Merennye nto mu da sɛ nea woka no yɛ nokware;merenka me mudi nhyɛ, kosi sɛ mewu.

Mekura me trenee mu, merennyaa mu;sɛ mete ase yi, me tiboa remmu me fɔ.

“Ma mʼatamfo nyɛ sɛ amumɔyɛfo,na wɔn a wokyi me nyɛ sɛ atorofo.

Anidaso bɛn na wɔn a wonni nyamesu no wɔ wɔ wɔn wu akyi,bere a Onyankopɔn agye wɔn nkwa afi wɔn nsam no?

So Onyankopɔn tie wɔn sufrɛbere a amanehunu aba wɔn so no ana?

“Mɛma mo Onyankopɔn tumi ho nkyerɛkyerɛ;meremfa Otumfo no akwan nhintaw.

“Eyi ne nea Onyankopɔn ahyɛ ato hɔ ama omumɔyɛfo,agyapade a otirimɔdenfo nya fi Otumfo no nkyɛn:

Sɛ ɔwɔ mma dodow dɛn ara, wɔn nkrabea ne afoa;na nʼasefo rennidi mmee da.

Ɔyaredɔm besie wɔn a wɔbɛka wɔ nʼakyi,na wɔn akunafo rensu wɔn.

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ɔhɔre dwetɛ te sɛ mfutumana ɔboa ntama ano sɛ dɔte,
