Mmebusɛm 22:1-29
22 Hwehwɛ din pa,* na ɛnyɛ ahonyade pii;+Nkurɔfo bu wo a,* eye sen dwetɛ ne sika kɔkɔɔ.
2 Osikani ne ohiani nyinaa, ade baako bi wɔ wɔn ho.*
Ɛne sɛ, Yehowa na ɔbɔɔ wɔn nyinaa.+
3 Onyansafo* hu asiane, na ɔde ne ho sie,Na ogyimifo de, ɛno ara ne sɛ ɔrekɔ, na otwa so aba.*
4 Nea ahobrɛase ne Yehowa suro de ba neAhonyade ne anuonyam ne nkwa.+
5 Nsɔe ne mfiri wɔ okontomponi kwan mu,Na obiara a ne nkwa* ho hia no de, ɔtwe ne ho fi ho kɔ akyirikyiri.+
6 Kyerɛkyerɛ abofra* ɔkwan a ɔmfa so,+Na sɛ onyin mpo a, ɔremman mfi ho.+
7 Osikani di ohiani so,Na nea ogye bosea no, ɔyɛ akoa ma nea ɔbɔɔ no bosea no.+
8 Nea odua bɔne no, obetwa amanehunu,+Na n’abufuw abaa awiei bɛba.+
9 Onipa a ne yam ye* no, obenya nhyira,Efisɛ ɔne ohiani kyɛ n’aduan.+
10 Pam ɔfɛwdifo,Na akasakasa begyae;Twe-ma-mentwe* ne adapaatwa to betwa.
11 Nea ɔdɔ koma a emu tew a ne kasa ho wɔ nyam no,Ɔhene bɛfa no adamfo.+
12 Yehowa ani bɔ nimdeɛ ho ban,Na nkontompofo nsɛm de, obutuw no.+
13 Ɔkwadwofo ka sɛ: “Gyata wɔ abɔnten!
Obekum me wɔ abɔnten!”+
14 Mmea a wɔaman* ano yɛ amoa donkudonku.+
Nea Yehowa abu no fɔ no, ɔno na ɔbɛtɔ mu.
15 Agyimisɛm kyekyere abofra* koma ho,+Na nteɛso abaa beyi afi ne ho akɔ akyirikyiri.+
16 Nea osisi ohiani de nya ne ho+Ne nea ɔkyɛ osikani ade no,Ohia na ebehia wɔn.
17 Yɛ aso na tie anyansafo nsɛm,+Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wode me nimdeɛ bɛto wo koma so.+
18 Efisɛ eye sɛ wode besie wo komam,+Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ne nyinaa bɛda w’ano daa.+
19 Nea ɛbɛyɛ a wode wo ho bɛto Yehowa so no,Merema wo nimdeɛ nnɛ.
20 Makyerɛw wo dedaw,Na matu wo fo ama wo nimdeɛ,
21 Sɛ ɛnkyerɛ wo nsɛm a ɛyɛ nokware a enni huammɔ,Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wubetumi de amanneɛbɔ a ɛyɛ nokware akɔma nea ɔsomaa wo no.
22 Nsisi ohiani, esiane sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani nti,+Na ntiatia mmɔborɔwa so wɔ kurow pon ano.+
23 Efisɛ Yehowa ankasa bedi wɔn asɛm ama wɔn,+Na obiara a osisi wɔn no, Obegye ne nkwa* afi ne nsam.
24 Wo ne onipa a ne bo fuw ntɛmntɛm mmfa yɔnko,Na wo ne onipa a ne koko haw no mmmɔ,
25 Na woansua n’akwan da,Na woansum wo ho* afiri.+
26 Mfa wo ho mfra wɔn a wokyiakyia nkurɔfo nsam de di agyinam no,Wɔn a wosi awowa no.+
27 Sɛ woannya nea wode betua a,Wobeyi wo mpa afi w’ase!
28 Mpiapia ɔhye a ɛwɔ hɔ fi tete no,Nea w’agyanom atwa ato hɔ no.+
29 Woahu onipa a n’adwuma ho twa* anaa?
Ahemfo anim na obegyina;+Ɔrennyina onipa biara kɛkɛ anim.
