Ɣaa-Ɓaa Yiɛ Wulo Duo Bai Nii Zu-Nu-Ma E E Ya Gala Faa Ma

1-2. Faa ɓaagi ta ɣa zɛɓɛ ya la Kolai Maa Veaitiɛ ma, e ɣɛ velei e ɣɛɛni la ga Laati?

WHEN we see the way people doing bad-bad thing them today, we can feel the same way Lot was feeling. He really use to feel bad when he see the wicked-wicked thing them the people was doing because he knew that Jehovah hate bad things. (2 Pet. 2:​7, 8) Because Lot was having deep respect and love for God, he use to hate the bad-bad thing them the people was doing. Today we get people around us who not get no respect for Jehovah law, but we can remain clean in God eye if we continue to love him and get deep respect for him.​—Prov. 14:2.

² Jehovah can help us to remain clean through the wise advice that in the book of Proverbs. Whether you man or woman, you young or old, all Christians can benefit from the wise advice in the book of Proverbs.

DUO BAI E DE YA GALA FAA MA TOWA DE MAAZU VƐTƐ

3. E ɣɛ velei Proverbs 17:3 boga la, zɛɓɛi e kɛɛ maa nɛɛ de ɣigii maazu ɓaa? (Wɛlɛ footei va.)

³ One important reason why we must protect our heart that because Jehovah can see what in our heart. This one mean Jehovah can see more than what other people can see and he know us good-good. (Read Proverbs 17:3.) He will love us if we continue thinking about his advice that can help us to live forever. (John 4:14) Then the bad behavior and the lie-lie thing them from Satan and the people them in this world will not do anything to us. (1 John 5:​18, 19) When we get closer to Jehovah, our love and respect for him will get strong. Because we not want make our Father to feel bad, we will even hate any thinking that will want make us to sin. When something want make us to do bad thing, we will ask ourselves, ‘How I will mean it to hurt Someone that really love me?’​—1 John 4:​9, 10.

4. Duo bai e de ɣaa yɔwɔ̃i nii ya Jehova ʋaa ma na ɓɔga ba ɣɛ le ga e mɛlɛ faa yowũ ɣɛ?

⁴ One sister name Marta who living in Croatia, was tempted to put her hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business. She say: “It was hard for me to think straight and to fight the feeling to do something wrong. But fear for Jehovah protect me.”b How fear for God help her? Marta say that she think good-good about the bad thing them that will happen to her if she put her hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business. We can do the same thing. The worst thing that will happen that: Jehovah will feel bad and we will not be among those that will worship him forever.​—Gen. 6:​5, 6.

5. Zɛɓɛi da maa woli Leo na po-kɔ̃ɔ-mai zu?

⁵ When we get fear for Jehovah, we will be careful to not be friendly with people who can do bad things. Leo, who living in Congo, learn that lesson. Four years after he got baptize, he made friends with people who was doing bad-bad thing them. He was thinking that it was not wrong to be friendly with bad people so long his own self was not doing bad things. But it not stay long, his bad friend them make him to start drinking plenty and to put his hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business. Then he started thinking about what his Christian parents teach him and how he use to be happy when he was serving Jehovah. Because of that, what happen? He started to do the right thing again. The elder them help him to come back to Jehovah. Today, he happy to be serving as elder and special pioneer.

6. Ŋaza nu felegɔi niitiɛ de vaazu yɛpɛzu e vile te va, te logɛ zɛɓɛ ʋaa ma?

⁶ Yor let look at Proverbs chapter 9, that talk about two women. One of them stand for wisdom and the other one stand for foolishness. (To see other examples where the Bible talk about things just like it was talking about people, see Romans 5:14; Galatians 4:24.) When we looking at this chapter, it good to remember that plenty people in Satan world making thing them like, naked man and naked woman picture and man and woman business to be too important. (Eph. 4:19) It important for us to continue doing our best to fear Jehovah and try to not do bad things. (Prov. 16:6) So, whether we man or woman, all of us can benefit from this chapter. Each of the two women giving invitation to people that inexperience or people “lacking good sense.” Each of them say, ‘Come in my house and eat.’ (Prov. 9:​1, 5, 6, 13, 16, 17) But the thing that happen to the people them that accept that invitation very different.

