Ber biara basabasayɛ biara besi wɔ w’abrabɔ mu no, bambɔ bea mapã a sunsum mu no ibotum atsena nye wo temple ayɛdze no mu.
Mo nuanom na nkyerɛbaa adɔfo, ɔyɛ me enyisɔ dɛ menye hom wɔ ha anapa yi rebɛkyɛ m’akoma mu atsenkã.
Dɛ mbrɛ hom nyim no, yɛreyɛ nsiesie edwuma kɛse bi wɔ Salt Lake Temple a ɔayɛ atsenkã wɔ abakɔsɛm mu no. Edwumayɛ a ɔnnda famu yi, wɔrehyɛ asɔpɔkan fapem no a woegyina yie mfe ɔha na no mboree no dzen ara yie. Mbom ɔsɛ dɛ temple yi gyina kyɛr ara yie. Ndaansa Esusow Aketseaba rokɔ ewiei no, mokɔhwɛɛ edwuma kɛse no a ɔrokɔ do no. Modwen ho dɛ hom bɛpɛ ehu dza emi na mo hokãfo Wendi yehunii no. Megye dzi dɛ hom bohu siantsir a asɔr ndwom “Fapem a Ɔyɛ Dzen” 1 aba ebenya ntseasee fofor ama hɛn no.
Video a ofi Salt Lake Temple nsiesie bea no: “Yɛrohwɛ Salt Lake Temple n’asɔpɔkan fapem no. Migyina Ture Dan no n’ase afamu. Sɛ mohwɛ dan no nyina n’edwindze a, ɔyɛ me nwanwa dza edzikamfo no yɛe no. Ɔtɔ modo koraa ber a mususu dɛ wosii Temple kakraka yi a wɔdze edwindadze ara na wɔwɔ no mfe ɔha na no mboree ekyir no.
“Mfe du mfe du ekyir no, mbom, sɛ yɛbɛn fapem no ho na yɛhwɛ no yie a, yetum hu nsu a oridzidzi ase, abɔnabɔn abɛdeda asɔpɔkan ɔbotan no mu, na ntowee no wɔ ahoɔdzen ahorow.

Ntsi, mibisa hom mu kor biara, wo fapem ne dzen tse dɛm? Na ebɛn ndzɛmba horow na ibehia dze ahyɛ wo dasegye na asɛmpa ntseasee no dzen?
Temple no na osi yɛrehyɛ hɛn gyedzi na sunsum mu ahoɔdzen dzen no ne finimfin, osiandɛ Agyenkwa na N’asɛmpa no nye temple no n’akoma ankasa no. Biribiara a wɔkyerɛ wɔ temple mu, odua nkyerɛkyerɛ na Sunsum do no, tow hɛn ntseasee wɔ Jesus Christ mu. N’ayɛdze a ohia tsitsir no dua asɔfodzi krɔnkrɔn ahyɛmudzi do nye hɛn kyekyer No. Nkyii, yeresie hɛn ahyɛmu no, Ɔdze Ne ayarsa, dzenhyɛ tum no kyɛ hɛn. 3 Na o, mbrɛ yehia No tum wɔ nda ɔreba no mu a.
Wɔbɔ hɛn anohoba so dɛ, “sɛ [yɛ]yɛ ahosiesie a, [ye]nnkosuro.” 4 Awerɛhyɛmu yi, wɔ nsunsuando kɛsɛ ndɛ. Ewuradze akã dɛ ndɛ ɔhaw a bi mmbaa da ekyir no, hɔn a wɔatow hɔn fapem wɔ Jesus Christ do no, na wosũa mbrɛ wosi twe no tum no, nnhia dɛ wobegyaa hɔn ho ama aber yi mu atseetsee soronko no.
