5 Oo, mi Yerusalem vinyɔnuwo, ame yii* menye, gake menya kpɔ,Abe Kedar ƒe agbadɔwo ene,+ abe Salomo ƒe agbadɔvɔwo+ ene.
6 Miganɔ kpɔyem, le esi menyɔ ta o,Le esi ɣe ɖum ta o.
Danye viŋutsuwoe do dziku ɖe ŋunye;Woɖom waingbleawo ŋu dzɔlae,Evɔ megblẽ nye ŋutɔ nye waingble ya ɖi.
7 Gblɔe nam, wò ame si melɔ̃na* vevie,Gblɔ afi si wò lãhawo ɖua gbe le,+Afi si nènana wotsyɔa akɔ ɖo le ŋdɔ me la nam.

8 “Oo tugbewo ƒe tugbe, ne mènyae o la,Ekema do afɔ na lãhawo,Eye nàna wò gbɔ̃viwo naɖu gbe le lãkplɔlawo ƒe avɔgbadɔwo gbɔ.”
9 “Nye lɔlɔ̃tɔ, èle nam abe sɔnɔ* le Farao ƒe tasiaɖamwo ŋu ene.+
10 Atsyɔ̃ɖonuwo dze tonu na wò ale gbegbe,*Wò kɔdzonuwo hã dze wò ŋutɔ!
11 Míatsɔ sika awɔ atsyɔ̃ɖonu* na wò,Eye klosalokpeviwo anɔ eŋu.”
12 “Esi fia la bɔbɔ nɔ eƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu la,Nye ami ʋeʋĩ*+ la xɔ teƒea katã.
13 Nye lɔlɔ̃tɔ le nam abe miregoe+ eneLe nye nowo domee zã bliboa.
14 Nye lɔlɔ̃tɔ le nam abe henaseƒoƒo*+ eneLe En-Gedi+ waingblewo me.”
15 “Nye lɔlɔ̃tɔ, èdze tugbe loo!
Mebe, èdze tugbe ŋutɔ! Wò ŋkuwo le abe ahɔnɛ ƒe ŋkuwo ene.”+
16 “Oo nye lɔlɔ̃tɔ, wò hã èdze ɖeka ŋutɔ, eye wò nu nyoa ame ŋu.+
Míaƒe mlɔƒe le gbe damawo dome.
17 Míaƒe aƒe* ƒe daɖedziwo nye sedertiwo,Eye míaƒe xɔdzisasrãwo nye sesewutiwo.
