Az why I neva let you touch her. 7 Wat you gotta do, you gotta give da wahine back to her husban. He one guy dat talk fo me, you know. Den he goin pray fo you, fo you stay alive.

Wateva Sarah tell you fo do, lissen wat she tell. Cuz bumbye, wen dey talk bout da peopo dat come from you, dey mean da peopo dat goin come from Isaac, not da ones from Ishmael. 13 An you know, fo da slave wahine boy, I goin make one peopo come from him too, cuz he come from you.”

God Tes Abraham

(Matthew 3:17; 17:5; Mark 1:11; 9:7; Luke 3:22; 9:35; 2 Peter 1:17)

1 ✡Long time afta, God tes Abraham. He tell um, “Eh Abraham!”

Abraham tell, “Yeah, I stay hea.”

2 ✡God tell um, “Go get yoa boy Isaac, da ony one you get, da one you get plenny love an aloha fo. Take um an go Moriah side. Wen you get dea, I goin show you one a da hills ova dea. Take yoa boy on top dat hill, an kill um dea, fo make da kine sacrifice wea you burn up da whole ting.”

He start fo go da place God tell um fo go, him an his boy Isaac an two young worka guys. 4 Day numba three, Abraham look, an see da place, still far yet. 5 Abraham tell his worka guys, “Kay den. You guys, stay wait hea wit da donkey. Me an my boy, we goin go ova dea. Dass da place we goin go down in front God fo show him love an respeck. Den, we come back by you guys.”

Abraham tell um, “Yeah! I stay hea.”

12 Da One In Charge tell um, “Put down da knife, no hurt da boy! No do notting to um. You was ready fo kill um cuz az wat I tell you fo do! But now, I know fo shua dat you get awesome respeck fo me, yoa God. Cuz you neva even hold back from me da ony boy you get, az why.” 13 Right den an dea, Abraham look up. He see one big boy kine sheep, dat get da horn stuck inside da bushes an no can get out. Abraham pull da sheep outa da bushes, an take him to da altar. He kill um fo make da sacrifice, an burn up da whole body. Da sheep take da place fo his boy.

14 Abraham give dat place da name Da One In Charge See Um. Dass mean, “Da One In Charge See Wat I Need An Give Me Dat.” Nowdays peopo still yet tell: “On top da mountain wea Da One In Charge stay, God see wat we need an give us dat.”

15 Da messenja guy from da sky, he was Da One In Charge! He talk to Abraham from da air one mo time. 16 ✡He tell, “Eh! Dis me Da One In Charge, an I goin make one strong promise an I da one dat make shua I fo real kine goin do wat I tell I goin do.

49 “So now, I like you guys tell me dis: You guys goin stay tight wit my boss, an do da right ting fo him, o wat? An if you guys no like, tell me fo real kine, I goin go anodda place.”

50 Den Laban an Betuel tell da luna guy, “Was Da One In Charge dat wen bring you hea awready fo aks fo Rebecca come his wife. Us guys no can tell you ‘Yeah’ o ‘No.’ 51 Rebecca stay right hea in front you fo you take her fo come da wife fo yoa boss boy, jalike Da One In Charge tell.”

52 Wen da luna guy fo Abraham hear wat dey tell, he go down on top da groun fo show love an respeck fo Da One In Charge. 53 Den he take stuff outa da bags fo give Rebecca. He give her all kine silva an gold kine jewelry an clotheses.

Dey catch um up seven days layta up country Gilead side. 24 But nite time, God let Laban da Aram guy see um inside one dream. God tell Laban, “Watch out! No say notting to Jacob, bad kine o good kine!”

Laban Catch Up Jacob

25 Jacob wen put up his tents awready, up country Gilead side. Den Laban come by Jacob, an Laban an his ohana guys put up dea tents, same place not too far. 26 Wen dey come togedda, Laban tell Jacob, “Eh! Wat you wen do? How come you neva tell me notting? You take my daughtahs wit you, jalike you one army guy an dey yoa prisonas! 27 How come you bulai me fo you run away? You steal stuff from me an neva tell me notting, aah? If you wen tell me you goin go befo time, I goin make one big party fo let you go, wit songs an tammorine an harp! 28 But you, you neva even let me kiss my daughtahs an my grankids fo tell um aloha! Dass stupid fo make lidat!

29 “I get da powa fo hurt all you guys, you know. But las nite, da God dat yoa faddah guy pray to, he tell me, ‘Watch out! No say notting to Jacob, bad kine o good kine.’ 30 I tink, you gotta hele on, cuz you tink plenny bout yoa faddah guy house. But, how come you steal my idol kine gods?”

31 Jacob tell Laban, “I was sked cuz I tink you goin take back yoa daughtahs an bus me up. Dass how come I run away. 32 But fo yoa idol gods?! If you find dem wit one a my peopo, dat guy no goin stay alive! I tell dis in front all oua ohana guys: You show me one ting I get dass yoas, an you can take um back!” Jacob talk lidat cuz he neva know dat Rachel wen steal da idol kine gods.

33 So Laban go inside Jacob tent firs, den inside Leah tent an da tents fo da two slave wahines dat work fo his two daughtahs, but he neva find notting. Afta he pau look inside Leah tent, he go inside Rachel tent. 34 But befo Laban go inside Rachel tent, Rachel take da idol kine gods an put um inside da saddle fo her camel, an sit down on top um. Laban open up eryting inside da tent an look inside. He neva find notting.

35 Rachel tell her faddah “I like show you respeck, but no get huhu, aah? I no can stan up fo you, cuz right now I stay get my time dat come ery month, you know.” Laban look all ova da place, but he neva find da idol kine gods fo his ohana.

Jacob Grumble To Laban

36 So den, Jacob come real huhu an start fo grumble to Laban. He tell um, “So, wat you wen find?! You figga I goin do someting fo jam up oua ohana, o wat?! Wat kine bad ting I do to you, dat you chase me lidat?! 37 Cuz you wen go look ova eryting I get. Wat ting you wen find hea dat come from yoa house? Put um hea, in front da whole ohana fo dem see um! Den let yoa ohana guys an my ohana guys figga, if I owe you someting, o not!

38 “Twenny year I stay wit you. Yoa girl kine sheeps an goats, dey neva lose even one bebe. Yoa boy kine sheeps, I neva kill even one fo eat. 39 Wen da wild animals kill one a yoa sheeps o goats, I neva bring da body to you. I pay fo um, so you neva lose notting. You make me pay, no matta was day time o nite time dat da wild animal wen steal um. 40 Dis how was: I work day time wen too hot fo work, an nite time wen come real cold, an I no can sleep. 41 Yeah, dass wat happen to me, da twenny year I stay wit you. I wen work fourteen year fo marry yoa two daughtahs, plus six year fo pay you fo da sheeps an goats. An den, you change my pay plenny times.

42 “But da God dat my faddah pray to, dass da God fo Abraham too. He da One dat make Isaac sked an shaking cuz he so awesome. He stay wit me. If he neva stay wit me, you no give me notting, an tell me fo go way. But God, he see da real hard time I get, an da real hard work I do. Las nite, wat he tell you wass right, cuz he da Judge.”

Laban An Jacob Make
One Strong Promise To Each Odda

43 Den Laban tell Jacob dis: “Kay den. Da wahines, dey my daughtahs. Da kids, dey my grankids. Da sheeps an goats, dey my sheeps an goats. Eryting you see, mines. But wat? I no can do notting now bout my daughtahs, an da kids dey wen born. 44 So come. We go make one deal, me an you. We put up someting so erybody goin know wat wen happen hea wit me an you.”

45 So Jacob take one big rock an put um up jalike one pos. 46 Den Jacob tell his ohana guys, “Go bring some mo rocks.” So dey get odda rocks an make one big pile. Right dea by da pile, Jacob guys an Laban guys wen eat togedda. 47 Laban give dat pile a rocks da name Yegar-Sahaduta, dat mean, “Da Rock Pile Fo No Foget Wat Wen Happen,” Aram language. Jacob, he give um da name Galeed, dat mean same same, Hebrew language.

Laban An Jacob Make

48 Laban tell, “Dis rock pile hea, fo erybody know wat wen happen wit me an you, dis day.” Dass how come get da name Galeed. 49 Dey call da rock pile Mizpah too, dat mean “Place Fo Watch From,” cuz Laban tell, “I like Da One In Charge watch you an watch me, all da time dat us no can see each odda. 50 If you make any kine to my daughtahs, o if you marry odda wahines, no matta no mo nobody dat know dat. No foget: God know wat happen wit you an me.”

51 Den Laban tell Jacob, “Look. Dis da rock pile I wen make, an dis da rock dat stan dea jalike one pos. I goin stay one side, an you stay da odda side. 52 Dat pile an dat pos, dey stay dea fo us no foget dat I not suppose to go da odda side dis pile fo bus you up, an you not suppose to go da odda side dis pile an dis pos fo bus me up. 53 I like da God fo yoa granfaddah Abraham an fo my granfaddah Nahor be da judge, if I stay right o if you stay right.”

So Jacob make one strong promise fo stick wit da deal, an he tell God, da One dat wen make his faddah Isaac stay sked an shaking cuz he real awesome, fo make shua Jacob do eryting right. 54 Den Jacob make one sacrifice to God ova dea inside da up country, an he tell Laban an all da odda ohana peopo fo come eat wit him. Afta, dey all sleep dea, up country side.

55 Nex morning, Laban wake up early. He kiss his daughtahs an his grankids, an tell God fo do good tings fo dem. Den he go home.

But Jacob tell, “Eh, brah, no need! You da boss, an you stay make plenny good to me awready!”

So he make nice to her. 4 Shekem tell his faddah Hamor, “I like you get me dis girl fo come my wife.”

Da Faddah Like Make One Deal

5 Jacob find out dat Shekem wen make pilau kine to his daughtah Dinah. But his boys stay inside da boonies wit da cows dat time. An Jacob neva say notting till afta da boys come home. 6-7 Shekem faddah guy Hamor go outa da town fo talk wit Jacob. He stay talking wit Jacob same time Jacob boys come back from inside da boonies. Wen dey find out wat wen happen, bodda dem plenny, an dey come plenny huhu, cuz Shekem make real pilau kine wit da Israel ohana wen he wen rape dea sistah, an dass not da kine ting suppose to do.

Try give her to him fo come his wife. 9 We goin make one deal fo you guys marry oua daughtahs, an us marry yoa daughtahs, aah? 10 You guys can live inside dis land wit us, any place you like live, any place you like go. You guys can make house hea, dis land.”

13 Wen Jacob boys ansa Shekem an his faddah guy Hamor, dey ony bulai dem. Dey talk lidat cuz a wat Shekem wen do to dea sistah Dinah. 14 Jacob boys tell Shekem guys dis: “Us guys no can give oua sistah to one guy dat neva cut skin. Cuz fo oua ohana, shame she marry one guy dat neva cut skin. 15 Ony one way we make one deal wit you guys. If you guys come jalike us guys, an all dem from yoa ohana cut skin, den okay. 16 Den you guys can marry oua daughtahs, an us guys can marry yoa daughtahs, an us can live hea, an all goin come jalike one ohana. 17 But if you guys no like lissen fo go cut skin, den us guys goin take her an go way.”

18 Hamor an his boy Shekem, real fas dey tink, az one good deal dat. 19 Da young guy Shekem, he no wait. Right den an dea he do how dey tell um, cuz he like Jacob daughtah plenny, an he da main guy fo all da Hamor ohana. 20 So Hamor an his boy Shekem, dey go da place by da town gate wea da importan peopo hang out, an dey talk to da odda guys from dea town dat stay dea. Dey tell, 21 “Dis peopo, dey oua fren. Dey no goin fight wit us guys, you know. Good dey live inside dis land, an go any place dey like, cuz ova hea get plenny land fo dem. Good fo us take dea daughtahs fo come oua wifes, an we give dem oua daughtahs too. 22 But fo make one deal wit dem fo live wit us guys an come jalike one ohana, all us guys gotta cut skin jalike dem. 23 An if we do dis, dea cows an dea stuffs an all dea animals, all dat goin be fo us guys! Fo dem make house wit us guys, ony get dis one ting we gotta tell we goin do, jalike dey tell us fo do.”

24 So all da guys from da town dat stay ol enuff fo dea army lissen Hamor an his boy Shekem. An dey all cut skin.

Jacob Boys Bus Up Da Shekem Peopo

25 Three day afta da Shekem guys cut skin, dey still sore. Simeon an Levi, Jacob boys an Dinah braddah guys, dey take dea swords an go inside da town, an nobody know dey stay coming. Az how dey kill all da guys. 26 Hamor an his boy Shekem, dey kill dem too wit swords. Den Simeon an Levi take Dinah outa Shekem house an go back dea place.

27 Jacob odda boys, dey go da town wea da mahke bodies stay, an steal eryting from da mahke guys houses, all ova da town, cuz az wea dea sistah wen get rape. 28 Jacob boys take all da sheeps an goats an cows an donkeys, eryting dat get inside da town an outside da town. 29 Dey take all da stuff dass worth plenny, an all da kids an da ol peopo, an da mahke guys wifes, eryting inside dea houses.

Joseph tell um, “You know, my God, he da ony one dat know wat da dream mean! So, tell me wat you guys wen see.”

9 Den da guy dat was da boss befo time fo da peopo dat give da wine to da king, he tell Joseph wat he wen dream firs. He tell um: “Inside my dream, had dis grape plant in front me. 10 On top da grape plant, had three branch.

So dat guy tell Joseph, “Eh! Same same wit me! Inside my dream, had dese three baskets wit fancy kine bread an cake inside.

Dass seven year wen erybody goin come hungry.

28 “So Pharaoh, I wen tell you dis awready: Da ting God stay show you, dass wat he goin do. 29 From now goin get seven year wen all da time goin get choke plenny fo eat all ova da Egypt land. 30 But afta dat, goin get seven year wen all dat time erybody goin come hungry. All ova da Egypt land, peopo goin foget bout da time wen had plenny fo eat. Wen no mo food, den eryting goin come poho all ova Egypt land. 31 Da time dat goin come afta, goin be real hard. Cuz wen no mo notting fo eat, erybody goin foget da time wen had plenny fo eat all ova da land. 32 An one mo ting. You wen get da same dream two time. Dat mean dat da ting God tell, garans goin happen. An he goin do um real soon now!

Joseph Tell Da King Wat He Gotta Do

33 “Az why, Pharaoh, dis wat you gotta do. You gotta go find one guy dat can figga out tings an know wat fo do erytime, an make dat guy da one in charge a da Egypt land. 34 Eh, Pharaoh! Go get some odda guys fo be yoa officer guys ova da land. Dey gotta take twenny percent fo eryting dat goin grow inside Egypt fo da seven year wen goin get plenny food. 35 From all da diffren kine food an tings dat grow da good years dat stay come, dey gotta bring togedda da twenny percent a all da crops. You da Pharaoh guy, az why you gotta give yoa guys da right fo take da good kine wheat from da peopo fo da govmen put um inside da big towns, an put guards ova dea so nobody steal um. 36 Cuz a dat, you guys goin get plenny food fo eat, wen da seven year come wen erybody goin come hungry all ova Egypt land. No good da whole land come wipe out cuz no mo food!”

Da King Put Joseph In Charge A Egypt

37 Da Pharaoh guy, he like da plan dat Joseph make. Same ting fo all da guys dat work fo da king, dey like um too. 38 Den Pharaoh tell his worka guys, “Eh! You guys figga can find one guy mo betta den dis guy, o wat?! No ways! Cuz him, he get God Spirit inside him!”

39 Den da Pharaoh guy tell Joseph, “Eh! Cuz God wen let you know all dis stuff, fo shua, no mo nobody mo betta den you fo figga out tings an fo know wat fo do! 40 ✡You goin stay in charge a my govmen. Wateva you tell all my peopo, dey goin do tings yoa way. I da Pharaoh, an I da ony guy mo importan den you.”

41 Da Pharaoh guy tell Joseph dis too: “You stay in charge now. I turning ova to you eryting inside Egypt land.” 42 ✡Den Pharaoh take da ring he use fo stamp da govmen paypas from his finga an he put um on top Joseph finga. He give um fancy linen kine clotheses fo wear, an he put one gold chain aroun Joseph neck. 43 He give Joseph his fancy horse wagon fo ride inside, da one dass spesho fo da numba two guy, an ery place he go, had guys run down da street in front him an yell, “Erybody go down in front Joseph fo show um respeck!

44 Da Pharaoh guy tell Joseph dis too: “I da king fo Egypt, an I tell you dis: all ova dis land, nobody goin move dea hand o dea feet, till you tell um dass okay!” 45 Pharaoh give Joseph one Egypt kine name, Zafnat-Paaneah, dat mean, “God stay alive, an he tell stuff,” da Egypt language. Pharaoh give um one wife too. Her name Asnat, her faddah Poti-Fera, da pries fo da Egypt god dey call On. Dass how da Pharaoh guy put Joseph in charge a da whole Egypt land.

46 Joseph was thirty year ol wen he start fo work fo da Pharaoh guy. Firs ting, he go outside da palace wea da Pharaoh guy stay, an he go all ova da Egypt land. 47 Seven year, da land wen grow plenny fo eat. 48 Da seven year wen eryting was good inside Egypt land, Joseph tell his guys fo go bring togedda all da food dey suppose to put away. He tell um fo put um inside ery town, from da fields outside dat town. 49 Joseph wen put away uku pile a wheat ery place, real plenny, jalike da sand on top da beach. Laytas, he pau count how much he wen put away, cuz too much fo figga.

Wen No Mo Food, Joseph Can Handle

50 Dat time, befo da land no can grow da food, Joseph get two boys. Asnat, she dea muddah, her faddah Poti-Fera, da pries fo da Egypt god On. 51 Da boy dat wen born firs, Joseph call um Manasseh, cuz dat soun like how fo tell “foget” in Hebrew language. Joseph tell, “God make me foget eryting bout da bad time I wen get, an foget all my faddah ohana.” 52 Da numba two boy, Joseph call um Efraim, cuz dat soun like how fo tell “come plenny” in Hebrew language.

Cuz if he go leave him, da faddah guy goin mahke.’ 23 But you wen tell us guys dat yoa slave guys, ‘If yoa younga braddah guy no come hea wit you guys, you guys no goin see me no moa!’ 24 So us guys go back by oua faddah, dass yoa slave guy too.

Fo shua, if someting bad happen to him an he mahke too, dat goin be real bad, an you guys goin make me come real sore inside, fo me go wit all my gray hair to da Mahke Peopo Place.’

30 “Az why I no can go home to my faddah dass yoa slave guy, an da boy no stay wit us. My faddah an da boy, dey stay real tight wit each odda. Az cuz my faddah goin stay alive ony if da boy stay alive too. 31 If he see dat da boy not wit us, he goin mahke, an us guys dat yoa slave guys goin be da guys dat goin make oua faddah presha out an come sore inside lidat, an he goin go wit all his gray hair to da Mahke Peopo Place. 32 Me, I yoa slave guy, but I wen make one strong promise to my faddah fo make shua I bring back da boy. I tell um, ‘If I no bring him back to you, den I goin come shame foeva cuz I do dat bad ting.’ 33 So now I like tell you: try let me stay hea an be da slave fo you an you da boss, but not da boy. Let him go back wit his odda braddahs. 34 No way I can go back by my faddah guy, if da boy no stay wit me! Eh, no make me see da bad ting dat goin happen to my faddah!”

8 Pharaoh tell Jacob, “How ol you stay now?”

9 Jacob tell Pharaoh, “Hundred thirty year I stay inside dis world. Not plenny, da years I get, an dey hard.

13 All ova da land no mo food dat time. Was hard, cuz no mo notting grow. Inside da Egypt land, an inside da Canaan land, same ting, no mo food an ery year mo worse, az why hard. 14 All da silva dat get inside Egypt land an inside Canaan land come to Joseph cuz da peopo pay him fo da food dat he sell. Joseph take all da silva inside da Pharaoh guy palace. 15 Laytas, no mo silva awready inside da Egypt land an da Canaan land. All da Egypt peopo go by Joseph an tell um, “Eh! Try give us mo food!

18 Da nex year, da peopo come by Joseph one mo time. Dey tell um, “Eh, boss, no way us guys goin bulai you. You know awready, dat all us no mo silva an you get all da animals. Da ony ting us guys get fo do now, boss, is fo make one deal fo come yoa slaves, an let you take ova da land we get fo farm. 19 No good us guys mahke in front you, an oua land come poho.

Dey eat da stuffs da Pharaoh guy give um. Dass how come dey no need sell dea land.

23 Den Joseph tell all da peopo, “Cuz I wen buy all you guys fo Pharaoh, an all you guys farms too, I goin give you guys seed now fo you guys plant um inside da groun. 24 Den, erytime you guys harves da food, you gotta pay twenny percent fo Pharaoh.

17 Wen bodda Joseph, cuz he see dat his faddah wen put da right hand on top Efraim head. So he take his faddah right hand fo change um from Efraim head to Manasseh head, cuz Manasseh da older boy. 18 Joseph tell his faddah, “Not lidat, Daddy! Da odda one, he da numba one boy. You gotta put yoa right hand on top his head.”

19 But Joseph faddah no like lissen. He tell, “Eh my boy, I know, I know. Da older one, he goin come one peopo too, an he goin come importan. Still yet, da younga braddah, him da one goin come mo importan den da odda one. Da peopo dat goin come from him, goin get mo plenny, dey goin come plenny diffren peopos.”

Da Israel Peopo Get

Outa Egypt

Exodus

1

Da Israel Ohana Live Egypt Side

(Jesus Guys 7:14)

1 ✡Dis da names fo da Israel boys dat wen go Egypt side wit dea faddah Jacob an dea ohanas:

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, an Judah;

3 Issakar, Zebulun, an Benjamin;

4 Dan an Naftali, Gad an Asher.

5 Joseph, he awready stay Egypt side, da time all da ohanas wen go dea. Had seventy peopo from Jacob ohana dat wen go Egypt wit him.

