Edi Enye ɔdɔhɔ mmɔ ete, Isaiah ototim etiŋ nte prophet abaŋa mbufo, mbon mbubik, nte ewetde ete,
Mbio emi ekpono Mi ke mkpɔk-inua mmɔ,
Edi esit mmɔ ada nsan-nsan ye Ami;
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honoureth me with their lips,
But their heart is far from me.
