1 Ndi ta yi aner abɛ na ndum kɛ Arik ta ben zhin kǝr zhin bǝ ta itazhɔk iye Arik isha ba. 2 Wɔ ki ndi Arik adi:

<<Mkpaŋ tǝ nyɛ ndi ntei tsar zhin lɔ susun muŋ, Mnǝ wɔ zhin;

Iber ta zhɔk Mne lɔk zhin ne.>>

Ndi berɛ tǝ nyem tǝm zuk zhin shur, Mnǝ nzɔk zhin.>> Wɔ! waŋa ayi mkpaŋ kǝ ta lɔ susun iye Arik; aliŋ ayi berɛ tǝ ubǝ yik itazhɔk!

3 Bata ne yii nuŋ mkpaŋ yi tar za ba, te duŋ ndum mɔr batei yi kɛ sha ba. 4 Neme, ndi ta yi agɛn abɛ Arik te sak atu mɔr ne kɔte ankɔŋ atawa: ne vuŋ kpa gli ŋgɔŋ; ne yik iya, bǝn sak ta iya; 5 tanǝ yik ki mimin, bǝn itsik, ikur nǝ jaru bǝn tsik mgbu; ne na ndum kɛ iya, iyaŋ kurna bǝn ikasa; 6 ne sɔŋ yi tsetser, izhi, vuŋ susun bǝn ina didik; ne Izhu Tsetser ben nyɛr akpa didik; 7 ne bla ilɛ didik ne mgbyamgbyaŋ kɛ Arik; bǝn gli itanyɛmɛ mɔr ndi iki tyak ikum iyi tsetser ne ŋɔk li ben ŋɔk mla. 8 Nɛ nǝkta ngɔŋ tɛna pwar ta; nɛ yen ta tɛna gbar ta. Nɛ naa ta ndi aner abǝ ti mu, ama ta ye abǝ bla zub; 9 ne zhi ta ama ana ndi ba ne zhi ta ba; tayi ndi ta ni ku, ama ta yi atsitsir; ne tsik ta ama bane aŋlɔk ta ba; 10 ne miŋ kɛ lɔ susun, ama ta nyɛr; abɛ yaŋ iki, ama ta duŋ anuŋ ayi ne adudunki; bata yine ikinuŋ ba, ta yine kɔte nii.

11 Ta ne lɛ ne zhɔk susun bene be zhin, aner abɛ kɔrɔntiya, te bu zhin asusun amɔr. 12 Bata ne kyak ta zhin ne asusun amɔr ba, ayi zhineba ne kyak ta tama. 13 Mli ben abɛ zhin ndi amun muŋ, zhɔk zhin susun ben abɛta.

14 Kǝr zhin bǝ biŋ atu bǝn abɛ yaŋ zhi Arik ba. Aye anii ne biŋ sɔŋ kɛ yi tsetser bǝn sɔŋ mimin? Aye anii nǝ na biŋ laŋ amkpa ben ibu? 15 Ayi isɔŋ didik takɛ ne biŋ Kristi bǝn Ishetan? Aye anii ne biŋ ne zǝ Arik bǝn nǝ yaŋ zǝ Arik? 16 Aye anii ne biŋ akabaŋkɔŋ ayou Arik ben bur anerim? Tǝ taba yi akabaŋkɔŋ ayou Arik tsitsir! Ndi Arik nǝ tu maa adi, <<M tei na kɔmuŋ bǝn aner amuŋ tǝ nsɔŋ nǝ miŋ men; M tei yi Arik amen, aba atei na yi aneshir amuŋ.>> 17 Neme Ŋgɔŋ adi, <<Izhin bǝ duŋ ba tǝ na ŋar akpamin nǝ miŋ mǝne.

Kǝr zhin bǝ na kinuŋ ndi ba yi tsetser ba, fe Ngam tei nta zhin.>>

18 <<M tei yi Tetɛɛ bǝn abɛ zhin,

Izhineba ba tei yi amumune amuŋ,

Arik Ŋgɔŋ wa ne di.>>
