Leviticus nhoma no fã bi a ɛwɔ Greek kasa mu ka Ɛpo a Awu Ho Nhoma Mmobɔwee no ho, na wohwɛ mu a, wubehu sɛ wɔakyerɛw Onyankopɔn din no Iao. Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko; tete Greek akyerɛwfo bi nso kyerɛ sɛ na wɔbɔ din no Iae, I·a·beʹ, anaa I·a·ou·eʹ. Nanso, yɛrentumi nsi no pi nka sɛ sɛɛ anaa sɛɛ na na wɔbɔ din no. Nea ɛwom ne sɛ, yennim sɛnea na Onyankopɔn asomfo a wɔtenaa ase tete no bɔ Onyankopɔn din no wɔ Hebri kasa mu.

Ɛnde adɛn nti na yɛakyerɛ din no ase “Yehowa” wɔ Bible yi mu? Efisɛ ɛnyɛ nnɛ na wofii ase frɛɛ no saa wɔ Twi kasa mu. Onyankopɔn din “Yehowa” no dii kan puee Twi Bible mu wɔ nkyerɛase a Johann Gottlieb Christaller yɛe wɔ afe 1871 no mu.
Ebinom te nka sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfrɛ Onyankopɔn “Yahwe,” ɛnna ebinom nso se “Yehowa.” Afe 1911 no, Bible ho ɔbenfo Joseph Bryant Rotherham a nkurɔfo bu no paa no kyerɛw nhoma bi a wɔato din Studies in the Psalms. Ɔkyerɛɛ mu wɔ nhoma no mu sɛ, ɔno de, “nnipa a wɔtaa kenkan Bible no, edin a wɔn mu dodow no ara nim (na wogye tom)” no, ɛno na ɔde aba ne Bible nkyerɛase no mu. Afe 1930 mu no, ɔbenfo A. F. Kirkpatrick nso kaa biribi saa. Ɔkae sɛ: “Ɛnyɛ nea ehia ne sɛnea wɔbɔ din no; nea ehia ne sɛ obiara behu sɛ ɛyɛ Din Ankasa, na ɛnyɛ abodin kɛkɛ te sɛ ‘Awurade.’”
Dɛn na edin Yehowa kyerɛ? Edin Yehowa no fi Hebri adeyɛ asɛm bi mu, na nea saa asɛm no kyerɛ ne, “ɛyɛ hɔ.” Nhomanimfo binom susuw sɛ adwene a ɛwɔ saa adeyɛ asɛm no akyi ne sɛ obi na ɔma biribi yɛ hɔ. Enti Wiase Foforo Bible Nkyerɛase Kuw no te Onyankopɔn din no ase sɛ, “Nea Ɔma Ɛyɛ Hɔ.” Nhomanimfo adwene nhyia wɔ edin no nkyerɛase ho, enti yɛrentumi nka sɛ kyenkyen ara a, saa na ɛkyerɛ. Nanso edin no nkyerɛase no fata Yehowa paa, efisɛ ɔno na ɔbɔɔ biribiara, na nea ɔbɔ ne tirim sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biara nso, ɔma ɛyɛ hɔ. Ɔno na ɔmaa abɔfo, nnipa, ne amansan yi mu nneɛma a aka nyinaa bae. Afei nso ɛmfa ho nea ebesi biara, ɔhwɛ ma n’apɛde ne n’atirimpɔw yɛ hɔ.
Hebri adeyɛ asɛm a Yehowa din fi mu no, wɔde adeyɛ asɛm bi a ɛne no sɛ dii dwuma wɔ Exodus 3:14. Ɛhɔ kan sɛ: “Mɛyɛ Me Ho Nea Mepɛ Sɛ Meyɛ Biara.” Nanso yɛreka paa a, ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn din no nkyerɛase nyinaa ne no. Ne nyinaa mu no, ɛma yehu biribi fa Onyankopɔn ho, kyerɛ sɛ, tebea biara mu no, ɔyɛ ne ho sɛnea ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ma n’atirimpɔw yɛ hɔ. Nanso ɛnyɛ ɛno nko ara.
