Don don, dugu kɔ fɛ, aw bɛ kunnafoni kɛ jamanadensɛbɛw kɔrɔ. Dugu soro ma kɛ, aw bɛ yɛrɛ fɛ. Kɛ a ye ko a bɛ yen.
The people do not fear death; to what purpose is it to (try to) frighten them with death? If the people were always in awe of death, and I could always seize those who do wrong, and put them to death, who would dare to do wrong? There is always One who presides over the infliction of death.
