Ma Afoforo Mmoa Wo

“Obi betumi adi ɔbaakofo so, nanso baanu de, wobetumi ne no de asi ani.”—Ɔsɛnkafo 4:12.

SƐ YƐMA afoforo boa yɛn a, ɔtamfo anaa ɔhaw biara nni hɔ a yɛrentumi nni so. Sɛ wopɛ sɛ wugyae sigaretnom a, ne papa mu paa no, hwehwɛ mmoa fi w’abusuafo ne wo nnamfo hɔ. Afei nso, obi foforo biara a obefi ne komam aso w’asen na wanya wo ho abotare no, ma ɔmmoa wo.

Wɔn a wɔatumi agyae sigaretnom no, wɔn paa na wobetumi aboa wo kɛse, efisɛ wɔbɛte wo ase, na wobetumi ama woahu nea wobɛyɛ. Torben yɛ Kristoni bi a ɔwɔ Denmark. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Nkurɔfo boaa me paa.” Abraham a ɔwɔ India kaa sɛ: “Ɔdɔ kann a m’abusuafo ne me nuanom Kristofo de dɔɔ me no, ɛno na ɛboaa me ma mitumi gyaee sigaretnom.” Nanso ɛtɔ da a abusuafo ne nnamfo nko ara rentumi mmoa obi mma onnyae sigaretnom.

Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Bhagwandas kaa sɛ: “Menom sigaret mfe 27 mua, nanso, bere a mibehuu nea Bible aka afa nneyɛe bi a egu yɛn ho fĩ ho no, meyɛɛ m’adwene sɛ megyae nom. Metew sigaret dodow a na menom no so. Nnipa a me ne wɔn bɔ no, mesesaa mu. Mekɔɔ wɔn a wɔn adwuma ne sɛ wotu nkurɔfo fo nkyɛn kogyee akwankyerɛ. Nanso ne nyinaa antentam. Afei anadwo bi de, mebɔɔ Yehowa Nyankopɔn mpae kaa me koma mu asɛm nyinaa kyerɛɛ no, na mepaa no kyɛw sɛ ɔmmoa me mma minnyae sigaretnom. Afei de, mitumi gyaee!”

Ade foforo a ehia sɛ woyɛ ne sɛ wubegye atom sɛ sigaret a wopɛ sɛ wugyae nom no renyɛ mmerɛw mma wo. Nneɛma bɛn saa na wobɛfa mu? Asɛm a edi hɔ no bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mu.
