“Prez PAPA GƆD [“Jiova,” NW] fɔ di wan dɛn we go fɛt we dɛn nɔ fos.”—DI JƆJ DƐM 5:2.
1, 2. (a) Wetin Ɛlifaz ɛn Bildad bin tɔk bɔt di we aw Gɔd de si di we aw wi de sav am? (b) Wetin Jiova bin tɔk bɔt dat?
TRADE trade, tri man dɛn bin go fɔ go tɔk to wan fetful man we bin de sav Gɔd. Di man in nem na Job. Wan pan di man dɛn nem Ɛlifaz. In na Timanayt. I bin aks Job sɔm kwɛstyɔn dɛn. I bin aks se: “Aw mɔtalman go ebul ɛp PAPA GƆD? Fɔ tru, pɔsin we gɛt sɛns go bɛnifit insɛf. Ɔlmayti PAPA GƆD go gladi if yu de waka tret, ɔ i go bɛnifit PAPA GƆD if yu tap fɔ sin sin?” (Job 22:1-3) Ɛlifaz bin rili tink se di ansa na nɔ. Wan ɔda man we nem Bildad, we na Shuayt, bin tɔk se i nɔ pɔsibul fɔ mek mɔtalman du wetin rayt na Gɔd in yay.—Rid Job 25:4.
Ɛni gud kwaliti ɔ gud tin we wi ebul fɔ du de kɔmɔt frɔm Gɔd, ɛn i kin notis aw wi de yuz am
2 Ɛlifaz ɛn Bildad bin de tray fɔ mek Job fil se ɔl di tray we i de tray fɔ sav Jiova na fɔ natin. Dɛn bin want mek Job biliv se wi nɔ gɛt wan valyu to Gɔd ɛn wi jɔs tan lɛk flay, tumbu, ɔ bilolo. (Job 4:19; 25:6) Fɔ se na bikɔs dɛn bin ɔmbul mek dɛn bin de tɔk so? (Job 22:29) Na tru se if dɛn kɔmpia wi to Jiova, wi rili smɔl to am ɛn in gɛt bɔku bɔku pawa. If wi de rayt ɔp wan mawnten ɔ wi de insay plen ɛn de luk na di winda, wi go si se wi rili smɔl ɛn nɔ ivin impɔtant. Bɔt fɔ se na da we de Jiova de fil bɔt di tray we wi de tray fɔ sav am ɛn wok tranga wan fɔ di Kiŋdɔm? Nɔ, nɔto so i bi! Jiova bin tɛl Ɛlifaz, Bildad, ɛn Zofa, se na lay dɛn bin de lay. I bin tɛl dɛn se i gladi fɔ wetin Job de du ɛn i bin ivin kɔl am in “wokman.” (Job 42:7, 8) So wi shɔ se pan ɔl we wi nɔ pafɛkt, wi go “ebul ɛp PAPA GƆD.”
“AW DAT GO ƐP PAPA GƆD”?
3. Wetin Ilaɛlu bin se bɔt di tray we wi de tray fɔ sav Jiova? Wetin i bin min?
3 Wan yɔŋ man we nem Ilaɛlu bin de lisin as Job ɛn di tri man dɛn de tɔk. We dɛn dɔn fɔ tɔk, Ilaɛlu bin aks Job bɔt Jiova se: “If yu na pɔsin we de waka tret, aw dat go ɛp PAPA GƆD, ɔ wetin PAPA GƆD de luk to yu fɔ gi am?” (Job 35:7) Fɔ se Ilaɛlu bin de tray fɔ se di tray we wi de tray fɔ sav Gɔd na fɔ natin? Nɔ, nɔto so i bi. Jiova nɔ bin kɔrɛkt Ilaɛlu lɛk aw i bin kɔrɛkt di ɔda man dɛn. Ilaɛlu bin de tɔk bɔt difrɛn tin. I bin de se Jiova nɔ nid wi fɔ wɔship am. Jiova nɔ nid ɛnitin frɔm ɛnibɔdi. Natin nɔ de we wi go du we go mek i jɛntri, ɔ we go mek i gɛt mɔ trɛnk. Infakt, ɛni gud kwaliti ɔ gud tin we wi ebul fɔ du de kɔmɔt frɔm Gɔd, ɛn i kin notis aw wi de yuz am.
4. Aw Jiova de fil we wi de du gud to ɔda pipul dɛn?
4 We wi de sho se wi lɛk fɔ de biɛn di wan dɛn we de wɔship Jiova, i de si am lɛk se na in wi de du am to. Prɔvabs 19:17 se: “If yu ɛp poman, i tan lɛkɛ we yu de trɔs PAPA GƆD [“Jiova,” NW] sɔntin; ɛn i go pe yu bak.” Jiova de notis ɛni tɛm we wi du gud to ɔda pipul dɛn. Ɛn pan ɔl we na Jiova mek ɔltin na di wɔl, i stil de si dɛn tin ya we wi de du lɛk se na trɔs wi trɔs am ɛn i go pe wi fayn. Jizɔs sɛf bin tɔk bɔt dat.—Rid Lyuk 14:13, 14.
5. Us kwɛstyɔn dɛn wi de kam tɔk?
5 Trade trade, Jiova bin tɛl di prɔfɛt Ayzaya fɔ tinap fɔ am ɛn fɔ sav am wan spɛshal we. (Ayzaya 6:8-10) Ayzaya bin gri fɔ du wetin Jiova tɛl am ɛn i bin tɔk se: “Luk mi!

