5 Nsupɔ no ahunu na wɔbɔ hu;

Wɔtwi bɛn, na wɔba anim;
6 na obiara boa ne yɔnko
na ɔka kyerɛ ne nua sɛ, “Yɛ den!”
7 Odwumfoɔ hyɛ sikadwumfoɔ nkuran,

Ɔka fa ɔsɔ no ho sɛ, “Ɛyɛ pa ara.”

8 “Nanso wo, Ao Israel, me ɔsomfoɔ,

Mɛhyɛ wo den, na mɛboa wo;

11 “Wɔn a wɔn bo afu wo no nyinaa, ampa ara

13 Na mene Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn,

14 Nsuro, Ao, ɔsonsono Yakob,
Ao Israel a wo sua,

15 “Hwɛ, mede wo bɛyɛ nhusoɔ apa,

Wobɛhuhu mmepɔ no so na woadwiri wɔn,

16 Wobɛhuhu wɔn so, mframa bɛma wɔn so,

Nanso wʼani bɛgye wɔ Awurade mu

Mɛdane anweatam ayɛ no nsubura,

21 “Bɔ wo nkuro,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
“Kyerɛkyerɛ wʼasɛm mu,” Yakob Ɔhene na ɔseɛ.
22 “Fa wʼahoni no bra

25 “Makanyane obi a ɔfiri atifi fam na ɔreba,

Ɔtiatia sodifoɔ so te sɛ dɔteɛ a wɔde si dan,

26 Hwan na ɔkaa yei ho asɛm firii ahyɛaseɛ, sɛdeɛ anka ɛbɛma yɛahunu,

Obiara anka yei,

27 Me na medii ɛkan ka kyerɛɛ Sion, ‘Hwɛ, wɔn nie!’
Mɛma Yerusalem ɔsomafoɔ bi a ɔde asɛmpa bɛba.
28 Mehwɛ nanso obiara nni hɔ,

29 Hwɛ, wɔn nyinaa yɛ atorofoɔ!
Wɔn nneyɛeɛ nka hwee;
