6 “Nanso na aka ɔbaako a ɔyɛ ne ba a ɔdɔ no. Ɔsomaa ɔno nso kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, susuw sɛ wɔbɛfɛre no de nidi ama no.
7 “Nanso bere a akuafo no huu no sɛ ɔreba no, wɔkae se, ‘Ɔdedifo no na ɔreba no. Momma yenkum no, na agyapade no ayɛ yɛn de!’ 8 Wɔkyeree no kum no, twee no fii bobe turo mu hɔ kɔtow no kyenee baabi.
9 “Mugye di sɛ, sɛ afuw wura no ba a dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ akuafo no? Ɔbɛba abekum wɔn, na ɔde afuw no ama nnipa foforo. 10 Monnkenkan eyi wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu pɛn se:

12 Na esiane saa bɛ a obui no nti, Yudafo mpanyin no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, efisɛ wuhuu sɛ wɔn ho asɛm na ɔreka no a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔne saa akuafo atirimɔdenfo no. Nanso na wosuro dɔm no. Eyi ma wogyaa no, na wofii hɔ kɔe.

Ne mmuae no maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
