“Kpa Aɖakaʋu Na Ðokuiwò”

Eye egblɔ nu si tae la na Noa be: “Nye la mana tsi naɖe anyigba la, bena . . . anyigba dzi nuwo katã naku.” Ke Yehowa bla nu kple Noa gblɔ bena: “[Àyi] ɖe aɖakaʋu la me, wò ŋutɔ, viwòŋutsuwo kple srɔ̃wò hekpe ɖe viwòŋutsuawo srɔ̃wo ŋu.” Azɔ hã, ele be Noa nakplɔ lã ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ɖewo ayi aɖakaʋua me. Ame siwo anɔ aɖakaʋua me la ɖeɖe koe atsi agbe ne Tsiɖɔɖɔa va!—1 Mose 6:17-20.
