Enɛ bɛ naakpɛɛ ejaakɛ Katolik Sɔlemɔ lɛ fata jamɔi babaoo ni heɔ yeɔ akɛ abaafite shikpɔŋ lɛ wɔsɛɛ lɛ ahe. Beni wolo ni ji Dictionnaire de Théologie Catholique lɛ feɔ sane nɛɛ faŋŋ yɛ emli saneyitso ni ji “Je lɛ Hiɛkpatamɔ” lɛ mli lɛ, ewie akɛ: “Katolik Sɔlemɔ lɛ heɔ yeɔ akɛ jeŋ ni Nyɔŋmɔ bɔ ni yɔɔ kɛbashi amrɔ nɛɛ ehiŋ shi kɛyaŋ naanɔ, ni ejeee nɔ ko ni amɛheɔ amɛyeɔ kɛkɛ, shi moŋ efata amɛtsɔɔmɔi lɛ ahe.” Katolik tsɔɔmɔi lɛ ahe wolo ko ni aŋma nyɛsɛɛ nɛɛ hu wie akɛ: “Ashĩ abele ashĩ akwɛ̃i . . . abaafite jeŋ ni wɔyɔɔ mli nɛɛ.” Shi sane lɛ ji akɛ, kɛ́ abaafite wɔshikpɔŋ nɛɛ lɛ, belɛ mɛni hewɔ Biblia lɛ ewo shi akɛ abaafee shikpɔŋ lɛ paradeiso lɛ?

Biblia lɛ feɔ lɛ faŋŋ akɛ wɔsɛɛ lɛ, shikpɔŋ lɛ baatsɔ paradeiso. Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, beni gbalɔ Yesaia wieɔ shikpɔŋ lɛ kɛ enɔ bii lɛ ahe lɛ, ekɛɛ akɛ: “Amɛaamamɔ tsũi, ni amɛaahi mli, ni amɛaafee weintromi, ni amɛaaye mli yibii! Amɛmamɔŋ tsũi, ní mɔ kroko ahi mli, ni amɛhuŋ hu, ní mɔ kroko aye; ejaakɛ mimaŋ lɛ gbii aaatamɔ tsei agbii, ni mɛi ni mihala lɛ aaaye amɛnine naa nitsumɔ lɛ mli nii aahu po.” (Yesaia 65:21, 22) Yudafoi lɛ ji mɛi ni Nyɔŋmɔ kɛ shiwoo nɛɛ ha, ni no mli lɛ amɛyɛ nɔmimaa akɛ amɛshikpɔŋ lɛ—yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, shikpɔŋ muu lɛ fɛɛ—baatsɔ paradeiso wɔsɛɛ, ni adesai baahi nɔ kɛya naanɔ.

Beni Lala 37 lɛ maa hiɛnɔkamɔ nɛɛ nɔ mi lɛ, ekɛɛ akɛ: “Mɛi ni he jɔ lɛ, shikpɔŋ lɛ aaatsɔ̃ amɛnɔ̃.” (Lala 37:11) Jeee Israelbii lɛ ni abaaku sɛɛ akɛ amɛ aya Shiwoo Shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ koni amɛyahi nɔ kɛyashi be ko lɛ he kɛkɛ ŋmalɛ nɛɛ wieɔ. Nakai lala lɛ nɔŋŋ kɛɔ akɛ: “Jalɔi lɛ, shikpɔŋ lɛ aaatsɔ amɛnɔ̃ ni amɛaahi nɔ daa.” (Lala 37:29) Kadimɔ akɛ, lala nɛɛ kɛɛ akɛ naanɔ wala yɛ shikpɔŋ nɔ baajwere “mɛi ni he jɔ lɛ.” Beni French Biblia ko wieɔ ŋmalɛ nɛɛ he lɛ, etsɔɔ mli akɛ wiemɔ ni ji “mɛi ni he jɔ” lɛ “hiɛ shishinumɔ ni yaa shɔŋŋ fe bɔ ni kɛfee lɛ atsɔɔ shishi lɛ; ekɔɔ ohiafoi, mɛi ni naa amanehulu loo awaa amɛ yi yɛ Yahweh [Yehowa] hewɔ, kɛ heshibalɔi ni feɔ toiboo amɛhaa Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ ahe.”

Yɛ Yesu Gɔŋ nɔ Shiɛmɔ lɛ mli lɛ, ekɛ shiwoo ko ha ni kaiɔ wɔ ŋmalɛi ni wɔtsɛ́ kɛtsɔ hiɛ lɛ. Ekɛɛ akɛ: “Ajɔɔ mɛi ni he jɔ lɛ; shi amɛaaye shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ.” (Mateo 5:5) Shikome ekoŋŋ lɛ, ŋmalɛ lɛ tsɔɔ ákɛ akɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ baaduro adesai anɔkwafoi lɛ koni amɛhi nɔ kɛya naanɔ. Shi, Yesu fee lɛ faŋŋ eha ebɔfoi lɛ hu akɛ eyaasaa he ko eto amɛ yɛ “[e]tsɛ we lɛ,” ni ákɛ amɛ kɛ lɛ baahi ŋwɛi. (Yohane 14:1, 2; Luka 12:32; 1 Petro 1:3, 4) Belɛ, te esa akɛ wɔnu jɔɔmɔi ni awo shi akɛ mɛi anine baashɛ nɔ yɛ shikpɔŋ nɔ lɛ shishi wɔha tɛŋŋ? Ani jɔɔmɔi nɛɛ ahe hiaa ŋmɛnɛ, ni namɛi anine baashɛ nɔ?

Kɛtsɔ gbɛjianɔi ni Nyɔŋmɔ eto nɛɛ anɔ lɛ, shikpɔŋ lɛ baatsɔ Paradeiso, ni no baaha Nyɔŋmɔ yiŋ ni ekpɛ kɛjɛ blema lɛ aba mli.