6 Laytas, Joseph mahke, an all his braddah guys too, an all da peopo from dat time. 7 ✡But da Israel ohana peopo (az Jacob dem), dey get plenny kids an grankids. Dey come choke plenny peopo an dey fill up da land.

Da New King Make Mean To Da Israel Peopo

8 ✡Long time afta, had one new king dat take ova da Egypt peopo. Dat king, he neva know notting bout Joseph an wat he wen do. 9 Da king tell his peopo, “You know wat?! Dat Israel ohana peopo, dey stay come so plenny dat dey awready mo strong den us guys. 10 ✡So! Us guys gotta be smart fo figga how fo make shua dey no come mo plenny. Cuz bumbye if get war, no good if dey go help da guys dat fight us, an afta dat, dey go outa oua land.”

11 So da Egypt peopo make da Israel peopo dea slave guys. Dey give um mean kine luna guys. Dey give um real plenny work, an make dem feel jalike dey notting. Was da Israel peopo dat wen build two towns wit plenny warehouse inside fo da Pharaoh guy (dass how dey call da king guy fo Egypt, you know). Da towns, dey give um da name Pitom an Ramses. 12 But no matta da Egypt peopo still give da Israel peopo real hard time erytime, da Israel peopo come mo plenny still yet. Erytime da Egypt guys see one Israel guy, bodda dem plenny an make dem sked.

13 Dass why da Egypt peopo make da Israel peopo do slave kine work, an make um bus ass. 14 Da Egypt peopo no give da Israel peopo chance notting. Dey make um make plenny mud fo make brick, an dey make um work long day inside da fields. An if dey no do dat, da Egypt peopo bus um up.

Da Wahines Dat Help
Da Israel Wahines Born Dea Bebes

15 Had two Israel wahines, Shifrah an Puah. Dey help da odda Israel wahines wen dey born dea bebes. Da king fo Egypt tell um, 16 “Erytime wen you stay help da Israel wahines born one bebe, an you see um ova dea on top da spesho stone fo born one bebe, if get boy kine, kill um! If get girl kine, let um live.” 17 But da helpa wahines, dey mo sked fo go agains God. Az why dey neva do wat da king guy tell um fo do. Dey let da boy kine bebes live too.

18 Laytas, da king guy tell da helpa wahines fo come by him. He tell um, “Wassamatta wit you!? How come you guys stay do dis ting, hah!? How come you stay let da boys live!?”

19 Da helpa wahines, dey tell da Pharaoh guy, “Eh, you know, da Israel wahines, dey not slow like da Egypt wahines. Befo us guys can get dea fo help dem, da bebe born awready!”

20 God, he do good tings fo da helpa wahines cuz a wat dey wen do. Cuz dey no kill da boys, da Israel peopo come mo plenny an dey come real strong. 21 An cuz da helpa wahines mo sked a God den dey sked a da king, God give dem kids fo dem start dea ohana too.

22 ✡Den, da Pharaoh guy tell all his peopo, “All da small boy kine bebes from da Israel peopo, throw um inside da Nile Riva! But da girl kine, let um live.”

2

Moses Born

1 Dat time, had one guy from da Levi ohana dat marry one wahine from da same ohana. 2 ✡Da wahine, she come hapai an born one boy. She see dat da bebe good looking, so she hide um fo three month. 3 But den she no can hide um no moa. She get one basket, da kine dey make from da tall papyrus reed plants dat grow inside da riva nex to da land. She put sticky kine black stuff all ova da basket fo da watta no come inside. She put da bebe inside da basket. Den she put um inside da Nile Riva wea get plenny reed plants inside da watta. 4 Moses older sistah go mo down fo watch wat goin happen wit da bebe.

5 Da Pharaoh guy daughtah wen go da Nile Riva fo bafe. Her an da girls dat work fo her, dey walk nea da riva. She spock da basket ova dea wea get plenny reed plants inside da watta! She tell one slave girl fo go get um. 6 Da king daughtah open da basket. She see da bebe inside, an eh! was one bebe boy! An he stay crying! She no like notting hurt da bebe, an she tell, “Eh! Dis gotta be one a da Israel bebes!”

7 Da older sistah, she go by da Pharaoh guy daughtah. She tell, “Eh, you like I go find one Israel wahine dat get milk? She can feed da bebe fo you, you know.”

8 Da Pharaoh guy daughtah tell her, “Go!” So da girl run home an tell da bebe muddah fo go.

9 Da Pharaoh guy daughtah, she tell da muddah, “Eh! You, take dis bebe yoa house. Give um yoa milk fo me. I pay you.” So da muddah take her bebe her place an feed um.

10 ✡Laytas, da kid come big. Da muddah bring um back by da Pharaoh guy daughtah. Da Pharaoh guy daughtah hanai da kid, fo him come her boy. She give um da name Moses, cuz she tell, “I wen pull um outa da watta,” cuz in da Hebrew language, “Moses” soun kinda like “pull um out.”

Moses Kill One Egypt Guy

11 ✡✡One time afta Moses grow up Egypt side, he go visit his ohana peopo, da Israel peopo. He see how hard da Egypt peopo make um work. Wen Moses stay dea, he spock one Egypt guy stay bussing up one a da Israel slave guys from Moses peopo. 12 Moses turn an look aroun an he see dat no mo nobody dea. So he wack da Egypt guy an kill um an hide da body inside da sand.

Moses Run Away Midian Side

13 Da nex day, Moses go see his ohana peopo one mo time. He spock two Israel guys, dey stay make argue. Moses tell da guy dat make da trouble, “Eh! How come you stay bussing um up, hah? Az yoa same ohana kine guy!”

14 Da guy tell Moses, “Eh! Who you tink you?! Who wen make you da leada o da judge fo tell us guys wat fo do?! Now you goin kill me, same ting jalike you wen kill dat Egypt guy, hah?”

Moses, he come sked, cuz he tink, “So! Erybody know awready!” 15 ✡An fo shua, wen da Pharaoh guy find out, he tell da police fo go kill Moses. Moses, he run away from da Pharaoh guy, all da way Midian side.

Moses Live Midian Side

Wen Moses get dea, he sit down by one puka wea da watta come outa da groun. 16 Had one guy dat was pries fo da Midian peopo. He get seven daughtahs. Ery day, da daughtahs go by da puka wea da watta come out. Dey pull up watta outa da puka an fill up da trough fo give watta to dea faddah guy sheeps an goats. 17 Get odda sheep guys ova dea dat erytime go da same place an make da girls go way an no give dea sheeps watta. But dat time, Moses stan up an help da girls pull up da watta. He give watta to da sheeps an goats.

18 Da girls, dey go back by dea faddah guy, his name Reuel. He tell, “Eh! Quick, you guys come back today! How come?”

19 Dey tell um, “Had one Egypt guy wen get us guys outa trouble from da sheep guys. Den, he pull up watta fo us guys an give um to da sheeps an goats fo drink.”

20 Da pries guy tell his daughtahs, “So! Wea da guy now? How come you jus leave um ova dea? Go! Tell um fo come hea fo eat!”

21 Dass how Moses wen start fo live wit da pries guy. Laytas, Reuel give his daughtah Zipporah to Moses fo marry. 22 Dey get one bebe boy. Moses give um da name Gershom, cuz he tell, “I come from anodda place, an now I stay living inside one diffren land,” cuz “Gershom” soun kinda like “guy from anodda place,” dea language.

23 Afta long time, da king guy fo Egypt mahke. But da Israel peopo, dey stay moan still yet cuz dey slaves. Dey yell to God, “Help!” An God, he hear wat dey tell. 24 ✡God hear how dey stay moaning, an he no foget da promise he wen make to Abraham an Isaac an Jacob. 25 God see da Israel peopo an he know wat he gotta do fo dem.

Da Bush Dat No Burn Up

(Jesus Guys 7:34-35)

1 One time, Moses stay take kea da sheeps an goats fo his faddah-in-law Jetro (he get anodda name too, Reuel). Jetro, he da pries fo da Midian peopo. Moses take da sheeps an goats way inside da boonies, Mount Sinai side. (Dass da mountain wea God show up.) 2 ✡Had one angel messenja guy from Da One In Charge show up an let Moses see um. Da angel guy look jalike fire dat come outa da middo a one bush. Moses, he stay eye um up. An he tink, “How come lidat? Get fire stay burning all ova inside da bush, but da bush no burn up!” 3 Den Moses still yet stay tink, “I gotta go look dis real awesome ting I stay see! How come da bush no burn up?”

4 Da One In Charge see dat Moses go way from da trail fo go look. God call Moses from inside da bush, “Hui! Moses! Moses!”

Moses tell, “Yeah! Dass me!”

5 Da One In Charge tell, “Stay right dea! No come nea. Take off yoa slippas. Cuz da place you stay standing, dass spesho fo me!”

God Tell Moses Wat He Gotta Do

(Matthew 22:32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37; Jesus Guys 3:13; 7:32, 34-35)

6 Den God tell Moses, “Me, I da God fo yoa faddah guy. I da God fo Abraham, I da God fo Isaac, an I da God fo Jacob.” Wen Moses hea dis, he cova his face cuz he sked fo look strait at God.

7 Da One In Charge tell Moses dis too: “I see eryting, all da hard time dat da Egypt peopo give my peopo! I hea how dey stay yell fo me fo help um from da luna guys. Yeah, I know how plenny dey suffa. 8 Az why now, I come hea fo get my peopo outa dea, fo da Egypt guys no make any kine no moa. I goin bring um outa dat land to one good land wea get plenny room fo erybody, an ery place get plenny milk an honey. I stay talk bout da place wea da Canaan peopo, da Het peopo, da Amor peopo, da Periz peopo, da Hiv peopo, an da Jebus peopo live now.

9 “Now, cuz da Israel peopo stay yell to me fo help um, I stay lissen. An I see da way da Egypt peopo stay make dem bus ass an make any kine to dem. 10 Now, go! I goin sen you by da Pharaoh guy. You da guy goin take my Israel peopo outa Egypt!”

Moses Tell God “No Can!”

(Matthew 22:32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37; Jesus Guys 3:13; 7:7, 32)

11 Moses, he tell God, “You figga I can go by Pharaoh an jus take da Israel peopo outa Egypt, o wat?!”

12 God tell Moses, “Az right! Can! Fo shua, I goin be wit you! An dis bush you see right now dat stay burn, dass da proof fo you dat I da one dat sen you. An afta you get da peopo outa Egypt, all you guys goin come back dis same mountain an show love an respeck fo me, yoa God, right hea.”

13 ✡Den Moses tell God, “But, wen I go by da Israel peopo an tell um, ‘Da same God dat yoa ancesta guys wen pray to, dass da one wen sen me by you guys,’ dey no goin tink wat I tell stay fo real kine. Dey goin aks me, ‘Kay den, wass his name?’ So wat I goin tell um?”

14 ✡God tell Moses, “Tell um dis: ‘My name, “I Stay How I Stay, an I Goin Be Wat I Goin Be”!’ Dass wat you gotta tell da Israel peopo. Tell um, ‘Da One dat get da name I Stay, dass da God dat wen sen me by you guys.’ ”

15 God tell Moses fo tell da Israel peopo: “Da One In Charge, he da same God dat yoa ancesta guys wen pray to. He da God fo Abraham, fo Isaac, an fo Jacob. Was him wen sen me by you guys.

“An no foget, Da One In Charge,

Dass my name foeva!

Dass how you goin teach yoa kids

Fo no foget who me,

An same ting fo dea kids, foeva!

Moses Gotta Tell

16 “Go now! Tell all da older leadas fo da Israel peopo fo come togedda. Den tell um dis: ‘Da One In Charge, da God dat yoa ancesta guys wen pray to, da God fo Abraham an Isaac an Jacob, he wen let me see him. He tell me, “I wen watch an see awready wat dey stay do to you guys Egypt side. 17 An now, I tell you guys dis: You guys, you get plenny presha right now Egypt side. But I goin get you guys outa all dat. I goin bring you guys anodda land, da one wea get da Canaan peopo, da Het peopo, da Amor peopo, da Periz peopo, da Hiv peopo, an da Jebus peopo. Inside dat good land, ery place get plenny milk an honey.” ’

18 “Da older leada guys, dey goin lissen you. Den you an da older leada guys fo da Israel peopo, you all gotta go togedda by da king fo da Egypt peopo. You guys gotta tell um, ‘Da One In Charge, da God fo us Hebrew peopo, he goin stay one place wea us guys can talk wit him. Now, all us guys gotta walk three day fo go dat place inside da boonies. Wen we get dea, we gotta make one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge, oua God.’

19 “ ‘I know get ony one way Pharaoh da king fo Egypt goin let you guys go—gotta get somebody mo strong den him fo put presha on him. 20 Az why I goin wack da Egypt peopo wit my strong hand. I goin do all kine awesome stuff to da Egypt peopo, right dea wea dey stay. Afta dat, da king guy goin make you guys go way. 21 ✡Dat time, I goin make da regula Egypt peopo tink you Israel peopo da greates. Wen you go way, dey goin make shua dat you guys get plenny stuffs. So wen you guys go, you no goin go wit notting. 22 Ery Israel wahine goin aks all da Egypt wahines dat get house nea dem fo give dem all kine silva an gold kine stuffs, an nice kine clotheses. An dey goin aks da odda Egypt wahines dat live nea dea house fo give dem same ting. You goin let yoa boys an girls wear all dat kine spesho stuff. Az how wen you guys go, you goin take away eryting from da Egypt peopo.’ ”

Da Stick Fo Walk Come One Snake

1 Moses tell, “But eh! Wat if da leada guys no trus me o no lissen wat I tell! Wat if dey figga, ‘Nah! Da One In Charge, he neva let you see um!’ Den wat?”

2 Da One In Charge tell, “Eh! Wat dat ting inside yoa hand?”

Moses tell, “One stick fo walk.” 3 God tell, “Throw um down on top da groun.” Wen Moses throw um down, da stick come one snake! Moses come sked an run away from da snake.

4 Den Da One In Charge tell um, “Reach ova dea an grab da tail.” Moses grab um, an da snake come one stick fo walk one mo time right dea inside his hand! 5 Da One In Charge tell, “You goin do dis fo help da Israel peopo know fo real kine dat me, Da One In Charge, wen show up in front you, an dat I da same God dat yoa ancesta guys wen pray to, da God fo Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob.”

Moses Hand Get Lepa All Ova

6 Nex, Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Put yoa hand inside yoa shirt.” Moses put his hand inside his shirt, an wen he pull um out, eh! Get one bad kine sick all ova da skin dat odda guys can catch an white jalike snow!

7 Den God tell, “Now, put yoa hand inside yoa shirt one mo time.” Moses put his hand back inside da shirt. Wen he pull um out, da skin come back regula kine, jalike his regula skin. 8 God tell um, “No matta dey no trus wat you tell afta dey see you grab da snake, an he come one stick, fo shua dey goin trus you afta dey see yoa hand dat get da sores come out good. 9 If dey no trus you still yet, afta you show um da two spesho sign, an if dey no like lissen you still yet, go get watta outa da Nile Riva, an pour um on top da dry groun. Dat watta dat you take outa da Nile Riva, wen you pour um on top da groun goin come blood dea.”

Not Easy Fo Moses Talk

10 Moses tell Da One In Charge, “Eh! Da One In Charge, try help me! I not da kine guy fo know how fo talk real good. From small kid time till now, you stay tell stuff to me, yoa worka guy. But still yet, fo me, az hard fo talk, an I no can talk real good. You know wat I mean?”

11 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Try tink! Who wen make peopo fo dem talk, o no can talk? Who wen make peopo fo dem see good, o no see good? Was me, Da One In Charge, wen do all dat! 12 Go now. Do wat I tell you fo do. Weneva you gotta talk, I goin help yoa mout. I goin teach you wat you gotta tell.”

13 But Moses tell, “Try help me, you Da One In Charge! Sen somebody you like fo do da work, but no sen me!”

14 Den Da One In Charge come huhu wit Moses. He tell Moses, “Wat bout yoa braddah guy Aaron, da leada guy fo da Levi ohana? I know easy fo him fo talk good. Right now he stay come from Egypt awready fo meet you. Wen he see you, he goin feel real good inside. 15 You goin talk to yoa braddah an tell um wat he suppose to tell. I goin help you an him talk good, an I goin teach you guys wat you goin do. 16 Aaron goin be da guy dat talk fo you fo talk to da peopo. He goin be jalike da mout fo you, an you goin talk to him jalike you God, but az me. 17 An no foget yoa stick fo walk. Make shua you carry um wit you cuz you goin use um fo do awesome kine tings fo show you know God.”

Moses Go Back Egypt Side

18 Moses, he go back by Jetro, his faddah-in-law. Moses tell Jetro, “Eh, I like go back by my ohana guys Egypt side fo check out how dey stay.”

Jetro tell Moses, “Go. I like eryting go good fo you.”

19 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Go from hea now. Go back Egypt side. Cuz all da guys dat wen like kill you befo time, dey mahke awready.” 20 So Moses take his wife an his boys, an put um on top one donkey. Moses start fo go back Egypt side, an he carry da stick fo walk wit him dat God wen use.

21 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Wen you get back dea Egypt side, make shua you show um all da awesome proofs dat I wen give you da powa fo do. Do um in front da Pharaoh guy. But I goin make him come hard head, so he no goin let go da peopo. 22 Wen dat happen, you tell da Pharaoh guy, ‘Dis wat Da Boss, Da One In Charge, tell: Da Israel peopo, dey jalike dey my numba one boy. 23 ✡I tell you dis awready, “Let go da Israel peopo, cuz dey spesho jalike dey my numba one boy fo dem pray to me.” But you tell, you no goin let um go. Kay den, yoa numba one boy, I goin kill him.’ ”

Moses Wife Get Problem Wit Moses

24 One nite, Moses an his ohana wen stop one place nite time fo go sleep. Da One In Charge meet dem ova dea, an he go by Moses an almos kill um. 25 But Moses wife Zipporah, she take one knife, da kine dey make from flint kine rock, an right den an dea she cut skin her boy.

All da animals dat us Israel peopo get, no goin get even one dat goin mahke.

Do um wea da Pharaoh guy can see you. 9 Da black ashes goin come real fine kine dus all ova da Egypt land. Goin make dea skin hurt an boils come out on all da peopo an all da animals all ova da Egypt land.”

An da peopo an da animals skin hurt an boils come out all ova dem. 11 Da Egypt pries guys no can even stan up in front Moses cuz a da boils, cuz da boils come out all ova da Egypt pries guys an all ova all da odda Egypt peopo. 12 But Da One In Charge still yet make da Pharaoh guy hard head.

Cuz a all dis, you goin know dat in all da world, no mo nobody can do wat I can do. 15 If I wen like befo now, I can use my powa fo make you an yoa peopo come sick, an wipe out all you Egypt guys from dis world. But I neva. 16 ✡So, how come I stay let you live, aah? Az fo make you see dat I get all da powa, az why! Cuz I like make da peopo all ova da world know who me fo real kine. 17 But you still yet ova an ova ack jalike my peopo ony junk, an you no let um go way!

18 “ ‘Kay den. Tomorra, same time, dis wat I goin do. I goin make one real heavy hail storm come down from da sky.

Same ting fo all da stuffs you get inside da fields, go put um wea get roof. Any guy o animal dat stay outside an no come inside da house wit da oddas, wen da big hail storm come down on top dem, dey goin mahke!’ ”

20 Had peopo from da Pharaoh guy palace dat stay sked cuz a wat Da One In Charge tell. Dey bring dea slave peopo an dea animals inside dea houses so no mo notting happen to dem. 21 Da odda guys dat no like lissen wat Da One In Charge tell, dey leave dea slave peopo an dea animals outside in da fields.

22 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Put yoa hand up to da sky fo da big kine hail come down all ova da Egypt land, on top da peopo, da animals, an on top eryting dat grow inside da field, all ova Egypt.” 23 Wen Moses put up his stick fo walk to da sky, Da One In Charge sen thunda an big kine hail.

From da time da Egypt land come one nation, neva get dat kine hail fall down on top dea land. 25 All ova da Egypt land, da hail wen wack eryting dat stay outside, da peopo an da animals. Da hail bus up all da plants inside da field, an smash all da trees inside da field too. 26 Ony Goshen side, wea da Israel peopo live, neva get hail.

27 Cuz a dat, da Pharaoh guy sen somebody fo tell Moses an Aaron fo come by him. He tell um, “Dis time, I da one dat wen do one bad ting. Da One In Charge, he do da right ting. Me an my peopo, we da ones dat stay wrong. 28 Tell Da One In Charge fo no make um hail, cuz enuff awready da thunda from God an da hail. I goin let you guys go way. You guys no need stay hea awready.”

29 Moses tell da Pharaoh guy, “Wen I go outside da town, I goin put up my hands an pray to Da One In Charge. Den no goin get thunda, an no goin get mo plenny hail. Dat goin happen fo you know dat Da One In Charge, he own da whole world. 30 But I know you an yoa palace guys—you guys no mo respeck fo God, Da One In Charge still yet!”

31 Da flax plant an da barley plant all come poho cuz a da hail, cuz da barley ready fo harves, an da flax flowa get bud awready. 32 But had two kine wheat plant dat neva come poho from da hail cuz dey not ready dat time.

No mo thunda an da hail an big rain no fall on top da land. 34 But da Pharaoh guy, wen he see dat no mo rain an hail an thunda, he come hard head one mo time, an stay jalike befo time, an he do bad kine stuff.

Anyting you guys stay grow an da hail storm neva wipe um out, da locust goin eat um all up. Dey even goin eat up all da trees dat stay come up inside yoa fields. 6 Dey goin fill up yoa palaces an all yoa palace guys houses, an all da Egypt peopo houses. You guys faddahs an granfaddas neva see dis kine ting happen, from da time dey wen come to dis land till now.’ ” Den Moses turn aroun an go way from da Pharaoh guy.

8 So da Pharaoh guy tell somebody fo go bring back Moses an Aaron by him one mo time. Pharaoh tell um, “Go awready! Make da religious kine ceremony fo yoa god, Da One In Charge. So den, who da ones dat goin go?”

