Yɛne Kristo Renante wɔ Apam Abusuabɔ mu

Nea wɔpiraa no na wɔbubuu no maa yɛn no bɛma ɛwuo tebea kwan ma ayɛ n’adwuma wɔ yɛn mu, nanso ɔmma yɛn nko ara nhyia saa ɔhaw no.4

M’adamfo pa Ilan na ɔkyerɛɛ me kwan bi wɔ Israel. Ɔkaa sɛ “Wɔfrɛ no Yesu Asetwe,” “ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ ɛkwan a ɛfiri Nazareth de kɔ Capernaum ta dodoɔ gyedi sɛ ɛhɔ na Yesu nanteeɛ.” Mesii gyinaeɛ saa berɛ no ara na mepɛ sɛ menante so, enti mefirii aseɛ yɛɛ akwantuo ho nhyehyɛe kɔɔ Israel.

Aka nnawɔtwe nsia ma matu kwan no, me piraa wɔ me nantini. Pira no haa me kunu; deɛ na ɛha me kɛseɛ ne sɛnea mɛfa “Yesu kwan no so” wɔ bosome baako akyi. M’aso yɛ den firi awosuo mu, enti mantwa wiemhyɛn tekiti no mu.

Mekae sɛ mehyiaa yɛn Israel kwankyerɛfoɔ anɔpa fɛɛfɛ bi wɔ Ayɛwohomumu. Me huri firii kaa no mu na afei metwee poma ne kotodwe moto ketewa bi. Mya, yɛn kwankyerɛfoɔ no hwɛɛ me plasta, na ɔkaa sɛ, “O, mennye nni sɛ wobɛtumi anante saa kwan yi so wɔ saa tebea yi mu.”

Mebuaa sɛ “Ebia ɛnte saa.” “Nanso biribiara nsi me kwan sɛ mɛyɛ ahwɛ.” Ɔbɔɔ ne ti nko kakra, na yɛfirii aseɛ. Medɔ no wɔ saa ho, sɛ I ɔnyaa gyedie wɔ me mu sɛ mɛtumi anante kwan no so .

Me ankasa faa kwan torotoro no a aboɔ abɔ petee wɔ so no kakra Afei, me nokorɛdie ahofama no kanyan Mya, nti ɔtwee ahoma teateaa bi kyekyeree me moto ketewa no nsa, na ɔfirii aseɛ twee. Ɔtwee me faa mmepɔ no so, lemon turo mu, ne Galilea Po no ano so. Akwantuo no awieeɛ no, mekyerɛɛ anisɔ maa ɔkwankyerɛfoɔ a ɔboaa me ma matumi yɛɛ biribi a anka m’ankasa mentumi nyɛ da no.

Berɛ a Awurade frɛɛ Henok sɛ ɔntu kwan mfa asase no so na ɔnni Ne ho adanseɛ no, Henok twentwɛnee ne nan ase.1 Na ɔyɛ abarimaa bi kɛkɛ, a n’ano nteeɛ. Ɔbɛyɛ dɛn atumi anante saa kwan no so wɔ ne tebea no mu? Na deɛ abubu wɔ ne mu no ama n’ani afira. Awurade mmuaeɛ a ɔde maa no wɔ deɛ ɛsii no kwan no ho no yɛ tiawa na ɛyɛ ntɛm ara: “Wo ne me nnante.”2 Te sɛ Henok no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkae sɛ Nea wɔpiraa no na wɔbubuu no maa yɛn3 no bɛma ɛwuo tebea kwan ma ayɛ n’adwuma wɔ yɛn mu, nanso ɔmma yɛn nko ara nhyia saa ɔhaw no.4 Ɛmfa ho sɛnea yɛn asɛm no mu yɛ duru, anaa baabi a yɛn kwan nam seesei, Ɔbɛto nsa afrɛ yɛn sɛ yɛne No nnante.5

Susu aberanteɛ no a na ɔwɔ ɔhaw bi mu a ɔhyiaa Awurade wɔ ɛserɛ bi so no ho. Na Yakob atu kwan akɔ akyirikyiri afiri fie. Anadwo sum mu no, ɔsoo daeɛ bi a na ɛnyɛ atwedeɛ nko na ɛwɔ mu na mmom ɛkura apam bɔhyɛ a ɛho hia nso, a deɛ mepɛ sɛ sɛ mɛfrɛ no nsateaa num bɔhyɛ ka ho.6 Saa anadwo no, Awurade gyinaa Yakob nkyɛn, daa ne ho adi sɛ Yakob agya Nyankopɔn, na afei ɔhyɛɛ bɔ sɛ:

  • Me ne wo wɔ hɔ.

  • Mɛkora wo.

  • Mede wo bɛba fie bio.

  • Merennyae wo.

