1Afei hwɛ, Awurade,
2Dɔmmarima ne akofo,
3aduonum so panyin ne nea ɔwɔ dibea,
4“Mede mmerantewa bɛyɛ wɔn nnwuma so mpanyimfo;
5Nnipa bɛhyɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho so,
6Ɔbarima beso ne nuanom mu baako mu
7Nanso da no ɔbɛteɛ mu se,
8Yerusalem retɔ ntintan,
9Sɛnea wɔn anim te no di adanse tia wɔn;
10Ka kyerɛ atreneefo se ebesi wɔn yiye,
11Nnome nka amumɔyɛfo!
12Mmabun hyɛ me nkurɔfo so,
13Awurade tena ase wɔ nʼasennii.
14Awurade bu atɛn
15Ase ne dɛn nti na modwerɛw me nkurɔfo
16Awurade kasa se,
17Enti Awurade bɛma tikuru abegu Sion mmea ti ho.
18Da no Awurade beyiyi wɔn afɛfɛde: nkaa, ntamabamma ne kɔnmuade,
19asokaa, nkapo ne nkataanim,
20Wɔn mmotiri, anan ase ntweaban, nkyekyeremu, nnuhuam ntoa ne nkabere,
21nsɔwano mpɛtea ne hwenem nkaa,
22ntade atenten pa, nguguso tiaa a enni nsa, ntade yuu ne sika nkotoku;
23nhwehwɛ, sirikyi ntade, tinwi so nkaa ne mmati so nguguso.
24Nkabɔne besi nea ɛyɛ huam anan mu;
25Wo mmarima bɛtotɔ afoa ano,
26Sion apon betwa adwo, adi awerɛhow;
