Edimana Obufa—Edi Akpan N̄kpọ Adan̄a Didie?

KE OFỤRI nneme esie ye Nicodemus, Jesus ama ọsọn̄ọ etịn̄ nte edimana obufa, m̀mê editọn̄ọ ntak mmana, enen̄erede edi akpan n̄kpọ. Didie ke enye akanam ẹfiọk emi?

Nen̄ede fiọk nte Jesus ọkọsọn̄ọde etịn̄ nte edimana obufa edide ata akpan n̄kpọ ke nneme esie ye Nicodemus. Enye ọkọdọhọ ete: “Ibọhọke owo ekededi ọtọn̄ọ ntak amana, enye ikemeke ndikụt obio ubọn̄ Abasi.” (John 3:3) Ikọ oro “ibọhọke” ye “ikemeke” ẹwụt nte edimana obufa edide akpan n̄kpọ. Yak inọ uwụtn̄kpọ: Edieke owo ọdọhọde ete, “Ibọhọke utịn asiaha, eyo ikemeke ndin̄wan̄a,” ikọ esie ọwọrọ ke ana utịn asiaha man eyo an̄wan̄a. Kpasụk ntre, Jesus ọkọdọhọ ke ana owo ọtọn̄ọ ntak amana man enye okụt Obio Ubọn̄ Abasi.

Ke akpatre, nte n̄kpọ eke ẹdọhọde ke Jesus oyom nditre eyịghe ekededi oro ẹnyenede ẹban̄a n̄kpọ emi, enye ama ọdọhọ ete: “Ana mbufo ẹtọn̄ọ ntak ẹmana.” (John 3:7) Ana in̄wan̄-in̄wan̄ ke Jesus ọdọhọ ke editọn̄ọ ntak mmana edi se ẹyomde—n̄kpọ oro anade owo anam—man enye ekeme “ndidụk obio ubọn̄ Abasi.”—John 3:5.

Sia Jesus akadade edimana obufa nte ata akpan n̄kpọ, mme Christian ẹkpenyene ndikụt ẹte ke n̄kpọ emi enen̄ede an̄wan̄a mmimọ. Ke uwụtn̄kpọ, ndi afo ekere ke Christian ekeme ndimek ke idemesie nditọn̄ọ ntak mmana?