ULU ƔAAVE TITI FAA VA

7. Tiligoi nii ŋaza nui nii boga, su-mɔ̃-sɔgi ɣɛni ga zeɓɛ, e ɣɛ velei Proverbs 9:​13-​18 boga la? (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa footei va.)

⁷ Let look at the invitation from the “stupid woman.” (Read Proverbs 9:​13-18.) She use dry-face to call people who not get sense to “Come in her house and eat with her. But what happen to them? “Those powerless in death are there.” Maybe you can remember the book of Proverbs using this same type of example. It warn us about “the wayward” and “immoral woman.” It say: “Her house sinks down into death.” (Prov. 2:​11-19) Proverbs 5:​3-10 get warning about another “wayward woman” who “feet descend into death.”

8. Deʋe zɛɓɛi maa nɛɛ e bo?

⁸ The people who hear the “stupid woman” invitation must decide whether they will take her invitation or refuse it. Maybe we will have to make decision like that too. Wetin we will do if somebody want make us to put our hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business or we just see naked man or naked woman picture on the internet?

9-10. Zaɓui taniga ta ga zɛɓɛ e kɛɛ maa nɛɛ de wulu ɣaaʋe wɛ̃ɛ-ziɛ bo faa va?

⁹ We get good reasons why we must not put our hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business. The “stupid woman” say: “Stolen waters are sweet.” Wetin they call “stolen waters”? The Bible compare sex between marry people to water that you can enjoy drinking. (Prov. 5:​15-18) Only marry people allow to enjoy sex with each other. But it different with “stolen waters.” Stolen waters mean to have sex with somebody you not marry to. People who can put their hand in this one can normally hide theirself to do it, just like rogue who can come steal. The “stolen waters” can be looking like it sweet if the people who doing it think that nobody will catch them. They fooling theirself because Jehovah can see everything. Nothing can be bitter more than when we spoil our friendship with Jehovah. So nothing sweet about spoiling our friendship with Jehovah. (1 Cor. 6:​9, 10) But that not all.

¹⁰ Boyfriend and girlfriend business can make you feel shame and useless. It can divide families, you can get belly that you not prepare for. So it wise to not take the stupid woman invitation to go in her house to eat. Beside spoiling our friendship with Jehovah, plenty people that can put their hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business can get bad-bad sickness that can make them to die soon. (Prov. 7:​23, 26) Proverb 9:18 say: “Her guests are in the depths of the Grave.” So why plenty people can accept her invitation even though it can put them in big trouble?​—Prov. 9:​13-18.

11. Zɛɓɛi e kɛɛ lɛ vani ga nu ɔ wɛlɛ maa yãka ʋoote va?

¹¹ One very common thing that we must stay away from, that looking at naked man and naked woman picture. Some people can think that looking at naked man and naked woman picture can’t do anything to them. But looking at naked man and naked woman picture, that bad thing. It can make you to not get respect for yourself and other people. And it can be hard for you to leave that bad habit. When people see naked man and naked woman picture, it can be hard for them to forget about it. Also, this bad habit can’t help people to stop thinking on bad things but it can make that wrong desire to get strong. (Col. 3:5; Jas. 1:​14, 15) Yes, plenty people who can look at naked man and naked woman pictures can put their hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business.

12. Da leve ɣɛ le de dɛ ga da ɣigii maazu ɓaazu ani ya vaana maa yãka ʋoote ʋaa wɔ?

¹² Wetin we must do in case rude-rude picture just come on our phone or tablet? We must stop looking at it quick. It will be easy for us to do this one if we remember that our friendship with Jehovah more important to us. Even some picture them that not showing naked people can still make our heart to go on man and woman business. Why we must not look at them? Because we not even want think on anything that can make us to do bad thing. (Matt. 5:​28, 29) One elder in Thailand name David say: “I can ask myself: ‘Even though the picture them not showing naked people, but Jehovah will be happy if I continue looking at them?’ When I think like this it can help me to make good decision.”

13. Zɛɓɛi ya ɓɔ de va ga de kele-ɣele faa ɣɛ?

¹³ When we scare of doing anything that will make Jehovah feel bad, it will help us to do the right thing. Fear for God that “the beginning,” to get wisdom. (Prov. 9:10) We can see this one in the beginning of Proverbs chapter 9. That chapter compare true wisdom to another woman.

