(2 Mose 32.11-14,30-34; 4 Mose 14.13-23; 5 Mose 9.18-20,25-29; 1 Sam 7.5-9; 12.19-25; Nnw 99.6-8). bɛgyinaa mʼanim a, mʼakoma rentɔ nkɔ saa nnipa yi so. Ma wɔmfiri mʼani so! Ma wɔnkɔ! 2 Na sɛ wɔbisa wo sɛ, ‘Ɛhe na yɛnkorɔ’ a, ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sei na Awurade seɛ:
“ ‘Wɔn a wɔahyɛ owuo ama wɔn no bɛkɔ owuom;

wɔn a wɔahyɛ ɛkɔm ama wɔn no, ɛkɔm bɛde wɔn;
wɔn a wɔahyɛ nnommumfa ama wɔn no bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu.’
3 “Mede adesɛefoɔ ahodoɔ ɛnan bɛba wɔn so,” Awurade na ɔseɛ: “akofena a ɛbɛkum wɔn, nkraman a ɛbɛtwe wɔn ase akɔ, ewiem nnomaa ne asase so mmoa a wɔbɛtete wɔn nam asɛe wɔn. 4 Mɛma wɔn ayɛ akyiwadeɛ ama asase so ahennie nyinaa ɛsiane deɛ Yudahene Hesekia babarima Manase yɛɛ wɔ Yerusalem enti.
5 “Hwan na ɔbɛhunu wo mmɔbɔ, Ao Yerusalem?

Hwan na ɔbɛgyina abisa sɛdeɛ wo ho teɛ?
6 Woapo me,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
“Wogu akyirisane so ara.
Ɛno enti mɛtene me nsa wɔ wo so na masɛe wo.
Me yam renhyehye me mma wo bio.
7 Mede huhusoɔ apaawa bɛhuhu wɔn so

Awurade na ɔseɛ.
10 Ao, me maame a wowoo me,

Asase sofoɔ nyinaa ne me ham, di apereapereɛ!
Memfɛm obi adeɛ, na memmɔɔ obi hɔ bosea,

11 Awurade kaa sɛ,
“Nokorɛm mɛgye wo ama botaeɛ pa bi;
ampa ara mɛma wʼatamfoɔ apa wo kyɛw
wɔ amanehunu ne ahohia mmerɛ mu.
12 “Onipa bɛtumi abu dadeɛ mu

13 “Mede mo ahodeɛ ne mo akoradeɛ

15 Wote aseɛ, Ao Awurade;

Tɔ wɔn a wɔtaa me so awere.
Wowɔ abodwokyerɛ, mma me nwu;

16 Wo nsɛm baeɛ no, mediiɛ;

Ao, Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn.
17 Mantena wɔn a wɔgye wɔn ani fekuo mu.

19 Enti sei na Awurade seɛ,
“Sɛ wosakyera wʼadwene a, mɛgye wo ato mu bio

Ma saa nnipa yi nnane mmra wo nkyɛn,

20 Mede wo bɛyɛ ɔfasuo ama saa nnipa yi,

Awurade, na ɔseɛ.
21 “Mɛgye wo nkwa afiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsam
na mayi wo afiri atirimuɔdenfoɔ nsam.”
