Jesus ho Dasegye
Me nsato nye dɛ ibedzi dwuma sesei dze enya wo bea dɛ eyɛ obi a ne Jesus ho dasegye no yɛ dzen.
Afe 1832 mu no, Joseph Smith na Sidney Rigdon nyaa enyido-adzehu nwanwa bi a ɔfa Nyankopɔn ne mba hɔn onnyiewiei nkrabea ho. Nyikyerɛ yi kãa faa ɔsor ahenman ebiasa ho. President Dallin H.

Ahenman ebiasa yi mu dza osuar koraa no, telestial n’enyimyam no “ɔbor ntseasee nyina do,” hɛn Egya n’enyidado nye dɛ yɛbɛsan mu eyi—na yedua Ne Ba, n’adom do afata—ma ɔkrɔn kɛse na ahenman a ɔyɛ enyimnyam kɛse no, celestial no, bea a yebenya onnyiewiei nkwa na “yɛnye Christ ayɛ afɛ-adzedzifo.” President Russell M. Nelson ahyɛ hɛn nkuran dɛ “yɛndwen celestial adwen,” yɛbɛyɛ celestial ahenman no hɛn botae na nkyii “ahwɛyie mu ara [ye]esusu [hɛn] adwenpɔw biara ber a [yɛ]bɔ wɔ asaase do no dze [hɛn] bɔto wɔ wiadze a ɔreba no mu.
Hɔn a wɔwɔ celestial ahenman mu no nye “nkorɔfo a wonyaa Jesus ho dasegye, … nye hɔn a wɔtsen a wɔnam Jesus a ɔyɛ ahyɛmu fofor mu ntamugyinafo no do woedzi mu.” Hɔn a wɔwɔ dza otsĩa ebien mu no, anaa terrestrial, ahenman no wɔkasa fa hɔn ho dɛ woye, a “enyimdzefo wɔ asaase do a ndabrabafo furaa hɔn enyi no,” kã ho. Hɔn su a osiw hɔn kwan kɛse nye dɛ “hɔn dasegye a ɔwɔ Jesus ho no nnyɛ dzen.” Naaso, n’afã no, hɔn a wɔwɔ telestial, ahenman a ɔwɔ ase no, nye hɔn a “woennya asɛmpa no, nna woennya Jesus no ho dasegye.”
Hom nhyɛ no nsew dɛ su a ɔda edzi wɔ nkorɔfo a wɔwɔ ahenman kor biara mu nye mbrɛ hɔn “Jesus ho dasegye” tse, ofi (1) wɔdze hɔn akoma mu nyina som dze kɔ (2) ɔnnyɛ dzen dze kɔ (3) wopow no koraa. Obiara ne ndzeyɛɛ wɔ ho no na hɔn onnyiewiei ndaamba sɛn do.

Ebɛnadze nye Jesus ho dasegye no?
Ɔyɛ Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn no ne dasegye dɛ Ɔyɛ Nyame Ne Ba krɔnkrɔn no, Messiah na Pomfo no. Ɔyɛ John ne dasegye dɛ nna Jesus nye Nyame, ɔsor na dɛ Ɔyɛ asaase Bɔfo no wɔ hɔ ahyɛse no, na dɛ “no mu na asɛmpa no wɔ, na asɛmpa no nye nkwa no, na nkwa no nye nyimpa ne kan no.” Ɔyɛ “Asomafo na Nkɔnhyɛfo hɔn dasegye, … dɛ “Owui, wosie No, na da a otsĩa ebiasa no Ɔsoɛree bio, na Ɔfowee kɔr sor.” Ɔyɛ nyimdzee dɛ “dzin biara nnyi hɔ a wɔdze ama a nkwagye bodua do aba.” Ɔyɛ “dasegye a odzi ekyir koraa,” a Nkɔnhyɛnyi Joseph Smith dze mae, “dɛ ɔtse ase! … Dɛ Ɔno na Egya No Woo No Kortonoo—na wɔnam no do, na wɔnam no mu, na ɔnoara so na ɔbɔɔ wiadze, na hɔn a wɔtse do nyina wɔwoo hɔn Nyame ne mbabanyin na mbabaa.”

Dasegye yi ekyir nye asɛmbisa no, Ebɛnadze na yɛbɛyɛ afa ho?
