17 Yehowa kɛɛ mi ekoŋŋ akɛ:
2 “Gbɔmɔ bi,* gbá ajenu ni obu Israel shĩa lɛ abɛ.+
3 Kɛɛmɔ akɛ, ‘Nɔ ni Nuŋtsɔ Ofe Yehowa kɛɛ nɛ: “Okropɔŋ+ wulu lɛ kɛ efiji agboi, kɛ etsɛji kakadaji kɛ emli kɔlai srɔtoi babaoo lɛ ba Lebanon,+ ni ebaku tseneduru tso lɛ yiteŋ.+
4 Eku eyiteŋ tso ni etsɛ̃ lɛ, ni ekɛba jarayelɔi lɛ ashikpɔŋ* lɛ nɔ ni edu yɛ jarayelɔi lɛ amaŋ lɛ mli.+

7 “‘“Ni okropɔŋ wulu kroko+ kɛ efiji agboi kɛ etsɛji agboi ba.+ Kɛkɛ ni wain tso nɛɛ kɛ ekãa kpã eshishifãi lɛ amli kɛtee eŋɔɔ kɛje abɔɔ ni adu lɛ yɛ mli* lɛ he, ni ekpã ebai lɛ hu amli kɛtee eŋɔɔ koni okropɔŋ nɛɛ ahã lɛ nu.+

9 “Kɛɛmɔ akɛ, ‘Nɔ ni Nuŋtsɔ Ofe Yehowa kɛɛ nɛ: “Ani ebaahi? Ani mɔ ko famɔŋ eshishifãi+ lɛ ni ehã enɔ yibii lɛ akpɔtɔ ni ehã eniji ni etsɛ̃rɛ̃ lɛ agbi?+ Ebaagbi aahu akɛ ehe ehiaŋ ni akɛ nineshiwalɛ loo mɛi babaoo afã tso lɛ kɛ eshishifãi lɛ afɔ̃ shi.

11 Ni Yehowa kɛɛ mi ekoŋŋ akɛ:
12 “Ofainɛ kɛɛmɔ atuatselɔi ashĩa lɛ akɛ, ‘Nyɛnaaa nɔ ni nibii nɛɛ tsɔɔ lo?’ Kɛɛmɔ akɛ, ‘Naa! Babilon maŋtsɛ lɛ ba Yerusalem ni ebamɔ enɔ maŋtsɛ lɛ kɛ emli lumɛi lɛ ni ekɛ amɛ tee Babilon.+

16 “‘“Gbii abɔ ni mihiɛ kã nɛɛ,” Nuŋtsɔ Ofe Yehowa kɛɛ, “ebaagbo yɛ Babilon, yɛ he ni maŋtsɛ* ni wó lɛ* maŋtsɛ lɛ yɔɔ lɛ, mɔ ni ebuuu ekitã lɛ ni eku ekpaŋmɔ lɛ mli lɛ.+

19 “‘No hewɔ lɛ, nɔ ni Nuŋtsɔ Ofe Yehowa kɛɛ nɛ: “Gbii abɔ ni mihiɛ kã nɛɛ, mikɛ nɔ ni baajɛ mikitã lɛ ni ebuuu+ lɛ kɛ mikpaŋmɔ lɛ ni eku mli lɛ mli kɛba lɛ baaba enɔ.

22 “‘Nɔ ni Nuŋtsɔ Ofe Yehowa kɛɛ nɛ: “Maku tso ko ni etsɛ̃ kɛjɛ tseneduru tso ni kwɔ lɛ yiteŋ+ ni madu, etsei niji ni yɔɔ ŋwɛi tɔ̃ɔ lɛ ahe maku tso ni etsɛ̃ lɛ kɛjɛ,+ ni mi diɛŋtsɛ madu yɛ gɔŋ ko ni kwɔ gojoo nɔ.+
23 Madu yɛ Israel gɔŋ ko ni kwɔ nɔ; ni ebaagbala niji, ni ebaawo yibii, ni ebaatsɔ tseneduru tso wulu. Ni loofɔji srɔtoi fɛɛ baahi eshishi ni amɛbaahi ebai lɛ ahɔɔŋ lɛ mli.
24 Ni ŋa nɔ tsei lɛ fɛɛ baaná ale akɛ, mi Yehowa, mi diɛŋtsɛ miba tso ni kwɔ lɛ shi ni miwó tso ni baa shi lɛ nɔ;+ mihã tso ni ebu kusuu lɛ egbi, ni mihã tso ni egbi lɛ egba fɔfɔi.+ Mi, Yehowa, mi diɛŋtsɛ miwie ni mifee.”’”
