Mmebusɛm 22
1 Din pa ye sen ahonya bebrebe; sɛ wobedi wo ni ye sen dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae fili ki he hingoa ʻoku ongolelei ʻi he fili ki he koloa lahi, pea lelei hake ke ʻofeina ʻi he maʻu ʻae siliva mo e koula.
2 Ɔdefo ne ohiani wɔ ade baako, Awurade ne wɔn nyinaa Yɛfo.
ʻOku nofo fakataha ʻae koloaʻia mo e masiva: ko Sihova, naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
3 Onitefo hu amanehunu a ɛreba na ohintaw ne ho, nanso atetekwaa kɔ nʼanim konya amane.
ʻOku sio mamaʻo atu ʻae tangata fakapotopoto ki he kovi, ʻo ne fufū ia mei ai: ka ʻoku mole atu pe ʻae vale, pea tautea ia.
4 Ahobrɛase ne Awuradesuro ɛma ahonya ne anuonyam ne nkwa.
Ko e totongi ʻoe angavaivai mo e manavahē kia Sihova ko e koloa, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e moʻui.
5 Nsɔe ne mfiri wɔ amumɔyɛfo akwan so, nanso nea ɔbɔ ne kra ho ban no mmɛn ho.
ʻOku ʻi he hala ʻoe talangataʻa ʻae ʻakau talatala mo e ngaahi tauhele: ko ia ʻoku fai ke tauhi hono laumālie te ne hiki mamaʻo mei ai.
6 Kyerɛ abofra ɔkwan a ɔmfa so, na sɛ onyin a ɔremfi so.
Akonakiʻi ʻae tamasiʻi ʻi he hala ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻalu ai: pea ka hoko ia ʻo motuʻa, ʻe ʻikai te ne foki mei ai.
7 Adefo di ahiafo so, na boseagyefo yɛ nea ɔde fɛm somfo.
ʻOku pule ʻae koloaʻia ki he masiva, pea ko ia ʻoku nō ʻoku tamaioʻeiki kiate ia ʻoku foaki mai.
8 Nea odua amumɔyɛsɛm no twa ɔhaw na wɔbɛsɛe nʼabufuwhyew abaa.
Ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻae kovi ʻe utu ʻe ia ʻae mamahi: pea ʻe ʻauha ia ʻi he meʻa tā ʻi heʻene ʻita.
9 Ɔyamyefo benya nhyira efisɛ ɔne ahiafo kyɛ nʼaduan.
ʻE monūʻia ia ʻoku mataʻofa; he ʻoku foaki ʻe ia a ʻene mā ki he masiva.
10 Pam ɔfɛwdifo na basabasayɛ nso bɛkɔ; ntɔkwaw ne animka to atwa.
Ke lī kituʻa ʻaia ʻoku manuki, pea ʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae fakakikihi foki: ʻio, ʻe ngata ʻae feʻiteʻitani mo e lauʻikovi.
11 Obi a ɔdɔ koma a mu tew na ne kasa ho yɛ nyam no, benya ɔhene afa no adamfo.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki he loto maʻa, ʻe kāinga ʻaki ia ʻe he tuʻi koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻo hono loungutu.
12 Awurade ani wɛn nimdeɛ, na ɔsɛe ɔtorofo nsɛm.
ʻOku tauhi ʻae poto ʻe he fofonga ʻo Sihova, pea ʻoku ne fulihi ʻae ngāue ʻae angahala.
13 Ɔkwadwofo ka se, “Gyata bi wɔ mfikyiri hɔ!” anaasɛ, “Wobekum me wɔ mmɔnten so.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko, “ʻOku ai ʻae laione ʻituʻa, pea te u mate ʻi he ngaahi hala.”
14 Ɔbea waresɛefo anom yɛ amoa donkudonku; nea ɔhyɛ Awurade abufuw ase no bɛtɔ mu.
Ko e ngutu ʻoe kau fefine kovi ko e luo taumamaʻo: pea ʻe tō ki ai ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sihova.