9 Moses tell um, “Erybody goin go, oua young peopo an oua ol peopo too. We goin take oua boys, oua girls, oua sheeps, goats, an oua cows. Cuz fo us guys, dis one spesho religious kine ceremony we make fo Da One In Charge.”

Look, you guys ony tink fo do someting bad! 11 But az not how goin be! Okay fo da men guys go make one religious kine ceremony fo yoa ‘Da One In Charge’ god, cuz dass wat you guys stay aks fo do.” Den da Pharaoh guy tell his guys fo throw Moses an Aaron outa da palace.

12 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Put up yoa hand an hold um out ova da Egypt land fo da locust kine grasshoppas, fo dem come up all ova da Egypt land an eat up all da stuff dat still stay grow, dat da hail storm neva kill.” 13 So Moses put his stick fo walk up ova da Egypt land. Da One In Charge bring one wind from da east side. Da wind blow all dat day, day time an nite time. Morning time, had da east wind still yet, an dat bring da locust.

From befo time neva had dat plenny locust, an bumbye, no goin get any mo lidat eva. 15 Da locust bugs cova all da groun, till ony look black all ova. Dey eat all da plants inside da fields, an da fruits from all da trees dat da hail neva hit. No mo green stuff from da trees an plants inside da field, all ova da Egypt land!

16 Real fas, da Pharaoh guy tell Moses an Aaron fo come. He tell um, “Eh! I wen do one bad ting to yoa god, Da One In Charge, an to you guys. 17 So let me go fo da bad ting I wen do, jus dis one time. Pray to you guys god, Da One In Charge, dis one ting. Tell um fo take away all dis real bad stuff from me!”

18 Moses dem go way from da Pharaoh guy. Moses go pray to Da One In Charge. 19 An Da One In Charge change da wind to da west side an make um blow real strong. Da wind pick up all da locust an blow um inside da Red Sea. No mo even one locust kine grasshoppa bug lef inside da Egypt land. 20 But same time, Da One In Charge make da Pharaoh guy stay hard head still yet, an he no like let da Israel peopo go.

24 Da Pharaoh guy tell Moses fo come. He tell um, “Go awready. Go make yoa religious kine ceremony fo Da One In Charge. You can even take yoa kids an ol peopo wit you. But da sheeps an da cows, gotta leave um hea.”

25 Moses tell um, “You gotta help too. You gotta let us guys take oua animals fo us make sacrifice an burn um up.

Cuz you know, us gotta take da right kine animals fo make da religious kine ceremony we goin make fo oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us. An us guys no goin know wat kine religious kine ceremony us goin make fo him yet, till we get dea.”

27 Da One In Charge make da Pharaoh guy stay hard head still yet. Dass why da Pharaoh guy no like let go da peopo.

28 Da Pharaoh guy tell Moses, “Get outa hea! Make shua you no come back fo see me no moa! Cuz da nex time you see me, you goin mahke!”

29 Moses tell um, “Dass good wat you tell. Dis da las time I goin see you!”

7 “Den dey gotta take some a da blood, an put litto bit on top da wood outside da house on da two sides a da door, an da wood dat stay ova da door, inside da same house wea dey goin eat da meat.

8 “Dat same nite, dey gotta pulehu da meat ova da fire, den eat um wit bread dat no mo yeast, an wit vejables dat taste bitta. 9 No eat da raw meat, no boil um in watta. Gotta pulehu um ova da fire—even da head, da legs, da inside parts, eryting. 10 No leave notting fo da morning time. If still get meat morning time, burn um up inside da fire.

You gotta eat up da meat an stay ready fo get outa dea quick. From now, goin call dat da Pass Ova Kine Sacrifice fo Da One In Charge.

12 “Dis wat I mean: Dat nite, I goin pass ova da Egypt land, from one side to da odda side. Ery numba one boy dat live inside da land, I goin kill um. Da peopo an da animals, same ting. Dass how I goin show proof to da Egypt peopo dat all da gods dey pray to, dey notting, cuz me Da One In Charge!

From dat day, ery year, you guys goin make spesho trip fo make one religious kine ceremony fo me, Da One In Charge. You guys, yoa kids, an dea kids goin do dat foeva. Az goin be one rule bout how you guys goin make fo me foeva, da Passova Time. 15 From now, ery year you guys goin eat bread dat no mo yeast fo seven day. So da day numba one, you guys goin clean out all da yeast dat get inside yoa house. Cuz from day numba one to day numba seven, anybody dat eat stuff wit yeast inside dat time, dey no mo da right fo stay wit da Israel peopo afta dat.

16 “Day numba one, goin be fo all da peopo come togedda, spesho kine fo me, Da One In Charge. Same ting, day numba seven. Da two spesho days, you no do work notting. Da ony ting you can do dat time, you can make da food dat erybody goin eat. 17 You goin make dat Bread Dat No Mo Yeast Time one spesho religious kine ceremony, cuz was dat same day I wen take all you guys outa da Egypt land, jalike you one army.

Cuz anybody eat stuff dat get yeast inside dat time, dey no mo da right fo come togedda wit da Israel peopo. No matta dey from dat place o dey from anodda place, same ting. 20 Dat time, you guys no goin eat notting dat get yeast inside. Ery place you guys live, you goin eat bread dat no mo yeast.”

Da Israel Peopo Get Ready

21 Moses tell all da older leada guys fo da Israel peopo fo come by him. He tell um, “Go now! Tell ery ohana fo go pick da bebe sheeps o goats dat dey goin kill fo make da sacrifice fo da Passova. 22 Wen you kill da sacrifice, put da blood inside one bowl. Tie togedda some oregano plants fo make jalike one brush, an use um fo put some a da blood from da bowl ova yoa door, an on top da wood on da right side an da lef side a da door. But afta dat, nobody go outside da door till morning time!

23 ✡“Den, wen Da One In Charge go all ova Egypt fo kill dea numba one boy an dea numba one man an animal, he goin see da blood ova da door an on top da two side wood. Den Da One In Charge goin pass ova dat door. He no goin let da Killa Angel Guy go inside fo wipe out da peopo inside da house.

24 “From now, you guys an all da peopo dat goin come from you guys, dis yoa kuleana: you all gotta keep da rule fo dis day foeva. 25 Bumbye, you guys goin go inside da land dat Da One In Charge goin give you guys, jalike he make one promise befo time. Wen you stay ova dea, dass how you guys goin show Da One In Charge yoa love an respeck.

26 “Bumbye, yoa kids goin aks you guys, ‘Eh, wat mean dis spesho religious kine ceremony us guys stay make?’ 27 You guys goin tell um, ‘Dis da Passova Sacrifice. We stay make um fo show we stay tight wit Da One In Charge. He da one wen pass ova all da houses wea oua Israel peopo live befo time, Egypt side. Da One In Charge wen wack da Egypt peopo an kill um, but he neva touch us guys, ova dea inside oua houses.’ ”

Wen da peopo hea wat Moses tell um, dey go down on top da groun fo show love an respeck fo Da One In Charge. 28 So da Israel peopo go home an do eryting dat Da One In Charge wen tell Moses an Aaron dat da peopo gotta do.

Da One In Charge Kill
Da Numba One Boys, Egypt Land

29 ✡Da middo a da nite, Da One In Charge start fo kill all da numba one boys all ova da Egypt land. Da Pharaoh guy dat sit down on top da throne, his numba one boy mahke too. Da guy dat da army guys wen catch, dat stay inside one big hole in da groun inside da prison, da numba one boy mahke, same ting. Da animals, same ting, da numba one boy kine animals all mahke. 30 Da Pharaoh guy, he get up nite time, same ting wit all his palace peopo an all da odda Egypt peopo. Had peopo stay yelling an crying fo help plenny all ova Egypt, cuz no mo even one house wea no mo nobody dat wen mahke.

31 Nite time, da Pharaoh guy tell Moses an Aaron fo come. He tell um, “Wake up! Go way from my peopo, you an all da Israel peopo! Go make one religious kine ceremony fo Da One In Charge, jalike you guys wen tell me! 32 Yoa sheeps, goats, an cows, take dem too, jalike you guys wen tell, an get outa hea! But befo you go, tell God fo make eryting come out good fo me, jalike he stay do fo you guys!”

Da Israel Peopo Go Outa Egypt

33 Da Egypt peopo, dey all put presha on da Israel peopo fo go way quick from dea land, cuz da Egypt guys tink, “Bumbye all us guys mahke!” 34 So da Israel peopo take da dough fo dea bread no matta da yeast neva have time fo do notting yet. Dey wrap clotheses aroun da pans dey use fo bake da bread, an dey carry um on top dea shoulda. 35 ✡Da Israel peopo do how Moses tell um befo time fo do. Dey aks da Egypt peopo fo give um dea silva an gold kine jewelry, an clotheses. 36 Da One In Charge, he make da Egypt peopo tink real good bout da Israel peopo, so da Egypt peopo give da Israel peopo eryting dey aks fo give dem. Dass how da Israel peopo get stuff from da Egypt peopo.

37 Da Israel peopo, dey go outa Ramses town an dey go Sukkot town. Had bout 600,000 men guys dat stay walking, plus wahines an kids an ol peopo. 38 Had plenny guys from da odda peopos dat go wit dem too, an plenny sheeps an plenny cows. 39 Da dough fo make bread dat dey carry wit dem outa Egypt, dey bake da bread wit no mo yeast inside. Dey no mo time fo put da yeast inside, cuz da Egypt peopo wen throw um out an dey no can wait dea fo da bread come ready. Dey no mo time fo get odda stuffs ready fo eat too.

40 ✡Da time dat da Israel peopo wen live Egypt side was 430 year. 41 Wen da 430 year pau, az was da time dat all da peopo go outa da Egypt land, jalike dey one army fo Da One In Charge. 42 Dat Passova nite was da time Da One In Charge stay watch all nite, fo him get da peopo outa da Egypt land. An still yet, ery year, dat same nite, stay spesho fo Da One In Charge. So now, dat nite ery year, all da peopo dat come from Israel an dea kids stay watch foeva.

Da Rules Fo Da Passova

43 Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron, “Dis da Rule fo da Passova sacrifice. Da peopo from odda land, dey no can eat da sacrifice meat. Ony da Israel peopo can eat da meat. 44 If get one slave guy dat somebody buy, an if you cut skin da slave guy, den az okay fo him eat da meat from da sacrifice. 45 But da peopo from odda land an da guys dat ony work fo pay, dey no can eat da sacrifice meat. 46 ✡Gotta eat um inside da same house wea you kill da animal. No take da meat outside, an no broke even one bone. 47 All da Israel peopo togedda gotta make da sacrifice, same time.

48 “If get guys from anodda place dat stay live dea wit you guys, an dey like eat da Passova kine sacrifice fo Da One In Charge, dem an all da men guys wit dem gotta cut skin firs. Den goin be okay fo dem eat da Passova sacrifice fo Da One In Charge, cuz goin be jalike dey wen born from da Israel peopo. But anybody dat neva cut skin no can eat da sacrifice meat. 49 Get da same rule fo da guys dat born from da Israel peopo, an fo da guys from anodda place dat live by you guys.”

50 So dass wat all da Israel peopo do, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses an Aaron fo do. 51 Dat same day, Da One In Charge take da Israel peopo outa da Egypt land, jalike dey one army.

13

Da Numba One Boy From Ery Ohana

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses dis: 2 ✡“From now, fo da Israel peopo, da numba one boy dat born from ery wahine, make um spesho fo me. Same ting fo da peopo an fo da animals. Da firs one dat come out from da muddah, az fo me.”

No Foget Dis Day

3 Den Moses tell da peopo dis: “No foget dis day! Dis da day you guys go outa Egypt, da place wea you guys was slaves. No foget how Da One In Charge wen use his powa fo get you guys outa hea. Dis same day ery year, no eat bread dat get yeast inside. 4 Dis month in da spring time, dis day numba fifteen, you guys goin go outa hea awready. 5 Bumbye, Da One In Charge goin bring you guys anodda land. Get da Canaan peopo, da Het peopo, da Amor peopo, da Hiv peopo, an da Jebus peopo, stay living ova dea now. But God wen make one strong promise to yoa ancesta guys dat he goin give you guys one land dat get plenny milk an honey erytime. Afta you guys get dea, dis da kine religious kine ceremony you goin make ery year dis same month:

6 “Seven days, you guys goin eat bread dat no mo yeast. Da day numba seven, dass one spesho religious kine day fo Da One In Charge. 7 All da seven days, da ony bread you guys goin eat gotta be da kine dat no mo yeast. No goin get bread wit yeast any place inside da place you stay. No even goin get ferment kine stuff by you, all ova yoa land. 8 Dat time ery year, you goin tell yoa boy da story, how come you stay make lidis. Tell um, ‘I stay do dis, cuz a wat Da One In Charge wen do fo me, dat time I wen come outa Egypt.’

9 “Dis ting dat you do, goin be jalike one mark on top yoa hand fo help you no foget. Goin be jalike someting you tie on top yoa forehead fo help you no foget notting. Dass so you goin talk foeva bout da Rules from Da One In Charge, cuz Da One In Charge wen use his powa fo you guys come outa Egypt. 10 Dis goin be one religious kine ting you guys gotta do, same time ery year.

Da Numba One Boy From Ery Ohana

11 “Bumbye, Da One In Charge goin bring you to da land wea he tell he goin give you, wea da Canaan peopo stay, jalike he wen make one strong promise to you an yoa ancesta guys. 12 ✡So wen you get dea, da firs bebe boy dat born from ery wahine, you gotta make um all spesho fo Da One In Charge. Same ting fo da numba one boy kine animal dat born from ery muddah animal you get, goin be fo Da One In Charge. 13 Da numba one donkey dat born, you no can use um fo make one sacrifice. Az why you gotta kill one bebe sheep fo make one sacrifice, jalike you stay buy back da bebe donkey from God. If you no buy back da bebe donkey, den you gotta broke da bebe donkey neck. An da numba one boy from all yoa kids, da one dat stay spesho fo me, you gotta kill one animal fo make one sacrifice, jalike you pay God back fo him too.

Teach Yoa Kids Wat All Dat Mean

(Luke 2:23)

14 “Bumbye, yoa boy goin aks you, ‘Eh Daddy! Wat all dis ting mean, fo buy um back fo make one sacrifice?’

“You goin tell um, ‘Cuz you know, my boy, Da One In Charge get plenny powa, an he wen use um dat time fo get all us guys outa Egypt cuz us was slaves ova dea. 15 Cuz da King ova dea, da one dey call da Pharaoh guy, he come real hard head an no like let us guys go way from dea. Dass why Da One In Charge kill all da numba one boys all ova da Egypt land. He kill all da numba one boy kine animals too. Dass how come I stay make one sacrifice to Da One In Charge wit ery animal dat come firs outa da muddah, if boy kine. An you, da numba one boy from my kids, I pay God back fo you too cuz you stay spesho fo God.’

16 “So dass da religious kine ceremony dat us guys make ery year. Goin be jalike one mark on top yoa hand, an goin be jalike one sign you put on top yoa forehead, fo you no foget how Da One In Charge wen use his powa fo get us guys outa Egypt.”

Wat Happen Afta Pharaoh Let Go Da Peopo

17 Afta da Pharaoh guy wen let da Israel peopo go, God neva bring dem da road dat go strait to da Filisha peopo land, even was mo short. Cuz God figga, “Wen dese peopo get war, maybe dey goin change dea mind an go back Egypt side.” 18 Dass why God make da peopo go da odda way, thru da boonies by da Red Sea.

Wen da Israel peopo go outa da Egypt land, dea leada guys make ery fifty guys go togedda erytime, so dey jalike one big army ready fo fight. 19 ✡Moses take Joseph bones wit dem too. Dass cuz from befo time, Joseph wen make da Israel peopo make one promise to him. He tell um, “Fo shua, God goin take kea you guys bumbye. So den, wen you guys go back, you gotta carry my bones from hea to da Canaan land.”

20 Afta da peopo go way from Sukkot, dey make camp Etam side, nex to da boonies. 21 Da One In Charge, he stay go in front a da peopo. Day time, had one cloud dat go from da groun to da sky fo show um wea fo go. Nite time, dat cloud was one fire dat go from da groun to da sky fo give um light. Az how dey can go day time o nite time. 22 Da cloud dat go from da groun to da sky neva leave da peopo in da day time, an da fire dat go from da groun to da sky neva leave um nite time.

14

Da Red Sea

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses: 2 “Tell da Israel peopo fo go back an go da odda way. Dey gotta make camp in front Pi-Hahirot, wit one Egypt town dat get strong wall one side an da Red Sea da odda side, across Baal-Zefon. Dey goin make camp up side a da Red Sea, da odda side Baal-Zefon. 3 Da Pharaoh guy, he goin figga: ‘Eh! Da Israel peopo, dey stay inside da boonies, an dey donno wea dey goin go! Ery side, ony get boonies!’ 4 I goin make da Pharaoh guy come hard head, so he goin like go afta you guys. Wen he do dat, I goin use da Pharaoh guy an all his army guys fo show erybody how awesome I stay. Da Egypt peopo goin find out dat me Da One In Charge fo real kine!”

So da Israel peopo do wat God tell um fo do.

Pharaoh Go Afta Da Israel Peopo

5 Da Egypt army guys tell da king fo da Egypt peopo dat da Israel peopo wen go way awready from Egypt. Den da Pharaoh guy an all da palace peopo change dea mind bout da Israel peopo. Dey tell, “Wassup?!

Dey catch up da Israel peopo ova dea wea dey wen make camp, by da watta nea Pi-Hahirot, across Baal-Zefon.

10 Da Pharaoh guy, he stay come nea now. Da Israel peopo, dey look an see da Egypt army guys stay come afta dem! Da Israel peopo come real sked! Dey yell fo help to Da One In Charge. 11 Dey tell Moses, “How come?! Neva have enuff graveyard Egypt side fo bury us guys back dea, o wat?! So den, how come you bring us guys hea inside da boonies? Ony fo us mahke, o wat?! Wat you tink you stay do to us now, wen you take us guys outa Egypt?! 12 Us guys wen tell you Egypt side, ‘Leave us alone! We goin stay work fo da Egypt peopo. Cuz mo betta fo us guys work fo dem, den go mahke ova hea inside da boonies!’ ”

13 Moses tell da peopo, “No sked! Stan right dea an watch. You guys goin see Da One In Charge get you guys outa trouble, an he goin do dat today. You see dose Egypt guys ova dea? From today, you no goin see dem no moa, eva! 14 Da One In Charge, he da One goin fight fo help you guys. You guys, jus shut up an watch!”

Da One In Charge Tell Moses Wat He Goin Do

15 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Eh! How come you stay yelling to me fo help you? Tell da Israel peopo make ready fo go. 16 You take yoa stick fo walk, an hold um out ova da sea fo make da watta go one side an da odda side.

19 Da angel messenja guy from God, da one befo time wen go in front a da Israel army guys, he go move da odda side fo stay behind dem. Da cloud dat go from da groun to da sky, move from in front dem, an go behind dem. 20 Da cloud go inside da middo a da Egypt guys an da Israel guys, wit da Egypt army guys camp one side, an da Israel army guys camp da odda side. Da cloud come dark, an no mo da light dat nite fo da guys dat stay one side no go nea da guys dat stay da odda side.

Da Food From Da Sky

1 Laytas, month numba two, day numba 15 afta dey go way from da Egypt land, all da Israel ohana peopo go way togedda from Elim. Dey go inside da boonies Sin side. Afta you go way from Elim, firs you come by Sin, den you come Sinai Mountain. 2 Ova dea inside da boonies, all da Israel peopo grumble bout Moses an Aaron. 3 Dey tell Moses an Aaron, “Mo betta Da One In Charge wen kill us guys inside da Egypt land! Cuz ova dea, had meat fo us eat, an plenny bread! But you guys, you make us guys come ova hea inside da boonies! An now, us so hungry, we goin mahke cuz a dat!”

4 ✡Da One In Charge tell Moses, “You know wat I goin do? I goin make bread come down outa da sky fo you guys jalike rain. Ery day, da peopo goin go out an pick up food from da groun. Dey gotta ony pick up enuff fo dat day. Dass fo check out da peopo, fo find out if dey goin stay do how I teach um fo do, o not. 5 But ery week, day numba six, dey gotta bring in double wat dey pick up da odda days, fo dat day an fo da Res Day too.”

6 So Moses an Aaron tell all da Israel peopo, “Eh! Today, sun down time, you guys goin know fo shua dat az Da One In Charge, not us, wen get you guys outa Egypt! 7 An tomorra, morning time, you guys goin see how awesome Da One In Charge stay. You goin see dat he lissen, no matta you guys stay grumble bout him. You guys grumble bout me an Aaron, but az no big deal. But you guys donno, you stay grumble bout God, not us!”

8 Moses tell dis too: “Da One In Charge goin give you guys all da meat you can eat, sun down time, an all da bread you can eat, morning time. Dass cuz Da One In Charge hear you guys stay grumble bout him. Dat no mean notting fo me an Aaron, cuz you guys no stay grumble to us guys, you stay grumble bout Da One In Charge!”

9 Moses tell Aaron fo tell all da Israel peopo dis: “Go ova dea by da place Da One In Charge stay, cuz he hear wat you guys tell wen you grumble.” 10 Aaron tell dat to all da Israel peopo togedda, an wen dey turn aroun an look ova dea inside da boonies, you know wat? Wen dey look da cloud, dey see how awesome Da One In Charge stay!

11 Da One In Charge tell Moses: 12 “I hear da Israel peopo stay grumble. Tell um dis: ‘Wen da sun go down, you guys goin eat meat. Tomorra, morning time, you guys goin get all da bread you can eat. Den you guys goin know dat me, Da One In Charge, I da God fo you guys.’ ”

13 Evening time, had quail birds, an dey come down all ova da camp. Da nex morning, had dew on top da groun all aroun da camp. 14 Wen da dew dry up all ova da boonies, on top da groun had thin small kine flake, jalike da white fros wen get cold time. 15 ✡Wen da Israel peopo see um, an dey tell each odda: “Eh! Wass dat?” Cuz dey neva know wat kine stuff dat, az why.

