[1] Waaqayyoon jajadhaa! Waaqayyo keenya jajatanii faarfachuun attam gaarii dha! Isa jajachuun namatti in tola, in ta'as.
[2] Waaqayyo, Yerusaalemin deebisee in ijaara; namoota Israa'el warra bittimfaman walitti in qaba.
[3] Inni warra garaan isaanii cabee in fayyisa, madaa isaaniis walitti qabee in hidhaaf.
[4] Urjoota isatu lakkaa'ee kaa'e, hunduma isaaniis maqaa maqaadhaan in waama.
[5] Gooftaan keenya guddaa dha, aangoo guddaas qaba; hubannaan isaa hammana hin jedhamu.
[6] Waaqayyo, warra gad deebi'an ol in qaba; warra jal'oota garuu lafatti in dabala.
[7] Faarfachuudhaan Waaqayyoof galata galchaa, kiraara rukutuudhaan Waaqayyo keenya faarfadhaa!
[8] Inni waaqatti duumessoota in uffisa, lafa bokkaa in argachiisa, tulloota irratti marga in biqilcha.
[9] Inni horiidhaaf nyaata isaanii in kenna ilmaan qurruus yeroo iyyanitti isaan in soora.
[10] Inni jabina fardaatti hin gammadu, miillaan fiiguun namaas isatti hin tolu.
[11] Warri Waaqayyoon sodaatanii gaarummaa isaas abdiidhaan eeggatan garuu isatti in tolu.
[12] Yaa Yerusaalem, jajuu Waaqayyoo faarfadhu! Waaqayyo kee jajadhu, yaa Xiyoon!
[13] Innoo danqaraa balbala kelloota keetii in jabeessa, ilmaan kee kellaa kee keessatti in eebbisa.
[14] Daarii kee nagaa in godha, qamadii isa caaluunis sin quufsa.
[15] Abboommii isaa gara lafaatti in erga, dubbiin isaa ariifatee waliin in ga'a.
[16] Cabbii akka jirbii in diriirsa, qorra akka hurrii addaatus akka daaraa in facaasa.
[17] Inni cabbii akka dhagaatti gad in daddarbata, qorra sanas eenyutu obsee dhaabachuu danda'a”
[18] Inni dubbii isaa in erga, cabbii sanas in baqsa; qilleensi akka qilleensa'u in godha, cabbiin sunis bishaan ta'ee in yaa'a.
[19] Waaqayyo dubbii isaa Yaaqoobitti, seerrata isaa, wanta qajeelaa ta'ee isa duratti fudhatames Israa'elitti in hima.
[20] Inni saba biraatiif akkas hin goone; wanta qajeelaa ta'ee isa duratti fudhatame sana isaan immoo hin beekan! Waaqayyoon jajadhaa!
