2. Mɛɛ maŋ nɛkɛ Filadelfia ji, ni mɛɛ asafo yɔɔ jɛmɛ, ni mɛni Yesu kɛɔ asafo nɛɛ mli bɔfo lɛ?

Ekɛɔ akɛ: “Ni Filadelfia asafo lɛ bɔfo lɛ, ŋmaa oyaha lɛ akɛ: Nii ni mɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ, anɔkwafo lɛ, mɔ ni hiɛ David samfele lɛ, mɔ ni gbeleɔ ni mɔ ko ŋaaa, ni eŋaa hu ni mɔ ko gbeleee lɛ kɛɛ nɛ.”—Kpojiemɔ 3:7.
3. Mɛni hewɔ ni esa jogbaŋŋ akɛ aaatsɛ Yesu akɛ “krɔŋkrɔŋ” lɛ, ni mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ abaanyɛ akɛɛ yɛ akɛ eji “anɔkwafo”?
3 Yohane enu ni Petro miikɛɛ nakai nuu ni ji Yesu Kristo lɛ akɛ: “Bo oyɔɔ naanɔ wala wiemɔi lɛ; ni wɔ lɛ wɔhe wɔye ni asaŋ wɔna wɔle akɛ bo ji Kristo, Nyɔŋmɔ hiɛkalɔ lɛ bi lɛ.” (Yohane 6:68, 69) Akɛni Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ ji krɔŋkrɔŋfeemɔ naamuu hewɔ lɛ, esa akɛ e-Bi koome lɛ hu afee “krɔŋkrɔŋ.” (Kpojiemɔ 4:8) Yesu ji “anɔkwafo” hu. Hela wiemɔ ni akɛtsu nii yɛ biɛ lɛ (a·le·thi·nosʹ) tsɔɔ krɔŋŋfeemɔ. Yɛ shishinumɔ nɛɛ naa hewɔ lɛ, Yesu ji anɔkwa la kɛ anɔkwa aboloo ni jɛ ŋwɛi ba lɛ. (Yohane 1:9; 6:32) Lɛ ji anɔkwa weintso lɛ.

Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ nɛkɛ Nyɔŋmɔ Bi nɛɛ sa akɛ esɔmɔɔ akɛ Maŋtsɛ kɛ Kojolɔ.—Kpojiemɔ 19:11, 16.
“David Samfele Lɛ”
4, 5. “David samfele” lɛ kɔɔ mɛɛ kpaŋmɔ he?
4 Yesu hiɛ “David samfele lɛ.” Kɛ ekɛmiitsu nii lɛ, “egbeleɔ ni mɔ ko ŋaaa, ni eŋaa hu ni mɔ ko gbeleee.” Mɛni ji nɛkɛ “David samfele” nɛɛ?
5 Maŋtsɛ David ni jɛ Israel lɛ ji mɔ ni Yehowa kɛ lɛ fee kpaŋmɔ kɛha naanɔ maŋtsɛyeli. (Lala 89:2-5, 35-38) David shia lɛ ye lumɔ kɛjɛ Yehowa maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ nɔ yɛ Yerusalem kɛjɛ afi 1070 kɛyashi 607 D.Ŋ.B., kɛkɛ ni atsu Nyɔŋmɔ fɔbuu kojomɔ he nii ashi nakai maŋtsɛyeli lɛ ejaakɛ eyadi nɔ fɔŋ feemɔ sɛɛ. No hewɔ lɛ Yehowa je shishi akɛ eeeha egbalɛ ni yɔɔ Ezekiel 21:32 aba mli: “Butumɔ, butumɔ, butumɔ mabutu [shikpɔŋ nɔ Yerusalem] lɛ; ni enɛ hu [maŋtsɛtso ni yɔɔ David wekukpaa lɛ mli lɛ] ehiŋ shi kɛyashi beyinɔ ni mɔ gbɛnaa ni ji lɛ aaaba, ni maŋɔ ha lɛ!”
6, 7. Mɛɛ be ni yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ “mɔ gbɛnaa ni ji” lɛ baapue?

7 Sɛɛ mli aaafee afii 600 lɛ, Maŋtsɛ David seshinyo ko, Yudayoo obalayoo folo Maria baŋɔ hɔ ko ni jɛ mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ. Nyɔŋmɔ tsu bɔfo Gabriel koni eyakɛɛ Maria akɛ ebaafɔ binuu, ni abaatsɛ lɛ Yesu. Gabriel kɛfata he akɛ: “Eeetsɔ agbo, ni aaatsɛ lɛ Ŋwɛinyo lɛ Bi, ni Nuŋtsɔ [Yehowa] Nyɔŋmɔ aaaŋɔ etsɛ David maŋtsɛsɛi lɛ aha lɛ. Ni eeeye Yakob we lɛ nɔ maŋtsɛ kɛaatee naanɔ, ni emaŋtsɛyeli lɛ sɛɛ efoŋ.”—Luka 1:31-33.
8. Yesu jie ehe kpo akɛ eji mɔ ni sa akɛ enine shɛɔ David maŋtsɛyeli lɛ nɔ yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ?

