5. Ebɛnadze ntsi na yebotum akã dɛ, Bible no fi “Nyame ahom mu”?

 ⁵ Bible no fi Nyankopɔn anaa “Nyame ahom mu.” (Kenkan 2 Timothy 3:16.) Naaso, ibia nyimpa binom bosusu dɛ, ‘Nkyɛ nyimpa na wɔkyerɛɛw Bible no, ntsi ɔbɛyɛ dɛn na oeefi Nyankopɔn nkyɛn?’ Bible no yi ano dɛ: “Nyimpa fi Nyame mu kasaa dɛ mbrɛ Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn kãa hɔn.” (2 Peter 1:21) Yebotum dze iyi atoto edwumawura bi a ɔma ne kyerɛwfo kyerɛw krataa ho. Woana ne nsɛm na ɔkyerɛwfo no kyerɛwee? Ɔyɛ edwumawura no ne nsɛm, na nnyɛ ɔkyerɛwfo no ne dze bi a. Dɛm pɛpɛɛpɛr so na Nyankopɔn nye Bible no ne Kyerɛwfo na nnyɛ nyimpa a ɔmaa wɔkyerɛwee no. Nyankopɔn na ɔkyerɛɛ hɔn kwan ma wɔkyerɛɛw no nsusui. Bible no yɛ “Nyankopɔn asɛm” ampa.​—1 Thessalonicafo 2:13; hwɛ Nsɛm bi a Wɔakyerɛ Mu 2.

6, 7. Ebɛnadze ntsi na yebotum akã dɛ Bible no mu nsɛm hyia?

⁶ Wɔdze mfe bɔbor 1,600 kyerɛɛw Bible no. Akyerɛwfo no anntsena ase wɔ ber kor mu. Nna binom nyim nwoma papaapa na binom so nnyim nwoma ahen biara. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, nna hɔn mu kor yɛ dɔkta. Nna binom so yɛ ekuafo, afarfo, nguanhwɛfo, nkɔnhyɛfo, atsɛmbuafo nye ahemfo. Ɔmmfa ho dɛ nna ɔsor akyerɛwfo no mu biara no, Bible no nnye noho mmbɔ ebira. Bible no nnkã asɛm bi wɔ tsir kor mu na ɔnnkã fofor a ɔnye asɛm no bɔ ebira wɔ tsir fofor mu. *

⁷ Bible mu nwoma a odzi kan no ma yehu mbrɛ ɔyɛɛ a adasamba haw hyɛɛ ase. Nwoma a odzi ewiei no ma yehu mbrɛ Nyankopɔn besi edzi ɔhaw no ho dwuma dze nam asaase a ɔbɛma ɔadan paradise no do. Bible no mu nsɛm ma yehu nyimpa n’abakɔsɛm bɛyɛ mfrenhyia mpempem pii a etwa mu no, na ɔma yehu dɛ, Nyankopɔn ne tsirmpɔw ba mu ber nyina.

8. Ma nhwɛdo ahorow a ɔkyerɛ dɛ, dza Bible no kã wɔ abɔdzenyansahu ho no yɛ nokwar.

⁸ Wɔannkyerɛɛw Bible no dɛ buukuu a wɔdze bɛkyerɛ abɔdzenyansahu anaa dɛ buukuu a wɔdze bɛkyerɛ adze wɔ skuul. Naaso, dza Bible no kã wɔ abɔdzenyansahu ho no yɛ nokwar ber nyina. Dɛm na yɛhwɛ kwan dɛ buukuu a ofi Nyankopɔn nkyɛn no bɛyɛ. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, Nyankopɔn maa Israelfo no mbra wɔ Leviticus nwoma no mu a ɔkyerɛ ɔkwan a wobotum afa do esiw yarba kwan ma ɔnntserɛw. Wɔdze dɛm mbra yi mae ber tsentsen ansaana nyimpa ruhu mbrɛ mbowaba a enyiwa nnhu hɔn dze yarba ba no. Bible no kyerɛkyerɛ nokwasɛm a ɔnye dɛ, asaase sɛn  mbrɛ hwee nnyi. (Job 26:7) Wɔ ber a nna nyimpa dodow no ara gye dzi dɛ asaase yɛ tɛtɛr no, nna Bible akã dɛ ɔyɛ kɔntɔnkrɔn.​—Isaiah 40:22.

