Nimdeɛ
1 Din pa yɛ sen aduhuam papa,

2 Eye sɛ obi bɛkɔ ayi ase

3 Awerɛhow ye sen ɔserew,
efisɛ anim a ayɛ mmɔbɔmmɔbɔ de koma mu nsiesie pa ba.
4 Onyansafo koma wɔ ayi ase,
nanso nkwaseafo koma wɔ ahosɛpɛwfo fi.
5 Eye sɛ wobetie onyansafo animka
sen sɛ wobetie nkwaseafo dwom.
6 Sɛnea nsɔe turuturuw wɔ ɔsɛn ase no
saa ara na nkwaseafo serew te.
Eyi nso yɛ ahuhude.
7 Asisi ma onyansafo dan ɔkwasea,

8 Asɛm awiei ye sen ne mfiase,
na ntoboase ye sen ahantan.
9 Mma wo koma nsɔre ntɛmntɛm,
na abufuw da nkwaseafo srɛ so.
10 Nka se, “Adɛn nti na tete nna no ye sen nnɛ mmere yi?”
Onyansafo mmisa nsɛm sɛɛ.
11 Nimdeɛ, ɛyɛ ade pa sɛ agyapade ara pɛ,

12 Sɛnea nimdeɛ yɛ bammɔ no,
saa ara na sika nso te;
nanso nhumu ho ade a eye ne sɛ:

13 Dwene nea Onyankopɔn ayɛ ho:
Hena na obetumi ateɛ
nea wɔama akyea?
14 Mmere pa mu, ma wʼani nnye;
nanso mmere bɔne mu, hu sɛ
Onyankopɔn na wayɛ ne nyinaa.
Ɛno nti onipa rentumi nhu

15 Me nkwanna a ɛyɛ ahuhude yi mu, mahu nneɛma abien:
Ɔtreneeni a owu wɔ ne trenee mu,

16 Nyɛ wo ho ɔtreneeni ntra so,

17 Nyɛ omumɔyɛfo ntra so,

18 Eye sɛ wubeso baako no mu den

Onipa a osuro Onyankopɔn no besiw nneyɛe mmoroso nyinaa ano.
19 Nimdeɛ ma onyansafo baako tumi bebree

20 Onipa treneeni biara nni asase so a

21 Mfa nea nnipa ka nyinaa nyɛ asɛm,

23 Mede nimdeɛ asɔ eyinom nyinaa ahwɛ, na mekae se,
“Masi mʼadwene pi sɛ mɛyɛ onyansafo”
nanso na eyi boro me so.
24 Sɛnea nimdeɛ te biara,

25 Afei meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ mɛte ase,

26 Mahu nea ɛyɛ nwene sen owu;
ɔbea a ɔyɛ afiri;

na ne nsa yɛ mpokyerɛ.
Onipa a ɔsɔ Onyankopɔn ani no renkɔ ne ho
nanso ɔbɔnefo de ɔbɛtɔ nʼafiri mu.
27 Ɔsɛnkafo no se, “Hwɛ eyi ne nea mahwehwɛ ahu:
“Mekekaa nneɛma bobɔɔ so pɛɛ sɛ mihu sɛnea nneɛma nhyehyɛe te,

nanso manhu ɔbea treneeni biara wɔ wɔn mu.
29 Eyi nko ara na mahu:
