Anie Edi Jehovah?
Se Bible ọdọhọde
Bible ọdọhọ ke Jehovah edi ata Abasi, ke enye okobot kpukpru n̄kpọ. (Ediyarade 4:11) Enye edi Abasi Abraham, Moses, ye Jesus. (Genesis 24:27; Exodus 15:1, 2; John 20:17) Enye edi Abasi ke “ofụri isọn̄,” idịghe ke obio kiet kpọt.—Psalm 47:2.
Bible ọdọhọ n̄ko ke ata Abasi ikpọn̄ ekere Jehovah. (Exodus 3:15; Psalm 83:18) Enyịn̄ emi edi ikọ Hebrew emi ọwọrọde “akabade edi.” Ndusụk mbon emi ẹkpepde n̄kpọ ẹban̄a Bible ẹdọhọ ke enyịn̄ esie emi ọwọrọ, “Enye Anam Akabade Edi.” Se mmọ ẹtịn̄de emi odot ye Jehovah ke ntak kpukpru se enye anamde. Jehovah okobot kpukpru n̄kpọ, enye esinyụn̄ anam kpukpru se enye aduakde. (Isaiah 55:10, 11) Bible anam idiọn̄o n̄ko utọ Abasi emi Jehovah edide. Enye enen̄ede etịn̄ nte Jehovah enyenede ima.—Exodus 34:5-7; Luke 6:35; 1 John 4:8.
Mbon Hebrew ẹsiwet enyịn̄ Abasi ntem, יהוה (YHWH). Ẹkot abisi inan̄ emi Tetragrammaton. Abisi inan̄ emi ke ẹkabade ke Ikọmbakara nte Jehovah. Owo idiọn̄ọke nte mbon Hebrew ke ata eset ẹkesikotde enyịn̄ Abasi. Edi enen̄ede ebịghi mbakara ẹkekabade enyịn̄ Abasi nte Jehovah. Akpa Bible emi ẹkụtde Jehovah edi enye emi William Tyndale akakabarede ke 1530. a
Ntak emi owo mîdiọn̄ọke nte mbon Hebrew eset ẹkesikotde enyịn̄ Abasi?
Ẹkesida mme anana-uyo abisi ẹwet usem Hebrew eset. Nditọ Hebrew ini oro ẹma ẹsidiọn̄ọ mme enyene-uyo abisi emi ẹkpedọn̄de ke ikọ kiet kiet. Edi ke ẹma ẹkewet N̄wed Abasi Usem Hebrew (emi ẹsikotde Akani Testament) ẹma, ndusụk mbon Jew ẹma ẹtọn̄ọ ndikere ke edi ata idiọkn̄kpọ ndikot enyịn̄ Abasi. Ke ini mmọ ẹkotde n̄wed Abasi ẹkesịm ebiet emi ẹsịnde enyịn̄ Abasi, mmọ ẹyedọhọ “Ọbọn̄,” m̀mê “Abasi,” utu ke ndikot ata enyịn̄ Abasi emi ẹwetde do. N̄kpọ emi ama ọtọn̄ọ sụn̄sụn̄ atara tutu mme owo idiọn̄ọke aba ata enyịn̄ Abasi. b
Ndusụk owo ẹkere ke ẹkesikot Abasi “Yahweh,” mbon eken ẹnyụn̄ ẹtịn̄ eke mmọ isio.

Ndusụk mbon Greek emi ẹkesiwetde n̄wed ke eset ẹkedọhọ n̄ko ke etie nte ẹkesikot Abasi Iae, I·a·beʹ, ye I·a·ou·eʹ, edi idụhe eke ekemede ndinen̄ede n̄wụt ke ndomokiet ke otu emi enen.

(Isaiah 42:8; Joel 2:32; Malachi 3:16; Rome 10:13) Bible ọdọhọ ke Abasi ama ayat esịt ye mme prọfet nsu oro ẹkeyomde ndinam mme owo ẹfre enyịn̄ esie.—Jeremiah 23:27.

a Tyndale ekewet enyịn̄ Abasi ntem, “Iehouah,” akpa ini emi enye akakabarede akpa n̄wed Bible ition. Nte ini akakade, Ikọmbakara ama ọtọn̄ọ ndikpụhọde, ndien ẹma ẹtọn̄ọ ndiwet enyịn̄ Abasi nte ẹwetde n̄kpọ mfịn. Ke uwụtn̄kpọ, ke 1612, Henry Ainsworth ekewet “Iehovah” ke ofụri n̄wed Psalm oro enye akakabarede. Edi ke ini enye akafiakde osio Bible oro ke 1639, enye ekewet enyịn̄ Abasi ntem, “Jehovah.” Kpasụk ntre n̄ko, mbon emi ẹkekabarede American Standard Version, emi ẹkesiode ke 1901, ẹkewet “Jehovah” ke ebiet emi ẹwetde Tetragrammaton ke n̄wed Abasi oro ẹkewetde ke usem Hebrew.
