Kwadwom 4

¹Hwɛ sɛnea sikakɔkɔɔ ayera ne hyerɛn no ni

²Hwɛ sɛnea Sion mmabarima a wodi mu

³Mpo adompo yi wɔn nufu

⁴Osukɔm nti, akokoaa tɛkrɛma

⁵Wɔn a na anka wodi nnuan pa no

⁶Me nkurɔfo asotwe

⁷Na wɔn ahenemma ho twa sen sukyerɛmma,

⁸Nanso mprempren de, wobiri sen wusiw bɔtɔ;

⁹Wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ afoa ano no ye koraa

¹⁰Mmea a wɔwɔ ayamhyehye

¹¹Awurade ada nʼabufuwhyew nyinaa adi;

¹²Asase so ahemfo annye anni,

¹³Nanso esii, nʼadiyifo no bɔne

¹⁴Afei wɔkeka wɔ mmɔnten so

¹⁵Nnipa teɛteɛɛ mu gu wɔn so se, “Mumfi ha nkɔ! Mo ho ntew!”

¹⁶Awurade ankasa abɔ wɔn ahwete;

¹⁷Nea ɛka ho bio, yɛn ani anni ammoa yɛn,

¹⁸Nnipa dii yɛn ntɛntɛnso wɔ yɛn anammɔntu mu,

¹⁹Yɛn ataafo ho yɛ hare

²⁰Nea Awurade asra no ngo, yɛn nkwa home ankasa no,

²¹Di ahurusi na ma wʼani nnye, Edom Babea,

²²Ɔbabea Sion, wʼasotwe bɛba awiei;
