakhola bino kumoyo kwase nandi ta.

I came to medidate about the things that my friend is doing, my heart resisted,

Sembara ndi kharumikhila kamani kewe tawe.

I am not sure if he is using his own powers.

Aba omusale yuno yaba esiku ndala kecha nono mukilasi nimwo somanga khwekhala naye.

There was one day, this friend came in my class and we sat together.

Kelwacha sana mala naloma ndi ta nasima.

He preached a lot and I said thank you.

Aba chola akoloba khwalota khwacha engo.

When it was evening, we left for home.

Nekhala nakanakana mubise nibyo khukhola khusoma khwefwe bali study khane.

I sat and thought up to the time we go for personal studies. (preps)

Mala ese nekhala khumesa ng’ali nakhilwa khusoma.

I sat at the table, and for sure I was unable to study.

Nebasia omusale wase yuno.

I thought about this friend of mine.

Kang’ali buli bung’ali mundu onyala khuloma busa sitabu sino khwama sa ndala mpaka lubaso lumalilisi lwe bitabu biosi bino emurwe busa?

"For sure, is it possible someone to preach this whole book from the start up to the last verse off-head?"

Ne nandi tawe, ndelayo lundi murebe.

I said,"no, I will go back and ask him."

Nekhacha ta chola bise bya khukona saa tatu, nakona.

Before I went, it was already bedtime, at nine at night, I slept.

Naba nende wandase niye nonda chisafari chitaru, omweneyo niye akhola bikasi byekhusilikha bino, khucha bali khane apime bulwale sina.

I had my sibling, who I followed three times, he does things about medical, carrying out tests about diseases.

Aya nakhakona chola musaa saba wandase kenyukha ali, “Ah, mwana wefwe, nakhakona narora ndarukanga bandu bafwile, eyi khenduka bilindwa, sina sibi?

After I had slept at around 1AM at night, my brother woke up saying, "my brother, I have slept and dreamed that I am jumping over people who are dead and graves, what could be wrong?

Onyala wambolelakho sina sibi kamaroro kenako?”

Could you tell me what is wrong about the dream?"

Mala nenama esikuli necha nekhatabu fulani nikho omusale wase kambele khaba oli khabaibo.

When I came from school, I had a certain book that my friend gave me that looks like a bible.

Nono awenao senaba ndi mundu wekhu… ese olamba sindu bukesi nebuluilile olamba sa nembikha.

I was not someone who kept something, at times when you give me something when my brain is tired, you will give it to me and I will keep it.

Kamba nabikha nandi ta, “Ndacha mbiremo engo khusai sino nabona kumurwe kwakhola oli kusitoa, sendasoma sai sino ta.”

He gave it to me and I kept it saying, "I will go through it at home because at the moment my head is somehow heavy, I will not read right now."

Aba nola engo kamani ese kambwa nakhara khulamb stool angaki aa.

I reached at home tired and kept it on a lamp stool.

Aba wandase kakona kara “Ndaroranga kamaroro kekhuruka bafu, khuruka bilindwa.”

As my brother slept and said, "I am dreaming dreams of jumping over dead people and jumping over graves."

Nese nandi koo, “Bali bindu nibyo orora bifwana biri biri binyala byecha ata byakholekhana mufamily muno. Mala sekhumanya aba nanu ta. Enyala khuba ese ewe namwe mundu fulani yesi yesi.”

Then I said, "Things that you dream that look like this might come and happen to our family, and we will not know who, it might be me, you or anybody else."

Naloma nandi, “Ta, ese mbele nomusale angachusie kamakhuwa ka Wele kamba khatabu fulani mala khatabu khano sendolile mukari namwe sendolile khafwana khariena ta.”

I said, "No, I have a friend who told me things to do with God, he gave me a small book which I didn't open to look inside, neither did I check how it looks."

Nese kumoyo kwase kwasubile ndi koo, omusoleli yuno omusale woo yuno khakhuenja mungila fulani.

