4 Ɔko ne akasakasa a asi mo mu yi fi he? Efi mo ara mo akɔnnɔ a ɛne mo nipadua di asi no. 2 Morepɛ nneɛma bi nanso morentumi nnya, ɛno nti moayɛ mo adwene sɛ mubedi awu. Mo ani abere denneenen repɛ nneɛma bi nanso mo nsa nka, enti akasakasa ne ɔko nam so ba. Nea morehwehwɛ no, mo nsa renka efisɛ, mummisa Onyankopɔn. 3 Na sɛ mubisa koraa nso a, mo nsa renka, efisɛ, mowɔ adwemmɔne. Mubisa nneɛma a ɛyɛ mo akɔnnɔde.
4 Nnipa a munni gyidi! Munnim sɛ, sɛ mofa wiase adamfo a, na moyɛ Onyankopɔn atamfo? Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wiase adamfo no dan Onyankopɔn tamfo. 5 Mususuw sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, “Ninkunutwe ahyɛ honhom a Onyankopɔn de ahyɛ yɛn mu no ma” no wɔkaa no kwa? 6 Nanso adom a Onyankopɔn dom yɛn no dɔɔso yiye.

11 Me nuanom, munnnidi mo ho nseku. Obiara a odi ne nua ho nseku anaa obu ne nua atɛn no, di Mmara no ho nseku. Na sɛ wubu Mmara no atɛn a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, afei de wunni Mmara no so na mmom wubu no atɛn. 12 Onyankopɔn nko na ɔma mmara na obu atɛn. Ɔno nko na ogye nkwa na ɔsɛe. Wone hena a wubu wo yɔnko atɛn?
Ahohoahoa ne kɔkɔbɔ
13 Mo a moka se, “Ɛnnɛ anaa ɔkyena yebetu kwan akɔ kurow bi so akodi afe akɔyɛ adwuma apɛ sika” no, muntie me. 14 Munnim nea ɛbɛto mo ɔkyena: Mote sɛ huruhuro a ɛba mmere tiaa bi na ayera. 15 Asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ moka ne sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade pɛ a, yɛbɛyɛ eyi anaa eyi.” 16 Nanso mprempren mohoahoa mo ho de mo nsa si mo bo; saa ahohoahoa no nyinaa yɛ bɔne.
