YEHOWA ADANSEFO ani gye Bible ho paa. Ɛma yɛn akwankyerɛ pa, na ɛma yenya awerɛkyekye ne anidaso. (Rom. 15:4) Yemmu Bible sɛ nnipa asɛm, na mmom “sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm, sɛnea ɛte ankasa.”—1 Tes. 2:13.

Momma yɛnka, Bible yɛ nhoma a eye ma obi biara.

3, 4. (a) Yebu yɛn nhoma ahorow no sɛn? (b) Nhoma ahorow bɛn na wɔyɛ ma nnipakuw pɔtee bi?

³ Esiane sɛ yɛn ani gye Bible ho nti, Bible ho nhoma a yɛn nsa ka no nso, yɛn ani gye ho. Yɛn ani gye nhoma, nhomawa, nsɛmma nhoma, ne nhoma foforo a Yehowa de ma yɛn no ho. Yenim sɛ honhom fam aduan a Yehowa de ma yɛn no  boa yɛn ma yɛn ani da hɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn som mu, ɛma yedidi yiye, na ‘yɛyɛ den wɔ gyidi mu.’—Tito 2:2.

⁴ Nhoma a wɔyɛ ma Yehowa Adansefo akyi no, yɛn nsa ka Bible ho nhoma bi a wɔyɛ ma nnipakuw pɔtee bi. Wɔhyɛ da kyerɛw nsɛm no bi de boa mmofra, na wɔkyerɛw bi nso de boa wɔn awofo. Nhoma dodow no ara a wotintim ne nsɛm a ɛwɔ yɛn wɛbsaet no, wɔhyɛ da kyerɛw no sɛnea ɛbɛboa wɔn a wɔnyɛ Adansefo nso. Honhom fam aduan pii a yɛn nsa ka no kae yɛn sɛ, ɛbɔ a Yehowa ahyɛ sɛ ‘ɔbɛtow aman nyinaa pon’ no, wadi so.—Yes. 25:6.

5. Dɛn na yebetumi anya awerɛhyem sɛ Yehowa ani sɔ?

⁵ Yɛn mu bebree yam a anka yenya bere pii kenkan Bible ne Bible ho nhoma a yɛn nsa ka no. Yebetumi anya awerɛhyem sɛ Yehowa ani sɔ sɛ yɛtɔ ‘bere a yebenya biara’ de kenkan Bible na yɛde sua ade. (Efe. 5:15, 16) Nokwasɛm ne sɛ, ɛnyɛ bere nyinaa na yebetumi adi honhom fam aduan a yɛn nsa ka no nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ. Nanso asiane bi wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhwɛ yɛn ho yiye wɔ ho. Ɛyɛ asiane bɛn?

6. Honhom fam aduan a Yehowa de ma yɛn no, dɛn na ebetumi ama yɛahwere emu bi?

⁶ Anhwɛ a, yebetumi anya adwene sɛ honhom fam aduan bi remmoa yɛn. Adwene a ɛte saa betumi ama yɛahwere mfaso a ɛwɔ so. Sɛ ɛba sɛ nsɛm a Bible no fã bi ka mfa yɛn ho a, dɛn na yɛbɛyɛ? Anaa nsɛm a ɛwɔ Bible ho nhoma bi mu no, ɛnyɛ yɛn titiriw nti na wɔkyerɛwee nso ɛ? So yɛbɛkenkan nsɛm a ɛte saa biarabiara anaa yɛrenkenkan koraa? Sɛ yɛyɛ saa a, nsɛm bi a ɛso wɔ mfaso paa no, yebetumi ahwere. Dɛn na yɛbɛyɛ na asɛm a ɛte saa anto yɛn? Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛtoto honhom fam aduan a yɛn nsa ka no biara ase. Adɛn ntia? Efisɛ ne nyinaa fi Onyankopɔn hɔ. Onyankopɔn nam odiyifo Yesaia so kae sɛ: “Me Yehowa, mene wo Nyankopɔn, nea ɔkyerɛ wo ade a eye ma wo.” (Yes. 48:17) Momma yensusuw nyansahyɛ mmiɛnsa bi ho. Ɛbɛboa yɛn ama Bible no afã nyinaa ne honhom fam aduan a yɛn nsa ka biara no, yɛanya so mfaso.

