Mmebusɛm 17:1-28
17 Paanoo wosee a asomdwoe wom+ ye sen ofie a afɔrebɔde a wɔko ho ahyɛ mu mã.+
2 Akoa a ɔwɔ nhumu bedi ɔba a ɔyɛ aniwude+ so, na obenya mma agyapade+ no bi.
3 Ɔnanfo kuku wɔ hɔ ma dwetɛ, na fononoo wɔ hɔ ma sika,+ na Yehowa na ɔhwehwɛ koma mu.+
4 Ɔdebɔneyɛfo tie amumɔyɛfo ano.+ Ɔtorofo yɛ asõ ma tɛkrɛma a ɛde amanehunu ba.+
5 Nea odi ohiani ho fɛw no bɔ ne Bɔfo ahohora.+ Nea odi ne yɔnko amanehunu ho ahurusi no remfa ne ho nni.+
6 Nkwakoraa abotiri ne mmanana,+ na mma ahoɔfɛ ne wɔn agyanom.+
7 Teeyɛ ano mfata nea onni adwene.+ Nkontompo ano nso mfata onuonyamfo koraa!+
8 Akyɛde te sɛ aboɔdenbo a wɔde nya anuonyam wɔ ne wura ani so.+ Baabiara a ɔbɛfa no, esi no yiye.+
9 Nea ɔkata bɔne so no hwehwɛ ɔdɔ,+ na nea otĩ asɛm mu no tetew nnamfo ntam.+
10 Animka yɛ adwuma yiye wɔ nea ɔwɔ ntease mu+ sen sɛ wɔbɛbɔ ɔkwasea mmaa ɔha.+
11 Atuatew nkutoo na ɔbɔnefo hwehwɛ,+ na ɔbɔfo a wɔsoma no kɔ ne nkyɛn no renhu no mmɔbɔ.+
12 Osisi a wɔafa ne mma+ hyia wo a, eye sen ɔkwasea a ɔte ne nkwaseasɛm mu.+
13 Obiara a ɔde bɔne tua papa so ka+ no, bɔne rempa ne fie.+
14 Ntɔkwaw mfiase te sɛ nsu a atue;+ enti ansa na ɔham mu bɛyɛ den no, twa so kɔ.+
15 Nea obu ɔbɔnefo bem+ ne nea obu ɔtreneeni fɔ+—wɔn nyinaa yɛ Yehowa akyide.+
16 Dɛn nti na ɔkwasea kura nea obetumi de atɔ nyansa+ bere a onni ti?+
17 Ɔyɔnko berɛbo dɔ bere nyinaa;+ ɔyɛ onua a wɔwoo no maa ahohia da.+
18 Onipa a onni ti kyia nsam+ de di agyinam wɔ ne yɔnko anim.+
19 Nea ɔpɛ mmarato no pɛ ntɔkwaw.+ Nea ɔma ne dan ano kɔ soro no hwehwɛ asehwe.+
20 Koma mu kɔntɔnkyefo renhu papa,+ na nea ɔdannan n’ano bɛhwe mmusu mu.+
21 Ɔba kwasea papa bedi ne ho awerɛhow;+ na ɔba a onni adwene no, ahurusi bi nni hɔ mma ne papa.+
22 Anigye koma sa yare;+ honhom a abotow ma nnompe mu yow.+
23 Ɔbɔnefo begye adanmude kokoam*+ de adan atemmu ani.+
24 Nyansa wɔ nea ɔwɔ ntease anim,+ na ɔkwasea aniwa de, ɛdeda asase ano nohoa.+
25 Ɔba kwasea hyɛ ne papa ahometew,+ na ɔma ne maame di awerɛhow.+
26 Bio nso, ɛmfata sɛ wɔbɛbɔ ɔtreneeni ka.+ Ɛnteɛ sɛ wɔbɛhwe ɔdehye.+
27 Nea ɔkora n’ano no wɔ nimdeɛ,+ na nhumufo honhom dwo.+
28 Ɔkwasea mpo, sɛ omua n’ano a, wobu no onyansafo;+ nea ɔka n’ano tom no, wobu no sɛ ɔwɔ ntease.