Temple ayɛdze na ahyɛmudzi fir tsetse. Ewuradze maa Adam na Eve ahyɛdze dɛ wɔmbɔ mpaa, wondzi ahyɛmu, na wɔmbɔ afɔr. 5 Nokwar, “mber biara a Ewuradze enya nkorɔfo wɔ asaase do a wɔbɛyɛ setsie ama N’asɛm no, wɔma hɔn mbrasɛm dɛ wonsi temple.” 6 Temple nkyerɛkyerɛ, ntarhyɛ, kasa, na binom so ho ntõtõho hyɛ kyerɛwsɛm gyinapɛn no mu mã. 7 Adze biara a yɛgye dzi na anohoba biara a Nyankopɔn abɔ ama Ne ahyɛmu mba no hyia mu wɔ temple. Mber biara mu no, temple ama nokwar a ɔsombo no ada edzi yie dɛ hɔn a wɔnye Nyame dzi ahyɛmu na wosie no nye ahyɛmu mba no.
Dɛm ntsi, Ewuradze ne fie mu no, yebotum yɛnye Nyankopɔn edzi ahyɛmu kor noara a Abraham, Isaac, na Jacob dzii no. Na yebotum enya nhyira kor noara!
Temple akã mberano yi ho fitsi n’ahyɛse koraa. 8 Elijah dze nsɔwano tumdzi no maa Joseph Smith wɔ Kirtland Temple. Asɔfodzi ne mãhyɛ no wɔdze san ananmu baa wɔ Nauvoo Temple. 9
Kesi no wu wɔ gyedzi ntsi no, Joseph Smith kɔr do nyaa nyikyerɛ a ɔmaa endowment na nsɔwano ayɛdze ne nsanananmu no. 10 Naaso, ohun dɛ, wobehia ntsewho bi akã ho. Ɔdze endowment no maa no wɔ Esusow Aketseaba 1842 mu wiei no, Joseph kãa kyerɛɛ Brigham Young dɛ, “Iyi wɔnnhyehyɛɛ no yie, mbom yɛayɛ dza yebotum ayɛ wɔ hɛn gyinabew a yɛwɔ mu yi na me yamu ankyɛ ibɛfa asɛm no wɔ wo nsa mu na ahyehyɛ guadoadzeyɛ yinom nyina esiado esiado.” 11
Nkɔnhyɛnyi no wu ekyir no, President Young hwɛɛ ma wowiee Nauvoo Temple no 12 na ekyir no osisii temple horow wɔ Utah Asaase do. Ber a worutu St. George Temple ahyɛ Nyame nsa no, Brigham Young kãa no ndamyɛ mu dɛ ngyina-ananmu temple edwuma hia dɛ ɔkɔ do ntsɛntsɛm ber a ɔkãa dɛ, “Sɛ modwen nsɛngyinado yi ho a, nna mepɛ dɛ medze ndze a ɔbobɔ mu esuon dze nyan adasamba.” 13
Fitsi dɛm ber dze ba kan no, woesiesie temple ayɛdze no nkakrankakra. President Harold B. Lee kyerɛkyerɛɛ siantsir a nyɛbea, nhyehyɛɛ, na temple ayɛdze ne mmae mpo ɔkɔ do sesã wɔ Agyenkwa no N’Asɔr wɔdze asan ananmu aba no. President Lee kãa dɛ: “Jesus Christ asɛmpa ne fapem no yɛ krɔnkrɔn. Obiara nsesã fapem na Asɔr nkyerɛkyerɛ no gyedɛ Ewuradze dze edua nyikyerɛ do. Kwan a wɔfa do yɛ no sesã ber a nkenyan akwankyerɛ ba hɔn a wɔhwɛ do dɛm ber no mu no. 14
Hom nsusu mbrɛ sacrament mmae asesã ofi mber to mber no. Ahyɛse no, nna sacrament nsu no wɔdze gu kuraba kɛse kor mu dze ma mboanofo no. Obiara noom ano. Sesei yɛdze ankorankor nkɔɔpow nkakraba a wowie a wɔtow gu. Nyɛbea no sesãe, mbom ahyɛmu no annsesã.
