1 Ndodana yami, ungakhohlwa imfundiso yami, kodwa ugcine imilayo yami enhliziyweni yakho,
Me ba, mma wo werɛ mfi me nkyerɛkyerɛ, kora me mmara wɔ wo koma mu,
2 ngoba izakwandisa impilo yakho okweminyaka eminengi, ikuphe ukuthula.
na ɛbɛma wo nkwa aware, mfe bebree na ɛde yiyedi abrɛ wo.
3 Akungasuki kuwe loba nini uthando lokuthembeka; kubophele entanyeni yakho, ukubhale egwalibeni lenhliziyo yakho.
Mma adɔe ne nokware mmfi wo nkyɛn fa yan wo kɔn mu kyerɛw gu wo koma pon so.
4 Ngalokho uzathandeka uzuze ibizo elihle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu laphambi kwabantu.
Na wubenya adom ne din pa wɔ Onyankopɔn ne nnipa anim.
5 Themba kuThixo ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungathembi ekuzwisiseni kwakho;
Fa wo koma nyinaa to Awurade so, na mfa wo ho nto wʼankasa ntease so;
6 mvume kuzozonke izindlela zakho, yena uzaqondisa zonke izindlela zakho.
hu no wʼakwan nyinaa mu, na ɔbɛteɛ wʼakwan.
7 Ungazenzi ohlakaniphileyo ngokubona kwakho; yesaba uThixo uxwaye okubi.
Nnye wo ho nni sɛ woyɛ onyansafo; suro Awurade na kyi bɔne.
8 Lokho kuzawuphilisa umzimba wakho kuwaqinise lamathambo akho.
Ɛde ahoɔden bɛbrɛ wo nipadua, na ayɛ aduan ama wo nnompe.
9 Dumisa uThixo ngenotho yakho; ngezithelo zakho zokuqala zonke;
Fa wʼahonya hyɛ Awurade anuonyam, ne wo nnɔbae a edi kan nyinaa;
10 ngalokho iziphala zakho zizagcwala ziphuphume, lezimbiza zakho zewayini zize zichitheke ngewayini elitsha.
na ɛno na ɛbɛma wo pata ayɛ ma abu so, na nsa foforo abu afa wʼahina so.
11 Ndodana yami, ungeyisi ukulaya kukaThixo njalo ungacaphukeli ukukhuza kwakhe,
Me ba, sɛ Awurade teɛ wo so a, tie no yiye, na mmu nʼanimka so,
12 ngoba uThixo ulaya labo abathandayo, njengoyise elaya indodana yakhe ayithandayo.
Efisɛ, obiara a Awurade pɛ nʼasɛm no, ɔtwe nʼaso, sɛnea agya teɛ ɔba a ɔdɔ no no.
13 Ubusisiwe umuntu ozuza ukuhlakanipha, umuntu ozuza ukuqedisisa,
Nhyira nka onipa a ohu nyansa, onipa a onya ntease,
14 ngoba khona kulenzuzo eyedlula isiliva lenzuzo eyedlula igolide.
efisɛ, nimdeɛ so mfaso sen dwetɛ, na nea efi mu ba sen sikakɔkɔɔ.
15 Kuligugu elidlula amarubhi; kakukho okuloyisayo okungalinganiswa lakho.
Ne bo yɛ den sen bota; na worentumi mfa wʼapɛde biara ntoto no ho.
16 Impilo ende isesandleni sakho sokunene; kwesokhohlo kulenotho lodumo.
Nkwa tenten wɔ ne nsa nifa mu; ahonyade ne anuonyam wɔ ne nsa benkum mu.
17 Izindlela zakhe zilokuthokoza, lemikhondo yakhe ilokuthula.
Nʼakwan yɛ ahomeka, na nʼanammɔnkwan nyinaa yɛ asomdwoe.
