O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?
5 Èna aɖatsibolo wo woɖu, eye nèna aɖatsi wo wono taŋtaŋ.
You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.

8 Ètsɔ wainka tso Egipte, ènya dukɔwo, eye nèdoe.
You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
9 Èdzra eŋuti ɖo nyuie, eye wòto ke hevu tsyɔ anyigba.
You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
10 Edo vɔvɔli ɖe towo tame eye wòɖe alɔ de sedati kɔkɔwo tame.
The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Eɖe alɔ yi ɖe keke ƒuta ke, eye eƒe kewo yi ɖe keke Frat tɔsisi la nu ke.
It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.
12 Nu ka ŋuti nègbã kpɔ le eŋu, ale be ame siwo to afi ma yi la fɔ wain tsetsewo?
Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
13 Gbehawo nya avuzi le edzi, eye gbemelãwo ɖui.
The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.
14 Trɔ va mía gbɔ, O Mawu, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ! Do kɔ ɖa tso dziƒo, eye nàkpɔ nu! Kpɔ wainka sia ta,
Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—
15 ke si wò nuɖusi do, viŋutsu si wò ŋutɔ nèhe wòtsi.
the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.
16 Wolã wò wainka, wotɔ dzoe, eye wò mokaname na wò amewo tsrɔ̃.
Your vine has been cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.

Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.

Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
