Yiw, obegye yɛn afi ɔtamfo kɛse, owu, a yenya fii yɛn awofo a wodi kan no nkyɛn no nsam. (Rom. 5:12) Nanso ɔkwan bɛn so na Onyankopɔn yɛ eyi? Bible no ka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ ɔyɛ eyi denam ne Ba a ɔde no mae no so: “Onyankopɔn [yɛ] ɔdɔ. Eyi mu na Onyankopɔn dɔ no yii ne ho adi wɔ yɛn ho, sɛ Onyankopɔn somaa ne ba a ɔwoo no koro no baa wiase sɛ yɛmfa no so nnya nkwa.

9 Enti Onyankopɔn de ne ba Yesu Kristo mae ma wagye yɛn afi owu a ɛnam bɔne a yenya fii Adam mu so bae no mu. Yiw, sɛnea Bible no ka wɔ 1 Timoteo 2:6 no, Kristo “de ne ho mae sɛ nnwensa maa nnipa nyinaa” a wɔbɛkyerɛ ne mu gyidi no. Enti na Yesu betumi aka wɔ n’akyidifo a wɔte sɛ nguan no ho sɛ: “Mebae, na wɔanya nkwa, na wɔanya no mmoroso,” yiw, daa nkwa.—Yoh. 10:10.

10 Nanso, mpɛn pii no, Bible no ka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ ‘ɔdɔ Nyankopɔn’ no nso yɛ ‘aweredi Nyankopɔn.’ Dɛn ntia? Efisɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ no rentumi mma bɔne ho kwan daa. (Nah. 1:2; Deut. 32:35, 41) Ɛno nti na ɔsomafo Paulo kyerɛw “ɛda a wobeyi Awurade Yesu adi afi soro, ne tumi abɔfo, ogyaframa mu, na wadi wɔn a wonnim Nyankopɔn ne wɔn a wɔantie yɛn Awurade Yesu asɛmpa no were” ho asɛm no.

Wɔ saa wiase bɔne a nyamesom ahorow ahorow pii na ɛwɔ mu yi mu no, hwɛ hia ara a ɛho hia, sɛnea Bible ka no, ‘sɛ yɛhwehwɛ nokware Nyankopɔn no na yehu no!’—Aso. 17:27.

11 Nanso, momma yɛnsan nkɔ adesamma abakɔsɛm mfiase hɔ. Eyi bɛboa yɛn ma yɛate sɛnea Onyankopɔn dɔ ne n’aweredi di dwuma no ase yiye. Ɔdɔ mu no, Onyankopɔn ama Adam asefo kwan ma wɔadɔɔso. Nanso adesamma atuatewfo ankyerɛ ne dɔ no ho anisɔ. Enti, bɛyɛ mfe 500 akyi no, Yehowa somaa ne diyifo Henok ma ɔkaa Onyankopɔn atemmu a ɛbɛba abɔnefo so esiane wɔn nnebɔne ne abususɛm a wɔka tia Onyankopɔn nti no ho asɛm. (Yuda 14, 15) Mfe apem foforo twaam, na saa tete wiase no ɔbrasɛe ne basabasayɛ no yɛɛ mmoroso. Enti, Onyankopɔn Asɛm se “na asase asɛe wɔ Onyankopɔn anim, na anuɔden ahyɛ asase so ma. Na Onyankopɔn huu asase, na hwɛ, asɛe.”—Gen. 6:11, 12.
12 Afei, dɛn na Onyankopɔn bɛyɛ? So obedi were? Yiw! Nanso eyi mu mpo no, ne dɔ no daa adi. Dɛn nti na yɛka saa? Saa bere no, na abusua biako wɔ asase so a wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛde. Ɛno ne Noa abusua no, ɔbarima a wɔfrɛ no Bible mu “trenee kafo” no. Ɔdɔ mu no, Yehowa maa Noa pam adaka “maa ne fi nkwagye.” Afei wiase nyinaa nsuyiri no bae, na ɛpopaa Noa bere sofo nnipa bɔne no nyinaa fii hɔ. (2 Pet. 2:5; Heb. 11:7) Wɔpopaa basabasayɛ ne abrabɔ bɔne a na ɛrekɔ so no fii asase nyinaa so, ma ɛsan bɛyɛɛ beae a ɛfata sɛ adesamma mmusua horow tra na wɔwo.—Gen. 6:9, 22; 7:21-23; 8:15-17.
13. So atemmu a Yehowa de baa Sodom ne Gomora so no yɛ nea ɔdɔ nnim, na dɛn nti na wubua saa?
13 Nanso, bɔne su horow a wonya fii Adam mu no traa hɔ, na ankyɛ adesamma a wonni Nyankopɔn ho suro fii ase yii su horow a ɛmfata adi bio. (Dw. 51:5) Fa Sodom ne Gomora nkurow no mufo a na wɔte baabi a bere bi a atwam no na “ɛte sɛ Yehowa turo” no nso sɛ nhwɛso. Bible ka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ “na Sodomfo yɛ abɔnefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo akɛse wɔ Yehowa anim.” Na mmarima ne wɔn ho da, na na wodi wɔn akɔnnɔ yi ho dwuma anibere so. (Gen. 13:10, 13; 19:4-11) Yehowa, ɔdɔ Nyankopɔn no bɔɔ ne tirim sɛ ɔbɛsɛe saa nkurow no. Saa kwan yi so no na ɛho renhia sɛ ɔtreneeni Abraham ne ne wɔfase Lot kɔ so ne saa nnipa abɔnefo yi tra. Sɛnea Genesis 18:25 ka no, Yehowa a “obu asase nyinaa ntɛn” no yɛɛ ‘nea ɛteɛ.’ Ogyee Lot ne ne mmabea baanu no, nanso ɔde ogya sɛee Sodom ne Gomora, na ɔpopaa nsɛmmɔnedi a na ɛrekɔ so no fii hɔ wɔ ɔmantam no mu nyinaa.—Luka 17:29; Yuda 7.

