Bible mu no yɛkenkan fa nsera a Christ kɛseraa Simon Phariseenyi ne fie no.
Guado no, nna ɔyɛ dɛ mbrɛ Simon yɛ nyimpa pa na tseneneenyi. Ne nyamesom ho ahyehyɛdze no nna ɔtaa yɛ ne nyina: osie mbra no, otua n’ebupɛn du, osie Ahomgyeda no, ɔbɔ mpaa daa daa, na ɔkɔ asɔrfi mu.
Na ber a Jesus wɔ Simon nkyɛn no, ɔbaa bi bɛɛn no, ɔdze ne nyisuwa foow n’anan ho, na ɔdze ngohuam seraa n’anan.
Som yi a ɔbaa yi somee no annyɛ Simon fɛw, osiandɛ onyim dɛ ɔyɛ ɔdzebɔnyɛnyi. Na Simon dween ho dɛ sɛ Jesus nnyim onyi kor no a, nna ɔnnyɛ Nkɔnhyɛnyi anaa nkyɛ ɔnnkɛma ɔbaa no dze ne nsa akã no.
Ohun n’adwendwen mu no, Jesus danee kɔr Simon do bisaa no asɛmbisa. “Bosabɔnyi bi wɔ akafo beenu: baako dze denare ahenum, baako so dze eduonum.
“Na wonnya bi nntua [beenu] no, ɔdze kyɛɛ hɔn beenu no nyina kwa. Dɛm ntsi kã kyerɛ me, hɔn mu woana na ɔbɔdɔ no dodow?”

Ana yɛreyɛ ndzɛmba ara kɛkɛ a, yɛkɔ nhyiamu, yɛheram heram ber a Kwesida adzesũa rokɔ do, na bia yɛhwɛ hɛn cell phone do sacrament som ber no?

Yennkotum yɛdze setsie ho sika atɔ nkwagye; wɔdze Nyame Ne Ba no bɔgyaa tua ho kaw.26Yerodwen dɛ yebotum dze hɛn ndwuma pa enya nkwagye tse dɛ akɔtɔ wimuhɛn tsikitsi na nkyii yɛadwen dɛ wimuhɛn edwuma no yɛ hendze.

Sɛ adom yɛ Nyame akyɛdze a, dɛn ntsi na nkyii setsie ma Nyankopɔn mbrasɛm ho hia tsitsir yi? Dɛn ntsi na Nyankopɔn mbrasɛm—anaa nnuhu, wɔ dɛ ɔfa hɛn ho? Dɛn ntsi na yɛngye nto mu dɛ yɛyɛ ndzebɔnyɛfo na yɛma Nyame ngye hɛn?
Anaa, yɛdze Paul ne nsɛm bisa asɛmbisa a, “Ana yɛnda ho ntsena bɔn mu, ma adom no ndɔɔ sõ?” Paul ne nyiano yɛ tsiabaa na pefee: “Dabida”27
Enuanom na nkyerɛbaa, yɛyɛ setsie ma Nyankopɔn mbrasɛm—fi ɔdɔ a yɛwɔ Ma no!
Yɛrobɔ mbɔdzen dze hɛn akoma na hɛn adwen nyina atse Nyame N’adom akyɛdze ase no na ɔma hɛn siantsir kɛse dɛ yɛdze botooyɛ nye enyisɔ dze dɔ hɛn Ɔsor Egya na yɛyɛ setsie ma no.

Dɛm ntsi, hɛn setsie ma Nyankopɔn mbrasɛm no ne fibea nye hɛn dɔ a ɔmmbɔadze na hɛn enyisɔ ma Nyame Ne papayɛ no. Nokwar ɔdɔ na enyisɔ a ɔtse dɛm yi bɛma anwanwadze mu ara, hɛn ndwuma na Nyame N’adom abɔ mu. Ɔbrapa besiesie hɛn adwen mu a onngyaa da, nkyii hɛn awerɛhyɛmu wɔ Nyame enyim bɛhyɛ dzen.29

Dza Yebotum Ayɛ Nyinara
Nkɔnhyɛnyi Nephi boaa hɛn kɛse wɔ hɛn ntseasee wɔ Nyankopɔn adom ho ber a ɔkãa dɛ, “Yesi nketse … dze adandan hɛn mba, na hɛn enuanom so, ma wɔaagye Christ edzi, na wɔaakã hɔn nye Nyame abɔmu; osiandɛ yenyim dɛ dza yebotum ayɛ nyinara ekyir no wɔnam adom do na wɔbɛgye hɛn nkwa.””31
