Yehowa Yɛn Nyankopɔn Na Yɛbɛsom No
“Me ne me fi de, yɛbɛsom [Yehowa]”.—YOSUA 24:15.
1. Ɔkwan bɛn so na Yosua nhoma no yɛ nkuranhyɛ ne ahobammɔ ma yɛn?
NSƐM a ɛyɛ nwonwa a ɛwɔ Yosua nhoma no mu no yɛ nea wɔakyerɛw ato hɔ “ama yɛn kyerɛkyerɛ” ne sɛ́ “nhwɛso” a ɛbɛhyɛ yɛn a “wiase bere awiei yi ato yɛn” no nkuran na abɔ yɛn ho ban. (Romafo 15:4; 1 Korintofo 10:11) Wosi su pa ahorow te sɛ, boasetɔ, gyidi, ne osetie so dua wom. “Gyidi nti na Yeriko afasu a wotwaa ho hyiae nnanson no buruwii. Gyidi nti na aguaman Rahab a ogyee akwansrafo no asomdwoe so no ansɛe amfra wɔn a wɔannye anni no mu.” (Hebrifo 11:30, 31) Ɛsɛ sɛ Yosua, Rahab ne anokwafo afoforo a wɔtraa ase tete no gyidi no kanyan yɛn ma yenya akokoduru na yɛyɛ den na ama yɛatumi awie Onyankopɔn adwuma no nnɛ.—Yosua 10:25; Yohane 4:34.
2. (a) Ɔkwan bɛn so na Yosua yɛɛ osetie kosii ase koraa? (b) Dɛn na ɛkɔɔ so wɔ bepɔw Ebal ne Gerisim so?
2 Bere a wodii Ai so nkonim akyi no, Yosua de n’adwene sii akwankyerɛ a wɔde ama wɔ Deuteronomium 27:1—28:68 no nyinaa so. Ɔde abo sii afɔremuka wɔ bepɔw Ebal so, na ɛhɔ na odii ahyɛde no ho dwuma, sɛ: “Bɔ asomdwoe afɔre di no hɔ, na gye w’ani [Yehowa] wo Nyankopɔn anim.” Wɔde abo afoforo sisii hɔ sɛ nkaede na wɔde akadoo sraa ho na wɔkyerɛw Mmara no mu nsɛm guu so. Afei wɔkyekyɛɛ mmusuakuw no mu, ɔfã biako gyina Bepɔw Gerisim so ‘a wɔrebehyira ɔman no,’ na foforo nso ‘gyina Bepɔw Ebal so rebɛdome.’ Lewifo no maa wɔn nne so kaa asoɔden nnome ahorow no, na ɔman no nyinaa gyee so sɛ, “Amen!” Afei wɔkaa osetie ho nhyira ahorow no nso. Nanso Israel nnue, sɛ ‘wɔanni mmara no mu nsɛm nyinaa so na wɔansuro [Yehowa] Nyankopɔn din kɛse a ɛyɛ nwonwa no’ a!—Yosua 8:32-35.
3, 4. (a) Asuade kɛse bɛn na Israelfo kwan a wɔfaa so no yɛ ma yɛn nnɛ? (b) Dɛn nti na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛma asɛm koro no ara a yɛte no fono yɛn? (d) Dɛn na wɔhwehwɛ na ama yɛahyɛn “ɔpon hihiaa” no mu?
3 So Israel kɔɔ so dii ‘mmara no mu nsɛm’ so? Wɔ afotu a Mose de maa wɔn mpɛn pii no, ne nea Yosua de maa wɔn akyiri yi nyinaa akyi no, wobuu so wɔ ɔkwan a ɛyɛ yaw so. Asuade kɛse bɛn ara na eyi yɛ ma yɛn nnɛ sɛɛ yi! Kɔkɔbɔ ahorow a wɔakɔ so de ama nyinaa akyi no, ebinom wɔ hɔ a wosusuw bere nyinaa sɛ wobetumi abu wɔn ani agu nneɛma a Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ no so, ayɛ nea wɔpɛ, na wɔanya nkwa nso. Hwɛ nyansa ara a ennim! Paulo retwe adwene asi Israel osuahu ahorow no so no, ɔkae sɛ: “Nea ɛyɛ no sɛ ogyina hɔ nhwɛ yiye, na wanhwe ase.”—1 Korintofo 10:12; Ɔsɛnkafo 2:13.
