10 My pipol, make una nor fear;

I go save una from di far land

Una go kom back to una house
kon stay for peace and nobody go make una fear again.

12 God tell en pipol,
“Dem nor go fit cure una wound
and una sore go dey forever.
13 Nobody go kare for una or cure una sore;

16 But naw, doz wey distroy una,

Dem go opress doz wey dey opress una
and doz wey tif from una,

17 And even doh una enemies sey,
‘Zion nor mean anytin and nobody kare about am,’
I go make una well again kon heal una wound.
Mi, wey bi God, don tok.”

Dem go build Jerusalem again
and di king palis go dey as e bi before.
19 Di pipol wey dey stay der go sing,

My blessing go make dem many well-well
and e go bring honor for dem.
20 Dia shidren-shidren go bi as dem bi before

21 Dia leaders go kom from dia own nashon
and dia prince go bi dia own pipol.
E go kom meet mi wen I invite am,
