“Womatso Aƒe ɖe Afima Akpɔ O”

Nukae adzɔ ɖe Babilon dzi le eƒe anyidzedze vɔ megbe?

Ðo ŋku edzi be Yesaya ƒe agbalẽ bliboa katã nɔ Ƒukukua ƒe Agbalẽxatsaxatsa siwo wogblɔ be ƒe alafa evelia D.M.Ŋ. mee woŋlɔ wo la me.

Abe alesi wogblɔe ɖi ene la, Babilon va zu “anyiglãgo” mlɔeba. (Yeremya 51:37) Hebrigbenyala Jerome (ƒe alafa enelia M.Ŋ.) gblɔ be le ye ŋɔli la, Babilon nye adegbedeƒe si “lã ƒomevi ɖesiaɖe” ɖia tsa le.⁹ Babilon gakpɔtɔ nye dudo egbegbe.
