1 “Sɛ wobɛsane wʼakyi a Ao, Israel,

3 Yei ne asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛ Yuda mmarima ne Yerusalem:
“Monsiesie mo asase a wɔmfuntum da

4 Montwitwa mo ho twetia mma Awurade
montwitwa mo akoma twetia,

Mo bɔne a moayɛ enti,

5 “Bɔ nkaeɛ wɔ Yuda na pae mu ka wɔ Yerusalem sɛ,
‘Hyɛn totorobɛnto no wɔ asase no nyinaa so!’
Team denden sɛ:
‘Mommoaboa mo ho ano!

6 Momma frankaa so na monkɔ Sion

Ɛfiri sɛ mede amanehunu firi atifi fam reba,
ɔsɛeɛ a ɛyɛ hu.”
7 Gyata bi afiri ne tu mu;

Wo nkuro bɛbubu

8 Enti fira ayitoma,
di awerɛhoɔ na twa adwo,

9 “Saa ɛda no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ,
“ɔhene no ne adwumayɛfoɔ no bɛbɔ hu,
asɔfoɔ no bo bɛtu,
na adiyifoɔ no ho bɛdwiri wɔn.”
10 Afei, mekaa sɛ, “Aa, Otumfoɔ Awurade, woadaadaa nnipa yi ne Yerusalem. Wokaa sɛ, ‘Mobɛnya asomdwoeɛ,’ wɔ ɛberɛ a akofena da yɛn mene mu.”
11 Saa ɛberɛ no wɔbɛka akyerɛ nnipa yi ne Yerusalem sɛ, “Mframa a emu yɛ hyeɛ bɛbɔ afiri nkokoɔ wesee a ɛwɔ anweatam so aba me nkurɔfoɔ so, ɛnyɛ deɛ ɛpɔ ho anaa ɛhuhu soɔ; 12 mframa a ano yɛ den boro saa no firi me nkyɛn. Afei, mepae mu ka mʼatemmuo a ɛtia wɔn.”
13 Hwɛ! Ɔreba sɛ omununkum,

Yɛnnue! Yɛawu!
14 Ao, Yerusalem, yi bɔne firi wʼakoma mu na woanya nkwa.
Wode adwemmɔne bɛhyɛ wo mu akɔsi da bɛn?
15 Ɛnne bi rebɔ kaseɛ firi Dan,

16 “Monka yei nkyerɛ aman no,

18 “Wʼankasa abrabɔ ne nneyɛeɛ

Yei yɛ wʼasotwe.
Ɛyɛ nwono!
Ɛwowɔ akoma!”
19 Ao mʼahoyera, mʼahoyera!
Mede ɔyea nukanuka me mu.

Mʼakoma bɔ paripari wɔ me mu,

Ɛfiri sɛ, mate totorobɛnto no nnyegyeɛ;

20 Amanehunu di amanehunu akyi;

Wɔasɛe me ntomadan prɛko pɛ,

21 Ɛsɛ sɛ mehwɛ ɔko frankaa no

22 “Me nkurɔfoɔ yɛ nkwaseafoɔ;

Wɔyɛ mma a wɔnni adwen;

Wɔwɔ bɔneyɛ ho nyansa;

23 Mehwɛeɛ asase no,

24 Mehwɛeɛ mmepɔ no,

25 Mehwɛeɛ, na nnipa nni hɔ;

26 Mehwɛeɛ, na nsasebereɛ no adane anweatam

27 Sei na Awurade seɛ:
“Wɔbɛsɛe asase no nyinaa,
mmom merensɛe no korakora.
28 Enti asase bɛdi awerɛhoɔ

Masi gyinaeɛ na mennane no.”
29 Apɔnkɔsotefoɔ ne agyantofoɔ nnyegyeeɛ

Ebinom kɔhyɛ nkyɛkyerɛ mu

Nkuro no nyinaa so ada mpan;

30 Ɛdeɛn na woreyɛ Ao wo a woasɛe woɔ?

Adɛn na wode nnuro keka wʼani?
Wohyehyɛ wo ho kwa.
Wʼadɔfoɔ bu wo animtia;

31 Mete osu bi te sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no,
mete apinisie te sɛ ɔbaa a ɔrebɔne awoɔ,
Ɔbabaa Sion su te sɛ deɛ nisupɔporɔ ahini no,

“Afei deɛ, meretɔ baha;
wɔde me kra ama awudifoɔ.”
