CHOOZ GUD FRENZ
3. How Jehoyada mi help King Jehoawash fi mek waiz disizhanz?
3 Mek gud disizhanz laik Jehoawash. Wen Jehoawash da-mi wahn lee bwai, ih pa mi ded ahn Jehoyada di hai prees mi rayz ahn op ahn teech ahn bowt Jehoava. Jehoawash mi waiz bikaaz ih mi lisn tu Jehoyada advais. Soh Jehoawash mi disaid fi serv Jehoava, an ih mi aalso help di peepl fi serv Jehoava tu. Pahn tap a dat, Jehoawash mi mek shoar dat dehn fiks op bak Jehoava templ.—2 Chron. 24:1, 2, 4, 13, 14.
4. How wee benifit wen wi lov an obay Jehoava komanment dehn? (Proverbs 2:1, 10-12)
4 If yu payrents er sohnbadi di teech yu fi serv ahn lov Jehoava, den dat da di bes gif dehn kuda eva gi yu. (Reed Proverbs 2:1, 10-12.) b Dehn ga lata wayz how payrents ku chrayn dehn pikni. Noatis how Katya pa mi help shee fi mek gud disizhanz. Evri day fi shee pa wuda taak tu ahn bowt di dayli teks wail ih kehr ahn da skool. Katya seh, “Dehndeh kanvasayshan help mi fi du weh rait wen prablemz kom op joorin di day.” Yu payrents mait set roolz weh bays pahn di Baibl, bot wat if yu feel laik dehndeh roolz noh alow yu fi du tingz weh yu laik? Wat wahn help yu fi lisn tu yu payrents advais? Wahn sista weh naym Anastasia memba wen fi shee payrents wuda tek taim fi eksplayn wai dehn set sertn roolz fi shee. Shee seh, “Dat help mi fi si dat dehn noh mek op roolz fi chrai kanchroal mi. Insted da fi protek mi bikaaz dehn lov mi.”
5. How di disizhanz weh yu mek afek yu payrents ahn Jehoava? (Proverbs 22:6; 23:15, 24, 25)
5 Yu wahn mek yu payrents hapi wen yu lisn tu di advais weh dehn gi yu fahn di Baibl. Bot moa dan dat, yu wahn mek Jehoava hapi ahn yu wahn ga wahn schrang frenship wid ahn. (Reed Proverbs 22:6; 23:15, 24, 25.) c d Yu noh tink dat dehnya da gud reezn wai wi shuda kapi di egzampl weh Jehoawash set wen ih mi smaal?
6. Afta Jehoyada mi ded, hoo Jehoawash mi staat lisn tu, ahn weh mi hapm sayka dat? (2 Chronicles 24:17, 18)
6 Laan fahn Jehoawash bad egzampl. Afta Jehoyada mi ded, Jehoawash mi chooz frenz weh neva inkorij ahn fi du gud tingz. (Reed 2 Chronicles 24:17, 18.) e Jehoawash mi lisn tu di hai ofishal dehn a Jooda weh neva lov Jehoava. Hihn shuda mi stay faar fahn dehn, noh chroo? (Prov. 1:10) Bot insted, ih mi lisn tu fi dehn bad advais. Jehoawash mi eevn kil ih kozn Zekaraiya weh mi-di chrai karek ahn. (2 Chron. 24:20, 21; Mach. 23:35) Weh hihn mi du mi terabl ahn foolish! Jehoawash mi staat owt gud az wahn faytful king, bot den ih mi en op di merda ahn bee wahn apastayt. Ahn laytaraan ih oan servant dehn mi kil ahn. (2 Chron. 24:22-25) If onli Jehoawash mi kantinyu lisn tu Jehoava ahn tu peepl weh mi lov Ahn, ih laif mi wahn bee difrent. Weh wi ku laan fahn dis?
7. Hoo wee shuda pik az frenz? (Koment pahn di picha.)
7 Eena dis kays, Jehoawash egzampl teech wi dat wi need fi chooz gud frenz. If wi ga frenz weh lov Jehoava ahn weh mek hihn hapi, den dehn wahn inkorij wi fi du gud tingz. Wi frenz noh haftu bee di saym ayj az wee. Fi egzampl, Jehoyada mi way oalda da Jehoawash. Tink bowt di frenz weh yu ga, an aks yuself dehnya kweschan: ‘Mai frenz help mi fi ga schranga fayt eena Jehoava? Dehn inkorij mi fi du tingz Jehoava way? Wi taak tugeda bowt Jehoava ahn di Baibl? Dehn rispek Jehoava hai standadz a weh rait ahn weh rang? Mai frenz ga di korij fi karek mi wen Ah rang?ʼ (Prov. 27:5, 6, 17) Yu noh need frenz weh noh lov Jehoava. Bot if dehn lov Jehoava, stay kloas tu dehn kaaz dehn wahn help yu fi liv wahn gud laif!—Prov. 13:20.