15 Agyimisɛm kyekyere abofra koma ho, nanso nteɛso abaa bɛpam no akɔ akyiri.
ʻOku nonoʻo ʻae vale ʻi he loto ʻoe tamasiʻi; ka ko e vaʻa ʻakau ʻoe tauteʻi ʻe kapusi mamaʻo ai ia ʻiate ia.
16 Obi besisi ohiani de apɛ ahonya, anaa ɔbɛkyɛ ɔdefo ade, ne nyinaa de no kɔ ohia mu.
Ko ia ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻae masiva ke tupu ai ʻene koloa, pea mo ia ʻoku foaki ki he koloaʻia, ʻe hoko moʻoni kiate ia ʻae masiva.
17 Yɛ aso na tie anyansasɛm yi; fa wo koma di me nkyerɛkyerɛ akyi,
Fakaongo ho telinga, pea fanongo ki he lea ʻae poto, pea fakatokangaʻi ho loto ki heʻeku ʻilo.
18 efisɛ eye sɛ wokora saa nsɛm yi wɔ wo koma mu, na ne nyinaa ada wʼano.
He ko e meʻa lelei ʻo kapau te ke tauhi ia ʻiate koe; pea ʻe taau ke lea ʻaki ia ʻe ho loungutu.
19 Sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wode wo ho bɛto Awurade so, merekyerɛkyerɛ wo nnɛ, yiw ɛyɛ wo.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻia Sihova hoʻo falala, ʻaia kuo u fakahā kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻio, kiate koe pe.
20 Menkyerɛw mmɛ aduasa mmaa wo, nea ɛyɛ afotusɛm ne nimdeɛ,
ʻIkai kuo u tohi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei, ʻi he enginaki, pea mo e poto,
21 a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo nokware ne nea akyinnye nni ho, sɛnea wubenya mmuae pa ama nea ɔsomaa wo no ana?
koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ai kiate koe ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi lea moʻoni: koeʻuhi ke ke tali ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe moʻoni ʻakinautolu ʻoku fekau mai kiate koe?
22 Mmɔ ahiafo korɔn, sɛ wɔyɛ ahiafo nti, na nsisi wɔn a wonni bi wɔ asennii,
ʻOua naʻa kaihaʻa mei he masiva koeʻuhi ko e masiva ia: pea ʻoua naʻa fakamālohiʻi ʻaia ʻoku mamahi ʻi he matapā:
23 efisɛ Awurade bedi wɔn asɛm ama wɔn, na wafom afa wɔn a wɔfom ahiafo fa.
Koeʻuhi ʻe langomakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova, pea te ne maumauʻi ʻae laumālie ʻonautolu ʻoku maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
24 Mfa obi a ne koma yɛ den no adamfo, na mfa wo ho mmɔ nea ne bo nkyɛ fuw,
ʻOua naʻa ke fakakāinga mo e tangata faʻa ʻita; pea ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke ʻalu mo ha tangata loto lili:
25 anyɛ saa a, wubesua nʼakwan na woakɔtɔ afiri mu.
Telia naʻa ke ako ki hono ngaahi hala, pea tauheleʻi ai ho laumālie.
26 Nyɛ nea ɔde ne nsa hyɛ krataa ase di akagyinamu anaasɛ odi akagyinamu;
Ke ʻoua naʻa ke kau koe mo kinautolu ʻoku fepukeaki nima, pe ko kinautolu ʻoku fakapapau ki he fai ʻo ha totongi.
27 na sɛ wunni nea wɔde tua a wobehuam wo mpa mpo afi wʼase.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai hao meʻa ke totongi aki, ko e hā ʻoku ʻave ai ho mohenga mei lalo ʻiate koe?
28 Ntutu tete abo a wɔde ato hye, nea wo nenanom de sisii hɔ no.
ʻOua naʻa hiki ʻae kauʻā motuʻa, ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe hoʻo kau mātuʻa.
29 Wuhu obi a ne nsa akokwaw nʼadwuma ho ana? Ahemfo anim na ɔbɛsom, na ɔrensom wɔ mpapahwekwa anim.
ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku faʻa fai ki heʻene ngāue? ʻE tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi; ʻe ʻikai nofo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai meʻavale.