Dɛn kin rɛdi fɔ go na difrɛn say dɛn ɛn du difrɛn tin dɛn fɔ sav Jiova pan ɔl we tin nɔ kin izi fɔ dɛn. Bɔt pɔsin go tɛl insɛf se: ‘A rili gladi fɔ di chans we Jiova dɔn gi mi fɔ wok fɔ am ilɛksɛf dɛn nɔ fos mi. Bɔt di tin dɛn we a de du rili impɔtant?

6. Wetin mek i bin tan lɛk se i go izi fɔ Jabin in sojaman dɛn fɔ win di Izrɛlayt dɛn?
6 Barak na bin Izrɛlayt fɛtman, ɛn Dɛbora na bin uman prɔfɛt. Fɔ 20 ia, wan Kenanayt kiŋ we nem Jabin bin de “du wikɛd wikɛd tin dɛn to di Izrɛlayt dɛn.” Jabin in sojaman dɛn bin so wikɛd dat di Izɛlayt dɛn we bin de na di vilej dɛn bin de fred fɔ ivin kɔmɔt na dɛn os dɛn. Jabin in sojaman dɛn bin gɛt 900 wɔ chariɔt dɛn we gɛt bled dɛn we dɛn kɔl Sayt. Dɛn mek dɛn bled ya wit ayɛn. Bɔt di Izrɛlayt dɛn nɔ bin gɛt di rayt wɛpɔn dɛn fɔ fɛt ɔ tin dɛn fɔ wɛr we go prɔtɛkt dɛn.—Di Jɔj Dɛm 4:1-3, 13; 5:6-8.a (Luk di futnot.)

7 Jabin in sojaman dɛn nɔ tan lɛk di Izrɛlayt dɛn we nɔ gɛt trɛnk ɛn we izi fɔ win pan fɛt. Bɔt Jiova bin yuz Dɛbora we na prɔfɛt fɔ tɛl Barak “fɔ gɛda tɛn tawzin man na di Naftali fambul ɛn Zɛbyulɔn fambul go Mawnt Tabɔ.” “PAPA GƆD se, in go mek Sisera we na di kɔmanda na Jabin in Ami, wit in karej [chariɔt] dɛn ɛn in sojaman dɛn, go fɛt dɛn nia Riva Kishɔn ɛn in PAPA GƆD go mek di Izrɛlayt dɛn bit Kiŋ Jabin in ami.”—Di Jɔj Dɛm 4:4-7.
8 Dɛn bin kɔl pipul dɛn fɔ kam fɔ fɛt, ɛn 10,000 man dɛn bin gɛda na Mawnt Tabɔ. Dɔn Barak ɛn in man dɛn bin go fɛt agens dɛn ɛnimi dɛn na di ples we dɛn kɔl Taanak. (Rid Di Jɔj Dɛm 4:14-16.) Yu tink se Jiova bin ɛp di Izrɛlayt dɛn? Yɛs, i bin ɛp dɛn. Wantɛm wantɛm big big briz ɛn ren bin mek di dray ples usay dɛn de fɛt tɔn to pɔtɔpɔtɔ. Dis bin ɛp di Izrɛlayt dɛn.

I kam dɔŋ ɛn rɔn go na Zananim, nia Kedɛsh. Na de Sisera go ayd na wan uman in os. Di uman nem Jeɛl. Sisera bin taya so i nɔ tu te na in i slip. Jeɛl bin gɛt maynd fɔ kil am we i bin de slip. (Di Jɔj Dɛm 4:17-21) Jiova dɔn ɛp di Izrɛlayt dɛn fɔ win dɛn ɛnimi dɛn!b (Luk di futnot.)
