EYƐ NYAM! EKANYAA GBEYEISHEMƆ! Nɛkɛ ji bɔ ni Yehowa maŋtsɛsɛi ni yɔɔ la haai lɛ, kerubim lɛ, onukpai 24 lɛ kɛ ashwishwɛ ŋshɔ lɛ teŋ lɛ he ninaa ni kanyaa mɔ lɛ yɔɔ.

Yohane gbala jwɛŋmɔ kɛtee nɔ ni yaa nɔ yɛ ŋwɛi nɛɛ teŋ diɛŋtsɛ lɛ nɔ, ni ekɛɔ wɔ akɛ: “Ni mina wolo ko yɛ Mɔ ni ta maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ nɔ lɛ ninejurɔ nɔ, ni aŋma emli kɛ esɛɛ fɛɛ, asɔo naa kɛ naasɔomɔi kpawo. Ni mina bɔfo agbo ko miishiɛ kɛ gbee wulu akɛ: Namɔ ji mɔ ni sa akɛ eeegbele wolo lɛ naa ni etsɛrɛ enaasɔomɔi lɛ?

Wɔkaiɔ nine ni Yehowa fɔ Yohane lɛ: “Kwɔɔ kɛba biɛ nɛɛ, ni matsɔɔo nii ni sa akɛ aba mli yɛ nii nɛɛ asɛɛ.” (Kpojiemɔ 4:1) Wɔkɛ gbɛkpamɔ ni kanyaa mɔ miikpa gbɛ akɛ wɔɔkase nakai nibii lɛ ahe nii. Shi ao, asɔo wolo lɛ naa kpɛŋŋ, akɛ naasoɔmɔi kpawo esɔo naa!

³ Ani bɔfo agbo loo mɔ ni he wa lɛ baana mɔ ko ni sa ni eeegbele wolo lɛ naa? Taakɛ Kingdom Interlinear lɛ tsɔɔ lɛ, wolo lɛ yɛ Yehowa “ninejurɔ nɔ.” Enɛ tsɔɔ akɛ ehiɛ wolo lɛ yɛ edɛŋ.

Naa, Jata lɛ ni jɛ Yuda akutso lɛ mli lɛ, mɔ ni ji David shishifa lɛ eye kunim ni egbele wolo lɛ naa, ni etserɛ enaasɔomɔi kpawo lɛ.” (Kpojiemɔ 5:5) No hewɔ lɛ, Yohane, tsuumɔ nakai yaafonui lɛ!

 5. (a) Mɛɛ gbalɛ ni kɔɔ Yuda he ji nɔ ni awie, ni nɛgbɛ ji he ni Yuda seshibii lɛ ye maŋtsɛ yɛ? (b) Namɔ ji Shilo?

⁵ Ah, “Jata lɛ ni jɛ Yuda akutso lɛ mli lɛ”! Yohane le gbalɛ ni Yakob, mɔ ni fɔ Yudafoi aweku lɛ jaje ni kɔɔ ebi ni ji ejwɛ, Yuda he lɛ jogbaŋŋ: “Jata bi nuu ji Yuda; milɛloo nɔ ote shi kɛjɛ, mibi. Eekoto shi, eebu shi tamɔ jata, tamɔ jata yoo; namɔ aaawo ehiɛ la? Maŋtsɛtso ejeŋ Yuda dɛŋ, ni nɔyeli tso hu ejeŋ enaji ateŋ, kɛyashi beyinɔ ni mɔ nɔ ni ji [Shilo] lɛ aaaba, ni lɛ toi majimaji lɛ aaabo.” (1 Mose 49:9, 10) Odehei aweku ni yɔɔ Nyɔŋmɔ webii lɛ ateŋ lɛ ba kɛjɛ Yuda. Eje shishi kɛjɛ David nɔ, ni maŋtsɛmɛi fɛɛ ni eye nɔ yɛ Yerusalem kɛbashi be mli ni Babilonbii lɛ kpata maŋ lɛ hiɛ lɛ ji Yuda seshibii. Shi amɛteŋ mɔ ko mɔ ko jeee Shilo ni Yakob gba yɛ ehe lɛ. Shilo shishi ji “Mɔ Nɔ Ni [Hegbɛ Lɛ] Ji.” Yɛ gbalɛ naa lɛ, gbɛi nɛɛ kɔɔ Yesu, mɔ ni David Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ ji enɔ kɛmiiya naanɔ lɛ he.—Ezekiel 21:30-32; Luka 1:32, 33; Kpojiemɔ 19:16.

 6. Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ Yesu batsɔ Ishai “tso fɔ” kɛ agbɛnɛ hu “David shishifa” yɛ?

