Ninewe ntua ne n’ahweaseɛ
1 Ninewe, deɛ ɔbɔ pete no reforo aba wo so.
Sra nsraban a emu yɛ den,
wɛn ɔkwan,
bɔ abɔsoɔ,
hyɛ w’ahoɔden mu den yie.
2 (Na AWURADE de Yakob kɛseyɛ resane aba
sɛ Israel kɛseyɛ;
ɔno a afomfafoɔ afom no afa,
na wɔasɛe no bobe mman).
3 Ne nnɔmmarima kyɛm ho abere,
akofoɔ no firafira kɔbene,
nteaseɛnam no yɛ dadeɛ gya,
ɛda a ɔsiesie dɔm no,
na wɔwoso pea nnua;
4 nteaseɛnam bɔ dam mmɔntene so,
ɛminiminam mprama so;
ɛho te sɛ tɛnee,
ɛnenam sɛ anyinam.
5 Ɔfrɛfrɛ n’akofoɔ atitire,
wɔsuntisunti wɔn nanteɛ mu;
wɔde ahoɔherɛ kɔ ɔfasuo no so,
na wɔde osuhyɛ si hɔ,
6 nanso wɔabue nsubɔntene no ano aponkɛseɛ no,
na ahodwirie aba ahemfie.
7 Na wɔahyɛ no saa, wɔapa Ninewe ho, wɔafa no kɔ, na
ne mmaawa si apini
sɛdeɛ mmuruburo
pempem wɔn kokoɔ.
8 Na Ninewe te sɛ ɔtadeɛ
firi ne tete nna mu; na wɔn de ɛ, wɔdwane.
Monnyina, monnyina!
Na obiara nnane n’ani.
9 Momfom dwetɛ,
momfom sika!
Na ahonyadeɛ no nni awieeɛ,
nnwinneɛ afɛfɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ duru.
10 Hwɛ, Ninewe sɛdeɛ woada mpan, woayɛ hunu na woadane amamfo,
na w’akoma ahodwo na wo nankoroma hinhim,
w’asene mu nyinaa yɛ wo ya,
ne sɛdeɛ w’anim asiam fitaa.
11 Ɛhe na gyata tenabea no wɔ
ne gyataburuwa adidibea a anka ɛwɔ hɔ no,
deɛ gyatanini ne gyatabereɛ
ne gyata ba nenam hɔ a obi nni hɔ a oyi wɔn hu no?
12 Gyata tetee mu maa ne mma
na ɔmia maa n’abereɛ, na ɔde nteteeɛ hyɛɛ n’atu mu amaama,
na ɔde deɛ ɔtetee mu no
hyehyɛɛ ne tenabea.
13 Hwɛ, me ne wo anya, asafo AWURADE asɛm nie, na mɛma ne nteaseɛnam ahye wisie mu, na afena bɛdi w’agyataburuwa no; na mɛtwa wo fom adeɛ no afiri asase so, na wɔrente w’abɔfoɔ no nne bio.
