 Dabi. Nɔ ni wiemɔ ni atsɔɔ shishi akɛ hɛl (hell) yɛ Biblia shishitsɔɔmɔi komɛi ni etsɛ waa lɛ (Hebri, “Sheol”; Greek, “Hades”) amli lɛ damɔ shi kɛhã nɔŋŋ ji “Gbonyobu,” adesai fɛɛ agbonyobu. Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ mɛi ni yɔɔ “Gbonyobu” lɛ mli lɛ, bɛ shihilɛ mli, no ji, amɛleee nɔ ko nɔ ko.

•   Gbohii lɛ bɛ shihilɛ mli, no hewɔ lɛ amɛnyɛɛɛ amɛnu piŋmɔ he. “Nitsumɔ loo yiŋshwiemɔ loo hiɛshikamɔ, loo nilee ko kwraa bɛ hɛl he ni oyaa lɛ.” (Jajelɔ 9:10, Douay-Rheims Version) Mɛi ni yɔɔ hɛl lɛ piŋŋ po ni abaanu amɛbolɔmɔi ahe. Moŋ lɛ, Biblia lɛ kɛɛ: “Hã mɛi fɔji ahiɛ agboi, ni amɛfee dioo yɛ gbonyobu [hell, Douay-Rheims] lɛ mli.”​—Lala 31:17; King James Version (30:18, Douay-Rheims); Lala 115:17.

•   Nyɔŋmɔ etsɔɔ akɛ gbele ji esha he toigbalamɔ, jeee piŋmɔ yɛ hɛl la mli. Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ klɛŋklɛŋ gbɔmɔ, ni ji Adam lɛ akɛ, kɛ́ eku Nyɔŋmɔ mla lɛ mli lɛ, ebaagbo. (1 Mose 2:17) Nyɔŋmɔ ewieee nɔ ko nɔ ko yɛ naanɔ piŋmɔ yɛ hɛl he. Sɛɛ mli be ni Adam tɔ̃ lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ lɛ toigbalamɔ ni baaba enɔ, no ji: “Sũ ji bo, ni sũ mli obaaku osɛɛ kɛya.” (1 Mose 3:19) Ehiŋ shi dɔŋŋ. Eji Nyɔŋmɔ kɛ Adam yaawo hɛl la ko mli kulɛ, bɔ fɛɛ bɔ ni fee lɛ, ebaatsĩ tã. Nyɔŋmɔ tsakeko toigbalamɔ ni ekɛɛ kɛ́ wɔje gbɛ wɔku emlai lɛ amli lɛ, ebaaba wɔnɔ lɛ. Be ni Adam fee esha lɛ sɛɛ bei kplaŋŋ lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ kɛ emumɔ lɛ tsirɛ Biblia ŋmalɔ ko ni eŋma akɛ: “Esha dɛŋ nyɔmɔwoo ji gbele.” (Romabii 6:23) Enɛ sɛɛ lɛ, toigbalamɔ ko he ehiaa dɔŋŋ, “ejaakɛ kɛ́ mɔ ko gbo lɛ, abuɔ lɛ bem kɛjeɔ ehe esha lɛ mli.”​—Romabii 6:7.

(1 Yohane 4:8) Eesumɔ ni wɔjá lɛ akɛni wɔsumɔɔ lɛ lɛ hewɔ, jeee ni wɔjá lɛ akɛni wɔmiishe gbeyei akɛ ebaapiŋ wɔ kɛya naanɔ lɛ hewɔ.​—Mateo 22:36-38.

(1 Mose 37:35; Hiob 14:13) Awie Yesu Kristo po he akɛ, kɛjɛ be ni egbo kɛyashi atee lɛ shi lɛ, no mli fɛɛ lɛ eyɛ hɛl. (Bɔfoi 2:31, 32) Enɛ tsɔɔ akɛ, kɛ́ akɛ “hɛl” tsu nii yɛ Bibliai nɛɛ amli lɛ, nɔ ni nɔŋŋ ni edamɔ shi kɛhã ji Gbonyobu. b

 Yesu kɛ abɛbua nɛɛ tsu nii, ni abɔ enɛ he amaniɛ yɛ Luka 16:19-31. Abɛbuai ji nɔkwɛmɔnii ni tsɔɔ wɔ jeŋba he anɔkwalei komɛi kɛ bɔ ni Nyɔŋmɔ naa saji komɛi ehãa. Abɛbua ni kɔɔ nuu niiatsɛ lɛ kɛ Lazaro he lɛ jeee shihilɛ ko ni ba diɛŋtsɛ. (Mateo 13:34) Kɛ́ ootao ole abɛbua nɛɛ he saji krokomɛi lɛ, kanemɔ sane ji, “Who Were the Rich Man and Lazarus?”

 Dabi. Nɔ ni mɛi tsɔɔ akɛ gbohii lɛ baanyɛ ale akɛ amɛtsi amɛhe kɛje Nyɔŋmɔ he lɛ kɛ Biblia lɛ kpãaa gbee, ejaakɛ Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ gbohii lɛ leee nɔ ko nɔ ko.​—Lala 146:3, 4; Jajelɔ 9:5.

 Hɛɛ. Biblia lɛ bɔ mɛi nɛɛhu ni tee Gbonyobu (ni atsɔɔ shishi akɛ “hɛl” yɛ Bibliai komɛi amli) mli, ni atee amɛ shi kɛba wala mli ekoŋŋ lɛ ahe amaniɛ fitsofitso. c Eji be ni amɛyɔɔ hɛl lɛ, amɛle nibii ni yaa nɔ yɛ jɛmɛ kulɛ, be ni amɛje kpo lɛ, amɛbaagba shihilɛi ni amɛtsɔ mli lɛ.

Taakɛ Biblia lɛ etee nɔ etsɔɔ lɛ, no mli lɛ amɛleee nɔ ko nɔ ko, amɛyaje shihilɛ ko ni tamɔ “wɔ” vii mli.​—Yohane 11:11-14; 1 Korintobii 15:3-6.
