Bere a yɛn Agya gyee Dawid fii nʼatamfo nyinaa nsam ne Saul nsam no, Dawid kaa dwom yi mu nsɛm kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya. Ɔkae se: MʼAgya ne me botan, mʼabandennen ne me gyefo. MʼAgya, me botan a meguan kɔhintaw ne mu, me kyɛm ne me nkwagye tumi, mʼaban ne me guankɔbea, me Agyenkwa—wo na wogye me fi basabasayɛ mu. Mefrɛ mʼAgya a ɔfata ayeyi no, na ɔgye me fi mʼatamfo nsam. Efisɛ owu asorɔkye bunkam me so; ɔsɛe nsuworo bɔɔ me hu. Damoa ahama kyekyeree me; owu mfiri hyiaa me. Me hiahia mu no, mefrɛɛ mʼAgya; mesu frɛɛ me Nyankopɔn sɛ ɔmmoa me. Ɔtee me nne fii nʼasɔredan mu, na me sufrɛ duu nʼasom. Afei asase wosowee na ɛpopoe; ɔsoro fapem wosowee na ɛhinhim, efisɛ ne bo fuwii. Wusiw puee fii ne hwene mu, na ogya a ɛhyew ade fii nʼanom; ogyabiri a ɛredɛw tew fii ne mu. Ɔpaee ɔsoro mu na osian baa fam, a omununkum tumm wɔ ne nan ase. Ɔtenaa kerub bi so tuu; ɔtu kɔɔ soro wɔ mframa ntaban so. Ɔde sum yɛɛ ne kataso twaa ne ho hyiae—osu mununkum tumm a ɛwɔ wim no. Ogyabiri dɛw fii hann a ɛwɔ nʼanim no mu. MʼAgya bɔɔ aprannaa fii ɔsoro; Ɔsorosoroni no maa ne nne so. Ɔtoo nʼagyan bɔɔ nʼatamfo hwetee, ɔde anyinam bɔɔ wɔn ma wɔdwanee. Ɛpo ase akwan puee, wiase fapem daa adi wɔ mʼAgya animka mu, wɔ ne hwene mu ahome a ɛbɔɔ no mu. Ɔteɛɛ ne nsa fii soro sɔɔ me mu; ɔtwee me fii nsu a emu dɔ mu. Ɔgyee me fii me tamfo a ɔyɛ den no nsam, ne mʼatamfo a wɔn ahoɔden boro me so no nsam. Wɔbɔɔ me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da no, nanso mʼAgya yɛɛ me nnyinaso. Ɔde me baa baabi a ɛtrɛw; ɔgyee me, efisɛ nʼani gyee me ho. MʼAgya ne me dii sɛnea me trenee te; sɛnea me nsa ho tew no, saa na ɔtuaa me ka. Efisɛ madi mʼAgya akwan so; mamfa amumɔyɛ ntwe me ho mfi me Nyankopɔn ho. Nʼatemmu nyinaa wɔ mʼanim; mantwe me ho amfi nʼahyɛde ho. Mʼabrabɔ ho anni dɛm wɔ nʼanim, na mekoraa me ho fii me fɔdi ho. Enti mʼAgya tuaa me ka sɛnea me trenee te, sɛnea me ho tew wɔ nʼani so. Anokwafo no, woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafo; wɔn a wɔn ho nni dɛm no, woda wo ho adi sɛ nea wo ho nni dɛm. Wɔn a wɔn ho tew no, woda wo ho adi sɛ nea wo ho tew, nanso wɔn a wɔn akwan akyea no, woda nyansa adi kyerɛ wɔn. Wugye nnipa a wɔrehu amane no, nanso wʼani wɔ ahantanfo so sɛ wobɛbrɛ wɔn ase. Efisɛ wo ne me kanea, mʼAgya; ɔdan me sum ma ɛyɛ hann. Wo mmoa so, metumi to hyɛ asraafo dɔm so; mʼAgya mmoa so, metumi huruw fa ɔfasu so. MʼAgya de, ne kwan yɛ pɛ; mʼAgya asɛm nni dɛm. Ɔyɛ kyɛm ma wɔn nyinaa a wɔguan kɔ ne mu no. Efisɛ hena ne Onyankopɔn, gye yɛn Agya? Na hena ne botan, gye yɛn Agya? MʼAgya ne me guankɔbea a ɛyɛ den; ɔma me kwan ho nni dɛm. Ɔma me nan te sɛ ɔforote nan, na ɔma mesi pintinn wɔ mmepɔ so. Ɔtete me nsa ma ɔko, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a me basa betumi akuntun kɔbere tadua. Wode wo nkwagye kyɛm ama me, na wo brɛase ama mayɛ kɛse. Wotrɛw kwan no mu wɔ mʼase, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a me nantu rentoto. Metaa mʼatamfo sɛee wɔn; mansan mʼakyi kosii sɛ wɔsɛee pasaa. Mesɛee wɔn pasaa, mebubuu wɔn ma wɔantumi ansɔre; wɔhwehwee ase wɔ me nan ase. Wode ahoɔden hyɛɛ me ma ɔko; womaa mʼatamfo kotow wɔ mʼase. Womaa mʼatamfo dan wɔn akyi guanee, na wɔn a wɔtan me no, mesɛee wɔn. Wɔhwehwɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara anni hɔ a obegye wɔn—wɔsu frɛɛ mʼAgya mpo, nanso wannye wɔn so. Mewɔɔ wɔn mu muhumuhu sɛ asase so mfutuma; mepɛtɛɛ wɔn, metiatiaa wɔn so sɛ abɔntenmu dɔte. Wogyee me fii me nkurɔfo akasakasa mu; wode me sii aman so ti; ɔman bi a mennim wɔn no som me seesei. Ananafo bɔ wɔn mu ase wɔ mʼanim; sɛ wɔte me ho asɛm ara pɛ a, wotie me. Ananafo abam bu; wɔde ahopopo fi wɔn abandennen mu ba. MʼAgya te ase! Nhyira nka me Botan! Wɔmma mʼAgya, me nkwagye Botan no, so! MʼAgya na ɔma minya atɛntrenee na ɔbrɛ aman ase de wɔn hyɛ mʼase. Ɔyi me fi mʼatamfo nsam. Wopagyaa me korɔn sen mʼatamfo; wogyee me fii ɔbasabasayɛfo nsam. Enti mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu, mʼAgya; mɛto ayeyi nnwom ama wo din. Ɔma ne hene nya nkonim akɛse, na ɔda apam adɔe adi kyerɛ nea wasra no no, Dawid ne nʼasefo daa.
