Beni aje osɔfonukpayeli lɛ shishi lɛ, no mli lɛ osɔfonukpa weku lɛ mli ajɛɔ awoɔ osɔfonukpa, ni mɔ lɛ yeɔ osɔfonukpa kɛyashiɔ egboɔ. Shi yɛ afi 100 D.Ŋ.B. afii lɛ amli lɛ, Hasmonbii lɛ fite osɔfonukpayeli gbɛjianɔtoo lɛ. * Sɛɛ mli lɛ, ebafee faŋŋ akɛ Herode Kpeteŋkpele lɛ ji mɔ ni halaa osɔfonukpai, ejaakɛ lɛ ebɔi osɔfonukpai ahalamɔ, ni lɛ nɔŋŋ ekpaa amɛ. Roma amraloi lɛ hu fee nɔ ko ni tamɔ nakai nɔŋŋ.

Tsakemɔi ni tee nɔ lɛ ha atse kuu ni Ŋmalɛi lɛ wieɔ emlibii lɛ ahe akɛ “osɔfonukpai” lɛ. (Mateo 26:3, 4) Yɛ Kaiafa sɛɛ lɛ, ayɛ tsutsu osɔfonukpai komɛi yɛ nakai kuu lɛ mli, ni amɛteŋ mɔ kome ji Hana, mɔ ni eyɛ mli akɛ akpa lɛ osɔfonukpayeli moŋ, shi atee nɔ akɛ nakai sabala lɛ tsɛ́ lɛ lɛ. No mli lɛ, osɔfonukpa ni yɔɔ lɛ wekumɛi kɛ tsutsu osɔfonukpai lɛ hu awekumɛi yɛ kuu lɛ mli.

Romabii lɛ ŋmɛ Yudafoi ahiɛnyiɛlɔi ní osɔfonukpai lɛ hu fata he lɛ gbɛ ni amɛkwɛ Yudea maŋ lɛ nɔ. Enɛ ha Roma nɔyeli lɛ nyɛ ekwɛ maŋ lɛ nɔ, ni awo too hu aha nɔyeli lɛ ní ehe eyahiaaa ni atsu asraafoi babaoo kɛya jɛmɛ kɛha nibii nɛɛ ahe nitsumɔ.

Yɛ Kaiafa beaŋ lɛ, no mli lɛ osɔfonukpa lɛ ji Yudafoi lɛ amaŋkwramɔŋ hiɛnyiɛlɔ. Yɛ afi 6 Ŋ.B. loo afi 7 Ŋ.B. lɛ, Kirenio ni ji Roma amralo ni kwɛɔ Syria nɔ lɛ hala Hana akɛ osɔfonukpa. Rabifoi ablema saji tsɔɔ akɛ wekui ni Yudafoi ahiɛnyiɛlɔi lɛ jɛ mli lɛ ahiɛ kɔ̃ɔ nii anɔ, ni amɛwekumɛi pɛ amɛhaa amɛ hegbɛi wuji, ni amɛnyɛɔ mɛi anɔ hu yɛ nitsumɔ mli, ni asaŋ amɛyitseiaŋ wala. Woloŋmalɔ ko tsɔɔ mli akɛ, ákɛ osɔfonukpa lɛ, Hana baakwɛ koni eshabi lɛ “aná onukpayeli gbɛhe yɛ sɔlemɔwe lɛ; ejaakɛ kɛ́ Kaiafa ná hegbɛ wulu lɛ, ehe baaba sɛɛnamɔ babaoo eha Hana.”

Aaafee afi 15 Ŋ.B. ni Valerius Gratus ni ji Yudea amralo lɛ kpa Hana osɔfonukpayeli. Mɛi etɛ ní Hana binuu ko fata he baye osɔfonukpa yɛ bei srɔtoi amli, shi amɛteŋ mɔ ko yeee osɔfonukpa ni ebaatsɛ.

Eyɛ mli akɛ afii abɔ ni Yesu kɛtsu esɔɔmɔ nitsumɔ lɛ, kɛ be ni ekaselɔi lɛ hu je shiɛmɔ shishi lɛ, no mli fɛɛ lɛ, Kaiafa miiye osɔfonukpa moŋ, shi Kaiafa náaa Kristofoi lɛ ashɛɛ sane lɛ he miishɛɛ.

