13 “‘W’ahohwibra nti na wo ho guu fĩ.+ Meyɛe sɛ mɛma wo ho atew, nanso wo ho antew amfi wo bra fĩ* no ho.

18 Mekasa kyerɛɛ ɔman no anɔpa, na me yere wui anwummere. Bere a ade kyee anɔpa no, midii ahyɛde a wɔde maa me no nyinaa so. 19 Ɛnna ɔman no bisaa me sɛ: “Nea woreyɛ yi, sɛ ɛfa yɛn ho a, adɛn nti na wonka nkyerɛ yɛn?” 20 Na mibuaa wɔn sɛ: “Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, 21 ‘Ka kyerɛ Israel fi sɛ: “Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka ni, ‘Me tenabea kronkron a mode hoahoa mo ho denneennen no, nea mo ani gye ho a ɛda mo koma so* no, merebegu ho fĩ.+ Mo mma mmarima ne mo mma mmea a mugyaw wɔn akyi no, wɔde sekan bekunkum wɔn.+ 22 Na mobɛyɛ sɛnea mayɛ yi ara.
