Nsɛm asekyerɛfo kyerɛ ase “odwo,” “mmɔborohunu,” “boasetɔ,” ne “tema.” New World Translation no kyerɛ ase sɛ “ɛwɔ ntease,” na n’ase hɔ asɛm bi kyerɛ sɛ nea ɛkyerɛ ankasa ne sɛ “egyae nsɛm mu ma ɛka.”a Ntease foforo nso a asɛmfua no kura ne sɛ wɔnhyɛ nkurɔfo sɛ wonni ahyɛde ahorow a wɔakyerɛw ato hɔ so frenkyemm bere a wobu wɔn ani gu nnyinasosɛm a ɛwɔ akyi so, katee a obi nyɛ anaa hyɛ a ɔnhyɛ afoforo so wɔ ɔkwan a ɛnsɛ so.

Nanso, Yehowa mfaa atɛntrenee ho gyinapɛn katee bi nkyekyeree n’ahyehyɛde a ɛte sɛ teaseɛnam no da. Enti saa teaseɛnam no ansɛe nnipa abusua no ne adesamma daakye anigye ho anidaso nyinaa, a wontumi nyɛ ho hwee. Mmom no, Yehowa danee ani kyerɛɛ baabi foforo wɔ anyinam ahoɔhare so. Atuatew no akyi pɛɛ no, Yehowa Nyankopɔn yɛɛ atirimpɔw bi a na ɛbɛbam daakye ho nsiesie a ɛde mmɔborohunu ne anidaso bɛbrɛ Adam asefo nyinaa.—Genesis 3:15.

⁸ Nanso, afoforo ho ntease a Yehowa wɔ no nkyerɛ sɛ ɔbɛgow ɔsoro nnyinasosɛm ahorow mu. Ebia ɛnnɛyi Kristoman asɔre ahorow no besusuw sɛ wɔwɔ ntease bere a wobu wɔn ani gu ɔbrasɛe so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobenya wɔn nguan a wɔnam asetra kwan a ɛnteɛ so no anim dom no. (Fa toto 2 Timoteo 4:3 ho.) Yehowa mmu n’ankasa ne mmara ahorow so, na ɔngow ne nnyinasosɛm ahorow nso mu. Mmom no, onya ɔpɛ sɛ obegyae nsɛm mu ma aka na wayɛ fakaa, na ɔyɛ nsakrae ma ɛne tebea no hyia, na ama watumi afi mmɔborohunu mu de saa nnyinasosɛm ahorow no adi dwuma wɔ trenee kwan so.

‘Ɔwɔ Ɔpɛ sɛ Ɔde Befiri’

9, 10. (a) Abusuabɔ bɛn na ɛda ‘ɔpɛ a obi wɔ sɛ ɔde befiri’ ne ntease a ɔwɔ ntam? (b) Ɔkwan bɛn so na Dawid nyaa mfaso fii ɔpɛ a Yehowa wɔ sɛ ɔde befiri no mu, na dɛn ntia?

⁹ Dawid kyerɛwee sɛ: “Na wo, [Yehowa], wuye, na wode firi, na w’adɔe dɔɔso ma wɔn a wɔfrɛ wo nyinaa.” (Dwom 86:5) Bere a wɔrekyerɛ Hebri Kyerɛwnsɛm no ase akɔ Hela kasa mu wɔ Septuagint nkyerɛase no mu no, wɔkyerɛɛ asɛmfua a wonyaa asɛm “wode firi” fii mu no ase sɛ e·pi·ei·kesʹ, anaa “wowɔ ntease.” Nokwarem no, ebia ɔkwan titiriw a obi betumi afa so akyerɛ sɛ ɔwɔ ntease ne sɛ obenya ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde befiri na wada mmɔborohunu adi.

¹⁰ Ná Dawid ankasa nim yiye sɛ Yehowa wɔ ntease kɛse wɔ eyi mu. Bere a Dawid ne Bat-Seba sɛee aware na ɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛe ma wokum ne kunu no, na ɔne Bat-Seba fata owu sɛ asotwe. (Deuteronomium 22:22; 2 Samuel 11:2-27) Sɛ nnipa atemmufo a wɔyɛ katee na wodii asɛm no a, anka ebia wɔn baanu nyinaa hweree wɔn nkwa. Nanso nea Yehowa de dii dwuma ne ntease (e·pi·ei·kesʹ), a sɛnea Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words ka ho asɛm no, “ɛda timɔbɔ a obi de hwehwɛ ‘asɛm bi mu nokwasɛm ahorow mu wɔ mmɔborohunu ne ntease mu’ adi.” Ɛda adi sɛ nokwasɛm ahorow a ɛmaa Yehowa sii gyinae a mmɔborohunu wom no bi ne nu a abɔnefo no fi komam nuu wɔn ho, ne mmɔborohunu a na Dawid ankasa ada no adi akyerɛ afoforo no. (1 Samuel 24:4-6; 25:32-35; 26:7-11; Mateo 5:7; Yakobo 2:13) Nanso, sɛnea ɛne Yehowa ho asɛm a n’ankasa kae wɔ Exodus 34:4-7 hyia no, na ntease wom sɛ Yehowa teɛ Dawid so. Ɔsomaa odiyifo Natan ma ɔkɔkaa asɛm a emu yɛ den kyerɛɛ Dawid, de kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ wabu Yehowa asɛm animtiaa. Dawid nuu ne ho, ma enti wanwu wɔ ne bɔne no ho.—2 Samuel 12:1-14.
