³ Mɛi pii yɛ ni kɛ́ amɛná amɛle akɛ Biblia lɛ egbaaa wɔ Maria he sane tsɔ lɛ, amɛnaa kpɛɔ amɛhe. Nɔ ko fioo pɛ Biblia lɛ wieɔ yɛ tsɔsemɔ ni Maria nine shɛ nɔ kɛ mɔ pɔtɛɛ ni eji lɛ he, shi ewieee nɔ ko kwraa yɛ ehefɛo he. Kɛlɛ, nɔ ni Nyɔŋmɔ Wiemɔ lɛ kɛɔ yɛ ehe lɛ haa wɔkaseɔ nibii babaoo diɛŋtsɛ.

⁵ Jeee gbɔmɔ diɛŋtsɛ basara Maria lɛ. Bɔfo Gabriel ni. Beni ŋwɛi bɔfo lɛ tsɛ Maria akɛ ‘mɔ ni aduro’ lɛ lɛ, “etsui fã” yɛ bɔfo lɛ wiemɔ lɛ hewɔ, ni ejwɛŋ nɔ̃ ŋamɔ ni eji lɛ he.

⁶ Nakai heshibaa lɛ he baahia Maria waa, ejaakɛ ŋwɛi bɔfo lɛ kɛ hegbɛ krɛdɛɛ ko ni nɔ bɛ kwraa duro lɛ. Egbala mli etsɔɔ Maria akɛ, Maria baafɔ bi ko ni he baahia kwraa fe adesai fɛɛ.

(2 Sam. 7:12, 13) No hewɔ lɛ, Maria bi lɛ baatsɔ Mesia ni Nyɔŋmɔ webii lɛ kɛ afii ohai abɔ ekpa lɛ gbɛ lɛ!

 7. (a) Mɛni Maria sanebimɔ lɛ haa anaa yɛ ehe? (b) Mɛni oblahii kɛ oblayei ni yɔɔ ŋmɛnɛ lɛ baanyɛ akase yɛ Maria he?

⁷ Kɛfata he lɛ, bɔfo lɛ kɛɛ Maria akɛ “aaatsɛ́” ebi lɛ akɛ “Ŋwɛinyo lɛ bi.” Te feɔ tɛŋŋ ni yoo ni ji adesa lɛ fɔɔ Nyɔŋmɔ Bi lɛ? Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, te aaafee tɛŋŋ ni Maria aaafɔ binuu lɛ? Yosef etsɛ ehe baa, shi amɛboteko gbalashihilɛ mli. Maria bi bɔfo lɛ sane nɛɛ tɛɛ akɛ: “Te aaafee tɛŋŋ ni enɛ aaaba mliŋ, akɛni mileee nuu nɛɛ?” (Luka 1:34) Kadimɔ akɛ Maria hiɛ gbooo kwraa akɛ ebaakɛɛ akɛ eleee nuu loo ekɛ nuu nako bɔlɛ pɛŋ. Nɔ najiaŋ ni ebaafee lɛ hiɛgbele lɛ, eshwã efɔ̃ oblayoo fro ni eji lɛ nɔ. Ŋmɛnɛ lɛ, oblahii kɛ oblayei pii kɛ amɛhe woɔ bɔlɛnamɔ mli, ni amɛhe feɔ oya kɛyeɔ mɛi ni efeee nakai lɛ ahe fɛo. Je lɛ etsake kwraa lɛɛlɛŋ. Kɛlɛ, Yehowa tsakeko. (Mal. 3:6) Taakɛ ebalɛ yɛ Maria gbii lɛ amli lɛ, ŋmɛnɛ hu lɛ, Yehowa hiɛ sɔɔ mɛi ni hiɔ shi yɛ ejeŋba he mlai lɛ anaa lɛ waa diɛŋtsɛ.—Nyɛkanea Hebribii 13:4.