Kaiafa bu Yesu akɛ eji mɔ ko ni téɔ naagba shi, ní he yɔɔ gbeyei. Yesu ha osɔfonukpa lɛ ná le akɛ bɔ ni etsɔɔ Hejɔɔmɔ gbi lɛ he mlai lɛ ashishi ehaa lɛ ejaaa, kɛkɛ ni eshwie jarayelɔi kɛ shika tsakelɔi lɛ kɛjɛ sɔlemɔwe lɛ, ni ejaje akɛ amɛŋɔ jɛmɛ amɛfee “ojotswalɔi abu.” (Luka 19:45, 46) Yinɔsaneŋmalɔi komɛi heɔ amɛyeɔ akɛ Hana kɛ eweku lɛ ji mɛi ni wo jarayelɔi ni yɔɔ sɔlemɔwe lɛ jara—ni ekolɛ no hewɔ ni Kaiafa bɔ mɔdɛŋ koni etswa Yesu naa ma lɛ. Beni osɔfonukpa lɛ tsu tsuji koni amɛyamɔ Yesu lɛ, bɔ ni Yesu wieɔ lɛ ha amɛnaa kpɛ amɛhe aahu akɛ amɛku amɛsɛɛ amɛtee kɛ amɛwaobii nyɔŋma.—Yohane 2:13-17; 5:1-16; 7:14-49.

Susumɔ nɔ ni tee nɔ beni Yudafoi ahiɛnyiɛlɔi lɛ nu he akɛ Yesu etée Lazaro shi lɛ he okwɛ. Yohane Sanekpakpa lɛ bɔɔ amaniɛ akɛ: “Osɔfonukpai lɛ kɛ Farisifoi lɛ tsɛ́ kpee [Akuashɔŋ lɛ, NW], ni amɛkɛɛ: Te wɔfeɔ tɛŋŋ? shi nuu nɛɛ miifee okadii  srɔtoi pii.

Eyɛ mli akɛ Kaiafa ejeee he ŋwane akɛ Yesu tsu hewalɛ nitsumɔi moŋ, shi enáaa emli hemɔkɛyeli, yɛ no najiaŋ moŋ lɛ, ebɔ mɔdɛŋ koni ebu hegbɛ ni eyɔɔ lɛ he ni ekaje edɛŋ. Ani ekpɛlɛ Lazaro shitee lɛ nɔ? Ákɛ Sadukifonyo lɛ, Kaiafa heee gbohiiashitee eyeee!—Bɔfoi lɛ Asaji 23:8.

Ekɛɛ amɛ akɛ: “Nyɛjwɛŋŋ hu akɛ ehi ha wɔ akɛ mɔ kome agbo yɛ maŋ lɛ najiaŋ, fe nɔ ni maŋbii lɛ fɛɛ hiɛ aaakpãtã lɛ.” Amaniɛbɔɔ lɛ tsa nɔ akɛ: “Shi enɛ lɛ, jeee lɛ diɛŋtsɛ eto eyiŋ ewie; shi moŋ, ejaakɛ osɔfonukpa ji lɛ yɛ nakai afi lɛ nɔ hewɔ lɛ, gba egba akɛ Yesu baagbo yɛ maŋ lɛ najiaŋ; ni jeee yɛ maŋ lɛ kɛkɛ najiaŋ hewɔŋ, shi beni afee ni ebua Nyɔŋmɔ bii ni egbɛ eshwã lɛ hu naa efee ekome. Ni kɛjɛ nakai gbi lɛ nɔ lɛ amɛkpɛ amɛyiŋ akɛ amɛbaagbe [Yesu] lɛ.”—Yohane 11:49-53.

Amaniɛbɔɔ lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: ‘Ni osɔfonukpai lɛ kpɛ amɛyiŋ akɛ, amɛaagbe Lazaro hu; ejaakɛ ehewɔ lɛ Yudafoi lɛ ateŋ mɛi pii miihe Yesu nɔ amɛmiiye.’—Yohane 12:10, 11.
