6. Mɛni Satan kɛ edaimonioi lɛ efee tsutsu ko, ni te esa akɛ wɔbu hewalɛ ni amɛyɔɔ lɛ wɔha tɛŋŋ?

⁶ Eji anɔkwale akɛ Satan kɛ edaimonioi lɛ ji adesai ahenyɛlɔi ní he yɔɔ oshara waa.

7. Mɛni Satan taoɔ ni wɔhe wɔye, ni te afee enɛ he nɔkwɛmɔnɔ aha tɛŋŋ?

⁷ Satan ji shishiumɔ tsɛ diɛŋtsɛ. Elakaa mɛi ni amɛsusuɔ akɛ eyɛ hewalɛ babaoo fe bɔ ni eyɔɔ diɛŋtsɛ. Ákɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ: Beni awuuɔ ta nyɛsɛɛ nɛɛ yɛ Afrika maŋ ko mli lɛ, asraafoi kɛ tsɔne ní awieɔ awoɔ mli ni egbɛɛɔ waa lɛ tsu nii ni amɛkɛwo amɛhenyɛlɔi lɛ ahe gbeyei.

8. Mɛni ji amale kome ko ni Satan woɔ he hewalɛ?

9. Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ jeee Satan haa naagba fɛɛ naagba baa yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ?

⁹ Eyɛ mli akɛ Satan yɛ hewalɛ ní ekɛhaa naagbai komɛi baa moŋ, shi eji tɔmɔ akɛ aaahe aye akɛ eyɛ hewalɛ ní ekɛhaa naagba fɛɛ naagba baa.

Ekolɛ ‘nibii komɛi ni aleee ni baa trukaa’ baaha enine anyɛ shi. Ekolɛ ebaatɛ ni ebaagbee shi, aloo hela baamɔ lɛ loo enane baalɔŋe. Nibii nɛɛ baanyɛ aba mɔ fɛɛ mɔ nɔ. Etsɔɔɔ doo akɛ nibii ni ba nɛɛ jɛ Satan loo eba kɛtsɔ mɔ ko ayɛkpɛmɔ nɔ; amɛba kɛkɛ.

Agbɛnɛ bi ohe akɛ: ‘Kɛji ayɛi nyɛɔ amɛfeɔ nakai lɛ, belɛ mɛni ji nɔ̃ diɛŋtsɛ ní shĩɔ gbɔmɔtso lɛ mli kɛyaa lɛ?’ Taakɛ wɔna lɛ, susuma lɛ ji gbɔmɔ lɛ, shi jeee nɔ ko ni baanyɛ ashĩ gbɔmɔtso lɛ mli kɛya.

13. (a) Ani ashwaifeemɔ ni akɛɛ akɛkuɔ sũu naa hi? (b) Mɛni Ŋmalɛi lɛ kɛɔ yɛ ŋkunyaayeli he?

¹³ Amale ni ji etɛ ji enɛ: Ŋkunyaayeli kpakpa​—ashwaifeemɔ ní akɛɔ akɛ akɛkuɔ sũu naa lɛ​—ji ekpakpa. Biblia lɛ kɛ srɔtofeemɔ ko baaa sũu hewalɛ kɛ ŋkunyaayeli kpakpa teŋ. Ebuɔ ŋkunyaayeli hewalɛ fɛɛ fɔ́. Susumɔ mla ni Yehowa kɛha Israel maŋ lɛ ni kɔɔ ŋkunyaayeli, kɛ mɛi ni kɛ amɛhe woɔ mli lɛ ahe lɛ he okwɛ:

15. Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ Yehowa he wa kwraa fe Satan yɛ mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ?

¹⁵ Eyɛ mli akɛ Biblia lɛ etsɔɔɔ nibii ni daimonioi lɛ baanyɛ afee kɛ nɔ ni amɛnyɛŋ amɛfee lɛ fɛɛ mli fitsofitso moŋ, shi etsɔɔ akɛ Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ he wa kwraa fe Satan kɛ edaimonioi lɛ. Yehowa hã ashɛ́ Satan efɔ̃ kɛjɛ ŋwɛi. (Kpojiemɔ 12:9) Kadimɔ hu akɛ Satan bi ní aŋmɛ lɛ gbɛ koni eka Hiob, ni ebo kɔkɔ ní Nyɔŋmɔ bɔ lɛ akɛ ekagbe Hiob lɛ toi.​—Hiob 2:4-6.

16. Namɔ nɔ esa akɛ wɔkɛ wɔhiɛ afɔ̃ kɛha hebuu?

¹⁶ Abɛi 18:10 lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: “Mɔ̃ɔ ni wa ji Yehowa gbɛi lɛ; no mli jalɔ sháa foi kɛyaa, ni ehiɔ shi shweshweeshwe.” No hewɔ lɛ esa akɛ wɔkɛ wɔhiɛ afɔ̃ Yehowa nɔ kɛha hebuu. Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji kɛ amɛhe efɔ̃ɔɔ ŋkunyaayeli loo tsofa-tsulɔi anɔ ní amɛbu amɛhe kɛjɛ nibii fɔji ni Satan kɛ edaimonioi lɛ feɔ lɛ amli, ni amɛsheee ŋkunyaayelɔi akablɛfĩi hu gbeyei. Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji heɔ nɔ ni Biblia lɛ kɛɔ lɛ amɛyeɔ, akɛ: “Yehowa yɔɔ nɛɛ, ehiŋmɛii kpaa shikpɔŋ muu lɛ fɛɛ nɔ, ni ejieɔ ehewalɛ kpo ehaa mɛi ni amɛtsui ehi kɛwula shi yɛ egbɛfaŋ lɛ.”​—2 Kronika 16:9.

17. Mɛɛ nɔmimaa Yakobo 4:7 lɛ kɛhaa wɔ, shi mɛni esa akɛ wɔfee?

¹⁷ Bo hu obaanyɛ oná hekɛnɔfɔɔ nɛɛ kɛji osɔmɔɔ Yehowa. Yakobo 4:7 lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: “No hewɔ lɛ nyɛbaa nyɛhe shi nyɛhaa Nyɔŋmɔ; nyɛtea shi nyɛwoa abonsam, ni eeejo nyɛnaa foi.” Kɛji osɔmɔɔ anɔkwa Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ, ni obaa ohe shi ohaa lɛ lɛ, no lɛ obaanyɛ oná nɔmimaa akɛ Yehowa baabu ohe.
