6 Efi bere a mede Israelfo fi Misraim bae de besi nnɛ no, mentenaa ɔdan mu da. Daa wotu mʼase fi baabi kɔ baabi.

8 “Afei, kɔka kyerɛ me somfo Dawid se, ‘Sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni: Miyii wo fii mmoa adidibea ne nguan akyidi mu, de wo besii me nkurɔfo Israel so hene.
9 Na baabiara a wokɔ no, meka wo ho, na matwa wʼatamfo nyinaa afi wʼanim. Na mɛma woagye din wɔ asase yi nyinaa so.
10 Na mama me nkurɔfo Israelfo no baabi a wɔbɛtena afebɔɔ. Beae bi a ɛwɔ bammɔ a obiara renhaw wɔn. Ɛhɔ bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa asase a aman amumɔyɛfo renhyɛ wɔn so, sɛnea wɔyɛɛ bere bi a atwa mu no,
11 efi bere a mepaw atemmufo sɛ wonni me nkurɔfo so no. Mɛsan ama mo bammɔ afi mo atamfo nyinaa nsam. “‘Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo se, ɔno Awurade na ɔbɛkyekyere ofi ama wo; ahemfo ntoatoaso fi.
12 Na sɛ wo nna to twa a, mɛma wʼaseni a ofi wʼasen mu adi wʼade, na matim nʼaheman ase.

16 Wo fi ne wʼahenni betim wɔ mʼanim afebɔɔ; na wʼahengua betim daa nyinaa.’”
17 Enti Natan san kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn kɔkaa nsɛm a Awurade aka no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
18 Na ɔhene Dawid kɔtenaa Awurade anim bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade Tumfo, me ne hena, na me fifo yɛ dɛn a wode me abedu nnɛ?
19 Na afei Otumfo Awurade, eyinom nyinaa akyi no, woka sɛ wobɛma me ahenni a ɛte hɔ daa. Woyɛ nnipa nyinaa sɛɛ ana, Awurade Tumfo?
20 “Dɛn bio na metumi aka? Efisɛ wunim wʼakoa, Awurade Tumfo.
21 Wʼasɛm ne wo pɛ mu nti, woayɛ nneɛma kɛse yi nyinaa akyerɛ wo somfo.
22 “Wo kɛseyɛ yɛ kokuroo, Awurade Tumfo! Obiara nte sɛ wo, Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ sɛ wo, na yɛntee onyame foforo bi mpo ho asɛm ɛ!
23 Ɔman bɛn na ɛwɔ asase yi so a ɛte sɛ Israel? Ɔman foforo bɛn na woayi no afi nkoasom mu de wɔn ayɛ wo man? Bere a wuyii wo nkurɔfo fii Misraim no, wugyee din. Woyɛɛ anwonwade a ɛyɛ hu de pam aman ne ahoni ahorow a na wɔyɛ akwanside ma wo nkurɔfo no.
24 Woasi wo nkurɔfo Israel sɛ wʼankasa wʼade afebɔɔ, na wo, Awurade, woabɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.
25 “Na afei, Awurade Nyankopɔn, di bɔ a wohyɛ faa wʼakoa ne ne fi ho no so. Ma ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa,