7. Adɛn nti na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛka sɛ Bible no fã bi a yɛrekenkan mfa yɛn ho?

⁷ Nka sɛ nea merekenkan yi mfa me ho. Bible ka no pefee sɛ: “Kyerɛwnsɛm no nyinaa fi Onyankopɔn honhom mu, na eye.” (2 Tim. 3:16) Ɛwom, Bible no afã bi wɔ hɔ a mfiase no wɔkyerɛw maa ankorankoro anaa nnipakuw bi. Ɛno nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde adwempa kenkan Kyerɛwnsɛm no. Onua bi kae sɛ: “Sɛ merekenkan Bible a, mema ɛtena m’adwene mu sɛ metumi anya asuade bi afi mu.” Ɔde kaa ho sɛ: “Wei ma minya ntease bi a anka ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ menya no ntɛm.” Sɛ yɛrebɛkenkan Onyankopɔn Asɛm a, ɛyɛ papa sɛ yɛbɔ mpae hwehwɛ adwempa ne nyansa. Sɛ yɛyɛ saa a, yebenya ntease a Yehowa pɛ sɛ yɛn nsa ka no.—Esra 7:10; kenkan Yakobo 1:5.

8, 9. (a) Sɛ yɛrekenkan Bible a, nsɛm bɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ yebisa yɛn ho? (b) Nea wɔhwehwɛ sɛ Kristofo mpanyimfo yɛ no, dɛn na ɛma yehu fa Yehowa ho?

⁸ Bisa nsɛm. Sɛ worekenkan Bible na wudu baabi a, twɛn kakra na bisa wo ho nsɛm a edidi so yi: ‘Dɛn na saa asɛm yi ma mihu fa Yehowa ho? Mɛyɛ dɛn de saa asɛm yi abɔ me bra? Mɛyɛ dɛn de aboa afoforo?’ Sɛ yesusuw nsɛmmisa a ɛte saa ho a, sɛnea ɛte biara, yebenya Bible akenkan so mfaso pii. Nhwɛso bi ni. Wo de, susuw Kyerɛwnsɛm mu ahwehwɛde a ɛma mmarima bi fata sɛ Kristofo asafo mu mpanyimfo no ho hwɛ. (Kenkan 1 Timoteo 3:2-7.) Esiane sɛ yɛn mu dodow  no ara nyɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo nti, anhwɛ a yɛbɛka sɛ asɛm no mfa yɛn ho papa. Nanso sɛ yesusuw nsɛmmisa a edidi so yi ho kakra a, yebehu sɛ yɛn nyinaa betumi anya saa ahwehwɛde no so mfaso wɔ akwan pii so.

⁹ Dɛn na saa asɛm yi ma mihu fa Yehowa ho? Yehowa ama yɛahu suban a ɛsɛ sɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo da no adi. Wei kyerɛ sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔbɛpaw wɔn sɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo no yɛ wɔn a asɛm nni wɔn ho. Yehowa hwɛ kwan sɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo bɛyɛ nhwɛso pa. Yehowa ‘de n’ankasa Ba mogya na ɛtɔɔ’ asafo no, enti sɛnea mpanyimfo no ne asafo no mufo bɛtena no, wobebu ho akontaa. (Aso. 20:28) Yehowa pɛ sɛ, sɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo rehwɛ yɛn so a, yɛn bo tɔ yɛn yam. (Yes. 32:1, 2) Kyerɛwnsɛm mu ahwehwɛde a Yehowa pɛ sɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo de bɔ wɔn bra no ma yehu sɛ odwen yɛn ho paa.

