9 Mfaso bɛn na odwumayɛni nya fi nʼadwumaden mu?
Ulenzuzo bani osebenzayo kwatshikatshika kikho?
10 Mahu adesoa a Onyankopɔn de ato nnipa so.
Ngiwubonile umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awunike abantwana babantu ukuthi baphatheke ngawo.
11 Wayɛ biribiara fɛfɛ wɔ ne bere mu. Ɔde nkwa a ɛnsa da ahyɛ nnipa koma mu, nanso wontumi nte nea Onyankopɔn ayɛ fi mfiase kosi awiei no ase.
Konke ukwenze kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sakho; wasebeka iphakade enhliziyweni yabo, ukuze kungabi lomuntu ongafumana umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awenzayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni.
12 Minim sɛ biribiara nni hɔ a eye ma nnipa kyɛn sɛ wobegye wɔn ani na wɔayɛ nea eye bere a wɔte ase.
Ngiyazi ukuthi kakukho okuhle kubo ngaphandle kokuthokoza lokwenza okuhle empilweni yakhe.
13 Sɛ obiara bedidi na wanom na wanya anigye wɔ ne dwumadi nyinaa mu, eyi ne Onyankopɔn akyɛde.
Futhi lokuthi wonke umuntu adle anathe akholise okuhle ngomtshikatshika wakhe wonke, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.
14 Minim sɛ biribiara a Onyankopɔn yɛ no bɛtena hɔ daa, wɔrentumi mfa biribi nka ho na wɔrentumi nyi biribi mfi mu. Onyankopɔn yɛ eyi sɛnea nnipa de nidi bɛma no.
Ngiyazi ukuthi konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kuzakuba khona phakade; kakukho okuzakwengezelelwa kukho, njalo kakukho okuzaphungulwa kukho; uNkulunkulu wakwenza ukuze besabe phambi kwakhe.
15 Biribiara a ɛwɔ hɔ nnɛ no, aba pɛn, na nea ɛbɛba no nso aba dedaw; na Onyankopɔn bɛfrɛ nea asi dedaw no ama akontaabu.
Lokho okwakukhona kukhona khathesi, lalokho okuzakuba khona sekuvele kukhona; njalo uNkulunkulu ufuna okuxotshiweyo.
16 Na mihuu biribi foforo wɔ owia yi ase sɛ: Amumɔyɛsɛm wɔ nea atemmu wɔ, atɛntreneebea no, amumɔyɛsɛm wɔ hɔ.
Futhi ngasengibona ngaphansi kwelanga indawo yokwahlulela, kwakukhona ububi lapho; lendawo yokulunga, kwakukhona ububi lapho.
17 Medwenee wɔ me koma mu se, “Onyankopɔn bebu atreneefo ne amumɔyɛfo nyinaa atɛn, efisɛ adwuma biara benya ne bere, nneyɛe biara ne ne bere.”
Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami: UNkulunkulu uzakwahlulela olungileyo lomubi, ngoba kukhona lapho isikhathi sayo yonke indaba lesawo wonke umsebenzi.
18 Afei medwenee se, “Nnipa de, Onyankopɔn sɔ wɔn hwɛ ma wohu sɛ wɔte sɛ mmoa.
Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami ngesimo sabantwana babantu ukuthi uNkulunkulu abatshengise obala ukuthi babone ukuthi bona uqobo bazinyamazana.
19 Onipa nkrabea te sɛ mmoa de na ɛda hɔ ma wɔn nyinaa. Sɛnea ɔbaako wu no, saa ara na ɔfoforo nso wu. Wɔn nyinaa wɔ ɔhome baako; onipa nni biribi a ɔde kyɛn aboa. Biribiara yɛ ahuhude.
Ngoba okwehlela abantwana babantu kwehlela lezinyamazana; njalo yinye into ebehlelayo; njengoba omunye esifa, ngokunjalo enye iyafa; yebo konke kulomoya munye, lomuntu kalakho angadlula ngakho inyamazana; ngoba konke kuyize.
20 Wɔn nyinaa kɔ faako; wɔn nyinaa fi dɔte mu na wɔsan kɔ dɔte mu.
Konke kuya endaweninye; konke kuvela ethulini, njalo konke kubuyela ethulini.
21 Hena na onim sɛ onipa honhom foro soro na aboa de sian kɔ asase mu ana?”
Ngubani owazi umoya wabantwana babantu owenyukela phezulu, lomoya wenyamazana owehlela phansi emhlabathini?
22 Enti mihuu sɛ biribiara nni hɔ a eye ma onipa kyɛn sɛ nʼani bɛka nʼadwuma ho, efisɛ ɛno ne ne kyɛfa. Na hena na obetumi de no asan aba sɛ ɔmmɛhwɛ nea ebesi ne wu nʼakyi?
Ngakho ngabona ukuthi kakukho okungcono okwedlula ukuthi umuntu azithokozise ngemisebenzi yakhe, ngoba lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe. Ngoba ngubani ongamletha ukuthi abone lokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe?
