(2 Timoteo 3:1-5) Akɛni nakai eji hewɔ lɛ, nyɛhaa wɔkwɛa bɔ ni Toobi, Yesu Kristo, tseɔ wolo lɛ naasoɔmɔ ni ji enumɔ lɛ naa lɛ jogbaŋŋ. Mɛɛ kpojiemɔ kroko agbɛnɛ wɔbaana mli gbafaŋnɔ lɛ?

Ani afɔleshaa latɛ yɛ ŋwɛi? Hɛɛ! Enɛ ji klɛŋklɛŋ be mli ni Yohane etsi afɔleshaa latɛ ta. Shi etsɔ hiɛ etsɔɔ akɛ Yehowa ta E-maŋtsɛsɛi nɔ, kerubim ebɔle lɛ, ashwishwɛ ŋshɔ, kanei lɛ, kɛ onukpai 24 ni hiɛ tsofa-kɛ-ŋma lɛ—enɛɛmɛi fɛɛ ji nɔ ko ni tamɔ shikpɔŋ nɔ kpee buu lɛ ni ji Yehowa sɔlemɔ we yɛ Israel lɛ he nii. (2 Mose 25:17, 18; 40:24-27, 30-32; 1 Kronika 24:4) Belɛ ani esa akɛ efee wɔ naakpɛɛ akɛ wɔɔna okadi afɔleshaa latɛ ko yɛ ŋwɛi?—2 Mose 40:29.

3. (a) Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ atsɔ afɔse susumai ashwie “afɔleshaa latɛ lɛ shishi” yɛ blema Yudafoi akpee buu lɛ mli? (b) Mɛni hewɔ Yohane na odasefoi ni agbe amɛ lɛ asusumai yɛ okadi afɔleshaa latɛ ni yɔɔ ŋwɛi lɛ shishi lɛ?

³ Nɔ ni yɔɔ afɔleshaa latɛ nɛɛ shishi ji “mɛi ni agbe yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ wiemɔ lɛ hewɔ kɛ odase ni amɛye lɛ hewɔ lɛ asusumai.” Mɛni ji nɔ ni enɛ tsɔɔ? Enɛ nyɛŋ afee susumai ni bɛ gbɔmɔtsei—tamɔ nɔ ni Hela wɔŋjalɔi lɛ heɔ yeɔ lɛ. (1 Mose 2:7; Ezekiel 18:4) Shi moŋ, Yohane le akɛ akɛ la damɔɔ shi ahaa susuma loo wala, ni kɛji akɛ blema Yuda osɔfoi lɛ gbe kooloo ko ni akɛbaasha afɔle lɛ, amɛkɛ ela lɛ shwaa “afɔleshaa latɛ lɛ nɔ kɛkpeɔ” aloo amɛfɔseɔ amɛshwieɔ “afɔleshaa latɛ . . . lɛ shishi.” (3 Mose 3:2, 8, 13; 4:7; 17:6, 11, 12) No hewɔ lɛ akɛ kooloo lɛ susuma toɔ afɔleshaa latɛ lɛ he. Mɛni hewɔ anaa nɛkɛ Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji nɛɛ asusumai, loo amɛla yɛ okadi afɔleshaa latɛ ni yɔɔ ŋwɛi lɛ shishi lɛ? Ejaakɛ abuɔ amɛ gbele lɛ akɛ afɔleshaa nɔ.

4. Kristofoi ni akɛ mumɔ efɔ amɛ lɛ agbele ji afɔleshaa nɔ yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ?

⁴ Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, mɛi fɛɛ ni afɔɔ amɛ akɛ Nyɔŋmɔ mumɔŋ bii lɛ gboɔ afɔleshaa gbele. Yɛ nitsumɔ ni amɛbaatsu yɛ Yehowa ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli hewɔ lɛ, eji Nyɔŋmɔ suɔmɔnaa nii akɛ amɛkpoo naanɔ wala yɛ shikpɔŋ nɔ lɛ he hiɛnɔkamɔ fɛɛ ni amɛyɔɔ ni amɛkɛsha afɔle.

