1 Nyansa asi ne fie; watwa nʼafadum nson ho.
2 Wasiesie nʼaduane afra ne nsã wato ne ɛpono.

5 “Mommra mmɛdi mʼaduane na monnom nsã a mafra no.
6 Monnya mo ntetekwaasɛm no na mobɛnya nkwa; monnante nteaseɛ akwan so.”
7 Deɛ ɔtenetene ɔfɛdifoɔ no frɛ ahohorabɔ; na deɛ ɔka amumuyɛfoɔ anim no nya ɔyea.
