E hi wawɛɛ kaa a ye a he. Si himi nɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ ya je mi ngɛ Egipt ɔ mi wa wawɛɛ. Baiblo ɔ tsɔɔ kaa, "ní tsumi eko tsuaa eko mi ɔ, a waa mɛ yi mi wawɛɛ." (2 Mose 1:11-14) Be ko ɔ, Egipt matsɛ ko po to blɔ nya nɛ e kɛ ma gbɔ Israel bi ɔmɛ a nɔ ejakaa a he ngɛ hiɛe.
Blɔ nɔ nɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ gu kɛ je nyɔguɛ yemi mi ngɛ Egipt ɔ sa kadimi, ejakaa Mawu nitsɛ lɛ tsu sane ɔ he ní. Mawu de Mose ke: "Niinɛ, i le a nɔ́ nami ɔ tsuo.

BE NƐ NYƆGUƐ YEMI SE MAA PO
Baiblo ɔ de ke, 'Yehowa wa Mawu ɔ sume kaa a plɛ dami sane hɛ mi ngɔ bu si.' Nɛ e tsɔɔ hu kaa Mawu tsakee we. (2 Kronika 19:7; Malaki 3:6) Mawu tsɔ Yesu kɛ ba konɛ e ba ha nɛ, 'nyɔguɛhi nɛ a ye a he . . . , nɛ e ba kpɔ nihi nɛ a ngɛ mɛ yi mi wae ɔ.' (Luka 4:18) Anɛ enɛ ɔ tsɔɔ kaa nyɔguɛ fɛɛ ko lɛ maa ye e he lo? Dɛbi. A tsɔ Yesu kɛ ba konɛ e ba kpɔ nihi kɛ je yayami kɛ gbenɔ nyɔguɛ yemi sisi. Yesu de ke: "Anɔkuale ɔ ma ha nyɛ maa ye nyɛ he." (Yohane 8:32) Anɔkuale ɔ nɛ Yesu tsɔɔ ɔ ha nɛ nihi ye a he mwɔnɛ ɔ ngɛ blɔ slɔɔtohi a nɔ.
Ngɛ anɔkuale mi ɔ, Mawu ye bua Yosef kɛ Blessing nɛ a ye a he ngɛ nyɔguɛ yemi mi ngɛ blɔ ekpaekpa nɔ. Ke o ngɛ sane nɛ kɔ Yosef he hlae ɔ, hyɛ Mose kekleekle womi ɔ yi 39 kɛ ya si 41. Mɔde nɛ Blessing bɔ kaa e ma ná he yemi ɔ hu sa kadimi wawɛɛ.
Benɛ a fie Blessing kɛ je Europa ma ko nɔ ɔ, e ho Spain ya. Lejɛ ɔ ji he nɛ e kɛ Yehowa Odasefohi kpe ngɛ nɛ e kɛ mɛ bɔni Baiblo ɔ kasemi. E fia e pɛɛ si kaa e maa pee tsakemi ngɛ e si himi mi.

E de Blessing ke e po hiɔ nɛ e ye lɛ ɔ mi, nɛ e kpa Blessing pɛɛ konɛ e ngɔ e tɔmi kɛ pa lɛ. Mɛni he je nɛ yo ɔ pee jã a? Ejakaa lɛ hu e kɛ Yehowa Odasefohi bɔni Baiblo ɔ kasemi! Blessing de ke, "Anɔkuale ɔ haa nɛ o yeɔ o he ngɛ blɔ slɔɔtohi a nɔ."
Benɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ ngɛ nyɔguɛ yemi mi ngɛ Egipt ɔ, e hao Yehowa Mawu wawɛɛ nitsɛ. Mwɔnɛ ɔ hu, ke Yehowa na dami sane nɛ a yi nɛ ngɛ nɔ yae ɔ, e dɔɔ lɛ. Ngɛ anɔkuale mi ɔ, loko nyɔguɛ yemi se maa po ɔ, e maa hia nɛ a pee tsakemi agbo ngɛ adesahi a si himi mi. Mawu wo si kaa e maa ngɔ tsakemi kaa jã kɛ ba. Baiblo ɔ de ke: "Wa ngɛ hiɔwe he, kɛ zugba he blɔ hyɛe kaa bɔ nɛ Mawu wo si ɔ. Lejɛ ɔ ji he nɛ a yeɔ dami sane ngɛ."
