“Onyankopɔn, bɔ koma a emu tew ma me, na yɛ honhom foforo a ase tim wɔ me mu.”—DWOM 51:10.
1, 2. Dɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛma yɛn koma ho asɛm hia yɛn?
NÁ ƆYƐ ɔbarima tenten a ne ho yɛ fɛ. Bere a odiyifo Samuel huu no pɛ, n’ani gyee ne ho yiye ma ɔkae sɛ Yisai babarima panyin yi ne nea Onyankopɔn apaw no sɛ onni Saul ade sɛ ɔhene. Nanso, Yehowa kae sɛ: “Nhwɛ [saa ɔbabarima no] ho tebea ne ne nipadua tentenyɛ, na mempɛ no; . . onipa hwɛ nea etua aniwa, na [Yehowa, NW] de, ɔhwɛ komam.” Yisai ba kumaa, Dawid—Yehowa “koma so barima” no na ɔpaw no.—1 Samuel 13:14; 16:7.
2 Onyankopɔn tumi hu onipa komam, sɛnea ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ mu akyiri yi no: “Me, [Yehowa, NW], na mehwehwɛ koma mu, mesɔ asaabo mehwɛ, na mɛma obiara sɛ n’akwan te, sɛ ne nsɛnnii aba no te.” (Yeremia 17:10) Yiw, ‘Yehowa na ɔhwehwɛ koma mu.’ (Mmebusɛm 17:3) Nanso, koma bɛn na ɛwɔ onipa mu a Yehowa hwehwɛ mu no? Na yɛbɛyɛ dɛn atumi anya koma a ɔpɛ no?
“Komam Nipa a Wahintaw No”
3, 4. Ɔkwan titiriw bɛn so na wɔde asɛmfua “koma” di dwuma wɔ Bible mu? Ma nhwɛso ahorow.
3 Asɛmfua “koma” pue bɛyɛ mpɛn apem wɔ Kyerɛw Kronkron no mu. Mpɛn pii no, wɔde di dwuma wɔ sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so. Sɛ nhwɛso no, Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ odiyifo Mose sɛ: “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no na wɔmmɛma me somã afɔrebɔde. Obiara a ne koma ka no nkyɛn na munnye me somã afɔrebɔde.” “Wɔbae, obiara a ne koma kanyan no” no, bɛmaa ntoboa ahorow no. (Exodus 25:2; 35:21) Ɛda adi sɛ, sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so koma ho ade biako ne sɛ ɛkanyan nnipa—tumi a ɛwɔ yɛn mu a ɛma yɛyɛ ade no. Yɛn sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so koma no da adi nso wɔ yɛn nkate, yɛn akɔnnɔde, ne nneɛma a yɛn ani gye ho mu. Abufuw anaa ehu tumi hyɛ koma ma, na awerɛhow anaa anigye tumi hyɛ no ma. (Dwom 27:3; 39:3; Yohane 16:22; Romafo 9:2) Ebetumi ama ne ho so anaa abrɛ ne ho ase, ebetumi ada ɔdɔ anaa nitan adi.—Mmebusɛm 16:5; Mateo 11:29; 1 Petro 1:22.
4 Sɛnea ɛte no, wɔtaa de “koma” ka nkuranhyɛ ne nkate ho asɛm, bere a wɔde “adwene” ka nsusuwii ho asɛm no. Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛte nsɛm yi ase bere a epue wɔ Kyerɛwnsɛm no mu wɔ ɔkwan koro so no. (Mateo 22:37; Filipifo 4:7) Nanso koma ne adwene no nyɛ ade a enhyia. Sɛ nhwɛso no, Mose hyɛɛ Israelfo no nkuran sɛ: “Enti hu nnɛ, na fa sie wo koma mu [anaasɛ, “fa sie w’adwenem,” NW ase hɔ asɛm], sɛ [Yehowa, NW] ne Nyankopɔn, nyame so wɔ ɔsoro, ne asase so wɔ fam; obi nni hɔ bio.” (Deuteronomium 4:39) Yesu ka kyerɛɛ kyerɛwfo a na wɔrebɔ ne ho pɔw bɔne no sɛ: “Adɛn nti na mudwen bɔne mo koma mu?” (Mateo 9:4) Yebetumi de “nhumu” ne ‘adwennwen’ nso abata koma no ho. (1 Ahene 3:12; Mmebusɛm 15:14; Marko 2:6) Enti, sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so koma no betumi afa yɛn adwene ho nso—yɛn nsusuwii anaa yɛn ntease.
5. Sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so koma no gyina hɔ ma dɛn?

