Solomon Dwom

 2 “Ma no mfa n’ano mfeano mmɛfe m’ano,

Na wo dɔ yɛ dɛ sene nsã.*+

 5 O Yerusalem mma mmaa, meyɛ ɔbaa tuntum, nanso me ho yɛ fɛ,

Mete sɛ Kedar+ ntomadan ne Solomon ntomadan.+

 6 Monnhwɛ me hãã, ɛsiane sɛ mebiri nti,

Ɛsiane sɛ awia ahye me nti.

Me maame mma mmarima bo fuu me;

Wɔmaa mehwɛɛ bobefuo* so,

Na me ara me bobefuo deɛ, manhwɛ so.

 7 Wo a matɔ wo dɔ mu,* ka kyerɛ me ɛ.

Ɛhe na wode wo nnwan kɔ adidie?+

Ɛhe na woma wɔda awiaberɛ?

Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ sɛ ɔbaa a ɔde adeɛ akata n’anim,*

Na mekyinkyini wo nnamfonom nnwan mu?”

 8 “O mmaa mu hoɔfɛfoɔ, sɛ wonnim hɔ a,

Kɔdi nnwan no anammɔn akyi

Na ma wo mpɔnkye mma nnidi wɔ nnwanhwɛfoɔ no ntomadan ho.”

10 Agudeɛ ama w’afono ayɛ fɛ,*

Kɔnmuadeɛ ama wo kɔn mu ayɛ fɛ.

11 Yɛde sika kɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ agudeɛ* ama wo,

Na yɛde dwetɛ asisi so.”

12 “Berɛ a ɔhene te ne pono kurukuruwa ho yi,

Me sradehwam*+ reyi hwa.

13 Mehu me dɔfo sɛ kurobo* kotokuo ma+

A ɛda me nufo ntam anadwo.

14 Mehu me dɔfo sɛ lele* nhwiren+

A ɛwɔ En-Gedi+ bobefuo mu.”

17 Yɛn dan* so nnua yɛ sida nnua,

Na nnua a ɛgu yɛn dan so* yɛ papao nnua.
