Enuanom na nkyerɛbaa, megye dase dɛ Nyankopɔn tse mpaabɔ biara a yɛbɔ na Obua no mu kor biara dɛ mbrɛ kwan a wɔakyerɛ ama hɛn emudziyɛ tse.

Oye, maba ebohu dɛ Ɔno so, nye hɛn, pɛɛ dɛ “ɔbɔhwehwɛ [Egya no] n’enyim, gye n’asɛm dzi, na ɔtwer n’adom.” Ofi ber to ber no, Ɔtwee Noho fii nkorɔfo nkyɛn ma ɔka No nko ana Ɔdze ne mpaabɔ ehwira ɔsor.