⁶ Yohane kɛ oyaiyeli yɔse nɔ ni awieɔ he akɛ “David shishifa lɛ.” Atsɛɔ shiwoo Mesia lɛ yɛ gbalɛ mli akɛ “tso fɔ ko . . . ni jɛ Ishai [Maŋtsɛ David tsɛ] tso kuku lɛ mli” kɛ “Ishai shishifa ni ji aflaŋaa ni ashi aha majimaji lɛ.” (Yesaia 11:1, 10) Yesu ji Ishai tso fɔ, afɔ lɛ awo David, Ishai bi nuu lɛ odehei aweku lɛ mli. Agbɛnɛ, akɛ Ishai shishifa lɛ, lɛ ji Mɔ ni ha David odehei aweku lɛ tsɛ̃ ekoŋŋ, ni eha lɛ wala kɛ nɔ ni ekɛbaawaje lɛ kɛya naanɔ.—2 Samuel 7:16.

 7. Mɛni haa Yesu bafeɔ mɔ ni sa akɛ eheɔ wolokpo lɛ kɛjɛɔ Mɔ ni ta maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ nɔ lɛ dɛŋ lɛ?

⁷ Yesu ji mɔ ni akɛ adesa ni yeɔ emuu lɛ, esɔmɔ Yehowa yɛ emuuyeli mli yɛ kaai ni mli wawai ashishi ni fe fɛɛ. Lɛ ekɛ hetoo ni yeɔ emuu ha Satan mpoatswaa lɛ. (Abɛi 27:11) No hewɔ lɛ, ebaanyɛ ewie taakɛ bɔ ni efee yɛ gbɛkɛ ni etsɔ afɔleshaa gbele mli lɛ akɛ, “miye je lɛ nɔ kunim.” (Yohane 16:33) Yɛ enɛ hewɔ lɛ, Yehowa kɛ ‘ŋwɛi kɛ shikpɔŋ nɔ hegbɛ fɛɛ’ ewo Yesu ni atee lɛ shi lɛ dɛŋ. Yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji fɛɛ ateŋ lɛ, lɛ pɛ ji mɔ ni he esa akɛ eheɔ wolo lɛ, kɛ yiŋtoo akɛ eeeha ale emli saji ni he hiaa lɛ.—Mateo 28:18.

 8. (a) Yɛ nɔ ni kɔɔ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ he lɛ, mɛni tsɔɔ akɛ Yesu sa kɛha enɛ? (b) Mɛni hewɔ esa akɛ onukpai 24 lɛ ateŋ mɔ kome ajie mɔ ni esa akɛ egbeleɔ wolo lɛ naa lɛ kpo atsɔɔ Yohane lɛ?

⁸ Eji nɔ ni sa diɛŋtsɛ akɛ Yesu aaagbele wolo lɛ naa. Kɛjɛ 1914 mli ni awo lɛ Maŋtsɛ yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ Mesia Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ nɔ, ni nakai wolo lɛ jieɔ nibii pii ni kɔɔ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ kɛ nɔ ni ebaatsu he lɛ kpo. Yesu ye Maŋtsɛyeli anɔkwale lɛ he odase yɛ anɔkwayeli mli yɛ be mli ni eyɔɔ shikpɔŋ nɛɛ nɔ lɛ. (Yohane 18:36, 37) Etsɔɔ ekaselɔi lɛ ni amɛsɔle amɛha Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ baa. (Mateo 6:9, 10) Lɛ eje Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ sanekpakpa lɛ shiɛmɔ shishi yɛ Kristofoi abei lɛ shishijee mli ni egba he ni shiɛmɔ nitsumɔ lɛ baaya ayashɛ yɛ naagbee be lɛ mli lɛ efɔ shi. (Mateo 4:23; Marko 13:10) Nakai nɔŋŋ hu eji nɔ ni sa akɛ onukpai 24 lɛ ateŋ mɔ kome aaajie lɛ kpo aha Yohane akɛ Yesu ji mɔ ni baatserɛ naasɔomɔi lɛ anaa lɛ. Mɛni hewɔ? Ejaakɛ nɛkɛ onukpai nɛɛ tara maŋtsɛsɛii anɔ, ni akekerei fimɔ amɛyitsei, ni tsɔɔ akɛ amɛji Kristo nanemɛi niyelɔi yɛ e-Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli.—Romabii 8:17; Kpojiemɔ 4:4.

‘Toobi lɛ ni Agbe lɛ Lɛ’

 9. Yɛ jata najiaŋ lɛ, mɛni ji nɔ ni Yohane na ni edamɔ “maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ teŋ,” ni te etsɔɔ enɛ mli eha tɛŋŋ?

⁹ Yohane kwɛ ni ena nɛkɛ “Jata lɛ ni jɛ Yuda akutso lɛ mli lɛ.” Shi kwɛ bɔ ni enɛ yɔɔ naakpɛɛ ha! Okadi mfoniri kroko kwraa pue: “Ni mikwɛ, ni naa, maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ kɛ hiɛkalɔi ejwɛ lɛ teŋ lɛ, kɛ onukpai nyɔŋmai-enyɔ kɛ ejwɛ lɛ ateŋ lɛ, toobi ko damɔ shi tamɔ nɔ ni agbe lɛ, eyɛ akoloŋtoi kpawo, kɛ hiŋmɛii kpawo ni ji Nyɔŋmɔ mumɔi kpawo lɛ ni atsu kɛtee shikpɔŋ lɛ fɛɛ nɔ lɛ.”—Kpojiemɔ 5:6.

