(Psalm 83:18) We could not receive a gift from a higher source. 	 (Zinunö 83:19) Tenga sinangea tatema mbuala andrö moroi khö gumbu salawa.


(John 1:46) Nathanael probably knew that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, as the prophecy at Micah 5:2 had said. 	 (Yohane 1:46) Te iʼila Natanaʼeli wa ba Mbetilekhema dania tumbu Mesia, simane si no mufaʼeleʼö ba Mikha 5:2.


Also, many young people learn from other Christians when they go out preaching with them and do other things together. 	 Ato göi zi bohou ebua zamahaʼö yaʼira khö ndra talifusöda niha Keriso na fao ira manuriaigö hegöi na fao ira ba wamalua hadia ia.

MEMORIAL ATTENDANCE (2015) 	 SANGONDRASI FANÖRÖ TÖDÖ FAʼAMATE YESU (2015)


“HE HELD FAST TO JEHOVAH”—DESPITE HIS BACKGROUND 	 ”YEHOWA IʼOLEMBAI”


I continued to study the Bible for about a year. 	 Utohugö manö wamahaʼö yaʼo ba Zura Niʼamoniʼö ba zi döfi faʼara.


The fact that it’s easy doesn’t make it right.” 	 Awena aboto ba dödögu wa mosikho gamuata daʼö.”


Jehovah created us with free will, that is, he created us with the right to make choices and decisions on our own. 	 Yaʼita niha Keriso, tola tafili hadia zomasi ita tawaʼö, tafalua, hegöi niʼonukhada.


This article and the next are written especially for the elders, although all in the congregation should be interested in what is presented. 	 Famahaʼö ba zi dua migu andre, manandrösa khö ndra satua sokubaloi. Tobali, moguna göi tafahaʼö ita fefu.


When I was nine years old, our father got some books that explained how false religion has tricked people. 	 Me siwa fakhe ndröfigu, itema mbuku bapagu sanutunö wa no ilimo niha agama faya.


Yet, the Israelites were not grateful for the freedom that Jehovah gave them. 	 Hizaʼi, lö laʼandrö saohagölö iraono Gizaraʼeli ba wangefa nibeʼe Yehowa khöra.


It would be wise for them to learn from these older ones. 	 Hewaʼae simanö, moguna göi lafahaʼö ira khö ndra talifusöda si no alawa ndröfi.


10 Our daily need for forgiveness highlights the only legal basis on which God can cancel our sins—Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. 	 10 Taʼandrö saohagölö khö Yehowa börö me ibeʼe nononia Yesu tobali höli ba wangefaʼö horöda! Moguna taʼandrö wangefa horö ero maʼökhö.


(Romans 6:17) For example, what will we do if our employer expects us to work so much that we cannot be at our meetings regularly? 	 (Roma 6:17) Duma-dumania, hadia zinangea tafalua na imane kafaloda wa moguna oya tabeʼe ginötöda ba wohalöwö irege lö taʼila möi ba gangowuloa?


For example, Moses told the Israelites: “Jehovah your God will raise up for you from among your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to him.” 	 Duma-dumania, imane Moze ba ndraono Gizaraʼeli, ”Iʼasogö dania khöu zamaʼeleʼö Lowalangiu, Yehowa, oi yaʼami, iwami, samaʼeleʼö simane yaʼodo; li daʼö dania mifondro-ndrongo.”


What Do You Think? 	 Hewisa Moloʼö Yaʼugö?


A person who shows compassion tries to help those who are suffering. 	 Andrö, moguna taʼalui ginötö ba wanolo niha böʼö.


I wanted to progress. 	 Omasido na tedou ndraʼo ba wamati.


“Has it been sheltered?” you ask. 	 Ösofu nasa khönia, ”Hadia larorogö sibai patung daʼa?”


“Do you know how old I am?” 	 ”Hadia öʼila hauga ndröfigu?”


What evidence do we have that Jehovah is helping people today? 	 Hadia dandra khöda wa lö faröi Yehowa wanolo nono mbanuania iadaʼa?