Moses tell um, “Dass da kine bread Da One In Charge give you guys fo eat. 16 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell you guys gotta do: All you guys, go pick up how much you need fo eat. Fo erybody dat stay inside yoa tent, go get two poun.”

17 Da Israel peopo do wat Moses tell um fo do. Had peopo dat pick up plenny, an odda peopo dat pick up ony litto bit. 18 ✡But wen dey check out how much, da peopo dat pick up plenny neva have mo plenny den dey need, an da peopo dat pick up litto bit, dey neva need mo plenny. Erybody pick up ony how much dey need fo eat. 19 Moses tell um, “No keep notting till morning time. You gotta eat um all up today.” 20 But had some peopo dat neva lissen Moses. Dey keep some a da stuff till da nex morning. But dat stuff get plenny worm inside an smell haunas. Moses come huhu wit dem.

21 Ery day, morning time, dey go pick up da stuff. Erybody pick up ony how much dey need fo eat. Afta da sun come hot, da stuff melt an no can see um no moa. 22 On da day numba six inside da week, dey pick up double da food dey goin need, cuz dey need bout four poun fo one guy. All da leada guys fo da peopo go tell Moses dea peopo wen do dat. 23 ✡Moses tell um, “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell you guys fo do: Tomorra, dass da Res Day, spesho fo ony Da One In Charge. So today, bake wateva you guys like bake, an boil wateva you guys like boil. Keep wateva get lef fo eat tomorra morning.”

24 So dey keep um till da nex day, jalike Moses tell um fo do. Neva come haunas, an neva get worm inside. 25 Moses tell um, “Eat um today, cuz dis day, da Res Day, fo you guys tink ony bout Da One In Charge. Today, you guys no goin find notting fo eat on top da groun. 26 Six days you goin pick up da food. But da day numba seven, dass da Res Day. Dat day, you no goin find food notting.” 27 Still yet, da day numba seven, had some peopo dat go out fo pick up food. But dey no find notting.

28 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, “How much time you guys no goin do wat I tell you fo do, an no lissen my Rules?! 29 Make shua you guys know dis: me, Da One In Charge, give you da Res Day. Dass why, day numba six, he give you manna fo two days. On da Res Day, you gotta stay home. No go out fo pick up food, Day Numba Seven.” 30 So, da peopo res, da day numba seven.

31 ✡Da Israel ohana peopo give da stuff da name “Manna,” cuz soun kinda like “Wass dat?” dea language. Look kinda like coriander seed, white kine, an taste kinda like cracka wit litto bit honey. 32 Moses tell, “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell you fo do. Keep some a da manna, two poun, fo all da peopo dat goin come from you guys bumbye, foeva. Dass so da peopo goin see da bread I wen give you guys fo eat inside da boonies, da time I bring you guys outa da Egypt land.”

33 ✡Den Moses tell Aaron, “Take one jar. Put two poun manna inside. Put um in front Da One In Charge, fo keep um fo all da peopo dat goin come from dese guys bumbye, foeva.” 34 Aaron do wat Da One In Charge tell Moses. Aaron put da manna in front da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal God Wen Make, fo keep um. 35 ✡Da Israel peopo eat da manna fo forty year, all da time till dey get to da land wea dey goin make house. Wen dey come jus outside da Canaan land, den no mo da manna no moa. 36 (Need ten two-quart kine measure fo make one efah, you know.)

Da Peopo No Mo Watta

1 ✡Afta da Israel peopo stay inside da boonies Sin side, dey all go way from dea togedda. Erytime Da One In Charge tell um fo stop one place, dey make camp dea. One time, dey camp Refidim, but ova dea no mo watta fo drink. 2 Da peopo grumble to Moses. Dey tell um, “Give us guys watta fo drink!”

Moses tell um, “Eh! How come you guys grumble to me? You no stay grumble to me, you stay grumble to Da One In Charge! How come you guys stay checking out Da One In Charge fo see if he can handle dis problem?!”

3 But da peopo dea, dey thirsty fo watta. Dey grumble to Moses, an dey tell um, “Eh! How come you bring us guys outa Egypt? Us stay real thirsty, we goin mahke! You like kill us guys, an oua kids, an oua sheeps an cows, o wat?!”

4 Den Moses, he call out to Da One In Charge fo help him. He tell, “Eh! Wat I goin do wit dis peopo? Dey litto mo ready fo throw stone fo kill me!”

5 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Go from one side a da camp to da odda side, so all da peopo see you. Take some a da older leadas from da Israel peopo wit you. Take yoa stick fo walk wit you too, da one you wen use fo hit da watta inside da Nile Riva. Go ova dea. 6 Dis wat I goin do. Wen you get dea, I goin be ova dea, standing in front you, by da big rock Horeb side. (Horeb, dass anodda name fo Mount Sinai, you know.) Hit da big rock wit yoa stick fo walk fo get watta come outa da big rock. Den da peopo goin drink da watta.”

Dass wat Moses do, an da older leada guys from da Israel peopo stay watch him.

7 Da peopo give dat place da name Massah, cuz mean “Check Um Out.” Dey call um Meribah too, dat mean “Grumble,” cuz da Israel peopo wen grumble dea an check out Da One In Charge fo see if he can handle. Dey tell, “Fo real, Da One In Charge stay wit us guys, o not?”

Da Amalek Peopo Go Afta Da Israel Peopo

8 Wen da Israel peopo stay ova dea Refidim side, da Amalek peopo come an attack dem. 9 Moses tell Joshua, “Pick some guys fo go wit you, an go fight wit da Amalek peopo. I goin go up da top a da hill tomorra an stan dea, an I goin take da stick fo walk God wen tell me fo use befo time.”

10 Da nex day, Joshua do wat Moses tell um fo do. Him an his guys go fight da Amalek guys. Same time, Moses go up to da top a da hill wit Aaron an Hur. 11 Erytime Moses hold up his arms, da Israel army guys start fo win, an erytime Moses put his arms down, da Amalek peopo start fo win. 12 But Moses arms come tired. Den Aaron an Hur get one rock an put um unda him fo sit down on top. Aaron, he stan one side, an Hur da odda side, an dey hold up Moses arms. Dass how dey keep his arms up till da sun go down. 13 So Joshua dem, dey win da fight. Dey beat da Amalek guys an kill um wit dea swords.

14 ✡Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Eh! I goin tell you one ting. Write dis inside one book, so nobody goin foget! Tell Joshua dis wen you write um: ‘Da Amalek peopo, I goin wipe out dea name, so nobody all ova da world no goin foget who dem!’ ”

15 Den Moses pile up stones ova dea fo make one altar place. He call dat place “Da One In Charge, jalike one war flag fo me.” 16 Moses tell, “Da Amalek guys wen put up dea hands in front Da One In Charge throne cuz dey huhu! Da One In Charge, he goin make war agains da Amalek peopo an all da peopo dat goin come from dem, foeva!”

18

2 ✡(Befo Moses go outa Egypt, he sen his wife Zipporah back wit her faddah Jetro. An Jetro take her in, 3 ✡her an her two boys. Da numba one boy get da name Gershom, cuz his faddah Moses tell, “I stay live anodda land, not da place wea I get rights.” “Gershom” soun kinda like “live wea no mo rights,” Hebrew language. 4 Da odda boy get da name Eliezer, cuz Moses tell, “Da God dat my faddah pray to befo time, he da One help me, cuz he get me outa trouble wen da Pharaoh guy like kill me.” “Eliezer” soun jalike “My God, da helpa,” Hebrew language.)

5 So Moses faddah-in-law Jetro, he go fo see Moses. Him an Moses wife an boys go ova dea inside da boonies, da place Moses stay make camp down side God Mountain, dass Mount Sinai. 6 Jetro sen somebody fo go tell Moses, “Dis me, Jetro, yoa faddah-in-law!

He take da peopo outa dea fo dem no gotta be slaves fo da Egypt peopo! 11 Now I know fo shua, dat Da One In Charge, mo importan den all da odda gods, no matta da Egypt peopo make any kine to you guys!” 12 Den Jetro bring one animal an kill um ova dea an burn um up fo make one sacrifice fo God. He make one diffren kine sacrifice fo show he stay tight wit God. Aaron, wit da older leada guys fo da Israel peopo, come dea too. Dey all eat togedda wit Moses faddah-in-law in front God.

13 Da nex day, Moses sit down in front da peopo fo judge dem. Da peopo stay stan ova dea by Moses from morning time to evening time. 14 But wen Moses faddah-in-law see all da stuffs Moses stay do fo da peopo, he tell Moses, “Eh! Wass all dis you stay do fo da peopo? How come you da ony guy dat stay do dat? All da peopo, how come dey gotta stay stan ova dea by you from morning time to evening time?!”

15 Moses tell his faddah-in-law, “Da peopo, dey come by me fo find out wat God like dem fo do. 16 Erytime dey get problem, dey come in front me, an I figga wat guy stay right an wat guy stay wrong. I make um know da tings God tell dey gotta do, an I tell um wat da Rules From God mean, weneva dey aks me bout dat.”

17 But Moses faddah-in-law tell Moses, “Az no good, wat you do! 18 You ony goin come real tired an come wipe out. You goin make da peopo come tired too. Yoa job, too much fo you handle. You not strong enuff fo do um by you ony!

19 “So now, lissen wat I tell! I goin tell you wat you gotta do, an I like fo God help you fo do um! Yoa job, you gotta be da one dat talk fo da peopo to God. Wen dey like go see da judge, you da one fo find out wat God tell bout dat an tell um. 20 Tell um bout da bad tings dat goin happen if dey no do jalike da Rules tell, an teach um da Rules. Make shua dey know da right stuff fo do, an da kine tings dey suppose to do. 21 Same time, from all da peopo, go find an pick guys dat can handle dis job. Pick da kine dat stay sked weneva dey stay in front God cuz dey get awesome respeck fo him. Dey gotta be da kine guys you can trus, an dat no goin make any kine jus fo get plenny money. Make some a dem da main leada guys fo tousan peopo, an odda ones da main leada guys fo hundred peopo, fifty peopo, an ten peopo. 22 Let dem be da regula judges fo da peopo. But if get someting big fo judge, tell um fo bring um in front you. Da manini kine stuff, tell um fo dem figga out demself how fo judge um. Dass how goin make um mo easy fo you, cuz dey goin work togedda wit you! 23 If you do dat, an God stay tell you wat fo do, den you goin handle eryting good. Same ting fo all da peopo, afta dey talk to da judge guys, wen dey go home, eryting goin be good fo dem too.”

24 Moses lissen his faddah-in-law. He do eryting da guy tell um fo do. 25 Moses pick da guys dat can handle dat kine job, from all da Israel peopo. He make dem da main leada guys fo da peopo, fo tousan peopo, hundred peopo, fifty peopo, an ten peopo. 26 Dey come da regula judges fo da peopo. Da hard kine stuff dey take to Moses fo judge. All da manini kine stuff, dey judge um.

27 Afta, Moses tell his faddah-in-law “Aloha,” an da faddah-in-law go back his place.

Afta Moses tell God wat da peopo wen promise fo do, 10 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Go by da peopo. Today an tomorra, you goin make dem come spesho fo me. An dey gotta wash dea clotheses, too. 11 Da day numba three, dey gotta be ready! Cuz dat day, me, Da One In Charge, goin come down on da top a Mount Sinai, inside one heavy cloud in front all da peopo. 12 ✡You gotta show da peopo wea no can go, all aroun da mountain.

An he no need pay you notting fo let um go. 3 Wen you buy da slave guy, if he no mo wife, den wen he not yoa slave no mo he can go. Wen you buy one married guy, den wen he not yoa slave no moa, him an his wife can go. 4 If da slave owna guy give da slave guy one wife, an she born kids, den wen da slave guy not one slave no moa, da wife an da kids gotta stay wit da slave owna guy. Ony da guy go, da wife stay wit da slave owna guy.

5 But if da slave guy tell, “I get plenny love an aloha fo my owna guy, an fo my wife an my kids. I no like go way from hea an no be one slave no moa,” 6 den da slave owna guy gotta take da slave guy in front God.

Den da slave guy goin stay one slave wit da owna guy till he mahke.

7 Wen one guy sell his girl fo her come one slave, get one diffren rule fo wat she gotta do fo no be one slave no moa. Az not da same jalike da rule fo da slave guys. 8 If da guy dat own her tell, “Dis wahine, she fo me,” but den tink she no good, he gotta let her ohana buy her back. Da slave owna no can sell her to one guy from anodda place, cuz he buy her fo him, but den he no get respeck fo her no moa, da way he suppose to do. 9 If he buy her fo his boy, den jalike she not one slave.

She not one slave no moa, an she no need pay da guy money notting fo let her go.

20 If one slave owna take one stick an go bus up his slave guy o his slave wahine, an dey mahke right den an dea, gotta punish da guy dat bus um up. 21 But, if da bus up slave guy o wahine stay alive one-two day moa, den no need punish da slave owna guy fo wat he wen do, cuz he own um.

If he kill somebody, kill him too.

24 ✡If he jam up somebody eye, jam up his eye too,

One eye fo one eye,

One teet fo one teet,

One hand fo one hand,

One feet fo one feet,

No can make odda oil wit da same stuffs inside, o da same measures.

Cuz dat guy Moses, da one dat wen get us outa da Egypt land, we donno wat happen to him!”

2 Aaron tell um, “Kay den. Take off da gold earrings dat you guys wifes an boys an daughtahs get, an bring um ova hea by me.” 3 So all da peopo take off dea gold earrings an bring um by Aaron. 4 ✡Aaron take da earrings. He melt da gold, an wit one tool, he make one idol god dat look jalike one bebe bull.

Da peopo tell, “Eh, all you Israel peopo! Dis, yoa idol god! Dis, az one a da gods wen bring you guys outa da Egypt land!”

5 Wen Aaron see how dey like dis, he build one altar in front da idol god. He tell erybody, “Tomorra, we make one spesho religious kine ceremony fo Da One In Charge!” 6 ✡So da nex day, early morning time, da peopo make sacrifices fo da idol god an burn da sacrifices, an dey bring odda kine sacrifices to da idol god fo show dat eryting good wit him an dem. Den dey sit down an party an drink plenny. Den dey start fo fool aroun.

11 ✡But Moses, he beg Da One In Charge, his God, fo no do dat. He tell, “You, you Da One In Charge. How come you stay huhu wit yoa peopo? You wen get dem outa da Egypt land, an you use plenny powa an come strong fo do dat. 12 If you go wipe um out, da Egypt peopo goin tell, ‘Dat god fo da Israel peopo, fo shua he wen like make bad to his peopo. Cuz wen he take um outa oua Egypt land, was ony fo kill um inside da mountains an wipe um out fo dem no stay inside da world.’

“Cool head! No stay mad. Change yoa mind an no do bad tings to yoa peopo. 13 ✡Tink bout Abraham, Isaac, an Israel, da guys dat work fo you befo time. You wen make one strong promise bout wat you goin do. You tell dat you fo real kine goin do wat you tell you goin do fo dem. You tell dem, ‘I goin make da peopo dat goin come from you come real plenny. Dey goin be jalike da zillion stars inside da sky.

18 But Moses tell,

“Dass not da kine song fo wen you win da war,

An az not da kine song fo wen you lose da war.

Moses Punish Da Peopo

(Jesus Guys 7:40)

19 Wen Moses come nea da camp, he see da idol kine god dat look jalike one bebe bull, an da peopo stay dancing in front. Moses come real huhu. He throw down da flat stones he stay carry, an broke um up, right dea down by da mountain. 20 An den Moses take da idol god dey wen make, dat look jalike one bebe bull, an he burn um up.

Dey Kill Da Peopo

25 Moses see dat da peopo stay run wild, an Aaron da one wen let um do dat, an Moses know dat all da peopo dat stay agains dem stay laugh at um. 26 So Moses go stan by da camp gate, an yell, “Erybody dat stay stick wit Da One In Charge, come ova hea by me!” All da Levi ohana guys come togedda by Moses.

27 Moses tell da Levi guys, “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel ohana, tell. Go get yoa swords an tie um on top yoa belt. Den go all ova da camp, one side to da odda side an back, all da way to da camp gates. Go kill da idol god guys, no matta dey yoa braddah guys, an yoa neighba guys, an yoa ohana guys!” 28 Da Levi ohana guys do wat Moses tell um fo do. Dat day, bout 3,000 guys mahke.

Moses Tell God Fo Let Go Da Peopo

30 Da nex day, Moses tell da peopo, “Da stuff you guys wen do, was plenny bad. Still yet, I goin go back up da mountain by Da One In Charge. Maybe I can do someting fo him let you guys go fo da bad ting you wen do, an hemo yoa shame, fo make you guys come pono wit him one mo time.”

31 So Moses go back by Da One In Charge. He tell, “Try help me! Dese peopo, dey wen do plenny bad ting cuz dey make one gold idol god fo dem!

32 ✡“But now, fo da bad ting dey wen do, if you like let um go an hemo dea shame cuz a dat, az up to you. If you no like let um go, mo betta you wipe out my name too from inside yoa book!”

Take da peopo da place I wen tell you fo go. Goin get one angel messenja guy from me dat goin go in front a you.

35 An, az wat Da One In Charge do. Da One In Charge make da real bad sick dat wack da peopo, cuz a wat dey wen do wit da idol god dat look jalike one bebe bull, da one Aaron make.

33

Da Peopo Go Way From Mount Sinai

Go up da land wea I wen make one strong promise to Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob: ‘I goin give dat land to da peopo dat goin come from you guys.’ 2 I goin sen one angel messenja guy fo go in front a you guys. I goin throw out from dat land da Canaan peopo, da Amor peopo, da Het peopo, da Periz peopo, da Hiv peopo, an da Jebus peopo. 3 Go dat good land, wea get plenny milk an honey erytime. But me, I no goin go wit you guys, cuz you all hard head, an bumbye I goin wipe out all you guys befo you get dea!”

Az why, take off all yoa jewelry now. I goin figga wat I goin do to you guys.’ ” Wen da peopo hear dis ting God tell um, dey no can handle, an dey come real sore inside, jalike wen somebody mahke. Nobody like wear jewelry cuz a dat. 6 Dass why, from Mount Sinai all da way to dea land, da Israel peopo no wear jewelry notting.

12 Moses tell Da One In Charge, “You stay tell me, ‘Go take dese peopo da place dey suppose to go.’ But you, you no let me know who you goin sen wit me. You tell me, ‘I know who you an I know yoa name. I wen check you out an I like you.’ 13 Kay den.

I goin write on top dem da same words dat da firs stones tell, da ones you wen broke. 2 Get ready fo go up Mount Sinai morning time. You goin stan in front me ova dea, on top a da mountain. 3 No mo anodda guy goin go up dea wit you. Nobody can go any place on top da mountain.

Fo wen dey do da wrong ting an go agains me an do bad tings.

Still yet, if somebody need fo me punish dem, I punish dem.

Cuz if you make jalike you sore inside, you goin mahke, an Da One In Charge goin come huhu wit all da peopo.

Dat meat stay real spesho fo him. He give um to you guys, fo take away da blame from da peopo fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an fo make dem come pono wit Da One In Charge one mo time. 18 Cuz you guys neva take da blood from dat animal inside da Place Dat Stay Spesho Fo Me inside da Tent, you guys suppose to eat da goat meat inside da spesho place outside da Tent, jalike I tell you guys fo do.”

19 Aaron tell Moses, “You know wat?! Today two a my boys wen make one sacrifice fo God. Dey make um fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do. An dey make da burn up kine sacrifice too in front a Da One In Charge. But cuz a wat happen to my two odda boys dat mahke today, you tink Da One In Charge like fo me eat da sacrifice meat, o wat?!” 20 Wen Moses hear dat, he tell, “Az okay fo you no eat da meat.”

Az pilau fo him.

5 ✡“Wen somebody mahke, da pries guys betta not shave part a da hair from dea head, o shave off da edge a dea beard, o cut dea bodies fo show dey stay sad inside. 6 Dey gotta stay spesho ony fo me, dea God. Dey betta not make pilau my good an spesho name lidat. Cuz dey da ones make da sacrifice fo me, Da One In Charge, wit fire, an az jalike dey give food to me, dea God. Az why dey gotta stay spesho fo me.

7 “Dey no can marry one wahine dat make her body pilau cuz she fool aroun fo money, o dat her husban throw her out, cuz da prieses stay spesho fo me, dea God. 8 Tink bout da pries guys jalike dey good an spesho fo me, cuz dey make sacrifice an give food to me, yoa God. Tink bout dem like spesho guys, cuz me, Da One In Charge, stay good an spesho, an I make you guys spesho fo me.

9 “If one pries daughtah make her body pilau cuz she fool aroun fo money, she make her faddah come shame so he no can make one sacrifice. Gotta burn her up fo kill her wit fire.

10 “Da Main Pries Guy, da one dat goin get da olive oil on top his head fo show dat I wen pick him. He get da right fo wear da pries kine clotheses. He no can let his hair come hamajang, o rip his clotheses, wen somebody mahke. 11 Da Main Pries Guy no can go inside one place wea get one mahke body. He no can come so he no can go in front me, not even fo his faddah o muddah. 12 He no can go way from da place dat stay spesho fo me fo go funeral, cuz den he goin make da place dat stay spesho fo me come pilau. He get da olive oil on top his head fo show dat I wen pick him. Me, Da One In Charge.

13 “Da wahine dat he marry gotta be da kine dat neva sleep wit one guy befoa. 14 He no can marry one widow, one wahine dat get divorce, o one wahine dat stay pilau cuz she fool aroun fo money. He ony can marry one wahine from his pries kine ohana dat neva sleep wit one guy. 15 Az how he know his kids not pilau, cuz dey come from his peopo. Me, Da One In Charge make him spesho fo me.”

