17 << <Imgbasho gbɛɛ, mi egbe ongwi olɛlɛ,

ani ka kye Onodzi mgbi ani yaokɛ mbi ali inggisɛ duu.

Engwɛ ema engyulɔ yi engyaa kale yegbɔ,

ɛngbɛ mmafa mgbi ema kale di inɛ odiidi,

engyukwo mgbi ema kale woowo elela.

18 Mbi engbidɔ mgbi ani kpaa,

engyulɔ yi engyaa duu,

n ka kye Onodzi mgbi ani yaokɛ

mboma mi egbe ntonani,

man a ka yegbɔ.

19 N ka kyɔ ambɛ okwulewo mi esho

mbyoo bɛyi ungwɔ ama okwulewo mi iteesɛ,

otso gbɛɛ di ani dzɛ yi mfye.

N ka tiika mi ɛsɛ adzi ni inggisɛ ngwɔ ewoma,

ola dika gbimbe sɔ yi iwu.

20 A ka kyata onɔ yɛɛ iyifu,

di kyata ofyia yɛɛ eyi duuse ni egbe oshewo

bɛyi okwɔkwɔ mgbi Otsɛ no ba.

21 Nghanɛ ali inggisɛ nkwu mi iyi mgbi Otsɛ

duu ka tu owatɔ.>
