Le Biblia ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, xɔsetɔ aɖewo kpɔ ŋuɖoɖo na woƒe gbedodoɖawo tẽ—le nukumɔ nu gɔ̃ hã. Le kpɔɖeŋu me, esime Fia Xizkiya kpɔ be yele dɔ lém ɖo kudo nu la, eƒo koko na Mawu be woaxɔ na ye. Mawu ɖo eŋu be: “Mese wò gbedodoɖa, eye mekpɔ wò aɖatsiwo, kpɔ ɖa, mayɔ dɔ wò.” (Fiawo II, 20:1-6) Ŋutsu kple nyɔnu Mawu vɔ̃la bubuwo kpɔ Mawu ƒe xɔname teƒe le mɔ sia tɔgbe ke nu.—Samuel I, 1:1-20; Daniel 10:2-12; Dɔwɔwɔwo 4:24-31; 10:1-7.

Gake ƒã hafi Mawu gena ɖe nyaa me le Biblia ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo gɔ̃ hã me.
