Agya no Abakɔsɛm wɔ Asɛnnibea

Wobisa Stefano sɛ sobo no yɛ nokware anaa, na ɔde Israel abakɔsɛm nyinaa bua: yɛn Agya da ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Yosef, Mose a ne nkurɔfo poo no, sika nantwi ba, asɔrefi a na wonhia no da. Ɔfrɛ n'atiefo no sɛ wɔn agyanom adedifo. Wosiw no abo, na ɔsrɛ fafiri ma wɔn.

Yɛn Agya kasa wɔ nkyekyɛmu ahorow 3, 7, 32–34, 49–50

Ti 7.

Afei ɔsɔfo panyin no bisae se, “Saa nsɛm yi yɛ nokware anaa?”

Stefano kae se, “Anuanom ne agyanom, muntie: Yɛn Agya, anuonyam wura no, yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ yɛn agya Abraham wɔ Mesopotamia ansa na ɔrekɔtena Haran,

na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Fi wʼasase ne wʼabusuafo mu, na kɔ asase a mɛkyerɛ wo no so.’

Ofii Babilonfo asase so kɔtenaa Haran. Bere a nʼagya wui no, yɛn Agya yii no fii hɔ de no baa asase yi a mprempren mote so no so. Wamma no agyapade biara wɔ mu, nan ntiaso baako mpo amma no—nanso ɔhyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛma ɔno ne nʼasefo a wɔbɛba nʼakyi no sɛ wɔn agyapade, ɛwom sɛ saa bere no na onni ba biara de. Na yɛn Agya kae sɛ nʼasefo bɛyɛ ahɔho wɔ asase a ɛnyɛ wɔn de so, na wɔbɛyɛ wɔn nkoa na wɔayɛ wɔn ayayade mfe ahanan.

‘Mebebu ɔman a wɔbɛsom wɔn no atɛn,’ yɛn Agya kae, ‘na ɛno akyi no, wɔbɛfi adi abɛsom me wɔ beae yi.’

Afei ɔde twetia apam maa no. Abraham woo Isak, na ɔda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, ɔtwaa no twetia; Isak woo Yakob, na Yakob woo nananom kumi abien no.

Nananom no ani beree Yosef, enti wɔtɔn no kɔɔ Misraim; nanso na yɛn Agya ka ne ho, na oyii no fii ne haw nyinaa mu, de adom ne nyansa maa no wɔ Misraim hene Farao anim, na Farao yɛɛ no amrado wɔ Misraim ne Farao fi nyinaa so. Ɛkɔm ne amane kɛse baa Misraim ne Kanaan nyinaa, na yɛn agyanom annya aduan biara. Bere a Yakob tee sɛ atoko wɔ Misraim no, ɔsomaa yɛn agyanom kɔɔ hɔ kan. Wɔn akwantu a ɛtɔ so abien no, Yosef yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ ne nuanom, na Farao huu Yosef abusua. Na Yosef soma ma wɔkɔfaa nʼagya Yakob ne nʼabusuafo nyinaa, nnipa aduɔson anum nyinaa.

Na Yakob sian kɔɔ Misraim, na ɔwui, ɔno ne yɛn agyanom. Wɔsoaa wɔn san kɔɔ Sekem, na wosiee wɔn wɔ ɔda a Abraham de dwetɛ tɔɔ fii Hamor mma nkyɛn wɔ Sekem no mu.

Bere a bɔhyɛ a yɛn Agya hyɛɛ Abraham no bere rebɛn no, nnipa no nyinii dɔɔso wɔ Misraim, kosii sɛ ɔhene foforo bi a onnim Yosef sɔree dii Misraim so. Ɔhene yi de nnaadaa dii yɛn nkurɔfo so, yɛɛ yɛn agyanom ayayade, hyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔtoo wɔn nkokoaa gui sɛ wɔnwuwu.

Saa bere no mu na wɔwoo Mose, na ɔyɛ fɛ wɔ yɛn Agya ani so. Wɔtetee no abosome abiɛsa wɔ nʼagya fi. Na bere a wɔtoo no gui no, Farao babea faa no yɛɛ no ne ba, tetee no sɛ ɔno ankasa ba. Wɔtetee Mose wɔ Misraimfo nyansa nyinaa mu, na ɔwɔ tumi wɔ ne kasa ne ne nneyɛe mu.

Bere a odii mfe aduanan no, ɔbɔɔ ne tirim sɛ ɔbɛkɔsra ne nuanom, Israel mma no. Bere a ohuu sɛ wɔreyɛ wɔn mu baako bɔne no, ɔbɔɔ onipa a wɔrehyɛ no so no ho ban, na ɔtɔɔ ne were maa no, bɔɔ Misraimni no kum. Osusuwii sɛ ne nuanom bɛte ase sɛ yɛn Agya nam ne nsa so de nkwagye rebrɛ wɔn, nanso wɔante ase.

Ade kyee no, ɔbaa wɔn so bere a na wɔreko, na ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔpata wɔn, kae se, ‘Mmarima, moyɛ anuanom. Adɛn nti na moyɛ mo ho mo ho bɔne?’ Nanso ɔbarima a na ɔreyɛ ne yɔnko bɔne no pia Mose kɔɔ nkyɛn, kae se, ‘Hena na ɔyɛɛ wo sodifo ne ɔtemmufo wɔ yɛn so? Wopɛ sɛ wokum me sɛnea wokum Misraimni no nnɛra no?’ Bere a Mose tee saa asɛm yi no, oguan kɔtenaa Midian asase so sɛ ɔhɔho, na ɛhɔ na ɔwoo mmabarima baanu.

Mfe aduanan akyi no, ɔbɔfo bi yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no wɔ Bepɔ Sinai sare so, wɔ wura bi a ɛredɛw no ogyaframa mu. Mose huu no no, ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa; bere a ɔbɛn sɛ ɔrebɛhwɛ yiye no, yɛn Agya nne kasae se:

‘Mene wʼagyanom Nyankopɔn—Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Nyankopɔn.’ Mose ho wosowosoe, na wannya akokoduru anhwɛ. Afei yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Yi wo mpaboa fi wo nan ase, efisɛ beae a wogyina so no yɛ asase kronkron.’ Mahu me nkurɔfo amanehunu wɔ Misraim ampa, mate wɔn apinisi, na masiane aba sɛ merebegye wɔn. Afei kɔ—meresoma wo akɔ Misraim.

Mose yi a wɔpoo no, kae se, ‘Hena na ɔyɛɛ wo sodifo ne ɔtemmufo?’—ɔno na yɛn Agya somaa no sɛ sodifo ne ogyefo, nam ɔbɔfo a oyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no wɔ wura no mu no nsa so. Ɔbarima yi na odii wɔn anim yii wɔn fii hɔ, yɛɛ anwonwade ne nsɛnkyerɛnne wɔ Misraim asase so, wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ ho ne sare so mfe aduanan. Mose yi ara na ɔka kyerɛɛ Israel mma se, ‘Yɛn Agya bɛma odiyifo bi a ɔte sɛ me asɔre afi mo nuanom mu ama mo.’ Ɔno na ɔne ɔbɔfo a ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no wɔ Bepɔ Sinai so no ne yɛn agyanom wɔ asafo no mu wɔ sare so; ɔno na ɔgyee nkwa nsɛm sɛ ɔmfa mma yɛn.

Yɛn agyanom ampɛ sɛ wɔbɛtie no; wɔpoo no, na wɔn akoma mu wɔsan wɔn akyi kɔɔ Misraim, ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, ‘Yɛ anyame ma yɛn, na wɔnni yɛn anim. Mose yi a odii yɛn anim yii yɛn fii Misraim asase so no de, yɛnnim nea ato no.’ Saa nna no mu wɔyɛɛ nantwi ba, bɔɔ afɔre maa ohoni no, na wodii ahurusi wɔ nea wɔn nsa ayɛ no ho. Nanso yɛn Agya dan ne ho fii wɔn ho, de wɔn maa sɛ wɔnsom ɔsoro dɔm, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ adiyifo nhoma mu se, ‘Mode mmoa a mokum ne afɔre brɛɛ me mfe aduanan wɔ sare so anaa, Israel fi? Mosoaa Molek ntamadan ne mo nyame Refan nsoromma, ahoni a moyɛe sɛ mobɛsom wɔn no; enti mɛpam mo akɔ akyirikyiri wɔ Babilon akyi.’

Yɛn nananom nyaa adansedi ntamadan no wɔ sare so, sɛnea ɔno a ɔkasa kyerɛɛ Mose no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, sɛ nhwɛso a ohui no te no. Yɛn agyanom nso gyee no, de baa hɔ wɔ Yosua bere so, bere a wɔfaa aman a yɛn Agya pam wɔn fii wɔn anim no asase. Ɛtoaa so saa kosii Dawid bere so, a ɔnyaa adom wɔ yɛn Agya anim, na ɔsrɛe sɛ ɔnhwehwɛ tenabea mma yɛn Agya. Na mmom Salomo na ɔsii fi maa no. Nanso Ɔsorosoroni no ntena afi a nnipa nsa na ɛsii mu, sɛnea odiyifo no ka se:

‘Ɔsoro ne mʼahengua, na asase ne me nan ntiaso. Fi bɛn na mobɛsi ama me, yɛn Agya na ose, anaasɛ me home beae bɛyɛ he? So ɛnyɛ me nsa na ɛyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa?’

“Mo asoɔdenfo, mo a mo akoma ne mo aso nnya twetia, daa mosɔre tia Honhom Kronkron no—sɛnea mo agyanom yɛe no, saa ara na mo nso moyɛ. Adiyifo no mu hena na mo agyanom antaa no? Wokum wɔn a wodii kan bɔɔ Ɔtreneeni no mmae ho dawuru no—ɔno na mprempren moayi no ama na moakum no. Mo a monam abɔfo so nyaa mmara no, nanso moanni so.”

Bere a wɔtee saa nsɛm yi no, wɔn bo fuw yiye, na wɔtwerɛɛ wɔn se guu no so. Nanso Stefano a Honhom Kronkron no ahyɛ no ma no hwɛɛ ɔsoro, huu yɛn Agya anuonyam, ne Yesu sɛ ogyina yɛn Agya nifa so. ^a

Na ɔkae se, “Hwɛ, mihu sɛ ɔsoro abue, na Onipa Ba no gyina yɛn Agya nifa so.”

Nanso wɔteɛɛm denneennen, de wɔn nsa siw wɔn aso, na wɔtow hyɛɛ no so. Wɔtoo no fii kurow no mu, na wɔsii no abo. Adansefo no de wɔn atade guu aberante bi a ne din de Saulo nan ase.

Na bere a wɔresi no abo no, Stefano frɛe se, “Awurade Yesu, gye me honhom.” ^b

Ɔbuu nkotodwe, na ɔteɛɛm denneennen se, “Awurade, mmfa saa bɔne yi mmu wɔn so.” Afei ɔdae.
