Na nkurɔfo no amanne nka hwee; wotwa dua fi kwae mu, na odwumfo de ne fitii asen.
4 With silver and with gold he beautifies it with nails and with hammers they make strong them and not it will wobble.
Wɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ hyehyɛ no; wɔde nnadewa ne asae bobɔ si hɔ sɛnea ɛrenhwe fam.

Hena na ɛnsɛ sɛ odi wo ni, Amansanhene? Eyi na ɛfata wo. Amanaman no so anyansafo nyinaa mu ne wɔn ahenni nyinaa mu, obiara ne wo nsɛ.
8 And in one they are stupid and they may be foolish [the] correction of futilities [is] wood it.
Wɔn nyinaa yɛ adwenharefo ne nkwaseafo; dua ahoni a so nni mfaso na ɛma wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ.

Wɔde dwetɛ a wɔaboro fi Tarsis ba, ne sikakɔkɔɔ nso fi Ufas ba. Ɛyɛ nea odwumfo ne sika dwumfo ayɛ a wɔde ntama bibiri ne beredum afura no, ne nyinaa yɛ adwumfo anyansafo nsa ano nnwuma.
10 And Yahweh [is] God truth he [is] God living and king of perpetuity from wrath his it shakes the earth and not they will endure nations indignation his.
Nanso Awurade ne nokware Onyankopɔn no; ɔno ne Onyankopɔn teasefo, daapem Hene no. Sɛ ne bo fuw a asase wosow; na amanaman no ntumi nnyina nʼabufuwhyew ano.
11 Like this you will say to them gods the who heavens the and earth the not they made may they perish from earth the and from under heavens the these.
“Ka eyi kyerɛ wɔn: ‘Saa anyame a ɛnyɛ wɔn na wɔyɛɛ ɔsoro ne asase no bɛyera afi asase so ne ɔsorosoro ase.’”
12 [he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.

Sɛ ɔpaapae aprannaa a ɔsorosoro nsu bobɔ mu; ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so fi nsase ano. Ɔde anyinam ka osu ho ba, na ogyaa mframa mu fi nʼadekoradan mu.

Wɔasɛe me ntamadan; wɔatwitwa nʼahama nyinaa mu. Wɔafa me mma nyinaa kɔ a merenhu wɔn bio; anka obiara a obesi me ntamadan anaa obesiesie me suhyɛ.
