1 Nka akɔkoraa anim, na mmom, hyɛ no nkuran, sɛdeɛ wobɛyɛ ama wʼagya. Sɛdeɛ wobɛyɛ wo nuabarima no saa ara na fa yɛ mmabunu,
Ungamkhuzi ngolaka umuntu omdala kodwa mncenge ngokungathi nguyihlo. Amajaha aphathe njengabafowenu,
2 yɛ mmaa mpanimfoɔ sɛ wo maamenom, na mmabaawa nso, fa wɔn sɛ wo nnuammaa wɔ kronnyɛ mu.
abesifazane abadala njengonyoko, abesifazane abatsha njengodadewenu ngokuhlambuluka okupheleleyo.
3 Ma wʼani nku mmaa akunafoɔ a wɔnni ahwɛfoɔ ho.
Woba lonanzelelo olufaneleyo kubafelokazi abaswelayo kakhulu.
4 Sɛ okunafoɔ bi wɔ mma anaa mmanana a, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa nyamesom pa so de som wɔn abusua de tua wɔn awofoɔ ne nananom ka, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔyɛ saa a na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani.
Kodwa nxa umfelokazi elabantwana kumbe abazukulu, kumele bafunde kuqala kulakho konke ukusebenzisa ukholo lwabo ngokukhathalela abendlu yakwabo langokusiza abazali babo labazali babazali babo ngoba lokhu kuyamthokozisa uNkulunkulu.
5 Ɔbaa a ɔyɛ okunafoɔ ampa ara no a ɔnni obi a ɔhwɛ no no de nʼanidasoɔ nyinaa ahyɛ Onyankopɔn mu, enti anadwo ne awia, ɔkɔ so bɔ mpaeɛ srɛ ne mmoa.
Umfelokazi oswelayo kakhulu njalo esele eyedwa ubeka ithemba lakhe kuNkulunkulu njalo uqhubeka ebusuku lemini ekhuleka ecela usizo kuNkulunkulu.
6 Nanso, sɛ okunafoɔ bi de ne ho ma ewiase a, na ɔyɛ teaseawuo.
Kodwa umfelokazi ophilela intokozo ufile lanxa esaphila.
7 Ka saa mmara yi kyerɛ wɔn na obi annya wo ho mfomsoɔ.
Banike labo abantu izeluleko lezi ukuze angabikhona ongasoleka.
8 Na sɛ obi nhwɛ ne fiefoɔ, ne titire no, ɔno ara nʼabusuafoɔ a, na wabu ne gyidie so. Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔyɛ onipa bɔne sene deɛ ɔnnye nni no.
Nxa umuntu enganakekeli izihlobo zakhe ikakhulu abendlu yakwabo, uselulahlile ukholo lwakhe njalo mubi kakhulu kulongakholwayo.
9 Mfa okunafoɔ biara a ɔnni mmoroo mfeɛ aduosia din nka akunafoɔ din ho. Asɛm a ɛka ho ne sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ obi a wadi ne kunu nokorɛ,
Akulamfelokazi ozabekwa eluhlwini lwabafelokazi ngaphandle kokuba eseleminyaka edlula engamatshumi ayisithupha, obengokade ethembekile kumkakhe
10 na afei wagye din wɔ nneyɛeɛ pa ho. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a watete ne mma yie na ɔgyee ahɔhoɔ wɔ ne fie na ɔhohoroo Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nan ase na ɔboaa ahokyerefoɔ na ɔde ne ho maa nnwuma pa ahodoɔ nyinaa.
njalo edumile ngezenzo zakhe ezinhle, ezinjengokondla abantwana, lokuphatha kuhle izihambi, lokugezisa inyawo zabangcwele, lokusiza abahluphekayo kanye lokuzinikela kuzozonke izenzo ezinhle.
11 Mfa akunafoɔ nkumaa no din nka wɔn ho. Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsane ware a, wɔte wɔn ho firi Kristo ho
Abafelokazi abasesebatsha ungababeki eluhlwini olunjalo. Ngoba lapho izinkanuko zabo zomzimba sezikhulela ukuzinikela kwabo kuKhristu bafuna ukwenda.
12 na ɛma wɔdi fɔ sɛ wɔabu wɔn bɔhyɛ a ɛdi ɛkan so.
Ngalokho-ke, bazilethela ukwahlulelwa phezu kwabo ngoba bephule isithembiso sabo sokuqala.
