1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Elifasi mei Timani, ʻo ne pehē,
Na Temanni Elifas buae se,
2 “He ʻoku taau mo e tangata poto ke lau meʻa vaʻinga, mo fakapito hono kete ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake?
“Enti onyansafo de nsɛm a aba biara nni mu beyi nʼano anaasɛ ɔde apuei mframa a emu yɛ hyew bɛhyɛ nʼafuru ma?
3 ʻOku taau ʻene leaʻaki ʻae lea taʻeʻaonga? Pe ko e ngaahi lau ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻaki ha lelei?
Ɔde nsɛm huhuw begye akyinnye, aka nsɛm a mfaso biara nni so ana?
4 ʻIo, ʻoku ke liʻaki ʻae manavahē, pea ke taʻofi ʻae lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
Wototo onyamesuro ase mmom na wusiw Onyankopɔn som ho kwan.
5 He ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe ho ngutu ʻa hoʻo angahala, ka ʻoku ke fili ki he ʻelelo ʻoe fakaoloolo.
Wo bɔne kyerɛ wʼano nea ɔnka; na woafa anitew tɛkrɛma.
6 ʻOku talatalaakiʻi koe ʻe ho ngutu pe ʻoʻou, kae ʻikai ko au: ʻio, ko ho loungutu pe ʻoʻou ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate koe.
Wʼankasa wʼano bu wo kumfɔ, ɛnyɛ me de; wʼankasa wʼano di adanse tia wo.
7 “He ko e ʻuluaki tangata koe naʻe fanauʻi? Pe naʻe fakatupu koe ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga?
“Wone onipa a wɔwoo wo dii kan ana? Wɔwoo wo ansa na wɔrewo nkoko ana?
8 He kuo ke fanongo ʻe koe ki he meʻa fufū ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoku ke fakangata ʻae poto kiate koe?
Wutie Onyankopɔn afotu ana? Wo nko ara na wunim nyansa ana?
9 Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo? Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo pau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu?
Dɛn na wunim a, yennim? Nhumu bɛn na wowɔ a yenni?
10 ʻOku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻuluhinā mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻoku motuʻa lahi ʻi hoʻo tamai.
Nea wafuw dwen ne akwakoraa wɔ yɛn afa wɔn a wɔanyinyin sen wʼagya mpo.
11 He ʻoku siʻi ʻae ngaahi fakafiemālie ʻae ʻOtua kiate koe? He ʻoku ai ha meʻa fakalilolilo ʻiate koe?
Onyankopɔn awerɛkyekye ne nsɛm a wɔka no brɛoo kyerɛ wo no sua ma wo ana?
12 Ko e hā ʻoku ʻāvea ai koe ʻe ho loto? Pea ʻoku lalama ho mata ʻi he hā.
Adɛn nti na wo koma atwe wo akɔ adɛn nti na wʼani asɔ gya,
13 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ke fakafoki ho loto ke tuʻu ki he ʻOtua, pea tuku ke tafe ʻae ngaahi lea ni mei ho ngutu?
na woadan wʼabufuw agu Onyankopɔn so na woma saa nsɛm yi pue fi wʼano?
14 Ko e hā ʻae tangata, ke pehē ʻoku maʻa ia? Pe ha taha ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine, ke pehē ʻoku tonuhia ia?
“Ɔdesani ne hena a obetumi ayɛ pɛ, anaasɛ nea ɔbea awo no bɛn na obetumi ayɛ ɔtreneeni?
15 Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai falala siʻi ʻe ia ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, naʻa mo e ngaahi langi ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻao.
Onyankopɔn nni ahotoso wɔ nʼakronkronfo mu ɔsorosoro mpo nyɛ kronkron wɔ nʼani so,
16 Ka ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ne inumia ʻae angahala ʻo hangē ha vai?
na me ne onipa debɔneyɛfo ne omumɔyɛfo a ɔnom bɔne sɛ nsu.
17 “Te u fakahā kiate koe, fanongo kiate au; pea ko ia kuo u mamata ai te u fakamatala atu;
“Tie me, na mɛkyerɛ wo mu; ma menka nea mahu nkyerɛ wo,
18 ʻAia naʻe tala ʻe he kakai poto mei heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo ʻikai fufū ia:
nea anyansafo apae mu aka, a wɔamfa biribiara a wonya fii wɔn agyanom hɔ no ansie
19 ʻAkinautolu pē naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai feʻaluʻaki ha muli ʻiate kinautolu.
