“Nyɛkwɛa . . . Odasefoi Heei 15,000!”

Toibolɔi 115,000 kpe yɛ August 1941 yɛ St. Louis yɛ Missouri, U.S.A., kɛha Yehowa Odasefoi akpee wulu ni atee kɛbashi nakai be lɛ mli lɛ mli nɔ ni da fe fɛɛ.

“Nyɛ fɛɛ . . . ni ji gbekɛbii ni ekpɛlɛ nɔ . . . akɛ nyɛaabo Nyɔŋmɔ kɛ e-Maŋtsɛ lɛ toi lɛ, nyɛfainɛ nyɛtea shi nyɛdamɔa shi.” Gbekɛbii lɛ te shi amɛdamɔ shi ákɛ kuu kome.

“Etamɔ Nɔ ni Amɛbashɛ Shi yɛ Be Naa Pɛpɛɛpɛ”

Yɛ afi 1970 afii amli lɛ, Yehowa Odasefoi fee woji etɛ hu amɛfata he, ni esa oblahii kɛ oblayei akpei ohai abɔ atsui he. Enɛɛmɛi ji Tsɔɔlɔ Kple lɛ Toiboo, Your Youth—Getting the Best out of It, kɛ Mi-Wolo ni Gbaa Biblia Mli Saji. Aje saji ni tsara nɔ ni ji “Young People Ask . . . ” (Oblahii kɛ Oblayei Biɔ Akɛ) lɛ shishi yɛ Awake! wolo tɛtrɛɛ lɛ mli yɛ afi 1982. Nɛkɛ saji nɛɛ étee gbekɛbii kɛ onukpai amiishɛɛ shi waa diɛŋtsɛ.

“Etsu Hɔmɔ ni Yeɔ Wɔ lɛ He Nii”

Yehowa Odasefoi fee nɔ kroko hu ni yɔɔ ebe naa ni tsɔɔ mɔ nii kɛha oblahii kɛ oblayei yɛ afi 1999, ni no ji—vidio ni ji Young People Ask—How Can I Make Real Friends?

Mɛni vidio lɛ enyɛ etsu? Oblahii kɛ oblayei kɛɛ akɛ: “Eye ebua mi koni makwɛ minaanyobɔɔ jogbaŋŋ, koni malɛɛ minaanyobɔɔ lɛ mli yɛ asafo lɛ mli, ni maha Yehowa afee minaanyo.” “Eye ebua mi koni mikɛ ekãa ate shi ashi mitipɛŋfoi.” “Ewaje mi jogbaŋŋ yɛ mifai shi ni mitswa akɛ masɔmɔ Yehowa bɔ fɛɛ bɔ ni manyɛ lɛ mli.” Ni gbalashihilɛ mli hefatalɔi komɛi wie akɛ: “Wɔmiijɛ wɔtsuii amli wɔmiida nyɛ shi akɛ nyɛkɛ nɛkɛ ‘niyenii’ nɛɛ eha wɔ. Etsu hɔmɔ ni yeɔ wɔ lɛ he nii.”
