Lesson 003



Jehovah God is our Creator.
Osanobua ne Jehova ọre Ayi ọghomwa.

He made everything, both the things we can see and the things we cannot see.
Irẹn ẹre ọ yi emwi hia ne ima bẹghe kevbe ne ima i bẹghe.

Before he made the things we can see, he made many, many angels.
A te miẹn wẹẹ ọ suẹn gha yi emwi hia ne ima bẹghe, ọ keghi yi avbe odibosa nibun.

Do you know what angels are?
U rẹn emwa ne avbe odibosa khin ra?

Angels are persons that Jehovah made who are like himself.
Iran keghi re emwa ne Jehova yi, nọ vbe yevbe na ghee irẹn.

We cannot see them, just as we cannot see God.
Ma i sẹtin bẹghe iran vbene ima i vbe sẹtin bẹghe Osanobua.

The first angel Jehovah made became his helper.
Odibosa nokaro ne Jehova yi na do gha ru iyobọ ne Jehova.

That angel helped when Jehovah made the stars, the planets, and all other things.
Odibosa nii ẹre ọ ghi ru iyobọ ne Jehova ya yi avbe orhọnmwẹ, e planẹt, kevbe emwi hia nikẹre.

One of those planets, the earth, is our beautiful home.
Ọkpa vbe planẹt ne Osanobua yi keghi re uhunmwu otagbọn na, ne ima ye.




Then Jehovah got the earth ready for animals and humans to live on.
E Jehova na do mwamwa uhunmwu otagbọn na, ne emwa nagbọn kevbe avbe aranmwẹ mieke na sẹtin gha rrọọ.

He made the sun’s light shine on the earth.
Irẹn keghi ru ẹre, ne ovẹn gha yunmwu sẹ uhunmwu otagbọn.

He made mountains, oceans, and rivers.
Ọ na vbe yi oke, okun kevbe ẹzẹ.




What happened next? Jehovah said:
Vbe iyeke ọni, e Jehova keghi kha wẹẹ:

‘I am going to make grass and plants and trees.’
‘I gha ru ẹre ne avbe irunmwu, emwi okọ kevbe erhan zọọ ladian.’

Many different kinds of fruits, vegetables, and flowers began to grow.
Ẹre ọmọ erhan ughughan, emwi okọ kevbe avbe obobo na suẹn gha zọọ ladian.

Then Jehovah made all the animals—animals that fly, swim, crawl, and creep.
Iyeke ọni, e Jehova keghi yi avbe aranmwẹ ughughan—ke ni tin khian vbe iso, ke ni rre uwu ẹzẹ kevbe ni kọn khian vbe otọ.

He made small ones, such as rabbits, and large ones, such as elephants.
Ọ keghi yi aranmwẹ nọ kanmwa vbe na ghee ọfiontọ, ọ na vbe yi nọ kpọlọ vbe na ghee eni.

What is your favorite animal?
De aranmwẹ nọ ghi yẹẹ ruẹ sẹ?




Then Jehovah said to the first angel: “Let us make man.”
E Jehova na ghi tama odibo nokaro wẹẹ, gia do yi “emwa nagbọn.”

Humans would be different from animals.
Te emwa nagbọn ne irẹn khian yi na, khian lughaẹn ne avbe aranmwẹ.

They could invent things.
Iran ghi sẹtin gha kun emwi ọgbọn.

They could speak, laugh, and pray.
Iran ghi sẹtin gha guan, iran ghi sẹtin gha giẹ, iran ghi vbe sẹtin gha na erhunmwu.

They would look after the earth and the animals.
Iran ẹre ọ khian vbe gha gbaroghe uhunmwu otagbọn na kevbe avbe aranmwẹ ni rrọọ.

Do you know who the first man was?
Uwẹ rẹn ọmwa nokaro ne Osanobua yi ra?

Let us see.
Ma gha ruẹ ọre vbe iruẹmwi nogieva.
