1 Sɛdeɛ Awurade de nʼabufuhyeɛ omununkum akata Ɔbabaa Sion so nie? Wato Israel animuonyam firi soro abɛhwe fam; wankae ne nan ntiasoɔ wɔ nʼabufuo da no.
2 Awurade annya ahummɔborɔ na wamene Yakob atenaeɛ nyinaa; nʼabufuhyeɛ mu, wadwiri Yuda Ɔbabaa aban denden no agu fam. Wagu nʼahennie ne ne mmapɔmma ho fi.
3 Ɔde abufuhyeɛ atwitwa Israel mmɛn nyinaa. Wayi ne banbɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a atamfoɔ no reba. Wasɔ wɔ Yakob mu sɛ ogyadɛreɛ a ɛhye biribiara a atwa ho ahyia.
4 Wapoma ne bɛmma te sɛ ɔtamfoɔ; ne nsa nifa ayɛ krado. Sɛdeɛ ɔtamfoɔ yɛ no, wakunkum wɔn a wɔyɛ fɛ wɔ anisoɔ nyinaa; wahwie nʼabufuhyeɛ sɛ ogya agu Ɔbabaa Sion ntomadan so.
5 Awurade ayɛ sɛ ɔtamfoɔ; wamene Israel. Wamene nʼahemfie nyinaa asɛe nʼabandenden. Wama awerɛhoɔdie ne agyaadwotwa adɔɔso ama Yuda Ɔbabaa.
6 Wama nʼatenaeɛ ada mpan sɛ turo; wasɛe ne dwabirem. Awurade ama Sion werɛ afiri nʼafahyɛ ne home nna; wɔ nʼabufuhyeɛ mu no wabu ɔhene ne ɔsɔfoɔ animtia.
7 Awurade apo nʼafɔrebukyia na wagyae ne kronkronbea mu. Ɔde nʼahemfie afasuo ahyɛ nʼatamfoɔ nsa. Wɔteam wɔ Awurade efie te sɛ afahyɛ da.

9 Nʼapono amem fam; wɔn adaban nso, wabubu mu asɛe no. Ne ɔhene ne ne mmapɔmma, watwa wɔn asuo kɔ amanaman no mu, mmara nni hɔ bio, na nʼadiyifoɔ nnnya anisoadehunu a ɛfiri Awurade hɔ bio.
10 Ɔbabaa Sion mpanimfoɔ tete fam ayɛ komm; wɔde mfuturo agu wɔn tirim afirafira ayitoma. Yerusalem mmabaawa asisi wɔn tiri ase.
11 Mʼani rentumi nnyae nisuteɛ, me yafunu mu retwa me, mʼakoma rete atɔ fam, ɛfiri sɛ wɔasɛe me nkurɔfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ mmɔfra ne mmotafowa totɔ piti wɔ kuropɔn no mmɔntene so.
12 Wɔbisa wɔn maamenom sɛ, “Ɛhe na aduane ne nsã wɔ?” Ɛberɛ a wɔtotɔ piti sɛ apirafoɔ wɔ kuropɔn no mmɔntene so, ɛberɛ a wɔn nkwa resa wɔ wɔn maamenom abasa so.
13 Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi aka ama woɔ? Ɛdeɛn ho na mɛtumi de wo atoto, Ao, Yerusalem Ɔbabaa? Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi de asusu woɔ, de akyekyere wo werɛ, Ao, Sion Ɔbabaa Bunu? Wʼapirakuro so sɛ ɛpo. Hwan na ɔbɛtumi asa ama woɔ?
14 Wʼadiyifoɔ anisoadehunu yɛ atorɔ a ɛho nni mfasoɔ; wɔanna mo amumuyɛ adi ansi mo nnommumfa ano. Nkɔmhyɛ a wɔde maa mo no yɛ atorɔ ne nnaadaa.
15 Wɔn a wɔtwam wo ɛkwan soɔ nyinaa bobɔ wɔn nsam gu wo so; wɔdi wo ho fɛ na wɔwoso wɔn tiri gu Yerusalem Ɔbabaa so ka sɛ, “Yei ne kuropɔn a na wɔfrɛ no ahoɔfɛ a ɛdi mu no? Asase nyinaa anigyedeɛ no nie?”
16 Wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa baeɛ wɔn anom kakraa tia wo; wɔsere na wɔtwɛre wɔn se na wɔka sɛ, “Yɛamene no. Ɛda a na yɛretwɛn no nie; Yɛatena ase ahunu.”
17 Awurade ayɛ deɛ ɔhyehyɛeɛ; wama nʼasɛm a ɔhyɛɛ dadaada no aba mu. Watu wo agu a wanhunu wo mmɔbɔ, wama ɔtamfoɔ no ani agye wama wʼatamfoɔ no mmɛn so.
18 Nnipa no akoma su frɛ Awurade. Ao, Sion Ɔbabaa fasuo, ma wo nisuo nsene sɛ asubɔnten awia ne anadwo; nnye wʼahome mma wʼani nso nnya ahomeɛ.
19 Sɔre, su denden anadwo ɔdasuom mfitiaseɛ; hwie wʼakoma mu nsɛm sɛ nsuo gu Awurade anim. Ma wo nsa so kyerɛ no wo mma nkwa enti, wɔn a ɛkɔm ama wʼatotɔ baha wɔ mmɔntene so.
20 “Hwɛ na dwene ho, Ao, Awurade: Hwan na wode no afa saa ɛkwan yi so pɛn? Ɛsɛ sɛ mmaa we wɔn yafunu mma nam anaa, mma a wɔahwɛ wɔn? Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum ɔsɔfoɔ ne odiyifoɔ wɔ Awurade kronkronbea anaa?
21 “Mmɔfra ne mpanin adeda abɔ mu mfuturo mu wɔ mmɔntene so, me mmeranteɛ ne mmabaawa atotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wakum wɔn wɔ wʼabufuo da; wayam wɔn na wannya ahummɔborɔ.
22 “Sɛdeɛ wotoo wo nsa frɛ wɔ apontoɔ da no, saa ara na wofrɛfrɛɛ amanehunu firi afanan nyinaa tiaa me. Awurade abufuo da no, obiara annwane na obiara anka: wɔn a mehwɛɛ wɔn na metetee wɔn no, me ɔtamfoɔ adwerɛ wɔn.”
