Mmɛbusɛm 9
1 Nyansa asi ne fie; watwa nʼafadum nson ho.
Kuo langa ʻe he poto ʻa hono fale, pea kuo ne tā mai ʻa hono pou ʻe fitu.
2 Wasiesie nʼaduane afra ne nsã wato ne ɛpono.
Kuo ne tāmateʻi ʻene fanga manu; kuo ne huʻi ʻene uaine; kuo ne teuteu foki hono keinangaʻanga.
3 Wasoma ne mmaawa, na ɔfrɛ firi kuropɔn no sorɔnsorɔmmea hɔ sɛ,
Kuo ne fekau atu ʻene kau kaunanga; ʻoku kalanga ia mei he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoe kolo,
4 “Momma ntetekwaafoɔ nyinaa mmra ha!” Ɔka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔnni atemmuo sɛ,
“Ko hai ia ʻoku taʻepoto ke afe mai ia ki heni:” pea ʻoku lea ia, ʻo pehē, kiate ia ʻoku taʻeʻilo,
5 “Mommra mmɛdi mʼaduane na monnom nsã a mafra no.
“Haʻu, ʻo kai ʻi heʻeku mā, ʻo inu ʻi he uaine kuo u huʻi ʻeau.
6 Monnya mo ntetekwaasɛm no na mobɛnya nkwa; monnante nteaseɛ akwan so.”
Liaki ʻae kau vale, ka ke moʻui; pea ke ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe faʻa ʻilo.”
7 Deɛ ɔtenetene ɔfɛdifoɔ no frɛ ahohorabɔ; na deɛ ɔka amumuyɛfoɔ anim no nya ɔyea.
Ko ia ʻoku valoki ki he tangata manuki ʻoku fakamā ai ia: pea ʻoku pani ʻuli ia ʻaia ʻoku ne valokiʻi ʻae tangata angakovi.
8 Ɛno enti, nnka ɔfɛdifoɔ anim na ɔmmɛtane wo; ka onyansafoɔ anim na ɔbɛdɔ wo.
ʻOua naʻa valoki ki he tangata manuki, telia naʻa ne fehiʻa kiate koe: takitalaʻi ʻae tangata poto, pea ʻe ʻofa ai ia kiate koe.
9 Ma onyansafoɔ akwankyerɛ na ɔbɛkɔ so ahunu nyansa; kyerɛkyerɛ ɔteneneeni na ɔde bɛka nʼadesua ho.
ʻAko ki he tangata poto, pea ʻe ʻāsili ai ʻene poto: akonakiʻi ʻae angatonu, pea ʻe tupulekina ai ʻa ʻene ʻilo.
10 Awurade suro yɛ nyansa ahyɛaseɛ Ɔkronkronni no ho nimdeɛ yɛ nteaseɛ.
Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe poto: pea ko e ʻilo ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fakakaukau poto ia.
11 Me mu na wo nna bɛdɔɔso, na wɔde mfeɛ bɛka wo nkwa ho.
He ko e meʻa ʻiate au ʻe fakalahi ho ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻe fakalahi mo e taʻu ʻo hoʻo moʻui.
12 Sɛ woyɛ onyansafoɔ a, wobɛnya wo nyansa ho mfasoɔ; sɛ woyɛ ɔfɛdifoɔ a, wo nko ara na ɛbɛhunu amane.
Kapau ko e poto koe, ʻoku ke poto pe maʻau: ka ke ka taukae, ko koe pe te ke ongoʻi ia.
13 Ɔbaa ɔkwasea yɛ ɔkasafoɔ; ɔnni ahohyɛsoɔ na ɔnni nimdeɛ.
ʻOku faʻa longoaʻa ʻae fefine vale: ʻoku taʻepoto ia, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha meʻa.
14 Ɔte ne fie ɛpono ano, na ɔte akonnwa a ɛsi kuropɔn no sorɔnsorɔmmea,
He ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale, ʻi he hekaʻanga ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoe kolo,
15 na ɔfrɛfrɛ wɔn a wɔtwam hɔ, wɔn a wɔnam wɔn kwan so tee sɛ,
Ke ui ki he kakai fononga, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻalu totonu atu ʻi honau hala:
16 “Momma ntetekwaafoɔ nyinaa mmra ha” ɔka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔnni atemmuo sɛ,
“Ko hai ia ʻoku taʻepoto, ke afe mai ia ki heni:” pea ʻoku ne lea, ʻo pehē kiate ia, ʻoku taʻeʻilo,
17 “Nsuo a wɔwia no yɛ fremfrem na aduane a wɔdi no ahintaeɛ no yɛ dɛ!”
“ko e vai ʻoku kaihaʻasi ʻoku melie ia, pea ʻoku ifoifo lelei ʻae mā ʻoku kai fakafufū.”
