Nkenyan sũahu no maa Agyenkwa no sũi mpɛn pii.
Na ɔkasaa kyerɛɛ nyimpadodow no, Jesus see dɛ:
“Hom nhwɛ hom mbofraba nye yi.
“Na ber a wɔrohwɛ hɔn no … wohun dɛ sor ebue, na wohun abɔfo dɛ wofi sor risian”, rosom hɔn mbofraba no.2
Maadwen sũahu yi ho mpɛn pii. Ɔyɛ dɛ ɔatɔ obiara n’akoma do! Wohun Agyenkwa no. Wɔdze hɔn nsa kãa no . Wonyim No. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ hɔn. Ohyiraa hɔn. Na Ɔdɔɔ hɔn. Ɔnnyɛ nwanwa dɛ adze krɔnkrɔn a osii ekyir no, mbofraba yinom nyinii boae bɛkyekyeer ɔman a asomdwee, prɔmprɔmyɛ, na Christ-su ɔdɔ ahyɛ no mã a otsimii wɔ ebusuasantsen pii mu.3
Ana ɔnnkɛyɛ nwanwa sɛ hɛn mba botum nye Jesus Christ enya sũahu horow tse dɛm—dza ɔbɛkyekyer hɔn akoma aka No ho! Ɔto nsa frɛ hɛn, dɛ mbrɛ Ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ awofo a wɔwɔ Mormon Nwoma no mu no, dɛ yɛmfa hɛn mbofraba mbrɛ No. Yebotum aboa hɔn ma woehu hɔn Agyenkwa na Pomfo wɔ kwan a mbofra yinom yɛe no. Yebotum akyerɛ hɔn mbrɛ wobesi bohu Agyenkwa no wɔ kyerɛwsɛm no mu na wɔatow hɔn fapem wɔ No do.4
Ndaansa yi, nyɛnko pa bi kyerɛkyerɛɛ me biribi a nna mennhyɛ no nsew da a ɔyɛ abɛbusɛm a ɔfa ɔbarimba nyansafo a osii ne dan wɔ ɔbotan do no ho. Asɛm a ɔwɔ Luke nwoma mu no, ber a ɔbarimba nyansafo no rotow ne dan no ne fapem no, “otui ma ɔdɔe”.5 Nna ɔnnyɛ edwuma tootooba anaa dza ɔgow—ɔgyee mbɔdzembɔ!
Yebesi hɛn abrabɔ wɔ hɛn Pomfo, Jesus Christ, no Botan no do no, yehia dɛ yɛbɔ mbɔdzen ara yie. Yeyi egyangyandze biara akwa wɔ hɛn abrabɔ mu. Yɛbɔ mbɔdzen ara kɛpem dɛ yebohu No. Na yɛkyerɛkyerɛ hɛn mba ma wodua ayɛdze na ahyɛmu krɔnkrɔn horow do takyer No, ama sɛ ɔbra n’ehum dzendzen na nsuyirii ba a, nokwar dɛ wɔbɛba, wobenya nsunsuando kumaa bi wɔ hɔn do “osian ɔbotan a hom atow [hom] adan wɔ do ntsi.”6
Ahoɔdzen a ɔtse iyi nnyɛ dza ɔba mpofirmu ara. Wɔmmfa mma ebusuasantsen a odzi do no tse dɛ sunsum mu egyapadze bi. Otwar dɛ akorankor biara bɔ mbɔdzen dɛ ɔbɔhwehwɛ Ɔbotan no.
Yesua adzesua yi fi nkyerɛwee bi so mu wɔ Mormon Nwoma no mu. Ber a Ɔhen Benjamin kãa ne kasaa a odzi ewiei kyerɛɛ no nkorɔfo no, wɔboaboa hɔn ano dɛ ebusua ebusua tsie n’asɛm.7 Ɔhen Benjamin gyee dase a tum wɔ mu faa Jesus Christ ho, na ne dasee no kenyann nkorɔfo no kɔr bun mu. Wɔpaa mu kãa dɛ:
“Sunsum no … dze nsakyer kɛse aba hɛn akoma mu. …
“Na yɛpɛ dɛ yɛnye hɛn Nyame dzi ahyɛmu dɛ yɛbɛyɛ ne pɛ … hɛn nkwa da nyina.”8
Obi botum enya enyidado dɛ mbofraba a hɔn awofo enya nsakyer a ɔtse dɛm kɔ bun mu no benyin ebenya nsakyer na wɔayɛ ahyɛmu ama hɔn ho. Naaso, ɔnam siantsir ntsi bi a wɔannkã wɔ nkyerɛwee no mu no, mbofra no mu bi ennya enyigye wɔ hɔn awofo hɔn ahyɛmu a wɔyɛe no ho. Mfe pii ekyir no, “ɔbaa dɛ ebusuasantsen a wɔaba do no mu mba pii enntum anntse ɔhen Benjamin ne nsɛm no ase, osiandɛ ber a ɔkasaa kyerɛɛ no nkorɔfo no nna wɔyɛ mbofra nkakraba ntsi wɔanngye hɔn egyanom no hɔn amambra no enndzi.
“Wɔanngye dza wɔakã a ɔfa owusoɛr anaa dza ɔfa Christ ne mbaa ho no enndzi. …
“Na wɔamma woennuma hɔn; eso wɔanndɔm asɔr no. Na wɔyɛ nkorɔfo a hɔnho nntsew osian mbrɛ hɔn gyedzi tse ntsi.”9
Ebɛn awerɛhow asɛm nye yi! Ebusuasantsen a wɔreba no dze, gyedzi wɔ Jesus Christ mu nnyɛ dza ɔdɔɔ sõ ma abɛyɛ hɔn “egyanom gyedzi.” Wohia dɛ wonya hɔnara hɔn gyedzi wɔ Christ mu ma hɔn ho.

Yebotum ahyɛ ase ber a yeridzi Nephi ne fasusu do: “Yɛkã Christ ho asɛm, yedzi dɛw wɔ Christ mu, yɛbɔ Christ ho asɛmpa no dawur, yɛhyɛ Christ ho nkɔm, na yɛkyerɛw dɛ mbrɛ hɛn nkɔnhyɛ tse, ama hɛn mba eehu fibea kor a ɔsɛ dɛ wɔkɔ kɔhwehwɛ hɔn bɔnfakyɛ.”10 Nephi ne nsɛm kyerɛ daa daa mbɔdzembɔ dɛ, yɛbɛkyerɛkyerɛ hɛn mba Christ ho nsɛm.
