‘Mi no tingim tumas ol samting nogut i kamap long nau; mi ting gutpela taim bai kamap bihain’

Yu ken tok: ‘Jisas i tok, i gat gutpela as na ol disaipel bilong em long nau ol i ken amamas. (Lu 21:​11, 31)’ Na ating yu ken tok moa olsem: ‘Tasol em i no tok, bilong i stap amamas ol i no ken tingim ol samting i kamap long graun. Em i tok, ol i ken amamas, long wanem, ol i save long as bilong ol dispela samting i kamap na ol i save long ol samting bai kamap bihain.’

Stori: Long Baibel ol i bin raitim pastaim long tok Hibru na tok Grik, neʹphesh (tok Hibru) na psy·kheʹ (tok Grik) i makim man o animal o laip bilong man o animal. Tasol long sampela Baibel ol i tanim dispela tupela tok olsem “tewel.” Planti man i ting, yumi gat wanpela tewel i stap insait long skin na taim yumi dai, skin tasol i dai na tewel i stap laip yet na i lusim bodi. Tasol dispela tingting i no stret long Baibel.

Baibel i tok wanem na yumi ken save long insait bilong tok “neʹphesh” na “psy·kheʹ”?

Stt 2:7: “Bikpela i kisim graun na em i wokim man long en. Na em i winim win bilong laip i go insait long nus bilong man, na man i kisim laip.” (God i givim laip long man; em i no putim tewel insait long skin bilong em.) (Long dispela ves ol i tanim hap tok Hibru neʹphesh olsem “laip.” Ol i tanim olsem tu long KJ, AS, Dy. Long RS, JB, NAB, NE, ol i tanim olsem “samting i gat laip.” Na long Kx, ol i tanim olsem “man.”)

1 Ko 15:45: “Buk bilong God i tok olsem, ‘Namba wan man, Adam, i bin kisim laip.’ Tasol narapela Adam i kamap bihain tru, em i bin kamap spirit bilong givim laip long man.” (Ol Skripsa Grik i mekim wankain tok olsem Ol Skripsa Hibru​—⁠God i givim laip long Adam; em i no givim tewel long em.) (Long dispela ves ol i tanim hap tok Grik psy·kheʹ olsem “laip.” Ol i tanim olsem tu long KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, Kx. Long RS, NE, TEV, ol i tanim olsem “samting i stap laip.”)

1 Pi 3:20: “Long taim bilong Noa . . . liklik lain tasol, inap 8-pela manmeri, ol i bin i go antap long sip na . . . ol i stap gut.” (Long tok Grik, dispela tok “manmeri” em psy·khaiʹ, olsem ol psy·kheʹ. Long KJ, AS, Dy, Kx, JB, TEV, RS, NE, NAB tu ol i tanim olsem “manmeri.”)

Stt 9:5: “Sapos wanpela animal o wanpela man i pinisim laip [tok Hibru, neʹphesh] bilong yupela, bai mi mekim save tru long em.” (Ol inap pinisim neʹphesh, olsem na dispela tok neʹphesh i no makim “tewel.”)

Jos 11:11: “Ol Israel i kilim i dai olgeta man [tok Hibru, neʹphesh] bilong Hasor.” (Dispela tok i makim olsem ol inap kilim i dai neʹphesh, olsem na tok neʹphesh i no makim “tewel.”)

Wanem ol hap bilong Baibel i kolim tok “neʹphesh” na “psy·kheʹ” long ol animal?

Stt 1:​20, 21, 24, 25: “God i tok olsem, ‘Solwara i mas pulap long ol kain kain samting i gat laip.* . . . ’ Orait God i mekim kamap ol traipela pis na snek bilong solwara, na ol arapela kain samting bilong solwara, na ol kain kain pisin. . . . Bihain God i tok olsem, ‘Graun i mas kamapim ol kain kain samting i gat laip. . . . ’ God i kamapim ol kain kain animal bilong ples na ol bikpela na liklik animal bilong bus.” (*Long tok Hibru, dispela tok “samting i gat laip” em neʹphesh. Long sampela narapela Baibel tu ol i tanim olsem.)

Wkp 24:​17, 18: “Man i kilim narapela man o meri [tok Hibru, neʹphesh] i dai, orait yupela i mas kilim em tu i dai. Na man i kilim i dai wanpela bulmakau [tok Hibru, neʹphesh] bilong narapela man, em i mas bekim narapela bulmakau long dispela man.” (Baibel i kolim dispela hap tok Hibru neʹphesh long man na long animal.)

KTH 16:3: “Solwara i kamap olsem blut bilong man i dai pinis. Na olgeta samting i stap laip* long solwara, ol i dai.” (*Long tok Grik, dispela tok em psy·kheʹ na long dispela ves em i makim ol animal na pis samting bilong solwara.)

Olsem wanem? Sampela saveman i no Witnes Bilong Jehova ol tu i ting Baibel i no lainim yumi olsem yumi gat tewel?

Wanpela buk Katolik i tok: “Olpela Testamen i no tok, man i gat tupela hap bilong em, olsem bodi na tewel. Nogat.
