22 Munntie asɛm no sɛ atiefo kwa, na mmom monyɛ asɛm no yɛfo. 23 Obiara a otie asɛm no na ɔmfa nni dwuma no te sɛ obi a ɔhwɛ ahwehwɛ mu na ohu sɛnea ɔte. 24 Ɔhwɛ ne ho wɔ ahwehwɛ no mu yiye na sɛ ofi ahwehwɛ no anim ara pɛ a, ne werɛ fi nea ohui no nyinaa. 25 Nanso obiara a ɔhwɛ mmara pa a wɔahyɛ a ɛma onipa de ne ho, na odi so, na otie, na ne werɛ mfi, na ɔde di dwuma no, Onyankopɔn behyira saa onipa no wɔ biribiara a ɔyɛ mu.