16 Da One In Charge tell Moses fo tell Aaron dis: 17 “Fo yoa kids an dea kids dat come afta dem, no mo nobody dat get someting wrong wit dem can come nea me, dea God, fo make one sacrifice fo me wit food. 18 No mo nobody dat get someting wrong wit dem can come nea—anybody dat no can see, o dat no can walk good, o dat get his face o his body jam up, no can make sacrifice fo me. 19 No mo nobody dat get one feet o hand dat stay all any kine, 20 o get crooked back, o one guy dat no can grow tall, o dat get someting wrong wit dea eye, o dat get da kine sore dat da pus stay run out, o dat get da olos stay smash. 21 No mo nobody dat come from Aaron dat get someting wrong wit dem can come nea me fo make da kine sacrifice dey make wit fire. Dey no can come nea fo give food to me, dea God. 22 But if get one pries guy dat get someting wrong wit dea body, okay fo dem eat da mos spesho food fo me, dea God, an da spesho food dass fo da pries guys. 23 But cuz dey get someting wrong wit dem, dey no can go inside da room wit da thick curtain, an dey no can go nea da altar, cuz den dey make da place dat stay spesho fo me come pilau. Az me, Da One In Charge, dat make da pries guys stay spesho fo me.”

24 So Moses tell dis to Aaron an his boys, an to all da Israel peopo.

22

Food Dat Stay Spesho Fo God

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses fo tell Aaron an his boys 2 “Watch out! Goin get times wen da pries guys no can touch da sacrifices dat da Israel peopo make spesho fo me. Cuz if dey touch um wen dey not suppose to, dey goin make pilau my good an spesho name. Me, Da One In Charge.

3 “Tell um dis: Fo da pries guys dat stay alive now an bumbye, if anybody from dea ohana no can come in front me, an yet dey come nea da sacrifices dat da Israel peopo make spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, you guys gotta cut dem off fo dem no come in front me. Me, Da One In Charge.

4 “If any a da pries guys dat come from Aaron get da kine sick on top dea skin dat odda guys can catch, o someting come outa dea body, dey no can eat da kine sacrifice dat stay spesho fo me, till da sick pau an den okay fo dem come in front me. Dey no can come in front me if dey touch someting dat wen touch one mahke body, o if dey get semen come out from dem, 5 o if dey touch anyting dat crawl dat make um so no can come in front me, o if dey touch anybody dat make um so no can come in front me, no matta wat make um lidat. 6 Any pries guy touch dat kine stuff, dey no can come in front me till da sun go down. Dey no can eat da food from one sacrifice dat stay spesho fo me, till dey bafe in watta. 7 Afta da sun go down, an dey stay clean, den okay fo dem come in front me, an afta dat can eat da sacrifice dat stay spesho fo me, cuz az dea food. 8 Da pries guys no can eat one animal dat awready mahke o dat da wild animals rip up, cuz dat goin make um so he no can come in front me. Me, Da One In Charge.

9 “Da pries guys gotta do wat I tell um fo do, fo dem no get da blame an mahke cuz dey no mo respeck fo wat I tell. Me, Da One In Charge, an I make dem spesho fo me.

10 “No mo nobody can eat da sacrifices dat stay spesho fo me, ony da pries guys an dea ohana can eat um. His fren dat come stay wit him his house, an da guy he pay fo work fo him, dey no can eat um. 11 But if one pries guy buy one slave wit silva, o if one slave wen born inside da pries guy house, dat slave can eat his food. 12 If one pries girl marry somebody dat not one pries, she no can eat any food dat stay spesho fo me. 13 But if one pries daughta come one widow o get divorce, an no mo kids, an her go back live inside her faddah house, jalike wen her young, her can eat her faddah food. But no odda guy can eat um.

14 “If somebody not from da pries ohana eat da food dat stay spesho fo me, an neva know befo time dat stay spesho, dey gotta pay back da pries guy fo da sacrifice, an twenny percent moa. 15 Da pries guys betta not make pilau da spesho sacrifices da Israel peopo give me, Da One In Charge. 16 Cuz dey let da odda peopo eat da food dat stay spesho fo me. Cuz den da pries guys make da odda peopo get da blame fo eat da spesho kine food, so den da odda peopo gotta make da kine sacrifice fo take away da blame. Me, Da One In Charge, I da one make da pries guys spesho fo me.”

Da Kine Sacrifices Da One In Charge
Take An No Take

17 Da One In Charge tell Moses 18 fo tell Aaron an his boys an all da Israel peopo dis: “Some Israel guy, o any guy from anodda place dat live by you guys, maybe dey like give one animal fo make one burn up kine sacrifice fo me, Da One In Charge. Maybe dey make one strong kine promise, o maybe dey jus like do um. 19 Fo make dat kine sacrifice, dey gotta give one bull dat no mo notting wrong wit um, o one boy kine sheep, o one boy kine goat. Den I goin take um an make good fo dem.

20 ✡“No bring notting dat get someting wrong wit um, cuz I no goin take dat kine fo make good fo you guys. 21 Wen anybody bring one a da cows o da sheeps fo make da kine sacrifice dat show dat dem an me, Da One In Charge, stay tight wit each odda, cuz a one strong kine promise dey wen make, o cuz dey like do um, gotta be one animal dat no mo notting wrong wit um. Den I goin take um from dem. 22 No bring me one animal dat no can see, o da bone broke, o real bad cut, o dat get sore dat get pus run out, o get rash o odda sick on top da skin. No put dese kine animals on top da altar fo one sacrifice you make wit fire fo me, Da One In Charge. 23 Wen you give one sacrifice ony cuz you like give one sacrifice, you can give one bull o sheep dat stay hurt, o grow up small. But I no take dat kine sacrifice if you wen make one strong promise fo make one sacrifice fo me. 24 You betta not give me one animal dat get dea olos stay bruise, smash, jam up, o cut off. You betta not make lidat wen you reach yoa land. 25 An you guys betta not take dat kine animals from one guy from anodda place, an make sacrifice fo give um to me fo food. I no goin take um fo make good fo you guys, cuz dey get someting wrong wit um.”

“Maybe somebody goin make one spesho kine strong promise to me, Da One In Charge, fo make somebody come my slave guy fo ony me. Den you, Moses, you gotta figga da right price fo dem pay da pries guys fo dem no come one slave. 3 You figga fifty piece silva, da way da pries guys weigh silva, fo pay fo one guy twenny to sixty year ol. 4 But if az one wahine twenny to sixty year ol, you ony pay thirty piece silva, da way da pries guys weigh silva. 5 If az one guy five to twenny year ol, pay twenny piece silva. If az one girl five to twenny year ol, you ony pay ten piece silva. 6 If one bebe boy ony one month to five year ol, you ony pay five piece silva. If one girl ony one month to five year ol, pay three piece silva. 7 If az one guy sixty year ol o moa, pay ony fifteen piece silva. But if one wahine, pay ony ten piece silva. 8 If anybody dat stay make one strong kine promise, but dey ony get litto bit fo pay, den dey goin bring da one dey promise fo give to God in front da pries guy. Da pries guy goin figga how plenny da guy gotta pay, from wat he get fo pay.

9 “If somebody make one strong promise fo give one animal, an az da right kine fo one sacrifice, dat animal come spesho fo me, Da One In Charge. 10 Da guy no can change um o give one good animal fo one bad animal, o one bad animal fo one good animal. If he make lidat, da animal he tell he goin give, an da odda one he give fo um, dey goin come spesho fo me, Da One In Charge. 11 No good somebody make one strong promise fo give one animal, da kine dey no can use fo make one sacrifice. Cuz me, Da One In Charge, I no take dat kine animal. Dey gotta give da animal to da pries guy. 12 Da pries goin tell if da animal stay good o no good. Wateva da pries guy figga fo um, dass wat da guy gotta pay. 13 If da guy goin like buy back da animal, he gotta pay twenny percent mo fo buy um back.

14 “If somebody make dea house spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, da pries guy goin tell if da house good o bad. Wateva da pries guys tell da house stay worth, den az how much dat goin be. 15 If somebody make dea house spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, an den like buy um back, dey gotta pay twenny percent moa. Den da house goin come his one mo time.

16 “If somebody like make some a da ohana land dat he own come spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, dey gotta figga how many bag seed dey need fo plant dea, fifty silva piece fo one piece land dat need two burmbag barley seed fo plant. 17 If dey make dea land spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, inside da spesho Year Fo Give Back numba fifty, dey still gotta pay da fifty piece silva. 18 But maybe dey make dea land spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, afta da spesho Year Fo Give Back stay come. If dass how dey make, da pries guy goin figga how much dey suppose to pay fo buy back da land. Dey count how many year still get till da nex spesho Year Fo Give Back stay come, fo dem no need pay real plenny silva fo get um back. 19 If da guy make da land spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, an like buy um back one mo time, he gotta pay twenny percent moa, an da land come his property one mo time. 20 But if da one dat make his land spesho fo me an no like buy um back, o if he sell um to anodda guy, den he no can buy um back eva. 21 An wen time fo da land go back to da owna dat spesho Year Fo Give Back numba fifty, from dat time da field goin be fo me, Da One In Charge. Den nobody can buy um, eva. Da pries guys goin own um.

22 “Maybe somebody make one field he buy spesho fo me, Da One In Charge. But maybe da field az not part a his ohana land. 23 Den da pries guy gotta figga how plenny da owna gotta pay fo buy back da land till da spesho Year Fo Give Back. An da guy gotta pay wateva da land cost dat same day, cuz az spesho fo me, Da One In Charge. 24 Wen da spesho Year Fo Give Back come, da land no goin go back fo da guy dat buy da land an make um spesho fo me. Goin go back fo da guy dat own um befo time, cuz az his ohana land, but he sell um. 25 Dey goin figga how plenny gotta pay fo buy back da land, da way da pries guys weigh da silva. (Twenny gerah, az one piece silva.)

26 “If get one firs animal fo born from da muddah, no mo nobody can make um spesho fo me, Da One In Charge. Az cuz da firs animal born, awready stay spesho fo me, no matta az one cow o one sheep. Az awready fo me, Da One In Charge. 27 But if da animal dat born firs, da kine dey no can use fo make sacrifice, da guy can buy um back fo wat da pries guy figga, an pay twenny percent mo fo um. If da guy no like buy um back, da pries guys can sell um fo wat dat kine animal cost.

28 ✡“But wateva somebody own dat dey make one present fo me, Da One In Charge, no matta az one slave, o one animal, o da ohana land, no can sell um o buy um back. Da whole ting stay foeva ony fo me, Da One In Charge.

29 “No mo nobody can buy back one guy o wahine dat do someting real bad an gotta mahke. Gotta kill um.

30 ✡“Ten percent from eryting dat grow up from da land, no matta da wheat o barley from da dirt o da fruits from da trees, az fo me, Da One In Charge. All dat stay spesho fo me. 31 If somebody like buy back some a da ten percent a da wheat o barley o fruits he give me, dey gotta pay da pries guys twenny percent mo den wat goin cost him fo um. 32 From ery ten animals from da cows an sheeps an goats, wen da farma guy count um, da numba ten one he count stay spesho fo me, Da One In Charge. 33 Da farma no can pick out da good one from da bad one, an no can change one animal fo anodda animal. If he change one fo da odda, den da two animals goin come spesho fo me, Da One In Charge, an nobody can buy um back.”

Da time I wen kill da firs boys dat born from da Egypt land, I make da firs boys dat born fo da Israel peopo spesho fo me, no matta guy o animal. Dey mines. Me, Da One In Charge.”

Moses Count Da Levi Ohana Guys

14 Inside da Sinai boonies, Da One In Charge tell Moses, 15 “Count da Levi peopo by dea blood lines an ohanas. Count all da boys one month ol o moa.” 16 So Moses count um, jalike Da One In Charge tell him fo do.

44 Da One In Charge tell Moses dis too: 45 “Take da Levi guys, fo no take da firs ones dat born from all da Israel peopo.

But wen dey give one part to da pries guy, dat part stay fo da pries guy.”

How Fo Find Out If Da Wife

11 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses 12 fo tell da Israel ohana peopo dis: “Maybe one guy wife tell ‘Laytas’ to him an fool aroun, an no stick wit him. 13 O if some guy make sex wit her, but dey hide wat dey do so her husban donno, cuz a wat she do she no can go in front Da One In Charge. But no mo nobody see um, an nobody catch um. 14 But if da husban start fo tink maybe she wen go do someting wrong, an az true dat she wen do um, o if he tink lidat but she neva do um, 15 den he goin take his wife by da pries guy. He gotta take one sacrifice fo her, two quart barley flour. He not suppose to put olive oil o incense wit um, cuz az one barley sacrifice fo find out if az fo shua, cuz he donno.

16 “Da pries guy goin bring her nea da Tent an make her stan in front Da One In Charge. 17 Den he goin take some watta dat dey put inside one clay jar an make um spesho fo God, an he goin mix some dirt from da floor a da Tent wit da watta. 18 Afta da pries make her stan in front Da One In Charge, he goin put her hair down, an put da sacrifice fo find out if she wen do bad kine stuff inside her hands. Az da wheat o barley sacrifice cuz her husban donno if she do someting bad o she neva do notting. An da pries guy hold in his hand da watta dat taste bitta, dat can put kahuna on top her. 19 Den da pries guy goin make da wahine make one strong promise. He goin tell her, ‘Maybe anodda guy neva sleep wit you. Maybe you neva tell “Laytas” to yoa husban fo fool aroun an come pilau so you no can go in front God, same time you stay marry to yoa husban. If az da trut, I like fo dis watta dat taste bitta, dat can put kahuna on top you, no goin hurt you. 20 But maybe you wen tell “Laytas” to yoa husban, an anodda guy dat not yoa husban make sex wit you, no matta you stay marry, an you come pilau so you no can go in front God.’ 21 (Right den an dea, da pries guy goin stop, an make da wahine make one strong promise fo let God put kahuna on top her if she wen do someting bad.) He goin tell her: ‘Cuz you wen make one promise in front Da One In Charge, an cuz he can put kahuna on top you, I like Da One In Charge let yoa ohana peopo see wat goin happen. Da One In Charge can make dis watta dat put kahuna go inside yoa body, an make yoa privates come any kine, an yoa belly swell up. 22 I like fo dis watta dat put kahuna on top you, go inside yoa opu, fo make yoa belly swell up an yoa privates come any kine!’

“An da wahine goin tell, ‘Az right! Az how goin be.’

23 “Da pries guy goin write on top one paypa, wat kine kahuna God put, an den wash um off inside da watta dat taste bitta an can put kahuna. 24 He goin make da wahine drink da bitta watta dat can put kahuna, an dat watta goin go inside her. 25 Befo da pries guy make her drink da watta, he goin take da barley sacrifice dat da wahine stay hold cuz her husban tink maybe she do someting bad. Da pries guy goin hold um up in front Da One In Charge, den bring um by da altar. 26 Den da pries guy goin take one hand full a da barley fo make one sacrifice fo make shua God no foget. He goin burn da barley on top da altar. Afta dat he goin make da wahine drink da watta. 27 If she wen come pilau so she no can go in front Da One In Charge, cuz she no stay tight wit her husban, den wen she drink da watta dat can put kahuna, da watta goin go inside her body, an make her suffa plenny. Her belly goin swell up, an her privates goin come any kine. An wen she go by her peopo, dey goin know dat get kahuna on top her. 28 But if da wahine no stay pilau inside an can go in front Da One In Charge, she no goin come hurt, an she can born kids.

29 “Dis da rule fo wen one husban donno if his wife do one bad kine ting, o no do um. Maybe one wahine tell ‘Laytas’ to her husban fo come pilau so she no can go in front Da One In Charge. 30 O maybe da husban ony tink his wife wen do someting bad. Den da pries guy goin make her stan in front Da One In Charge, an make jalike dis rule tell. 31 Da husban no goin get da blame fo notting, but da wahine goin take wateva blame she get, jalike da rule tell.”

How come you put dis kine trouble from all dese peopo on top me?! You no like me, o wat?! So you make ony me stay in charge a all dese peopo! 12 No was me wen born all dese peopo! Dey not my kids!

An bring dem inside da land dat you wen make one strong promise to dea ancesta guys fo give dem?! 13 Wea I goin get da meat fo dem?! No mo no place wea I can get meat fo all dese peopo! Dey stay cry an tell me, ‘Give us guys meat fo eat!’ 14 I no can carry all dese peopo wen no mo nobody fo help me! Dis job, too much fo me! 15 If dis how you goin make to me, den mo betta kill me right now, if you stay good inside bout me. Cuz I no like see da bad tings dat goin happen to me cuz a wat you make me do!”

16 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Bring togedda by me, seventy a da older leadas from da Israel peopo—guys dat you know stay leadas fo da peopo, an dat can write wat happen. Take dem by da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet Me. Az why dey goin stan dea wit you. 17 I goin come down an talk to you ova dea, an I goin take some a my Spirit dat stay in charge a you, an make dat Spirit stay in charge a dem too. An all dis heavy kine kuleana bout da peopo, da leada guys goin help you carry um, so you no need do um ony you.

18 “Tell da peopo, ‘You guys go make one ceremony fo come spesho fo God an get ready fo tomorra. Cuz tomorra, you guys goin eat meat! Da One In Charge wen hear you guys wen you guys stay cry, “We like somebody give us guys meat fo eat! Us guys wen live mo betta inside Egypt!” Da One In Charge, he goin give you guys meat, an you guys goin eat um! 19 You guys no goin eat um fo ony one day, o two days, o five days, ten days, o twenny days. 20 You guys goin eat um fo one whole month—till come outa yoa nose, an you guys goin hate um! Az cuz you guys no like me, Da One In Charge, dat stay right hea wit you guys! Cuz you guys stay cry in front me an tell, “How come we wen go way from Egypt?!” ’ ”

21 But Moses tell Da One In Charge, “I stay hea wit 600,000 infantry guys! But you, you tell, ‘I goin give dem meat fo eat fo one whole month!’ 22 You tink, goin get enuff fo dem even if you kill uku plenny sheeps, goats, an cows fo dem, o wat?! You tink goin get enuff if somebody go catch all da fish inside da ocean fo dem, o wat?! No way!”

23 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Wassamatta you?! Me, Da One In Charge, an you tink I no mo enuff powa fo do dat?! Now you goin see if wat I tell goin happen fo you, o not!”

24 So Moses go outside an tell da peopo wat Da One In Charge wen tell him. He bring togedda seventy a dea older leadas, an tell um fo stan aroun da Tent. 25 Den Da One In Charge come down inside da cloud an talk to Moses. An he take some a da Spirit dat stay in charge a Moses, an make da Spirit take charge a da seventy older leada guys too. Wen da Spirit take charge a dem, dey start fo talk fo God, but dass da ony time dey do dat.

26 Get two odda guys name Eldad an Medad, an dey wen stay inside da camp. Dea names stay on da lis, but dey neva go da Tent. Still yet, da Spirit take charge a dem too, an dey talk fo God ova dea inside da camp. 27 One young guy run go tell Moses, “Eldad an Medad stay talk fo God inside da camp!”

28 Nun boy Joshua, da one help Moses from da time he stay young, tell, “Moses, my boss, cut um off!”

29 Moses tell him, “You like go fo broke fo me, aah? I like fo all da peopo a Da One In Charge, get his Spirit in charge a dem, dat dey talk fo him!” 30 Den Moses an da older leada guys fo da Israel peopo go back inside da camp.

31 Den one wind from Da One In Charge start fo blow, an push quail birds in away from da sea. Da wind bring um down all aroun da camp, an get bout three feet a dem all ova da groun, to wea you can walk one day to da north, south, east, an west. 32 Dat day, an all nite an da nex day, da peopo go out fo bring in da quail. Erybody get ten donkey load o moa. Den dey spread um all ova da camp fo dry. 33 But wen dey stay pigging out on da meat, Da One In Charge come real huhu wit da peopo, an he wack um wit one real bad sick. 34 Az why dey call dat place Kibrot-Hattaavah, Da Graves Fo Da Greedy Guys, cuz dass wea dey bury da peopo dat real greedy fo odda kine food.

35 From Kibrot-Hattaavah da peopo go Hazerot an stay dea.

4 Right den an dea Da One In Charge tell Moses, Aaron, an Miriam, “Come out an go by da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet Me, all three a you guys.” So da three a dem go out by him. 5 Den Da One In Charge come down inside one cloud dat go from da groun up to da sky. He stan by da place wea peopo go inside da Tent, an call “Aaron! Miriam!” Dose two come out. 6 He tell,

“Lissen wat I tell!

‘If get one a you guys

Da way I make dat guy know az me,

I make him see someting.

I talk to him in his dreams.

7 ✡But az not how I talk wit my worka guy Moses.

From all my peopo, he da ony one I know I can trus.

8 Wit him, I can talk strait.

Wen I talk, I make shua he know wat I mean.

I no hide wat I tell, not wit da hard fo undastan kine talk.

He know how I look like, me, Da One In Charge.

So den! How come you guys no sked

9 Da One In Charge come real huhu wit Aaron an Miriam, an go way from dem.

10 Wen da cloud go up from ova da Tent, you know wat?! Miriam stan dea. Her get da kine sick all ova da skin, da kine odda peopo can catch, all white like da snow. Aaron look an see dat she get da lepa kine sick.

13 So Moses call out to Da One In Charge fo help, “Try help, God! Make her come good!”

14 ✡Da One In Charge tell Moses, “If her faddah wen spit in her face, den she wen come shame fo seven day. Kay den, make her stay outside da camp seven day. Afta dat, bring her back inside.” 15 Az why Miriam gotta stay outside da camp seven day. Da peopo no can move till dey bring her back.

16 Afta dat, da peopo leave Hazerot, an make camp inside da Paran Boonies.

13

Spies To Canaan

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses, 2 “Sen some guys fo go find out wat get inside da Canaan land. I stay ready fo give dat land to da Israel peopo. All da guys you sen gotta be da leada fo one big ohana.”

3 So jalike Da One In Charge tell him, Moses sen dem out from da Paran Boonies. All a da guys stay leadas fo da Israel peopo. 4 Dis dea names:

16 Dese da names a da guys Moses sen fo find out wat get inside da land. (Moses give Hoshea, Nun boy, da name Joshua.)

17 Wen Moses sen dem fo find out wat get all ova da Canaan land, he tell, “Go up thru da Negev Boonies, den go inside da hill land. 18 Scope wat get inside da land. Da peopo dat live dea, dey stay strong, o dey weak? Get plenny a dem, o not? 19 Wat kine land dey live in dea? Good kine, o bad? Wat kine towns? Dey get strong strong wall, o no mo wall? 20 Wat kine dirt? Da kine can grow plenny stuff o not? Get trees o not? Try bring back some fruits from da land. (Was da time fo da firs ripe grapes.)”

