Kus woo Nimrod. Na Nimrod bɛyɛɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ wɔ asase so.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
Na ɔyɛ ɔbɔmmɔfoɔ kɛseɛ a Awurade ahyira no, na wɔbɔ ne din ka asɛm. Na obiara a ɔyɛ akokoɔdurusɛm no, wɔde no toto Nimrod a na ɔyɛ ɔbɔmmɔfoɔ kɛseɛ a Awurade ahyira no no ho.