YEE ZEI KELE-ƔELE KPƆƆƁƆƆGI NA TILIGOI WU

14. Tiligoi zɛɓɛi e Proverbs 9:​1-6 zu, ga lɛ wuloni ga tili maa wũgi nii ɣavele de yɛpɛi e vile ba?

¹⁴ Read Proverbs 9:​1-6. In this verse them, we read about one invitation from Jehovah, our creator, who can give true wisdom. (Prov. 2:6; Rom. 16:27) This verse them talk about one big house that get seven pillars. This example show that Jehovah good and he welcome everybody to learn from him so that they can be wise.

15. Zɛɓɛi Gala de lilisu ga de kɛ?

¹⁵ From the example of the woman who stand for “true wisdom,” we learn that Jehovah free handy and he can give us plenty good-good thing them. This verse them say that this woman invite people in her house to eat good food and drink the wine that she prepare. (Prov. 9:​2, ftn.) Also, in verse 4 and 5: “She [true wisdom] say to the person who not get sense: ‘Come, eat my bread.’” Why we must go to true wisdom house and eat her food? Because Jehovah want his children them to be wise and safe. He not want us to learn lessons the hard way that will hurt us for the rest of our life. That why “he treasures up practical wisdom for the upright.” (Prov. 2:7) So when we get deep respect for Jehovah, we will not want do anything that will make him feel bad. We can hear his good advice and we happy to follow them.​—Jas. 1:25.

16. Duo bai e Alain ya Gala faa ma, na ɓɔni ba ɣɛ le ga e deʋe vagɔ wo? Tɔwɔ kulo su-nu-ma zɛɓɛi e maa zɔlɔ woni?

¹⁶ Let see how fear for God help Alain to make wise decision. Alain that teacher and he elder in the congregation. He say, “Plenty of my friend them use to watch rude-rude show and they say it was teaching about sex.” But Alain knew that it was not true. He say: Because I love and respect Jehovah, I refuse to watch show them like that. I also explain to them the reason why I was not watching them.” So he was following the advice from this woman the Bible call “true wisdom” to “walk forward in the way of understanding.” (Prov. 9:6) The good decision that Alain make, touch some of the other teacher them heart. Because of that, they studying the Bible now-now and attending the meetings.

17-18. Taitiɛ ta yee zei kele-ɣele kpɔɔɓɔɔgi na tiligoi wu, kulo su-nu-ma zɛɓɛi ta maa zɔlɔwo? Na ɣa ɣɛɛna kulo su-nu-ma zɛɓɛi te vaazu maa zɔlɔ wosu ŋinaa? (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa footei va.)

¹⁷ Jehovah use the example of the two women them to show us how we can be happy in the future. People who accept the invitation from the stupid woman can enjoy putting their hand in boyfriend and girlfriend business. But they not know that what they doing now-now will affect them in future. What they doing will make them to die.”​—Prov. 9:​13, 17, 18.

¹⁸ But the people them that will accept the invitation from the woman who stand for true wisdom will get different future! And they happy because they get all the thing them that can help them to remain close to Jehovah. (Isa. 65:13) Through the prophet Isaiah, Jehovah say: “Listen intently to me, and eat what is good, and you will find great delight in what is truly rich.” (Isa. 55:​1, 2) We learning to love what Jehovah love and to hate what he hate. (Ps. 97:10) And we happy to invite other people to learn from “true wisdom.” We just like the servant them who they tell to make announcement in the city: ‘Anybody who not get sense, let them come here.’ We and the people them that accept this invitation will not only benefit now-now. But we will continue to benefit and get everlasting life if we continue to “walk forward in the way of understanding.”​—Prov. 9:​3, 4, 6.

19. E ɣɛ velei Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14 boga la, zɛɓɛi maa nɛɛ de pɛɛ ɣibɛ ga de kɛ? (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa kologi nii va “Fear for God Can Benefit Us.”)

¹⁹ Read Ecclesiastes 12:​13, 14. Deep respect for Jehovah will protect us and help us to remain clean in God eye and stay close to him in this wicked last days. So, we will continue to invite plenty people to find “true wisdom” and learn from it. We will continue to do it because we love and respect Jehovah with our whole heart.