14 Mfe dodow bi akyi no Yehowa san yɛɛ ‘nea ɛteɛ’ wɔ ne nkurɔfo Israel ho. Ɔkwan bɛn so? Ɛdenam nhyehyɛe a ɔyɛe ma wɔpam Kanaanfo fii Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no so. (Deut. 18:9-12) Ebia obi bɛka sɛ, ‘nanso so na eyi nyɛ ade a ɛmfata a wɔde yɛɛ Kanaanfo a wɔn ho nni asɛm no?’ Kanaanfo a wɔn ho nni asɛm? Ná wɔnyɛ nnipa a wɔn ho nni asɛm! Na saa Kanaanfo no ho ayɛ abofono wɔ mogya-fra a wodi, ahohwibɔ, awaresɛe, mmofra a wɔde wɔn bɔ afɔre, mmarima a wɔne wɔn ho da ne nnipa a wɔne mmoa da no mu. Sɛ nhwɛso no, wɔ wɔn atoro anyame a wɔsom no mu no, wɔde mmofra bɔɔ afɔre denam to a wɔtoo wɔn guu ogya mu animono no so. Afei nso, na wɔwɔ asɔredan mu nguamman a wɔyɛ mmarima ne mmea.a Enti, Yehowa de ahyɛde yi maa ne nkurɔfo sɛ: “Mommfa nneɛma yi biara nngu mo ho fi, na eyinom nyinaa na amanaman a merebetu wɔn afi mo anim yi de agu wɔn ho fi, na asase no so agu fi, enti na meretua ɛso amumɔyɛ no so ka, na asase no afe ɛso tefo no.”—Lev. 18:1-25, Twi Bible Foforo.
15 Afei nso, ɔdɔ a ɔwɔ ma n’ankasa ne nkurɔfo nti na Yehowa hyɛɛ Israelfo sɛ wontu saa nnebɔneyɛfo no mfi hɔ. Wɔn afideyɛ no de Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo too asiane mu. Na ɛte sɛnea Bible ka no, na ɛyɛ “Yehowa akyide.” Enti, nea ɛfata no, Onyankopɔn abufuhyew baa wɔn so.—Dw. 106:34-40; Deut. 18:12.
16. Ɔkwan bɛn so na Onyankopɔn daa ne dɔ ne ne boasetɔ adi wɔ Israel ho?
16 Nanso, Onyankopɔn ne Israelfo no dii wɔ ɔkwan bɛn so? Yehowa yii ɔdɔ kɛse adi kyerɛɛ wɔn. Mose kaa ho asɛm fɛfɛɛfɛ wɔ Deuteronomium 32:11 ne 12: “Sɛ́ ɔkɔre hwanyan ne buw na otu bɔ ne mma so mfamfia no, ɔtrɛw ne ntaban mu faa no, ɔsoaa no ne ntakra so, Yehowa nko ara na ogyaa no, na onyame nanani bi anka ne ho.” Nanso hwɛ! Bere bi akyi no ananafo anyame baa Israelfo som mu. Enti, Onyankopɔn a na waka sɛ ɔde asotwe bɛba wɔn atamfo so no de asotwe baa n’ankasa ne nkurɔfo so. Nanso hwɛ boasetɔ ara a Yehowa nyae wɔ Israel ho! Yiw, onyaa boasetɔ wɔ wɔn atuatew no ho mfe 900! Saa bere no nyinaa mu no, Yehowa yii mmɔborohunu adi wɔ wɔn ho. Yehowa Nyankopɔn kae sɛ, “ɔbɔnefo wu nyɛ me fɛ, na mmom sɛ ɔbɔnefo bɛsan afi ne kwan so na wanya nkwa. Monsan, monsan mfi mo akwammɔne so! Ɛdɛn nti na morewuwu yi, Israel fi?”—Hes. 33:11.
17. (a) Kɔkɔbɔ bɛn na Onyankopɔn de maa Israel? (b) Ɔkwan bɛn so na ne dɔ dwudwoo asotwe a ɔde baa Israel so no ano?
17 Bere ne bere mu no, Yehowa bɔɔ ne nkurɔfo kɔkɔ wɔ nea wɔn ahonisom, ahohwibɔ ne mogya a edi bem a wohwie gu de bɛba wɔn so no ho. Nanso, awiei no, ɛho hiae sɛ Yehowa de asotwe ba Israel so denam Babilon hene Nebukadnesar a ɔmaa no kwan ma ɔsɛee Yerusalem ne n’asɔrefi no so. Wɔde wɔn a wofi ɔsɛe no mu kae no kɔɔ Babilon. Nanso, mfirihyia 70 akyi no, Onyankopɔn ma wotuu Babilon gui sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na Israelfo nkaefo a wɔwɔ anisɔ betumi asan akɔ wɔn ankasa asase so na wɔasan afi ɔsom kronn ase wɔ hɔ.—2 Ahe. 24:3, 4; 2 Be. 36:12-21; Esra 1:1-3; Heb. 12:6.
YESU KA ƆDƆ NE AWEREDI HO ASƐM
18. Dɛn na Yesu kae wɔ (a) Onyankopɔn dɔ ho, ne (b) n’aweredi ho?
18 Dɛn na Yesu Kristo kae wɔ Onyankopɔn dɔ ne n’aweredi ho?

