1 Jajelɔ* lɛ, ni ji David binuu lɛ, maŋtsɛ ni yɔɔ Yerusalem lɛ,+ wiemɔi nɛ:+
2 Jajelɔ lɛ kɛɛ, “Yaka nii amli yaka nɔ!Yaka nii amli yaka nɔ! Fɛɛ lɛ yaka nii ni!”+
3 Mɛɛ sɛɛ gbɔmɔ náa yɛ nii ni etsuɔ waa lɛ fɛɛ mliYɛ deŋme ni egboɔ yɛ hulu shishi nɛɛ mli?+
4 Yinɔ hoɔ eyaa, ni yinɔ baa,Shi shikpɔŋ lɛ yɛ* kɛmiiya naanɔ.+
5 Hulu lɛ teɔ shi,* ni hulu lɛ nyɔɔ shi;Ni eyeɔ oyai kɛkuɔ esɛɛ* kɛyaa he ni eteɔ shi yɛ lɛ ekoŋŋ.+
6 Kɔɔyɔɔ tswaa kɛyaa wuoyi, ni ebɔleɔ shi kɛbaa kooyi;Eyaa nɔ ebɔleɔ shi kɛyaa kɛbaa; kɔɔyɔɔ lɛ yaa nɔ ebɔleɔ shi.
7 Fai* fɛɛ hoɔ kɛyaa ŋshɔ lɛ mli, shi ŋshɔ lɛ yiii.+
He ni fai lɛ hoɔ kɛjɛɔ lɛ, jɛmɛ amɛkuɔ amɛsɛɛ kɛyaa koni amɛho ekoŋŋ.+
8 Nibii fɛɛ feɔ mɔ ahuntoo;Mɔ ko mɔ ko nyɛɛɛ awie he po.
Etɔɔɔ hiŋmɛi lɛ kɛ nikwɛmɔ;Ni etɔɔɔ toi hu* kɛ ninumɔ.
9 Nɔ ni eba dã lɛ, no nɔŋŋ baaba ekoŋŋ,Ni nɔ ni afee dã lɛ, no nɔŋŋ abaafee ekoŋŋ;Nɔ ko hee ko kwraa bɛ hulu shishi nɛɛ.+
10 Ani nɔ ko yɛ ni mɔ ko baanyɛ akɛɛ yɛ he akɛ, “Kwɛmɔ, enɛ lɛ nɔ ko hee ni”?
Eyɛ jeeŋmɔ;Eyɛ momo dani wɔyinɔ nɛɛ ba.
11 Mɔ ko mɔ ko kaiii mɛi ni hi shi yɛ blema lɛ;Ni mɛi ni baaba sɛɛ mli lɛ hu, mɔ ko mɔ ko kaiŋ amɛ;Ni mɛi ni baaba yɛ mɛnɛɛmɛi asɛɛ lɛ hu, kaiŋ amɛ.+
12 Mi, jajelɔ* lɛ, miiye Israel nɔ maŋtsɛ yɛ Yerusalem.+
13 Mikpɛ mli yɛ mitsui mli akɛ mikɛ hiɛshikamɔ+ baakase nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni afeɔ yɛ ŋwɛi shishi nɛɛ+—nitsumɔ ni feɔ mɔ ahuntoo ni Nyɔŋmɔ kɛhã gbɔmɛi abii ni amɛtsuɔ lɛ—ni makpa fɛɛ shi makwɛ.
14 Mina nitsumɔi fɛɛ ni atsuɔ yɛ hulu shishi lɛ,Ni naa! fɛɛ lɛ yaka nii ni, etamɔ kɔɔyɔɔ sɛɛtiumɔ.+
15 Nɔ ni ekɔ̃dɔ̃ lɛ, anyɛŋ ajaje,Ni nɔ ni bɛ hu lɛ, ehiii kanemɔ.
16 Kɛkɛ ni mikɛɛ yɛ mitsui mli akɛ: “Naa! miná hiɛshikamɔ babaoo fe mɛi fɛɛ ni tsɔ mihiɛ yɛ Yerusalem lɛ,+ ni mitsui ená hiɛshikamɔ kɛ nilee babaoo.”+
17 Mikɛ mitsui fɛɛ tao koni male nɔ ni ji hiɛshikamɔ kɛ nɔ ni ji sɛkɛyeli* kɛ nɔ ni ji kwashiafeemɔ fɛɛ,+ ni enɛ hu tamɔ kɔɔyɔɔ sɛɛtiumɔ.
18 Ejaakɛ hiɛshikamɔ pii feɔ mɔ ahuntoo babaoo,No hewɔ lɛ, mɔ fɛɛ mɔ ni hãa enilee faa lɛ, epiŋmɔ hu faa.+