(Mateo 4:23; 10:7, 11) Yesu ba ehe shi, kɛtee sɛŋmɔtso nɔ gbele mli po, ni ekɛjie ehe kpo akɛ esa kwraa akɛ enine shɛɔ David maŋtsɛyeli lɛ nɔ. Yehowa tee Yesu shi akɛ mumɔŋ gbɔmɔ ni gbooo dɔŋŋ, ni ewo enɔ gojoo kɛtee lɛ diɛŋtsɛ E-ninejurɔ nɔ yɛ ŋwɛi. Jɛmɛ ji he ni akɛ hegbɛ ni David maŋtsɛyeli lɛ yɔɔ lɛ fɛɛ wo edɛŋ yɛ. Yɛ be ni sa mli lɛ Yesu kɛ nɛkɛ hegbɛ nɛɛ baatsu nii akɛ: “Ye lumɔ yɛ ohenyɛlɔi lɛ ateŋ!”—Lala 110:1, 2; Filipibii 2:8, 9; Hebribii 10:13, 14.
9. Te feɔ tɛŋŋ ni Yesu kɛ David samfele lɛ tsuɔ nii ni ekɛgbeleɔ ni ekɛŋaa hu lɛ?
9 Dani enɛ aaaba lɛ Yesu kɛ David samfele lɛ baatsu nii koni ekɛgbele hegbɛi ni kɔɔ Nyɔŋmɔ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ he lɛ eha. Yehowa baatsɔ Yesu nɔ agbɛnɛ ni ejie Kristofoi ni afɔ amɛ mu ni yɔɔ shikpɔŋ nɔ lɛ “kɛjɛ duŋ hewalɛ lɛ mli,” ni ekɛ amɛ aya “esuɔmɔ Bi lɛ maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli.” (Kolosebii 1:13, 14) Akɛ samfele lɛ hu baatsu nii koni akɛtsi hegbɛi ni tamɔ nɛkɛ ni mɛi ni yeee lɛ anɔkwale lɛ aaana lɛ naa. (2 Timoteo 2:12, 13) Akɛni Yehowa fiɔ nɛkɛ David maŋtsɛyeli lɛ naanɔ gboshiniyelɔ nɛɛ sɛɛ hewɔ lɛ, bɔɔ nɔ ko bɛ ni baatsi lɛ gbɛ yɛ enitsumɔi nɛɛ ahe nitsumɔ mli.—Okɛto Mateo 28:18-20 he.
10. Mɛɛ ekaawoo Yesu kɛha asafo ni yɔɔ Filadelfia lɛ?
10 Akɛni Yesu wiemɔi ni akɛmaje Kristofoi ni yɔɔ Filadelfia nɛɛ jɛ jɛɛhe ko ni nɔ kwɔ grɔŋŋ hewɔ lɛ, belɛ esa akɛ efee miishɛjemɔ sane krɛdɛɛ! Ejieɔ amɛyi akɛ: “Mile onitsumɔi lɛ; naa mikɛ shinaa ni agbele ema ohiɛ, ni mɔ ko nyɛŋ aŋa; ejaakɛ hewalɛ fioo oyɔɔ, shi oye miwiemɔ lɛ nɔ, ni okwako migbɛi lɛ.” (Kpojiemɔ 3:8) Asafo lɛ kɛ ekaa etsu nii ni agbele shinaa yɛ ehiɛ—ŋwanejee ko bɛ he akɛ eji hegbɛ shinaa kɛha sɔɔmɔ nitsumɔ. (Okɛto 1 Korintobii 16:9; 2 Korintobii 2:12 he.) No hewɔ lɛ, Yesu woɔ asafo lɛ hewalɛ koni eŋɔ hegbɛ fɛɛ ni ena akɛ ekɛaashiɛ lɛ.