 8. Te Maria ni yeee emuu lɛ baafee tɛŋŋ afɔ bi ni yeɔ emuu lɛ?

⁸ Maria ji gbɔmɔ ni yeee emuu moŋ, kɛlɛ ekɛ anɔkwayeli sɔmɔ Nyɔŋmɔ. Belɛ, te ebaafee tɛŋŋ efɔ bi ni yeɔ emuu, Nyɔŋmɔ Bi lɛ? Gabriel tsɔɔ mli akɛ: “Mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ aaaba onɔ, ni Ŋwɛinyo lɛ hewalɛ aaabaha onɔ, no hewɔ lɛ nakai bi krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ hu ní ooofɔ́ lɛ, aaatsɛ́ lɛ Nyɔŋmɔ bi.” (Luka 1:35) Kɛ́ akɛɛ nɔ ko yɛ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ, no tsɔɔ akɛ “ehe tse,” “kpa ko bɛ he.” Yɛ fɔmɔ su naa lɛ, adesai náa esha kɛ emuu ni ayeee lɛ kɛjɛɔ amɛfɔlɔi adɛŋ. Shi yɛ Maria gbɛfaŋ lɛ, Yehowa baafee naakpɛɛ nii srɔto ko. Ebaajie e-Bi lɛ wala kɛjɛ ŋwɛi kɛbawo Maria fɔmɔ kotoku mli, ni ekɛ emumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ loo ehewalɛ ni miitsu nii lɛ ‘baaha’ loo baakete Maria nɔ kɛbu gbekɛ lɛ he koni ekaná esha ko kwraa. Ani Maria hé shi ni ŋwɛi bɔfo lɛ wo lɛ lɛ eye? Te efee enii yɛ he eha tɛŋŋ?

 9. (a) Mɛni hewɔ mɛi ni heee Maria he sane lɛ amɛyeee lɛ asane ejaaa lɛ? (b) Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ Gabriel tsɔ ewaje Maria hemɔkɛyeli?

⁹ Ewa kɛha mɛi komɛi, ni Kristendom jamɔŋ nilelɔi komɛi tete fata he lɛ, akɛ amɛbaahe amɛye akɛ oblayoo fro baanyɛ afɔ́.

Kɛlɛ, ehemɔkɛyeli lɛ jeee nɔ ni nɔmimaa bɛ he. Taakɛ mɔ fɛɛ mɔ ni hiɛ kã shi lɛ baafee lɛ, Maria ná nɔ ko nɔ edamɔ ehé sane lɛ eye. No sɛɛ lɛ, Gabriel gba lɛ odaseyeli kroko kɛwaje ehemɔkɛyeli lɛ. Egba lɛ ewekunyo Elisabet ni eda yɛ afiiaŋ, ni atsɛ lɛ kene be kplaŋŋ lɛ he sane. Nyɔŋmɔ etsɔ naakpɛɛ gbɛ nɔ eha ená musu!

10. Eyɛ mli akɛ Maria hiɛ baaba nyam akɛ ebaafɔ Nyɔŋmɔ bi moŋ, shi mɛni hewɔ enaŋ shihilɛ nɛɛ mlɛo kwraa lɛ?

¹⁰ Mɛni Maria baafee agbɛnɛ? Akɛ nitsumɔ ko ewo edɛŋ ni esa akɛ etsu, ni aha lɛ odaseyeli ni tsɔɔ akɛ Nyɔŋmɔ baafee nɔ ni Gabriel wie lɛ fɛɛ. Eyɛ mli akɛ ehiɛ baaba nyam akɛ ebaafɔ Nyɔŋmɔ bi moŋ, shi Maria naŋ shihilɛ nɛɛ mlɛo kwraa. Nɔ kome ji akɛ, Yosef etsɛ ehe baa. Ani kɛ́ Yosef ná le akɛ Maria ená musu lɛ, ebaaya nɔ ekɛ Maria abote gbalashihilɛ mli? Nɔ kroko hu ji akɛ, etamɔ nɔ ni nitsumɔ ni akɛwo edɛŋ lɛ kɛ sɔ̃ wulu ko bafɔ̃ɔ enɔ.

11, 12. (a) Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ hii anɔkwafoi ekãalɔi komɛi po eshashao shi pɛŋ akɛ amɛbaatsu nitsumɔi ni bɛ mlɛo ni Nyɔŋmɔ kɛwo amɛdɛŋ lɛ? (b) Mɛni anaa yɛ Maria he yɛ nɔ ni ekɛɛ Gabriel lɛ hewɔ?