And my heart became suspicious that my friend is looking at me in a certain way.

Na nge nabukula khatabu khenakho nakhabukula nakhola asubuhi.

And as I took that book, I took and checked it in the morning.

Ng’ali ndola kumurwe oli kwomundu, bikele sikhembona ta khebicha oli biba lundi kumukhinga, sembona niye biwela ta.

For sure, when I checked, the human-like head, I cannot see the legs, they appear to be like a tail, I can't see where they end.

Nandi, “Wandase nichile ne khandu fulani mala omusale yuno khekambenja.”

I said, "my brother I came with something and this friend is looking not in good will."

Nandi, “Ndabukula khandu khano muilile, nekhaila ta ndekhupasi kamasikamo kase sabe Wele sikila niye we bunyali.

I said, "I will take this thing and take it to him, and before I take it to him I will kneel and pray to God, because he is all powerful."

Niyo wakhakhola waroro niyo wakhakhola nakanakana nandi khumaroro kenaka khandu khano khakhola.

He is the one who made me think that those dreams are being brought by this thing.

Khanyala khurera eshida mungo muno.”

It brings a problem in this home.

Nge bwasia asubuhi bawandase bosi, nasomanga ne bawandase babili mukilasi ndala ese niye waba omutiti aba.

In the morning, all my siblings, I went to same class with my two siblings, I was the youngest.

Benyukha becha khumuliango bali, “Michael inyukha khuche esikuli bise biolile byekhucha.”

They woke up and came at the door to wake me up so we could leave for school, "Michael, wake up, we're going to school, it is already time to go."

Nandi, “Ta, kheninyukha wase.”

I answered, "I am waking up."

Nako-o-o-ona. Mayi nayo kecha ali, “Ewe, sewamanyile oli kenyekhana oche esikuli ta?”

I slept for a long time. Mum then came and said, "you, are you not aware that you are supposed to go to school?"

Nandi, “Ta mayi, emanyile ndi esikuli lazima ndikhucha sikila manyile sa bibyenebyo, esikuli khenja.”

I answered, "No mum, I know I must go to school, because I know that."

Ng’ali kamani kambwa.

Truly, I lost energy.

Khwinyukha oli gwasi nenyukha kitu saa moja anano.

Waking up, I fell down, I woke up at around 7 in the morning.

Nenyukha nacha nesaba neakha kamafura ka mwabene muli ka ng’ombe.

I woke up and went to wash myself, I applied oil known for the cow.

Aaas, aba ndi, “Wandase sitabu nisio mbone esiesio kenyekhane khusabe fwesi khwiche khure alala kimikhono sikila nekhura alala kamakhono shetani alikhukhilwa, nio sisute, ne busa nasuta silikhurera eshida.”

All right, I then said," My brother, that book that I saw, we need to pray together, we come and put together our hands, because when we put together our hands, satan will fail before I carry it, because when I carry it, it will bring a problem."

Wandase kenyokha yesi kamani kamuwele khumaroro niko arorire kekhurikhirisia sina, khwasala.

My brother also woke up very weak because of the nightmares he had, we prayed.

Khwasala, nembukula sitabu nemwekesia na, “wandase nisio sino.”

As we prayed, I took the book and showed him, "Brother this is the book."

Ne kumoyo kwase kuloma kuli khesicha khwira abele mundu mulala.

My instincts told me it was supposed to kill one person.

Abele nasino khubukula bitabu narura mugeti, narura babene mbo mugeti yani silibwa.

I was used to picking books and getting out of the gate, I got out of what they call a gate, we call it an exit or entrance.

Nono nge narura nesendakho sa bikele kadhaa, ng’ali basale efula seyaba yakwile ta, kumumyukhu sekwabakho ta, senaba ndwala bukesi ta, ese naba sa omulamu nama ne nga naba ne khengenda lundi seyaba bali ndima ta.

