DI MISTEK DƐN WE PITA BIN DE MEK ƐN DI BLƐSIN DƐN WE I BIN GƐT
4. Akɔdin to Lyuk 5:5-10, wetin Pita bin se bɔt insɛf? Aw Jizɔs bin ɛnkɔrej am?
4 Di Baybul nɔ tɔk bɔt wetin mek Pita bin tɔk se in na “man we de sin” ɔ us sin dɛn i bin de tink bɔt. (Rid Lyuk 5:5-10.) Bɔt sɔntɛm, i bin dɔn mek siriɔs mistek dɛn. Jizɔs bin no se Pita de fred, sɔntɛm na bikɔs Pita bin fil se i nɔ fit fɔ de nia Jizɔs. Bɔt Jizɔs bin no bak se Pita go ebul fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ fetful. So Jizɔs bin tɔk to Pita fayn ɛn tɛl am mek i “lɛf fɔ fred.” Di kɔnfidɛns we Jizɔs bin gɛt pan Pita bin chenj Pita in layf. Pita ɛn in brɔda Andru bin leta lɛf dɛn fishin wok ɛn jɔyn Jizɔs fɔ du di prichin wok. Dɔn Jiova bin blɛs dɛn bɔku we dɛn.—Mak 1:16-18.
5. Us blɛsin dɛn Pita bin gɛt we i lɛf fɔ fred ɛn gri fɔ fala Jizɔs?
5 Pita bin gɛt bɔku wɔndaful ɛkspiriɛns dɛn we i bin de fala Krays. I bin si we Jizɔs de mɛn pipul dɛn we sik, pul dimɔn dɛn, ɛn ivin gi layf bak to di wan dɛn we bin dɔn day. b (Mat. 8:14-17; Mak 5:37, 41, 42) Pita bin si bak wan vishɔn we sho aw Jizɔs go bi Kiŋ na Gɔd in Kiŋdɔm. Pita nɔ bin ɛva fɔgɛt da vishɔn de. (Mak 9:1-8; 2 Pit. 1:16-18) Fɔ tru, Pita bin si tin dɛn we i nɔ bin de ɛva ɛkspɛkt. I go bi se Pita bin rili gladi bikɔs i nɔ alaw di bad we aw i bin de fil bɔt insɛf fɔ mek i nɔ gɛt dɛn blɛsin dɛn de!
6. Fɔ se na wantɛm wantɛm Pita bin lɛf fɔ de mek mistek dɛn? Ɛksplen.
6 Pan ɔl di tin dɛn we Pita bin si ɛn yɛri, i bin stil de mek mistek dɛn. Tink bɔt sɔm ɛgzampul dɛn. We Jizɔs bin de ɛksplen bɔt aw i go sɔfa ɛn day fɔ mek wetin di Baybul tɔk kam tru, Pita bin tɛl Jizɔs se dat nɔ go apin to am. (Mak 8:31-33) Bɔku tɛm, Pita ɛn di ɔda apɔsul dɛn bin de agyu bɔt udat impɔtant pas dɛn ɔl. (Mak 9:33, 34) Di nɛt bifo Jizɔs day, Pita bin atak wan man ɛn kɔt in yes. (Jɔn 18:10) Da sem nɛt de, Pita bin fred ɛn tri tɛm i dinay se i nɔ sabi in padi Jizɔs. (Mak 14:66-72) Dat bin mek Pita kray bita bita wan.—Mat. 26:75.
7. Afta Jizɔs gɛt layf bak, us chans i bin gi Pita?
7 Jizɔs nɔ bin giv-ɔp pan in apɔsul we bin gɛt pwɛlat. Afta Jizɔs gɛt layf bak, i bin gi Pita di chans fɔ mek Pita sho se i stil lɛk am. Jizɔs bin tɛl Pita fɔ mɛn in ship dɛn. (Jɔn 21:15-17) Pita bin rɛdi fɔ du wetin Jizɔs tɛl am fɔ du. I bin de na Jerusɛlɛm di de fɔ Pɛntikɔst, ɛn in na wan pan di fɔs pipul dɛn we Gɔd bin anɔynt wit oli spirit.
