ב [Behth]
ג [Giʹmel]
3 Amanehunu ne nkoadwuma bebrebe+ nti, Yuda kɔ nkoasom mu.+
Wakɔtena amanaman mu.+ Onnya homebea.
N’ataafo nyinaa ato no, ahohia mu.+
ד [Daʹleth]
4 Sion akwan redi awerɛhow, efisɛ obi mma afahyɛ no ase.+
N’aponkɛse nyinaa adeda mpan;+ n’asɔfo resi apini.+
Awerɛhow ahyɛ ne mmaabun ma, na ɔno nso redi abooboo.+
ה [Heʼ]
5 N’asɛefo abedi ti.+ N’atamfo ayi wɔn ani ato nkyɛn.+
Yehowa na ɔde awerɛhow aba no so, ne mmarato bebrebe no ho.+
Ɛno nti na ne mma nso adi atamfo anim kɔ nkoasom mu no.+
ו [Waw]
6 Sion babea anuonyam nyinaa atu ayera.+

ז [Zaʹyin]
7 Yerusalem ahokyere nna ne ne manfo adedamfikyiri mu no,
Wakae ne kan nna mu afɛfɛde no nyinaa.+
Bere a ne manfo kodii atamfo nsam na wannya ɔboafo no,+
Atamfo huu no, na wɔserew no n’asehwe ho.+
ח [Chehth]
8 Bɔne na Yerusalem ayɛ.+ Ɛno nti na wadan atantanne no.+
Wɔn a wodii no ni nyinaa abu no sɛ ade fõ,+ efisɛ wɔahu n’adagyaw.+
Ɔno nso resi apini+ na wadan ne ho.
ט [Tehth]
9 Ne ho fĩ akeka n’atade mu.+ Wankae daakye asɛm,+
Na wabɔ fam ma ayɛ nwonwa. Onni ɔwerɛkyekyefo bi.+
י [Yohdh]
10 Ɔtamfo atrɛw ne nsam n’afɛfɛde nyinaa so.+
Wahu sɛ amanaman aba ne kronkronbea hɔ,+
Wɔn a wohyɛe sɛ wɔmmma w’asafo mu no.
כ [Kaph]
11 Ne manfo nyinaa resi apini; wɔrehwehwɛ aduan.+
Wɔde wɔn afɛfɛde asesa aduan de ama wɔn kra amee.+
O Yehowa, hwɛ na hu, na madan ohuhuni.+
ל [Laʹmedh]
12 Mo a moretwam ɔkwan no so nyinaa, enti ɛmfa mo ho? Monhwɛ na munhu.+

Ɔwerɛkyekyefo afi me ho kɔ akyirikyiri, nea obedwudwo me kra no.

17 Sion atrɛw ne nsam.+ Onni ɔwerɛkyekyefo bi.+
Yehowa ahyɛ wɔ Yakob ho sɛ wɔn a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa nyɛ n’atamfo.+
Yerusalem adan atantanne wɔn mu.+

Me koma adan abutuw wɔ me yam,+ efisɛ matew atua kɛse.+
Nkrante akunkum me mma wɔ abɔnten so.+ Na ofie nso, owu na ɛwɔ hɔ.+