Celestial ahenman mu adzedzifo no “nya” Jesus ho dasegye emudzi mu ber a wonuma hɔn, na wonya Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn no, na wɔdze gyedzi dzi konyim. Fapem na Jesus Christ asɛmpa ho nokwar horow na wɔdze hwɛ hɔn ehiadze na nsanmuyi horow do. Jesus ho dasegye da edzi wɔ dza wɔyɛ na nyimpa ban a wɔreyɛ. Hɔn tsirmpɔw nye ayamuyie, “Christ no dɔ mapã no.” Hɔn botae nye wotsiw “Christ amayɛ esusudze no pɛn do.”
Annyɛ yie koraa no hɔn a wobohu hɔn wɔ terrestrial ahenman mu no binom gyee Jesus ho dasegye too mu naaso dza ɔda hɔn edzi nye dza wɔannyɛ wɔ ho. Hɔn a wɔnnyɛ dzen wɔ Agyenkwa no ho dasegye ma adwenkyerɛ bi dɛ ɔmmfa hɔn ho anaa wɔyɛ no biara biara—ɔyɛ “akɔtrɔbɔdwe”— wɔnntse dɛ Ammon no nkorɔfo a wɔwɔ Mormon Nwoma mu no, mfatoho, a “hɔn dɔ mapã wɔwɔ ma Nyankopɔn … yɛɛ hɔn dansewa.”
Hɔn a wɔwɔ telestial ahenman mu no nye hɔn a wɔpoow Jesus ho dasegye na N’asɛmpa, N’ahyɛmu horow, na No nkɔnhyɛfo. Abinadi kã hɔnho asɛm dɛ “Ber a wɔtaa hɔn honam ne pɛ nye akɔndɔ ekyir, na wɔammfrɛ Ewuradze wɔ aber a ehumbɔbɔr abasa no ɔatsen mu wɔ hɔn do no; na ehumbɔbɔr abasa no wɔtsenee wɔ hɔn do, na wɔannkasa ho.”

Yɛreyɛ dzen wɔ Jesus ho dasegye mu n’asekyerɛ nye dɛn?
Yebotum esusu ndzɛmba pii ho dze eyi asɛmbisa yi ano. Mebɛkã no mu kakra ara. Erenyɛn na erehyɛ dɛm dasegye no dzen kã ereyɛ dzen wɔ Jesus ho dasegye mu ampaara. Esuafo anokwafo mmbu enyi nngu ndzɛmba a ɔyɛ dɛ ɔyɛ ketseaba do a ɔgye Jesus ho dasegye ho abamba na ɔhyɛ no dzen do, tse dɛ mpaabɔ, kyerɛwsɛm adzesũa, Ahomgyeda ne nsiei na iridzi sacrament, nnuhu, erosom, na erosɔr wɔ Ewuradze fie. President Nelson kaa hɛn dɛ “dasegye a ɔammfa ‘Nyankopɔn n’asɛmpa no’ [Moroni 6:4] annyɛn no no botum edwuruw egu ntsɛm a ɔyɛ nwnanwa. Dɛm ntsi,… yehia yɛrosɔr Nyame na yerusũa N’asɛmpa no daa daa sũahu.” Nkyii ɔdze sɔɔw do dɛ: “Mototɔ serɛ hom dɛ hom mma Nyankopɔn ndzi nyim wɔ hom abrabɔ mu. Hom mma no mber mu dodow a oye. Hom reyɛ dɛm no, hom nhyɛ mbrɛ hom sunsum mu ahoɔhar pa bɛyɛ no nsew.”
Yɛreyɛ dzen no so susu kyerɛ dɛ yebue hɛnho dze hɛn dasedzi no ba bagua mu. Enuma mu no, yesi hɛn pɛ pi dɛ “[ye]begyina dɛ Nyankopɔn n’adasefo aber nyina wɔ adze nyina mu, wɔ gyinabew biara a [yɛ]wɔ mu no mu, kesi owu mu mpo.” Easter ber yi nkanka, enyigye mu ara na bagua do yɛpaa mu kã hɛn dasegye wɔ Christ tseasefo a ɔsoɛr a yennsusu ho.
Ereyɛ dzen wɔ Jesus ho dasegye mu kor nye yɛbɛyɛ aso ama N’asomafo. Nyankopɔn nnhyɛ hɛn nnkɔ anamɔn kwanpa do, ahyɛmu anamɔn kwan no, mbom Ɔhyɛ No nkɔnhyɛfo ma wɔma yehu hɛn nsanmuyi horow no nsunsuando. Na nnyɛ N’Asɔrmba nko.

