Dakor bi, nna egya bi rifi fie akɔ bishop na n’apamfo ewimbir nhyiamu. Ne mfe-anan babaa begyinaa n’enyim a ɔhyɛ n’atar a wɔdze da na okitsa Book of Mormon Stories.

“Na eyɛ m’egya!” ne babaa no ammpen.

Yɛdze ndaase a onnyiewiei ma hɛn asɔrmba dodow a wɔsom enyiberdo wɔ Jesus Christ N’Asɔr mu daa daa. Hom afɔrbɔ yɛ krɔnkrɔn ampaara.
Naaso dɛ mbrɛ ɔyɛ dɛ ma basiaba yi enya ho ntseasee no, biribi so wɔ hɔ a ɔyɛ krɔnkrɔn dɛmara—biribi a wonnkenya ho nhyɛananmu—ɔfa ɔwofo a ɔretsetse ba ho.

Awofo wɔ Asodzi Krɔnkrɔn
Ana hom adwen ho pɛn dɛ ɔyɛ esian kɛse ma hɛn Egya a ɔwɔ Sor ber biara a ɔsoma ba kor ma ɔba asaase do? Woyinom yɛ No sunsum mu mbabanyin na mbabaa. Nkrabea a ɔmmbɔadze na wɔwɔ. Wɔahyehyɛ ato hɔn hɔ dɛ wɔbɛyɛ papayɛ, adom, na nokwar enyimnyam abɔdze. Naaso wɔba asaase do a wonnyim hɔnho do hwɛ, a wonntum nnyɛ biribiara gyedɛ wosũ dze hwehwɛ mboa. Nkataenyim efura hɔn mber a wodzii wɔ Nyame enyim ho nkaa, na hɔn nyimpa ban na onyia wobotum abɛyɛ ho nyimdzee. Wonya abrabɔ, ɔdɔ, Nyame, na Ne nhyehyɛɛ ho nyimdzee wɔ dza wohu wɔ nkorɔfo a woetwa hɔnho ehyia hɔ—nkankara hɔn awofo, a, nokwar ara hɔn so wɔda ho rinya ndzɛmba ho ntseasee ma hɔnho.
Nyame ama awofo “dwuma krɔnkrɔn dɛ wɔtsetse hɔn mba wɔ ɔdɔ na tseneneeyɛ mu, wɔma hɔn honandua na sunsum mu ehiadze, wɔkyerɛkyerɛ hɔn ma … wodzi Nyankopɔn Ne mbrasɛm do.”4
Ɔno dɔɔ sõ ara yie ma awofo mapã mpo nnkɛda anafua.
M’asɛm a medze ma awofo nyina nye iyi:
Ewuradze dɔ hom.
Ɔnye hom wɔ hɔ.
Ogyina hom nkyɛn.
Ɔno nye hom ahoɔdzen wɔ hom mbofra kwankyerɛ ma wɔayɛ nsanmuyi tsenenee mu.
Hom ngye ndzinoa na asodzi yi nto mu akokodur mu na enyigye mu. Mma hom mmfa ɔsorsor nhyira fibea yi nnhyɛ obiara nsa. Asɛmpa mu su pa na fapem nhyehyɛɛ mu no, hom nye nkorɔfo a hom bɛma hom ba kwankyerɛ wɔ ne daa daa abrabɔ adwenpɔwbɔ ho nsɛm ho. Boa wo mbofra ma wɔnkyekyer gyedzi wɔ Jesus Christ mu, wɔndɔ N’asɛmpa na N’Asɔr; na wɔnyɛ ahoboa ma tsenenee nsanmuyi wɔ hɔn abrabɔ nyina mu. Nokwar, ɔno nye Nyame ne nhyehyɛɛ ma awofo.
Satan bɔkõ etsia wo, adan w’enyi, abɔ mbɔdzen egura w’abaw.
Naaso ba biara enya Christ ne Kan dɛ nhyɛdo akɔntsen a ofi sor. Na Agyenkwa no bɔboa wo, ama wo kwankyerɛ, na Ɔahyɛ wo nkuran. Hwehwɛ No mboa. Bisa Ewuradze!

Ɔwofo no dɔ ma ne ba nye tum a ɔyɛ ndam kɛse no mu kor wɔ wiadze nyina mu. Ɔyɛ asaase yi do ndzɛmba kumaa mu kor a obotum ayɛ onnyiewiei ampaara.
Afei, bia ibenya atsenka dɛ wo nkitahodzi a enye wo ba wɔ no nndzi mu nnwiei. Ha na Agyenkwa no tum no ba mu. Ɔsa ayarfo no yarba, Obotum asa nkitahodzi ho yarba. Ɔbɔɔ paanoo na nam ho pii, Obotum abɔ ɔdɔ na dɛwdzi a ɔwɔ wo fie ho pii.

Ɔtserɛw Mbɔdzembɔ Nketsenketse mu
Ahoɔdzen kor so a ewɔ, dɛ ɔwofo no, nye daa daa nhyɛdo a ɔkɔ do. Mfɛfo, akyerɛkyerɛfo, na hɔn a wɔayɛ atsenkã ba na wɔkɔ. Naaso ɔwo na ibenya daa nhyɛdo wɔ w’abofra n’abrabɔ do ne kɛse.
Wo mbɔdzembɔ bɛyɛ dɛ adze ketseaba sɛ edze toto ndze dedeede a wo mba tse no wiadze mu ho a. Ɔtɔfabi ibenya atsenka bi dɛ erennyɛ dodow biara. Naaso kaa dɛ “ɔnam akwan nketsenketse do nna Ewuradze [tum dze] ndzɛmba akɛse dua ba.”7 Fie ewimbir nhyiamu kor, asɛmpa ho nkɔmbɔdzi kor, anaa fasusu pa kor no, bia onnkotum asesa w’abofra n’abrabɔ ber noara mu, tse dɛ ma nsu tɔw kor nnkotum ama eduadzewa efir ntsɛmara. Mbom erokɔ do reyɛ ndzɛmba nketsenketse, daa daa, no ma wo mbofra yɛ prɔmprɔm kyɛn dakor bi nsuyirii8
Ɔno nye Agyenkwa no kwan.

Ber biara yɛ adzekyerɛ ber. Kasafua na ndzeyɛɛ biara botum ayɛ nsanmuyi ho kwankyerɛ.13
Bia innkohu wo mbɔdzembɔ no nsunsuando hɔnara. Naaso, mma hom mmpa abaw. “Ɔsɛ dɛ ndzɛmba nyinara ba mu wɔ hɔn aber do,” Ewuradze akã. “Dɛm ntsi, mma hom mmberɛ wɔ papayɛ ho, osiandɛ hom rotow dwumadzi kɛse bi ne fapem.”14 Ebɛn edwuma na ɔbɔsõ asen eroboa Nyame ne mba a wosom bo esũa hɔn nyimpa ban ho asɛm na atow hɔn gyedzi wɔ Jesus Christ, N’asɛmpa, na N’Asɔr mu? Jesus Christ behyira wo na Ɔakrɔn wo mbɔdzembɔ a ekɔ do yɛ no.