Dabida! Efisɛ Bible se, te sɛ n’Agya no na Yesu ‘dɔ trenee, na okyi amumɔyɛ.’ Na Yesu kyi nyamesom mpanyimfo no amumɔyɛ ne mogya ho fɔ a wodi no titiriw. (Heb. 1:9; Dw. 11:5, 7) Wankatakata biribiara so bere a ɔkasa kyerɛɛ ne bere so Yudafo asɔfo no anaasɛ ɔkaa wɔn ho asɛm no. Mprɛnsa wɔ ne Bepɔw so Asɛnka no mu no, ɔfrɛɛ wɔn “nyaatwomfo.” (Mat. 6:2, 5, 16) Ɔka kyerɛɛ saa asɔfo no sɛ: “Mo agya a mufi no mu ne Ɔbonsam,” na enti ansa na wɔrekum no no, Yesu kasa tiaa saa Yudafo nyamesom mpanyimfo no baguam, sɛ: “Awɔ, nhurutoa mma! Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mubeguan amanehunu kurom [Gehenna] atemmu?”—Mat. 23:13-33.

19 So eyi kyerɛ sɛ na Yesu nni dɔ? Dabida, efisɛ na Yesu nim sɛ saa Yudafo no rebekum no na wɔde bi aka wɔn mogya ho asodi no ho, nanso ɔkɔɔ so kae, wɔ Mateo ti 23 sɛ: “Yerusalem, Yerusalem, wo a wukum adiyifo na wusiw wɔn a wɔasoma wɔn wo nkyɛn abo, mpɛn ahe na anka mepɛ sɛ meboaboa wo mma ano, sɛnea akokɔtan boaboa ne mma ano ne ntaban ase, na moampɛ!
