1 ʻOku mei fē ʻae ngaahi tau mo e fekeʻikeʻi ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻIkai ʻoku mei hoʻomou ngaahi holi kovi ia ʻaia ʻoku tau ʻi homou ngaahi kupu?
Ɔko ne akasakasa a asi mo mu yi firi he? Ɛfiri mo ara mo akɔnnɔ a ɛne mo onipadua di asie no.
2 ʻOku mou holi kae ʻikai maʻu: ʻoku mou tāmateʻi, mo feinga ke maʻu, kae ʻikai faʻa lavaʻi: ʻoku mou fekeʻikeʻi mo tau, kae ʻikai te mou maʻu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou kole.

3 ʻOku mou kole, pea ʻikai maʻu koeʻuhi ʻoku mou kole kovi, koeʻuhi ke mou fakaʻosi ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi holi.
Na sɛ mobisa koraa nso a, mo nsa renka, ɛfiri sɛ, mowɔ adwemmɔne. Mobisa nneɛma a ɛyɛ mo akɔnnɔdeɛ.
4 ʻAe kau tono fefine mo e kau tono tangata, ʻikai te mou ʻilo ko e feʻofoʻofani mo māmani ko e taufehiʻa ia ki he ʻOtua? Pea ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke kāinga mo māmani ko e fili ia ʻoe ʻOtua.
Nnipa a monni gyidie! Monnim sɛ, sɛ mofa ewiase adamfo a, na moyɛ Onyankopɔn atamfoɔ? Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ewiase adamfo no dane Onyankopɔn ɔtamfoɔ.
5 He ʻoku mou mahalo ʻoku pehē noa pē ʻae lea ʻi he tohi tapu; “ʻOku holi ki he meheka ʻae laumālie ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu?”
Mosusu sɛ Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Ninkunutwe ahyɛ honhom a Onyankopɔn de ahyɛ yɛn mu no ma” no wɔkaa no kwa?
6 Ka ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ʻofa lahi hake. Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku tekeʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae laukau ka ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ʻofa ki he angavaivai.”
Nanso, adom a Onyankopɔn dom yɛn no dɔɔso yie. Na Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Onyankopɔn si ahantanfoɔ kwan, na ɔdom ahobrɛasefoɔ.”
7 Ko ia mou fakavaivaiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua. Tekeʻi ʻae tēvolo, pea ʻe puna atu ia meiate kimoutolu.
Enti, momfa mo ho nhyɛ Onyankopɔn ase. Monsi ɔbonsam kwan, na ɔbɛdwane afiri mo ho.
8 ʻUnuʻunu atu ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ia kiate kimoutolu. Fakamaʻa homou nima, ʻae kau angahala; pea fakamaʻa mo homou loto, ʻae kau lotolotoua.
Mommɛn Onyankopɔn, na ɔno nso bɛbɛn mo. Monhohoro mo nsa ho, mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ! Monte mo akoma mu, mo a mo adwene yɛ ntanta!
9 Mou mamahiʻia, pea toʻetoʻe, mo tangi: ke liliu hoʻomou kata ko e toʻetoʻe, pea ko hoʻomou fiefia ko e māfasia.
Monni awerɛhoɔ, monsu, na montwa agyaadwoɔ; momma mo sereɛ nnane su, na mo anigyeɛ nnane awerɛhoɔ.
10 Fakavaivaiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻe hakeakiʻi ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu.
Mommrɛ mo ho ase mma Awurade, na ɔbɛma mo so.
11 ʻE kāinga, ʻoua naʻa feleakoviʻaki ʻakimoutolu kiate kimoutolu. Ko ia ʻoku lauʻikovi hono tokoua, pea fakamaauʻi hono tokoua, ʻoku ne lauʻikovi ʻae fono, pea fakamaauʻi ʻae fono: pea kapau ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻae fono, ʻoku ʻikai te ke fai koe ki he fono, ka ko e fakamaau.
Me nuanom, monnnidi mo ho nsekuro. Obiara a ɔkasa tia ne nua anaa ɔbu no atɛn no, kasa tia Mmara no. Na sɛ wobu Mmara no atɛn a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, afei deɛ wonni Mmara no so.
12 ʻOku ai ʻae tokotaha ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻae fono, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe ia ke fakamoʻui pea ke fakaʻauha: ko hai koe ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻae tokotaha?

Mo a moka sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ anaa ɔkyena yɛbɛtu kwan akɔ kuro bi so akɔdi afe akɔyɛ adwuma, apɛ sika” no, montie me.
14 Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻapongipongi. He ko e hā hoʻomou moʻui? He ko e mao ia, ʻoku hā mai ʻo fuoloa siʻi pe, pea mole atu leva.
Monnim deɛ ɛbɛto mo ɔkyena: Mote sɛ huhuro a ɛba mmerɛ tiawa bi na ayera.
15 Kae totonu hoʻomou pehē, “Kapau ko e finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki ke moʻui ʻakitautolu, te tau fai eni, pe ko ʻena.”
Asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ moka ne sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade pɛ a, yɛbɛyɛ yei anaa yei.”
16 Ka ko eni, ʻoku mou fiefia ʻi hoʻomou faʻa polepole: ka ʻoku kovi ʻae fiefia pehē kotoa pē.
Nanso, seesei mohoahoa mo ho de mo nsa si mo bo; saa ahohoahoa no nyinaa yɛ bɔne.
17 Ko ia ia ʻoku ne ʻilo ke fai lelei, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke fai, ko e angahala ia kiate ia.
Enti, deɛ ɔnim papayɛ na ɔnyɛ no, ɛyɛ bɔne ma no.
