2 Awurade ka kyerɛ Edom se:
“Hwɛ, mɛbrɛ wo ase.
Mɛyɛ wo ketewa wɔ aman no mu,

3 Wayɛ ahantan adaadaa wo ho,

6 Na wo Esau de, wobewia wʼademude

8 “Saa da no,” Awurade na ose,

9 Teman† wʼakofo bɛbɔ hu

10 Esiane basabasayɛ a woyɛ tiaa wo nua Yakob no nti

15 “Awurade da no abɛn

Nea Awurade se ni.
19 Nkurɔfo a wofi Negeb no

Na wɔn a wofi nkoko no ase no,
