4 Na hwɛ, wo a woyɛ m’asene mu aduaba, na me yɛ Yosef aseni a wɔsoaa no kɔɔ nnɔmum mu wɔ Misraim no. Na apam kɛseɛ na Awurade ne Yosef faaɛ.

5 Ɛno nti, Yosef hunu yɛn nna ampa. Na ɔnyaa bɔhyɛ firii Awurade hɔ sɛ aduaba a ɛfiri n’asene mu, na Awurade Nyankopɔn bɛma Israel fiefoɔ tenenee mman; nnyɛ Mesaia no, mmom mman a ɛsɛ sɛ Awurade bu, nanso, wɔbɛkae no wɔ Awurade apam mu sɛ ɛwɔ sɛ wɔyi Mesaia no kyerɛ wɔn wɔ nna a aka akyire no mu, ɛwɔ honhom no tumi mu, kɔsi sɛ ɔde wɔn bɛfiri esum mu bɛba ɛhan mu—aane, firi esum a ahinta ne nnɔmum mu aba fawohodie mu.

6 Na Yosef dii adanseɛ ampa ara, kaa sɛ: Adehununi bi na Awurade me Nyankopɔn bɛyi no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ adehunufoɔ a wɔayi no ama m’asene mu aduaba.

12 Ɛno nti, w’asene mu aduaba no bɛtwerɛ; ɛna Yuda asene mu aduaba bɛtwerɛ; ɛna deɛ aduaba a ɛfiri w’asene mu bɛtwerɛ, ne aduaba a ɛfiri Yuda asene mu bɛtwerɛ no, bɛbɔ mu anyini de ama atorɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ no ayɛ dinn, ada hɔ na wɔabrɛ apereapereɛ ase, na ɛde asomdwoeɛ aba aduaba a ɛfiri w’asene mu no, ɛna ɔde wɔn agyanom nimdeɛ abrɛ wɔn wɔ nna a edi akyire no mu, na wada m’apam no nso adi akyerɛ wɔn, Awurade na ɔseɛ.

13 Na mmrɛyɛ mu na wɔbɛhyɛ no den, saa da no mu na m’adwuma bɛhyɛ aseɛ wɔ mo nkurɔfoɔ nyina ara mu, de akanyan mo, O Israel fiefoɔ, Awurade na ɔseɛ.

14 Na saa na Yosef hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ: Hwɛ, Awurade bɛhyira saa adehununi yi, na wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ n’ahweaseɛ no anim bɛgu ase; na saa bɔhyɛ yi a manya afiri Awurade hɔ a ɛyɛ m’asene mu aduaba no bɛba mu. Hwɛ, mewɔ awerɛhyɛm sɛ saa bɔhyɛ yi bɛba mu.
