Nanso wɔ bɛyɛ 1593 A.Y.B. mu no, na ɛte sɛ nea ɔbabarima awo de awerɛhow brɛ Hebrifo no sen anigye. Dɛn ntia? Efisɛ Misraim Farao no, esiane suro a na osuro sɛ Yudafo a wɔwɔ n’ahemman mu no redɔɔso dodo nti, na ɔde ahyɛde ama sɛ wonkunkum wɔn mmabarima a wɔawo wɔn foforo nyinaa.—Exodus 1:12, 15-22.
Saa bere a wɔbɔɔ mmɔden atirimmɔden so sɛ wɔde okunkɛse bɛba yi ara mu na Amram ne Yokebed, Hebrifo awarefo bi, woo ɔbabarima bi a na ne ho yɛ fɛ.

Nanso, bere a Amram ne Yokebed hwɛɛ wɔn babarima ketewa no, wosii nketekrakye sɛ nea ebesi biara no, wɔrempo no.—Exodus 2:1, 2; 6:20.
Gyidi a Wɔde Yɛɛ Ade
Amram ne Yokebed de wɔn ba ketewa no hintawee asram abiɛsa. (Exodus 2:2) Nanso, na ɛyɛ hu efisɛ na Hebrifo no te bɛn Misrifo no. Ɛda adi sɛ asotwe a na obiara a wobehu sɛ ɔrebɔ mmɔden sɛ obebu Farao ahyɛde no so benya ne owu—na na wobekum abofra ketewa no nso. Ɛnde na dɛn na awofo a wɔwɔ ahofama yi betumi ayɛ de abɔ wɔn babarima no ne wɔn ankasa nkwa ho ban?
Yokebed boaboaa mmɛw ano. Mmɛw yɛ demmire a ɛyɛ den, a ɛte sɛ mpampuro, na ne dua no wɔ afã abiɛsa a ne kɛse te sɛ nsateaa. Ne tenten tumi yɛ mita 6. Misrifo no de saa afifide yi yɛɛ nkrataa, kɛtɛ, po so hyɛn ho ntama, mpaboa, ne akorow a emu yɛ hare.
Yokebed de nnua no yɛɛ adaka bi a ne ba ketewa no bɛkɔ mu. Afei ɔde ama ne mannɔ sraa ho de tetaree adaka no, na amma nsu ankɔ mu. Ɛno akyi no, Yokebed de ne ba ketewa no too adaka no mu de kɔtoo wura mu wɔ Nile Asubɔnten no ano.—Exodus 2:3.
Wokopue Abofra no So
Yokebed babea Miriam kogyinaa nkyɛn baabi hwɛɛ nea ebesi. Ɛno akyi no, Farao babea baa Nile ho beguaree.a Gyama na Yokebed nim sɛ ɔhene babea no taa ba Nile no fã hɔ nti na ɔboapa de adaka no sii baabi a wobetumi ahu no ntɛm. Sɛnea ɛte biara no, ankyɛ na Farao babea no huu adaka no sɛ ɛhyɛ wura no mu, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmaawa no biako sɛ ɔnkɔfa mmra. Bere a ohuu abofra a ɔresu no wom no, ɔyɛɛ no mmɔbɔ. Ohui sɛ ɔyɛ Hebrini abofra. Nanso, na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wama wɔakum abofra a ne ho yɛ fɛ saa? Ayamhyehye a Farao babea no nyae no da nkyɛn a, ebia Misrifo gyidi a agye din sɛ, sɛ obi bɛkɔ soro a, egyina papa a ɔbɛyɛ wɔ n’asetram so no na ɛkanyan no.b—Exodus 2:5, 6.
Miriam a na ogyina akyiri rehwɛ no pinkyɛɛ Farao babea no. Obisae sɛ: “So menkɔ menkɔfrɛ Hebrifo mmea no mu nufumafo bi memmrɛ wo, na ɔmmɛma akokoaa no nufu mma wo anaa?” Ɔhene babea no buae sɛ: “Kɔ ɛ!” Miriam de mmirika kɔɔ ne maame nkyɛn. Anni gyina na Yokebed begyinaa Farao babea no anim. Ɔhene babea no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Fa abofra yi kɔ kɔma no nufu ma me, na metua wo ka.” Ebetumi aba sɛ eduu saa bere no, na Farao babea no ahu sɛ Yokebed ne abofra ketewa no maame.—Exodus 2:7-9.
Yokebed hwɛɛ ne ba no kosii sɛ otwaa nufu.c Eyi ma onyaa hokwan a etu mpɔn pii de kyerɛkyerɛɛ no nokware Nyankopɔn, Yehowa, ho ade. Ɛno akyi no, Yokebed san de abofra no brɛɛ Farao babea no, na ɔtoo abarimaa no din Mose, a ase ne “nsu mu na woyii no fii.”—Exodus 2:10.

Satan Ɔbonsam “nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobom hwehwɛ nea obenya no amene.” (1 Petro 5:8) N’ani begye ho sɛ ne nsa bɛka mmofra—mmarimaa ne mmeawa—a wɔsom bo a wobetumi abɛyɛ Yehowa asomfo a wotu mpɔn no. Ɔnhwɛ wɔn mfe a ɛnkɔɔ anim no nhu wɔn mmɔbɔ! Ne saa nti, awofo a wonim nyansa tete wɔn mma nketewa ma wosuro nokware Nyankopɔn, Yehowa.—Mmebusɛm 22:6; 2 Timoteo 3:14, 15.
Wɔayɛ mmɔden a Amram ne Yokebed bɔe de koraa wɔn ba ketewa no so wɔ n’awo akyi asram abiɛsa no ho kyerɛwtohɔ wɔ Hebrifo 11:23 sɛ ɛyɛ adeyɛ a egye gyidi.
