Jiova mek dɛn rayt bɔt dɛn pipul dɛn ya dɛn stori so dat dɛn go ɛnkɔrej wi, ɛn wi go lan frɔm dɛn.—Rom. 15:​4.

² Insay dis atikul, wi go tɔk bɔt sɔm pan Jiova in savant dɛn we bin gɛt prɔblɛm dɛn we bin de mek dɛn at pwɛl.

Di ansa dɛn to dɛn kwɛstyɔn dɛn ya go ɛp wi fɔ rili no se “PAPA GƆD [“Jiova,” NWT] de nia ɔl udat fil se i dɔn dɔn fɔ am” ɛn i “de ɛp udat fil se bɛtɛ nɔ de fɔ am igen.”—Sam 34:​18.

3-4. Wetin bin apin to Josɛf we in na bin yɔŋman?

³ Josɛf bin de arawnd 17 ia we Gɔd bin mek i drim tu drim dɛn. Dɛn drim dɛn de bin sho se Josɛf go bi impɔtant pɔsin we in famili go rɛspɛkt. (Jɛn. 37:​5-10) Bɔt shɔt tɛm afta we Josɛf bin drim dɛn drim dɛn de, bad tin dɛn bin apin to am. Da tɛm de, in brɔda dɛn nɔ bin rɛspɛkt am atɔl. So dɛn bin sɛl am, ɛn i bi slev to wan Ijipshian ɔfisa we nem Pɔtifa. (Jɛn. 37:​21-28) Josɛf in layf bin chenj kwik kwik wan. Insay shɔt tɛm, i nɔ bin de  na os igen wit in papa we lɛk am, bɔt in na bin slev we nɔ gɛt wan valyu na Ijipt. Ɛn i bin de wok fɔ wan man we nɔ bin sabi Jiova.—Jɛn. 39:​1.

⁴ Leta, Josɛf bin gɛt mɔ prɔblɛm dɛn, ɛn i bin ivin wɔs. Pɔtifa in wɛf bin lay se Josɛf tray fɔ rep am. Bifo Pɔtifa tray fɔ no di tru bɔt wetin apin, i mek dɛn put Josɛf na prizin, ɛn i mek dɛn chen am. (Jɛn. 39:​14-20; Sam 105:​17, 18) Josɛf bin yɔŋ da tɛm de, so imajin aw i go dɔn fil we Pɔtifa in wɛf bin lay pan am se i tray fɔ rep am. Ɛn tink bɔt aw da lay de go dɔn briŋ badnem pan Josɛf in Gɔd we na Jiova. Fɔ tru, ɔl dis na rizin we fɔ mek Josɛf in at pwɛl.

Bɔt di tin we bin impɔtant pas ɔl na dat Josɛf bin de du ɔl wetin go mek Jiova gladi ɔltɛm. So dat bin mek Jiova bin de blɛs ɔl wetin Josɛf bin de du.—Jɛn. 39:​21-23.

6. Aw Josɛf in drim dɛn go dɔn ɛnkɔrej am?

Ɛn na dat bin apin. We Josɛf bin de arawnd 37 ia, wɔndaful tin dɛn bin apin we sho se in drim dɛn bin dɔn stat fɔ kam tru.—Jɛn. 37:​7, 9, 10; 42:​6, 9.

7. Akɔdin to 1 Pita 5:​10, wetin go ɛp wi fɔ bia wi prɔblɛm dɛn?

⁷ Lɛsin dɛn fɔ wi. Josɛf in stori de mɛmba wi se pipul dɛn na dis wɔl go du wi bad, ɛn dɛn nɔ go trit wi fia wan.  Ɛn sɔntɛnde, ivin wi kɔmpin Kristian dɛn nɔ go trit wi fayn.

Mɛmba bak se Josɛf go dɔn de arawnd 17 ia we Jiova bin trit am spɛshal we. So dis sho wi se Jiova kin ivin gɛt kɔnfidɛns pan di yɔŋ wan dɛn we de sav am. Tide, bɔku yɔŋ wan dɛn tan lɛk Josɛf. Dɛnsɛf gɛt fet pan Jiova. Pipul dɛn dɔn mek sɔm pan dɛn ivin sɔfa na prizin bikɔs dɛn nɔ gri fɔ kɔmɔt biɛn dɛn Gɔd.—Sam 110:​3.

