1 Ndodana yami, uba usemukela amazwi ami, ugcine kuwe imilayo yami,
Me ba, sɛ wotie me nsɛm, na woma me nkyerɛkyerɛ tena wo mu a,
2 ukuthi wenze indlebe yakho ilalele inhlakanipho, uthobise inhliziyo yakho ekuqedisiseni,
sɛ wowɛn wʼaso ma nyansa na wode wʼakoma ma nteaseɛ,
3 yebo, uba ukhalela ukuqedisisa, ukhuphele ilizwi lakho ekuzwisiseni,
na woma wo nne so frɛ nhunumu na wosu frɛ nteaseɛ,
4 uba ukudinga njengesiliva, ukuphenye njengezimpahla eziligugu ezifihliweyo,
na sɛ wohwehwɛ no te sɛ deɛ wohwehwɛ dwetɛ na wo hwehwɛ no sɛdeɛ worepɛ ademudeɛ a ahinta a,
5 khona uzaqedisisa ukuyesaba iNkosi, uthole ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu.
ɛno na wobɛte Awurade suro ase na woahunu Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ.
6 Ngoba iNkosi inika inhlakanipho; ulwazi lokuqedisisa kuvela emlonyeni wayo.
Awurade ma nimdeɛ, na nʼanom na nyansa ne nteaseɛ firi ba.
7 Iyababekela abaqotho inhlakanipho eqotho; iyisihlangu kubo abahamba ngokuqonda,
Ɔkora nkonimdie ma wɔn a wɔteneɛ, ɔyɛ kyɛm ma wɔn a wɔn akwan yɛ pɛ,
8 ukugcina indlela zesahlulelo; izalondoloza indlela zabangcwele bayo.
ɔwɛn deɛ ɔtene akwan, na ɔbɔ wɔn a wɔdi no nokorɛ no akwan ho ban.
9 Khona uzaqedisisa ukulunga, lesahlulelo, lokuqonda; yonke indlela elungileyo.
Ɛno na wobɛte deɛ ɛyɛ ne deɛ ɛyɛ pɛ ne deɛ ɛfata, ɛkwan biara a ɛyɛ ase.
10 Lapho inhlakanipho izangena enhliziyweni yakho, lolwazi lube mnandi emphefumulweni wakho;
Afei nyansa bɛwura wʼakoma mu, na nimdeɛ ayɛ ahomeka ama wo kra.
11 ingqondo izakugcina, ukuqedisisa kukulondoloze;
Adwene bɛbɔ wo ho ban na nteaseɛ ahwɛ wo so.
12 ukukophula endleleni embi, emuntwini okhuluma izinto eziphambeneyo;
Nyansa bɛyi wo afiri amumuyɛfoɔ akwan mu, ɛbɛyi wo afiri nnipa a wɔn nsɛm yɛ basabasa nsam,
13 abatshiya indlela zobuqotho, ukuze bahambe ngendlela zobumnyama;
na wɔmane firi akwan pa so kɔnante esum akwan so,
14 abathokoza ngokwenza okubi, bejabula ekuphambukeni komubi;
wɔn a wɔn ani gye bɔneyɛ ho, na wɔdi ahurisie wɔ bɔne mu basabasayɛ ho,
15 abandlela zabo ziphambene, begobile emikhondweni yabo;
wɔn a wɔn akwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye na wɔyɛ abonsamfoɔ wɔ wɔn akwan mu.
16 ukukophula kowesifazana wemzini, kowezizwe okhohlisa ngamazwi akhe;
Nimdeɛ bɛgye wo afiri ɔbaa waresɛefoɔ no nsam, afiri ɔbaa warefoɔ sansani a ɔka nnaadaasɛm ho,
17 otshiya umngane wobutsha bakhe, ekhohlwa isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wakhe;
deɛ wagyaa ne mmabaawaberɛ mu kunu na wapo apam a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no.
18 ngoba indlu yakhe itshonela ekufeni, lemikhondo yakhe emimoyeni efileyo.
Ne fie yɛ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ owuo mu na nʼakwan kɔ awufoɔ honhom nkyɛn.
19 Bonke abangena kuye kabayikubuya, njalo kabayikufinyelela endleleni zempilo.
Obiara a ɔkɔ ne nkyɛn no nsane mma anaasɛ ɔrensi nkwa akwan so.
20 Ukuze uhambe endleleni yabalungileyo, ugcine imikhondo yamalungisa.
Enti wobɛdi nnipa pa anammɔn akyi na woanante ateneneefoɔ akwan so.
21 Ngoba abaqotho bazahlala elizweni, labapheleleyo basale kulo;
Ɛfiri sɛ wɔn a wɔtene 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 wɔbɛtwa amumuyɛfoɔ afiri asase no so, na wɔatɔre atorofoɔ ase.
