La Ga Niitiɛ Ɛ Lɛ Kwɛ̃ni

1. Tei Jehova de ɓɛtɛni zobo sɛɓɛi e feeni de ya, tɔwɔ zɛɓɛ ʋaa ma?

JEHOVAH made us in the way that we able to think, learn new things, and know how to apply what we learn. Why he made us like that? Because He want us to “find the knowledge of God,” and be able to make good decisions base on what we know about him.—Prov. 2:​1-5; Rom. 12:1.

2. (a) Zɛɓɛi maa nɛɛ de kwɛ̃ɛ e vile ɓɔɔ va? (Job 37:23, 24) (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa footei va.) (b) Zɛɓɛi e kɛɛ maa nɛɛ de gaa-ɣa ga dɛlɛ ga dɔ fai pɛ kwɛ̃ɛ?

² Even though Jehovah make us to learn plenty things, but to talk the truth, we not know everything. (Read Job 37:​23, 24.) Let look at Job example. Jehovah ask Job plenty questions that make Job to understand that he not know plenty things. That question dem help Job to be humble and change his thinking. (Job 42:​3-6) We ourself too can benefit when we humble to accept that we not know everything. When we understand this one good-good, it will help us to trust that Jehovah will tell us what we really need to know so we can make good decisions.—Prov. 2:6.

3. Zɛɓɛi de vaazu yɛpɛzu e vile ba kɔlɔ zɛvɛi nii zu?

³ In this article, we will talk about some thing dem we not know and the problem dem we can face because of that. We will also learn why it good that we not know certain things. The thing dem we will learn will really convince us that Jehovah, “the One perfect in knowledge,” can tell us what we really need to know.—Job 37:16.

A DƐ LƐ ŊETEA ƔAA ƁELA FOLOI WƐ̃NI

4. E ɣɛ velei Maf 24:36 boga la, gaamai ta ɣa ga zɛɓɛ dɛ lɛ kwɛ̃ni?

⁴ Read Matthew 24:36. We not know the time this world will end. Even when Jesus wor on earth, he never knew the “day and the hour.”a Later on he tell his apostle dem say, that Jehovah can decide what time certain thing will happen. (Acts 1:​6, 7) Jehovah na set his own time for this world to end. But we not know the main time it will happen.

5. Tei dɛ lɛ ŋetea ɣaa ɓela foloi wɛ̃ni, na ɣa faa vɛɛ de va ɣɛ le?

⁵ According to what Jesus say, we not know how long it will take before the end come. Because of that, maybe we will not be patient or maybe we will get discourage, especially if we been waiting for Jehovah day for some time now. Or maybe it will be hard for us to bear it because our family members or other people making fun out of us. (2 Pet. 3:​3, 4) Maybe we will start feeling that if we know the main day the end will come, we will be more patient and we will be able to bear it even if people make fun out of us.

6. Zɛɓɛi e kɛɛ fize-wogɛi ga dɛ lɛ ŋetea ɣaa ɓela foloi wɛ̃ni?

⁶ Jehovah not show us the main time the end will come. So it give us the opportunity to show that we serving him because we love him and trust him. We not serving Jehovah because we get special day in mind, but we want do it forever. So instead of focusing on the time Jehovah day will come, we must focus on the good-good thing dem that will happen when that day come. If we do it, we will continue to draw close to God, and do what we able to do to make him happy.—2 Pet. 3:​11, 12.

7. Zɛɓɛi de kwɛ̃ni?

⁷ It will be good for us to focus on what we know. For example, we know that the last days started in 1914. Jehovah na tell us some thing dem that prove that the last days started that year, and he also tell us how things wor coming be in the world since that time. Because of that, we convince that “the great day of Jehovah is near.” (Zeph. 1:14) We also know the work that Jehovah want us to do. And that work that to preach the “good news about the Kingdom.” (Matt. 24:14) We preaching the good news in 240 countries and we doing it in more than 1,000 languages. We not need to know the “day and the hour” before we get zeal to do this important work.

DƐ LƐ KWƐ̃NI NII JEHOVA VAA KƐƐZU

8. Nii Gala Kɔlɔi boga ga “gaama Ɣalagi na tii” su-wulo-zu ɣa ga zɛɓɛ? (Ecclesiastes 11:5)

⁸ We will not always know “the work of the true God.” (Read Ecclesiastes 11:5.) “The work of the true God” mean the thing dem Jehovah made to happen or he allow to happen so his will can be done. We not know the reason why Jehovah can allow certain thing to happen or the main way he will help us. (Ps. 37:5) The way the big-big book people dem not really understand how the child can grow inside the ma stomach, that same way we will not really understand how Jehovah can do things.

9. Tei dɛ lɛ kwɛ̃ni nii Jehova vaa kɛɛzu, na ɣa kɛ de ɣi-gaa-ziɛ ɣɛ le?

⁹ Because we not know the main way Jehovah will help us, sometime we can’t be sure about the kindna decision to make. For example, maybe it will be hard for us to make sacrifice to do more in the field service, like making our life simple or going to where they need more people to preach. Let say we not reach our spiritual goals or we not seeing good results in the field service. Or we working on special construction projects for the organization and we facing some problems. Sometime all this one dem can make us feel that God not happy with us.

10. Tuɓo-vele vagɔi taniga ta ga zɛɓɛ da maa woli tei dɛ lɛ kwɛ̃ni nii Jehova vaa kɛɛzu?

¹⁰ Because we not know the main way Jehovah will help us, it can make us to be humble and know our limit. It can help us to understand that the way Jehovah can think and do things better than us. (Isa. 55:​8, 9) We can also learn to put all our trust in Jehovah and depend on him for help. When we get good results in the field service or from working on construction, it can bring praise to Jehovah. (Ps. 127:1; 1 Cor. 3:7) But if things not happen the way we wor expecting it, we must remember that Jehovah can see everything. (Isa. 26:12) We must just do our part and continue to trust that Jehovah will always help us. We can be sure that he will always tell us what to do, even if he not perform miracle like the way he use to do it way back.—Acts 16:​6-10.

11. Zɛɓɛi de kwɛ̃ni e vile Jehova va ga ya ɓɔ de va?

¹¹ We know that Jehovah fair, he wise and he will always love us. We know that he really value the thing dem we can do for him and our brother and sister dem. And we know that Jehovah can always bless the people who remain faithful to him.—Heb. 11:6.

DƐ LƐ KWƐ̃NI NIITIƐ TE VAAZU ƔƐƐZU NAA LUOI ZU

12. Zɛɓɛi da maa woli nii zu Jĩi 4:13, 14 boga?

¹² Read James 4:​13, 14. To talk the truth, we not know how our life will be tomorrow. In this world, thing dem we not expecting can happen to us. (Eccl. 9:11) Because of that, we not know whether the thing dem we plan to do will happen, or whether we will live to finish the thing dem we plan to do.

13. Tei dɛ lɛ kwɛ̃ni niitiɛ te vaa ɣɛɛzu naa luoi zu, na ɣa kɛ de ɣi-gaa-ziɛ ɣɛ le?

¹³ Because we not know what will happen to us in life, sometime it can’t really be easy. So maybe we can be worrying about what will happen, and it can make us to not be happy. Thing dem we not expecting can just happen and it can really make us to feel bad. And when things not happen the way we expecting it, it can make us to be discourage.—Prov. 13:12.

14. Zɛɓɛi maa nɛɛ de kwɛ̃ɛ, na ɣa ɣɛɛna diɛ kɛ ga de kuuzu nɛɛ maa zɔlɔwo? (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa footei va.)

¹⁴ No matter what happen in our life, we can prove that we serving Jehovah because we love him. Some story dem in the Bible show that we must not expect Jehovah to protect us from all our problem dem, or feel that he can plan all the thing dem that will happen to us in life. He know that our happiness not depend on knowing all the thing dem that will happen to us in the future. But it depend on asking God for direction and obeying him. (Jer. 10:23) When we depend on him when we making decisions, we will be saying: “If Jehovah wills, we will live and do this or that.”—Jas. 4:15.