21 Az why dey go up an look all ova da land, from da Zin Boonies south side, all da way to Rehob north side, wea you can go Lebo-Hamat side. 22 Dey go up thru da Negev, an come Hebron town, wea Ahiman, Sheshai, an Talmai live, dat come from Anak. (Da Anak ohana guys wen build Hebron seven year befo somebody wen build Zoan town Egypt side.) 23 Wen da guys dat wen go fo scope da place come by da Eshkol Stream, dey cut off one branch dat get one bunch grapes. Need two a dem fo carry da bunch on top one pole, wit some pomagrams an figs too. 24 Dey call dat place da Eshkol Stream, cuz a da big bunch grapes da Israel guys cut off ova dea an bring um back. 25 Afta forty days dey scope out da land, dey come back dea camp.

Dey Tell Wat Dey Wen See

26 Dey come back by Moses an Aaron, an all da Israel peopo, dat stay Kadesh town inside da Paran Boonies. Ova dea dey tell da peopo eryting dey wen see, an show dem all da fruit from da land. 27 Dey tell Moses dis: “We wen go inside da land wea you wen sen us. Fo shua, ery place ova dea get plenny milk an honey. Hea, some fruits from ova dea. 28 But you know wat?! Da peopo dat live on top dat land, dey stay real strong! Da towns stay big an get strong wall. We even see some Anak ohana guys ova dea. 29 Da Amalek peopo live inside da Negev. Da Het peopo, da Jebus peopo, an da Amor peopo live up country inside da hill part. Da Canaan peopo live nea da ocean an da Jordan Riva.”

30 Den Caleb tell da odda guys fo shut up awready in front Moses, an he tell dem, “Mo betta us guys go up dea an take ova da land, cuz we can do um fo shua!”

31 But da guys dat wen go up wit him tell, “Us no can go agains dose peopo! Dey mo strong den us!” 32 An dey tell da Israel peopo all da stuff dey wen see bout da land dey scope out, an az bad! Dey tell, “Da land us guys wen go fo scope out, az one land goin eat up da peopo dat stay dea. All da peopo we see ova dea, real real tall. 33 ✡We see da Nefil peopo ova dea. (Da Anak peopo come from da Nefil peopo, you know.) Wen we look at dem guys, us guys look small, jalike grasshoppas. An az how us guys wen look to dem too.”

Da Peopo Go Agains Moses

(1 Corint 10:5)

1 All da Israel peopo yell real loud, an dey cry plenny dat nite. 2 All da Israel peopo grumble bout Moses an Aaron. Dey come togedda an tell um, “If ony us wen mahke Egypt side! O ova hea, mahke inside dese boonies! 3 How come Da One In Charge goin bring us inside dat land fo us get kill wit swords?! Oua wifes an oua kids, goin come prisonas! Mo betta us go back Egypt side den!” 4 Dey tell each odda, “We gotta pick one leada guy an go back Egypt side!”

5 Den Moses an Aaron go down an put dea face on top da groun fo pray in front all da Israel peopo dat come togedda wit dem. 6 Joshua, Nun boy, an Caleb, Jefunneh boy, from da spy guys dat wen scope out da land wit da oddas, dey rip dea clotheses fo show da peopo az bad wat dey tink. 7 Dey tell all da Israel peopo, “Da land we wen go thru fo scope out, stay real good. 8 If Da One In Charge stay good inside bout us guys, he goin take us inside dat land, wea ery place get plenny milk an honey, an he goin give um to us guys. 9 ✡But eh! No go agains Da One In Charge! An no sked da peopo inside da land, you guys! Cuz us guys goin win ova dem. Da One In Charge take away da shadow dat proteck dem awready, but he stay wit us guys. No sked dem!” 10 All da peopo tell dey like kill Joshua an Caleb wit stones. But den, Da One In Charge make all da Israel peopo see how awesome him, ova dea by da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet God.

11 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “How long dese peopo goin make to me jalike I no good? How long dey no goin trus me, no matta I do all kine awesome stuff in front dem fo show um wat kine god me? 12 I goin wipe dem out wit one bad kine sick an take away dea rights fo get da Canaan land dat I was goin give um. Den I goin make you come da faddah fo one big peopo, mo strong den dem.”

13 ✡Moses tell Da One In Charge, “No! No do dat! If da Egypt peopo hear bout dis, cuz dey know you wen use yoa powa fo bring dis peopo up from dea land, 14 den dey goin tell da peopo inside da Canaan land bout um. Dose peopo awready hear bout you, Da One In Charge. Dey hear you stay with dese Israel peopo. Dey hear dat da Israel peopo can see you, Da One In Charge, erytime yoa cloud stay ova dem, an wen you go in front dem inside one cloud dat go from da groun to da sky day time, an nite time one fire dat go from da groun to da sky. 15 If you kill all dese peopo one time, da odda peopos dat hear dis stuff bout you goin tell, 16 ‘Gotta be, dat Da One In Charge no can bring dese peopo inside da land he wen make one strong promise fo give dem, az why he kill dem inside da boonies.’

17 “Now, I like you show how strong you, jalike you wen tell: 18 ✡‘Da One In Charge slow fo get mad. He stay plenny tight wit his peopo. He hemo dea shame fo wen dey do wrong tings an go agains him an do bad tings. Still yet, if God gotta punish somebody, he punish um. An if dea kids do da same ting, he punish dem too, an same ting fo dea grankids, an even dea great-grankids.’ Dass wat you wen tell. 19 Cuz you get plenny love an aloha, let go dese peopo fo dis bad kine stuff dey stay do. Jalike you wen let dem go from da time dey leave Egypt till now.”

20 Da One In Charge tell him, “Kay den. I let dem go, jalike you aks me fo do. 21 ✡But fo shua no foget dis: Me, Da One In Charge, an I stay alive, an fo shua I awesome, an I fill up da whole earth! 22 An cuz az how I stay, I tell dis: Dese peopo wen see how awesome me. Dey wen see da awesome stuff I do inside Egypt an inside da boonies. An still, dey no lissen me, an dey tes me ova an ova! 23 An cuz dey do dat, no mo nobody from dem goin eva see da land I wen make one strong promise fo give dea ancesta guys. No mo nobody dat make to me jalike I no good, eva goin see dat land! 24 ✡But cuz my worka guy Caleb stay diffren inside, an wen stay tight wit me to da max, I goin bring him inside da land wea he wen go, an his kids goin own part a dat land. 25 But cuz da Amalek peopo an da Canaan peopo live inside da valleys, turn back aroun tomorra, an go back inside da boonies by da road dat go by da Red Sea!”

26 Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron, 27 “How long moa, all dese bad kine peopo goin grumble bout me?! I hear all da stuff da Israel peopo tell wen dey grumble an poin finga me. 28 So tell dem, ‘Da One In Charge tell, Fo shua I stay alive. An fo shua I goin make to you guys jalike I stay hear you guys talk: 29 ✡Yoa bodies goin fall down inside dese boonies an mahke—all you guys dat twenny year ol o moa, da same ones dey wen count wen dey count da census an dey wen grumble bout me. 30 No mo nobody from you guys dat stay grumble goin go inside da land. No matta I wen put up my hand an make one strong promise fo make dat yoa home. Ony Jefunneh boy Caleb, an Nun boy Joshua, goin go inside dea. 31 You guys wen tell dat yoa kids goin come prisonas. But I goin bring yoa kids inside dat land, an dey goin stay good inside cuz dey dea, no matta you guys no like take da land.

32 “ ‘But you guys—yoa mahke bodies goin fall down inside da boonies ova hea. 33 ✡Yoa kids goin take kea sheeps ova hea inside da boonies fo forty year. Dass how long you guys goin suffa, cuz you guys fool aroun ova an ova wit odda gods, till da las mahke bodies stay inside da boonies. 34 Forty year—az one year fo ery day you spy guys wen scope out da land. Dass how long you guys goin suffa fo da bad kine stuff you wen do. Dass how you guys goin find out how stay, wen I stay agains you. 35 Dis wat me Da One In Charge tell. Fo shua I goin do all dis stuff to all dose bad kine peopo dat come togedda agains me. You guys goin live da res a yoa life inside dese boonies. Ova hea, dass wea you goin mahke!’ ”

36 Da guys Moses wen sen fo scope out da land, dey come back an tell bad kine stuff bout da land. Dey make all da peopo grumble bout Moses. 37 But dose guys dat tell bad kine stuff bout da land, dey get one bad kine sick. Dey fall down mahke in front Da One In Charge. 38 From all da guys dat wen go scope out da land, ony Nun boy Joshua an Jefunneh boy Caleb stay alive.

39 Wen Moses tell all da Israel peopo bout dat, dey come real sore inside. 40 Early da nex morning dey go up da high hill land. Dey tell, “Us was wrong. We stay ready fo go up da place Da One In Charge wen tell us fo go.”

41 But Moses tell, “How come you guys goin go wea Da One In Charge tell you fo no go?! Dis no goin come out good! 42 No go up dea, cuz Da One In Charge no stay wit you guys! Da guys dat stay agains you guys, goin win ova you! 43 Cuz da Amalek peopo an da Canaan peopo goin face you guys ova dea. Az cuz you guys turn aroun an no follow Da One In Charge. Cuz a dat he no goin stay wit you guys, an you guys goin get kill wit swords!”

44 But da Israel guys tink dey can handle. Dey still yet go up da high hill land. But Moses an da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge no go outa da camp wit dem. 45 Den da Amalek guys an da Canaan guys dat live inside da hills go down attack da Israel guys, an bus um up all da way to Hormah.

15

Da Odda Sacrifices

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses: 2 Tell da Israel peopo dis: “You guys go inside da land I stay give you guys fo live ova dea. 3 Den you guys goin give me, Da One In Charge, sacrifices you guys make wit fire, from cows o sheeps o goats. Az fo one nice smell dat make me stay good inside—da sacrifices you burn up, o wen you guys make one spesho strong promise, o give one sacrifice jus cuz you like give um, o make one sacrifice fo one spesho religious kine ceremony. 4 Den da guy dat bring da sacrifice goin give me one wheat o barley sacrifice too: two quart fancy kine flour mix wit one quart olive oil. 5 Wit ery bebe sheep you bring fo da burn up kine sacrifice, give one quart wine fo da drink sacrifice.

6 “Wit one boy kine sheep, you give one wheat o barley sacrifice wit three quart fancy kine flour mix wit two an one half pint olive oil. 7 An give two an one half pint wine fo one drink sacrifice. Give um, az fo make one nice smell fo me, Da One In Charge.

8 “Maybe you make one spesho strong promise to me, an den you make ready one young bull fo da burn up kine sacrifice o odda sacrifice, o maybe az fo show dat you an me, Da One In Charge, stay tight wit each odda. 9 Kay den, bring wit da young bull one wheat o barley sacrifice wit five quart fancy kine flour, mix wit two quart olive oil, 10 an bring two quart wine fo make one drink sacrifice. Az goin be one sacrifice you make wit fire, an az fo make one nice smell fo me, Da One In Charge. 11 Ery bull, boy kine sheep, bebe sheep, o young goat, you goin make um ready lidat. 12 Do um fo all a da animals you guys make ready fo one sacrifice.

13 “Erybody dat born from da Israel ohana gotta do dis stuff lidat fo bring one sacrifice dey make wit fire fo make one nice smell fo me, Da One In Charge. 14 An fo all da peopo dat goin born afta dat, weneva get one guy from anodda place dat not from da Israel ohana dat stay live wit you guys, o odda guy dat stay live wit you guys, wen dey make one burn up kine sacrifice dat make one nice smell fo me, dey gotta make um jalike you guys make um. 15 Da peopo from anodda place dat stay live wit you guys, goin get da same rules you guys get. Az how dey goin do um foeva. You guys an da peopo from anodda place goin be da same in front Da One In Charge. 16 ✡Da rules goin be da same fo you guys an fo dem.”

17 Da One In Charge tell Moses: 18 Tell da Israel peopo dis: “Wen you guys go inside da land wea I stay bring you guys, 19 an wen you guys eat bread from wat stay grow on top da land, give one piece fo one sacrifice fo me, Da One In Charge. 20 Give one bread from da firs wheat o barley you guys grind up fo make flour. Give um jalike you give da firs wheat o barley dat you guys shake um out from da junk kine stuff. 21 You guys, an all da peopo dat goin born afta dat, goin give dis kine sacrifice to me, Da One In Charge, from da firs wheat o barley you guys grind up.

Da Sacrifice Fo Da Bad Kine Stuff Peopo Do Wen Dey Neva Make Plan Fo Do Um

22 “Maybe one a you guys jam up an no do some a dis kine stuff dat me Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo tell you fo do, but you neva make plan befo time fo no do um— 23 I stay talk bout eryting, from da time me, yoa God, Da One In Charge, tell Moses fo tell you guys fo do dese tings, an fo yoa peopo fo do um foeva— 24 But maybe da peopo donno dat da guy jam up an no do um, an he neva make one plan fo go agains me, den all da peopo togedda gotta kill one young bull fo make one burn up kine sacrifice, an az one nice smell fo me, Da One In Charge. An dey goin make da wheat o barley kine sacrifice dat go wit da burn up kine sacrifice, an da drink kine sacrifice, an kill one boy kine goat fo one sacrifice fo somebody dat do one bad ting. 25 Den da pries guy gotta make one sacrifice fo make all da Israel peopo come pono wit God lidat. Cuz he do dat, God goin hemo dea shame an let um go. Cuz dey neva make plan fo no do wat Moses tell um fo no do, an da peopo bring dea sacrifice in front Da One In Charge cuz erybody wen do bad kine stuff. Dey goin make one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge wit fire, an one sacrifice fo hemo da shame fo do someting bad. 26 So den God goin let go all da Israel peopo an da peopo from anodda place dat stay live wit dem, cuz all da peopo wen get da blame cuz dey neva make plan befo time fo no do wat God tell um fo no do.

27 ✡“But if ony one guy do someting bad, an he neva make plan befo time fo do um, he gotta bring one girl kine goat, one year ol, fo make one sacrifice fo hemo da shame fo da bad ting he wen do. 28 Da pries guy goin make da sacrifice in front Da One In Charge, fo make da guy come pono one mo time wit God. Cuz da guy wen do bad kine stuff but he neva make plan fo do um. An God goin let him go an hemo his shame wen he make da sacrifice fo make him come pono wit God one mo time. 29 Whoeva do someting bad but neva make one plan befo time fo do um, no matta dey come from da Israel peopo, o dey from anodda place, dey all get da same rule.

30 “But whoeva do bad kine stuff, an no mo shame fo do um, no matta dey from da Israel peopo o dey from anodda place, an dat guy talk bad bout Da One In Charge, you guys gotta cut dem off from dea peopo. 31 Dat guy ack jalike wat Da One In Charge tell no mean notting fo him, an stay broke his rules. Dass why you guys gotta cut him off from his peopo fo shua. He get da blame still yet.”

Da Guy Dat Stay Broke Da Res Day

32 One time wen da Israel peopo stay inside da boonies, an was da Res Day, dey find one guy dat stay pick up wood fo make fire. 33 Da guys dat find him picking up wood, bring him in front Moses an Aaron an all da peopo. 34 Dey make him stay wit da security guard guys, cuz not clear wat dey suppose to do wit him. 35 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Da guy gotta mahke. All da peopo gotta throw stone at um, fo kill um outside da camp.” 36 So all da peopo take him outside da camp, fo throw stone at um fo kill um, an he mahke, jalike Da One In Charge tell Moses.

Da Tassels On Top Da Clotheses

37 Da One In Charge tell Moses: 38 ✡Tell da Israel peopo dis: “Fo all da peopo dat live now an da ones dat goin born afta, you guys goin put one tassel on top da cornas a yoa clotheses, wit one blue string on top ery tassel. 39 You guys goin put da tassels so wen you look at dem, you guys no goin foget all da stuff me Da One In Charge wen tell you guys fo do. Den you guys goin do um, an no go fool aroun fo do all da no good odda stuff dat inside you like do, an dat yoa eyes tell you guys fo do. 40 Dass how you guys no goin foget fo lissen all da stuff I tell you guys fo do, an you guys goin come spesho fo me, yoa God. 41 I yoa God, Da One In Charge, dat wen bring you guys outa da Egypt land, fo be yoa God!”

Korah, Datan, An Abiram

(2 Timoty 2:19)

1 ✡Korah, dat come from Izhar az Kohat boy, an Kohat az Levi boy, an some guys from da Reuben ohana, Datan an Abiram az Eliab boys, an On az Pelet boy, dey all make one plan togedda. 2 Dey no mo respeck fo Moses, an go agains him. Bout 250 guys from da Israel peopo go wit dem. Dey was big name guys dat erybody know from wen all da peopo come togedda. 3 Dey come togedda fo go agains Moses an Aaron. Dey tell Moses an Aaron, “You two guys stay making tantaran! All da peopo stay spesho fo Da One In Charge, an he stay wit dem. How come you guys make jalike you mo importan den da peopo dat Da One In Charge bring togedda?!”

4 Wen Moses hear dat, he go down an put his face on top da groun. 5 Den he tell Korah an all da guys wit him, “Morning time, I like fo Da One In Charge show who stay his guy, an who stay spesho fo him. An he goin tell dat guy he pick fo come nea him. 6 You, Korah, an all da guys dat stay tight wit you, go do dis: take pans fo carry fire wit you. 7 Tomorra, put fire inside da pans, put incense on top da fire in front Da One In Charge. Da guy Da One In Charge goin pick, he goin be da one dat stay spesho fo Da One In Charge. You Levi guys, you da ones go too far, not me an Aaron!

8 “An Moses tell Korah dis too: ‘Now lissen, you Levi ohana guys. 9 Az enuff fo you guys dat da God fo da Israel peopo wen make you guys diffren den da odda Israel peopo, an bring you guys nea him fo do da work fo his Tent, an stan in front da Israel peopo an work fo dem. 10 He wen bring you an da odda Levi guys nea by him, but now you guys stay trying fo come pries guys too. 11 You an all da guys dat stay tight wit you come togedda agains Da One In Charge. An fo Aaron, how come you guys grumble bout him?!’ ”

12 Den Moses tell Datan an Abiram, Eliab boys, fo come by him. But dey tell, “Us no goin come! 13 No enuff you wen bring us guys outa da Egypt land dat get plenny milk an honey, fo let us guys mahke ova hea inside da boonies! An now you like come da boss ova us guys too! 14 Fo shua, you neva bring us guys inside one land dat get plenny milk an honey, an you neva give us land wit fields an grape plants. Now you goin pull out da eyes a dese guys, o wat?! No ways! We no goin come!”

15 Den Moses come real huhu. He tell Da One In Charge, “No take da sacrifices dey give you! I neva take even one donkey from dem, an I neva do notting agains dem!”

16 Moses tell Korah, “You an all da guys dat stay tight wit you goin stan in front Da One In Charge tomorra—you, an yoa guys, an Aaron. 17 All dem goin take dea fire pan, an put incense on top da fire. You guys goin bring um in front Da One In Charge. Goin get 250 fire pans. You guys an Aaron goin bring yoa fire pans too.” 18 So all dem take dea fire pan, put fire inside um, an put incense on top da fire. Dey stan wit Moses an Aaron, by da place fo go inside da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet God. 19 Wen Korah bring togedda all his peopo by da place fo go inside da Tent on one side, an Moses an Aaron on da odda side, Da One In Charge show up in front all da peopo dat come togedda, an he awesome!

20 Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron, 21 “Move away from all dese peopo fo me kill um right now!”

22 But Moses an Aaron go down an put dea face on top da groun, an yell, “God, you da God fo da spirits a all da peopo on top da earth! Try no come huhu wit all da peopo wen ony one guy wen do one bad ting!”

23 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses, 24 “Tell all da peopo, ‘Move away from da tents wea Korah, Datan, an Abiram live.’ ”

25 Moses stan up an go by Datan an Abiram. Da older leadas fo da Israel peopo go follow him. 26 He tell all da peopo, “Move away from da tents wea dese real bad guys live! No touch notting a dea stuff dat dey own! No good Da One In Charge wipe out you guys too, cuz a all da bad kine stuff dey wen do.” 27 So da peopo move away from da tents wea Korah, Datan, an Abiram live. Datan an Abiram come outside an stan dea wit dea wifes, kids, an bebes by da door fo dea tents.

28 Den Moses tell, “Dis how you guys goin know dat Da One In Charge wen sen me fo do all dis stuff. I neva tink fo me do um. 29 If dese guys mahke jalike how odda peopo mahke—if da same kine tings happen to dem jalike wat happen to odda peopo—den you guys goin know dat no was Da One In Charge wen sen me. 30 But if Da One In Charge do someting new, an jalike da earth open da mout, an swallow dem an eryting dey get, fo dem go down inside da Mahke Peopo Place wen dey still yet stay alive, den you guys goin know dat dese guys wen show Da One In Charge dat dey ack jalike Da One In Charge no matta to dem.”

31 Wen Moses tell dat, right den an dea da groun unda da three guys open up, 32 an jalike da earth swallow dem, an dea ohanas, an all da Korah guys, an all dea stuffs. 33 Dey go down inside da Mahke Peopo Place wen dey still yet stay alive, wit all dea stuffs. Den da earth cova dem, an dey mahke. Dey stay wipe out from dea peopo. 34 Wen da Korah guys yell, all da Israel peopo aroun dem run away an yell, “Da earth goin swallow us guys too!”

