Yei akyi, mehunuu ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ sɛ ɔfiri ɔsoro reba fam. Na ɔwɔ tumi kɛseɛ na nʼanimuonyam hyerɛn asase so nyinaa.

Ɔteaam dendeenden sɛ,“ ‘Wahwe ase! Babilonia kɛseɛ ahwe ase!’Adane ahonhommɔne tenaberɛne ahonhom efi nyinaa atɛeɛ.Nnomaa a wɔyɛ efi a wɔkyiri wɔn nyinaa te ne mu.

Ɔde ne nsã a ɛyɛ nʼadwamammɔ aano yɛ den no maa nnipa nyinaa nomeeɛ.Asase so ahene ne no bɔɔ adwaman,na asase so adwadifoɔ nam nʼahonya mmorosoɔ so nyaa wɔn ho.”

Afei, metee nne foforɔ bi a ɛfiri ɔsoro ka sɛ,“Momfiri, me nkurɔfoɔ,na moamfa mo ho amfra bɔne a ɔyɛ no mu,na mo ne no ankyɛre nʼasotweɛ!

Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔahyehyɛ ne bɔne atoatoa abɛduru soro,na Onyankopɔn akae nʼawudie no.

Sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ mo no, monyɛ no saa pɛpɛɛpɛ;deɛ ɔyɛɛ mo biara no, montua ne so ka mprenu.Nsa a ɔde maa mo no, monhyɛ no deɛ ano yɛ den mmɔho mmienu.

Momma nʼayayadeɛ ne nʼawerɛhoɔ nnɔɔsosɛ animuonyam ne ahonya a ɔpɛ maa ne ho no.Ɛfiri sɛ, daa ɔka sɛ,‘Mete ha sɛ ɔhemmaa;menyɛ okunafoɔ,na me werɛ renho da!’

Yei enti, nʼamanehunu a ɛyɛ yadeɛawerɛhoɔ ne ɛkɔm bɛba ne so da bi.Na wɔde ogya ahye no,ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade Onyankopɔn a ɔbu no atɛn no yɛ kɛseɛ.

“Sɛ asase so ahene a wɔne no bɔɔ adwaman, dii dɛ no hunu hye a wɔrehye no no wisie a, wɔbɛsu atwa agyaadwoɔ.

Nʼamanehunu no hu a ɛyɛ enti, wɔbɛgyina akyiri asu sɛ,“ ‘Due! Due, Ao, kuropɔn kɛseɛ,Ao Babilonia, kuropɔn a ɛwɔ tumi!Dɔnhwere baako pɛ mu, wʼatemmuo aba.’

“Adwadifoɔ a wɔwɔ asase so nso su no ɛfiri sɛ, obiara ntɔ wɔn nneɛma bio.

Obiara ntɔ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ, ne aboɔden aboɔ ne nhweneɛ pa, ne nwera pa ne ntoma afasebire ne serekye ne tam kɔkɔɔ, ne nnua a ɛyɛ hwam nyinaa ne asonse adwinneɛ nyinaa, ne adwinneɛ a wɔde nnua a ɛwɔ din ayɛ, ne ayowaa ne dadeɛ ne abohemaa,

“Adwadifoɔ no bɛka sɛ, ‘Nneɛma pa a wopere hwehwɛeɛ no nyinaa ayera, na wʼahonya ne wʼanimuonyam no kɔ, na wo nsa renka bio.’

Adwadifoɔ a wɔnyaa wɔn ho wɔ kuro no mu no bɛgyina akyirikyiri ɛfiri sɛ, wɔsuro amanehunu a ɔrehunu no. Wɔbɛsu na wɔatwa agyaadwoɔ,

na wɔaka sɛ:“ ‘Due! Due, Ao, kuropɔn kɛseɛ aɔfira nwera pa ne ntoma afasebire ne tam kɔkɔɔ,na sika ne aboɔden aboɔ ne nhwene pa bobɔ mu.

“Ma wʼani nnye ne ho. Ao, ɔsoro!Ahotefoɔ ne asomafoɔ neadiyifoɔ mo ani nnye!Ɛkwan a ɔde mo faa so enti,Onyankopɔn abu no atɛn.”