Naomi in at bin so pwɛl dat i bin se “dɛn nɔ fɔ kɔl am Naomi igen, we min se i gladi, dɛn fɔ kɔl am Mara bikɔs in layf bita. PAPA GƆD Ɔlmayti nɔ mek i gladi igen.” Afta ɔl dɛn bad tin dɛn ya bin dɔn apin to Naomi, i bin disayd fɔ go bak na Bɛtliɛm, ɛn Rut bin go wit am.—Ruth 1:​7, 18-20.

9. Akɔdin to Ruth 1:​16, 17, 22, aw Rut bin ɛnkɔrej Naomi?

⁹ Wetin bin ɛp Naomi? Na lɔv we nɔ de chenj. Fɔ ɛgzampul, Rut bin sho se i gɛt lɔv we nɔ de chenj fɔ Naomi bay we i bin kɔntinyu fɔ de wit am. (Rid Ruth 1:​16, 17, 22.) We dɛn bin de na Bɛtliɛm, Rut bin de wok tranga wan fɔ gɛda wan it we dɛn kɔl bali fɔ in ɛn Naomi. Dis tin we Rut bin de du bin mek ɔlman kam fɔ no se in na gud uman we de wok tranga wan.—Ruth 3:​11; 4:​15.

10. Aw Jiova bin sho se i lɛk di po wan dɛn lɛk Naomi ɛn Rut?

¹⁰ Jiova bin gi di Izrɛlayt dɛn wan lɔ we sho se i de sɔri fɔ di po wan dɛn lɛk Naomi ɛn Rut.

¹¹ Na Boaz we na bin wan jɛntriman bin gɛt di fil usay Rut bin de go gɛda tin fɔ it. I bin rili kɔle di we aw Rut nɔ bin kɔmɔt biɛn Naomi, ɛn aw i bin sho se i lɛk am. So Boaz bin mared Rut, ɛn i bay di land we Naomi in famili bin gɛt so dat Rut in yon pikin dɛn go gɛt dɛn land dɛn de leta. (Ruth 4:​9-13) Boaz ɛn Rut bin bɔn wan pikin we nem Obɛd, we bin leta bi Kiŋ Devid in granpa.—Ruth 4:​17.

¹² Imajin aw Naomi go dɔn gladi we i tot Obɛd, ɛn we i de pre to Jiova fɔ tɛl am tɛnki. Bɔt we Naomi ɛn Rut go gɛt layf bak, dɛn go gladi mɔ fɔ no se Obɛd na bin di Mɛsaya we na Jizɔs Krays in gret gret granpa.

15. Akɔdin to Sam 73:​16-19, 22-25, wetin bin ɛp di Livayt we rayt dis sam fɔ lɛ in at nɔ kɔntinyu fɔ pwɛl pasmak?

¹⁵ Rid Sam 73:​16-19, 22-25. Di Livayt bin “go insay PAPA GƆD in os.” We i bin de de wit in kɔmpin dɛn we de wɔship Jiova, i bin ebul fɔ gɛt kolat, ɛn fɔ tink ɛn pre bɔt wetin de apin to am.

So if yu si se yu dɔn stat fɔ milɛ wikɛd pipul dɛn fɔ wetin dɛn de ɛnjɔy, du wetin di Livayt bin du. Lisin to Gɔd in fayn advays, ɛn mek padi wit pipul dɛn we de du wetin Jiova want.

We wan grup bin kam fɔ arɛst Jizɔs, Pita nɔ bin tink bifo i kɔt di ay prist in slev in yes. (Jɔn 18:​10, 11) Jizɔs bin kɔrɛkt am bak. Apat frɔm dat, Pita bin bost se if di ɔda apɔsul dɛn lɛf Jizɔs, in nɔ go ɛva lɛf am. (Mat. 26:​33) Bɔt Pita nɔ bin gɛt di kayn maynd we i bin fil se i gɛt. Leta da nɛt de, i bin fred, ɛn i bin dinay se i nɔ sabi Jizɔs tri tɛm. Da tin de we Pita du bin mek in at rili pwɛl, so i bin “go na do ɛn kray bita bita wan.” (Mat. 26:​69-75) I go dɔn wɔnda if Jizɔs go ɛva fɔgiv am.

18. Aw Jizɔs bin ɛp Pita fɔ lɛ in at nɔ kɔntinyu fɔ pwɛl pasmak?

¹⁸ Bɔt Pita nɔ bin alaw in pwɛlat fɔ mek i lɛf fɔ sav Jiova. Afta we i mek da  mistek de, i bin kɔntinyu fɔ sav Jiova, ɛn wi lan se i bin de bak wit di ɔda apɔsul dɛn.
