Enɛɛmɛi haa wɔnaa akɛ, shihilɛ ni yɔɔ yɛ nakai beaŋ lɛ tamɔ nɔ ni yɔɔ ŋmɛnɛ lɛ nɔŋŋ.—1 Mose 4:20-22; Luka 17:26-28.

Atsɔɔ nɔ kroko hu ni yɔɔ sɔrɔto yɛ 1 Mose 6:1, 2 lɛ mli akɛ: “Ni eba mli akɛ, beni gbɔmɛi bɔi fɛomɔ yɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ, ni afɔfɔɔ biyei aha amɛ lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ bihii lɛ yana akɛ gbɔmɛi abiyei lɛ ahe yɛ fɛo, ni amɛwɛwɛɛ amɛteaŋ yei fɛɛ ni amɛsumɔɔ.” Nɛkɛ “Nyɔŋmɔ bihii” nɛɛ ji ŋwɛibɔfoi ni tsake amɛhe ni amɛbahi shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ akɛ gbɔmɛi.

Biblia lɛ wie nakai yinɔbii lɛ ahe akɛ amɛkpɔtɔ waa diɛŋtsɛ. Ekɛɛ akɛ: “Gbɔmɛi anɔ fɔŋ feemɔ fá yɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ, ni amɛtsuiŋ susumɔi ajwɛŋmɔ fɛɛ lɛ efɔŋ kɛkɛ ji daa nɛɛ. . . . Awo shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ obɔ kɛ yiwalɛ. . . . Heloo fɛɛ efite egbɛ yɛ shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ.”—1 Mose 6:5, 11, 12.
Nɛkɛ ji bɔ ni shihilɛ lɛ yɔɔ yɛ jeŋ ni Noa hi mli lɛ mli. Ákɛ mɔ ni tamɔɔɔ gbɔmɛi ni ebɔle lɛ lɛ, “Noa ji jalɔ,” ni ekɛ “Nyɔŋmɔ nyiɛ.” (1 Mose 6:9) Ebɛ mlɛo akɛ jalɔ aaahi shi yɛ gbɔmɛi ni efeee jalɛ nii lɛ ateŋ. Kwɛ bɔ ni ekolɛ Noa hao yɛ gbɔmɛi lɛ awiemɔi kɛ amɛnifeemɔi lɛ hewɔ! Ekolɛ enu he tamɔ bɔ ni Lot ni ji jalɔ ni hi shi yɛ Nu Afua lɛ sɛɛ lɛ nu he lɛ.

Ani bo hu ohaoɔ yɛ nibii gbohii ni atswaa he adafi lɛ, loo yɛ mɛi ni kɛ Nyɔŋmɔ mlai tsuuu nii ni ebɔle bo lɛ ahewɔ? Kɛ́ nakai ni lɛ, obaanyɛ onu nɔ hewɔ ni Noa nu he nakai lɛ shishi.

Kwɛ bɔ ni eshwe koni efɔŋfeemɔ ni tee nɔ yɛ ebeaŋ lɛ sɛɛ afo!—1 Mose 7:6.
Noa Ná Ekãa Kɛhi Shi akɛ Mɔ ni Yɔɔ Srɔto
Noa “eye emuu yɛ eyinɔbii lɛ ateŋ.” (1 Mose 6:9) Kadimɔ akɛ Biblia lɛ kɛɛ akɛ eye emuu yɛ eyinɔbii lɛ ateŋ, shi jeee yɛ eyinɔbii lɛ asusumɔ naa. Yɛ gbɛ kroko nɔ lɛ, enɛ tsɔɔ akɛ Noa eye emuu yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ hiɛ, shi yɛ mɛi ni hi shi dani Nu Afua lɛ ba lɛ ahiɛ lɛ, Noa ji mɔ ko ni eje eŋɛlɛ nɔ. Wɔbaanyɛ wɔná nɔmimaa akɛ ekpɛlɛɛɛ susumɔi gbohii ni mɛi babaoo hiɛ lɛ anɔ, ni asaŋ ekɛ ehe wooo hiɛtserɛjiemɔi kɛ nifeemɔi ni ehiii ni tee nɔ yɛ egbii lɛ amli lɛ mli.

