Bible no kã dɛ “oyiyii anana afɔrmbukyia, na mbea sorɔnsorɔm no, na odwuruuw edum no, na otwitwaa Asherim no gui.” (2 Mber. 14:3, 5) Ne nana Maacah mpo, otuu no adze do dɛ ɔhembaa wɔ ahendzi no mu.

Jehovah maa Asa na Judahman no nyaa asomdwee. * Ntsi mfrenhyia du wɔ Asa n’ahendzi mu no, “asaase no do dwee.” (2 Mber. 14:1, 4, 6) Adzesua yi mu no, yɛbɔhwɛ mbrɛ Asa yɛɛ n’adze wɔ asomdwee ber a ɔtse dɛm mu.

14-15. Ebɛn kwan do na Jehovah dze no tum boaa Asa?
14 Asa n’aber do no, asomdwee ber a wonyae no baa ewiei. Nsordaafo dɔm kɛse a hɔn dodow bor ɔpepem kor fi Ethiopia baa hɔn do. Nna wɔfrɛ ɔsahen a ɔda hɔn ano no Zerah. 2 Mber. 14:11
Nna ɔgye dzi papaapa dɛ ɔnye no nsordaafo dɔm no botum edzi Judahman no do konyim. Naaso, Ɔhen Asa ammfa noho annto nsordaafo dɔm a ɔwɔ no do, mbom ɔdze noho too Jehovah, ne Nyankopɔn do. Asa bɔɔ mpaa dɛ: “[Jehovah] hɛn Nyankopɔn e, boa hɛn; na ɔwoara na yɛtwer wo, na wo dzin mu na yɛaba ribehyia nyimpadodow yi.”—15 Ethiopiafo nsordaafo dɔm no, nna hɔn dodow yɛ bɛyɛ Asa no nsordaafo dɔm no mbɔho ebien. Naaso, nna Asa nyim dɛ Jehovah wɔ tum, na ɔbɔkõ ama no nkorɔfo. Ampaara, Jehovah amma ne nsa ennsi famu. Ethiopiafo nsordaafo dɔm no dzii ɔkogu pɔtɔɔ.—2 Mber. 14:8-13.
16. Yesi dɛn hu dɛ asomdwee ber a yɛwɔ mu ndɛ no nnkɛtsena hɔ afebɔɔ?

Nokwasɛm nye dɛ, Jesus kãe too hɔ dɛ, wɔ nda a odzi ekyir mu no, “amanaman nyina bɛtan” n’esuafo. (Matt. 24:9) Dɛmara so na ɔsomafo Paul kãa dɛ “hɔn a wɔpɛ dɛ wɔdze nyamesompa tsena ase wɔ Christ Jesus mu nyina bɔsɔw ahohia.” (2 Tim. 3:12) Satan afa “ebufuw kɛse,” ntsi sɛ yɛyɛ hɛn adwen dɛ ɔremmfa n’asɛm mmba hɛn do a, nna yɛredaadaa hɛnho.—Nyi. 12:12.

18 Jehovah risiesie hɛn ama dza daakye ɔbɔto hɛn no. Ɔnam “akowaa nokwafo nye nyansafo” no do ma hɛn “edziban wɔ ber a ɔsɛ mu,” mbrɛ ɔbɛyɛ a yɛbɔkɔ do egyina pintsinn wɔ ɔsom a yɛdze ma Jehovah no mu.
