Onyankopɔn Da Daa Nokorɛ Adi

Onyankopɔn nam adiyisɛm abusuabɔ a ɛfa Ɔno Yesu Kristo, Honhom Kronkron, nkɔmhyɛfoɔ ne yɛn ho so da daa nokorɛ no adi kyerɛ yɛn Ma menka dwumadie soronko nanso ɛne ne ho di nkitaho a obiara a ɔde ne ho hyɛ mu di wɔ saa adeyɛ yi mu no ho asɛm.

Deɛ, edi kan no Onyankopon ne daa nokorɛ nyinaa farebae.11 Ɔne Ne Ba, Yesu Kristo,12 wɔ nokorɛ ho nteaseɛ a ɛdi mu na wɔyɛ wɔn adeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛne nokorɛ nnyinasosɛm ne mmara hyia berɛ biara.13 Saa tumi yi ma Wɔn kwan ma wɔbɔ wiase na wɔdi so14 na saa ara nso na wɔdɔ, kyerɛ yɛn mu biara kwan, na wɔtete yɛn mu biara pɛpɛɛpɛ.15 Wɔpɛ sɛ yɛte nokorɛ ase na yɛde di dwuma sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ we a yebetumi anya nhyira a Wɔnya no mu anigye.16 Obɛtumi de nokorɛ ama wɔ ankasa mu anaa ɛnam asomafoɔ te sɛ Honhom Kronkron, abɔfoɔ, anaa nkɔmhyɛfoɔ ateasefoɔ so.

Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa, Honhom Kronkron no di nokorɛ nyinaa ho adanseɛ.17 Ɔda nokorɛ ahodoɔ adi kyerɛ yɛn tee na ɔyɛ nokorɛ a afoforɔ kyerɛkyerɛ ho adansefoɔ. Nsusuyɛ a efiri Honhom no mu taa ba sɛ nsusuyɛ ba yɛn adwene mu na atenka ba yɛn akoma mu.18

Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmeɛnsa, Nkɔmhyɛni nya daa nokorɛ firi Onyankopɔn hɔ na ɔka kyerɛ afoforɔ.19 Yesua nokorɛ no firi nkɔmhyɛfoɔ a wɔatwa mu wɔ twerɛwsɛm no mu20 ne nkɔmhyɛfoɔ a ɔwɔha wɔ amansan nhyiamu yi ase na ɔnam akwan ahodoɔ so ne yɛn di nkutaho.

Awieɛ koraa no, me ne wo di dwuma titiriw wɔ saa adeyɛ yi mu. Onyankopɔn hwɛ kwan sɛ yɛbɛhwehwɛ, ahu, na afei yɛde nokorɛ no adi dwuma.

Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkae sɛ Satan yɛ adwuma de si yɛn kwan ma yɛmfa nokorɛ no nkɔ. Onim sɛ sɛ nokorɛ nni hɔ a, yɛntumi nnya daa nkwa. Ɔde wiase nyansapɛ nwene nokorɛ nhama de ma yɛn adwene tu fra na ɛtwetwe yɛn adwene firi nea Onyankopɔn de di nkitaho no so.21

Onyankopɔn nam nkɔmhyɛfoɔ so da nkyerɛkyerɛ mu nokorɛ adi, na Honhom Kronkron no si saa nokorɛ no so dua kyerɛ yɛn na ɔboa yɛn ma yɛde di dwuma.23 Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsiesie yɛn ho sɛ yɛbenya honhom mu nsusuyɛ a ɛsi so dua berɛ a ɛba no24 Yɛgye Honhom no adansedie kɛseɛ berɛ a yɛbrɛ yɛn ho ase,25 yɛbɔ mpaeɛ firi yɛn komam na yɛsua Onyankopɔn nsɛm,26 na yɛdi Ne mmaransɛm so.27

Nanso ɛnam mpaebɔ, adesua, ne gyidie a mewɔ wɔ Yesu Kristo mu so no, menyaa adwensakyera nnyinasosɛm no ho adanseɛ.29 Berɛ a mekɔɔ so nuu me ho no, nteaseɛ a mewɔ wɔ adwensakyera ho no mu yɛɛ den.