13 Ɛno akyi, wɔsɛe wɔn berɛ kɔ afieafie mu na deɛ ɛnyɛ koraa ne sɛ, wɔdi nsekuro yɛ pɛrepɛre, ka nsɛm a anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔka.
Langaphandle kwalokho, basuka babe lomkhuba wokuvilapha batshone benquma ngemizi. Njalo kababi ngamavila nje kuphela kodwa bangabanyeyayo labathandi bezindaba zabanye besitsho izinto okungafanelanga bazitsho.
14 Enti me pɛ ne sɛ, akunafoɔ nkumaa no bɛware, awo mma na wɔahwɛ wɔn afie sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a atamfoɔ nnya wɔn ho ɛkwan nka nsɛm ntia wɔn.
Ngakho, abafelokazi abasesebatsha ngibacebisa ukuba bende, babelabantwana, baphathe izindlu zabo njalo banganiki isitha ithuba lokuba kube lokuhleba.
15 Akunafoɔ bi de wɔn ho ama ɔbonsam dada.
Abanye bavele sebedukile balandela uSathane.
16 Sɛ ɔbaa ogyidini bi wɔ akunafoɔ wɔ nʼabusua mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhwɛ wɔn yie na wɔamfa adesoa bi ammɛto asafo no so na asafo no atumi ahwɛ akunafoɔ a aka wɔn nko no.
Nxa umuntu okholwayo elabafelokazi emzini wakhe, kumele abasize hatshi ukuyekela besinda ibandla ukuze ibandla lisize abafelokazi abaswela kakhulu.
17 Mpanimfoɔ a wɔhwɛ asafo no so yie no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdwene wɔn ho na wɔde anidie mmɔho ma wɔn; ne titire no wɔn a wɔka asɛm no na wɔsane kyerɛkyerɛ nso.
Abadala abaqhuba kuhle imisebenzi yebandla bafanele ukuhlonitshwa okuphindiweyo ikakhulu labo abasebenza ukutshumayela lokufundisa.
18 Ɛfiri sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Nkyekyere nantwie a ɔsi aburoo no ano!” Bio, “Odwumayɛfoɔ akatua fata no!”
Ngoba umbhalo uthi: “Inkabi ungayifaki isayeke nxa ibhula amabele,” njalo uthi, “Isisebenzi sifanele umholo waso.”
19 Ntie asɛmmɔne a obi ka to ɔpanin bi so no, gye sɛ adansefoɔ baanu anaa baasa de saa asɛm no bɛto wʼanim.
Ungalamukeli icala eletheswa umuntu omdala ngaphandle kokuba limangalwa ngabafakazi ababili loba abathathu.
20 Wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa no, ka wɔn anim badwam na abɔ afoforɔ hu.
Abenza izono kumele bakhuzwe phambi kwabantu ukuze labanye baxwayiseke.
21 Megyina Onyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu ne abɔfoɔ kronkron anim ka sɛ, di saa mmara a mahyɛ wo yi nyinaa so a nhwɛanimu biara nni mu.
Ngiyakulaya phambi kukaNkulunkulu loKhristu uJesu lezingilosi ezikhethiweyo ukuba ugcine iziqondiso lezi kungekho bandlululo njalo ungenzi lutho ngokukhetha.
22 Sɛ ɛhia sɛ wode wo nsa gu obi so wɔ Awurade dwumadie no mu a, mpepere ho. Twe wo ho firi bɔne a ɔfoforɔ yɛ ho na ma wo ho nte.
Ungaphangisi ukubeka izandla emuntwini njalo ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye. Zigcine uhlambulukile.
23 Nnom nsuo nko ara, na mmom, wo yafunu ne wo yadeɛ a wotaa yare enti, ɛyɛ a nom bobesa kakraa bi.
Yekela ukunatha amanzi kuphela kodwa sebenzisa lewayini elincinyane ngenxa yesisu sakho lokuhlala kwakho ugula.
24 Nnipa bi bɔne a wɔyɛ no da adi pefee na saa bɔne no di wɔn anim de wɔn kɔ atemmuo mu, nanso afoforɔ bi wɔ hɔ a wɔn bɔne da adi akyire yi.
Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zifika endaweni yokwahlulela kuqala kulabo; kodwa abanye ezabo izono zilandela ngemva kwabo.
25 Saa ara nso na nneyɛeɛ payɛ no da adi pefee. Na deɛ ɛnna adi pefee no mpo ntumi nhinta.
Ngokufanayo, izenzo ezinhle zisobala njalo lalezo ezingenjalo azingeke zihlale zifihliwe.
