7 “Ande dimɛna diele ekolo ayɛ lo sabata yayɛ,

Wɛ ɔna womoto la lokumu lee!

Otshimbedi wa pɛlɔhɛlɔ diayɛ wekɔ oko dɛngalɛnga,

Olimu w’anya w’otshudi wa kɔmba.

Dikundju diayɛ diekɔ olui w’eponga,

Wodingami la alɛmbɔlɛmbɔ.

 3 Awɛlɛ ayɛ 2 wekɔ oko mfumbɔ 2,

Diasa dia mboloko.+

Washo+ ayɛ wekɔ oko ashi wa Hɛshibɔna,+

Lo soko dia Batɛ-Rabima.

Ɔhɛmbɛ ayɛ wekɔ oko tshoto ya Lɛbanɔna,

Yɛlɛ otsha la Damasɛkɛ.

 5 Ɔtɛ ayɛ kɔlɛngaka oko Karamɛlɛ,+

Apoto wa divo*+ diayɛ wekɔ oko dihɔndɔ di’ebelabela.+

 6 Ande olangala weyɛ ndo ande dimɛna dieyɛ,

Wɛ ɔna womoto lalangema, laadiko dia kɛnɛ tshɛ kangɛnyangɛnya lee!

 7 Diema diayɛ diekɔ oko toko,

Ndo awɛlɛ ayɛ wekɔ oko sandji dia mba+ yelɛwɔ datɛ.

 8 Dimi lakate nte: ‘Dimi layodɛ lo toko

Dia tokimɛ sandji diadiɔ dia mba.’

Awɛlɛ ayɛ wonge oko sandji dia elowa wa vinyɔ,

Lɔhɛngɔ layɛ oko opumu w’elowa wa pɔmɛ,

 9 Ndo onyɔ* ayɛ wekɔ oko wanu woleki amɛna.”

“Vɔ waholɔ dimɛna dikambo dia olangemi ami,

Wasɛlɔ laadiko di’ɛlɔmɔ wa wanɛ walala djɔ.

10 Dimi lekɔ laki olangemi ami,+

Ndo nsaki kande kekɔ dikambo diami.

11 Olangemi ami le, yaka

Yete totombe yema otsha lo oswe;

Totodjasɛ l’atei wa tosongosongo+ ta hɛna.

Dia tenda kana ɔkɔdi wa vinyɔ wambɔmɔnga,

Kana alɛmbɔlɛmbɔ wambɔmbɔla,+

Kana pɔmɛgranatɛ yambodja alɛmbɔlɛmbɔ.+

Lɛkɔ kayomotokɛnya ngandji kakokami.+

13 Mandrangɔrɛ+ wopola nsolo kawɔ;

Weho tshɛ w’elowa+ w’amɛna wekɔ lo asoko aso.

W’eyoyo kana w’edjedja,

Wakamakoombɛ wɛ olangemi ami.
