Shi, ani oyɔse akɛ nilee kɛ hiɛshikamɔ ni mɛi yɔɔ lɛ haaa amɛtsɔmɔ gbɔmɛi ni yɔɔ heshibaa doo? Taakɛ Biblia lɛ kɛɔ lɛ, “nilee haa mɔ wóɔ ehe nɔ.” (1 Korintobii 3:19; 8:1) Shi Yehowa, ni “nilelɔ ji lɛ yɛ tsui mli” lɛ, baa ehe shi hu.

³ Yehowa yɛ krɔŋkrɔŋ. No hewɔ lɛ, henɔwomɔ, ni ji su ní buleɔ mɔ lɛ, eko bɛ emli kwraa. (Marko 7:20-22) Kɛfata he lɛ, kadimɔ nɔ ni gbalɔ Yeremia kɛɛ Yehowa lɛ, akɛ: “Bɔ fɛɛ bɔ ni fee lɛ osusuma [Yehowa diɛŋtsɛ] baakai ni ebaakula shi kwraa yɛ minɔ.” a (Yaafo 3:20) Bo diɛŋtsɛ susumɔ he okwɛ!

⁴ Humifeemɔ ji heshibaa jwɛŋmɔ ni ayɔɔ, kɛ hewoo kɛ henɔwomɔ su ni abɛ kwraa. Akɛni humifeemɔ ji sui lɛ amligbɛ su hewɔ lɛ, ejeɔ kpo yɛ sui ni kadiɔ mɔ, tamɔ mlijɔlɛ, tsuishitoo, kɛ hiɛshikamɔ mli.

Amɛjeee nɔ ni kɛ Yehowa jalɛ mlifu kɛ bɔ ni ekɛ hiɛkpatamɔ hewalɛ tsuɔ nii ehaa lɛ kpãaa gbee. Nɔ ni tamɔɔɔ nakai kwraa lɛ, Yehowa tsɔɔ eheshibaa kɛ mlijɔlɛ lɛ  nɔ ejieɔ ehewalɛ kpele, kɛ ehewalɛ ni ekɛyeɔ ehe nɔ yɛ gbɛ ni eye emuu nɔ lɛ kpo. (Yesaia 42:14) Mɛɛ tsakpãa yɔɔ heshibaa kɛ nilee teŋ? Wolo ko ni wieɔ Biblia mli saji ahe lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: “Yɛ naagbee lɛ, atsɔɔ heshibaa shishi . . . kɛ wiemɔi ni tsɔɔ mɔ ni efeee pɛsɛmkunya, ni eji nilee fɛɛ shishifãa ni he hiaa waa diɛŋtsɛ.” Belɛ, anɔkwa nilee pɛ nyɛŋ ahi shi ni heshibaa fataaa he.

⁵ Maŋtsɛ David lá eha Yehowa akɛ: “Asaŋ okɛ oyiwalaheremɔ tsɛ̃ŋ lɛ eha mi, ni oninejurɔ hiɛ mimli, ni omlihilɛ lɛ eha mitsɔ agbo.” (Lala 18:36) Enɛ tsɔɔ akɛ, Yehowa ba ehe shi kwraa bɔni afee ni enyɛ efee nii eha adesa folo kɛkɛ ní yeee emuu nɛɛ, koni ebu ehe ni eya nɔ ewaje lɛ daa gbi.

⁶ Esa akɛ wɔkadi akɛ srɔtofeemɔ yɛ heshibaa kɛ humifeemɔ mli. Humifeemɔ ji su kpakpa ko ni nɔ bɛ ni esa akɛ adesai anɔkwafoi fɛɛ ajie lɛ kpo. Taakɛ heshibaa ji lɛ, tsakpãa ko yɛ ekɛ nilee teŋ. Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, Abɛi 11:2 lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: “Heshibalɔi moŋ yɔɔ nilee.” Shi, Biblia lɛ ewieee Yehowa he kɔkɔɔkɔ akɛ eji humi. Mɛni hewɔ? Kɛ́ akɛ humifeemɔ tsu nii yɛ Ŋmalɛi lɛ amli lɛ, etsɔɔ bɔ ni mɔ ko hiɛ yɔɔ ehe nɔ yɛ egbɔjɔmɔi ahe yɛ gbɛ ni ja nɔ.

