Mmɛbusɛm 5

Me ba, yɛ aso ma me nyansa;tie me nhunumu nsɛm no yie,

sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma woahwɛ yie,na wʼano akora nimdeɛ.

Ɛfiri sɛ ɔbaa dwamanfoɔ ano sosɔ ɛwoɔ,na ne kasa kɔ yɛɛ sene ngo;

nanso, awieeɛ no ɛyɛ nwono sene bɔnwoma,ɛyɛ nam sɛ akofena anofanu.

Ne nan kɔ owuo mu;nʼanammɔntutuo kɔ ɛda mu tee.

Ɔnnwene ɛkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa mu ho;nʼakwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye, nanso ɔnnim.

Enti, afei, me mma, montie me;Monntwe mo ho mfiri deɛ meka ho.

Ɛkwan a ɛmmɛn noɔ no na momfa somommmɛn ne fie ɛpono ano,

anyɛ saa a, mode mo ahoɔden bɛma afoforɔna mode mo mfeɛ ama otirimuɔdenfoɔ,

anyɛ saa a, ahɔhoɔ bɛfom mo ahonyadeɛna mobrɛ de ahonya akɔ afoforɔ fie.

Mo nkwanna akyi, mobɛsi apinieɛberɛ a mo honam ne mo onipadua asa no.

Na moaka sɛ, “Na mekyiri ahohyɛsoɔ!Mʼakoma ampɛ ntenesoɔ!

Manyɛ ɔsetie amma mʼakyerɛkyerɛfoɔna mantie mʼakwankyerɛfoɔ asɛm.

Maduru ɔsɛeɛ ntɛntɛnoawɔ asafo no nyinaa mu.”

Nom nsuo firi wʼankasa ankorɛ mu,nsuo a ɛtene firi wʼankasa abura mu.

Ɛsɛ sɛ wo nsutire yiri fa mmɔntene sona wo nsuwa kokɔ ɔman adwaberem anaa?

Ma ɛnyɛ wo nko ara dea,a wone ahɔhoɔ nnkyɛ da.

Nhyira nka wʼasuburana wʼani nka wʼababunuberɛ mu yere ho.

Ɔte sɛ ɔtwe bereɛ dɔfoɔ, ɔwansane animuonyamfoɔ.Ma ne nufoɔ nsɔ wʼani daana ne dɔ nkyekyere wo.

Me ba, adɛn enti na woma ɔbaa dwamanfoɔ kyekyere wo?Adɛn enti na woda ɔbarima foforɔ bi yere kokom?

Awurade hunu onipa akwan nyinaa,na ɔhwehwɛ ne nyinaa mu.

Omumuyɛfoɔ nnebɔne sum no afidie;na ne bɔne nhoma kyekyere no papee.

Ɔbɛwu ɛsiane ahohyɛsoɔ a ɔnni enti,na wayera ɛsiane nʼagyegyentwisɛm enti.