8. Us siriɔs mistek Pita bin mek na Antiɔk?
8 Ivin afta we Gɔd bin dɔn anɔynt Pita wit oli spirit, i bin stil de mek mistek dɛn. Insay di ia 36 afta Krays, Pita bin de we Gɔd bin anɔynt Kɔnilyɔs we nɔto bin Ju wit oli spirit. Dis na bin klia pruf fɔ sho se “Gɔd nɔ de tek wan pɔsin bɛtɛ pas ɔda pɔsin” ɛn pipul dɛn we nɔto Ju kin bi pat pan di Kristian kɔngrigeshɔn. (Akt 10:34, 44, 45) Afta dat, Pita bin fil fri fɔ it wit ɔda pipul dɛn we nɔto Ju, ɛn dis na sɔntin we i nɔ bin fɔ dɔn ɛva du bifo dis tɛm. (Gal. 2:12) Bɔt, sɔm Ju Kristian dɛn bin fil se di wan dɛn we na Ju ɛn di wan dɛn we nɔto Ju nɔ fɔ it togɛda. We sɔm pipul dɛn we bin de tink da sem we de kam na Antiɔk, Pita bin stɔp fɔ it wit in brɔda dɛn we nɔto Ju, sɔntɛm i bin de fred se di Kristian dɛn we na Ju go vɛks. Apɔsul Pɔl bin si wetin Pita bin du, ɛn i kɔrɛkt am bifo ɔda pipul dɛn. (Gal. 2:13, 14) Pan ɔl we Pita bin mek dis mistek, i nɔ bin giv-ɔp. Wetin bin ɛp am?
WETIN BIN ƐP PITA FƆ MEK I NƆ GIV-ƆP?
9. Aw Jɔn 6:68, 69 sho se Pita na pɔsin we nɔ de kɔmɔt biɛn ɔda pɔsin?
9 Pita na bin pɔsin we nɔ de kɔmɔt biɛn ɔda pɔsin, i nɔ bin alaw ɛnitin fɔ stɔp am fɔ mek i nɔ kɔntinyu fɔ de biɛn Jizɔs. Wantɛm, i bin sho se in na pɔsin we nɔ de kɔmɔt biɛn ɔda pɔsin we Jizɔs tɔk sɔntin we in disaypul dɛn nɔ bin ɔndastand. (Rid Jɔn 6:68, 69.) Bikɔs bɔku pipul dɛn nɔ wet fɔ mek Jizɔs ɛksplen wetin i min, dɛn bin stɔp fɔ fala am. Bɔt Pita nɔ bin du dat. I bin sho se in na pɔsin we nɔ de kɔmɔt biɛn ɔda pɔsin ɛn tɔk se na Jizɔs nɔmɔ de tɔk tin dɛn we “go mek pɔsin gɛt layf we go de sote go.”
10. Aw Jizɔs bin sho se i biliv Pita? (Luk bak di pikchɔ.)
10 Jizɔs nɔ bin lɛf Pita. Di las nɛt we Jizɔs bin de na dis wɔl, i bin no se Pita ɛn di ɔda apɔsul dɛn go lɛf am. Bɔt pan ɔl dat, Jizɔs bin sho se i biliv se Pita go kam bak ɛn kɔntinyu fɔ bi pɔsin we fetful. (Lyuk 22:31, 32) Jizɔs bin ɔndastand se “di spirit kin rili want fɔ du sɔntin, bɔt di bɔdi wik.” (Mak 14:38) So, Jizɔs nɔ bin giv-ɔp pan in apɔsul ivin afta Pita dinay se i nɔ sabi am. We Jizɔs bin gɛt layf bak, i bin apia to Pita, ɛn i go mɔs bi se na Pita in wan bin de da tɛm de. (Mak 16:7; Lyuk 24:34; 1 Kɔr. 15:5) Dat go dɔn rili ɛnkɔrej Pita we in at bin pwɛl bikɔs ɔf wetin i dɔn du!
