4. Mɛni hewɔ Habel nyɛ efee nibii kpakpai ni baaba wɔsɛɛ lɛ ahe mfoniri lɛ?
4 Habel ji klɛŋklɛŋ adesa ni ná hemɔkɛyeli yɛ Yehowa shiwoi amli. No mli lɛ, Habel le akɛ, be ni Adam kɛ Hawa tɔ̃ lɛ, Yehowa kɛɛ onufu lɛ akɛ: “Mikɛ nyɛɛ aaaŋmɛ okɛ yoo lɛ teŋ, kɛ oseshi kɛ eseshi teŋ; eeetswa oyitso nɔ, ni bo hu oootswa enanetsitsi nɔ.” (1 Mose 3:14, 15) Shi eleee gbɛ pɔtɛɛ ni Nyɔŋmɔ baatsɔ nɔ etsu nɔ ni ewie lɛ he nii. Ekã shi faŋŋ akɛ, esusu nɔ ni Nyɔŋmɔ wie lɛ he. Eeenyɛ efee akɛ Habel bi ehe akɛ, ‘Namɔ ji mɔ ni onufu lɛ baapila, ní baaye abua adesai koni amɛye emuu ekoŋŋ lɛ?’ Habel ná hemɔkɛyeli akɛ, nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni Yehowa ewo he shi lɛ baaba mli.

Abraham kɛ Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji anɔkwafoi krokomɛi fee nibii ni Yehowa ewo he shi lɛ ahe mfoniri, eyɛ mli akɛ nibii nɛɛ baaa mli yɛ amɛwala beiaŋ. Biblia lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: “Amɛna [shiwoi lɛ amlibaa lɛ] yɛ shɔŋŋ ni amɛkɛ miishɛɛ kpɛlɛ nɔ.” (Kanemɔ Hebribii 11:8-13.) Abraham le akɛ, Yehowa yeɔ eshiwoi anɔ be fɛɛ be, no hewɔ lɛ, ená nɔmimaa akɛ nibii fɛɛ ni Yehowa ewo he shi akɛ ebaafee wɔsɛɛ lɛ baaba mli.

9 Abraham he Yehowa shiwoi lɛ eye, no hewɔ lɛ, efee nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni Yehowa kɛɛ lɛ akɛ efee lɛ. Akɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, eshi Ur maŋtiase lɛ, he ni eshĩa yɔɔ lɛ, ni ewala gbii abɔ fɛɛ lɛ, ehiii maŋ ko mli etsɛɛɛ. Efee nakai, ejaakɛ ele akɛ maji ni bɔle lɛ lɛ fɛɛ anɔyelɔi lɛ sɔmɔɔɔ Yehowa, ni no hewɔ lɛ, amɛhiŋ shi kɛyaŋ naanɔ. (Yoshua 24:2) Moŋ lɛ, ekwɛ be ni Nyɔŋmɔ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ baaye shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ kɛya naanɔ lɛ gbɛ. Maŋtsɛyeli nɛɛ ji “maŋ ni yɔɔ faneshii diɛŋtsɛ ní ehe ŋaatolɔ kɛ emalɔ ji Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ.” (Hebribii 11:10) Habel, Henok, Noa, Abraham, kɛ Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji anɔkwafoi krokomɛi he gbohiiashitee lɛ amɛye. Be fɛɛ be ni anɔkwafoi nɛɛ baasusu bɔ ni shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ baafee fɛo ní amɛhi nɔ kɛya naanɔ lɛ he lɛ, ehãa hemɔkɛyeli ni amɛyɔɔ yɛ Yehowa mli lɛ mli waa.
10. Mɛni hewɔ ehi akɛ Sara kpa nibii ni baaba wɔsɛɛ lɛ gbɛ lɛ?
10 Abraham ŋa Sara, ná hemɔkɛyeli ni mli wa yɛ Yehowa shiwoi amli. Yehowa kɛɛ Abraham akɛ: “Majɔɔ [Sara], ni maŋɔ binuu hu kɛaajɛ emli mahão; ni majɔɔ lɛ, ni eeetsɔ jeŋmaji anyɛ, ni maji anɔ maŋtsɛmɛi aaajɛ emli aba.” (1 Mose 17:16) Shiwoo nɛɛ hewɔ lɛ, be ni Sara ye afii 90 ni loloolo lɛ ebɛ bi po lɛ, ená nɔmimaa akɛ wɔsɛɛ ko lɛ, ebaafɔ. Eeenyɛ efee po akɛ, Sara fee ebii lɛ ahe mfoniri akɛ amɛbatsɔ maŋ wulu. (Hebribii 11:11, 12) Yehowa shiwoo lɛ ba mli, ni Sara fɔ Isak. Naakpɛɛ nii ni Yehowa fee nɛɛ hã Sara ná nɔmimaa akɛ, Yehowa shiwoi ni eshwɛ lɛ hu baaba mli.
