Ntsɛmara modwen Britainyi Ernest Shackleton a okyinii hwehwɛ nsaase na ne wusihɛn HMS Endurance, no mu edwumayɛfo ho a, hɔn wusihɛn no sɛɛ wɔ Antartic esukwankyɛba mu na wɔkaa wɔ nsupruw pawee bi do bɛyɛ mfe ebien.

Nokwar nye dɛ wɔagye wo dada; wɔagye wo nkwa dada—Nyia ɔasɔw ayaayaadze noara a erefa mu no nna ɔasɔw amandzehu noara a erosɔw no.¹ Jesus edzi enyimtsiabu nyina a ɔwɔ wiadze yi mu do² ama ɔama wo tum nnyɛ dza wɔdze tsena ase nkõ, mbom ama dabi, ɔnam No do, eetum edzi do na mpo edzi konyim—asoɛr koraa wɔ ɔyaw, atseetsee, ahohia do, na eehu dɛ asomdwee ahyɛ hɔn ananmu.

Ɔsomafo Paul bisa dɛ:

“Woana bɛtsew hɛn efi Christ dɔ no ho? Ahohia, anaa ahomtsew, anaa ɔhaw, anaa ɔkɔm, anaa adagyaw, anaa amandze, anaa afõwa a? …

“Naaso iyi nyina mu, yɛnam nyia ɔdɔɔ hɛn no do dzi konyim bor do.”³

Bia dɛm mfom adwendwen na atsenkã yi ayɛ akwansiwdze ama wo dɛ ebɔhwehwɛ mboa efi ebusua, anyɛnkofo, baanodzifo, anaa abemfo hɔ, ntsi wo nko na idzi aper.

Ewɔ enyidado dɛ dabi woho bɔtɔ wo, naaso ɔyɛ dɛ dɛm da no nnyaa mbae.

Dɛm ndzɛmba bɔn a wɔdze ayɛ wo no nnkyerɛ wo nyimpa ban a eyɛ. Ewɔ enyimnyam nokwar mu, wo nyimpa ban nye wo onnyiewiei su dɛ Nyame ne babanyin anaa ne babaa, na wo Bɔadze n’emudzi, onnyiewiei dɔ na nsato ba ayarsa emudzi mu korakoraa.

Ɔyɛ dɛ ma ɔnnkɛyɛ yie dze, naaso etse nkã dɛ ɔnnkɛyɛ yie, ayarsa botum aba a ɔnam Jesus Christ no Werdam Afɔrbɔ no n’anwanwadze ɔpon tum no do, ɔno a ɔdze “ɔyarsa wɔ ne ntsaban mu” asoɛr.¹⁴

Hɛn Agyenkwa mbɔbɔrhufo no, Oedzi sum nye enyanyandze do konyim no, wɔ tum dɛ ɔtsen mfom nyinara nokwar, a ɔdze nkwa brɛ hɔn a binom afom hɔn.¹⁵

Meserɛ hu dɛ Agyenkwa no duaa ndzɛmba nyina mu, mpo dza ato wo no. Ɔnam dɛm ntsi, Onyim pɔkyee dza hu kɛse ankasa na enyimguase tse, na mbrɛ ɔtse sɛ woeyi wo tokyen anaa etse dɛ ebubu a.¹⁶ Fi No werdam amandzehu no bun mu no, Agyenkwa ma enyidado a edwen dɛ ɔayew afebɔɔ, ahoɔdzen a egye dzi dɛ nnkotum enya da, na ayarsa a anndwen ho dɛ obotum aba no.

Kwan biara nnyi hɔ ma enyimtsiabu biara—honamu o, mpa do nkitahodzi mu o, nkã tse mu o, anaa kasa mu—wɔ ofi, ɔman, anaa amambra biara mu. Biribiara nnyi hɔ a ɔyer, abofra, anaa okun bɛyɛ anaa ɔbɛkã a ɔma “wɔfata” ɔbor. Obiara nnyi hɔ, wɔ ɔman anaa amambra biara mu a, “ɔrohwehwɛ” ntoabɔ anaa basabasayɛ efi obi a ɔwɔ tum hɔ anaa obi a ɔsõ na ɔwɔ ahoɔdzen kyɛn no hɔ.

Hɔn a wobu enyimtsia na wɔhwehwɛ dɛ wobesie hɔn bɔn kɛse no botum afa hɔn tsir edzidzi mu mber kakra. Naaso Ewuradze a, ohu ndzɛmba nyina, nyim nyɛe na adwendwen na nsusui a ɔwɔ akoma mu.¹⁷ Ɔyɛ pɛrpɛr Nyame, na Ne atsɛmbu krɔnkrɔn no ɔdze bɛma.¹⁸

Nwanwa mu ara, Ewuradze san so yɛ ehumbɔbɔr Nyame ma hɔn a wonu hɔnho nokwar mu. Enyimtsiabufo—hɔn a hɔnankasa asɔw enyimtsiabu mber bi kã ho—a wɔkã hɔn bɔn, wogyaa hɔn bɔn, na wɔyɛ dza wotum nyina dze yɛ nsiesie na nhyɛananmu no, wɔ bɔnfakyɛ ho kwan a ɔnam Christ no Werdam Afɔrbɔ nwanwa no do.

Hɔn a mfom mu ara woebu hɔn fɔ no, afɔbu no dur a yenntum nnkã no dze noara n’ahohyehye nam. Mbom woehyira hɔn so ɔnam Agyenkwa no n’amandzehu ma hɔn no do na nyimdzee no dɛ ewiei no nokwar bedzi nyim.

Naaso enyimtsiabufo a wonnu hɔnho no begyina Ewuradze enyim ebu hɔn ewurkadze ho nkontaa.

Ewuradze Ɔnoara da no edzi pefee wɔ tsia a Otsia enyimtsiabu biara: “Na obiara a ɔbɔto mbofra nkakraba … yi mu baako fintsidua no, oye ma no dɛ wɔdze ewuyambo kɛse sɛn no kɔn mu, na wɔkɔtow no kyen nsu mu wɔ po bun mu.”¹⁹

Anyɛnkofo adɔfo a woepira hom yaayaayaw—nna obiara a wɔasɔw abrabɔ mu ndzebɔnyɛ—hom botum enya ahyɛse fofor na nhyɛasee fofor. Gethsemane ture no mu no, Jesus “faa … awerɛhow na amandzehu nyina a emi na ɔwo asɔw no pɛn,”²⁰ na Oedzi ne nyinara do! Agyenkwa no tserɛw ne nsamu, ma wo ayarsa akyɛdze no.

W’Agyenkwa botoo no kãa dɛ, “Owifo no mmba gyedɛ orubowia, na oeku, na ɔasɛɛ; emidze, mebae ma [e]nya nkwa, na [e]nya no mbordo.”²¹ Eyɛ atsena ase nyi, ibotum enya ayarsa, na ibotum enya awerɛhyɛmu dɛ edze Jesus Christ no tum na adom no, ibedzi do na edzi konyim.
