“MMARA yɛ amoa donkudonku, . . . ɛmene biribiara.” Saa asɛm no puee nhoma bi a wotintimii wɔ afe 1712 mu tɔnn mu.

Mmarahyɛfo Pumpuni No
3, 4. Akwan bɛn so na Yehowa ada no adi sɛ ɔyɛ Mmarahyɛfo?
3 Bible ka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ: “Obiako ne mmarahyɛfo ne temmufo.” (Yakobo 4:
4 Yehowa ama adesamma nso mmara. Yɛn mu biara wɔ ahonim, ade a ɛda Yehowa atɛntrenee adi. Sɛ́ mmara bi a ɛwɔ yɛn mu no, ahonim betumi aboa yɛn ma yɛahu nea ɛteɛ ne nea ɛnteɛ. (Romafo 2:

5. So na Mose Mmara no yɛ mmara a emu nsɛm dɔɔso na ɛso di yɛ den, na dɛn nti na wubua saa?
5 Ɛte sɛ nea nnipa pii susuw sɛ Mose Mmara no yɛ mmara a ɛdɔɔso na ɛyɛ hwanyann. Adwene a ɛte saa nyɛ nokware koraa. Mmara bɛboro 600 na ɛwɔ mmara nhoma no nyinaa mu. Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ nea ɛdɔɔso, nanso susuw ho hwɛ: Eduu afeha a ɛto so 20 no awiei no, na United States mmara ahyɛ nhoma ahorow a ekura nkratafa 150,000 ma. Mfirihyia abien biara wɔde mmara foforo bɛyɛ 600 ka ho! Enti ɛdefa mmara no dodow ho no, nnipa mmara ma Mose Mmara no yɛ ketewa koraa. Nanso, Onyankopɔn Mmara kyerɛɛ Israelfo no kwan wɔ asetra afã bi a ɛnnɛyi mmara nsusuw ho mpo mu. Susuw emu nsɛm ho hwɛ.

6 Mmara no kamfoo Yehowa tumidi kyerɛe. Enti, sɛ wɔyɛ ntotoho a, Mose Mmara no sen mmara foforo biara. Mmara no mu nea ɛsen biara ne eyi: “Israel, tie, [Yehowa, NW] yɛn Nyankopɔn ne [Yehowa, NW] koro. Na fa wo koma nyinaa ne wo kra nyinaa ne w’ahoɔden nyinaa dɔ [Yehowa, NW] wo Nyankopɔn.” Ɔkwan bɛn so na na Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo bɛdɔ no? Ná wɔbɛsom no, abrɛ wɔn ho ase ahyɛ ne tumidi ase.
7 Israelni biara nam ne ho ase a ɔbrɛ hyɛɛ wɔn a wɔmaa wɔn tumi no ase so na egyee Yehowa tumidi toom. Ná awofo, mmapɔmma, atemmufo, asɔfo, ne bere bi akyi no, ɔhene no, nyinaa gyina hɔ ma Onyankopɔn tumidi. Yehowa buu atua biara a wɔtew tiaa wɔn a wodi tumi no sɛ atua a wɔtew tiaa ɔno ankasa. Nanso, sɛ wɔn a wodi tumi no ne Yehowa nkurɔfo no di nsɛm wɔ ɔkwan a ɛmfata anaa ahantan so a, na ne bo fuw wɔn. (Exodus 20:
8. Ɔkwan bɛn so na Mmara no daa Yehowa kronkronyɛ gyinapɛn adi?
8 Mmara no daa Yehowa gyinapɛn kronkron no adi. Nsɛmfua “kronkron” ne “kronkronyɛ” pue bɛboro mpɛn 280 wɔ Mose Mmara no mu. Mmara no boaa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo ma wohuu ade a ɛho tew ne nea ɛho ntew, bobɔɔ nneɛma ahorow bɛboro 70 a ebetumi ama Israelni bi ho agu fĩ din. Saa mmara yi kaa honam fam ahotew, adidi, ne nwura a wɔtow gu mpo ho asɛm. Mmara a ɛtete saa no ma wonyaa apɔwmuden a ɛyɛ nwonwa. * Nanso, na ekura atirimpɔw a ɛkorɔn
9, 10. Nna mu nkitahodi ne abawo ho mmara bɛn na na ɛwɔ Mmara apam no mu, na mfaso bɛn na na ɛwɔ mmara a ɛtete saa no so?
9 Mmara apam no mu ahyɛde ahorow kae sɛ nna mu nkitahodi ne abawo
10 Saa mmara no kyerɛkyerɛɛ nokware a ɛho hia. * Nokwarem no, ɔkwan bɛn na Adam bɔne no nam so fi awo ntoatoaso biako so ka nea edi so no? So ɛnnam nna mu nkitahodi ne abawo so? (Romafo 5:
11, 12. (a) Atɛntrenee ho nnyinasosɛm a ɛho hia bɛn na Mmara no kamfo kyerɛe? (b) Nneɛma a na ɛremma wommu atɛnkyea bɛn na na ɛwɔ Mmara no mu?
11 Mmara no daa Yehowa atɛntrenee a ɛyɛ pɛ no adi. Mose Mmara no kamfoo nnyinasosɛm a ɛne sɛ wɔbɛma biribiara ayɛ pɛ, anaasɛ akari pɛ wɔ atemmu mu no kyerɛe. Enti, Mmara no kae sɛ: “Ɔkra nsi ɔkra ananmu, aniwa nsi aniwa ananmu, ɛse nsi ɛse ananmu, nsa nsi nsa ananmu, ɛnan nsi ɛnan ananmu.” (Deuteronomium 19:

Mmara a Esii Mmɔborohunu ne Atɛntrenee So Dua
13, 14. Ɔkwan bɛn so na Mmara no hyɛɛ atɛntrenee a na wobebu ɔkorɔmfo ne nea owiaa n’ade no ho nkuran?
13 So na Mose Mmara no yɛ mmara katee a na ɛnna mmɔborohunu adi? Ɛnte saa koraa! Wɔde honhom kaa Ɔhene Dawid ma ɔkyerɛwee sɛ: “[Yehowa, NW] mmara yɛ pɛ.” (Dwom 19:7) Sɛnea na onim no yiye no, Mmara no hyɛɛ mmɔborohunu ne atɛntrenee ho nkuran. Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na ɛyɛɛ saa.
14 Wɔ nsase bi so nnɛ no, ɛte sɛ nea mmara no hu nsɛmmɔnedifo mmɔbɔ, na edi boa wɔn sen nkurɔfo a wodi wɔn nsɛmmɔne no. Sɛ nhwɛso no, wotumi de akorɔmfo gu afiase.

Wɔ tete Israel no, na afiase nni hɔ sɛnea ɛwɔ hɔ nnɛ no. Ná anohyeto a emu yɛ den wɔ asotwe horow a emu yɛ den a wɔde ma ho. (Deuteronomium 25:
15. Ɔkwan bɛn so na Mmara no hwɛ ma wɔdaa mmɔborohunu ne atɛntrenee adi wɔ obi a wanhyɛ da na okum obi asɛm no mu?
15 Mmara no fi mmɔborohunu mu gye toom sɛ ɛnyɛ bɔne nyinaa na wɔhyɛ da yɛ. Sɛ nhwɛso no, sɛ onipa bi anhyɛ da na okum obi, na ɔyɛ ade a ɛfata denam guan a obeguan akɔ guankɔbea nkurow a na apete Israel no biako mu a, na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔkra si ɔkra ananmu.

Enti onyaa Onyankopɔn mmɔborohunu so mfaso. Bere koro no ara, mmara yi sii sɛnea nnipa nkwa som bo kɛse no so dua.
16. Ɔkwan bɛn so na Mmara no bɔɔ hokwan ahorow bi a ankorankoro wɔ ho ban?
16 Mmara no bɔɔ hokwan a ankorankoro wɔ ho ban. Susuw sɛnea ɛbɔɔ wɔn a na wɔde ka ho ban no ho hwɛ. Mmara no kae sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛn nea ɔde ka no fie kogye ade a ɔde sii awowa no. Mmom no, ɛsɛ sɛ nea wɔde no ka no gyina abɔnten na ɔma nea ɔde ka no de awowaside no brɛ no. Saayɛ so no, wɔnhyɛn onipa no fie ɔhyɛ so.

17, 18. Ɛdefa akodi ho no, ɔkwan bɛn so na na Israelfo no yɛ soronko wɔ aman foforo ho, na dɛn ntia?

19. Nsiesiei bɛn na na ɛwɔ Mmara no mu a na ɛbɔ mmea, mmofra, mmusua, akunafo, ne nyisaa ho ban?

Mmara no Hyɛɛ Ɔdɔ Ho Nkuran

22 Wubetumi ahu nnɛyi mmara kwan so nhyehyɛe bi a ɛhyɛ ɔdɔ ho nkuran? Mose Mmara no hyɛɛ ɔdɔ ho nkuran sen biribi foforo biara. Wɔ Deuteronomium nhoma no mu nkutoo no, asɛmfua a egyina hɔ ma “ɔdɔ” no pue bɛboro mpɛn 20. Ná “dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho” ne Mmara no nyinaa mu kɛse a ɛto so abien. (Leviticus 19:
