Mmebusɛm 17:1-28
17 Eye sɛ wubedi paanoo wosee wɔ baabi a asomdwoe* wɔ+Sen sɛ wubedi aduan sɔkyee* wɔ ofi a akasakasa wom mu.+
2 Akoa a ɔwɔ nhumu no, obedi ɔba a ɔyɛ aniwude so,Na ɔno nso benya agyapade te sɛ owura no ba no.
3 Kuku a wɔnan ade wom wɔ hɔ ma dwetɛ, ɛnna fononoo wɔ hɔ ma sika kɔkɔɔ,+Na nea ɔhwehwɛ komam ne Yehowa.+
4 Onipabɔnefo yɛ aso tie asɛm a ɛyɛ yaw,Na ɔdaadaafo tie tɛkrɛma a etwa nkontompo.+
5 Obiara a odi ohiani ho fɛw no, ɔyeyaw ne Bɔfo,+Na obiara a odi ne yɔnko amanehunu ho ahurusi no, ɔremfa ne ho nni.+
6 Nkwakoraa ne mmerewa ahenkyɛw ne mmanana,*Na mma mmarima* anuonyam ne wɔn agyanom.*
7 Sɛnea ɔkasa a ɛteɛ* mfata ɔkwasea no,+
Saa ara na nkontompo kasa mfata ɔhene* koraa!+
8 Akyɛde te sɛ aboɔdenbo* ma ne wura;+Baabiara a ɔbɛfa biara, ɛma esi no yiye.+
9 Obiara a ɔde bɔne kyɛ* no hwehwɛ ɔdɔ,+Na nea ɔkɔ so tĩ asɛm mu de, ɔtetew nnamfo a wɔbɔ kosua taforo ntam.+
10 Nea ɔwɔ ntease no, animka boa no paa+Sen sɛ wobetwa ɔkwasea mmaa ɔha.+
11 Onipabɔnefo de, atuatew nko ara na ɔhwehwɛ,Na wɔbɛsoma otirimɔdenfo ama wakɔtwe n’aso.+
12 Sɛ wuhyia osisi a wɔakyere ne mma a,Eye sen sɛ wubehyia ɔkwasea a ɔte ne nkwaseasɛm mu.+
13 Sɛ obi de bɔne tua papa so ka a,Bɔne rempa ne fi.+
14 Sɛ wohyɛ ntɔkwaw ase a, ɛte sɛ nea woretue ɔtare mu nsu;*Akasakasa* nnya mfii ase no, twa so kɔ.+
15 Obiara a obu ɔbɔnefo bem ne obiara a obu ɔtreneeni fɔ no,+Wɔn nyinaa yɛ Yehowa akyiwade.
16 Mfaso bɛn na ɛwɔ so sɛ ɔkwasea wɔ nea obetumi de anya nyansaBere a onni ti* a ɔde besua nyansa?*+
17 Ɔyɔnko berɛbo de, ɔkyerɛ ne dɔ bere nyinaa,+Na ɔyɛ onua a wɔwoo no maa amanehunu bere.*+
18 Onipa a onnim nyansa* kyia obi nsam, na ɔpene so sɛ,Obedi agyinam* wɔ ne yɔnko anim.+
19 Nea ɔpɛ ntɔkwaw no, ɔpɛ mmarato.+
Obiara a ɔma ne pon ano kwan kɔ soro no frɛfrɛ ahwease.+
20 Koma mu nkontompofo de, ɛrensi wɔn yiye,+Na nea ɔka nnaadaasɛm no bɛsɛe.
21 Ɔbarima a ɔwo ɔba kwasea bedi ne ho awerɛhow;Na abofra a onnim nyansa no, ne papa nni anigye.+
22 Anigye koma yɛ aduru papa;*+Na honhom a abotow de, ɛma ahoɔden so tew.*+
23 Ɔbɔnefo gye adanmude* wɔ kokoam*Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛkyea atemmu.+
24 Nea ɔwɔ nhumu no, nyansa wɔ n’anim pɛɛ,Na ɔkwasea ani de, ɛdeda asaase ano akyirikyiri.+
25 Ɔba kwasea ma ne papa di awerɛhow,Na ɔhyɛ nea ɔwoo no no ahometew.+
26 Ɛnyɛ papa sɛ wɔbɛtwe ɔtreneeni aso,Na ɛmfata sɛ wɔbɛbɔ onuonyamfo mmaa.
27 Onipa a ɔwɔ nimdeɛ hwɛ ne nsɛm yiye,+Na nea ɔwɔ nhumu tɔ ne bo ase.*+
28 Ɔkwasea mpo, sɛ omua n’ano a, wobu no onyansafo,Na nea ɔka n’ano tom no, wobu no sɛ ɔwɔ nhumu.
