PERSIAHEN no dze amandzɛɛbɔ bi too gua! Ɔkaa dɛ Jewfo a nna wɔdze hɔn kɔ nkowaasom mu bɛyɛ mfrenhyia 70 wɔ Babylon no, afei dze nna wobotum asan akɔ hɔn man Israel mu. (Kenkan Ezra 1:2-4.) Asɛm a ɔtse dɛm dze, nna Jehovah nkotsee na obotum ama woesi. Ebɛnadze ntsi na yɛreka dɛm? Osiandɛ Babylonfo no dze, sɛ nna wɔsoa obi kɔ hɔn man mu a, wɔnntaa nngyaa no. (Isa. 14:4, 17) Naaso dɛm aber yi dze, nna woetu Babylon ahendzi no egu. Ntsi ɔyɛ ɔhen fofor bi na ɔkaa kyerɛɛ Jewfo no dɛ wobotum asan akɔ hɔn man mu. Iyi ntsi nna ɔsɛ dɛ Jewnyi biara, tsitsir mbusuatsir, si gyinae dɛ wɔbɛtsena Babylon anaadɛ wɔbɔkɔ hɔn kurow mu. Ɔbɛyɛ dɛ nna dɛm gyinaesi no nnda famu. Ebɛnadze ntsi a?
2 Hɔn mu pii wɔ hɔ a mpanyinyɛ ntsi, nna worunntum nntwa kwan nnkɔ. Afei so, wɔwoo Jewfo piinara wɔ Babylon, ntsi nna hɔ ara nye hɔn fie. Hɔn dze, dza nna wonyim ara nye dɛ hɔn nananom fi Israel.

3. Nna ebɛn mfaso na Jewfo anokwafo a wɔresan akɔ Israel no benya?
3 Jewfo a nna wɔdɔ Jehovah no dze, nna wonyim dɛ sɛ wogya ndzɛmba a wɔwɔ wɔ Babylon no hɔ, na wɔsan kɔ Israel a, wobenya mfaso pii. Nna dɛm mfaso no mu kɛse paa fa ɔsom a wɔdze bɛma Jehovah no ho. Nna abosondan bɔbor 50 na ɔwɔ Babylon, naaso nna asɔrfi kor mpo nnyi hɔ a wɔsom Jehovah wɔ mu. Afei so, nna Moses Mbra no hwehwɛ dɛ Israelfo no bɔ afɔr. Naaso, nna wonnyi afɔrmbukyia biara anaa asɔfodzi nhyehyɛɛ a ɔbɛma woetum abɔ afɔr. Bio so, nna abosonsɔrfo a wommbu Jehovah na wɔmmfa ne mbra nnyɛ hwee no dɔɔ so kyɛn hɔn a wɔsom Jehovah no. Dɛm ntsi, nna Jewfo mpempem pii a wɔdɔ Nyankopɔn no rohwɛ kwan dɛ wɔbɛsan akɔ hɔn kurow mu na wɔdze nokwar som asan esi hɔ.
4. Ebɛn bɔ na Jehovah dze hyɛɛ Jewfo a nna wɔresan akɔ Israel no?
4 Sɛ nna obi rutwa kwan efi Babylon akɔ Israel a, nna obedzi bɛyɛ abosoom anan, na no mu ɔhaw so dze, piigyan. Naaso Jehovah hyɛɛ hɔn bɔ dɛ, obeyi biribiara a obotum ahaw hɔn no efi kwan mu. Isaiah kaa ho asɛm dɛ: ‘Hom mbɔ Jehovah no kwan wɔ sar do, hom ntsen sar pradada do kwantsempɔn no mma hɛn Nyankopɔn. Na wɔatsentsen dza akyeakyea, na mbrɛ ɔyɛ kekakeka no ayɛ dɛfɛɛ.’ (Isa. 40:3, 4) Ɔwodze, twa ho mfonyin hwɛ, dɛ woetwa kwan kɛse bi a ɔda do ato sar do wɔ mbepɔw ntamu. Ɔbɛma hɔn a wɔnam dɛm kwan no do no enyi agye paa! Wɔrennhaw hɔnho mmfow nkoko, mbepɔw na dza ɔkeka ho biara, mbom wɔbɛfa kwan a ɔda famu do, na ɔbɛma hɔnho so ayɛ har.
5. Nna wɔfrɛ asɛnkyerɛdze kwan do kwantsempɔn a ofi Babylon kɔ Israel no dɛn?
5 Ndɛ, kwan pii wɔ hɔ a wɔatoto no dzin. Asɛnkyerɛdze kwan do kwan a Isaiah kaa ho asɛm no so, nna ɔwɔ dzin. Ɔkaa dɛ: ‘Kwantsempɔn bɛda hɔ, na wɔbɛfrɛ no Kwan Krɔnkrɔn; obi a noho nntsew nnkɛfa do.’ (Isa. 35:8) Bɔhyɛ yi fa Israelfo a nna wɔwɔ hɔ dɛm aber no ho dɛn? Na ndɛ so ɛ, ɔfa hɛnho dɛn?
‘KWAN KRƆNKRƆN’ A NNA ƆWƆ ISRAELFO NO ABER DO NYE DZA ƆWƆ HƆ NDƐ
6. Nna ebɛnadze ntsi na wɔfrɛ kwan yi krɔnkrɔn?
6 Kwantsempɔn a wɔfrɛ no ‘Kwan Krɔnkrɔn’—kwan yi ne dzin yɛ dɛw papa! Ebɛnadze ntsi na wɔfrɛ kwan yi krɔnkrɔn? Nna wɔremma ‘obi a noho nntsew’ nntsena hɔ. Iyi kyerɛ dɛ Jewnyi biara a nna ɔayɛ n’adwen dɛ ɔbɔbɔ ɔbrabɔn, ɔbɔsom bosom anaa ɔbɛyɛ bɔn kɛse bi no, nna wɔremma ɔnnsen hɔ koraa. Nna Jewfo a wɔresan akɔ Israel no bɛyɛ “ɔman krɔnkrɔn” ama hɔn Nyankopɔn. (Deut. 7:6) Naaso nna iyi nnkyerɛ dɛ ɔnnsɛ dɛ Jewfo a wobefi Babylon akɔ hɔn kurow mu no yɛ nsesa a ɔbɛma Jehovah agye hɔn ato mu.
7. Nna ebɛn nsesa na ɔsɛ dɛ Jewfo no mu bi yɛ? Ma ho nhwɛdo.
7 Dɛ mbrɛ yeedzi kan ehu no, wɔwoo Jewfo no mu pii wɔ Babylon, ntsi nna hɔn mu pii hɔn adwen na hɔn abrabɔ tse dɛ Babylonfo no ara. Jewfo no bi dzii kan kɔr Israel, na mfe pii ekyir no, Ezra hunii dɛ hɔn mu bi awarwar mbaa a wɔsom abosom. (Ex. 34:15, 16; Ezra 9:1, 2) Ekyir yi, aber a Ambrado Nehemiah hunii dɛ mbofra a wɔawo hɔn wɔ Israel no nntse Hebrew kasa no, noho goow no paa. (Deut. 6:6, 7; Neh. 13:23, 24) Hebrew nye kasa tsitsir a nna wɔdze akyerɛw Nyankopɔn n’Asɛm no. Ntsi sɛ mbofra yi nntse dɛm kasa no a, nna wobesi dɛn esua mbrɛ wobotum adɔ Jehovah na wɔasom no? (Ezra 10:3, 44) Iyi ma yehu dɛ nna ɔsɛ dɛ Jewfo no yɛ nsesa akɛse bi wɔ hɔn asetsena mu. Naaso, osiandɛ nna wɔahyɛ ase rema nokwar som do bio wɔ Israel ntsi, nna ɔbɛyɛ mberɛw ama hɔn dɛ wɔbɛyɛ dɛm nsesa yi.—Neh. 8:8, 9.
Ofi afe 1919 H.B. reba no, nyimpa ɔpepem pii na wɔatwe hɔnho efi Babylon Kɛse no ho, na wɔrenantsew ‘Kwan Krɔnkrɔn’ no do (Hwɛ nkyekyɛmu 8)