So when I got out and moved a few steps, for sure friends, it hadn't rained, it wasn't slippery, I wasn't mentally sick, I was just healthy, and as I was walking, and it was not that I was running.

Naba ngenda sa nge kawaida yani khukenda sa khe khuiulila sa soumia ta, khukenda sa khulai.

I was just walking as normal, just walking for fun, you don't feel pain, just a good walk.

Nama nge nesenda nakwa.

And as I moved, I fell.

Nge nakwa nakwa lubeka luno khane mwabwene muloma muli lukhasi, napasi kumwikha (kumunyikha) sana mala lubeka luno lukhasi luno namaa ng’ali naumia kamafuki aba kacha.

As I fell, I fell on my left handside, I fell with a thud and my left handside got injured, and blood started oozing.

Mala siama sili yakhaba esikuli neli atai engo aembi, cha.

Then something told me, even if the school far and home is near, go.

Cha sa yakhaba neli atai cha busa.

Just go, even if it is far, just go.

Aba nekhalilikha nakenda.

I gathered courage and went.

Naba oli nola karibu asukuli as nono naba mukilasi ya kumi alio omusoleli okundi mukilasi ya kumi na moja kambona ali, “Eh, wase kamafuki ka sina?”

Then, as I reached near the school, I was in form one, then there was another boy in form two, he saw me and asked, "eh, what is the blood for?"

Nandi, “Ta, ka wele kafwana kario.”

I answered, "No, that is how God's plans are."

Oyuno kereba, “Aba yuno khekanjiba mumisimo namwe sinanu?”

He asked himself, "This means this man is answering me in parables or what?"

Kanjeta khasweta namaa neboa khukhinga buchafu kamafuki kenaka neboa.

He offered me his sweater, and I tied myself off to block the blood.

Aba nekhalilikha nola esikuli nalanga bawandase sikila bachile bandekha nandi, “Wase kafwanile kari, ngwile na sendababolela sina sikila nakwa ta.

I tried and reached the school, I called my siblings because they came and left me, and said, "Guys it was like this, I fell and I will not tell them what made me fall."

Maa sa muche mumbangusie nebuli bulai bise fulani ndaba njaka khuumia sana meme mumbile engo, mbumiye.”

Just take me and wipe/clean me, it's fine, at a certain time when the pains persist, carry me home, I got injured."

Mala bandase bali, “Ta, mwana wefwe okhola ori?” Nandi, “Ta ngwile.”

My siblings insisted, "No, our brother, what happened?" I said, "No, I fell."

Bambila khumechi kabechanga esikuli bambangusia bulayi sina, nekhalaka bise karibu bise bibili anje nendi esikuli.

They took me to the water point in school, they wiped me well, I sat almost two hours outside.

Senacha mukilasi ta, naba oli omulwale.

I did not go to class, it was as if I am sick.

Nge nakhoma nacha mukilasi nasila kabisa nabona omwimelesi wa sikuli babene baloma bali khane principal namwe si, omwimelesi bamusecondary aba.

After drying up, I went to class and was so quiet, I saw the school leader who they referred to as the principal or what, the high or secondary school leader.

Kambonela mwitirisia mala kecha ali, “Ewe nakhakhubona nowicha muklasi sai sino, wakhama waena?”

He saw me through the window and came saying, "I have seen you come to class right now, where are you from?"

Nandi, “Tawe, mbele naumiyekho kidogo nakhaba anje ano, mwalimu mbele mbumiye."

I said, "I was injured a little, I was out here, sir I was injured."

Nandi, “Ta, ata onyala walangakho wandase bakhulu bamaa bakhubolela sikila khembumiya sana senyala nakhubolela niko ndimo ta, sikila naloma endalila.”

I said, "You can as well call my elder siblings to explain to you, because I am so much in pain, I cannot be in a good position to explain what I am going through, because if I say, I will cry."