10, 11. (a) Sɛ yɛkenkan nea wɔhwehwɛ fi asafo mu mpanyimfo hɔ a, yɛbɛyɛ dɛn de saa asɛm no abɔ yɛn bra? (b) Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn de saa asɛm no aboa afoforo?

¹⁰ Mɛyɛ dɛn de saa asɛm yi abɔ me bra? Ɛwom ara a, ɛsɛ sɛ asafo mu panyin hwehwɛ ne mu hwɛ sɛ ɔredi ahwehwɛde no so anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ saa de hwehwɛ baabi a ehia sɛ ɔyere ne ho. Sɛ onuabarima bi “pɛ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ ahwɛfo adwuma” a, ehia sɛ osusuw saa ahwehwɛde no ho yiye, na ɔyɛ nea obetumi biara du ho. (1 Tim. 3:1) Nokwasɛm ne sɛ, ahwehwɛde a wɔabobɔ din wɔ kyerɛwsɛm no mu no, Yehowa pɛ sɛ Kristoni biara sua biribi fi mu. Nea wɔaka wɔ hɔ no mu dodow no ara, Yehowa pɛ sɛ Kristofo nyinaa di so. Sɛ nhwɛso no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa da ntease adi na yɛma yɛn adwene mu da hɔ. (Filip. 4:5; 1 Pet. 4:7) Sɛ asafo mu mpanyimfo yɛ “nhwɛso mma nguankuw no” a, yebetumi asua nneɛma pii afi wɔn hɔ na ‘yɛasuasua wɔn gyidi.’—1 Pet. 5:3; Heb. 13:7.

¹¹ Mɛyɛ dɛn de saa asɛm yi aboa afoforo? Yebetumi de nea wɔhwehwɛ fi asafo mu mpanyimfo hɔ no aboa wɔn a wɔkyerɛ asɛmpa no ho anigye anaa yɛn Bible asuafo. Ɛbɛma wɔahu nsonsonoe a ɛwɔ Yehowa Adansefo asafo no mu mpanyimfo ne Kristoman asɔfo ntam. Afei nso, bere a yɛrekenkan ahwehwɛde no,  yebetumi akae adwumaden a mpanyimfo no reyɛ wɔ yɛn asafo mu. Sɛ yesusuw nea wɔyɛ no ho a, ɛma yenya ‘obu ma wɔn a wɔyɛ adwumaden wɔ yɛn mu’ no. (1 Tes. 5:12) Sɛ yɛda obu a emu dɔ adi kyerɛ ahwɛfo a wɔyɛ adwumaden yi a, yɛma wɔn ani gye paa.—Heb. 13:17.

12, 13. (a) Nnwinnade a yɛwɔ no, nhwehwɛmu bɛn na yebetumi de ayɛ? (b) Sɛ yehu nea ɛmaa wɔkyerɛw asɛm bi a, ebetumi ama yɛanya asuade bi a anka ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ yebehu no ntɛm. Ma ɛho nhwɛso.

Sɛ yehu nsɛm a ɛte saa a, ɛbɛboa yɛn ama yɛanya asuade a anka ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ yebehu no ntɛm.

¹³ Yɛmfa Hesekiel 14:13, 14 sɛ nhwɛso. Ɛhɔ kenkan sɛ: “Sɛ asase bi anni nokware na ɛyɛ me bɔne a, mɛteɛ me nsa wɔ so na mabubu dua a wɔde paanoo nkuruwankuruwa sensɛn so no; mɛma ɔkɔm aba so na matwa onipa ne aboa biara afi so. Na sɛ Noa, Daniel, ne Hiob wɔ hɔ a, anka mmarima baasa yi trenee nti, wobegye wɔn kra, Awurade Tumfoɔ Yehowa asɛm ni.” Sɛ yɛyɛ nhwehwɛmu a, yebehu sɛ Hesekiel kyerɛw ne nhoma no fã yi bɛyɛ afe 612 A.Y.B.

Ɛne sɛ Yehowa hu n’asomfo a wodi nokware nyinaa, na n’ani wɔ wɔn so.—Dw. 148:12-14.
