Yɛ yitso ni nyiɛ sɛɛ lɛ mli lɛ, wɔbaasusu shiwoo ni kɔɔ amɛteŋ ni Yehowa baahi ekoŋŋ lɛ he.​—Eze. 47:13-21; 48:1-7, 23-29.

⁵ Kanemɔ Ezekiel 47:14. Yɛ ninaa mli lɛ, Yehowa gbala Ezekiel jwɛŋmɔ kɛtee shikpɔŋ ko ni etsɛŋ ebaatamɔ “Eden abɔɔ” lɛ nɔ. (Eze. 36:35) Kɛkɛ ni Yehowa kɛɛ lɛ akɛ: “Shikpɔŋ nɛɛ ji shikpɔŋ ni okɛbaahã Israel wekui 12 lɛ akɛ amɛgboshinii lɛ.” (Eze. 47:13) “Shikpɔŋ” ni akɛbaahã amɛ lɛ ji Israel shikpɔŋ ni nomii lɛ baaku amɛsɛɛ kɛya nɔ ekoŋŋ lɛ. No sɛɛ lɛ, taakɛ aŋma yɛ Ezekiel 47:15-21 lɛ, Yehowa tsɔɔ amɛ he ni shikpɔŋ muu lɛ fɛɛ husui lɛ baakamɔ lɛ fitsofitso.

⁶ Mɛni hewɔ akɛ ninaa nɛɛ ni kɔɔ shikpɔŋ ni abaajara lɛ he lɛ hã?

(Yes. 66:8) Taakɛ wɔna yɛ wolo nɛɛ Yitso 17 lɛ mli lɛ, mfonirifeemɔŋ shikpɔŋ lɛ ji mfonirifeemɔŋ shihilɛ ko ni yɔɔ  shweshweeshwe ni mɛi ni afɔ amɛ mu lɛ ateŋ mɛi ni eshwɛ lɛ jáa Yehowa yɛ mli kɛjɛ afi 1919 kɛbaa nɛɛ.

9. Mɛɛ gbɛtsɔɔmɔi ni yɔɔ fitsofitso Yehowa kɛhã yɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ jaa he?

⁹ Kanemɔ Ezekiel 48:1, 28. Be ni Yehowa tsɔɔ amɛ shikpɔŋ muu lɛ fɛɛ husui lɛ egbe naa lɛ, etsɔɔ amɛ bɔ ni esa akɛ aja shikpɔŋ lɛ ahã lɛ hu fitsofitso.

¹¹ Mɛni wɔbaanyɛ wɔkase yɛ ninaa nɛɛ mli ŋmɛnɛ ni baanyɛ awaje wɔ?

12, 13. Mɛɛ gbɛtsɔɔmɔi pɔtɛɛ Yehowa kɛhã yɛ bɔ ni esa akɛ aja shikpɔŋ lɛ ahã wekui lɛ he?

¹³ Klɛŋklɛŋ lɛ, shikpɔŋ lɛ. Afã Mose ni ehã wekui ni dara lɛ shikpɔŋ agboiagboi fe wekui ni daraaa lɛ. (4 Mo. 26:52-54) Shi yɛ Ezekiel ninaa lɛ mli lɛ, Yehowa kɛ gbɛtsɔɔmɔi pɔtɛɛ hã akɛ aja shikpɔŋ lɛ “pɛpɛɛpɛ” ahã wekui lɛ fɛɛ.

Yehowa fã lɛ akɛ: “Weku ni gbɔ lɛ bahi mli lɛ, nakai weku lɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ mli nɔŋŋ nyɛjɛa nyɛhãa gbɔ lɛ gboshinii.” Yɛ famɔ nɛɛ naa lɛ, Yehowa jie nɔ ko ni hãa esoroɔ “Israel fɔmɔbii” lɛ kwraa  yɛ gbɔi ni ebahi Israel shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ lɛ ahe lɛ kɛje jɛmɛ.
