a Ngokomzekelo, amaYoruba aseNigeria ngokwesithethe akholelwa ekuveleni ngokutsha komphefumlo. Ngoko xa umama elahlekelwa ngumntwana, uba buhlungu kakhulu kodwa okwethutyana elifutshane kuphela, kuba njengokuba intetho yamaYoruba isitsho: “Ngamanzi achithakeleyo. Iselwa alaphukanga.” Ngokutsho kwamaYoruba, oku kuthetha ukuba iselwa aphuma kulo amanzi, umama, unokuphinda azale omnye umntwana—mhlawumbi ukuvela ngokutsha kwalowo ufileyo. AmaNgqina kaYehova akalandeli naziphi na izithethe ezisekelwe kwiinkolo ezivela kwiingcamango zobuxoki zokungafi komphefumlo nokuvela ngokutsha, ezingasekelwanga eBhayibhileni.—INtshumayeli 9:5, 10; Hezekile 18:4, 20.