8. If wi yooz soashal meedya, weh wi shuda tink bowt?
8 Soashal meedya da wahn gud way fi kamyoonikayt wid wi famili ahn frenz. Bot lata peepl yooz it fi bregin bowt dehnself. Fi egzampl, dehn mait yooz it fi poas pichaz ahn veedyoz a di tingz weh dehn gat, er di tingz weh dehn du. If yu yooz soashal meedya, yu ku aks yuself dehnya kweschanz: ‘Di tingz weh Ai poas inkorij adaz, er Ai jos di chrai mek miself luk gud? Di tingz weh ada peepl poas afek weh Ai du er di way Ai taak er tink?ʼ Brada Nathan Knorr, hoo da-mi wahn memba a di Govanin Badi, mi gi sohn gud advais: “If yu chrai pleez peepl, nobadi wahn hapi. Bot wen yu pleez Jehoava, evribadi weh lov hihn wahn hapi.”
WI MOS KANTINYU BEE HOMBL
9. How Jehoava mi help Yuzaiya? (2 Chronicles 26:5)
9 Mek gud disizhanz laik Yuzaiya. Wen King Yuzaiya mi yong, ih mi hombl. (2 Chronicles 26:1-4.) Ih mi aalso laan fi ga “lata rispek” fi Gaad. Hihn mi liv til ih 68 yaaz oal an ih mi faytful fi moas a ih laif. Jehoava mi bles ahn wahn lat. (Reed 2 Chronicles 26:5.) f King Yuzaiya mi win wahn lata waar gens ih enimi dehn an ih mi mek shoar fi kip Jeroosalem sayf. (2 Chron. 26:6-15) Yuzaiya mosi mi hapi bikaaz a aal di tingz weh Jehoava mi help ahn du.—Eccl. 3:12, 13.
10. Weh mi hapm tu Yuzaiya laytaraan eena laif?
10 Laan fahn Yuzaiya bad egzampl. King Yuzaiya mi don geh yoostu di tel peepl weh fi du. Yu tink hihn mi feel laik ih kuda du eniting weh ih waahn? Wan day, ih mi gaan eena di templ ahn chrai bon insens pahn di alta, eevn doa dis da sohnting weh ih neva ga di atariti fi du. (2 Chron. 26:16-18) Hai Prees Azaraiya mi chrai karek ahn, bot Yuzaiya mi geh beks wid ahn. Sad fi seh, Yuzaiya neva stay faytful ahn Jehoava mi ponish ahn wid leprosi. (2 Chron. 26:19-21) If Yuzaiya mi stay hombl, ih laif wuda mi bee soh moch beta!
11. Weh ku help wi fi stay hombl? (Koment pahn di picha.)
11 Wen Yuzaiya mi geh powaful, hihn mi stap apreeshiayt aal di gud tingz weh Jehoava mi du far ahn. Weh wi ku laan? Wi neva waahn ferget dat eni blesin er privilij weh wi gat kohn fahn Jehoava. Soh insteda boas bowt di tingz weh wi du, wi shuda aalwayz gi di prayz tu Jehoava. Jehoava da di wan weh di help wi eena evriting weh wi du. g (1 Kor. 4:7) Wi need fi bee hombl ahn memba dat wi noh perfek ahn dat wi need karekshan now an agen. Wahn brada weh bowt 60 yaaz oal seh: “Ah laan fi noh bee tu tin-skin er fi beet op miself oava wahn mistayk weh Ah mek. Wen enibadi karek mi fi di sili tingz weh Ah du, Ah chrai fi du beta ahn kantinyu giv Jehoava mi bes.” Wen wi obay Jehoava ahn stay hombl, wi laif wahn bee hapiya.—Prov. 22:4.
KANTINYU GEH FI NOA JEHOAVA BETA
12. Wen Josaiya mi yong, weh aal hihn mi du fi geh fi noa Jehoava beta? (2 Chronicles 34:3)
12 Mek gud disizhanz laik Josaiya. Wen Josaiya da-mi wahn teenayja, hihn mi ga wahn schrang dizaiya fi serv Jehoava. (2 Chronicles 34:1-2). Bot laif neva eezi fi Josaiya. Evribadi mi-di serv faals gaadz, soh Josaiya mi haftu ga korij fi stan op fi Jehoava. Bifoa ih reech 20 yaaz oal, hihn mi geh rid a aala di faals gaad dehn eena Jooda ahn Jeroosalem.—Reed Chronicles 34:3. h
13. If yu dedikayt yu laif tu Jehoava, weh dat meen fi yoo?
13 Eevn if yu yong, yu ku chooz fi serv Jehoava ahn laan bowt ih byootiful kwaliti dehn, jos laik Josaiya. If yu du dis, ih wahn moov yu fi dedikayt yu laif tu Jehoava. Afta dat, how yu wahn liv yu laif? Luke, weh mi geh baptaiz wen ih mi 14 seh: “Now, Ah wahn put Jehoava fers eena mai laif ahn mek ahn hapi.” (Maak 12:30) Jehoava wahn bles yu if yu serv ahn!