Aba kalangakho wandase mulala kecha.

He called one of my siblings who came.

Kamureba, wandase kajaribu khuwelesia lakini kamubolele ali, “Ta, wandase kakhecha nakwile khwamupangusie lakini sekhamanyile sina sikila nakwile ta.”

He asked him, my brother tried to explain to him that, "my brother has come when he has fallen but we are not sure what made him fall."

Ne khatabu khenakho nikho ndoma ndi, ndi nakho nakharere mumufuko.

And that small book, as we spoke, I had it in my pocket.

Khaba khatitikho sa.

It was very small.

Aasi, ta, kafwana kario, senekhala.

It was like that, I sat.

Nabukula omusale niyo khwekhalakho naye kekhalanga anyuma nandi, “Ta, ndangilekho omusale wase owilwachanga sana mpaka ng’ali baloma bali khaabaokoka, nangilekho ng’ana nangilekho.”

I took a friend who I used to sit with at the back and said, "kindly call for me my friend who preaches, and people say they are getting saved, just call for me please."

Bamulanga. Nandi, “Ta, musale wase nabadilikhe, nekhuli khumanya wele namanyile.

They called him, and I said "My friend I have changed, if it is knowing God, I have known.

Ne nasimile khukosi niko ukholele khumoyo khwase ne ata sima ndi khane obukananga mukanisa sina?"

And I am grateful to everything that you have done to my heart and even grateful that, which church do you go to?"

Ali, “Ta, icha ata engo ekanisa ili sa engo, icha Jumamosi, khubukananga Jumamosi, icha engo.”

He said,"just come at home, the church is at home, we have fellowship on Saturdays, come at home."

Nandi, “Ta semanyile ta ndi umbolela.” Ali, “Ndecha khubukule.” “Nauka aa, nese ndebire ekanisa, oloma sa oli Pende, oloma Musamba, yosi liche sa oli icha engo?”

I said, "I don't know there," He said "I will come and pick you up," "No, I just asked the church, you need just to say Pentecostal, spiritual church, is that difficult for you to say instead I should come to your place."

Omusoleli yuno kaba oli orenga, nandi, “Ta, khano namalile tila nasimile.

This boy looked tensed, I said, "I am done with this book, take it, I am grateful.

Nekhaloi khandi okhambe baadaye lakini khusai chino khumoyo kwase ng’ali kwekangulukhe khumanya wele namanyile.

If there is another, you will give me later, but as for now, my heart is free, if it is knowing God I have known him.

Nasima sana eeh, obolakho ne babandu be bindu bino."

Thank you so much, eeh, you also tell those people of these things."

Kijana oyo keshuka ali, “Tawe ndi nekhakhandi khekhuwe.” Nandi, “Tawe, niko naloma nandi khano ng’ali okhambe baadaye.”

That boy became suspicious, saying, "I have another one." I said,"No, this one you will give me later."

Kabao jirani oyu nio bama muarea ndala kecha ali, “Wase mbone mwekhala mwapa embakha sina sina.”

There a neighbor who they come from the same area with came and said, "Hey, I saw you guys sitting and chatting."

Khane chirani yuno amanyile omusoleli yuno nge bekhala mungo lakini baere sikila lienelio lili ndi lye khurikhirisia.

This neighbor knew this boy, how they live in their home but are afraid because that thing is frightening.

Kijana yuno khwicha khupelelesia esiku nekhawa ta mulomanga chidini sina chibechanga ne kimisamba kimikali kino ocha khane choma ah-ah devil worshipper?

This boy coming to investigate before end of the day, you say which kind of churches that have many traditions, it sounds like a devil worshipper?

Bibyenebyo, bye kamashetani, benamila kamashetani, abenabo, mala ekanisa yino yaba mungo mwaba kijana mwenoyu.

Those ones, guys are devil worshippers, those who worship devils, those ones and this church was in the home of this boy.

