3 Ɔde dwom foforɔ hyɛɛ mʼanom, ayɛyi dwom a yɛde ma yɛn Onyankopɔn. Bebree bɛhunu na wɔasuro na wɔde wɔn werɛ ahyɛ Awurade mu.

4 Nhyira ne onipa a ɔde Awurade yɛ nʼahotɔsoɔ, deɛ ɔmfa nʼani nto ahomasoɔ so, ne wɔn a wɔmane di anyame huhuo akyi.

5 Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn woayɛ anwanwadeɛ bebree. Nneɛma a wohyehyɛ maa yɛn no obiara ntumi nka ne nyinaa nkyerɛ wo; sɛ meka sɛ mereka ne nyinaa ho asɛm a ɛbɛdɔɔso dodo.

6 Wompɛ afɔrebɔ ne ayɛyɛdeɛ, woabue mʼaso ama mahunu; woampɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne bɔne afɔdeɛ.

7 Na mekaa sɛ “Mewɔ ha, merebɛyɛ deɛ wopɛ sɛ meyɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ afa me ho wɔ Mmara nwoma no mu no.

8 Ao me Onyankopɔn, mepɛ sɛ meyɛ wʼapɛdeɛ; mede wo mmara ahyɛ mʼakoma mu.”

9 Meka wo tenenee ho asɛm wɔ dwabɔ kɛseɛ ase; meremmua mʼano, Ao Awurade, sɛdeɛ wonim no.
