Nsɛm a Ofi M’Akoma Mu
Ebɛn ndzɛmba na edwendwen ho? Ebɛn ndzɛmba na wohia ma wo ankasa? Ebɛnadze nye nsɛm a ofi w’akoma mu?
Mo nuambanyin na nkyerɛbaa, ber a mesan migyina hɛn Ehyiadzi Asoɛe a yɛpɛ no dodow no, mekaa Ɔsomafo Peter ne nsɛm a ɔkãe dɛ: “Ewuradze, oye ma hɛn dɛ yɛtsena ha.’’ 1
M’adwendwen ndɛ no gyina nkɔnhyɛnyi Nephi, a Egya Lehi no wu ekyir no ɔkyerɛɛw no nkorɔfo hɔn abakɔsɛm siei, ne nsɛm do. Nephi kyerɛɛw dɛ, “Na, mprɛtse yinom do na mekyerɛw nsɛm a ofi m’akoma mu.’’ 2
Nna mekenkan nyiyimu yi a, modwen dɛ kasafua ndzɛmba no mmfata anaa sunsum nnyi mu, ɔnnyɛ nwanwa biara a ɔnye “me kra’’ bɛnantsew. Naaso m’esũa dɛ kasafua things no wɔ kyerɛwsɛm no mu mpɛn 2,354. 3 Mfatoho, Moses nwoma mu no: “Emi nye Ahyɛse na Ewiei no, Otumfo Nyankopɔn no; menam nyia mo Woo no Kortoo no do na mobɔɔ ndzɛmba yinom.’’ 4 Na Nephi ne nsɛm: “Hwɛ, me kra n’enyi gye Ewuradze ne ndzɛmba ho; na m’akoma kɔ do dwendwen ndzɛmba a mehu na matse ho daa nyina.’’ 5
Nephi ne nsɛm dze nsɛmbisa no ba dɛ “Ebɛn ndzɛmba na edwendwen ho?’’ “Ebɛn ndzɛmba na wohia ma wo ankasa?” Ebɛnadze nye nsɛm a ofi w’akoma mu?’’
