 “NƆ̃ HAMƆ mli yɛ miishɛɛ babaoo fe hemɔ.” (Bɔfoi lɛ Asaji 20:35, NW) Yesu wiemɔi nɛɛ maa anɔkwale ni he hiaa nɛɛ nɔ mi: Nyɔmɔwoo yɛ suɔmɔ ni pɛsɛmkunya bɛ mli lɛ mli.

³ Wɔ-Nyɔŋmɔ ni yɔɔ suɔmɔ lɛ miisumɔ ni wɔbɔ mɔdɛŋ ni wɔtamɔ lɛ, titri lɛ, yɛ suɔmɔ ni wɔɔjie lɛ kpo lɛ mli. Efesobii 5:1, 2 gbaa wɔ akɛ: “Nyɛfea Nyɔŋmɔ kaselɔi, tamɔ bii ni asumɔɔ, ni nyɛnyiɛa yɛ suɔmɔ mli.” Kɛ́ wɔkase Yehowa suɔmɔ kpojiemɔ lɛ he nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, wɔnáa miishɛɛ kpele ni jɛɔ nɔ̃ hamɔ mli kɛbaa lɛ mli niiashikpamɔ.

Susumɔ bɔ ni Nyɔŋmɔ Wiemɔ lɛ maa anɔkwalei nɛɛ anɔ mi lɛ he okwɛ.

⁵ Yɛ Yesu shikpɔŋ nɔ shihilɛ lɛ naagbee gbɛkɛ lɛ mli lɛ, ekɛɛ esɛɛnyiɛlɔi lɛ akɛ: “Kitã hee miŋɔhaa nyɛ, akɛ nyɛsumɔ nyɛhe; taakɛ bɔ ni misumɔ nyɛ lɛ, nakai nyɛ hu nyɛsumɔa nyɛhe. Kɛji nyɛsumɔɔ nyɛhe lɛ, no mɛi fɛɛ kɛaale akɛ mikaselɔi ji nyɛ.” (Yohane 13:34, 35) “Taakɛ bɔ ni misumɔ nyɛ lɛ”—hɛɛ, aafã wɔ koni wɔjie suɔmɔ ni Yesu jie lɛ kpo lɛ eko kpo. Yɛ Yitso 29 lɛ mli lɛ, wɔna akɛ Yesu fee he-kɛ-afɔleshaa suɔmɔ ni nɔ bɛ he nɔkwɛmɔnɔ, ni ekɛ mɛi ahiamɔ nii kɛ nɔ ni amɛsumɔɔ ye lɛ diɛŋtsɛ enɔ lɛ hiɛ.

(The Amplified Bible) Ani ejeee nɔ ni yɔɔ faŋŋ akɛ Yehowa Wiemɔ lɛ maa bɔ ni ehe hiaa ni ajie suɔmɔ kpo lɛ nɔ mi waa?

¹⁰ ‘Suɔmɔ nyaa anɔkwale he.’ Shishitsɔɔmɔ kroko kɛɔ akɛ: “Suɔmɔ . . . kɛ miishɛɛ kpɛtɛɔ anɔkwale lɛ he.” Suɔmɔ tsirɛɔ wɔ ni wɔkpɛtɛɔ anɔkwale lɛ he ni ‘wɔkɛ mɔ fɛɛ mɔ wieɔ anɔkwale.’ (Zakaria 8:16) Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, kɛ́ suɔlɔ ko kɛ ehe yawo esha ni hiɛdɔɔ yɔɔ mli lɛ mli lɛ, suɔmɔ ni wɔyɔɔ kɛha Yehowa—kɛ mɔ ni etɔ̃—lɛ baaye abua wɔ koni wɔkpɛtɛ Nyɔŋmɔ shishitoo mlai ahe fe ni wɔɔbɔ mɔdɛŋ ni wɔtsimɔ nɔ, wɔtao naajiemɔ, loo wɔmale yɛ efɔŋfeemɔ lɛ he.
