Mmebusɛm 7
1 Me ba, fa me nsɛm sie na kora mʼahyɛde wɔ wo mu.
Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi ami, uzibekele imilayo yami.
2 Di mʼahyɛde so na wubenya nkwa; bɔ me nkyerɛkyerɛ ho ban sɛ nea wodɔ no.
Gcina imilayo yami, uphile, lomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yamehlo akho.
3 Kyekyere bɔ wo nsateaa ho; kyerɛw no yiye gu wo koma pon so.
Ukubophele eminweni yakho, kubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
4 Ka kyerɛ nyansa se, “Woyɛ me nuabea,” na frɛ ntease wo busuani;
Uthi kunhlakanipho: Ungudadewethu; ubize ukuqedisisa ngokuthi yisihlobo sakho;
5 Wɔbɛtwe wo afi ɔbeawaresɛefo ho, afi ɔbeawarefo huhuni nsɛmmɔdɛ ho.
ukuze kukugcine kumfazi wemzini, kowesifazana wemzini oyengayo ngamazwi akhe.
6 Me fi mfɛnsere ano, mede mʼani faa mfɛnsere mu.
Ngoba ewindini lendlu yami, ngeminxibo yewindi ngalunguza phandle,
7 Mihuu wɔ ntetekwaafo mu, mehyɛɛ mmerante no mu baako nsow, ɔbabun a onni adwene.
ngasengibona phakathi kwabangelalwazi, ngananzelela phakathi kwabatsha ijaha eliswele ingqondo,
8 Na ɔnam borɔn a ɛbɛn ɔbea no fi so a nʼani kyerɛ ɔbea no fi
lisedlula esitaladeni eceleni kwengonsi yakhe, linyathela endleleni yendlu yakhe,
9 bere a onwini redwo, na anim rebiribiri no.
kusihlwa, ngentambama yosuku, ebusuku obumnyama, lomnyama.
10 Afei ɔbea bi fi behyiaa no a wasiesie ne ho sɛ oguamanfo a nnaadaa wɔ ne koma mu.
Khangela-ke, owesifazana walihlangabeza, lesembatho sewule, elobuqili ngenhliziyo.
11 (Ɔyɛ hyirenn na hwee mfa ne ho, ɔntena fie koraa;
Lo wayelomsindo, eyisiqholo; inyawo zakhe kazihlali endlini yakhe.
12 nnɛ wohu no mmɔnten so, ɔkyena na ɔte aguabɔbea, ɔtetɛw wɔ mmantwea mmantwea.)
Khathesi uphandle, abesesiba ezitaladeni, ecathama kuyo yonke ingonsi.
13 Osoo ne mu few nʼano, wamfɛre, na ɔkae se,
Ngokunjalo walibamba, walanga, waqinisa ubuso bakhe, wathi kulo:
14 “Mewɔ asomdwoe afɔrebɔde wɔ fie; nnɛ madi me bɔhyɛ so.
Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula ikimi; lamuhla sengibhadele izifungo zami.
15 Enti mebae sɛ merebehyia wo; mehwehwɛɛ wo na mahu wo!
Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ukukuhlangabeza, ngidingisise ubuso bakho; ngikutholile.
16 Mato me mpa, mede nwera a wɔahyɛ no aduru a efi Misraim.
Ngendlele umbheda wami ngezendlalo, ngamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu alemibalabala avela eGibhithe.
17 Mede nnuhuam apete me mpa so: kurobow, pɛprɛ ne dupapo.
Ngifafazile umbheda wami ngemure, izinhlaba, lekinamoni.
18 Bra, ma yɛmfa ɔdɔ mmɔ ɔdɔ mu nkosi anɔpa;
Woza, sizidakise ngothando kuze kuse, sizithokozise ngothando olukhulu.
19 Me kunu nni fie; watu kwan na ɔbɛkyɛ.
Ngoba indoda kayikho endlini yayo, ihambile uhambo khatshana.
20 Ɔde sika a ɛdɔɔso hyɛɛ ne sika kotoku ma na ɔremma kosi ɔsram no kurokumatwa bere mu.”
Ithethe isaka lemali esandleni sayo; ngosuku lwenyanga egcweleyo izakuza endlini yayo.
21 Ɔde tɛkrɛmakyene bɔɔ no adafa; ɔde nnaadaa nyaa no ne no dae.
Walihuga ngobunengi bemfundiso yakhe, walivumisa ngenkulumo zakhe ezincengayo.
22 Odii nʼakyi prɛko pɛ te sɛ nantwi a ɔrekɔ akumii, anaa ɔwansan a ɔde ne ti rekɔhyɛ hankare fi mu
Lahle lamlandela njengenkabi isiya ekuhlatshweni, lanjengesiphukuphuku sisiya ekujezisweni esongweni lenqagala;
23 kosi sɛ bɛmma bɛwɔ ne brɛbo mu, te sɛ anomaa a ɔrekɔtɔ anomaa afiri mu na onnim sɛ ɔbɛhwere ne nkwa.
uze umtshoko uhlabe isibindi salo, njengenyoni iphangisela esifwini, ingazi ukuthi simelene lempilo yayo.
24 Na afei, me mma, muntie me; monyɛ aso mma nea meka.
Khathesi-ke, bantwana, ngizweni, lilalele amazwi omlomo wami.
25 Mommma mo koma mpatiri nkɔ no so na momman mmfa nʼakwan so.
Inhliziyo yakho kayingaphambukeli endleleni zakhe; ungaduhi emikhondweni yakhe.
26 Bebree na wɔnam no so ahwehwe ase; wɔn a wakum wɔn dɔɔso pa ara.
Ngoba ubawisele phansi abanengi abalimeleyo, labo bonke ababuleweyo bakhe banengi.