Enɛ ji anɔkwale diɛŋtsɛ yɛ mɛi ni Yohane na yɛ afɔleshaa latɛ lɛ shishi lɛ ahe. Amɛji mɛi ni afɔ amɛ mu ni agbe amɛ akɛ la odasefoi yɛ amɛgbii lɛ amli yɛ sɔɔmɔ nitsumɔ lɛ ni amɛkɛ ekaa tsu ni amɛkɛfi Yehowa Wiemɔ kɛ jeŋ muu fɛɛ maŋtsɛ ni eji lɛ sɛɛ lɛ hewɔ. “Agbe amɛ yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ wiemɔ lɛ hewɔ kɛ odase ni amɛye [mar·ty·riʹan] lɛ hewɔ.”

5. Mɛni haa ebaalɛ akɛ anɔkwafoi lɛ asusumai miibolɔ kɛmiitsɛ oweletɔɔ, tsɛbelɛ amɛgboi lɛ?

⁵ Nifeemɔ lɛ miiba lolo: “Ni amɛbolɔ kɛ gbee waa akɛ: Owura krɔŋkrɔŋ kɛ anɔkwafo, mɛɛ beyinɔ po oookojo ni oootɔ wɔla lɛ he owele yɛ mɛi ni hiɔ shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ lɛ anɔ?” (Kpojiemɔ 6:10) Te aaafee tɛŋŋ ni amɛsusumai, aloo amɛla aaabolɔ koni atɔ owele, akɛni Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ gbohii lɛ leee nɔ ko nɔ ko lɛ? (Jajelɔ 9:5) Ojogbaŋŋ, ani jalɔ Habel la bolɔɔɔ etsɛɛɛ Kain ni gbe lɛ lɛ? Kɛkɛ ni Yehowa kɛɛ Kain akɛ: “Mɛni ofee nɛɛ? Onyɛmi lɛ la gbee miibolɔ miitsɛ mi kɛmiijɛ shikpɔŋ su lɛ mli!” (1 Mose 4:10, 11; Hebribii 12:24) Enɛ etsɔɔɔ akɛ Habel la diɛŋtsɛ miiwie wiemɔi. Shi moŋ, Habel egbo akɛ mɔ ni leee esha ko, ni jalɛsaneyeli miibolɔ akɛ agbala mɔ ni gbe lɛ lɛ toi. Nakai nɔŋŋ hu nakai Kristofoi ni ji la odasefoi lɛ efeko efɔŋ ko, ni yɛ jalɛsaneyeli naa lɛ, esa akɛ atɔ amɛhe owele. (Luka 18:7, 8) Gbee ni akɛtsɛɔ koni atɔ owele lɛ naa wa ejaakɛ akpei babaoo egboi nakai nɔŋŋ.—Okɛto Yeremia 15:15, 16 he.

6. Mɛɛ la ni efeko nɔ ko ni afɔseɔ ashwieɔ shi yaka lɛ he oweletɔɔ ba yɛ afi 607 D.Ŋ.B.?

⁶ Abaanyɛ akɛ shihilɛ lɛ hu ato Yuda ni kwa hemɔkɛyeli lɛ he yɛ be mli ni Maŋtsɛ Manase baye maŋtsɛ yɛ afi 716 D.Ŋ.B. lɛ.

Yɛ afi 607 D.Ŋ.B., beni Babilonbii lɛ fee Yuda maŋtsɛyeli lɛ amaŋfɔ lɛ, “Yehowa famɔ naa kɛkɛ ni enɛ eba Yuda nɔ nɛɛ, koni ejie amɛ kɛjɛ ehiɛ eshwie yɛ Manase he eshai ni efee lɛ fɛɛ ahewɔ, kɛ mɛi ni efeko nɔ ko lɛ ala ni efɔse eshwie shi lɛ hu hewɔ; ejaakɛ ewo Yerusalem obɔ tɔ kɛ mɛi ni efeko nɔ ko lɛ ala, ni Yehowa sumɔɔɔ akɛ eeeŋɔfa.” —2 Maŋtsɛmɛi 24:3, 4.

Yɛ bei abɔ ni Babilon Kpeteŋkpele lɛ yɔɔ lolo lɛ, mɛi ni egbe amɛ lɛ ala baaya nɔ abolɔ koni aye jalɛsane.—Kpojiemɔ 19:1, 2.