35 Den fire come from Da One In Charge an burn up da odda 250 guys dat stay burn incense.

36 Da One In Charge tell Moses, 37 “Tell Eleazar, az Aaron boy da pries guy, fo take da fire pans (cuz dey wen come spesho fo me) outa da stuff dat stay burn still yet, an throw da fire anodda place. 38 Pick up da fire pans dat da guys use dat wen do bad kine stuff, an dey mahke cuz a dat. Pound da pans wit hammas fo make big metal sheets fo cova da outside a da altar wit um. Cuz dose guys wen use da fire pans wen dey come in front me, Da One In Charge. Dass why da fire pans come spesho fo me. So put da metal from um on da outside a da altar, fo stay jalike one sign fo da Israel peopo.”

39 So Eleazar da pries guy go get all da bronze fire pans dat da guys wen use in front God befo God burn um up. An he tell guys fo poun um wit hammas fo make metal sheet fo put um all ova da outside a da altar. 40 Az wat Da One In Charge tell Moses dat Eleazar gotta do. He do um lidat fo da Israel peopo no foget dat ony da guys dat come from Aaron can burn incense in front Da One In Charge. No odda guys goin do um. If anodda guy do um dat no come from Aaron, da same ting goin happen jalike wat wen happen to Korah an da guys dat stay tight wit him.

41 Da nex day, all da Israel peopo grumble to Moses an Aaron. Dey tell, “You wen kill Da One In Charge guys!”

42 But wen all da peopo come togedda fo go agains Moses an Aaron, dey turn fo face da Tent Fo Meet Wit God. Right den an dea da cloud cova da Tent, an Da One In Charge let da peopo see him, an he awesome. 43 Den Moses an Aaron go in front da Tent Fo Meet Wit God.

44 Da One In Charge tell Moses, 45 “Go way from all dese peopo, fo me wipe dem all out right now!” But Moses an Aaron go down an put dea face on top da groun.

46 Moses tell Aaron, “Take da fire pan you use! Put fire from da altar inside um, an put incense on top da fire! Go quick by all da peopo, fo make dem come pono wit God! Da One In Charge tell ‘Laytas’ to wat dey do. Da real bad sick from Da One In Charge, stay start awready!” 47 So Aaron do wat Moses tell um fo do. He run wea all da peopo stay togedda. Da real bad sick wen start awready. But Aaron put da incense on top da fire in da pan, an do wat he gotta do fo make da peopo come pono wit God. 48 He stan inside da middo wit da guys dat stay alive on one side, an da mahke guys on da odda side. An da real bad kine sick pau. 49 But 14,700 peopo wen mahke from da sick. An odda guys wen mahke befo cuz a Korah. 50 Den Aaron go back by Moses, by da place fo go inside da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet God, cuz da sick pau awready.

Den, write da name fo ery leada guy on top his stick. 3 On top da stick fo da leada fo da Levi ohana, write Aaron name dea, cuz gotta get one stick fo da main guy fo ery ohana. 4 Put da sticks inside da Tent Wea You Meet Wit Me, Da One In Charge, in front Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal, wea I meet wit you. 5 Da stick fo da guy I pick goin grow an get bud.

Erybody inside yoa ohana dat can come in front me, can eat um.

14 ✡“Eryting inside da Israel land dat suppose to be ony fo me, Da One In Charge goin give um all fo you pries guys. 15 Da firs one born from ery wahine an animal dat dey bring by me, Da One In Charge, dat stay fo you. But you gotta buy back ery firs boy dat born from da peopo, an from da kine animals da peopo not suppose to eat. 16 Wen dey come one month ol, you gotta buy dem back fo da right price. Az five piece silva (20 gerah) dat weigh jalike da silva dey use inside da Place Dat Stay Spesho Fo Me.

17 “But you no can buy back da firs boy kine animal dat born from one cow o sheep o goat. Dey stay spesho ony fo me. Sprinkle dea blood all ova on top da altar, an burn dea fat.

Dat, az one spesho deal dat nobody can broke. You goin put salt on top da sacrifice fo no foget da deal I wen make wit you guys, dat you an yoa kids wen make in front me, Da One In Charge, foeva.”

20 Da One In Charge tell Aaron, “You no goin own notting inside da peopo land fo yoa share. You get me fo yoa share, not land jalike da odda Israel peopo get.

21 ✡“I give da Levi ohana all da ten percent a da stuff da Israel peopo give me. Dass goin be dea property, fo da work da Levi ohana guys do by da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet Me. 22 Cuz from now, da Israel peopo betta not go too nea no mo to da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet Me. No good dey get da blame fo go dea, an dey mahke. 23 Az ony da Levi ohana guys dat goin do da work fo da Tent. Dey goin get da blame if somebody do someting agains da Tent.

Az why I tell dem, ‘You guys no goin get land jalike how da odda Israel peopo get um.’ ”

25 Da One In Charge tell Moses: 26 Wen you talk to da Levi guys, tell um dis: “Wen you guys get da ten percent from da Israel peopo dat I goin give you guys fo come yoa property, you gotta give ten percent a dat ten percent, az one present fo me, Da One In Charge. 27 Da present you give, you goin figga ten percent a da wheat o barley dat da peopo give you from da place wea dey split da wheat o barley from da junk kine stuff, o ten percent a da wine dat dey give you from da place wea dey step da grapes fo make wine. 28 Az how you goin give one present fo me, Da One In Charge, from all da ten percent you get from da Israel peopo. From dat ten percent, you gotta give my share to Aaron da pries guy. 29 Da stuff you give me, Da One In Charge, gotta be da bestes part a eryting da peopo give to you, fo make um come spesho fo me.”

30 Tell da Levi guys dis too: “Wen you give da bestes part, you can figga da res still goin be from da place fo take out da junks from da wheat o barley o da place wea dey step da grape fo make wine. 31 You an yoa ohanas can eat da odda part wea eva, cuz az yoa pay fo da work you do fo da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet Me. 32 Wen you give da bestes part, den you no goin get blame wen you eat da res. You no goin make da presents dat stay spesho fo God come pilau, an you no goin mahke.”

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron: 2 “Dis one a da tings you gotta do, one a da Rules dat me Da One In Charge make: Tell da Israel peopo fo bring you one young red girl kine cow dat no mo notting wrong wit um, an dat neva get one yoke on top um yet. 3 Give um to Eleazar da pries guy. Da peopo goin take da cow outside da camp an kill um in front Eleazar. 4 Den Eleazar goin take some a da blood on his finga, an sprinkle um seven time on da groun wea da front a da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit Me stay. 5 He gotta watch um burn da cow, da skin, da meat, da blood, an even da doodoo in front him. 6 Da pries guy goin take some cedar kine wood, one oregano branch, an dark red wool stuff, an throw um on top da cow dat stay burn. 7 Afta dat, da pries guy gotta wash his clotheses, an den go bafe in watta. Den he can go inside da camp, but he no can come in front me till da sun go down. 8 Da guy dat burn da cow gotta wash his clotheses an den go bafe in watta too. An he no can come in front me till da sun go down.

9 ✡“One guy dat stay okay fo come in front me goin get all da ashes from da girl kine cow, an put um inside one clean place outside da camp. Da ashes, goin be fo all da Israel peopo fo keep fo use um wit watta fo da peopo come in front me. Az fo hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do. 10 An da guy dat wen get all da ashes from da girl kine cow, he gotta wash his clotheses too. He no can come in front me till da sun go down. All da Israel peopo an da peopo from anodda place dat live wit dem, gotta make lidis foeva.

11 “Wen somebody mahke, whoeva touch da mahke body, dey no can come in front me fo seven day. 12 Dey gotta make um fo him come clean wit da watta dat get da ash inside, day numba three, an day numba seven too. Den he can come in front me. But if he no make lidat by day numba three an day numba seven, he no can come in front me. 13 Whoeva touch one mahke body, an no make um fo dem come clean wit da watta wit ashes, dey make da Tent fo me, Da One In Charge, come pilau. You gotta cut dem off from da Israel peopo. Dey no can come in front me, cuz dey neva sprinkle dat watta wit ashes on top dem fo make um come clean. An dey stay pilau still yet.

14 “Dis da rule fo how you gotta make weneva somebody mahke inside one tent. Whoeva go inside da tent, an whoeva stay inside um, dey no can come in front me fo seven day. 15 Ery pot inside da tent dat stay open, wit no mo cova on top um, goin stay pilau too.

16 “Anybody dat stay outside, an dey touch one mahke guy ova dea, no matta somebody wen kill um wit one sword, o dey mahke regula kine, o if somebody touch one bone from one mahke guy, o dey touch one open grave, dey no can come in front me fo seven day.

17 “Wen get somebody dat not clean an dey no can come in front me, take some ashes from da sacrifice da pries guy wen burn up fo make um come clean fo come in front me, an put da ashes inside one bottle, an pour clean watta inside. 18 Den one guy dat stay okay fo come in front me, he gotta take one oregano branch, dip um inside dat watta, an sprinkle da tent an all da furnitures, an da peopo dat stay dea. An he gotta sprinkle um on top whoeva touch one mahke guy bone, o one grave, o touch somebody dat get kill o dat mahke regula kine. 19 Day numba three an day numba seven, da guy dat stay okay fo come in front me goin sprinkle da watta on top da guy dat no can come in front me. An day numba seven, da guy dat can come in front me goin hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff da odda guy wen do. Da odda guy gotta wash his clotheses an bafe, den wen da sun go down he can come in front me. 20 But if get one guy dat no can come in front me cuz he no do da ceremony fo come clean, you gotta cut him off from all da peopo. Az cuz he make da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge come pilau. Dey neva sprinkle da watta on top him fo make him come clean. Az why he still stay pilau. 21 Dis one rule da Israel peopo gotta do foeva.

“Da guy dat sprinkle da watta fo make peopo come clean gotta wash his clotheses too. An anybody go touch da watta fo make peopo come clean, dey no can come in front me till da sun go down. 22 Anyting one guy dat no can come in front me touch, dat ting come pilau too. Anybody touch dat kine guy, dey no can come in front me till da sun go down too.”

20

Watta Come Outa Da Cliff

1 Da month numba one, all da Israel peopo come inside da Zin Boonies. Dey stay Kadesh side. Miriam mahke ova dea, an dey bury her dea.

2 ✡No mo enuff watta fo da peopo ova dea. Az why da peopo come togedda fo grumble bout Moses an Aaron. 3 Dey make argue wit Moses. Dey tell, “Mo betta us wen mahke, da time oua braddahs fall down mahke in front Da One In Charge! 4 How come you guys wen bring all us guys, da peopo a Da One In Charge, ova hea inside dese boonies, fo us an oua animals mahke ova hea? 5 How come you bring us guys outa Egypt fo come dis junk kine place? No mo wheat o barley, figs, grape plants, o pomagrams ova hea! An no mo watta fo us drink!”

6 Moses an Aaron go way from da peopo, an go wea fo go inside da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit God. Dey go down an put dea face on top da groun. Da One In Charge let dem see him dea, an he awesome. 7 Da One In Charge tell Moses, 8 “Take Aaron stick fo walk outa Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit God. You an yoa braddah Aaron, go get da peopo an bring um togedda. Talk to da cliff dey see in front dem, an watta goin come out. You goin bring watta outa da cliff fo da peopo. Dass how you goin give dem an dea animals watta fo drink.”

9 So Moses take da stick fo walk from in front Da One In Charge, jalike Da One In Charge stay tell um fo do. 10 Moses an Aaron tell da peopo fo come togedda in front da cliff, an Moses tell da peopo, “Lissen, all you guys dat go agains Da One In Charge. You guys tink us suppose to bring watta out from inside dis cliff, o wat?!” 11 Den Moses put up his hand an wack da cliff two time wit his stick fo walk. Den plenny watta come out, an da peopo an dea animals drink um.

12 But Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron, “You guys neva trus me enuff fo show in front da Israel peopo dat I stay good an spesho! Cuz a dat, you guys no goin bring dem inside da land I give um awready.”

13 Dat was da watta from Meribah side. Meribah mean “Make Argue.” Az wea da Israel peopo wen grumble in front Da One In Charge, an he show dem dat he stay real good an spesho.

Da Edom Peopo No Let Da Israel Peopo
Go Thru Dea Land

14 From Kadesh, Moses sen messenja guys by da king fo da Edom peopo. He tell,

“Dis wat yoa braddah Israel tell: You know bout all da hard time us guys wen suffa. 15 Oua ancesta guys wen go down Egypt side an we live ova dea long time. Da Egypt guys give us an oua ancestas one hard time. 16 But wen us guys call out to Da One In Charge fo help us, he hear us, an he sen one angel messenja guy fo bring us outa Egypt.

“An now, us guys stay ova hea Kadesh side, one town by da borda a yoa country. 17 Try let us go pass thru yoa land. We no goin go thru no fields o grape fields, o drink watta from yoa wells. We goin go strait thru by da king high road. We no goin turn right side o lef side till we pass thru yoa country.”

18 But da Edom king tell: “You guys no can pass thru my country. If you guys try, oua army guys goin go afta you guys wit swords!”

19 Da Israel guys tell um, “Ony da main road, az wea us goin go. If us o oua animals drink some a yoa watta, we goin pay good price fo um. No big deal—us ony like walk pass dea, dass it.”

20 But da Edom king tell, “You guys no goin go pass thru hea.”

Den da Edom guys come out wit one big, strong army. 21 Cuz da Edom guys no let dem pass thru dea country, da Israel guys tell “Laytas” to dem an go anodda way.

Aaron Mahke

22 All da Israel peopo go out from Kadesh an come by Mount Hor. 23 Ova dea, nea da edge a Edom, Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron, 24 “Aaron goin mahke hea. He no goin go inside da land I give da Israel peopo, cuz you two guys wen go agains wat I wen tell you fo do, bout da watta Meribah side. 25 Take Aaron an his boy Eleazar, an bring dem up Mount Hor. 26 Take off da Main Pries kine clotheses from Aaron, an put um on top his boy Eleazar. Cuz Aaron goin mahke ova dea.”

27 So Moses do wat Da One In Charge tell um fo do. Dey go up Mount Hor an all da peopo stay look. 28 ✡Moses take off da Main Pries kine clotheses from Aaron an put um on top Aaron boy Eleazar. An Aaron mahke ova dea on da top a da mountain. Moses an Eleazar, dey come down from da mountain. 29 Wen all da peopo see dat Aaron mahke, all da peopo make one ceremony fo rememba him fo thirty day.

21

So him an his guys go afta da Israel peopo, an catch some a dem an make dem prisonas. 2 Den da Israel peopo make dis strong promise to Da One In Charge, fo erybody know dat dey goin do um: “If az fo real dat you let us win ova dese guys, we goin wipe out dea towns to da max, jalike dey one sacrifice fo you.” 3 Da One In Charge lissen wat da Israel peopo tell, an let dem win ova da Canaan peopo. Dey wipe out dem an dea towns to da max, jalike dey one sacrifice. So dey call da place Hormah, dat mean Wipe Out Fo God.

Dey tell, “How come you bring us guys outa Egypt? Fo make us mahke inside da boonies, o wat?! No mo bread! No mo watta! An us hate dis no good kine manna food!”

6 Den Da One In Charge sen poison kine snakes by dem. Dea poison, sore jalike da fire. Dey bite da peopo, an plenny Israel peopo mahke. 7 Da peopo come by Moses, an tell, “Us wen do bad kine stuff wen we grumble bout Da One In Charge an about you. Try aks Da One In Charge fo make da snakes go way from us guys.” So Moses pray fo da peopo.

8 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Make one ting dat look jalike one poison kine snake, an put um on top one high pos. Wen da snakes bite somebody, da peopo can look da snake statue on top da pos, an goin stay alive.” 9 ✡So Moses make one bronze metal snake, an put um up on top one high pos. Den wen one snake bite somebody, da guy look da bronze snake statue, an dey goin stay alive.

Dey Go Moab Side

10 Da Israel peopo leave dat place an make camp Obot side. 11 From Obot, dey go make camp Iye-Abarim, inside da boonies da east side a da Moab land wea da sun come up. 12 From dea dey go make camp inside da Zered Gulch. 13 Dey go from dea make camp da odda side a da Arnon Riva, dat stay inside da boonies dat go all da way inside da Amor peopo land. Da Arnon Riva go by da edge a da Moab land, wit Moab one side an da Amor peopo da odda side. 14 Az why da Book Bout Da Wars Fo Da One In Charge tell:

“Waheb inside Sufah an da gulches,

Da Arnon Riva,

15 An da cliff in da small gulches dat go nea da town dey call Ar,

Wea can look down an see da edge a da Moab land.”

16 From dea dey go Beer side. Dass da well fo watta wea Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Tell da peopo come togedda. I goin give dem watta.”

17 Den da Israel peopo sing dis song:

“Go come up! Let da well bring up watta!

Sing bout um!

18 Sing bout da puka dat da prince guys wen dig.

An da alii fo da peopo wen make um

Wit da sticks dat show dey da leada guys

An wit dea sticks fo walk.”

Den da peopo go from da boonies to Mattanah, 19 an from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamot, 20 an from Bamot to da part a Moab wea get da top a da Pisgah Range, wea da land you can see az ony wase land.

Dey Win Ova Sihon An Og

(Rules Secon Time 29:7; 31:4; Songs 135:11; 136:19-20)

21 Da Israel peopo sen messenja guys by Sihon, da king fo da Amor peopo, fo tell him: 22 “Let us go pass thru yoa land. We no goin go inside no wheat field o grape field, o drink watta from yoa pukas. We goin go by da king highway till we go pass yoa land.”

23 But Sihon no let da Israel peopo pass thru his land. He bring his whole army togedda, an go out inside da boonies fo fight da Israel guys. Wen da Amor guys come Jahaz town, dey fight wit da Israel guys. 24 But da Israel guys kill Sihon wit swords, an take ova his land from da Arnon Riva to da Jabbok Riva. But dey go ony to da edge a da Ammon land, cuz da Ammon peopo strong an no let nobody come inside dea land. 25 Da Israel guys take ova all da Amor towns, an stay dea—Heshbon an all da small towns aroun um. 26 Heshbon, dass da main town wea Sihon stay da king fo da Amor peopo. Befo time Sihon wen fight da Moab king, an take away all his land to da Arnon Riva.

27 Az how come da poet guys tell:

“Go come by Heshbon

An build um one mo time.

Make Sihon big town new one mo time.

28 ✡Had fire go out from Heshbon,

One big fire come from Sihon big town.

Da fire burn up Ar, Moab side,

An da ones dat own da up country

Nea da Arnon Riva.

29 Bummahs! You Moab peopo!

You peopo dat pray to da god Kemosh,

You come wipe out awready!

Da Moab king, his boys run away,

An his girls come prisonas.

Sihon take um.

He one king guy fo da Amor peopo.

30 “But us guys, we wipe out da Amor guys!

We wipe out Heshbon, an Dibon too!

We bus um up all da way to Nofah,

An go all da way to Medeba.”

(Rules Secon Time 23:3-6)

1 Den da Israel peopo go by da flat place Moab side an make camp dea, nea da part a da Jordan Riva dass not real far da odda side a Jericho.

2 Now Zippor boy Balak, da king fo da Moab peopo, he see awready all dat da Israel peopo wen do to da Amor peopo. 3 Da Moab peopo stay real sked, cuz get plenny Israel peopo.

Maybe den I can win ova dem an make dem go outa da land. Cuz fo shua wen you tell God fo do good tings fo peopo, he make good tings happen fo dem, an wen you put kahuna on top peopo, God make bad tings happen fo dem.”

7 Da older leadas fo Moab an Midian go, an take wit dem da money fo give Balaam fo put kahuna on top da Israel peopo. Wen dey come by Balaam, dey tell him wat Balak wen tell um.

8 Balaam tell um, “Stay ova hea dis nite, den I goin tell you guys wat Da One In Charge tell me.” So da Moab princes stay his place.

12 But God tell Balaam, “No go wit dem. You betta not put kahuna on top dose peopo! Cuz I do plenny good kine tings fo dem.”

13 Da nex morning Balaam get up an he tell da prince guys from Balak, “Go back yoa land, cuz Da One In Charge no like me go wit you guys.”

14 So da Moab prince guys go back by Balak, an tell, “Balaam tell us no, dat he no goin come wit us.”

15 Den Balak sen odda prince guys. Get mo a dem, an mo importan den da ones dat wen go firs time. 16 Dey come by Balaam, an tell:

12 Balaam tell um, “Eh! I gotta make shua fo tell ony wat Da One In Charge put inside my mout, you know!”

Da Numba Two Ting

13 Den Balak tell Balaam, “Go come wit me one diffren place! From dea, you can see dem, but not all a dem. An from dea, you can put kahuna on top dem!” 14 So Balak take him by da Lookout Field on top da Pisgah Range.

Dis wat da Israel peopo gotta do, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo do.’ ”

Da Strong Promises

1 Moses tell da leada guys fo da Israel ohanas: “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell dat us guys gotta do: 2 ✡Wen one guy make one strong promise to Da One In Charge, o make one strong promise fo no do someting, fo erybody know dat he goin do um o no goin do um, he betta not broke wat he wen promise! He gotta do eryting he tell he goin do.

3 “Wen get one young wahine dat still yet live inside her faddah house, an she make one strong promise fo Da One In Charge, o make one strong promise fo no do someting, 4 if her faddah hear bout wat she wen promise, but he no tell notting to her, den eryting she promise goin stay. 5 But if her faddah hear bout um, an dat same day he tell her she no can do um, den eryting she wen promise fo do no goin stay. Da One In Charge goin let her go, cuz her faddah no like let her do um.

6 “If she marry afta she make one strong promise, o afta she make one promise fo do someting stupid, 7 an her husban hear bout um, but he no tell notting to her dat same day, den eryting she wen promise fo do goin stay. 8 But if her husban hear bout um, an dat same day he tell her she no can do um, den eryting dat she wen promise fo do, she no can do um. He make um so she no can keep her promise. If goin be lidat, Da One In Charge goin let her go.

9 “If one widow o one wahine dat get divorce make one strong promise, den she gotta do um.

