Me honhom atɔ beraw,me nna so atwa,na ɔda retwɛn me.

Ampa ara fɛwdifo atwa me ho ahyia;ɛsɛ sɛ mehwɛ wɔn atutuwpɛ.

“Ao Onyankopɔn, hyɛ me bɔ a wuhia.Hena bio na ɔbɛma me bammɔ?

Wɔato wɔn adwene mu a wɔnte asɛm ase;enti woremma wonni nkonim.

Sɛ obi sopa ne nnamfonom de gye akatua a,ɛbɛhwere ne mma aniwa.

“Onyankopɔn de me ayɛ asɛm a ɛda obiara ano,obi a wɔte ntasu gu nʼani so.

Awerɛhow ama mʼani ayɛ siamoome nipadua nyinaa yɛ sunsuma.

Ɛyɛ atreneefo nwonwa;wɔn a wodi bem tia wɔn a wonni nyamesu.

Nanso atreneefo bɛkɔ wɔn anim,na wɔn a wɔn nsa ho tew no bɛkɔ so anya ahoɔden.

“Mo nyinaa monsan mmra mmɛsɔ nhwɛ!Na merennya onyansafo wɔ mo mu.

Ebesian akɔ owu pon ano ana?Yɛn nyinaa besian akɔ mfutuma mu ana?”