14. Gi wahn egzampl a how sohn yong peepl di kapi King Josaiya.
14 If yu yong ahn yu di serv Jehoava, weh kaina chalenjiz mait kom op? Johan, hoo mi geh baptaiz wen ih mi 12, seh dat ih klaasmayt dehn mi presha ahn fi vayp. Johan mi noa dat if ih vayp, dat mi wahn afek ih helt pahn di langa ron ahn damij ih rilayshanship wid Jehoava. Soh dat mi help ahn fi bee schrang ahn noh giv eena tu di presha weh ih mi-di fays. Rachel, hoo mi geh baptaiz wen ih mi 14, tel wi how shee mi bayr op wid chalenjiz da skool. Shee seh: “Ai chrai luk fi tingz weh rimain mi bowt Jehoava ahn di Baibl. Fi egzampl, if wi di laan sohnting bowt hischri, Ah chrai kanek it wid wahn Baibl stoari er prafesi. Er if Ah di taak tu sohnbadi, Ah wuda chrai tink bowt wahn skripcha weh Ah ku shayr wid dehn.” Di chalenjiz weh yoo goh chroo mait bee difrent fahn weh King Josaiya mi gaahn chroo, bot yoo ku stil bee waiz ahn faytful laik hihn. If yu handl dehnya chraiyalz az wahn yong persn rait now, yu wahn ku handl ada chraiyalz eena di fyoocha.
15. Weh mi help Josaiya fi stay faytful tu Jehoava? (2 Chronicles 34: 18-21)
15 Wen King Josaiya da-mi wahn adolt, hihn mi mek ih peepl fiks op Jehoava templ. Joorin da taim, wahn prees mi fain “di buk weh gat een di Laa weh Jehoava mi gi Moaziz.” (2 Chronicles 34:14) Wen di king hyaa weh mi deh eena da buk, hihn mi staat tu mek chaynjiz rait away. (Reed 2 Chronicles 34:18-21.) i Yoo wuda waahn reed di Baibl evriday? If yu don di du dat, how ih di goh? Yu maak dong di vers dehn weh ku help yu? Luke, weh wi mi taak bowt erliya, rait dong di inchrestin points weh ih wuda fain eena ih Baibl reedin. If yoo du sohnting laik dat, yu tink ih ku help yu fi memba di vers dehn ahn di points weh yu laik? Di moa yu lov Gaad Werd, di moa yu wahn waahn serv Jehoava. Den yu wahn bee laik Josaiya ahn mek chaynjiz eena yu laif.
16. Wai Josaiya mi mek wahn seeryos mistayk, ahn weh lesn wi ku laan fahn dat?
16 Laan fahn Josaiya bad egzampl. Wen Josaiya mi bowt 39 yaaz oal, hihn mi chros ihself insteda Jehoava, ahn sayka dat ih en op di ded. (2 Chron. 35:20-25) Weh lesn wi ku laan fahn dis? Noh mata how oal wi er how lang wi di stodi di Baibl, wi haftu kantinyu di aks Jehoava fi gaid wi. Fi du dis, wi need fi aalwayz pray fi mek Jehoava gaid wi, stodi ih werd di Baibl, ahn geh help fahn machoar Kristyanz. Wen wi du dat, ih ku help wi fi noh mek seeryos mistayk ahn wi wahn bee moa hapiya.—Jay. 1:25.
YONG PEEPL—UNU KU GA WAHN HAPI LAIF
17. Weh impoatant lesn wi laan fahn di chree kingz a Jooda?
17 Wen yu yong, yu ga wahn lata tingz weh yu ku du. Jehoawash, Yuzaiya, ahn Josaiya egzampl shoa wi dat yong peepl ku mek waiz disizhanz ahn liv wahn laif weh pleez Jehoava. Stilyet, dehnya chree king egzampl teech wi dat bikaaz wi noh perfek, sohntaim wi mait mek sohn bad disizhanz ahn tingz mait noh aalwayz werk owt gud. Bot if yu laan fahn di gud tingz weh dehn du, ahn chrai noh mek di saym mistayk weh dehn mek, yu wahn ku ga wahn hapi laif.

18 Di Baibl gat een ada egzamplz a yong peepl weh mi chooz fi jraa kloas tu Jehoava. Dehn mi pleez ahn, an dehn laif mi ton owt gud. Dayvid da-mi wan a dehn. Hihn mi chooz fi wership Jehoava ahn laytaraan hihn da-mi wan a Jehoava laayal king. Af koars, hihn mi did mek sohn mistayk, bot Gaad mi stil si ahn az wahn faytful servant.