¹¹ Biblia lɛ haa wɔleɔ akɛ hii anɔkwafoi ekãalɔi komɛi po eshashao shi pɛŋ akɛ amɛbaakpɛlɛ nitsumɔi ni bɛ mlɛo ni Nyɔŋmɔ fã amɛ akɛ amɛtsu lɛ anɔ. Mose kɛɛ akɛ enyɛŋ efee Nyɔŋmɔ naawielɔ ejaakɛ enaa tseee. (2 Mose 4:10) Yeremia jie enaa akɛ ‘gbekɛ ji lɛ,’ ni tsɔɔ akɛ edako tsɔ bɔ ni ebaanyɛ etsu nitsumɔ ni Nyɔŋmɔ kɛwo edɛŋ lɛ. (Yer. 1:6) Ni Yona hu jo nitsumɔ ni akɛwo edɛŋ lɛ naa foi! (Yona 1:3) Mɛni Maria hu baafee?

¹² Kɛbashi ŋmɛnɛ po lɛ, mɛi ahiɛ kpako enaajiemɔ ni tsɔɔ akɛ ebaa ehe shi, ni eboɔ Nyɔŋmɔ toi lɛ nɔ. Ekɛɛ Gabriel akɛ: “Naa, Nuŋtsɔ [Yehowa] weyoo [loo nyɔŋ yoo] ji mi; ába mli aha mi yɛ owiemɔ lɛ naa!” (Luka 1:38) Nakai beaŋ lɛ, nyɔŋ yoo ji tsuji lɛ ateŋ mɔ ni baa shi fe fɛɛ; ewala yɛ enuŋtsɔ lɛ dɛŋ. Nakai ji bɔ ni Maria nu he yɛ e-Nuŋtsɔ ni ji Yehowa lɛ he.

Kɛlɛ, yɛ e-Wiemɔ lɛ mli lɛ, ehaa wɔ yiŋtoi babaoo ni wɔbaanyɛ wɔdamɔ nɔ wɔhé lɛ wɔye, ni wɔkɛ wɔhe afɔ̃ enɔ kwraa taakɛ Maria fee lɛ. (Abɛi 3:5, 6) Ani wɔkɛ wɔhe baafɔ̃ enɔ? Kɛ́ wɔkɛ wɔhe fɔ̃ enɔ lɛ, ebaajɔɔ wɔ, ni wɔbaaná yiŋtoi wɔdamɔ nɔ kɛwaje hemɔkɛyeli ni wɔyɔɔ yɛ emli lɛ.

14, 15. (a) Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ Yehowa tsɔ ewaje Maria beni eyasara Elisabet kɛ Zakaria lɛ? (b) Mɛni Maria wiemɔ ni yɔɔ Luka 1:46-55 lɛ haa anaa yɛ ehe?

¹⁴ Elisabet he sane ni Gabriel gba Maria lɛ wo Maria hewalɛ waa. Mɛɛ yoo po yɔɔ je nɛŋ ni baanyɛ anu eshihilɛ lɛ shishi jogbaŋŋ? Maria he fee oya kɛtee Yuda maŋ ni gɔji yɔɔ nɔ lɛ nɔ, ni ekolɛ eji gbii etɛ loo ejwɛ gbɛnyiɛmɔ. Beni eboteɔ Elisabet kɛ Zakaria, ni ji osɔfo lɛ shĩa lɛ mli lɛ, Yehowa ha Maria odaseyeli kroko ni yɔɔ faŋŋ kɛwaje ehemɔkɛyeli lɛ. Elisabet nu Maria ŋamɔ lɛ nɔŋŋ kɛkɛ ni abifao ni yɔɔ Elisabet musuŋ lɛ tũ kɛ miishɛɛ. Mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ yi Elisabet mli obɔ ni etsɛ Maria akɛ “mi-Nuŋtsɔ nyɛ.” No mli lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ ejie lɛ kpo etsɔɔ Elisabet akɛ binuu ni Maria baafɔ lɛ baatsɔ Elisabet Nuŋtsɔ, ni ji Mesia lɛ. Kɛfata he lɛ, akɛ mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ tsirɛ Elisabet ni ejie Maria yi yɛ anɔkwayeli mli ni ejɛ efee toi lɛ hewɔ, ekɛɛ: “Ajɔɔ bo, bo mɔ ni ohé oye.” (Luka 1:39-45) Hɛɛ, nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni Yehowa wo Maria shi yɛ he lɛ baaba mli!

¹⁵ Yɛ Elisabet wiemɔ lɛ sɛɛ lɛ, Maria hu jie enaa. Abaa ewiemɔi lɛ ayi jogbaŋŋ yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ Wiemɔ lɛ mli. (Nyɛkanea Luka 1:46-55.)
