Hyɛ wo ho den sɛ ɔbarima; mɛbisa wo nsɛm, na wobɛyi mʼano.
4 Wawungaphi lapho ngibeka izisekelo zomhlaba na? Ngitshela nxa uqedisisa.
“Ɛberɛ a metoo asase fapem no, na wowɔ he? Sɛ wonim a, ka ɛ.
5 Ngubani owamisa izilinganiso zawo na? Phela angithi uyazi! Ngubani owayidonsayo intambo yokulinganisa kuwo na?
Hwan na ɔsusuu ne tenten ne ne tɛtrɛtɛ? Ampa ara wonim! Hwan na ɔtwee susuhoma faa ani?
6 Izinsika zawo zamiswa phezu kwani na, loba ngubani owamisa ilitshe lawo lekhoneni na
Ɛdeɛn so na ɛgyina, anaasɛ hwan na ɔtoo ne tweatiboɔ no,

12 Sewake wabekela ikuseni umthetho na, loba watshengisa ukusa indawo yakho
“Woahyɛ mmara ama adekyeeɛ da? Anaa woakyerɛ no nʼafa,
13 ukuba kuphakamise umhlaba ngemiphetho kuthintithe ababi abakuwo?
sɛ ɛnkɔka asase ano na ɛntu amumuyɛfoɔ mfiri so?
14 Umhlaba ubumbeka isimo njengebumba ufakwe uphawu; imibala yawo ikhanye ithi bha njengelembu.
Asase fa ne bɔberɛ sɛ dɔteɛ a ɛhyɛ nsɔano ase; na ɛso tebea da adi te sɛ atadeɛ.
15 Ababi bayacitshelwa ukukhanya, lengalo yabo ephakanyisiweyo iyephulwa.
Wɔde amumuyɛfoɔ hann akame wɔn, na wɔn abasa a wɔapagya no mu abu.

“Woapɛɛpɛɛ mu ahunu nsutire a ɛpo firi mu ba anaa woanante ne bunu mu?
17 Amasango okufa aseke abonakaliswa kuwe na? Usuke wawabona amasango ethunzi lokufa na?
Wɔde owuo apono akyerɛ wo? Woahunu owuo sunsumma apono anaa?
18 Ubuqedisisile na ubukhulu bobubanzi bomhlaba? Ngitshela nxa ukwazi konke lokhu.
Woate ewiase a ɛda hɔ hahanaa no ase anaa? Sɛ wonim yeinom nyinaa a, ka kyerɛ me.
19 Yiphi indlela eya ekhaya elihlala ukukhanya na? Ubumnyama bona buhlala ngaphi?
“Ɛhe na hann firi ba? Na ɛhe na esum nso kɔ?
20 Ungakusa ezindaweni zakho na? Uyazazi izindlela eziya emizini yazo na?
Wobɛtumi de wɔn akɔ wɔn siberɛ? Wonim akwan a ɛkɔ wɔn atenaeɛ?
21 Ye uyakwazi, ngoba wawuvele usuzelwe! Usuphile iminyaka yonke le!
Ampa ara wonim, ɛfiri sɛ na woawo wo dada. Woanyini yie!
22 Sewake wangena eziphaleni zikangqwaqwane loba wabona iziphala zesiqhotho na,
“Woakɔ sukyerɛmma adekoradan mu da, anaa woahunu asukɔtweaa adekoradan

27 ukusuthisa ilizwe elilugwadule kulenze lihlume utshani na?
na ama asase bonini a ɛyɛ wesee yi afɔ na ɛserɛ afifiri so?
28 Izulu elinayo liloyise na? Ngubani onguyise wamathonsi amazolo na?
Osutɔ wɔ agya anaa? Hwan na ɔyɛ agya ma obosuo?
29 Ngesikabani isisu esizala iliqhwa na? Ngubani ozala umtshazo ovela phezulu na
Hwan yafunu mu na nsukyeneeɛ fire? Hwan na ɔwoo nsukyeneeɛ mporoporowa firi soro
30 lapho amanzi abalukhuni njengelitshe, lapho iphezulu yolwandle ijiyile?
ɛberɛ a nsuo kyene dane sɛ ɛboɔ, na ebunu ani kyene?
31 Ungasibopha na isiLimela lesi esihle? Ungazithukulula yini izintambo zeziNja?
“Wobɛtumi de ahoma akyekyere Akokɔbaatan ne ne mma? Wobɛtumi asane Nwenwenente nhoma anaa?
32 Ungawuletha na uMthala ngesikhathi sawo loba ukhuphe inkanyezi ethiwa yiNgulube lemidlwane yayo?
Wobɛtumi de anɔpa nsoromma aba wɔ ne berɛ mu anaasɛ wobɛtumi ayi sisire ne ne mma afiri hɔ?
33 Uyayazi imithetho yasezulwini na? Ungawakha yini umbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni?
Wonim mmara a ɛfa ewiem ho? Wobɛtumi de Onyankopɔn ahennie aba asase so?
34 Ungawamemeza yini amayezi uthi akunethise ngesihlambo samanzi?
“Wobɛtumi ama wo nne aduru omununkum so na wode nsuo akata wo ho anaa?
35 Uyakuthuma yini ukuphazima kombane? Uyabika kuwe yini uthi, ‘Ngilapha’?
Wobɛtumi ama anyinam atwa? Wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Yɛnnie anaa’?
36 Ngubani owapha inhliziyo ukuhlakanipha kumbe owapha ingqondo ukuzwisisa na?
Hwan na ɔde nyansa ma akoma anaasɛ ɔde nteaseɛ hyɛ adwene mu.
37 Ngubani ololwazi lokubala amayezi na? Ngubani ongagenqula amaqhaga asezulwini na
Hwan na ɔwɔ nyansa a wɔde kan omununkum? Hwan na ɔbɛtumi akyea ɔsoro nsuo nkotokuo,

39 Uyasizingelela na isilwanekazi ukudla kwaso, uyiqede indlala yezilwane
“Wokɔ ahayɔ ma gyatabereɛ ma agyata didi mee
40 lapho zilele ezikhundleni zazo kumbe zicwathile ezixukwini?