(wɔn nko ara na wɔde asase no maa wɔn bere a ananafo biara nni wɔn mu):
20 ʻOku langa mamahi ʻae tangata angahala ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fufū mei he fakaaoao ʻae lau ʻoe ngaahi taʻu.
Omumɔyɛfo kɔ ahohia mu, ne nkwanna nyinaa, na basabasayɛni nso, ne mfe a wɔahyehyɛ ama no nyinaa.
21 Ko e ongo fakailifia ʻoku ʻi hono telinga: ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene monūʻia ʻe hoko kiate ia ʻae fakaʻauha.
Nnyigyei a ɛyɛ hu hyɛ nʼasom ma; na sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ nneɛma rekɔ yiye ma no a, akorɔmfo tow hyɛ ne so.
22 ʻOku ʻikai ʻamanaki ʻe ia ke ne liu mai mei he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku talia ia ʻe he heletā.
Ɔpa abaw sɛ obeguan afi sum mu; wɔabɔ no ato hɔ ama afoa.
23 ʻOku ʻalu fano pe ia ʻo kumi ʻae mā, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko mā ia?’ ʻOku ne ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli.
Okyinkyin hwehwɛ aduan; onim sɛ sum da no abɛn.
24 ʻE fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga; te na ikuna ia, ʻo hangē ha tuʻi kuo teu ki he tuʻa.
Ɔhaw ne ahoyeraw yi no hu; ɛhyɛ ne so sɛ ɔhene a wasiesie ne ho ama ɔko,
25 He ʻoku ne mafao atu hono nima ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻo tuʻu ki he Māfimafi.
efisɛ ɔteɛteɛ ne nsa kyerɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔma ne ho so tia Otumfo,
26 ʻOku ne ʻohofi kiate ia, ʻio, ki hono kia, ki he ngaahi potu matolu ʻo hono sifa fatafata:
wɔde nkatabo a mu piw na ɛyɛ den kɔ ne so a, onsuro obiara.
27 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ne fai ke fuʻu pupula hono mata, pea ne fangapesi ke matolu ʻae ngako ʻi hono ngaahi potu.
“Ɛwɔ mu sɛ srade ama nʼafono atotɔ na nʼasen mu nam abubu agu so de,
28 Ka ʻoku ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo lala, ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha taha, ʻaia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ko e ngaahi tuʻunga veve.

29 ʻE ʻikai koloaʻia ia, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakatolonga hono lelei ʻi he fonua.
Ɔrenkɔ so nyɛ ɔdefo bio, na nʼahonya rennyina, na nʼagyapade so bɛtew na ayera wɔ asase so.
30 ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ia mei he fakapoʻuli; ʻe mangia ʻe he afi ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻi he mānava ʻo hono fofonga ʻe mole atu ia.
Ɔrenguan sum no; ogyaframa bɛhyew ne mman, na Onyankopɔn anom ahomegu bɛsoa no akɔ.
31 Ke ʻoua naʻa falala ia ʻaia kuo kākaaʻi ki he vaʻinga: ko hono totongi ko e vaʻinga pe.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho to nneɛma huhuw so de daadaa ne ho, efisɛ ɔrennya hwee mfi mu.
32 ʻE fakamoʻoni eni ʻi he teʻeki hoko hono ʻaho, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻuiʻui hono vaʻa.
Ansa na ne da bedu no, wobetua no ka a bi nka, na ne mman renyɛ frɔmfrɔm.
33 ʻE lulu ʻe ia ke tō hono fuhi kālepi taʻemomoho ʻo hangē pe ko e vaine, pea te ne fakamokulu hono fisi ʻo hangē pē ko e ʻolive.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ bobedua a wɔaporow so aba a ennyin ɛ, te sɛ ngodua a ne nhwiren reporow gu fam.
34 He koeʻuhi ʻe lala ʻae fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kau angahala, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he afi ʻae ngaahi fale naʻe maʻu ʻaki ʻae koloa kovi.
Na abɔnefo fekuw a wonnim Onyankopɔn no rensow aba, na ogya bɛhyew wɔn a wɔdɔ kɛtɛasehyɛ no ntamadan.
35 ʻOku nau tuʻituʻia ʻi he pauʻu, pea nau fanauʻi ʻae vaʻinga, pea ʻoku teuteu ʻe honau loto ʻae kākā.
Wonyinsɛn ɔhaw na wɔwo bɔne; wɔn awotwaa siesie nnaadaa.”
