3 Eyi ne asɛm a, Awurade ka kyerɛ Yuda mmarima ne Yerusalem:
“Munsiesie mo asase a womfuntum da,
na munnnua wɔ nsɔe mu.
4 Muntwitwa mo ho twetia mma Awurade
muntwitwa mo koma twetia,
mo Yuda mmarima ne Yerusalemfo,
anyɛ saa a mʼabufuwhyew bɛsɔre na adɛw sɛ ogya

‘Hyɛn torobɛnto no wɔ asase no nyinaa so!’
Teɛ mu dennen se:
‘Mommoaboa mo ho ano!
Momma yenguan nkɔ nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu!’
6 Momma frankaa so na monkɔ Sion

Efisɛ mede amanehunu fi atifi fam reba,

7 Gyata bi afi ne tu mu;

9 “Saa da no,” Awurade na ose,
“ɔhene no ne adwumayɛfo no bɛbɔ hu,

na adiyifo no ho bedwiriw wɔn.”
10 Afei, mekae se, “Aa, Otumfo Awurade, woadaadaa nnipa yi ne Yerusalem, wokae se, ‘Mubenya asomdwoe,’ wɔ bere a afoa da yɛn mene mu.”
11 Saa bere no wɔbɛka akyerɛ nnipa yi ne Yerusalem se, “Mframa a emu yɛ hyew bɛbɔ afi nkoko wosee a ɛwɔ nweatam so aba me nkurɔfo so, ɛnyɛ nea ɛpo ho anaa ehuhuw so; 12 mframa a ano yɛ den boro saa no fi me nkyɛn. Afei mepae mu ka mʼatemmu a etia wɔn.”

16 “Monka eyi nkyerɛ aman no,

18 “Wo ankasa abrabɔ ne nneyɛe,

Eyi yɛ wʼasotwe.
Ɛyɛ nwen!

19 Ao, mʼahoyeraw, mʼahoyeraw!

Efisɛ, mate torobɛnto no nnyigye;

20 Amanehunu di amanehunu akyi;

Wɔasɛe me ntamadan prɛko pɛ,

22 “Me nkurɔfo yɛ nkwaseafo;

23 Mehwɛɛ asase no,

26 Mehwɛe, na nsasebere no adan nweatam

27 Sɛnea Awurade se:
“Wɔbɛsɛe asase no nyinaa;

28 Enti asase bedi awerɛhow

29 Apɔnkɔsotefo ne agyantowfo nnyigyei

Ebinom kɔhyɛ nkyɛkyerɛ mu,

Nkurow no nyinaa so adeda mpan;