4 Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo binom akasa atia kɔkɔbɔ ahorow a wɔde ma no na wɔka sɛ asɛm koro no ara a wɔte bere nyinaa no afono wɔn. Nanso mpɛn pii saafo yi ne wɔn a wodi kan tɔ Satan afiri mu. Bible mu nhoma a efi honhom mu a wɔfrɛ no Deuteronomium (wɔ Hebri mu no, Mish·neh’ hat·to·rahʹ’ a ɛkyerɛ “Mmara no mu Ntĩmu”) no yɛ nea Mose kasa atitiriw anan na ɛwɔ mu; eyi daa no adi pefee kyerɛɛ Israel sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wodi Yehowa mmara ahorow a wɔadi kan aka no so. Nsɛm a Mose de dii dwuma de bɔɔ kɔkɔ wɔ asoɔdenyɛ ne “nnome” a ebefi mu aba ho no yɛ nea ɛdɔɔso sen nea ɔde dii dwuma wɔ “nhyira” ho no bɛboro mpɛn anan. Wɔ Bepɔw Ebal ho no, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Israel bio sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ osetie. So eyi nkyerɛ yɛn hia a ɛho hia sɛ yɛbɛpere ‘ahyɛn ɔpon teateaa no mu’ no?—Mateo 7:13, 14, 24-27; 24:21, 22.
5. Atirisopam bɛn na na Israel rehyia afei, na tebea a ɛte saa ara bɛn na yehu nnɛ?
5 Afei de na nkonim koraa a ɛsɛ sɛ wodi no rebɛn. Ná wɔayi Yeriko a ɛyɛ kurow a ɛte sɛ ɔpon no afi hɔ, te sɛ nea wɔbɛsɛe atoro som bere a “ahohiahia kɛse” no afi ase no Ná Ai nso ahwe ase. Nanso afei “ahene a wɔwɔ Yordan agya ha fam mmepɔw so nyinaa ne Sefala tataw so ne po kɛse no ano nyinaa de kɔ Lebanon ntentenso, Hetifo ne Amorifo, ne Kanaanfo ne Perisifo ne Hewifo ne Yebusifo no tee no, wobehyia boaa wɔn ano yɛɛ nokoro sɛ wɔne Yosua ne Israel bɛko.” (Yosua 9:1, 2) Wɔ ne nnɛyi nsɛso mu no, yehu asase so aman ahorow no a mprempren wɔaka abom ayɛ nea wɔfrɛ no Amanaman Nkabom no. Wɔrehwehwɛ asomdwoe ne ahotɔ ama wɔn ho wɔ ɔkwan a wɔn ankasa pɛ so, nanso ‘wɔbom tu agyina hyɛ [Yehowa] ne nea wɔasra no,’ Yosua Ɔkɛse no. (Dwom 2:1, 2) Dɛn na ebefi mu aba?

Bere a mmarima yi bɛn Yosua no, wɔkae sɛ: “[Yehowa] wo Nyankopɔn no din nti na wo nkoa fi akyirikyiri asase so aba, efisɛ yɛate ne nka.” Bere a Yosua tee eyi no. “Yosua ne wɔn dii no asomdwoe mu, na ɔne wɔn yɛɛ apam sɛ wɔbɛma wɔatra ase.”—Yosua 9:3-15.
7 Nanso ankyɛ na Israel tee sɛ Gibeonfo no ‘te wɔn mu pɛɛ’! Afei Yosua bɛyɛ dɛn wɔ wɔn anifere kwan a wɔfaa so no ho? Odii apam a ɔne wɔn adi kan ayɛ no so ‘sɛ ɔbɛma wɔatra ase na wɔayɛ nnuatwafo ne nsusawfo ama asafo no nyinaa.’—Yosua 9:16-27; fa toto Deuteronomium 20:10, 11 ho.

9 Bere a Yerusalem hene Adoni-sedek tee sɛ Gibeonfo ne Israel adi asomdwoesɛm no, “wosuroe papaapa, efisɛ Gibeon yɛ kurow kɛse te sɛ ahenni nkurow no bi . .. na emu mmarima nyinaa yɛ nnɔmmarima.” Ɔne ahene afoforo baanan ka boom na wɔbɛbɔɔ Gibeon so nsra sɛ wɔne wɔn rebɛko. Ntɛm ara na Gibeonfo no kɔsrɛɛ Yosua sɛ: “Bra yɛn nkyɛn ntɛm begye yɛn nkwa na di boa yɛn.” Yosua tiei ntɛm ara, na Yehowa maa no awerɛhyem sɛ: “Nsuro wɔn, na wo nsam na mede wɔn mahyɛ, wɔn mu biara rennyina w’anim.” Yosua ne ne nnɔmmarima no nantewee “anadwo mũ no nyinaa” sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛtow ahyɛ wɔn atamfo no so mpofirim.—Yosua 10:1-9.
