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.

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.

Ɔkwan bɛn so na yebetumi ‘afrɛ ntease’—tumi a ɛma wotumi hu sɛnea asɛm bi afã horow ne ne fã foforo hyia? Onyinkyɛ ne osuahu, yɛ ade a ebetumi aboa yɛn ma yɛanya ntease kɛse—nanso ɛnyɛ bere nyinaa na ɛte saa. (Hiob 12:12; 32:6-12) Odwontofo no kae sɛ: “Mihu ade mu mesen mpanyimfo, na mehwɛ wo [Yehowa] nsiesie midi so.” Ɔtoo dwom nso sɛ: “Wo nsɛm mu bue ma hann, ɛma nkwasea hu nyansa.” (Dwom 119:100, 130) Yehowa ne “nea ne nna akyɛ” no na ɔwɔ ntease a ɛboro adesamma nyinaa de so. (Daniel 7:13) Onyankopɔn betumi ama obi a onni suahu anya ntease ma wasen wɔn a wɔanyinyin sen no mpo. Enti ɛsɛ sɛ yesua Onyankopɔn Asɛm Bible no, anibere so na yɛde di dwuma.

Dɛn nti na ɔkyerɛwfo no de saa nsɛm no dii dwuma mpɛn pii saa? Nhwehwɛmu bi ka sɛ: “Adwene a ɛwom [wɔ ha] ne sɛ esi hia a ehia sɛ wɔhwehwɛ nyansa akyi kwan denneennen so dua.” Yiw, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyere yɛn ho hwehwɛ nyansa ne su horow a ɛka ho—nhumu ne ntease akyi kwan.