11. Aw Jizɔs bin mek Pita biliv se Jiova go sɔpɔt am?
11 Jizɔs bin mek Pita biliv se Jiova go sɔpɔt am. We Jizɔs bin gɛt layf bak, i bin pafɔm wan ɔda mirekul bay we i mek Pita ɛn in kɔmpin apɔsul dɛn kech bɔku fish. (Jɔn 21:4-6) Wan dawt nɔ de se dis mirekul bin mek Pita biliv se Jiova go ebul gi am di tin dɛn we i nid. Sɔntɛm, di apɔsul go dɔn mɛmba di wɔd dɛn we Jizɔs bin tɔk we i se Jiova go gi di wan dɛn we de ‘put di Kiŋdɔm fɔs’ di tin dɛn we dɛn nid. (Mat. 6:33) Ɔl dis bin ɛp Pita fɔ mek i lɛf in fishin wok ɛn put di prichin wok fɔs na in layf. I bin gɛt maynd fɔ prich di de fɔ Pɛntikɔst 33 afta Krays ɛn ɛp bɔku pipul dɛn fɔ lisin to di gud nyuz. (Akt 2:14, 37-41) Afta dat, i bin ɛp di Samɛritan dɛn ɛn di pipul dɛn we nɔto Ju fɔ lan bɔt Krays ɛn fala am. (Akt 8:14-17; 10:44-48) Fɔ tru, Jiova bin rili yuz Pita fɔ mek ɔlkayn pipul dɛn kam na di kɔngrigeshɔn.
WETIN WI LAN?
12. Aw Pita in ɛgzampul go ɛp wi if wi de tray tranga wan fɔ lɛf fɔ mek wan patikyula mistek?
12 Jiova kin ɛp wi bak fɔ mek wi nɔ giv-ɔp. Sɔntɛm i nɔ go izi fɔ mek wi du dat, mɔ if wi dɔn de mek di sem mistek fɔ lɔng tɛm. Sɔntɛnde, i kin tan lɛk se di mistek dɛn we wi kin mek pas di wan we Pita bin de mek. Bɔt Jiova go ɛp wi fɔ mek wi nɔ giv-ɔp. (Sam 94:17-19) Fɔ ɛgzampul, wan brɔda bin de pan omo layf fɔ lɔng tɛm bifo i lan di trut. I bin gɛt fɔ chenj in layf ɛn aplay di tin dɛn we i de lan na di Baybul. Bɔt stil, sɔntɛnde i kin fil fɔ du di rɔng tin. Wetin bin ɛp am fɔ mek i nɔ giv-ɔp? I tɔk se: “Na Jiova de ɛp mi.” I tɔk bak se: “Wit Jiova in spirit . . . , a dɔn lan se i pɔsibul fɔ mek a [kɔntinyu] fɔ liv mi layf di we aw Jiova want . . . Jiova dɔn ebul fɔ yuz mi pan ɔl we a nɔ pafɛkt, ɛn i de ɛp mi ɔltɛm.”
13. Aw wi go falamakata Pita in ɛgzampul we de na Akt 4:13, 29, 31? (Luk bak di pikchɔ.)
13 As wi bin dɔn lan, nɔto wan tɛm nɔmɔ Pita bin mek siriɔs mistek dɛn bikɔs i bin de fred mɔtalman. Bɔt we i bin pre fɔ mek i gɛt maynd, i bin ebul gɛt maynd fɔ du tin dɛn. (Rid Akt 4:13, 29, 31.)

Jizɔs bin dɔn beg Jiova fɔ mek Pita nɔ lɛf fɔ gɛt fet. Jizɔs bin tɛl Pita bɔt da prea de ɛn i bin sho am se i biliv se Pita go ebul fɔ ɛnkɔrej in brɔda dɛn leta. (Lyuk 22:31, 32) Pita go mɔs dɔn gɛt kɔrej we i mɛmba wetin Jizɔs bin tɔk. We wi gɛt impɔtant tin dɛn fɔ disayd, Jiova kin yuz shɛpad dɛn we de kia fɔ wi fɔ gi wi di kɔnfidɛns we wi nid fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ bi pɔsin we fetful.
