(Dane. 5:1, 20; Ibr. 3:13, 18, 19) Yihudaa Kawuwaa Ooziyaani otorettiis. (2 Hanidabaa Odiya 26:3-5, 16-21 nabbaba.) Ooziyaani koyro Yihoowa “sinttan suurebaa oottiis,” qassi “Xoossaassi i ammanettidi oottiis.” SHin awu wolqqaa immiday Xoossaa gidikkokka, i “minnido wode otorettiis.” I haray atto beeta maqidasiyan ixaanaa cuwayiyo yarshshuwaa yarshshanawu maliis; hegee Aaroona zare gidida qeesetu xallay oottana bessiyaaba.

I yaatidoogee ayyaanaaban qohettanaadan oottiis. Takkidi, i oottiyoobay qoncciya kiyiis, qassi baassi daro koshshiya maaduwaa demmiis. Nuuni ubbay nagarancha gidiyoogee qoncce.

⁷ Ammanoy baynna asa gidiyoogee nu wozanaa waati muumissiyaakko, Gibxxe aylletettaappe Yihooway kessido Israaˈeelatu hanotaappe akeekoos.

Eti Yihoowan ammanettiyoogaa aggidi, yayyidosonanne Muuse bolli zuuzummidosona. Ubba eti kase aylle gidi deˈido Gibxxe biitti simmanawu koyidosona! Yihooway keehi azzaniis. I, “Ha asai aude gakkanaassi tana karanee?” yaagiis. (Qoo. 14:1-4, 11; Maz. 78:40, 41) He yeletaa wozanay muumido gishshawunne eti ammanettibeenna gishshawu bazzuwan hayqqi wuridosona.

⁸ Nuuni ooratta alamiyaa gelanawu matido ha wodiyan, nu ammanuwaa paacciyaabay gakkees. Nu ammanoy ay keena minokko shaakki erana bessees.

Haattay urqqaa shugissiyoogaadan, Geeshsha Maxaafaa galla galla nabbabiyoogeenne wotti denttidi qoppiyoogee nuuni ubbatoo Yihoowa kushiyan shugo urqqa mala gidanaadan maaddees. Yihooway Israaˈeela kawoti Xoossaa Higgiyaa maxaafaa banttawu duuqqi wottanaadaaninne galla galla nabbabanaadan yootiis. (Zaa. 17:18, 19) Xoossaa Qaalaa nabbabiyoogeenne wotti denttidi qoppiyoogee haggaazuwawu keehi goˈˈiyoogaa kiitettidaageeti akeekidosona. Eti darotoo Ibraawetto Geeshsha Maxaafaappe xaafidosona; qassi mishiraachuwaa yootiyo asatikka Xoossaa Qaalaa nabbabanaadaaninne wotti denttidi qoppanaadan minttettidosona.

11, 12. Yihooway nuuni nuussi koshshiyaagaadan laamettana mala gubaaˈiyaa baggaara waati maaddii? Leemisuwaa yoota.

¹¹ Yihooway ubba asawu koshshiyaabay aybakko eriyo gishshawu, gubaaˈiyaa baggaara nuuni laamettanaadan maaddees. Qommoora abaa beˈido Jiimi issi cimay a  maaddin, ba eeshshay loˈˈanaadan baaxetiyoogaa doommiis. Jiimi hagaadan giis: “Ta hanotaa gishshawu i tana boribeenna woy walassibeenna.

Ishanttinne ayyaanaaban mule shugga erenna ta siiqo machiyaa tana maaddin, zaarettada ayyaanaaban loddan loddan minnaas.

Wurssettan i hagaadan giis: “Taani Yihoowayyo mata dabbo gidabeykke, shin gidaas gaada qoppaas! Otoroy taani keehi koshshiyaabaa akeekennaadaaninne haratu mooruwaa xallaa qoppanaadan oottido gishshawu zilˈˈettays.”—1 Qor. 10:12.

13. Haggaazoy nuussi ay mala eeshshay deˈanaadan maaddii, qassi hegaa goˈˈay aybee?

Waaya xaafana. Ee, haggaazoy nunakka nu shoorotakka keehi maaddees!

14. Yelidaageeti bantta naati laamettanaadan loytti maaddanawu waatana bessii?
