7 “Kwɛ bɔ ni onaji yɔɔ fɛo yɛ otokotai lɛ amli,

Bo oblayoo kpakpa!

Oshuɔ yɛ kokloo tamɔ hewulamɔnii

Ni ŋaalɔ kɛ eniji fee.

Omusu tamɔ wiiti ni abua naa,

Ni akɛ lili fɔfɔii ebɔle he.

 3 Ofufɔi enyɔ lɛ tamɔ adowa bii enyɔ,

Adowa bii haaji.+

Ohiŋmɛii+ tamɔ kpaakpoi ni yɔɔ Heshbon+

Ni yɔɔ Bat-rabim agbó lɛ masɛi lɛ.

Ogugɔ tamɔ Lebanon mɔɔ

Ni hiɛ kwɛɔ Damasko lɛ.

 5 Oyitso ma onɔ tamɔ Karmel,+

Ni oyitsɔi edɔrɔdɔrɔi+ tamɔ kooloo hetsɔi ni hiɛ pɛpol kɔla.+

 6 Kwɛ bɔ ni ohe yɔɔ fɛo kɛ akɔnɔ,

Bo yoo ni misumɔɔ, ota nibii ni yɔɔ fɛo fɛɛ anɔ!

 7 Otamɔ tɛŋ tso,*

Ni ofufɔi tamɔ deeti aduawa kushai.+

 8 Mikɛɛ akɛ, ‘Makwɔ tɛŋ tso* lɛ,

Koni mamɔ eduawai kushai lɛ amli.’

Ofufɔ afee tamɔ wain yibii kushai ahã mi,

Ni mumɔ ni jɛɔ ogugɔŋ lɛ aje ŋma tamɔ apol ahã mi,

 9 Ni onaabu hu afee tamɔ wain kpakpa ahã mi.”

“Ekpeleke shi yɔɔ yɛ misuɔlɔ lɛ sɛŋ,

Etsere eshwie mɛi ni ewɔ lɛ anaa blɛoo.

10 Misuɔlɔ lɛ nɔ ji mi,+

Ni miji mɔ ni eshweɔ.

11 Misuɔlɔ, ba,

Hã wɔya ŋa lɛ nɔ;

Hã wɔyahi kofer fɔfɔii lɛ ateŋ.+

12 Hã wɔte shi mra ni wɔya wain ŋmɔji lɛ amli

Ni wɔyakwɛ kɛji wain tsei lɛ etsɛ̃* lo,

Kɛji wain tsei lɛ egba fɔfɔii lo,+

Kɛji pomegranet tsei lɛ egba fɔfɔii lo.+

13 Mandrek* yibii+ lɛ miifã ŋma;

Aduawai srɔtoi fɛɛ ni hi fe fɛɛ lɛ yɛ wɔshinai lɛ anaa.+

Ehei kɛ ememeji,

Misuɔlɔ, mikɛto mihã bo.
