Hɛɛ, eko yɛ nakai, ejaakɛ yɛ naagbai ni Samuel, David, kɛ anɔkwafoi krokomɛi kɛkpe lɛ fɛɛ sɛɛ lɛ, amɛmiishɛɛ etãaa.

Yesu le nɔ tuuntu ni hãa mɔ náa miishɛɛ. Dani ebaaba shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ lɛ, Biblia lɛ kɛɛ ‘emii shɛɔ ehe yɛ Yehowa hiɛ be fɛɛ be.’ (Abɛi 8:30) Be ni Yesu ba shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ lɛ, ekɛ naagbai ni mli wala kpe, shi loloolo lɛ, efee e-Tsɛ lɛ suɔmɔnaa nii, ni no hã ená miishɛɛ. (Yoh. 4:34) Yesu na nɔ waa kɛtee gbele mli. Shi yɛ nakai be lɛ mli po diɛŋtsɛ lɛ, Biblia lɛ hãa wɔleɔ akɛ “miishɛɛ ni kã ehiɛ lɛ hewɔ lɛ, edamɔ piŋmɔ ni epiŋ yɛ piŋmɔ tso lɛ nɔ lɛ naa.” (Heb. 12:2) No hewɔ lɛ, ŋwanejee ko bɛ he akɛ, nibii pii yɛ ni wɔbaanyɛ wɔkase yɛ saji ni Yesu wie yɛ nɔ ni hãa mɔ náa miishɛɛ diɛŋtsɛ lɛ he lɛ amli. Nyɛhãa wɔsusua enyɔ he wɔkwɛa.

Be ko lɛ, Yesu tsu ekaselɔi 70 ni amɛyashiɛ. Be ni amɛtee lɛ, amɛnyɛ amɛtsu naakpɛɛ nii, ni amɛfamɔ daimonioi po, ni enɛ hã amɛná miishɛɛ waa. Shi Yesu kɛɛ amɛ akɛ: “Nyɛkanyaa akɛni akɛ mumɔi lɛ woɔ nyɛshishi lɛ hewɔ, moŋ lɛ nyɛnyaa akɛni aŋmala nyɛgbɛ́ii yɛ ŋwɛi lɛ hewɔ.” (Luka 10:1-9, 17, 20) No hewɔ lɛ, Yesu miikɛɛ amɛ akɛ Yehowa suɔmɔnaa nii ni amɛnyɛ amɛfee lɛ he miihia kwraa fe hegbɛ krɛdɛɛ ni amɛná lɛ, ni no ji nɔ titri ni esa akɛ amɛmii ashɛ he.

Be ko hu lɛ, Yesu miishiɛ eehã mɛi babaoo ko. Bɔ ni Yesu tsɔɔ amɛ nii ehãa lɛ ta Yuda yoo ko ni yɔɔ jɛmɛ lɛ tsuiŋ aahu akɛ ejie Yesu mami  yi akɛ eyɛ miishɛɛ. Shi Yesu jaje lɛ. Ekɛɛ akɛ: “Dabi, jeee nakai, moŋ lɛ, mɛi ni nuɔ Nyɔŋmɔ wiemɔ lɛ ni amɛyeɔ nɔ lɛ yɛ miishɛɛ!” (Luka 11:27, 28) Kɛ́ onyɛ otsɔse bi ni ebatsɔ onukpa kpakpa lɛ, onáa miishɛɛ. Shi kɛ́ obo Yehowa toi ni wekukpaa kpakpa hi okɛ lɛ teŋ lɛ, obaaná miishɛɛ ni sɛɛ efooo.

Kɛ́ wɔna akɛ Yehowa yɛ wɔhe miishɛɛ lɛ, ehãa wɔmii shɛɔ wɔhe waa. Kɛ́ naagbai ni wɔkɛkpeɔ yɛ shihilɛ mli lɛ hao wɔ waa po lɛ, loloolo lɛ wɔle akɛ Yehowa yɛ wɔhe miishɛɛ. Enɛ hewɔ kɛ́ wɔnyɛ wɔye Yehowa anɔkwa yɛ shihilɛi ni mli wala amli lɛ, wɔmiishɛɛ lɛ faa kɛtekeɔ nɔ lɛ. (Rom. 5:3-5) Agbɛnɛ hu, Yehowa hãa mɛi fɛɛ ni kɛ amɛhiɛ fɔ̃ɔ enɔ lɛ emumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ, ni yibii ni mumɔ lɛ woɔ lɛ eko ji miishɛɛ. (Gal. 5:22) Ani oona nɔ hewɔ ni Lala 64:10 lɛ kɛɔ akɛ “Jalɔ baanya yɛ Yehowa hewɔ” lɛ?

Ewie akɛ: “Kɛjɛ afi 1998 be ni miná hegbɛ akɛ matsɔɔ nii yɛ Sɔɔmɔ Tsɔsemɔ Skul lɛ mli lɛ, mikase nii waa fe bei fɛɛ ni eho.” Ewie akɛ, akɛni lɛ kɛ eŋa lɛ fɛɛ saa amɛjwɛŋmɔ amɛto akɛ amɛbaatsu nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni Yehowa kɛbaawo amɛdɛŋ akɛ amɛtsu lɛ hewɔ lɛ, be ni ekpa sɔɔmɔ akɛ nɔkwɛlɔ gbɛfalɔ lɛ, efeee naagba tsɔ kɛhãaa amɛ. Ekɛfata he akɛ: “Wɔshwako wɔhe kwraa akɛ wɔtsu nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni wɔbaanyɛ yɛ Yehowa sɔɔmɔ lɛ mli.”
