Siiquwaa qonccissiya issi ufayssiya qofay hagaadan gees: “Siiqoi danddayanchcha. Siiqoi kehees. Siiqoi qanaatenna. Ceeqettenna; qassi otorettenna. Siiqoi baassi bessennabaanne oottenna. Uuzettenna.

Siiqoi mulekka xayenna.”—1 Qoronttoosa 13:4-8.

Hegaa mala siiqoy “mulekka xayenna,” woykko ay wodekka deˈees. Ubbakka, siiqoy gamˈˈidi minni minnidi baana danddayees. Qassi he siiqoy danddayanchcha, kehanne maariyaagaa gidiyo gishshawu, wottiyoobi baynna ‘issippetettan shiishshi qachchees.’ (Qolasiyaasa 3:14) Yaatiyo gishshawu, hegaa mala siiquwaa siiqettiya asati nagaranchcha gidikkokka, woppu giidi ufayssan dabbotidi deˈoosona. Leemisuwawu, aqo laggetu issippetettaa qoppa.

Yesuus Kiristtoosi aqo deˈuwawu keehi koshshiya maarata tamaarissiis. Leemisuwawu, I hagaadan giis: “‘Issi asi ba aawaanne ba aayyiyo aggi bayidi, ba machcheera issippe de7ees; eti naa77ai issi asa gidoosona’ yaagiya qaalaa nabbabibeekketii? . . . Hegaa gishshau, Xoossai issippe gattidoogaa asi shaakkoppo.” (Maatiyoosa 19:5, 6) Keehi koshshiya naaˈˈa gidiya maarati hagan qonccidosona.

“ETI NAA77AI ISSI ASA GIDOOSONA.” Aqo laggetu dabbotay asassi aybippenne mata dabbota, qassi siiqoy he dabbotaa shunchchuwaappe, hegee azinay woy machchiyaa ba aqo lagge gidenna uraara ‘issi bolla’ gidiyoogaappe naagees.

Naati deˈikko, hegan eti banttana siiqennabadan qoppana, woy woppaa xayana, woy qassi yiillotana danddayoosona.

“XOOSSAI ISSIPPE GATTIDOOGAA.” Hegaa bollikka, aqo deˈoy geeshsha issippetetta. Hegaa bonchchiya aqo laggeti bantta aqo deˈuwaa minttanawu baaxetoosona. Metoy merettiyo wode eti bantta deˈuwaa laalanawu koyokkona. Eta siiqoy mino, qassi ufayssan genccees. Hegaa mala siiqoy nu aqo deˈuwan maayettidi sarotettan deˈanawu baaxetidi metuwaa pagalanaadan nuna maaddiyo gishshawu, “ubbabaa danddayees.”

Yelidaageeti bantta goˈˈaa aggibayidi siiqettiyoogee son naati deˈikko, naata keehi maaddees. Jesiko giyo yelagiyaa hagaadan gaasu: “Ta aawaynne aayyiyaa wozanappe siiqettoosonanne issoy issuwaa bonchchoosona. Ta aayyiyaa hara hanotaappekka aaruwan nunaara naatuura gayttidaagan ta aawaa bonchchiyoogaa taani beˈiyo wode, hegee ta O milatanawu koyanaadan oottees.”

Siiqoy Xoossawu waannatiya eeshsha. Ubba qassi Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Xoossai siiqo” yaagees. (1 Yohaannisa 4:8) Yaatiyo gishshawu, Yihooway “anjjettida” woykko ufayttiya Xoossakka geetettidoogee garamissenna.