Ereyɛ dzen wɔ Jesus ho dasegye mu no kyerɛ dɛ edze asɛm na fasusu rehyɛ nkaafo nkuran, dɛ hɔn so wɔbɛhyɛ dzen, nkanka wɔ hɔnankasa hɔn ebusua ebusua mu. Elder Neal A. Maxwell mber bi ɔkasaa kyerɛɛ [Asɔrmba] ‘enyimdzefo’ a wɔtsɛw enyi ara kyɛn dɛ hɔn esuafoyɛ no bɔdɔ bun mu na hɔn a wɔdzedze mu ara kyɛn dɛ “wɔdze enyimpi yɛ adzepa’ [Nkyerɛkyerɛ na Ahyɛmudzi 76:75; 58:27].” Elder Maxwell dzii yaw dɛ ɔahyɛ no nsew dɛ “Awerɛhow mu ara, sɛ binom san mu yi akwadwer a, wɔrennsan mu nnyi mma hɔn ho nko, mbom ama ebusuasantsen a odzi do na ma odzi do no so. Awofo hɔn mmanee ketsetse no botum ewie mmanee kese wɔ hɔn mbofra mu! Bia ebusuasantsen a wodzii kan no kyerɛɛ enyimpi si, ber a ndɛ ebusuasantsen rekyerɛ mmanee kakra. Ɔyɛ yaw dɛ, dza odzi do no, binom botum afa etuatsew, ber a fapem a orudwir no da edzi.
Mfe pii a egu mu no, Elder John H. Grobeg kãa asɛm bi a ɔfa ebusua kumabaa a wɔtse nkorbata kakraba bi mu wɔ Hawaii mfe 1900 ahyɛse no. Nna wɔayɛ Asɔrmba bɛyɛ mfe ebien ber a hɔn babaa baako yar yarba a wonnhu ne yarba ban ma wɔgyee no too asopitsi. Wɔkɔr asɔr Kwesida a odzi do no, egya na ne babanyin no siesie sacrament no dɛ ma wɔyɛ no dapɛn dodow no, naaso ber a egya kumaa no buu ntwɛr dɛ oribehyira paano no do no, nkorbata mu president no ohun nyimpa ɔwɔ sacrament pon ho no, ohuruii na ɔtsẽa mu dɛ, “Gyae. Nnkotum dze wo nsa akã sacrament no. Wo babaa enya yarba a obira nnyim. Fi hɔ ntsɛmara ma nyimpa fofor nsiesie sacrament paanoo fofor. Yɛronnhwehwɛ wo wɔ ha. Kɔ.” Egya a noho abow no hwɛɛ nkorbata mu president a ɔnntse ase na nkyii ɔhwɛɛ mboanofo no na, onyaa ɔhaw na enyimguase ho atsenkã fi hɔn nyina hɔ no, ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ n’ebusua, na wɔtoaa do fii asɔrfi hɔ dzinn.
Wɔannkã hwee, na awerɛhow mu ara ebusua no faa kwan do nantsewee kɔr fie. Wɔtsenaa ase twaa hyiae, na egya no see dɛ, “Meserɛ obiara nyɛ dzinn kɛpem dɛ mebɛyɛ krado akasa.” Banyimba no dwendwen dza wɔbɛyɛ dze edze awer wɔ enyimguase a wɔakã hɔn: ana wobokumkum nkorbata mu president ne mprɛko, anaa wɔbɛhyew ne fie, anaa wɔbɔdɔm asɔr fofor? Sima enum, du, duenum, eduonu enum senee dzinn.
Egya no ne nsa a woemua no hyɛɛ ase dɛ ɔrogow, na enyinsuwa hyehyɛe. Enã no hyɛɛ ase sũi, na annkyɛr na mba no kor biara rusũ dzinn. Egya no danee kɔr ne yer do na ɔkãa dɛ, “Modɔ wo” na osii do kãa dɛm asɛm no kyerɛɛ ne mba no kor biara. “Modɔ hom nyina na mepɛ dɛ yɛbɔ mu, afebɔɔ dɛ ebusua. Na kwan kor a dɛm botum aba nye yɛbɛyɛ Jesus Christ N’Asɔr a ɔwɔ hɔ ma Nda a Odzi Ekyir Ahotseweefo asɔrmba pa na ɔnam asɔfodzi krɔnkrɔn no do wɔasɔw hɛn ano wɔ temple.