  • Mɛdi me bɔhyɛ so ama wo.7

Na Yokob wɔ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔfa Na Ɔbɛtumi afa sɛ ɔbɛtena ase sɛdeɛ ɔnim fa n’agya Nyankopɔn ho, anaasɛ Ɔbɛtumi afa sɛ ɔbɛtena ase wɔ ahofama apam abusuabɔ a ɔne No wɔ mu. Mfeɛ bi akyi na Yakob dii adanseɛ faa asetena bi a ɔtenaa saa apam bɔhyɛ ahodoɔ no mu ho: “Onyankopɔn buaa me m’ahohia da no, na ɔkaa me ho wɔ kwan a mefaa so no so.”8 Sɛdeɛ Ɔyɛ maa Yakob no, Awurade bɛbua yɛn mu biara wɔ yɛn ahohia da mu sɛ yɛfa sɛ yɛbɛkyekyere yɛn abrabɔ abɔ Ne deɛ mu a. Wahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔne yɛn bɛnante kwan mu.

Yɛfrɛ saa kwan no apam kwan— ɛhyɛ aseɛ wɔ asubɔ apam no mu na ɛde kɔ apam a ɛmu dɔ a yɛyɛ wɔ tɛmpol mu. Ebia wote saa nsɛm no na wodwene deɛ yɛyiyi ho. Ebia deɛ wohunu ara ne ahiadeɛ kwan. Sɛ wohwɛ mu yie a, wobɛhunu biribi a ɛhyɛ nkuran kɛse. Apam nyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ nko ara, ɛwom sɛ ɛno ho hia deɛ. Ɛfa abusuabɔ bi ho. Titenani Russell M. Nelson kyerɛkyerɛɛ sɛ, “Apam kwan no nyina fa yɛn ne Nyankopɔn abusuabɔ ho.”9

Susu awareɛ apam bi ho hwɛ. Ayeforohyia da no ho hia, nanso deɛ ɛho hia paa ara ne abusuabɔ a ɛnam asetena a wɔbom tena ase wɔ ɛno akyi no so. Saa ara na ɛyɛ nokorɛ wɔ apam abusuabɔ a wɔne Onyankopɔn yɛ ho. Wɔahyehyɛ tebea no, na akwanhwɛ nso wɔɔkwan no anim. Na afei ɔto nsa frɛ yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛmmra sɛdeɛ yɛbɛtumi, yɛmfa akoma pabotaeɛ, na “pyɛmpere nkɔ animu”10 berɛ a ɔka yɛn ho, gyedi sɛ Ne bɔhyɛ nhyira no bɛba STwerɛsɛm kae yɛn sɛ saa nhyira ahodoɔ no ba wɔ N’ankasa ne berɛ mu ne N’ankasa kwan so: mfeɛ 38,11 mfeɛ12 ,12 ntɛmpa ara.13 Sɛnea yɛn ahiadeɛ teɛ no, saa ara na Ne aweɛrɛkyekyerɛ nso bɛyɛ.14

Ne deɛ yɛ ahobraseɛ asɛmpa. Yesu Kristo bɛhyia yɛn wɔ baabi a yɛwɔ sɛnea yɛteɛ no. Yei nti ne turo, asɛnnua, ne ɔbodan no. Wɔsomaa Agyenkwa no sɛ ɔmmoa yɛn mma yɛnni nkonim.15 Nanso yɛretena baabi a yɛteɛ no remfa ɔgyeɛ a yɛrehwehwɛ mma. Sɛnea Wannya Yakob wɔ hɔ wɔ dɔteɛ mu no, Awurade nyɛ n’adwene sɛ ɔbɛgyae yɛn mu biara wɔ baabi a yɛwɔ.

Ne deɛ nso yɛ ɔsorokɔ asɛmpa. Ɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ yɛn16 mu ama yɛn so akɔ baabi a Ɔwɔ na, wɔ saa kwan yi so no, wama yɛayɛ sɛnea Ɔteɛ no. Yesu Kristo baa sɛ ɔrebɛma yɛn so.17 Ɔpɛ sɛ ɔboa yɛn ma yɛbɛyɛ. Yei ne deɛ enti a wɔyɛ tɛmpol no.

Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkae, ɛnyɛ ɔkwan no nko ara na ɛbɛma yɛn so, ɛyɛ ɔhokafoɔ no––yɛn Agyenkwa no. Na yei ne nea enti a apam abusuabɔ wɔ hɔ.

Berɛ a na mewɔ Israel no, mekɔsraa Atɔeɛ Fasuo no. Wɔ Yudafoɔ fam no, yei ne beaeɛ kronkron sene beaɛ biara wɔ Israel. Ɛyɛ wɔn tɛmpol a aka nyinaa. Dodoɔ no ara hyɛ wɔn ntaadeɛ a ɛyɛ sene ebiara berɛ a wɔkɔsra beaeɛ kronkron yi; wɔn ntaadeɛ a wɔfa no yɛ wɔn ahofama ho sɛnkyerɛnneɛ a wɔne wɔn Onyankopɔn abusuabɔ ho. Wɔkɔsra ɔfasuo no ho kenkan twerɛsɛm, som, na wɔhwie wɔn mpaebɔ gu hɔ. Tɛmpol a wɔsrɛ wɔ wɔn mfimfini no sɛe wɔn da biara da, wɔn mpaebɔ biara, apam fie ho akɔnnɔ yi. M’ani gye wɔn ahofama no ho.

