“Ɛnnɛ mpo, mʼabooboodie mu da so yɛ den; ne nsa ayɛ den mʼapinisie nyinaa akyi.
3 Nenye ɖe manya afi si makpɔe le, nenye ɖe mayi enɔƒe la, anyo ŋutɔ!
Sɛ menim baabi a mɛhunu no; anaasɛ mɛtumi akɔ ne tenaberɛ a,
4 Matsɔ nye nya aɖo eŋkume eye nye nu me ayɔ fũu kple nya siwo matsɔ aɖe ɖokuinye nu
anka mɛka mʼasɛm wɔ nʼanim na magye akyinnyeɛ bebree.
5 Ne makpɔ ale si wòaɖo eŋu nam eye mabu nya si wòagblɔ la ŋuti.
Anka mɛte mmuaeɛ a ɔde bɛma me, na madwene deɛ ɔbɛka ho.
6 Ɖe wòatsi tsitre ɖe ŋunye kple ŋusẽ gã aɖea? Ao, ke boŋ aɖo tom
Ɔde tumi a ɛso bɛtia me anaa? Dabi, ɔremmɔ me kwaadu.
7 Afi ma ame dzɔdzɔe ate ŋu atsɔ eƒe nyawo aɖo eŋkume le eye woaɖem tegbee tso nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ƒe asi me.
Ɛhɔ deɛ nnipa tenenee bɛtumi aka nʼasɛm wɔ nʼanim, na wɔbɛgye me afiri me ɔtemmufoɔ nsam afebɔɔ.
8 “Gake ne meyi ɣedzeƒe la, mele afi ma o, ne meyi ɣetoɖoƒe la, nyemekpɔe le afi ma hã o.
“Nanso sɛ mekɔ apueeɛ fam a, ɔnni hɔ; sɛ mekɔ atɔeɛ fam nso a, menhunu no.
9 Ne ele dɔ wɔm le anyiehe la, nyemekpɔnɛ o, ne etrɔ ɖe dziehe hã la, nye ŋku melɔnɛ o.
Sɛ ɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ atifi fam a, menhunu no; sɛ ɔdane ne ho kɔ anafoɔ fam a, mʼani nhye ne ho.
10 Gake enya mɔ si dzi mele, ne edom kpɔ la, mato eme abe sika ene.
Nanso, ɔnim ɛkwan a me nam soɔ; na sɛ ɔsɔ me hwɛ a, mɛfiri mu aba sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ.
11 Nye afɔwo le eƒe afɔtoƒewo yome kplikplikpli, melé eƒe mɔ tsɔ eye nyemedze ɖe aga o.
Madi nʼanammɔn akyi pɛɛ; na manante nʼakwan so a mammane.
12 Nyemete ɖe aga tso eƒe nuyiwo ƒe sededewo gbɔ o, mede asixɔxɔ eƒe nyawo ŋu wu nye gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuɖu.
Mentwee me ho mfirii mmaransɛm a ɛfiri nʼanom ho, mama asɛm a ɛfiri nʼanom ho ahia me asene me daa aduane.
13 “Ke eya ɖekae li, ame ka ate ŋu axe mɔ nɛ? Nu sia nu si dze eŋu lae wòwɔna.
“Nanso ɔbiara nni hɔ ka ne ho, na hwan na ɔbɛtumi atia no? Ɔyɛ biribiara a ɔpɛ.
14 Ena se siwo wòde ɖi la va eme ɖe ŋutinye eye ɖoɖo siawo tɔgbi gale esi ɖe ŋunye.
Ɔhwɛ ma ne ɔhyɛ nsɛm tia me; ɔda so kora nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛte sei bebree.
15 Esia ta ŋɔ dzim le eŋkume eye ne mebu esiawo katã ŋuti la, mevɔ̃na nɛ.
Ɛno enti na mebɔ hu wɔ nʼanim; na sɛ medwene yeinom nyinaa ho a, mesuro no.
16 Mawu na dzi ɖe le ƒonye, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la do ŋɔdzi nam.
Onyankopɔn ama mʼakoma aboto; Otumfoɔ ama mabɔ huboa.
17 Ke hã la, viviti la alo blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi si tsyɔ mo nam la mena ɖoɖoe zi le nunye o.
Nanso esum no mma menka mʼano ntom, esum kabii a ɛkata mʼanim no mpo.
