⁶ Yehowa ewo wɔ shi akɛ, kɛ́ wɔkɛ shihilɛ ko ni jaraa kpe, ni wɔbi lɛ ni eye ebua wɔ  koni wɔnyɛ wɔfi shi lɛ, “ebaaje gbɛ” ehã wɔ. (Kanemɔ 1 Korintobii 10:13.) Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ ebaatsɔ efee nakai? Yɛ shihilɛi komɛi amli lɛ, ebaajie naagba lɛ kɛya kwraa.

Satan ji Nyɔŋmɔ henyɛlɔ, ni eteɔ shi ewoɔ Yehowa nɔyeli lɛ. Yɛ Hiob beiaŋ lɛ, Satan wie akɛ: “Nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ní mɔ ko yɔɔ lɛ eŋɔhãa yɛ ewala hewɔ.” Kɛkɛ ni etswa Yehowa mpoa ekɛɛ: “Kpã onine mli, ní ota [Hiob heloo] kɛ ewu he, akɛ ekwaŋo yɛ ohiɛ lo!” (Hiob 2:4, 5) Nɔ ni Satan miitao atsɔɔ ji akɛ, nɔ ni adesai baaná kɛjɛ Nyɔŋmɔ ŋɔɔ lɛ hewɔ amɛsɔmɔɔ lɛ. Be ni ashɛ Satan afɔ̃ kɛjɛ ŋwɛi lɛ, Biblia lɛ wie yɛ ehe akɛ, ‘ekɛ sane fɔ̃ɔ’ Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji ni yeɔ lɛ anɔkwa lɛ anɔ.
