Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, susumɔ ŋmalɛ ni futuɔ mɔ yiŋ ni yɔɔ Mateo 5:3 lɛ he okwɛ, nɔ ni kɛɛ: “Ajɔɔ mumɔ lɛŋ ohiafoi lɛ.” (King James Version) Atsɔɔ shishi akɛ: “Miishɛɛ ji mɛi ni amɛhiɛ yɔɔ amɛmumɔŋ hiamɔ nii anɔ lɛ.” Atsɔɔ bɔfo Paulo ŋaawoo ni atsɔɔ shishi akɛ “nyɛkwɛa jogbaŋŋ yakatswaa” (King James Version) lɛ shishi akɛ: “Nyɛkahaoa yɛ nɔ ko nɔ ko he.” (Filipibii 4:6) Ni bɔfo Yohane wiemɔ ni etsɛ yisɛɛ ni ji “bɔlɛnamɔ akɔnɔ ni mli wa lɛ” (Douay Version) kaneɔ akɛ, “heloo lɛ sɛɛdii lɛ.” (1 Yohane 2:16) Eyɛ faŋŋ akɛ, New World Translation lɛ gbele jeŋ hee shishinumɔ ko naa.