9. Dɛ mbrɛ Isaiah 57:14 ma yehu no, ebɛnadze na wɔyɛe dze siesiee ‘Kwan Krɔnkrɔn’ no do?
9 Jewfo a worifi Babylon no, Jehovah hwɛe ma woyii biribiara a nna ɔbɛyɛ akwansidze no fii hɔn akwan mu. (Kenkan Isaiah 57:14.) Hɛn aber yi do so ɛ, ebɛnadze na Jehovah ayɛ dze esiesie ‘Kwan Krɔnkrɔn’ no? Mfe ɔhaha pii ansaana 1919 reba no, Jehovah maa mbarimba anokwafo bi siesiee kwan mu maa hɔn a wobefi Babylon Kɛse no mu aba no. (Fa toto Isaiah 40:3 ho.) Wɔdze nhyehyɛɛ a no ho hia guu akwan mu mbrɛ ɔbɛyɛ a nyimpa a wɔpɛ biribi esua botum efi Babylon Kɛse no mu, na wɔabɛka Jehovah no nkorɔfo ho ma wɔaasom no. Ebɛn nsiesie edwuma na wɔyɛe?

10-11. Ebɛn kwan do na Bible a wotsintsimii, na wɔkyerɛɛ ase no boae ma nyimpa pii tsee Bible no ase? (Hwɛ mfonyin no so.)
10 Wotsintsiim Bible no. Ansaana 1450 reba no, nna nkorɔfo dze hɔn nsa na wɔdze kyerɛw Bible no bi. Nna dɛm edwuma no gye mber pii.

Ntsi afei dze, nna hɔn a wɔkenkan Bible no botum dze dza hɔn asɔfo kyerɛkyerɛ hɔn no atoto dza Bible no ankasa ka no ho.
Jehovah maa mbarimba anokwafo bi siesiee kwan mu maa hɔn a wobefi Babylon Kɛse no mu aba no (Hwɛ nkyekyɛmu 12-14) c

12 Wɔyɛɛ nwoma ahorow a wɔdze sua Bible no. Nyimpa a nna wɔdze enyidahɔ sua Bible no suaa ndzɛmba pii fii Nyankopɔn n’Asɛm mu. Naaso, dɛm nkorɔfo no ammfa dza wosuae no annhyɛ hɔnho, ntsi asɔfo no hɔn bo fuwii. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, wɔ bɛyɛ 1835 mu no, mbarimba anokwafo binom hyɛɛ ase tsintsiim nkrataaba dze paa ator nkyerɛkyerɛ a nna asɔfo no dze kyerɛkyerɛ hɔn asɔrmba no ho tam.
