Nnwom 1

1 Nhyira ne onipa a ɔntie amumuyɛfoɔ afotuo na ɔnni nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nhwɛsoɔ akyi na ɔntena fɛdifoɔ tenabea.

Ubusisiwe umuntu ongahambi ngeseluleko sababi, ongemi endleleni yezoni, ongahlali esihlalweni sabagconayo;

2 Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na ɔdwene ho awia ne anadwo.

kodwa intokozo yakhe isemlayweni weNkosi, uzindla ngomlayo wayo emini lebusuku.

3 Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛ wɔ asutene ho, na ɛso nʼaba ne berɛ mu a nʼahahan no nnwan. Deɛ ɔyɛ biara yɛ yie.

Njalo uzakuba njengesihlahla esihlanyelwe emifuleni yamanzi, esithela isithelo saso ngesikhathi saso, ohlamvu laso kaliyikubuna; lakho konke akwenzayo kuzaphumelela.

4 Nanso nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ guo.

Ababi kabanjalo, kodwa banjengamakhoba umoya owaphephulayo.

5 Enti amumuyɛfoɔ rentumi nnyina atemmuo no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso rentena teneneefoɔ asafo mu.

Ngakho ababi kabayikuma ekwahlulelweni, lezoni enhlanganweni yabalungileyo.

6 Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔteneneeni kwan nanso amumuyɛfoɔ kwan deɛ, ɛbɛyera.

Ngoba iNkosi iyayazi indlela yabalungileyo, kodwa indlela yababi izabhubha.