(Marko 10:27; Tito 1:2) Kɛfata he lɛ, ákɛ Ŋwɛi Flooflonyo lɛ, ebɛ mɔ ko mɔ ko shishi. No hewɔ lɛ su ni ji humifeemɔ lɛ kɔɔɔ Yehowa he yɛ gbɛ ko kwraa nɔ.

⁷ Shi kɛlɛ, Yehowa baa ehe shi ni emli jɔ. Etsɔɔ etsuji akɛ mlijɔlɛ he miihia waa kɛha anɔkwa nilee námɔ. E-Wiemɔ lɛ wieɔ  “nilee kpoofeemɔ” he. b (Yakobo 3:13) Susumɔ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ ni Yehowa fee efɔ̃ shi yɛ enɛ gbɛfaŋ lɛ he okwɛ.

⁹ Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, susumɔ sane ko ni sa kadimɔ waa, ni ba yɛ Abraham shihilɛ mli lɛ he okwɛ. Saralɔi etɛ komɛi ba Abraham ŋɔɔ, ni etsɛ́ amɛteŋ mɔ kome akɛ “Yehowa.” Saralɔi nɛɛ ji ŋwɛibɔfoi diɛŋtsɛ, shi amɛteŋ mɔ kome ba yɛ Yehowa gbɛi amli, ni efee nii yɛ E-gbɛi amli. Beni nakai ŋwɛibɔfo lɛ wie ni efee nɔ ko lɛ, etsɔɔ akɛ Yehowa ji mɔ ni wie ni efee nii lɛ. Yehowa tsɔ nɛkɛ gbɛ nɔ ekɛɛ Abraham akɛ E-nu “Sodom kɛ Gomora bolɔmɔ” ni naa wa lɛ. Yehowa jaje akɛ: “Makpeleke shi matee agbɛnɛ, ní mayakwɛ akɛ, bɔ ni bolɔmɔ lɛ ba miŋɔɔ lɛ, amɛfee nakai kwraa lo; ni kɛ jeee nakai hu, ní male.” (1 Mose 18:3, 20, 21) Shi kɛlɛ, Yehowa shɛɛ sane lɛ etsɔɔɔ akɛ Ofe lɛ diɛŋtsɛ ‘baakpeleke shi’ ní ebakwɛ.

¹¹ Yehowa miisumɔ ni ebo adesai ni yeee emuu, ní shweɔ ni amɛtsɔɔ amɛsusumɔi lɛ po toi. Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, beni Yehowa kɛɛ Abraham E-yiŋ ni eto akɛ ebaakpata Sodom kɛ Gomora hiɛ lɛ klɛŋklɛŋ kwraa lɛ, nakai nuu anɔkwafo lɛ hiɛ fee lɛ yaa. Ni Abraham kɛɛ lɛ akɛ: “Enɛ akagbaleo,” ni ekɛfata he akɛ: “Ani shikpɔŋ fɛɛ nɔ kojolɔ lɛ ekojoŋ jalɛ kojomɔ?” Ebi Yehowa akɛ, kɛji aná jalɔi 50 yɛ maŋtiasei lɛ amli lɛ, ani ebaaha amɛye amɛhe lo.

Yɛ Yehowa nɔmimaa lɛ fɛɛ sɛɛ lɛ, Abraham kã he ebi lɛ nii aahu kɛbashi yibɔ lɛ ba shi kwraa kɛbashɛ nyɔŋma. Benɛ ekolɛ no mli lɛ Abraham nuko bɔ ni Yehowa naa mɔ mɔbɔ lɛ shishi jogbaŋŋ kɛmɔko shi. Bɔ fɛɛ bɔ ni eji lɛ, Yehowa kɛ tsuishitoo kɛ heshibaa ŋmɛ enaanyo kɛ etsulɔ Abraham gbɛ koni ejie esusumɔi akpo yɛ nɛkɛ gbɛ nɔ.—1 Mose 18:23-33.

Abraham bayɔse yɛ nakai sanegbaa lɛ nɔŋŋ mli akɛ Yehowa “toɔ tsui.” (2 Mose 34:6) Ekolɛ akɛni Abraham yoo akɛ ebɛ hegbɛ ni ebiɔ saji yɛ Ŋwɛi Flooflonyo lɛ nifeemɔi ahe hewɔ lɛ, ekpa fai shii enyɔ sɔŋŋ akɛ: “[Yehowa, NW] mli akawo la.” (1 Mose 18:30, 32) Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, Yehowa mli wooo la. Eji mɔ ko ni yɔɔ “nilee kpoofeemɔ” lɛɛlɛŋ.
