14 Nanso Onyankopɔn kasa wɔ akwan ahorow so, na ebia nnipa nte.
For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
15 Ɔkasa wɔ daeso ne anadwo anisoadehu mu, bere a nna afa nnipa na wɔada hatee wɔ wɔn mpa so no,
In a dream - a vision of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people in slumber on a bed.

If there on him - [is] an angel a mediator one of a thousand to tell to anyone uprightness his.

And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
25 afei ne were yɛ foforo sɛ abofra; na esi ne dedaw mu yɛ sɛ mmerantebere mu de.

He has ransomed (self his *Q(K)*) from passing on in the pit (and life his *Q(K)*) on the light it will look.