10. Namɔ ji “toobi” ni Yohane na lɛ, ni mɛni hewɔ gbɛi ni akɛtsɛ lɛ nɛɛ sa jogbaŋŋ lɛ?

¹⁰ Nɔ ni yɔɔ teŋgbɛ yɛ maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ masɛi, yɛ liamɔ kutruku ni hiɛkalɔi ejwɛ lɛ kɛ onukpai 24 lɛ efo lɛ teŋ ji toobi ko! Ŋwanejee ko bɛ he akɛ Yohane yɔse nɛkɛ toobi nɛɛ oya akɛ “Jata lɛ ni jɛ Yuda akutso lɛ mli lɛ” kɛ “David shishifa” lɛ. Ele akɛ, yɛ nɔ ni fe afii 60 ni tsɔ hiɛ lɛ mli lɛ, Yohane Baptisilɔ lɛ jie Yesu etsɔɔ Yudafoi ni kwɛɔ lɛ lɛ akɛ “Nyɔŋmɔ Toobi ni woɔ je lɛ he esha kɛyaa lɛ!” (Yohane 1:29) Yɛ eshihilɛ be fɛɛ ni eye yɛ shikpɔŋ nɛɛ nɔ lɛ mli lɛ, Yesu hi shi akɛ mɔ ni je lɛ wooo ehe muji—tamɔ toobi ni kpa ko bɛ ehe—bɔni afee ni enyɛ ekɛ ewala asha afɔle aha adesai akɛ nɔ ni kpa ko bɛ he.—1 Korintobii 5:7; Hebribii 7:26.

11. Mɛni hewɔ tsɛ ni atsɛ Yesu akɛ etamɔ “toobi ko ni tamɔ nɔ ni agbe lɛ” lɛ jeee ehiɛ nyam ni awooo lɛ?

¹¹ Shi ekolɛ ákɛ ‘akɛ toobi ko ni tamɔ nɔ ni agbe lɛ’ aaato Yesu ni awo ehiɛ nyam lɛ he lɛ baa lɛ shi aloo eji nɔ ni bulɛ bɛ mli? Dabida! Anɔkwale ni eji akɛ Yesu hi shi akɛ anɔkwafo kɛyashi gbele mli lɛ ji Satan nɔ kunim kpeteŋkpele ni aye kɛ kunimyeli kpele kɛha Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ. Yesu he mfoniri ni afee yɛ nɛkɛ gbɛ nɔ lɛ tsɔɔ bɔ ni eyeɔ Satan je lɛ nɔ kunim ni ekaiɔ wɔ suɔmɔ ni mli kwɔ ni Yehowa kɛ Yesu yɔɔ kɛha adesai lɛ yɛ faŋŋ mli. (Yohane 3:16; 15:13; okɛto Kolosebii 2:15 he.) Akɛ nine tsɔɔ Yesu yɛ biɛ akɛ shiwoo Seshi lɛ, mɔ ni he esa kwraa akɛ etseɔ wolo lɛ naa lɛ.—1 Mose 3:15.

12. Mɛni Toobi lɛ akoloŋtoi kpawo lɛ damɔ shi kɛha?

¹² Mɛni hu kɛ nɔ ko fataa hiɛsɔɔ ni wɔyɔɔ wɔhaa “toobi” nɛɛ he lɛ he? Eyɛ akoloŋtoi kpawo.

No hewɔ lɛ Toobi lɛ akoloŋtoi kpawo lɛ damɔ shi kɛha hewalɛ ni eyi obɔ ni Yehowa kɛwo Yesu dɛŋ lɛ. Enɔ kwɔ “fe onukpayeli kɛ hegbɛ kɛ hewalɛ kɛ nɔyeli fɛɛ kɛ gbɛi fɛɛ gbɛi ni awo, jeee benɛbe nɛɛ mli kɛkɛ, shi be ni baaba lɛ mli hu lɛ.” (Efesobii 1:20-23; 1 Petro 3:22) Kɛjɛ 1914 yɛ be mli ni Yehowa wo lɛ Maŋtsɛ yɛ ŋwɛi lɛ mli ni Yesu kɛ nɔyeli hewalɛ etsu nii titri.—Lala 2:6.

13. (a) Mɛni Toobi lɛ hiŋmɛii kpawo lɛ damɔ shi kɛha? (b) Mɛni Toobi lɛ je shishi efee?

¹³ Agbɛnɛ, mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ eyi Yesu obɔ kɛmɔ shi, taakɛ bɔ ni Toobi lɛ hiŋmɛii kpawo ni “ji Nyɔŋmɔ mumɔi kpawo lɛ” feɔ he mfoniri lɛ.