(2 Korintobii 12:10; Zakaria 4:6) Amɛbo Yesu famɔ lɛ toi ni amɛkwako Kristo, kɛtsɔ wiemɔ loo nifeemɔ nɔ.
“Ni Amɛaakoto Bo”
11. Mɛɛ jɔɔmɔ Yesu kɛwo Kristofoi lɛ ashi, ni enɛ ba mli yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ?
11 No hewɔ lɛ, Yesu wo yibiiwoo shi eha amɛ akɛ: “Naa, mikɛ mɛi komɛi ni jɛ Satan kpee he lɛ ni kɛɔ akɛ Yudafoi ji amɛ, shi ebɛ mli, shi malemɔ moŋ amɛmaleɔ lɛ miiha; naa, maha amɛba ni amɛbakoto onaji anaa, ni amɛle akɛ mi lɛ misumɔɔ bo.” (Kpojiemɔ 3:9) Ekolɛ, Yudafoi ni yɔɔ maŋ lɛ mli lɛ miigba asafo lɛ naa taakɛ eji yɛ Smirna lɛ. Yesu wie mɛnɛɛmɛi ahe akɛ “Satan kpeehe.” Ni kɛlɛ, kɛ hooo lɛ nakai Yudafoi lɛ ateŋ mɛi komɛi miihe ayoo akɛ nɔ ni Kristofoi lɛ shiɛɔ yɛ Yesu he lɛ ji anɔkwale lɛ. No hewɔ lɛ ‘shi ni amɛkotoɔ’ lɛ baatamɔ bɔ ni Paulo tsɔɔ mli yɛ 1 Korintobii 14:24, 25 lɛ, no hewɔ lɛ amɛtsakeɔ amɛtsui diɛŋtsɛ ni amɛbatsɔmɔɔ Kristofoi, ni amɛhiɛ basɔɔ Yesu suɔmɔ kpele ni eyɔɔ ni no ha ekɛ esusuma ha po yɛ ekaselɔi lɛ ahewɔ lɛ.—Yohane 15:12, 13.
12. Mɛni hewɔ eka shi faŋŋ akɛ Yudafoi akpee he ni yɔɔ Filadelfia lɛ mlibii lɛ anaa baakpɛ amɛhe akɛ amɛaanu akɛ ‘amɛbaakoto shi’ amɛha Kristofoi akuu ni yɔɔ nakai maŋ lɛ mli lɛ?

Ejaakɛ Yesaia gba akɛ: “Ni maŋtsɛmɛi [ni jeee Yudafoi] aaatsɔmɔ [Israelbii] lɛ kwɛlɔi, ni amɛmaŋnyɛmɛi lɛ aaatsɔmɔ ofufɔhalɔi; amɛaakoto bo ni amɛkɛ amɛhiɛ aaabumɔ shi.” (Yesaia 49:23; 45:14; 60:14) Nakai nɔŋŋ hu akɛ mumɔ tsirɛ Zakaria koni eŋma akɛ: “Nakai gbii lɛ amli lɛ, aaaba mli akɛ hii nyɔŋma [ni jeee Yudafoi] ni jɛ jeŋmaji anɔ wiemɔi sɔrɔtoi fɛɛ mli aaamɔ Yudanyo kome atade naamuu mli, amɛaakɛɛ akɛ: Wɔkɛ nyɛ aaatee; ejaakɛ wɔnu akɛ Nyɔŋmɔ kɛ nyɛ yɛ!” (Zakaria 8:23) Hɛɛ, mɛi ni jeee Yudafoi aaakula shi aha Yudafoi, shi jeee nɔ ni tamɔɔɔ nakai!
13. Namɛi ji Yudafoi ni gbalɛi ni agba aha blema Israel baaba mli yɛ amɛnɔ lɛ?
13 Agba nakai gbalɛi lɛ atsɔɔ Nyɔŋmɔ maŋ ni ehala amɛ lɛ. Beni akɛ gbalɛi lɛ ha lɛ, no mli lɛ heloo naa Israel yɛ nakai gbɛhe ni woo yɔɔ mli lɛ mli. Shi beni Yudafoi amaŋ lɛ kpoo Mesia lɛ, Yehowa shɛ amɛ efɔ. (Mateo 15:3-9; 21:42, 43; Luka 12:32; Yohane 1:10, 11) Yɛ Pentekoste, afi 33 Ŋ.B. lɛ, ehala anɔkwa Israel ni jɛ Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ, Kristofoi asafo lɛ, eto amɛnajiaŋ.

Naa, miiba oya; hiɛmɔ nɔ ni oyɔɔ lɛ mli ni awa, koni mɔ ko akashɔ okekere lɛ.” (Kpojiemɔ 3:10, 11) Eyɛ mli akɛ Kristofoi ni yɔɔ Yohane gbii lɛ amli lɛ ehiŋ shi kɛbashiŋ Nuŋtsɔ lɛ gbi lɛ (ni je shishi yɛ 1914) lɛ mli moŋ, shi amɛhekɛnɔfɔɔ akɛ Yesu miiba lɛ baaha amɛ hewalɛ ni amɛya nɔ amɛshiɛ.
