1 Afei mekae se,
“Muntie, mo Yakob akannifo,
mo a mudi Israelfi so.
Ɛsɛ sɛ muhu nea ɛyɛ atɛntrenee,
2 Mo a mukyi nea eye na modɔ bɔne
moworɔw me nkurɔfo were
na motetew nam no fi wɔn nnompe ho;
3 mowe me nkurɔfo nam,

bubu wɔn nnompe mu nketenkete;
mutwitwa wɔn sɛ nam a
mode regu kutu mu.”
4 Afei wobesu afrɛ Awurade,
nanso ɔrennye wɔn so.
Saa bere no ɔde nʼanim besie wɔn,
bɔne a wɔayɛ nti.
5 Nea Awurade se ni:
“Adiyifo a

obi ma wɔn biribi di a
wɔpae mu ka asomdwoe nsɛm,
na sɛ wɔamma wɔn biribi anni a,
adiyifo no siesie wɔn ho sɛ wobetu wɔn so sa.
6 Enti ade bɛsa mo a morennya adaeso,
sum beduru mo a morennya ahintasɛm biara.
Owia bɛtɔ ama adiyifo no,
na adekyee bɛdan sum ama wɔn.
7 Adehufo ani bewu
na wobegu asamanfrɛfo anim ase.
Wɔn nyinaa bɛkatakata wɔn anim,
efisɛ mmuae biara mfi Onyankopɔn hɔ mma.”
8 Nanso me de, tumi ahyɛ me ma,
Awurade Honhom ahyɛ me ma

Yakob amumɔyɛ ne Israel bɔne.
9 Muntie, mo Yakobfi akannifo,
mo a mudi Israel so,

na mokyea nea ɛteɛ nyinaa;
10 Mo a mode mogyahwiegu kyekyeree Sion
ne awurukasɛm kyekyeree Yerusalem.
11 Nʼakannifo no gye adanmude ansa na wobu atɛn,
nʼasɔfo gye sika ansa na wɔakyerɛkyerɛ,
nʼadiyifo de nkɔmhyɛ ayɛ sikapɛ.
Nanso wɔdan Awurade, na wɔka se,
“Awurade nni yɛn ntam ana?
Ɔhaw biara remma yɛn so.”
12 Na mo nti,
wobefuntum Sion te sɛ afuw,
Yerusalem bɛyɛ nnwiriwii siw,
na asɔredan no pampa bɛyɛ nkɔmoa so nkyɛkyerɛ.
