1 Ewuradze kasaa kyerɛɛ Joseph Smith, Kakraba see dɛ: Tsie me, Ewuradze wo Nyankopɔn no na ɔse, hom a wɔahyɛ hom asɔfodzi a ɔkrɔn wɔ m’asɔr mu, na hom akã homho aboa ano;
2 Na hom ntsie afotu a ofi nyia ofi sor ahyɛ hom asɔfo no, ɔno na ɔbɛkã enyansasɛm egu hom asomu, dɛ nkwagye nyɛ hom dze wɔ dza homdze abɔto m’enyim yi ho, Ewuradze Nyankopɔn na ɔse.
3 Na nokwar, mese hom dɛ, mber no edu, na ɔabɛn; na hwɛ, na hu dɛ, ohia dɛ wɔyɛ nhyehyɛɛ bi wɔ mo nkorɔfo mu a wɔnam do bɔhwɛ esiesie m’adzekorabea, dɛ mbrɛ ɔbɛyɛ a wobotum dze no mu ndzɛmba no ahwɛ ehiafo a wɔwɔ mo nkorɔfo mu, nye hɔn so a wɔwɔ Zion asaase do—
4 Ama ɔayɛ nhyehyɛɛ bi a obetsim na ɔwɔ hɔ daapem ama m’asɔr dze aboa dza hom dze esi hom enyi do ho no, dze ama nyimpa no nkwagye, nye hom Egya a ɔwɔ sor n’enyimnyam;
5 Ama hom nye sor ndzɛmba aabɔ mu ayɛ pɛr wɔ sor ahyɛmudze ho, nyew, nye asaase ndzɛmba so, ama hom eenya sor ndzɛmba.
6 Osiandɛ sɛ hom annyɛ kor wɔ asaase ndzɛmba ho a, hom nnkotum ayɛ kor dze enya sor ndzɛmba;
7 Na sɛ hom pɛ dɛ mema hom tsenabew wɔ celestial wiadze no mu a, ɔwɔ dɛ hom yɛ ndzɛmba a mahyɛ hom no, nye dza morohwehwɛ efi hom hɔ no, dze siesie hom ho.
8 Na afei, nokwar dɛm na Ewuradze se, ohia dɛ hom a hom akã hom ho abɔmu wɔ dɛm nhyehyɛɛ yi mu no yɛ ndzɛmba nyina dze ma m’enyimnyam;
9 Mekyerɛ dɛ, ma m’akowaa Newel K. Whitney, nye m’akowaa Joseph Smith, Kakraba nye m’akowaa Sidney Rigdon, nye ahotseweefo a wɔwɔ Zion no ntsena ase mbɔ ngua;
10 Annyɛ dɛm a Satan bɛper dɛ ɔbɛdan hɔn akoma efi nokwar no ho, ma wɔabɛyɛ efurafo, amma wɔaanntse ndzɛmba a woesiesie ama hɔn no ase.
11 Dɛm ntsi, mehyɛ hom dɛ, hom nhyɛ ase nsiesie homho na hom nyɛ nhyehyɛɛ a ɔbɛkã hom abɔ mu anaadɛ ahyɛmu a ɔwɔ hɔ daapem a no mu nnkɛtsetsew da.
12 Na nyia obobu do no bɛyew ne dzibew na ne gyinabew wɔ asɔr no mu, na wobegyaa no ahyɛ Satan n’ekutukubɔ nsa ekesi dɛ ɔpon da no bɔsõ.
13 Hwɛ, iyi nye nsiesie a medze risiesie hom nye fapem na esusudze a medze rema hom, ama hom eedua do dze edzi mbrasɛm a wɔdze ama hom no do;
14 Na ɔnam m’adom ntsi, abɛbrɛsɛ biara a ɔbɛba hom do no, asɔr no nko etum egyina, na ɔabor abɔdze nkaa nyinara a ɔwɔ celestial wiadze n’ase no do;
15 Ama hom aaba sor abɛfa ahenkyɛw a woeesiesie ama hom no, na wɔaayɛ hom ahenman pii do ahwɛdofo, Ewuradze Nyankopɔn, Zion Krɔnkrɔnnyi Kor no, nyia ɔtoow Adam-ondi-Ahman fapem no na ɔse;
16 Ɔno na oyii Michael, hom henba no, na otsintsiim n’anan, na ɔkrɔɔn no, na wɔnam Krɔnkrɔnnyi kor no a ne nda nnyi ahyɛse, anaa ne nkwa onnyi ewiei no n’apam do dze nkwagye nsaafee no ama no.
17 Nokwar, nokwar, mese hom dɛ, hom yɛ mbofra nkakraba, na hom nnyae nntsee nhyira akɛse a ɔwɔ Egya ne nsamu a oesiesie ama hom no ase;
18 Na hom nnkotum agye ndzɛmba nyina sesei; naaso, hom enyi ngye, osiandɛ mibedzi hom kan. Ahenman no yɛ homdze, na nhyira a ɔwɔ hɔ no yɛ homdze, na mbersantsen ahonyadze so yɛ homdze.
19 Na nyia ɔnam ndaase mu bɛgye ndzɛmba nyina no, wɔbɛhyɛ no enyimnyam; na wɔdze wiadze yi mu ndzɛmba bɛkã no ho, ɔha na no mbɔho mpo, nyew, mbordo.
20 Dɛm ntsi, hom nyɛ ndzɛmba a mahyɛ hom no, hom Pomfo no na ɔse, Ahman Ba no mpo, nyia osiesie ndzɛmba nyina ansaana ɔafa hom no;
21 Na hom nye Abakamba n’asɔr no, na ɔbɛfa hom akɔ sor wɔ nsuwisuw mu, na ɔdze nyimpa biara ne kyɛfa ama no.
22 Na ɔhwɛfo nokwafo na nyansafo no benya ndzɛmba nyinara. Amen.