9. Ebɛnadze na nokwardzi a Bible akyerɛwfo no daa no edzi no ma yehu?

⁹ Sɛ Bible no kã abakɔsɛm ho asɛm a, ɔkã no pɛpɛɛpɛr. Naaso, abakɔsɛm nwoma ahorow pii wɔ hɔ a no mu nsɛm no bi nnyɛ nokwar, osiandɛ akyerɛwfo no nnyɛ anokwafo. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, sɛ hɔn man dzi ɔkogu wɔ ɔkõ mu a, nna wɔnntaa nnkyerɛw ho asɛm. Naaso, nna Bible akyerɛwfo no yɛ anokwafo na ber mpo a Israelman dzii ɔkogu wɔ ɔkõ mu no, wɔkãa ho asɛm. Bio so, wɔkyerɛɛw mfomdo ahorow a wodzii no ho asɛm. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, Moses kãa bɔn a enyiber wɔ mu a ɔyɛe a Nyankopɔn twee n’aso ho asɛm wɔ Nkanee nwoma no mu. (Nkanee 20:2-12) Nokwardzi a Bible akyerɛwfo no daa no edzi no ma yehu pefee dɛ, Bible no yɛ nwoma a ofi Nyankopɔn nkyɛn ampa. Iyi kyerɛ dɛ, yebotum enya Bible no mu ahotodo.

10. Ebɛnadze ntsi na afotu a Bible no dze ma no do wɔ mfaso ma hɛn ndɛ?

¹⁰ Bible no fi “Nyame ahom mu na oye ma nkyerɛkyerɛ, nkaenyim, ntsẽa.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Ɔyɛ nokwar dɛ, afotu a Bible no dze ma no do wɔ mfaso ma hɛn ndɛ. Osiandɛ Jehovah na ɔbɔɔ hɛn ntsi, ɔtse hɛn nsusui nye hɛn nkãtse ase. Onyim hɛn yie sen mbrɛ hɛnankasa yenyim hɛnho na ɔpɛ dɛ hɛn enyi gye. Onyim dza oye ma hɛn a ɔsɛ dɛ yɛyɛ nye dza obepira hɛn a ɔnnsɛ dɛ yɛyɛ.

11, 12. (a) Ebɛn afotu a odzi mu na Jesus dze mae wɔ Matthew etsir 5 kesi 7 no? (b) Ebɛnadze bio na yebotum esũa wɔ Bible no mu?

¹¹ Yebotum akenkan afotu a odzi mu a Jesus dze mae wɔ Matthew etsir 5 kesi 7 no. Jesus kyerɛɛ mbrɛ yebotum enya enyigye, mbrɛ yebotum nye afofor atsena, mbrɛ yɛmbɔ  mpaa nye adwen a ɔsɛ dɛ yenya wɔ sika ho. Ɔmmfa ho dɛ, ɔdze afotu yi mae no mfrenhyia 2,000 etwa mu no, tum na mfaso wɔ do ndɛ tse dɛ mbrɛ nna ɔtse ber a ɔdze mae no ara.

Ɔmmfa ho nyimpa ban a yɛyɛ, bea a yɛtse anaa ɔhaw ahorow a yehyia no, Bible ngyinadonsɛm botum aboa hɛn ber nyina.​—Kenkan Isaiah 48:17; hwɛ Nsɛm bi a Wɔakyerɛ Mu 3.

13. Ebɛn asɛm na Isaiah kãa dɛ ɔbɔto Babylon kurow no?

¹³ Bible nkɔnhyɛ ahorow pii aba mu dadaw. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, Isaiah hyɛɛ nkɔm dɛ wɔbɛsɛɛ Babylon kurow no. (Isaiah 13:19) Ɔkyerɛɛ ɔkwan pɔtsee a wobodua do asɛɛ kurow no. Nna esutsen nye aponkɛse na wɔdze agye kurow no ho ban. Naaso, Isaiah hyɛɛ nkɔm dɛ, esutsen no bɔwew na wɔnnkɔtotow aponkɛse no mu. Nsordaafo a wɔrobɔtow ahyɛ kurow no do no bɛfa kurow no a obiara nnye hɔn nnkɔkõ. Isaiah hyɛɛ nkɔm dɛ, ɔbarimba bi a wɔfrɛ no Cyrus na ɔbɛsɛɛ Babylon kurow no.​—Kenkan Isaiah 44:27–45:2; hwɛ Nsɛm bi a Wɔakyerɛ Mu 4.

14, 15. Ebɛn kwan do na Isaiah nkɔnhyɛ no baa mu?

¹⁴ Wɔ mfrenhyia 200 ekyir a wɔkyerɛɛw nkɔnhyɛ no too hɔ no, nsordaafo bi baa dɛ, wɔrobɔtow ahyɛ Babylon kurow no do. Nna woana nye hɔn sahen? Dɛ mbrɛ nkɔnhyɛ no kyerɛe no, nna ɔyɛ Persia hen a wɔfrɛ no Cyrus. Nna ber asõ dɛ nkɔnhyɛ no ne fã a ɔaka no ba mu.

