Kpa ye oro ndudue ọdọn̄ọde ke Bible emi, mme owo mîsinyụn̄ iwakke nditịn̄ aba ikọ nte ẹwetde ke Bible emi, iwakke ufọk emi mînyeneke Bible ke Madagascar, ndien ediwak mmọ ẹsikot enye kpukpru ini. N̄wọrọnda n̄kpọ kiet emi odude ke Bible emi edi ke enyịn̄ Abasi, Jehovah, odu ke ofụri N̄wed Abasi Usem Hebrew. Enyịn̄ Abasi odu n̄ko ke akpa N̄wed Abasi Usem Greek oro ẹkebemde iso ẹsio ke Madagascar. Emi anam ata ediwak mbon Madagascar ẹdiọn̄ọ ke Abasi ekere Jehovah.
Inemesịt oro mbon Madagascar ẹkekopde ke ini ẹkesiode akpa N̄wed Abasi Usem Greek, ama anam Ete Baker emi ekemịn̄de Bible emi ọdọhọ ete: “Idịghe nte ntịn̄ ntịn̄nnịm ikọ, n̄kereke ke owo ndomokiet eyekeme ndisio Bible ke idụt emi mfep!” Se enye eketịn̄de edi akpanikọ. Koro udọn̄ọ utoenyịn, nte ọkọsọn̄de ndikpep usem idụt oro, ọkọrọ ye afanikọn̄ oro ukara ẹkesịnde ikekemeke ndinam ẹtre ndisio Bible ke Madagascar.
Edi n̄kpọ ọfọn idahaemi akan akpa. Ntak idọhọde ntre? Ke 2008, ẹma ẹsio ofụri New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures ke usem Malagasy. Bible emi enen̄ede enem koro ẹda ikọ emi ediwak owo ẹdiọn̄ọde ẹnyụn̄ ẹkemede ndikot, ẹkabade enye. Idahaemi, iwakke ebiet emi Bible mîdụhe ke Akamba Ndatndat Isuo emi.—Isa. 40:8.