Kɛfata he lɛ, Noa yɛ jamɔŋ hemɔkɛyelii, ni egba he sane etsɔɔ mɛi krokomɛi. Biblia lɛ kɛɔ akɛ eji “jalɛ shiɛlɔ.” (2 Petro 2:5) Ŋwanejee ko bɛ he akɛ Noa le akɛ ekɛ shitee-kɛwoo baakpe. Noa nanakaŋsowa Henok ni ji jalɔ lɛ gba efɔ̃ shi akɛ Nyɔŋmɔ baakojo efɔŋfeelɔi. Eeenyɛ efee akɛ enɛ ha awa Henok yi, shi Nyɔŋmɔ eŋmɛɛɛ ehenyɛlɔi lɛ agbɛ ni amɛgbe lɛ. (1 Mose 5:18, 21-24; Hebribii 11:5; 12:1; Yuda 14, 15) Akɛni Satan, daimonioi, Nefilim, kɛ gbɔmɛi lɛ ateŋ mɛi babaoo booo Noa toi loo amɛte shi amɛwo lɛ hewɔ lɛ, ehe bahia ni efee ekãa ni ená hemɔkɛyeli akɛ Yehowa baanyɛ abaa eyi.
Mɛi ni jáaa Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ teɔ shi amɛwoɔ mɛi ni jáa Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ be fɛɛ be. Anyɛ Yesu Kristo po, ni anyɛ esɛɛnyiɛlɔi lɛ hu. (Mateo 10:22; Yohane 15:18) Noa ná ekãa kɛsɔmɔ Nyɔŋmɔ, eyɛ mli akɛ eyinɔbii lɛ ateŋ mɛi babaoo efeee nakai. Ele akɛ ehiɛ ni aaaba nyam yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ hiɛ lɛ he miihia kwraa fe mɛi ni teɔ shi woɔ Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ ahiɛ ni ebaasa. Ni Noa hiɛ ba nyam yɛ Nyɔŋmɔ hiɛ.
Noa Hiɛ yɛ Ehe Nɔ
Taakɛ wɔna kɛtsɔ hiɛ lɛ, Noa kɛ ekãa shiɛ etsɔɔ mɛi. Te mɛi lɛ fee amɛnii amɛha tɛŋŋ yɛ eshɛɛ sane lɛ he? Biblia lɛ kɛɔ akɛ yɛ gbii ni tsɔ Nu Afua lɛ hiɛ lɛ amli lɛ, mɛi lɛ ‘hiɛ niyeli kɛ ninumɔ kɛ yoowɛɛ kɛ gbalahamɔ mli aahu kɛyashi gbi ni Noa yabote adeka lɛ mli, ni amɛhiɛ bɛ amɛhe nɔ kɛyashi nu afua lɛ baloo amɛ fɛɛ kɛtee.’ Amɛbooo kɔkɔbɔɔ ni akɛha amɛ lɛ toi.—Mateo 24:38, 39.
Yesu kɛɛ akɛ nakai nɔŋŋ wɔgbii nɛɛ aaatamɔ. Yehowa Odasefoi kɛ nɔ ni fe afii 100 ebɔ kɔkɔ akɛ Yehowa kɛ hiɛdɔɔ baatsu saji ahe nii koni ekɛha eshiwoo akɛ ekɛ jeŋ hee ni jalɛ hiɔ mli baaba lɛ aba mli. Eyɛ mli akɛ mɛi akpekpei abɔ ebo kɔkɔbɔɔ nɛɛ toi moŋ, shi mɛi akpekpei toi akpei abɔ ni yɔɔ shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ lɛ haaa amɛhiɛ ahi enɛ nɔ loo amɛbooo toi. “Kwa amɛkwaa amɛjieɔ amɛhiɛ yɛ nɔ” akɛ Nu Afua lɛ ji nɔ ko ni ba diɛŋtsɛ ni esa akɛ amɛkase nɔ ko kɛjɛ mli.—2 Petro 3:5, 13.
Shi kɛlɛ, Noa ha ehiɛ hi ehe nɔ. Ehe nɔ ni Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ lɛ lɛ eye. Toiboo ni efee lɛ ha abaa eyi. Bɔfo Paulo ŋma akɛ: “Hemɔkɛyeli Noa . . . kɛbu Nyɔŋmɔ, beni efã lɛ yɛ nii ní anako lɛ ahewɔ lɛ, ni ekɛsaa adeka eha ewe lɛ yiwalaheremɔ.”—Hebribii 11:7.

Adeka ni Noa kpɛ lɛ da waa diɛŋtsɛ, eda fe paaki ni atswaa bɔɔl yɛ nɔ, ni enɔkwɔlɛ shɛɔ ŋwɛitsu ŋsɔɔdoi etɛ. Ekɛ fe meele ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Wyoming, ni akɛɛ no ji meele ni da fe fɛɛ ni akɛ tso fee lɛ mitai 30. Eji anɔkwale akɛ adeka lɛ jeee meele; ehe miihia ni enyɛ etɛo nu hiɛ kɛkɛ. Shi kɛlɛ, ebi ni akɛ ŋaa babaoo atsu he nii. Ni esa akɛ awo emli kɛ ehe fɛɛ amã. Ekolɛ ehe nɔ ni fe afii 50 ni akɛkpɛ adeka lɛ.—1 Mose 6:14-16.

Esa akɛ ebua kooloi lɛ anaa ni ekɛ amɛ awo adeka lɛ mli dani Nu Afua lɛ aba. “Noa fee bɔ ni Yehowa fã lɛ lɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ.” Kwɛ bɔ ni amɛtsui nyɔ amɛ mli waa beni amɛgbe nitsumɔ lɛ naa ni Yehowa ŋa adeka lɛ naa lɛ!—1 Mose 6:19-21; 7:5, 16.
No sɛɛ ni Nu Afua lɛ ba. Nugbɔ nɛ shwaneshwane kɛ nyɔɔŋnyɔɔŋ gbii 40. Amɛhi adeka lɛ mli afi kome dani nui lɛ mii. (1 Mose 7:11, 12; 8:13-16) Mɛi fɔji lɛ fɛɛ ahiɛ kpata. Noa kɛ eweku lɛ pɛ yi abaa kɛtee shikpɔŋ ni asaa nɔ lɛ nɔ.
Biblia lɛ kɛɔ ákɛ akɛ Nu Afua ni hà shikpɔŋ muu lɛ fɛɛ nɔ yɛ Noa gbii lɛ amli lɛ ‘to nibii ni baaba lɛ ahe okadi.’ Yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ? Aŋma yɛ Biblia lɛ mli akɛ: ‘Ŋwɛi kɛ shikpɔŋ ní yɔɔ nɛɛ, akɛ amɛ eto kɛyashi kojomɔ kɛ gbɔmɛi ní kwá Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ ahiɛkpatamɔ gbi lɛ nɔ.’ Shi tamɔ bɔ ni abaa mɛi ayi yɛ Noa gbii lɛ amli lɛ, nakai nɔŋŋ hu abaabaa mɛi komɛi ayi yɛ gbi nɛɛ mli. Ná nɔmimaa akɛ “Nuŋtsɔ [Yehowa] le bɔ ni efeɔ ejieɔ jalɔi yɛ kaa mli.”—2 Petro 2:5, 6, 9; 3:7.
