9 Dem go serve mi wey bi di Oga dia God
and na one of David shidren-shidren, go bi dia king.
10 My pipol, make una nor fear;

I go save una from di far land
where una dey as prisonas.
Una go kom back to una house
kon stay for peace and nobody go make una fear again.
11 I go save and dey with una.
I go distroy all di nashons where I skata una go,
but I nor go distroy una finish.
I go ponish una, but I go do am small-small.
Yes! I nor go let una go without ponishment.

12 God tell en pipol,
“Dem nor go fit cure una wound
and una sore go dey forever.
13 Nobody go kare for una or cure una sore;

14 Doz wey love una, don forget una;

bikos I don attack una like una enemy.
Una ponishment go sirious well-well,

15 Make una nor komplain about una sore again,
bikos e nor get cure.
I dey ponish una like dis,
bikos una wikedness and sin, too mush.
16 But naw, doz wey distroy una,
dem go distroy dem too
and dem go karry all una enemies
go Babilon as prisonas.
Dem go opress doz wey dey opress una
and doz wey tif from una,

17 And even doh una enemies sey,
‘Zion nor mean anytin and nobody kare about am,’
I go make una well again kon heal una wound.
Mi, wey bi God, don tok.”
18 God sey,
“I go bring my pipol kom back to dia land
kon sorry for dem.
Dem go build Jerusalem again
and di king palis go dey as e bi before.
19 Di pipol wey dey stay der go sing,
praiz and dem go shaut for joy.
My blessing go make dem many well-well
and e go bring honor for dem.
20 Dia shidren-shidren go bi as dem bi before
and dem go always dey my present,

21 Dia leaders go kom from dia own nashon
and dia prince go bi dia own pipol.
E go kom meet mi wen I invite am,

22 Dem go bi my pipol
and I go bi dia God.
