³ Susumɔ bɔ ni Petro nu he ehã be ni Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ lɛ akɛ eya Jeŋmajiaŋnyo ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Kornelio lɛ shĩa yɛ Kaisarea lɛ he okwɛ.

¹¹ Esa akɛ wɔna wɔnyɛmimɛi lɛ tamɔ bɔ ni Yehowa naa amɛ lɛ. Jeee niiatsɛ loo ohiafo ni mɔ ko ji lɛ ni hãa Yehowa náa ehe miishɛɛ. Yehowa kwɛɛɛ shika abɔ ni wɔyɔɔ loo heloonaa nibii abɔ ni wɔyɔɔ dani eŋmɛ wɔ gbɛ ni wɔ kɛ lɛ abɔ naanyo. Eyɛ mli akɛ Yesu wie akɛ “ebaawa kɛhã niiatsɛ akɛ eeebote ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli” moŋ, shi no etsɔɔɔ akɛ niiatsɛ ko kwraa nyɛŋ abote ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli. (Mat. 19:23) Yesu wie hu akɛ: “Nyɛ mɛi ni nyɛji ohiafoi lɛ, nyɛyɛ miishɛɛ ejaakɛ nyɛnɔ ji Nyɔŋmɔ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ.” (Luka 6:20) Shi enɛ hu etsɔɔɔ akɛ ohiafoi fɛɛ baabo Yesu toi ni abaajɔɔ amɛ fe niiatsɛmɛi. Ohiafoi pii booo Yesu toi. Sane lɛ nɔŋŋ kɛkɛ ji akɛ: Wɔnyɛŋ wɔdamɔ niiatsɛ loo ohiafo ni mɔ ko ji lɛ nɔ wɔtsɔɔ kɛji wekukpaa kpakpa yɛ ekɛ Yehowa teŋ aloo wekukpaa kpakpa bɛ ekɛ lɛ teŋ.

¹³ Ŋmalɛ lɛ ewie shii abɔ akɛ wɔjie bulɛ kpo wɔtsɔɔ hiimeji kɛ yeimeji.
