Koro esit mmɔ emi amakabare odobi,
Utɔŋ onyuŋ odobi mmɔ ndikop ikɔ,
Mmɔ emenyuŋ ebɔp enyin;
Mbak mmɔ edida enyin mmɔ ekut usuŋ,
Eda utɔŋ mmɔ ekop ikɔ,
Enyuŋ eda esit mmɔ efiɔk ŋkpɔ enyuŋ ekabare,
Ndien Ami ŋkɔk mmɔ.
For the heart of this people is waxed gross,
And their ears are dull of hearing,
And their eyes have they closed;
Lest they should see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And should be converted,
And I should heal them.
