Odaseyeli ni atsɔ hiɛ asusu he lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ afɔ Nyɔŋmɔ maŋtsɛyeli lɛ yɛ A.D. 1914 ni akɛ e-Bi lɛ ta maŋtsɛsɛi nɔ kɛ hewalɛ koni ekɛ dadetso aya nɔ yɛ ehenyɛlɔi ateŋ. Yɛ naagbee lɛ ebaakumɔ amɛ dukuduku ni ejie mɛi ni wuɔ shiɔ Nyɔŋmɔ jeŋ muu fɛɛ maŋtsɛyeli ni ja lɛ kɛya.—Lala 2:8, 9.
No hewɔ lɛ A.D. 1914 kadi be mli ni Kristo ku esɛɛ eba yɛ mumɔŋ ni anaaa lɛ. . . . Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli ni eba yɛ 1914 lɛ kadiɔ eba ni eba loo parousia ni ji shii enyɔ lɛ shishijee. Nɛkɛ Hela wiemɔ nɛɛ shishi ji ba ni eba aloo eyɛ.