The Law showed that Jehovah has strong feelings against clothing that does not show the clear difference between men and women. 	 Iforomaʼö Goroisa andrö wa lö omasi Yehowa lala wonukha si lö mangoromaʼö hezoso ndra matua ba ira alawe.


My mind was focused only on the game. 	 Ba wangera-ngeragu ha ba watandrisa manö.


Why is spiritual food important? 	 Hadia mbörö wa moguna gö wamati andrö?


Everything belongs to him. 	 Lö khönia faʼambö.


What will we now examine? 	 Hadia nifatunöda iadaʼa?


When you answered yes, everyone present knew that you had dedicated your life and were qualified to be baptized as an ordained minister of Jehovah. 	 Ba ginötö öbeʼe wanema li ”ya”, fefu niha sangondrasi laʼila wa no ölulu waʼaurimö ba no öfalua fefu hadia nitötöna ba niha samosumange Yehowa irege tola tebayagö idanö ndraʼugö.


We must work either to grow our food or to earn money to buy it. 	 Moguna mohalöwö ita, he ba wananö zinanö mazui ba wangalui kefe enaʼö tola taʼöli zoguna khöda.


(John 17:20, 21) Jesus also foretold that his little flock of anointed disciples would “become one flock” with his “other sheep.” 	 (Yohane 17:20, 21) Itutunö Yesu göi ba nikubaloi side-ide, yaʼia daʼö niha nibayoini wa ”tobali ha sambawa nikubaloi” ira faoma ”mbiri-biri böʼö”.

Why is there a special need to be watchful in our time? 	 Hadia mbörö nasa wa tadöna-döna luo Yehowa?


I have more insight than all my teachers, because I ponder over your reminders. 	 Atua-tua ndraʼodo, moroi ba zamahaö yaʼo fefu; me ufatou-tou tödögu wamaduhuʼömö andrö.


One day I joined in a discussion with them. I intended to prove the Witnesses wrong. 	 Samuza inötö ufaogö ndraʼo fahuhuo khöra, omasido uforomaʼö wa fasala ndra Samaduhuʼö andrö.


17, 18. (a) What does Jehovah want for young people today? (b) How can you avoid regretting your choices when you become an adult? 	 17, 18. (a) Hadia zomasi Yehowa enaʼö larasoi ira si bohou ebua? (b) Hewisa enaʼö lö khöu faniasa ba gangetula nihalömö na no atuaʼö?


What may have prevented Christ’s disciples from being united, and what questions will we discuss? 	 Hadia mbörö wa tola manö abua khö ndra nifahaʼö Yesu ba wangoromaʼö fahasara dödö, ba hadia manö wanofu nitutunöda?


That naturally limited the scope of its readership. 	 Börö daʼö, lö ato niha sombaso.


(1 Thess. 4:11; 2 Thess. 3:11) We should not assume that the parents, spouse, or other relatives of one of the anointed would also be anointed. 	 (I Tes. 4:11; II Tes. 3:11) Lö göi tamane wa no tebayoini woʼomora, satuara, mazui ösi nomora tanö böʼö.


We might also direct them to organizations that can help them find a good home or a job. 	 Tola tafarou ira weʼamöi ba organisasi zanolo yaʼira ba wanöndra omo mazui halöwö si sökhi khöra.


My house is cleaner and tidier. 	 Lö omasido mofönu-fönu saʼe.Tobali lö taʼunö nomogu.


What must we do if we want Jehovah to be merciful toward us and forgive us? 	 Hadia nifaluada na omasi ita tatema waʼahakhö dödö hegöi fangefaʼö moroi khö Yehowa?


How did they stay faithful to Jehovah? 	 Hewisa wa tola lö faröi ira khö Yehowa?


They are part of the “food at the proper time” that “the faithful and discreet slave” provides for us.—Matthew 24:45. 	 Daʼa sambua faosatö ’gö na inötö wemanga’ nibeʼe ’zawuyu si lö faröi ba satua-tua’ khöda.—Mataiʼo 24:45.


Why was it made? 	 Hana wa mufazökhi daʼö?