Kwesida a ɔreba no yɛbɛsan akɔ asɔr. Hɛnankasa yɛbɔbɔ mu atsena kɛpem ber a hɛn babaa ne yarba no wobohu ano, naaso yɛbɛsan akɔ.”
Wɔsanee kɔree, hɔn babaa no tsee apɔw, na ber a wowiee Laie Hawaii Temple no, wɔsɔɔw ebusua no ano wɔ hɔ. Ndɛ, akra bɔbor ɔha frɛ hɔn papa, nanabanyin, na nanasum nhyiranyi osiandɛ ɔdze n’enyiwa tsiim daapem do.
Adze kor a odzi ekyir a ɔfa yɛbɛma hɛn Jesus ho dasegye ayɛ dzen a mebɛkã ho asɛm nye yebetsim ahwehwɛ ankorankor krɔnkrɔnyɛ. Jesus nye hɛn Pomfo tsitsir, na Ɔtotɔ serɛ dɛ “Hom nnu hom ho, hom a hom wɔ asaase n’ano n’ano nyina, na hom mbra me nkyɛn ma wonnuma hom wɔ me dzin mu, ama Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn no a hom benya no aatsew homho, ma hom eetum egyina m’enyim wɔ da a odzi ewiei no mu dɛ nkekãa biara nnyi homho”
Nkɔnhyɛnyi Mormon kã Ahotseweefo kuw binom a wɔsɔwee wɔ kwan yi do a “woduaa amandzehu pii mu” mpo:
“Naaso iyi nyina mu no wɔfaa akɔnkye na wɔbɔɔ mpaa mpɛn pii, na wonyaa ahoɔdzen mu ahoɔdzen wɔ hɔn ahobrɛadze mu, na wonyaa gyedzi a otsim wɔ Christ mu, iyi maa dɛw na awerɛkyekyer hyɛɛ hɔn akra mã, nyew, ɔtseew hɔn akoma mu na ɔmaa hɔn ahosan so mpo, dɛm ahosan yi bae osiandɛ wogyaa hɔn akoma mu maa Nyankopɔn.” Ɔyɛ akoma mu nsakyer kɛse yi—yegyaa hɛn akoma mu ma Nyankopɔn na wodua Agyenkwa n’adom do wɔwo hɛn fofor sunsum mu no—na yɛhwehwɛ.
Me nsato nye dɛ ibedzi dwuma sesei dze enya wo bea dɛ eyɛ obi a ne Jesus ho dasegye no yɛ dzen. Dɛ wobehia nnuhu no, “ mma nntu [wo] nnuho da no nnhyɛ da,” annyɛ a “ dɔn a hom nnsusu mu dɛ ɔhyewber botwa mu, na twaber aba ewiei, na hom akra nnyaa nkwa.” Bɔ mbɔdzen ara yie sie w’ahyɛmu horow a enye Nyame edzi no. Mma yɛmma “asɛm no [n]yɛ [hɛn] fintsindua osian ne katseeyɛ ntsi.” “Hom [n]kaa ama dzin no [Christ dze] a wɔakyerɛw wɔ hom akoma mu no eetsim hɔ daa, … ama hom eehu na hom aatse ndze no a wɔdze bɛfrɛ hom na dzin so a ɔdze bɛfrɛ hom.” Na ewiei,, “hom nsi hom adwen mu egyinae, dɛ hom bɛyɛ dza [Jesus] bɛkyerɛ, na [ɔ]bɛhyɛ ho mbra nyina.”
Hɛn Egya pɛ dɛ Ne mba nyina a wɔpɛ no nye No benya onnyiewiei nkwa mu dɛwdzi wɔ Ne celestial ahenman mu. Jesus hun amandze, Owui, na Ɔsoɛree ama dɛm etum aba. “[Ɔ]afow kɔ sor, na Ɔakɛtsena Nyankopɔn n’abanyimfa, dɛ Ɔregye ehumbɔbɔr ne kyɛfa efi Egya no hɔ ama adasamba ntsi.” Mobɔ mpaa dɛ nkyɛ hɛn nyina wɔdze Ewuradze Jesus Christ ho dasegye a ɔredzɛw ehyira hɛn, yedzi dɛw na yɛayɛ dzen wɔ dɛm dasegye no mu, na yenya N’adom n’aba mu enyigye hɛn abrabɔ mu nyina.
