⁸ Gbi ko lɛ, Abram ná niiashikpamɔ ko ni ehiɛ kpaaa nɔ kɔkɔɔkɔ. Enine shɛ shɛɛ ko nɔ kɛjɛ Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ dɛŋ!

⁹ Mɛɛ shɛɛ Yehowa kɛha Abram lɛ? ‘Jee oshikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ kɛ owekumɛi ateŋ kɛya shikpɔŋ ni matsɔɔ bo lɛ nɔ.’ Yehowa etsɔɔɔ shikpɔŋ pɔtɛɛ ni no mli lɛ eyɔɔ ejwɛŋmɔ mli lɛ—nɔ ni ekɛɛ pɛ ji akɛ ekɛbaatsɔɔ Abram.
