Mmebusɛm 12
1 Obiara a ɔpɛ ahohyɛso no pɛ nimdeɛ, na nea okyi nteɛso no yɛ ogyimifo.
Ko ia ʻoku manako ki he ako ʻoku manako ki he poto: ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he valoki ʻoku anga fakamanu ia.
2 Nnipa pa nya Awurade nkyɛn adom, na Awurade bu amumɔyɛfo fɔ.
ʻOku finangalo lelei ʻa Sihova ki he tangata angalelei: ka ʻe fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae tangata ʻoku filioʻi kovi.
3 Amumɔyɛsɛm rentumi mma onipa ase ntim, na wɔrentumi ntu ɔtreneeni ase.
ʻE ʻikai fokotuʻumaʻu ha tangata ʻe he angahala: ka ʻe ʻikai ngaue ʻae aka ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
4 Ɔyere a ɔwɔ suban pa yɛ ne kunu ahenkyɛw, nanso ɔyere nimguasefo te sɛ porɔwee wɔ ne kunu nnompe mu.
Ko e fefine angalelei ko e tatā ia ki hono husepāniti: ka ko ia ʻoku fakamā ʻoku hangē ia ko e popo ki hono ngaahi hui.
5 Atreneefo nhyehyɛe yɛ pɛ, na amumɔyɛfo afotu yɛ nnaadaa.
ʻOku totonu ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻae angahala ko e kākā ia.
6 Amumɔyɛfo nsɛm da hɔ twɛn mogya, na ɔtreneeni kasa yi wɔn fi mu.
ʻOku alea ʻae angahala ke tatali toitoi ke lilingi toto: ka ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angatonu.
7 Wotu amumɔyɛfo gu na wɔyera, nanso atreneefo fi gyina pintinn.
ʻOku tulaki hifo ʻae angahala, pea ʻikai ʻakinautolu: ka ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae fale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
8 Wɔkamfo onipa sɛnea ne nyansa te na nnipa a wɔn adwene yɛ kɔntɔnkye de, wobu wɔn animtiaa.
ʻE fakamālōʻia, ʻae tangata ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene poto: ka ʻe manukiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku loto talangataʻa.
9 Eye sɛ wobɛyɛ wo ho sɛ ɔteta nanso wowɔ ɔsomfo, sen sɛ wobɛyɛ wo ho sɛ obi, nanso wunni aduan.
Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻanekina, ka ʻoku tauhi ia ʻe ia pe, ʻoku lelei lahi hake ia ʻiate ia ʻoku fakaongoongolelei ia, ʻe ia pe, kae masiva meʻakai.
10 Ɔtreneeni ma ne nyɛmmoa nea wɔpɛ, na amumɔyɛfo nneyɛe a eye pa ara yɛ atirimɔden.
ʻOku tokangaʻi ʻe he tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻae moʻui ʻa ʻene manu: ka ko e manavaʻofa ʻae angahala ko e fakamālohi pe ia.
11 Nea ɔyɛ nʼasase so adwuma no benya aduan bebree, na nea odi nsɛm huhuw akyi no nni adwene.
Ko ia ʻoku faʻa keli hono potu kelekele ʻe mākona ia ʻi he meʻakai: ka ko ia ʻoku muimui ki he kakai vale ʻoku masiva ia ʻi he ʻilo.
12 Amumɔyɛfo pɛ abɔnefo asade, nanso ɔtreneeni ase dɔ.
ʻOku manako ʻae angahala ki he kolo ʻae kakai angakovi: ka ʻoku tupu ʻae fua mei he aka ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
13 Ɔbɔnefo anosɛm yi no sɛ afiri, nanso ɔtreneeni nya ne ho tetew wɔ ahohia mu.
ʻOku tauheleʻi ʻae angahala ʻe he talangataʻa ʻa hono loungutu: ka ʻe hao mai ʻae angatonu mei he kovi.
14 Nneɛma pa fi onipa anom aba mu hyɛ no ma sɛnea ne nsa ano adwuma ma no akatua no.
ʻE fakamākona ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae lelei ʻi he fua ʻo hono ngutu: pea ʻe ʻomi ki he tangata ʻae tupu ʻoe ngāue ʻa hono nima.
15 Ɔkwasea akwan teɛ nʼani so, na onyansafo tie afotu.
ʻOku totonu ʻae hala ʻoe vale ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona: ka ko ia ʻoku ongoʻi ʻae akonaki ʻoku poto ia.
16 Nkwaseafo bo nkyɛ fuw, nanso mmadwemma bu wɔn ani gu animka so.
ʻOku ʻilo leva ʻae ʻita ʻoe vale: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he tangata fakamākukanga ʻae fakamā.
17 Ɔdanseni nokwafo di adanse turodoo, na nea odi adansekurum no twa nkontompo.
Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻoku fakahā ʻe ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻae kākā ʻe he fakamoʻoni loi.
18 Nsɛm hunu keka wowɔ te sɛ afoa nanso onyansafo tɛkrɛma ma abodwo.
ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoka lea ʻoku hangē ko e tui ʻaki ha heletā: ka ko e meʻa fakamoʻui ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe poto.
19 Ano a ɛka nokware no tim hɔ daa, na atoro tɛkrɛma renkyɛ koraa.
ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻae loungutu ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni: ka ʻoku ʻosi ʻi he kemo pe taha ʻae ʻelelo ʻoku loi.
20 Nnaadaa hyɛ wɔn a wodwen bɔne ho no koma mu, na wɔn a wɔpɛ asomdwoe nya ahosɛpɛw.
ʻOku ai ʻae kākā ʻi he loto ʻonautolu ʻoku filioʻi kovi: ka ʻoku ai ʻae fiefia kiate kinautolu ʻoku alea ki he melino.
21 Ɔhaw biara rento ɔtreneeni, nanso amanehunu mee amumɔyɛfo.
ʻOku ʻikai ha kovi ʻe hoko ki he angatonu: ka ʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻae angahala.
22 Awurade kyi ano a etwa atoro, na nʼani gye nnipa a wodi nokware ho.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova ʻae loungutu faʻa loi: ka ʻoku fiefia ia ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fai fakamoʻomoʻoni.
23 Ɔtreneeni mmɔ ne nimdeɛ ho dawuru nanso ɔkwasea koma da agyimisɛm adi.
ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he tangata fakamākukanga ʻa ʻene ʻilo: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻe he loto ʻoe vale ʻae vale.
24 Nsa a ɛyɛ adwuma no bedi tumi, nanso akwadworɔ wie nkoasom mu.
ʻE maʻu ʻae pule ʻe he nima ʻoe faʻa ngāue: ka ʻe moʻulaloa ki he tukuhau ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko.
25 Koma a ɛpere ade ho ma onipa botow, nanso nkuranhyɛsɛm bi hyɛ no den.
Ko e māfasia ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata ʻoku mapelu ai ia: ka ʻoku fakafiefiaʻi ia ʻe he lea lelei.
26 Ɔtreneeni wɔ ntoboase wɔ ayɔnkofa mu, nanso amumɔyɛfo kwan ma wɔfom.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono kaungāʻapi: ka ʻoku kākāʻia ʻae angahala ʻe honau hala.
27 Onihawfo ntoto ne hanam, nanso nsiyɛfo ahonyade som bo ma wɔn.
ʻOku ʻikai ke taʻo ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko ʻae meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ʻi heʻene tuli: ka ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻae koloa ʻoe tangata faʻa ngāue.
28 Trenee kwan mu wɔ nkwa; na owu nni saa kwan no so.
ʻOku ai ʻae moʻui ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻoku ʻikai ai ha mate.
