Solomon Dwom 2:1-17
2 “Me de, meyɛ nhwiren a misi mpoano asaasetraa so,Nhwiren* a misi bon mu.”+
2 “Sɛnea nhwiren* te wɔ nsɔe mu no,Saa ara na me komam hemmaa te wɔ mmabaa mu.”
3 “Sɛnea aprɛ dua te wɔ kwae mu nnua mu no,Saa ara na me dɔfo te wɔ mmerante mu.
M’ani agyina sɛ mɛtena ne nwini mu,Na n’aduaba yɛ me dɛ.
4 Ɔde me aba apontow fi,*Na ohim ne dɔ wɔ me so sɛ frankaa.
5 Momfa bobe keeki nnwudwo me koma;+Momfa aprɛ mmrɛ me mma minnya ahoɔden,Na ɔdɔ abɔ me yare.
6 Ɔde ne nsa benkum ahyɛ me ti ase,Na ɔde ne nsa nifa abam me.+
7 O Yerusalem mma mmea,Mede ɔtwe+ ne wuram ɔwansan* ka ntam gu mo so sɛ:
Monnkanyan ɔdɔ wɔ me mu kosi sɛ ne bere bɛso.+
8 Mete sɛ me dɔfo reba!
Hwɛ! Ɔno na ɔreba no,Ɔreforo mmepɔw, na ɔrehuruw tra nkoko.
9 Me dɔfo te sɛ ɔtwe, ɔte sɛ ɔwansan ba.+
Hwɛ, ɔno na ogyina yɛn dan akyi no,Ɔrehwɛ mfɛnsere mu,Ɔde n’ani afa nkantankantan mu.
10 Me dɔfo kasae, ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ:
‘Me komam hemmaa, sɔre ɛ,Ahoɔfɛdua, bra ma yɛnkɔ.
11 Hwɛ! awɔwbere* atwam.
Osutɔbere atwam; ɛkɔ.
12 Nhwiren apae asaase no so,+Bere aso sɛ wotwitwa nnua ho,+Yɛte aburuburuw su wɔ yɛn asaase so.+
13 Borɔdɔma aba a edi kan abere wɔ ne dua so;+Bobe agu nhwiren, na ɛreyi hua.
Me komam hemmaa, sɔre bra ɛ.
Ahoɔfɛdua, bra ma yɛnkɔ.
14 O m’aburuburuw a wowɔ ɔbotan mu,+Wo a wohyɛ bepɔw mu,Ma minhu wo, na mente wo nne ɛ,+Na wo nne yɛ dɛ, na wo ho twa.’”+
15 “Monkyere sakraman no mma yɛn,Sakraman nketewa a wɔresɛe yɛn bobefuw* no,Efisɛ yɛn bobe no agu nhwiren.”
16 “Me dɔfo wɔ hɔ ma me, na me nso mewɔ hɔ ma no.+
Ɔrehwɛ ne nguan+ wɔ nhwiren* mu.+
17 O me dɔfo, san bra ntɛmTe sɛ ɔtwe+ anaa ɔwansan mma+ a wɔwɔ mpaapaemu mmepɔw* so,Ansa na mframa abɔ brɛoo,* ansa na sunsuma ayera.
