Te sɛ agya a ɔwɔ ɔdɔ no, tete Israel hene, onyansafo Salomo ka sɛ: “Me ba, sɛ wutie me nsɛm, na wode me mmara nsɛm sie wo nkyɛn, sɛ wobɛyɛ asõ atie nyansa, na woakom wo koma ama ntease, yiw, sɛ wusu frɛ nhumu, na woma wo nne so frɛ ntease, sɛ wohwehwɛ n’akyi kwan sɛ dwetɛ, na wobɔre hwehwɛ no sɛ akorade a ahintaw a, ɛno na wubehu Awurade suro, na woahu Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ.”—Mmebusɛm 2:1-5.

Nyansa ne sɛ yɛde nimdeɛ a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn no bedi dwuma ɔkwan pa so. Na hwɛ sɛnea Bible no ma yenya nyansa ma no yɛ nwonwa fa! Yiw, ekura nyansasɛm pii, te sɛ nea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mmebusɛm ne Ɔsɛnkafo nhoma no mu no, na ɛsɛ sɛ yetie saa nsɛm yi. Afei nso yehu mfaso pii a wɔn a wodii mmara so no nyae ne amanehunu a wɔn a wobuu wɔn ani guu mmara so no hyiae no wɔ Bible mu. (Romafo 15:4; 1 Korintofo 10:11) Sɛ nhwɛso no, susuw odifudepɛfo Gehasi a na ɔyɛ odiyifo Elisa somfo no asɛm no ho hwɛ. (2 Ahene 5:20-27) So ɛmma yenhu nyansa a ɛwom sɛ yɛbɛkwati adifudepɛ? Na awerɛhosɛm a efii Yakob babea Dina a ɔkɔsraa Kanaan “asase no so mmea” a na ɛte sɛ nea asiane biara nni ho mu bae no nso ɛ? (Genesis 34:1-31) So ɛmma yenhu agyimisɛm a ɛwɔ fekubɔne so no?—Mmebusɛm 13:20; 1 Korintofo 15:33.

Nea ɛka nyansa a yebetie ho ne sɛ yebenya nhumu ne ntease. Sɛnea Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary kyerɛ no, nhumu yɛ “adwene mu tumi a wɔnam so hu nsonsonoe a ɛwɔ ade biako ne foforo ntam.” Nhumu a efi Onyankopɔn hɔ na ɛma yetumi hu nea ɛteɛ ne nea ɛnteɛ, na yɛpaw ɔkwan a ɛteɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa so no. Sɛ ‘yɛankom yɛn koma’ amma ntease, anaa yɛanya ɔpɛ sɛ yɛbɛhwehwɛ a, yɛbɛyɛ dɛn atumi anantew ɔkwan a “ɛkɔ nkwa mu” no so? (Mateo 7:14; fa toto Deuteronomium 30:19, 20 ho.) Onyankopɔn Asɛm a yesua de di dwuma no ma yenya nhumu.
