18 Kɛ mɔɔ ɛzoanle me wɔ ewiade ye anu la, medame noko mezoa bɛ wɔ ewiade ye anu.+
19 Na melɛyɛ me nwo nwuanzanwuanza meamaa bɛ, amaa bɛdabɛ noko bɛalua nɔhalɛ ne azo bɛayɛ nwuanzanwuanza.
20 “Menzɛlɛ memmaa ɛhye mɔ angome, mesɛlɛ meamaa bɛdabɛ noko mɔɔ bɛlɛdua bɛ edwɛkɛ ne azo bɛanyia diedi wɔ me nu la,
21 amaa bɛ muala bɛayɛ ko,+ kɛ mɔɔ ɛdawɔ Egya, ɛ nee me le ko na me nee wɔ le ko la,+ amaa bɛdabɛ noko bɛ nee yɛ ayɛ ko, na ewiade ne alie ali kɛ ɛdawɔ a ɛzoanle me a.
22 Meva anyunlunyia ne mɔɔ ɛvale ɛmaanle me la memaa bɛ, amaa bɛayɛ ko kɛ mɔɔ yɛle ko la.+
