Yosef ji nyɔŋ yɛ blema; Blessing ji nyɔŋ yɛ afi 2000 afii nɛɛ amli. Shi amɛ fɛɛ lɛ, amɛji gbɔmɛi ni ahɔ̃ɔ amɛ tamɔ ahɔ̃ɔ nibii lɛ; ahã amɛyatsu nii dɛŋdɛŋ amɛhã mɛi ni hé amɛ lɛ ní awooo amɛ nyɔmɔ. Nifeemɔ nɛɛ ji nɔ ko ni etee nɔ afii babaoo.

Ta bafee gbɛ ni yɔɔ mlɛo ni maji pii tsɔɔ nɔ amɛnáa nyɔji. Abɔ amaniɛ akɛ, yɛ ta ko ni Ejipt Maŋtsɛ  Thutmose III lɛ yawuu yɛ Kanaan lɛ mli lɛ, ekɛ mɛi 90,000 ku esɛɛ akɛ gboklɛfoi. Ejiptbii lɛ hã amɛtsu nii akɛ nyɔji, ni amɛtsa jwetrii, amɛmamɔ sɔlemɔtsui, ni amɛgbagbai nujɔi.

Yɛ Roma Nɔyeli lɛ shishi lɛ, tai srɔtoi ni awu lɛ hã amɛná nyɔji babaoo, ni nyɔji ni maji komɛi taoɔ lɛ hewɔ lɛ, amɛwuɔ ta bei komɛi. Akɔntaa ko ni abu lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ, be ni shɛɔ klɛŋklɛŋ afii 100 lɛ, no mli lɛ Roma maŋ lɛ fã kpotoo ji nyɔji. Aye nyɔji ni yɔɔ Ejipt kɛ Roma lɛ babaoo anɔ dɛŋdɛŋ. Akɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, nyɔji ni tsaa jwetrii yɛ Roma lɛ awala sɛɛtsɛlɛ ji aaafee afii 30 pɛ.

Be ni be shwieɔ mli lɛ, nyɔji ahɔ̃ɔmɔ lɛ mli bawo wu. Kɛjɛ afi 1500 afii lɛ amli kɛyashi afi 1800 afii lɛ amli lɛ, Afrikabii ni ahɔ̃ɔ akɛ nyɔji kɛtee Amerika lɛ bafee nitsumɔ ni shika yɔɔ mli fe fɛɛ yɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ fɛɛ. Amaniɛbɔɔ ko ni UNESCO kɛhã lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ, ‘Kɛ́ hooo kwraa lɛ, amɔmɔ hii, yei, kɛ gbekɛbii akpekpei 25 kɛmiimɔ akpekpei 30 ni ahɔ̃ɔ amɛ.’ Amɛteŋ mɛi akpei ohai abɔ gboi be ni akɛ amɛ foɔ Atlantik Ŋshɔ lɛ.

Shi dɔlɛ sane ji akɛ, nyɔji ahɔ̃ɔmɔ jeee blema sane ko ni yɔɔ mɔbɔ kɛkɛ. International Labour Organization lɛ bɔ amaniɛ akɛ, kɛ́ hooo kwraa lɛ, hii, yei, kɛ gbekɛbii aaafee akpekpei 21 kã he amɛmiitsu nii dɛŋdɛŋ akɛ nyɔji, ni nyɔmɔ fioo ko pɛ awoɔ amɛ, loo awooo amɛ nyɔmɔ ko kwraa.

Etamɔ nɔ ni nyɔŋyeli ni tamɔ nɛkɛ lɛ mli miiwo wu waa, eyɛ mli akɛ mla fĩii sɛɛ moŋ.

Akɛni akɛ nyɔji ye dɛŋdɛŋ hewɔ lɛ, amɛteŋ mɛi babaoo wu koni amɛná heyeli. Yɛ klɛŋklɛŋ afii 100 D.Ŋ.B. lɛ, nuu ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Spartacus, ni ekɛ kooloi nɔɔ kɛjieɔ mɛi ahiɛtserɛ lɛ kɛ nyɔji aaafee 100,000 bɔ mɔdɛŋ akɛ amɛbaatse Roma nɔyeli lɛ hiɛ atua, shi amɛyayeee omanye.

 Gbɛ nɔ ni Israelbii lɛ tsɔ amɛshi Ejipt lɛ ji gbɛ ni fe fɛɛ ni nyɔji etsɔ nɔ amɛná heyeli yɛ yinɔsane mli. Eeenyɛ efee akɛ, ahã mɛi akpekpei etɛ—ni ji maŋ muu fɛɛ—ye amɛhe kɛje nyɔŋyeli mli yɛ Ejipt. Hɛɛ, eja jogbaŋŋ akɛ amɛbaaye amɛhe. Biblia lɛ wie shihilɛ mli ni no mli lɛ amɛyɔɔ yɛ Ejipt lɛ he akɛ, akɛ ‘nyɔji ahiɛmɔ shɛii hiɛ amɛ.’ (2 Mose 1:11-14) Farao ko po fã ni agbe gbekɛbii hii fɛɛ ni Israelbii lɛ baafɔ lɛ koni amɛyi akafa.—2 Mose 1:8-22.

Kpɔ̃mɔ ni akpɔ̃ Israelbii lɛ kɛje Ejiptbii lɛ anɔyeli dɛŋdɛŋ lɛ shishi lɛ yɛ srɔto kwraa, ejaakɛ Nyɔŋmɔ diɛŋtsɛ ni kpɔ̃ amɛ. Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ Mose akɛ, ‘Mile amɛnidɔɔnii lɛ. Ni makpleke shi mayajie amɛ.’ (2 Mose 3:7, 8) Kɛbashi ŋmɛnɛ lɛ, Yudafoi ni yɔɔ je lɛŋ fɛɛ lɛ yeɔ Hehoo lɛ daa afi kɛkaiɔ nakai nifeemɔ lɛ.—2 Mose 12:14.

Biblia lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: ‘Yehowa, wɔ-Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ, kutumpɔo bɛ ehe,’ ni ekɛɔ wɔ hu akɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ tsakeko. (2 Kronika 19:7; Maleaki 3:6) Nyɔŋmɔ tsu Yesu kɛba koni ‘ebajaje etsɔɔ nomii lɛ akɛ amɛbaaye amɛhe, ní ehã mɛi ni ekumɔ lɛ aye amɛhe.’ (Luka 4:18) Ani enɛ tsɔɔ akɛ nyɔŋ fɛɛ nyɔŋ baaye ehe? Dabi kwraa. Atsu Yesu ni ebakpɔ̃ mɛi kɛje esha kɛ gbele nyɔŋyeli shishi. Sɛɛ mli lɛ ewie akɛ: “Anɔkwale lɛ baahã nyɛye nyɛhe.” (Yohane 8:32) Ŋmɛnɛ po lɛ, anɔkwale ni Yesu tsɔɔ lɛ hãa mɛi yeɔ amɛhe yɛ gbɛi srɔtoi anɔ.—Kwɛmɔ akrabatsa ni yitso ji, “ Heyeli Kɛmiije Nyɔŋyeli Kroko Shishi” lɛ.

Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ tsɔ gbɛi srɔtoi anɔ eye ebua Yosef kɛ Blessing ni amɛye amɛhe kɛje nyɔŋyeli shishi. Obaanyɛ ona Yosef he sane ni yɔɔ miishɛɛ waa lɛ yɛ Mose Klɛŋklɛŋ Wolo lɛ yitso 39 kɛyashi yitso 41 lɛ. Nakai nɔŋŋ hu gbɛ nɔ ni Blessing tsɔ eye ehe lɛ yɛ miishɛɛ waa.

Be ni ashwie Blessing kɛjɛ Europe maŋ ko nɔ lɛ, etee Spain. Be ni eyɔɔ jɛmɛ lɛ, ekɛ Yehowa Odasefoi lɛ kpe, ni ekɛ amɛ bɔi Biblia lɛ kasemɔ. Akɛni eesumɔ ni etsake ejeŋba hewɔ lɛ, eyatao nitsumɔ kroko, ni ekɛ etsutsu nuŋtsɔ lɛ wie koni etse shika ni ewoɔ daa nyɔɔŋ lɛ nɔ fioo ehã lɛ. Gbi ko lɛ, Blessing tsutsu nuŋtsɔ lɛ tswa lɛ. No mli lɛ, eetao ni efo nyɔmɔ ni Blessing woɔ lɛ mli, koni ekpa lɛ fai ni ekɛ ehe eshai ake lɛ. Mɛni hewɔ etswa lɛ lɛ? Lɛ hu Yehowa Odasefoi lɛ kɛ lɛ ebɔi Biblia lɛ kasemɔ! Blessing kɛɛ akɛ: “Anɔkwale lɛ hãa oyeɔ ohe yɛ gbɛi ni yɔɔ naakpɛɛ waa nɔ.”

Be ni aye Israelbii lɛ anɔ dɛŋdɛŋ akɛ nyɔji yɛ Ejipt lɛ, edɔ Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ waa; ekã shi faŋŋ akɛ nakai nɔŋŋ enuɔ he yɛ efɔŋ ni afeɔ mɛi ŋmɛnɛ lɛ he.