Enti, Dawid tumi bɔɔ mpae sɛ: “Onyankopɔn, bɔ koma a emu tew ma me, na yɛ honhom foforo a ase tim wɔ me mu.” (Dwom 51:10) Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn atumi anya koma a emu tew?
“Momfa Mo Koma” Nto Onyankopɔn Asɛm So
6. Afotu bɛn na Mose de maa Israelfo no bere a na wɔahyiam wɔ Moab Asasetaw no so no?
6 Bere a Mose retu Israelfo a na wɔahyiam wɔ Moab Asasetaw so fo, bere a aka kakra ma wɔadu Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no, ɔkae sɛ: “Momfa mo koma nto nsɛm a meredi mo ho adanse nnɛ yi so, na mode ahyɛ mo mma, sɛ wɔnhwɛ mmara yi mu nsɛm nyinaa nni so.” (Deuteronomium 32:46) Na ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo no “yɛ aso tie.” (Knox) Sɛ na wohu Onyankopɔn ahyɛde ahorow no yiye nkutoo a na na wobetumi de akyerɛkyerɛ wɔn mma.—Deuteronomium 6:6-8.
7. Dɛn na ‘yɛn koma a yɛde bɛto’ Onyankopɔn Asɛm so no kyerɛ?

(2 Timoteo 3:16, 17) Nanso, nimdeɛ nkutoo remmoa yɛn mma yennya koma a ɛsɔ Yehowa ani. Sɛ nimdeɛ bɛka yɛn mu nipa no a, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde nea yɛresua no ‘to yɛn koma so,’ anaasɛ “yetie.” (Deuteronomium 32:46, An American Translation) Ɔkwan bɛn so na yɛyɛ eyi? Odwontofo Dawid kyerɛkyerɛ mu sɛ: “Mekae tete nna, midwen wo nneyɛe nyinaa ho, misusuw wo nsa ano nnwuma ho.”—Dwom 143:5.
8. Sɛ yɛresua ade a, nsɛmmisa bɛn na yebetumi asusuw ho?

Nanso, Kristofo a wɔwɔ hɔ nnɛ gyina Bɔhyɛ Asase a emu yɛ anigye—Onyankopɔn trenee wiase foforo no—aboboano.

(Adiyisɛm 17:1, 2, 5, 15-17; Hesekiel 38:1-4, 14-16; 39:2) Nneɛma a ɛrebɛba no betumi asɔ ɔdɔ a yɛwɔ ma Yehowa no ahwɛ. Ɛho hia sɛ yɛtɔ bere mprempren na yɛde yɛn koma to Onyankopɔn Asɛm so!—Efesofo 5:15, 16.

11 Yebetumi de sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so koma no atoto asase a yebetumi agu nokware no aba wom no ho. (Mateo 13:18-23) Yɛtaa siesie asase sɛnea ɛbɛma nnɔbae ayɛ yiye. Saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yesiesie yɛn koma, anaasɛ yɛyɛ no krado, na ama atumi agye Onyankopɔn Asɛm no yiye. Ɔsɔfo Esra ‘siesiee ne koma sɛ ɔbɛhwehwɛ Yehowa mmara na wadi so.’ (Esra 7:10) Ɔkwan bɛn so na yebetumi asiesie yɛn koma?

Lidia a ofi Tiatra tiee Paulo, ‘na Yehowa buee ne komam sɛ ontie.’ Ɔno nso bɛyɛɛ gyidini.

Mmom no, momma yennya ɔpɛ sɛ ‘yɛbɛma Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔnokwafo, na onipa biara ayɛ ɔtorofo.’—Romafo 3:4.

15. Ɔkwan bɛn so na ahobrɛase boa yɛn ma yɛyɛ nkurɔfo a wotumi kyerɛkyerɛ yɛn yiye?

Ahobrɛase ma koma no yɛ bɛtɛɛ, ɛboa yɛn ma yɛbɛyɛ nkurɔfo a wotumi kyerɛkyerɛ yɛn. Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ Yuda hene Yosia sɛ: “Esiane sɛ wo koma yɛ bɛtɛɛ na woabrɛ wo ho ase [Yehowa, NW] anim, sɛ wotee nea maka, . . . na woasunsuane wo ntade mu na woasu m’anim nti, me nso mate.” (2 Ahene 22:19) Ná Yosia koma yɛ bɛtɛɛ, na na etie asɛm.

17 Ɔhene Salomo tuu fo sɛ: “Fa wo koma nyinaa bata [Yehowa, NW] ho, na mfa wo ho ntweri wo nhumu.” (Mmebusɛm 3:5) Koma a ɛwɔ Yehowa mu ahotoso no nim sɛ biribiara a Obisa anaa ɔnam N’asɛm so kyerɛkyerɛ no teɛ bere nyinaa.
