1 Miƒo ƒu! Miƒo ƒu! O, dukɔ si ŋu mekpena o,
Mwĩcookanĩrĩriei hamwe, mwĩcookanĩrĩriei hamwe inyuĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rũtarĩ thoni.

Mwĩcookanĩrĩriei mbere ya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo gũkinya, mũthenya ũcio ũmũkorerere ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho, mbere ya marakara mahiũ ma Jehova mamũkore, mbere ya mũthenya ũcio wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova kũmũkora.
3 Midi Yehowa, mi anyigbadzitɔ siwo katã bɔbɔ mia ɖokui, mi ame siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu. Midi dzɔdzɔenyenye, midi ɖokuibɔbɔ; ɖewohĩ woatsyɔ nu mia dzi le Yehowa ƒe dzikuŋkeke la dzi.
Cariai Jehova, inyuĩ andũ othe arĩa enyiihia a bũrũri, inyuĩ arĩa mwĩkaga ũrĩa aathanĩte. Mwĩcarĩriei ũthingu, mwĩcarĩriei kwĩnyiihia; no gũkorwo nĩmũkagitĩrwo mũthenya ũcio wa marakara ma Jehova.
4 Gaza azu aƒedo, eye Askelon azu gli gbagbã. Le ŋdɔkutsu me woalɔ Asdod ƒioƒioƒio, eye woaho Ekron kple ke.
Itũũra rĩa Gaza nĩrĩgatiganĩrio, narĩo itũũra rĩa Ashikeloni rĩanangwo. Andũ a Ashidodi makaarutũrũrwo mũthenya barigici, narĩo itũũra rĩa Ekironi rĩthario ta mũtĩ ũkũmunywo.
5 Baba na mi Keretitɔwo, mi ame siwo le ƒuta; O Kanaan, Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba, Yehowa tsɔ nya ɖe mia ŋu be, “Matsrɔ̃ mi keŋkeŋkeŋ, eye ame aɖeke masusɔ o.”
Inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga ndwere-inĩ cia iria, o inyuĩ Akerethi, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩ ĩgũũkĩrĩire, wee Kaanani, bũrũri wa Afilisti. “Nĩngakũniina, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgaatigara.”
6 Keretitɔwo ƒe nɔƒe si le ƒuta la, azu alẽkpo kple nɔƒe na alẽkplɔlawo.
Bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria, o kũu Akerethi matũũraga, gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa gwakwo ithũnũ cia arĩithi, na ciugũ cia ngʼondu.
7 Anye ame mamlɛ siwo susɔ na Yuda ƒe aƒe la tɔ, afi mae woakpɔ lãnyiƒe le. Le fiẽ me la, woamlɔ Askelontɔwo ƒe aƒewo me. Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la akpɔ wo ta, eye wòagaɖo wo te.
Bũrũri ũcio ũgaatuĩka wa matigari ma nyũmba ya Juda; kũu nĩkuo makoona ũrĩithio. Hwaĩ-inĩ magaakomaga nyũmba cia Ashikeloni. Nake Jehova Ngai wao nĩakamamenyerera, na atũme magaacĩre rĩngĩ.
8 “Mese Moab ƒe alɔmeɖeɖe kple Amon ƒe viwo ƒe vlododo, ame siwo dzi nye dukɔ, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe woƒe anyigba ŋuti.
“Nĩnjiguĩte irumi cia Moabi na inyũrũri cia Aamoni, acio maarumire andũ akwa na makĩĩhĩta gũũkĩrĩra bũrũri wao.”
9 Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, Zi ale si meli la, woatsrɔ̃ Moab kple Amon abe ale si wotsrɔ̃ Sodom kple Gomora ene, eye woazu ŋuvedzeɖeƒe kple gbegbe; nye ame siwo susɔ la aha wo, eye woaxɔe le wo si.”
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, Moabi gũgaatuĩka o ta Sodomu, naguo bũrũri wa Aamoni ũtuĩke ta Gomora, kũndũ kwa riya, na marima ma cumbĩ, kũndũ gũtakũraga kĩndũ kuuma tene. Matigari ma andũ akwa nĩmakaamataha; nao andũ a rũrĩrĩ rwakwa arĩa makaahonoka nĩmakagaya bũrũri wao.”
10 Woaxɔ woƒe dada ƒe fetu, elabena woɖu fewu le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe dukɔ ŋuti.
Maũndũ macio nĩmakamakora nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtĩĩo wao, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũruma na kũnyũrũria andũ a Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
11 Yehowa ana nu vɔ̃ɖi geɖe nava wo dzi. Atsrɔ̃ woƒe mawuwo katã kple woƒe ŋusẽ ɖa, eye ame sia ame asubɔe le eƒe anyigba dzi le xexea me godoo.
Jehova nĩagetigĩrwo nĩo rĩrĩa akaananga ngai ciothe cia bũrũri ũcio. Ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ ciothe cia iria nĩikamũhooya, o rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ bũrũri waruo kĩũmbe.
12 “Mi Kustɔwo, woatsrɔ̃ miawo hã kple yi.”
“O na inyuĩ, andũ a Kushi, nĩmũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora.”
13 Nenema kee nye anyiehetɔwo hã; atsrɔ̃ Asiria kple eƒe toxɔdu Ninive xɔŋkɔ la gbidigbidi, eye wòanɔ abe dzogbe ene.
Nĩagatambũrũkia guoko gwake okĩrĩre andũ a gathigathini na aniine Ashuri, atige Nineve gũkirĩte ihooru, na kũũmagarĩte o ta werũ.
14 Du xɔŋkɔ sia azu gbeɖuƒe na alẽhawo. Gbemelã kple xe vovovowo atsɔ teƒe sia awɔ wo nɔƒee.

Ndũũru cia mbũri na ngʼombe igaakoma kuo, hamwe na ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe. Ndundu cia werũ na ndundu iria ngʼambi nĩikomba itugĩ-inĩ ciakuo. Kayũ ka mĩgambo yacio gakaiguuagwo ndirica-inĩ, hĩba cia mahiga igaakorwo mĩrango-inĩ, nayo mĩgamba ya mĩtarakwa ĩtigwo ũtheri.