¹⁵ Wɔ anafua a wɔtowee hyɛɛ kurow no do no, nna Babylonfo no ridzi afahyɛ. Wɔtsee nkã dɛ wɔwɔ ahobambɔ, osiandɛ nna wɔdze esutsen nye aban atsentsen agye  kurow no ho ban. Cyrus nye no nsordaafo a nna wɔwɔ kurow no ekyir no tuu bɔnka dze daan esutsen no enyi mbrɛ ɔbɛyɛ a ɔbɔwew. Esutsen no wewee dur beebi a nna Persia nsordaafo no botum etwa. Naaso, nna nsordaafo no bɛyɛ dɛn ahɛn Babylon kurow a n’aban yɛ atsentsen yi mu? Dɛ mbrɛ nkɔnhyɛ no kyerɛe no, wɔanntotow kurow no apon  no mu, ntsi nsordaafo no faa kurow no a obiara annye hɔn annkõ.

16. (a) Ebɛn asɛm na Isaiah kãe too hɔ dɛ ewiei koraa no ɔbɔto Babylon? (b) Yesi dɛn hu dɛ Isaiah no nkɔnhyɛ no baa mu ampa?

¹⁶ Isaiah hyɛɛ nkɔm dɛ, ewiei koraa no obiara nnkɛtsena Babylon kurow no mu bio. Dza ɔkãe nye dɛ: “Wɔrenntsena mu ara da, eso wɔrenntsena hɔ ofi ebusuasantsen kesi ebusuasantsen.” (Isaiah 13:20) Aso nkɔnhyɛ yi baa mu? Ofi Iraq ahenkurow Baghdad anaafo afamu dze kɔ beebi a nna Babylon kurow no wɔ no yɛ kilomita 80. Hɔ adan amamfõ koraa. Dze besi ndɛ mpo no, obiara nntse hɔ. Jehovah dze “ɔsɛɛ mena” apra Babylon.​—Isaiah 14:22, 23. *

17. Ebɛnadze ntsi na yebotum enya ahotodo wɔ Nyankopɔn n’anohoba ahorow nyina mu?

¹⁷ Nokwasɛm nye dɛ, Bible nkɔnhyɛ pii aba mu dadaw. Iyi kyerɛ dɛ yebotum enya ahotodo wɔ dza Bible no kã fa  daakye ho no mu. Yebotum enya awerɛhyɛmu dɛ, Jehovah bɛma n’anohoba a ɔnye dɛ ɔbɛma asaase adan paradise no aba mu. (Kenkan Nkanee 23:19.) Nokwar mu no, yɛwɔ enyidado “wɔ onnyiewiei nkwa do a Nyankopɔn a onndzi ator dze bɔɔ anohoba tsetseetse no” mu.​—Titus 1:2. *

18. Ebɛn asɛm na Paul kãa faa “Nyankopɔn asɛm” ho?

¹⁸ Yeehu dɛ buukuu biara nnyi hɔ a ɔtse dɛ Bible no. No mu nsɛm hyia, na sɛ ɔkã abɔdzenyansahu nye abakɔsɛm ho asɛm a, ɔkã no pɛpɛɛpɛr. Bio so, Bible no ma hɛn afotu a ɔyɛ papa na no mu nkɔnhyɛ pii aba mu dadaw. Naaso, Bible no tum yɛ dza ɔsen iyinom koraa. Ɔsomafo Paul kyerɛɛw dɛ: “Nyankopɔn asɛm wɔ nkwa, ahoɔdzen wɔ mu.” Dɛm asɛm yi kyerɛ dɛn?​—Kenkan Hebrewfo 4:12.

19, 20. (a) Ebɛn kwan do na Bible no botum aboa wo ma aayɛ woho mu nhwehwɛmu? (b) Ibesi dɛn akyerɛ Bible a ɔyɛ akyɛdze no ho enyisɔ?

¹⁹ Bible no botum asesã w’asetsena. Obotum aboa wo ma eehu nyimpa ban a eyɛ ankasa. Bible no botum aboa wo ma aatse wo nsusui nye wo nkãtse a no mu dɔ paa no ase. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, ibia yɛbɛkã dɛ yɛdɔ Nyankopɔn. Naaso, sɛ yebotum ada no edzi dɛ yɛdɔ no a, ɔsɛ dɛ yɛdze dza Bible no kã no dzi dwuma.

²⁰ Bible no yɛ nwoma a ofi Nyankopɔn nkyɛn ampa. Ɔpɛ dɛ ekenkan, isũa na ekyerɛ ho enyigye. Kɔ do sũa Bible no fa kyerɛ dɛ w’enyi sɔ akyɛdze yi. Iyi bɛma enya Nyankopɔn no botae a ɔwɔ ma adasamba no ho ntseasee. Yebosũa dɛm botae yi ho adze pii wɔ tsir a odzi hɔ no mu.
