12 Jehowa le, onshimbee, nɛ dia kanga kɔlamelo aya bu;

Anto wele la kɔlamelo wambonyɛma oma l’atei w’anto.

 2 Vɔ mbutanɛka kashi lam’asawɔ;

Vɔ tɛtɛmɔlaka la ɛlɔmɔ* awɔ ndo tɛkɛtaka la etema wa lokeso.*+

 3 Jehowa ayohembola ɛlɔmɔ tshɛ watɛtɛmɔla

Ndo lolemi lele la ofunu+ w’efula,

 4 Wanɛ wata vate: “Tayodja otshumba la nemi yaso.

Sho kambaka la ɛlɔmɔ aso oko walangaso;

Akɔna ayonga nkumɛso?”+

 5 Jehowa kata ate: “L’ɔtɛ wasoyama amɛnyi mfɔnu,

L’ɔtɛ w’osekumelo w’ase wola,+

Dimi layanga monɛɛ dia nsala dui dimɔtshi.

 6 Ɛtɛkɛta wa Jehowa wekɔ pudipudi;+

Vɔ wekɔ oko mfɛsa kambɛdiama lo nkuka ka nkɛtɛ,* kambosolama mbala 7.

 7 Jehowa+ le, wɛ ayowalama;

Wɛ ayokokɛ onto l’onto l’atei awɔ oma lo lɔlɔnga lɔnɛ pondjo pondjo.

 8 Akanga wa kɔlɔ mbetetaka aha la wekamu

Nɛ dia ana w’anto sukɛka lɔkɛwɔ la mindo.+
