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.

Enɛ nyɛŋ afee susumai ni bɛ gbɔmɔtsei—tamɔ nɔ ni Hela wɔŋjalɔi lɛ heɔ yeɔ lɛ.

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.

(Jajelɔ 9:5) Ojogbaŋŋ, ani jalɔ Habel la bolɔɔɔ etsɛɛɛ Kain ni gbe lɛ lɛ? Kɛkɛ ni Yehowa kɛɛ Kain akɛ: “Mɛni ofee nɛɛ?