15. Zɛɓɛi de kwɛ̃ni ga tɔ vaazu ɣɛɛzu?

¹⁵ We not know what will happen every day. But we know that Jehovah will give us everlasting life, whether in heaven or on earth. We know that he can’t lie and nothing can stop him from doing all the thing dem he promise to do. (Titus 1:2) That only him can “foretell the outcome, and from long ago the things that have not yet been done.” That what happen way back, and that what will happen again in the future. (Isa. 46:10) We know for sure that nothing can stop Jehovah from loving us. (Rom. 8:​35-39) He will give us the wisdom, comfort, and strength we need to bear any problem we will face. We can be sure that Jehovah will help us and bless us.—Jer. 17:​7, 8.

DƐ LƐ ZOO GA DƆ GAA-ƔA VELEI JEHOVA DE WƐ̃NI LA

16. E ɣɛ velei Psalm 139:1-6 boga la, zɛɓɛi Jehova kwɛ̃ni e vile de va?

¹⁶ Read Psalm 139:​1-6. Our Creator know everything about us. He know what we can think on and how we can feel. He know the thing dem we can say and the thing dem that in our heart. He also know the thing dem we can do and why we can do it. King David say that Jehovah always ready and able to help us. How it make you feel to know that the Almighty God who made the heaven and the earth, can take care of us? That why David say: “Such knowledge is too amazing for me. It is too much for me to fathom.”—Ps. 139:​6, footnote.

17. Zɛɓɛi e kɛɛ na ɣa ɓaa ga, de laala ga Jehova de wɛ̃ni ɓɔɔ ga pagɔ?

¹⁷ Maybe our family background, our culture, or the thing dem we belief before, can make it hard to see Jehovah to be our loving Father who get interest in us. Or maybe we feel that the mistake dem we make before so bad that Jehovah not want see us seh, or he not even get time for us. That the same way David use to feel sometime. (Ps. 38:​18, 21) Or maybe the person who trying to change and live by God laws will start thinking, ‘If God really know me, why he want me to stop doing things that I really like?’

18. Ani da kwɛ̃ɛ na ga Jehova de wɛ̃ni ɓɔɔ ga pagɔ, ma wulo nu-mai ɣa ga zɛɓɛ? (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa footeitiɛ va.)

¹⁸ We can learn to accept that Jehovah know us good-good more than we know ourself, and he can see the good in us that we ourself can’t see. Even though he can see our mistake dem and understand why we can feel and act certain way, he still love us. (Rom. 7:15) When we accept that Jehovah can see the good in us, it will give us the strength to be faithful to him and be happy.

19. Zɛɓɛi de kwɛ̃ni e vile Jehova va?

¹⁹ We know that Jehovah is love. And we really convince about it. (1 John 4:8) We know that all the thing dem he tell us to do that because he love us and he want us to always enjoy our life. We know that Jehovah want us to get everlasting life. To make this one possible, he send his son to die for us. Because Jesus die for us, we can be sure that we can remain faithful to Jehovah even though we not perfect. (Rom. 7:​24, 25) And we know that “God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.” (1 John 3:​19, 20) Jehovah know everything about us, and he trust us that we able to do all the thing dem he tell us to do.

20. Zɛɓɛi ya ɓɔ de va ga de mɛ lɛ ɣi-gaa-ziɛ ga tamaa e vile niitiɛ va dɛ lɛ kwɛ̃ni?

²⁰ Jehovah na give us all the information we really need. So when we humble and accept it, we will not worry too much about the thing dem we not know. But we will focus on what really important. When we do it, we will show that we really trust Jehovah, “the One perfect in knowledge.” (Job 36:4) That true, we will not really understand everything now-now. But in the future, we will learn more about our Great God Jehovah, and he will teach us plenty new-new thing dem forever.—Eccl. 3:11.
