Ibintu By'Ukuri
I Lisbone “humvikanye urusaku rw’inkuba ihindiye ikuzimu maze hahita hakurikiraho
umutingito ufite imbaraga nyinshi washenye umugabane munini w’uwo mujyi. Mu gihe
cy’iminota igera kuri itandatu, abantu ibihumbi mirongo itandatu barapfuye. Ubwa mbere,
amazi y’inyanja yasubiye inyuma asiga inkengero zumutse maze yongera kugarukana
ubukana afite ubuhagarike bwa metero cumi n’eshanu cyangwa zirenga ku rugero yari
asanzwe ariho.” “Mu bindi bintu bidasanzwe bivugwa ko byabaye i Lisbone muri icyo gihe
cy’akaga, ni ukurigita k’urukuta rushya aho amato yahagararaga, rwarigitiye mu nyanja.
Rwari rwarubakishijwe amabuye y’agaciro kandi rutwara umutungo munini. Abantu benshi
cyane bari bahahungiye kugira ngo bakire, ariko mu kanya gato, rwa rukuta rugari na rwo
rurarindimuka rurarigita, ku buryo nta murambo n’umwe washoboye kureremba hejuru
y’amazi.” 379
Uwo mutingito wahise ukurikirwa no gusenyuka kw’ibigo by’abapadiri n’insengero zose,
hafi y’amazu manini yose ya Leta, ndetse n’umugabane uruta kimwe cya kane cy’amazu
y’abaturage. Mu gihe kijya kugera ku masaha abiri nyuma y’ako kaga, umuriro wadutse mu
duce dutandukanye two muri uwo mujyi. Uwo muriro wari ukaze cyane kandi wamaze hafi
iminsi itatu ku buryo umujyi wose wari umaze kuba umusaka. Uwo mutingito wabaye ku
munsi mukuru, ubwo insengero n’ibigo by’abihaye Imana byari byuzuyemo abantu benshi,
kandi muri bo hashoboye kurokoka bake cyane.” 380 “Ubwoba abantu bari bafite nta wabona
uko abusobanura. Nta muntu wariraga kuko wari umubabaro urengeje kurira. Abantu
birukiraga hirya no hino, bafite ubwoba bwinshi no gutangara, bikubita mu maso no mu gituza
kandi batakamba bikomeye bati: ‘ Tugirire impuhwe! Isi igeze ku iherezo!’ Ababyeyi
bibagiwe abana babo maze birukira hirya no hino bambaye amashapure. Ikibabaje, abantu
benshi birukiraga mu nsengero ngo bahakirire; nyamara guhabwa ukarisitiya no guhobera za
aritari byabaye iby’ubusa kuko yaba amashusho, abapadiri, ndetse n’abaturage bose batikiriye
hamwe.” “Byavuzwe ko umubare w’abapfuye kuri uwo munsi uteye ubwoba waba ugera ku
bihumbi mirongo icyenda.”
Nyuma y’imyaka makumyabiri n’itanu ibyo bibaye, nibwo habonetse ikindi kimenyetso
cyavuzwe n’ubuhanuzi, ari cyo kwijima kw’izuba n’ukwezi. Icyatumye kandi icyo
kimenyetso kirushaho gutangaza, ni uko igihe cyo gusohora kwacyo kwari kwaravuzwe neza.
Mu kiganiro Umukiza yagiranye n’abigishwa be mu musozi wa Elayono, amaze kuvuga
iby’igihe cy’akaga itorero ry’Imana rizanyuramo, (ari yo myaka 1260 y’itoteza ryakozwe
n’ubupapa nyamara akaba yarasezeranye ko icyo gihe cy’umubabaro kizagirwa kigufi),
byatumye avuga ibyagombaga kubanziriza kugaruka kwe, kandi avuga n’igihe ibimenyetso
bya mbere byagombaga kubonekera: “Ariko muri iyo minsi, hanyuma y’uwo mubabaro, izuba
rizijima, n’ukwezi ntikuzava umwezi wako.” 381 Iyo minsi cyangwa imyaka 1260 yarangiye
mu mwaka wa 1798. Itoteza ryasaga n’iryahagaze mu myaka nka makumyabiri n’itanu mbere
y’aho. Nk’uko Kristo yavivuze, nyuma y’iryo toteza izuba ryagombaga kwijima. Ubu
buhanuzi bwasohoye ku wa 19 Gicurasi 1780.