18 Kuyisihlahla sokuphila kulabo abakwamukelayo; labo abakuphathayo bazabusiswa.
Ɔyɛ nkwadua ma wɔn a woso ne mu; wɔn a wokura no mu no benya nhyira.
19 Ngokuhlakanipha uThixo wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, ngokuqedisisa wamisa izulu endaweni yalo;
Nyansa mu na Awurade yɛɛ asase fapem, na ntease mu na ɔde ɔsoro tim hɔ.
20 ngolwazi lwakhe inlwandle zehlukaniswa, lamayezi athontisa amazolo.
Efi ne nimdeɛ mu na ɔkyekyɛɛ ebun mu, na omununkum nso tɔɔ obosu.
21 Ndodana yami, gogosa ingqondo ehlela ngolwazi, ungayekeli kukucatshele;
Me ba, fa atemmu pa ne nhumu sie, na mma emfi wʼani so;
22 kuzakuba yikuphila kuwe, kube ngumceciso omuhle entanyeni yakho.
ɛbɛyɛ nkwa ama wo, nnwinne a ɛma wo kɔn anuonyam wie pɛyɛ.
23 Lapho-ke uzahamba ngendlela evikelweyo unyawo lwakho lungakhubeki;
Afei wo kwan so bɛyɛ wo dwoodwoo, na wo nan renhintiw;
24 nxa ulala kawuyikwesaba; uzalala ubuthongo obumnandi.
sɛ woda a worensuro; sɛ woda a wʼani bekum.
25 Ungabi lovalo nxa ujunywa ngumonakalo kumbe yikubhidlika lokho okwehlela ababi,
Nsuro mpofirim amanehunu anaa ɔsɛe a ɛba amumɔyɛfo so,
26 ngoba uThixo uzakuba lithemba lakho avikele unyawo lwakho emjibileni.
efisɛ Awurade bɛwɔ wʼafa na ɔbɛkora wo nan afi afiri mu.
27 Ungaze wala ukusiza labo abadinga uncedo, wena ulakho ongabasiza ngakho.
Mfa ade pa nkame wɔn a wɔfata, bere a tumi wɔ wo nsam.
28 Ungabokuthi kumakhelwane wakho: “Ubobuya kwesinye isikhathi; ngizakunika kusasa” wena ulalo lololutho.
Nka nkyerɛ wo yɔnko se: “Kɔ na bra; mede bɛma wo ɔkyena” wɔ bere a wowɔ no saa bere no.
29 Ungacebi okubi ngomakhelwane wakho, ohlezi lawe ekwethemba.
Mpam ɔhaw mma wo yɔnko bere a ɔne wo te yiye.
30 Ungaxabani lomuntu kungelasizatho yena engakonelanga ngalutho.
Mmɔ obi sobo kwa bere a ɔnyɛɛ wo bɔne biara ɛ.
31 Ungamhawukeli umuntu othanda ukulwa loba nje ufise lakuphi ukwenza kwakhe,
Mma wʼani mmere basabasayɛfo, na mfa nʼakwan no mu biara,
32 ngoba uThixo uyamenyanya umuntu oxhwalileyo kodwa oqotho umbeka ekhwapheni lakhe.
efisɛ Awurade kyi basabasayɛfo na ɔde ne werɛ hyɛ ɔtreneeni mu.
33 Isiqalekiso sikaThixo sehlela endlini yababi, kodwa uyayibusisa indlu yabalungileyo.
Awurade nnome wɔ omumɔyɛfo fi so, na ohyira ɔtreneeni fi.
34 Uyabahleka usulu abayizideleli ezizithembayo, kodwa abe lomusa kwabathobekileyo.
Odi fɛwdifo a wɔyɛ ahantan no ho fɛw, na ɔdom ahobrɛasefo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so no.
35 Abahlakaniphileyo baphiwa udumo kodwa abayiziwula ubathela ihlazo.
Anyansafo benya anuonyam adi, nanso nkwaseafo de, ɔma wɔn anim gu ase.