Nabolela jirani oyo nandi, “Koo, noli khusibala khuno niko obonanga nekhuloma khuli noli omundu omusecha afwa sisecha.

I told his neighbor that, "Listen, when you are on this world, whatever you see us say, when you are someone as a man, you die as a man.

Soria sikila onaria nowasie, khowira owasie.

You do not fear, because when you fear you will be killing your friend.

Nono nobona likhuwa libi bola sa oli lino libi.

So when you see something wrong, you just point out that this is wrong.

Nono ei nemulobile lakini kumoyo kwase wele kanjekesie, namanyile.

Even if have refused but in my heart God showed me, I know.

Enywenywe jirani wenywe yuno sali mumisamba kimilai ta.

This, your neighbor is not in good spirits.

Ne mala khendoma sendalila, sendakhola ndie ta, nalomile liarurire mukhanwa nali oulila kaulile, nali ne kimisambwa kiabwe kyamubolele, noli wamwene wesi buri bwakhutilile onamubolelakho, noli bali onaba nge ese olabolelakho bandi bosi nobakania bakhacha mumisambo bandu ne babera tawe.”

And I am saying, I won't cry, I won't do that, I said that, it has gotten out of my mouth, if he is to take caution, he has heard if he has their own spirits, they have told him, if you have gathered some fears, you will also tell him, if you will be like me, you will also tell others, cautioning them not to join spirits for people to kill them."

Nono awenao kafwana kario basale base mala aba kijana yuno necha namuaibisha kimisambwa ekio kyacha, kamaroro ka wandase ne kumoyo kwase khubele naba nasima Wele kwanjekesie kamakali mala naona lifwa lieneli.

So, it is like that my friends, and I later came to shame him, those spirits left my brother's dreams and my heart because I had loved God, He showed me a lot and saved me from that death trap.

Namuambia chisoni mala na shetani akhilwe kabisa.

I shamed him and I said satan must fail at all.

Mundu mwenoyu khusai chino nge ndoma sikila sai khesendakho mubisomelo bili angaki omwenoyo sai sino niye ali ata sendoma ta sikila niko bakhola kamakali.

That person, as we speak because I have moved some classes ahead, at the moment he is at, I cannot even say because they do a lot.

Omwene kekhola omwimelesi we kanisa eng’ene yemungo mwabwe, bakhola kimisambwa kyabwe, babukula babana basoleli bakhana nebabaila eyo nebabakhola bindu byabwe, bana bonekha kimirwe, babaloka sina sina.

He pretented to be a leader in that church that is in their home, they do their traditions, they take their small boys and girls, they do their own things on them, they become mad, they bewitch them.

Lakini khwise Wele kambokoa ndi nge fwana ndi sikila nabone ndomanga nge ata omuruki.

But as for me, God saved me, I am who I am, because I realized I do talk like a leader.

Mala sima ndi koo basale base niko ndoma wele khakaulile.

And I am grateful that, my friends whatever I say, let God hear them.

Lwanyinga lwanyinga kheche nduke, ekheche nduke sibala siefwe sino mala ekheche mbaile nibo buwanga buli, ekhabarusie musilima.

Someday, I will come to lead, I will come to rule/lead this, our world and I will come to take you where light is, I will take you out of darkness.

Mala sima ndi mwesi mukhasalile khwime alala khusale mala kamani kase kabe kamabofu mala khole ndiena, mbe kiongozi.

And I am hopeful that, you will also pray for me, we stand together, we pray so I have a lot of energy so that I do what, I become a leader.

Ne khukenakho ese sima nandi murio muno khukwinjikhalilikha, khukhumba kamaru, khukhumba chisura chindai nendoma niulila busa, mukhoya mwalama.

And on that, I say thank you a lot to tolerate me, giving me your ears, giving me your pretty faces, when I talk just feel happy, be blessed.

Nikako busa.

That is all.
