1 Ndodana yami, uba usemukela amazwi ami, ugcine kuwe imilayo yami,
Me ba, sɛ wutie me nsɛm, na woma me mmaransɛm tena wo mu a,
2 ukuthi wenze indlebe yakho ilalele inhlakanipho, uthobise inhliziyo yakho ekuqedisiseni,
sɛ wowɛn wʼaso ma nyansa na wode wo koma ma ntease,
3 yebo, uba ukhalela ukuqedisisa, ukhuphele ilizwi lakho ekuzwisiseni,
na woma wo nne so frɛ nhumu na wusu frɛ ntease,
4 uba ukudinga njengesiliva, ukuphenye njengezimpahla eziligugu ezifihliweyo,
na sɛ wohwehwɛ no te sɛnea wohwehwɛ dwetɛ na wohwehwɛ no sɛnea worepɛ ademude a ahintaw a,
5 khona uzaqedisisa ukuyesaba iNkosi, uthole ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu.
ɛno na wobɛte Awurade suro ase na woahu Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ.
6 Ngoba iNkosi inika inhlakanipho; ulwazi lokuqedisisa kuvela emlonyeni wayo.
Awurade ma nimdeɛ, na nʼanom na nyansa ne ntease fi ba.
7 Iyababekela abaqotho inhlakanipho eqotho; iyisihlangu kubo abahamba ngokuqonda,
Ɔkora nkonimdi ma wɔn a wɔteɛ, ɔyɛ kyɛm ma wɔn a wɔn akwan yɛ pɛ,
8 ukugcina indlela zesahlulelo; izalondoloza indlela zabangcwele bayo.
ɔwɛn nea ɔyɛ pɛ kwan, na ɔbɔ wɔn a wodi no nokware no akwan ho ban.
9 Khona uzaqedisisa ukulunga, lesahlulelo, lokuqonda; yonke indlela elungileyo.
Ɛno na wobɛte nea eye ne nea ɛyɛ pɛ, ne nea ɛfata, ɔkwan biara a eye ase.
10 Lapho inhlakanipho izangena enhliziyweni yakho, lolwazi lube mnandi emphefumulweni wakho;
Afei nyansa bewura wo koma mu, na nimdeɛ ayɛ ahomeka ama wo kra.
11 ingqondo izakugcina, ukuqedisisa kukulondoloze;
Adwene bɛbɔ wo ho ban na ntease ahwɛ wo so.
12 ukukophula endleleni embi, emuntwini okhuluma izinto eziphambeneyo;
Nyansa beyi wo afi amumɔyɛfo akwan mu, ebeyi wo afi nnipa a wɔn nsɛm yɛ basabasa nsam,
13 abatshiya indlela zobuqotho, ukuze bahambe ngendlela zobumnyama;
wɔn a wɔaman afi akwan pa so akɔnantew sum akwan so no,
14 abathokoza ngokwenza okubi, bejabula ekuphambukeni komubi;
wɔn a wɔn ani gye bɔneyɛ ho, na wodi ahurusi wɔ bɔne mu basabasayɛ ho,
15 abandlela zabo ziphambene, begobile emikhondweni yabo;
wɔn a wɔn akwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye na wɔyɛ abonsam wɔ wɔn akwan mu.
16 ukukophula kowesifazana wemzini, kowezizwe okhohlisa ngamazwi akhe;
Nimdeɛ begye wo afi ɔbea waresɛefo no nsam, afi ɔbea warefo huhuni a ɔka nnaadaasɛm ho,
17 otshiya umngane wobutsha bakhe, ekhohlwa isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wakhe;
nea wagyaa ne mmabaabere mu kunu na wapo apam a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no.
18 ngoba indlu yakhe itshonela ekufeni, lemikhondo yakhe emimoyeni efileyo.
Ne fi yɛ ɔkwan a ɛkɔ owu mu na nʼakwan kɔ awufo honhom nkyɛn.
19 Bonke abangena kuye kabayikubuya, njalo kabayikufinyelela endleleni zempilo.
Obiara a ɔkɔ ne nkyɛn no nsan mma anaasɛ ɔrensi nkwa akwan so.
20 Ukuze uhambe endleleni yabalungileyo, ugcine imikhondo yamalungisa.
Enti wubedi nnipa pa anammɔn akyi na woanantew atreneefo akwan so.
21 Ngoba abaqotho bazahlala elizweni, labapheleleyo basale kulo;
Efisɛ wɔn a wɔteɛ bɛtena asase no so, na wɔn a asɛm nni wɔn ho no na wɔbɛka hɔ;
22 kodwa abakhohlakeleyo bazaqunywa basuswe elizweni, labaphambekayo badatshulwe basuswe kulo.
na wobetwa amumɔyɛfo afi asase no so, na wɔatɔre atorofo ase.