Berɛ a mefiri Israel sane baa fie no, metiee nkɔmmɔdie a atwa me ho ahyia a ɛfa apam ho no yie. Mehyɛɛ no nso sɛ nkorɔfoɔ rebisa sɛ, Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ menante apam kwan so? Ɛho hia sɛ mehyɛn fie bi a wɔyɛ apam wɔ mu ? Adɛn nti na mehyɛ ataadeɛ kronkron no? Ɛwɔ sɛ mede me ho hyɛ Awurade apam abusuabɔ mu? Saa nsɛmmisa pa a ɛho hia yi mmuaeɛ yɛ tiawa: Ɛgyina abusuabɔ dodoɔ a wopɛ sɛ wo ne Yesu Kristo nya so.18 Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn mu biara hunu n’ankasa mmuaeɛ wɔ saa nsɛmmisa a ɛmu dɔ a ɛfa ankorankoro ho no ho.

Medeɛ nie: Menante saa kwan yi so sɛsoro awofoɔ “dɔba baa a,”19 ɔsoro nim20 na wɔgye me die.21 Sɛ apam ba no, mefata sɛ menya nhyira a wɔahyɛ22 ho bɔ no. Ma fa23 sɛ mene Awurade bɛnante. Wɔa frɛ me24 sɛ mennyina sɛ Kristo adanseni. Sɛ kwan no boro me so a, wɔhyɛ me den25 wɔ adom a ɛma tumi ɛnam Ne mpata afɔrebɔ no so. Berɛ biara a mɛtwa Ne fie aboboano no, me ne No nya apam abusuabɔ a ɛmu dɔ. Wɔde Ne Honhom ayɛ me kronkron26 wɔde N’akyɛdeɛ, ama me27 na wɔayi me asi hɔ28 sɛ menkyekyere N’ahennie. Ɛnam dabiara adwensakyera ne nnawɔtwe nnawɔtwe Awurade adidi a medi so no, meresua sɛ mɛyɛ pintinn29 na mentumi nhinhim, sɛ mɛkɔ akɔyɛ papa.30 Me ne Yesu Kristo nante saa kwan yi so sɛ me kwankyerɛfoɔ nti, mehwɛ bɔhyɛ da a Ɔbɛba bio no kwan. Afei wɔbɛsɔ m’ano ama No31 na wɔama me so sɛ Onyankopɔn32 babaa kronkron.

Yei nti na menam apam kwan no so.

Yei nti na mebata apam bɔhyɛ ahoroɔ ho.

Yei nti na mehyɛn N’apam fie no.

Yei nti na mehyɛ ataadeɛ kronkron no sɛ nkaebɔ a ɛkɔ so daa no.

Ɛfiri sɛ mepɛ sɛ me ne No tena ase wɔ apam abusuabɔ a wɔahyɛ mu.

Ebia wo nso woyɛ saa. Firi aseɛ wɔ baabi a wowɔ.33 Mma wo tebea no nsi wo kwan. Kae, ahoɔhare anaa baabi a wɔde si kwan no so no ho nhia te sɛ nkɔsoɔ.34 Bisa obi a wogye no di, a ɔwɔ apam kwan no so sɛ ɔmfa wo nkyerɛ Agyenkwa a wɔabɛhu no no Sua Ne ho nsɛm pii. Fa sika hyɛ abusuabɔ no mu ɛnam apam a wo ne No bɛyɛ so. Ɛmfa ho ne mfeɛ a wadie anaasɛ tebea a wowɔ mu. Wobɛtumi ne No anante.

Berɛ a yɛwiee Yesu kwan to twa no, Mya amfa ne homa no bio. Ɔgyae bɔɔ me moto ketewa no mu. Nna kakra a na ɛdi hɔ no, me wɔfaase ne ne nnamfonom de me faa Israel mmɔntene so mmaako mmaako.35 Wɔhwɛɛ sɛ wɔmma me nhwere Yesu ho abasɛm no. Wɔkaee me mmabunu a wɔresɔre no ahoɔden ho. Yɛbɛtumi asua afiri wo hɔ Wowɔ sɛnti a ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ wohunu kwankyerɛfoɔ no,Yesu Kristo. Wogye ahoma no a ɛkyekyere wo bɔ Ne mu no ahoɔden di. Wowɔ akyɛdeɛ wɔ sɛ woboaboa nkorɔfoɔ ano ma No.36

Aseda mu no, yɛnante saa kwan yi so bom, a yɛreka nkuranhyɛ nsɛm wɔ kwan no so.37 Berɛ a yɛrekyɛ yɛn ankasa suahunu fa Kristo ho no, na yɛrehyɛ ankasa som no mu den. Yei na medi ho adanseɛ wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu, amen.
