From Nana Karenga’s book “Odu Ifa”
My translation in Twi,
An uncontrolled temper does not create anything for anyone
Kokobɔne mmoa ɔbiara da.Patience is the father of character.
Boasetɔ yɛ suban Agya.A person who is patient will become the master of all things.
Nea ɔto ne bo ase bɛyɛ Ɔbenfoɔ.She will reach a ripe old age
Ɔbɛnyin yiyeHe will live a healthy life
Ɔbɛnya asetena pa araAnd she will enjoy life thoroughly
Ɛnna ɔbɛnya asetena mu anigyeɛ pa araLike a person tasting honey
Te sɛ obi a ɔredi ɛwoɔ