10 “If one wahine dat live wit her husban make one strong promise, 11 an her husban hear bout um, but no tell notting to her dat same day dat she no can do um, den eryting dat she wen promise goin stay. 12 But if her husban hear bout um, an dat same day he tell her she no can do um, den eryting dat she wen promise fo do, she no can do um. Her husban make um so she no can keep her promise, an if goin be lidat, Da One In Charge goin let her go. 13 Her husban can tell yes o no bout someting wen she make one strong promise fo do someting o fo no do someting. 14 But if her husban no tell notting da day he hear bout um, den dat mean he stay good wit da strong promise she wen make. 15 But if he tell her dat she no can do um mo den one day afta he hear bout um, den he da one get da blame wen she do wat she wen promise fo do.”

16 Dese da rules dat Da One In Charge tell Moses bout one guy an his wife, an one faddah an his young girl dat still yet live inside his house.

31

How Fo Pay Back Da Midian Guys

1 Da One In Charge tell Moses, 2 “Pay back da Midian guys fo wat dey wen do to da Israel peopo. Afta dat, you goin mahke an go by yoa ancesta guys.”

3 Az why Moses tell da peopo, “Make ready some a yoa army guys fo go fight da Midian guys, fo Da One In Charge pay dem back fo wat dey wen do. 4 Sen one tousan guys from ery main ohana inside da Israel peopo fo fight dem.” 5 So twelve tousan guys get dea stuffs ready fo war, one tousan from ery Israel ohana. 6 Moses sen tousan guys from ery main ohana fo fight. He sen Finehas too, Eleazar da pries boy. Finehas take tings from da Place Dat Stay Spesho Fo God, an metal trumpets fo blow.

7 Dey fight da Midian guys, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo do, an dey kill all da Midian army guys. 8 Da five Midian kings, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, an Reba, dey kill dem too. An dey kill Balaam, Beor boy, wit dea swords. 9 Da Israel guys make da Midian wahines an kids dea prisonas, an take all dea animals an all dea stuffs. 10 Dey burn all da towns wea da Midian peopo live, an dea camps too. 11 Dey take all da stuffs dey wen rip off, an da peopo an da animals, 12 an dey bring all da prisonas an stuff dey rip off. Dey bring um by Moses an Eleazar da pries guy an by all da Israel peopo inside da camp on top da flat place Moab side, nea da Jordan Riva, da odda side from Jericho.

13 Moses, Eleazar da pries guy, an all da leadas fo da peopo go outside da camp fo meet dem. 14 Moses, he come huhu wit da officers fo da army, da leadas fo tousan guys an hundred guys, dat come back from fight da war.

15 Moses tell um, “Wassamatta you?! You guys let all da wahines stay alive, o wat?! 16 ✡But you know wat?! Was dem, da ones wen lissen Balaam! Dey da ones turn da Israel peopo away, fo go agains Da One In Charge. Dass wat wen happen Peor side. An cuz a dat, da peopo a Da One In Charge get one real bad kine sick! 17 So now, go kill all da boys, an kill ery wahine dat wen sleep wit one guy! 18 But da girls dat neva sleep wit one guy, let dem stay alive. You guys own dem.

19 “All you guys gotta stay outside da camp fo seven days—anybody dat wen kill somebody, o touch one mahke body. Day numba three an day numba seven, you guys gotta make da religious kine ceremony fo make you an da prisonas you wen catch come clean, fo you go in front God.

20 “Make all yoa clotheses clean too, an eryting dey make from ledda, o goat hair, o wood.”

Da Stuffs Dey Wen Rip Off

21 Den Eleazar da pries guy tell da army guys dat wen fight, “Dis da rules dat Da One In Charge wen give Moses: 22 Da gold, silva, bronze, iron, tin, an lead dat you wen rip off— 23 all da odda stuff dat can go inside da fire, you gotta make um go inside da fire fo come clean da way Da One In Charge see um. But den you gotta clean um wit da kine watta fo make um clean too. An wateva no can go thru da fire, you gotta put um inside da watta fo make um clean, an den take um out. 24 Day numba seven wash yoa clotheses, an den you guys goin be clean an can come inside da camp.”

Dey Split Da Stuffs

25 Da One In Charge tell Moses, 26 “You an Eleazar da pries guy, an da leadas fo da blood lines inside da ohanas, count all da peopo an animals da army guys wen catch. 27 Den split um wit da army guys dat wen fight, an da odda peopo. 28 From da army guys dat wen fight, kapu fo me, Da One In Charge, one from ery five hundred peopo, cows, donkeys, sheeps, an goats. 29 Me, Da One In Charge. Kapu dem fo me from da army guys half, an give um to Eleazar da pries guy. 30 From da half from da odda Israel peopo, pick one from ery fifty, no matta peopo, cows, donkeys, sheeps, goats, o odda animals. Give um to da Levi guys dat take kea my Tent.” 31 So Moses an Eleazar da pries guy do wat Da One In Charge tell Moses fo do.

32 Da stuffs lef ova from da odda stuffs dat da army guys wen take was 675,000 sheeps, 33 72,000 cows, 34 61,000 donkeys, 35 an 32,000 wahines dat neva sleep wit one guy.

36 Da half part fo da army guys dat wen fight was: 337,500 sheeps an goats 37 an da part fo Da One In Charge from da sheeps an goats was 675. 38 From 36,000 cows, Da One In Charge part was 72. 39 From 30,500 donkeys, Da One In Charge part was 61. 40 From 16,000 peopo, Da One In Charge part was 32.

41 Moses give Da One In Charge part to Eleazar, da pries guy, jalike Da One In Charge tell Moses fo do.

42 Da half part fo da Israel peopo dat Moses put by one side from da part fo da army guys dat wen fight, 43 da Israel peopo half was 337,500 sheeps, 44 36,000 cows, 45 30,500 donkeys, 46 an 16,000 peopo. 47 From da Israel peopo half, Moses pick one from ery fifty peopo an animals, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell him fo do, an he give um to da Levi guys dat take kea da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge.

48 Den da officers dat stay in charge a da army guys, da leadas fo tousan guys an hundred guys, dey go by Moses 49 an tell um, “Yoa worka guys wen count da army guys unda us. No mo even one a dem dat we neva count. 50 Cuz a dat, us guys bring dis stuff fo make one present fo Da One In Charge: da gold stuff we wen rip off, bracelets, rings, earrings, an necklaces, fo make us guys come pono wit Da One In Charge.”

51 Moses an Eleazar da pries guy take da gold tings from dem, all da jewelry stuff. 52 All da gold from da leadas fo tousan guys an hundred guys dat Moses an Eleazar give Da One In Charge fo one present, weigh bout 420 poun. 53 Ery army guy wen take stuff fo dem. 54 Az how come Moses an Eleazar da pries guy take da gold stuffs, an bring um by da Tent Wea Da Peopo Meet God, an put um in front Da One In Charge fo him no foget da Israel peopo.

32

Da Peopo East Side Da Jordan Riva

1 Da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana get plenny cows, sheeps, an goats. Dey see dat da Jazer an Gilead land stay one good place fo put da animals. 2 So dey come by Moses an Eleazar da pries guy, an da leadas fo da peopo, an tell, 3 “You know da towns, Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, an Beon? 4 Dass da land Da One In Charge take ova in front all da Israel peopo. An dat land stay good fo cows an sheeps an goats. Us guys get cows an sheeps an goats. 5 If you tink us guys good fo get dat land, den let us, yoa worka guys, get da land fo come oua property. No make us guys go da odda side a da Jordan Riva.”

6 Moses tell da Gad peopo an da Reuben peopo, “You tink ony yoa braddah guys gotta go ova dea fo do all da fighting, an you guys jus stay sit ova hea, o wat?! 7 How come you like make da odda Israel peopo lose fight, fo dem no like go inside da land Da One In Charge wen give dem?! 8 ✡Dass da same ting yoa faddah guys wen do, da time I sen dem from Kadesh-Barnea fo scope out da land. 9 Afta dey go up by da Eshkol Valley an scope out da land, dey come back an make da Israel peopo lose fight an no like go inside da land Da One In Charge wen give um. 10 ✡Da One In Charge come real mad dat time, an he make dis strong promise fo erybody know dat he goin do um: 11 ‘Dese peopo no go all out fo stay tight wit me! Cuz a dat, from da men guys twenny year ol an mo dat come outa Egypt, dey no goin see da land dat I wen make one strong promise fo give to Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob! 12 But ony Caleb, his faddah Jefunneh da Keniz guy, an Nun boy Joshua, can go inside da land, cuz dey wen go all out fo stay tight wit me, Da One In Charge!’

13 “Dat time, Da One In Charge come real mad wit da Israel peopo. He make dem stay go aroun inside da boonies fo forty year, till all da peopo mahke dat he see wen do bad kine stuff.

14 “So hea you guys stay now, braddahs dat do bad kine stuff. You stay ack hea jalike yoa faddah guys wen ack. You guys goin make Da One In Charge come even mo mad still yet wit you Israel peopo! 15 So if you guys tell laytas an no stay tight wit Da One In Charge, he goin make all dis peopo stay inside da boonies one mo time, an you guys goin get da blame fo wipe out all dem!”

16 Den da Reuben an Gad guys go by Moses an tell, “Us guys like build pens ova hea fo oua animals, an build towns fo oua wahines an kids. 17 But us guys stay ready fo fight! We goin go across da Jordan Riva firs, befo da odda Israel peopo go dea. An we goin stay till we bring um to dea places. Wen we do dat, oua wahines an kids can live dis side inside towns dat get strong wall, so da odda peopo inside da land no goin hurt dem. 18 We no goin go back oua places, till all da odda Israel peopo get da property Da One In Charge stay give all dem. 19 An us guys no goin get oua property wit dem da odda side a da Jordan Riva. Cuz we get oua property ova hea, da east side a da Riva.”

20 Den Moses tell dem, “Kay den. If you guys goin make lidat, an stay ready fo fight in front Da One In Charge, 21 an if all you guys goin go in front Da One In Charge, da odda side a da Jordan Riva, an if you take da tings you use fo fight, till he take away da land from da peopo dat stay agains him— 22 Den if dass how you guys make, den wen you guys win ova da odda peopos in front Da One In Charge, you guys no need stay da odda side no moa. You can come back dis side. Da One In Charge an da Israel peopo goin let you guys go. Den dis land ova hea goin stay you guys property in front Da One In Charge.

23 “But if you guys no do dat, den you guys goin do one bad ting agains Da One In Charge, an fo shua, da bad ting you do, goin catch you bumbye! 24 Build strong towns fo yoa wahines an kids, an pens fo yoa sheeps an goats. But do all da stuff you guys wen promise fo do.”

25 Da Gad guys an Reuben guys tell Moses, “You oua boss, an us work fo you. We goin do wat you tell us fo do. 26 Oua kids an wifes, oua sheeps, goats, an cows, all goin stay ova hea inside da Gilead towns. 27 But all us guys dat work fo you, we ready fo fight, an go da odda side fo fight in front Da One In Charge, jalike you, oua boss, tell us fo do.”

28 ✡Den Moses tell Eleazar da pries guy bout dem, an Joshua, Nun boy, an da leadas fo da main Israel ohanas. 29 He tell dem, “If da Gad guys an da Reuben guys go wit dea stuff fo fight da odda side a da Jordan Riva wit you guys in front Da One In Charge, den wen you guys win ova da odda peopos, give dem da Gilead land fo dea property. 30 But if dey no go ova dea wit you guys, all ready fo fight, dey no goin get land dis side. Dey gotta take da land dat stay da odda side jalike you guys inside Canaan.”

An give da Levi guys da grass land aroun dea towns. 3 Den dass how dey goin get towns wea dey goin live, an grass land fo dea cows, sheeps, goats, an odda animals.

An give da Levi peopo forty-two odda towns. 7 All da towns you goin give da Levi peopo goin be forty-eight towns, an ery town wit dea grass land. 8 Da towns you give da Levi peopo from all da property da Israel peopo get, you goin give um jalike you count how much land ery ohana get. Take plenny towns from da ohanas dat get plenny peopo, an litto bit towns from da ohanas dat get litto bit peopo.”

9 ✡Den Da One In Charge tell Moses,

10 “Tell da Israel peopo: Wen you guys go da odda side a da Jordan Riva inside da Canaan land, 11 pick some towns fo da ones wea peopo can go if dey kill somebody but dey neva like kill um. 12 Dass goin be one place wea da peopo can stay, an nobody can pay dem back fo kill somebody. Az why if da peopo poin finga somebody cuz dey tell he wen kill anodda guy, da guy no goin mahke befo he stan in front da judge an da peopo. An da guy dat poin finga gotta show proof dat he wen kill um o like kill um. 13 Dese six towns you give da Levi guys, goin be yoa City A Refuge towns fo anybody stay dat kill somebody. 14 Give three towns dis side a da Jordan Riva, an three towns inside da Canaan land, fo come da City A Refuge towns fo peopo stay dea if dey kill somebody. 15 Dese six towns goin be da place fo da Israel peopo, an fo da peopo from anodda place dat stay wit you guys. Az why whoeva kill somebody an neva tink fo do um befo dey do um, dat guy can go fo stay dea.

16 “If one guy wack somebody wit one iron ting, an da guy mahke, he one killa guy. You gotta kill da guy dat kill anodda guy. 17 O if somebody get one stone inside his hand dat can kill, an he wack somebody wit um so da guy mahke, he one killa guy. You gotta kill da guy dat kill anodda guy. 18 O if somebody get one wood ting inside his hand dat can kill, an he wack somebody wit um so da guy mahke, he one killa guy. You gotta kill da guy dat kill anodda guy. 19 Da one from da mahke guy ohana dat get da kuleana fo pay back da killa guy, he can kill um wen he meet um. 20 If somebody hate somebody an tink bout how fo kill um, an push da guy o throw someting at him fo him mahke, 21 o if he wack him wit his fis an he mahke, dat guy gotta mahke. He one killa guy. Da one from da mahke guy ohana dat get da kuleana fo pay back da killa guy, he can kill um wen he meet him.

22 “But if somebody no hate anodda guy, but push him o throw someting at um, but he neva tink fo kill um, 23 o maybe da guy neva see um, but one stone fall on top him dat kill um, an he mahke. Den cuz he no hate da guy, an he no like hurt him, 24 da peopo gotta come togedda fo judge lidis: ‘Da guy dat kill somebody neva make plan fo kill um,’ o ‘Da one from da mahke guy ohana dat get da kuleana fo pay back da killa guy get da right fo kill dis guy.’ Dese da rules. 25 Da peopo dat come togedda fo judge, dey gotta take kea da guy dat wen kill somebody but neva make plan fo do um. Dey gotta make shua, dat da one from da mahke guy ohana dat get da kuleana fo pay back da killa guy, no can kill him. Dey gotta take him back da City a Refuge wea he wen run fo no get kill, an nobody can kill him dea. He gotta stay dea till da Main Pries Guy mahke, da one dat dey pour da oil dat stay spesho fo God on top him fo show he da Main Pries Guy.

26 “But if bumbye da guy dat wen kill da odda one eva go outside da City A Refuge town from wea he wen run to, so he no mahke, 27 an if da guy dat get da kuleana fo kill him find him outside dat town, dat guy can kill him an no goin get da blame fo um. 28 Da guy dat wen kill da odda guy gotta stay inside da City A Refuge town wea he wen run to fo him no mahke, till da Main Pries Guy mahke. Den afta da Main Pries Guy mahke, da guy can go back his place.

29 “Dis goin be da rules fo all da Israel peopo foeva, wea eva you guys live.

30 ✡“Whoeva kill somebody gotta mahke cuz he kill um, but ony wen odda guys can tell da judge wat dey wen see happen. But no mo nobody gotta mahke if ony one guy tell wat he see happen.

31 “No take money fo let go somebody dat wen kill anodda guy, an he suppose to mahke fo dat.

32 “No take money fo let go somebody dat wen run by one City A Refuge town fo stay afta he kill somebody. No can let um go back an stay on top his land befo da Main Pries Guy mahke.

33 “No make da land come pilau wea you guys live. Wen somebody kill anodda guy, dat make da land come pilau. You no can make pono da land wea somebody wen kill anodda guy. Ony if you kill da guy dat wen kill da odda guy, den you can make um pono.

34 “An no make da land wea you live come pilau,

“Cuz me, Da One In Charge,

I stay live wit da Israel peopo!”

36

Da Land Fo Zelofehad Girls

1 Da family leadas fo da Gilead line dat come from Makir, Manasseh boy, from da Joseph ohana, dey come in front Moses an da leadas fo da Israel ohanas. Da Gilead guys come aks da leadas fo help dem. 2 ✡Dey tell, “Da One In Charge wen tell you, my boss, fo pull straw fo give land to da Israel peopo. He tell you dis too, you suppose to give da land rights fo oua braddah Zelofehad to his girls. 3 So now, wat us goin do?! If dey marry guys from anodda Israel ohana, dat mean, dey goin take dea share a oua Manasseh ohana land, an give um to da ohana wea dey marry fo come dea land. So part a da property us guys get, dey goin take um away from oua ohana. 4 Wen da spesho year fo da Israel peopo come ery fifty year, dea land goin go back to da ohana wea dey marry, an oua ohana no goin get oua share no moa.”

5 Den Da One In Charge tell Moses fo tell da Israel peopo dis: “Wat da Joseph ohana guys tell stay right. 6 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell bout wat fo do fo da Zelofehad girls: ‘Okay fo dem marry whoeva dey like, but dey gotta marry somebody inside dea faddah big ohana. 7 No can pass one Israel land from one big ohana to anodda, cuz ery Israel guy goin keep da land dey get from dea ancesta guys. 8 Ery girl dat get land inside one Israel ohana gotta marry one guy inside dea faddah ohana. Dass how ery Israel guy goin get property from dea ancesta guys. 9 No can pass land from one big ohana to anodda big ohana. Cuz ery Israel ohana gotta keep da land dey get from dea ancesta guys.’ ”

10 Jalike Da One In Charge tell Moses, da Zelofehad girls do. 11 Zelofehad girls, Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, an Noah, marry dea cousins from dea faddah side. 12 Dey marry inside da Manasseh line, dat come from Joseph, an da property dey share stay in dea faddah blood line.

13 Dese da rules Da One In Charge give Moses fo give to da Israel peopo, da time dey stay on top da flat part a Moab by da Jordan Riva, da odda side from Jericho.

God Tell Da Peopo Fo Go Way
From Mount Sinai

(Jesus Guys 13:18)

1 Dis wat Moses tell da Israel peopo. Dat time, dey all stay inside da boonies on da east side a da Jordan Riva, inside da Jordan Valley. Dass across Suf, wit Paran on one side an Tofel, Laban, Hazerot, an Dizahab on da odda side. 2 You know, fo walk Mount Sinai to Kadesh-Barnea, take eleven days, even if you go da far away on da Mount Seir road.

3 But dat time, was forty year afta da Israel peopo come outa Egypt, an was winta time. Dass wen Moses tell da Israel peopo eryting Da One In Charge tell him he suppose to tell dem. 4 ✡Moses tell um dis afta dey win ova Sihon, da king fo da Amor peopo dat stay inside Heshbon, an afta dey win ova Og, da king fo da Bashan peopo dat stay inside Ashtarot an Edrei.

5 From da east side a da Jordan Riva inside Moab, Moses start fo make God rules mo easy fo da peopo undastand. He tell: 6 “Wen us guys wen stay Mount Sinai side, oua God, Da One In Charge, tell us, ‘You guys stay ova hea by dis mountain long time awready. 7 Take all yoa stuffs an go up inside da hills wea da Amor peopo stay. Den go wea da peopo dat live nea dem stay, inside da Jordan Riva Valley, an da small hills on da west side, an da Negev boonies south side, an da Mediterranean Sea coast. Go wea da Canaan peopo stay, den go north side to da Lebanon mountains, den go east side all da way to da big Eufrates Riva.’ ”

8 Da One In Charge tell, “Look, I give you guys all dis land awready. Go inside dea an use da land, cuz I wen make one strong promise to yoa ancesta guys Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob, an to dea kids an grankids an you guys.”

Dey Pick Leada Guys Fo Da Twelve Ohana

9 “Befo us guys leave Mount Sinai, me Moses, wen tell you guys, az too hard fo me stay in charge a all you guys an me no mo help. 10 Yoa God, Da One In Charge, make you guys come plenny peopo awready. Az why today you guys stay plenny jalike da stars inside da sky. 11 I like Da One In Charge, da God fo yoa ancesta guys, make you guys come one tousan times mo plenny, an do plenny good kine stuff fo you guys, jalike he wen make one promise fo do befo time. 12 But me, I no can take kea all you guys problems, all da stuff dat bodda you guys, an da stuff you guys squawk bout—wit nobody fo help me. 13 So pick some guys dat know wat fo do erytime, dat undastan plenny stuff, an dat peopo get plenny respeck fo. Pick some fo all da twelve ohanas. Den I goin make dem yoa leada guys.

14 “Den you guys tell me, ‘Az good, wat you tell fo do.’

Dey tell us, ‘Az good, da land dat oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, goin give us.’

Cuz a dat, he goin go inside dat land. An I goin give him an da kids dat come from him, da land wea he wen walk on top.’

37 “Cuz a you guys, Da One In Charge come huhu wit me, Moses, too. He tell me, ‘Not even you goin go inside da land. 38 But yoa helpa guy, Joshua, Nun boy, he goin go inside dea. Talk to him an give him good kine words, cuz he goin lead da Israel peopo fo take ova da land I goin give dem.’

1 ✡“Den we turn aroun an go back inside da boonies on top da road fo go by da Red Sea, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell me fo do. Long time we stay go dis side an dat side aroun da Seir Range. 2 Den Da One In Charge tell me, 3 ‘You guys stay go aroun dis mountain range long time awready. Now, you go turn aroun an go da north side. 4 ✡Tell da peopo wat dey gotta do: “You guys almos goin go pass da land wea yoa braddah guys stay, da peopo dat get Esau fo dea ancesta. Dey live inside da Seir Range. Dey goin come sked a you guys. So watch out plenny so notting happen. 5 No make jalike you figga you goin make war wit dem. Cuz no ways I goin give you guys dea land. You guys no goin even get enuff land dea fo put yoa feets on top um. Cuz I awready wen give da Esau ohana da Seir Range. 6 Us guys goin buy da food us guys eat an da watta us guys drink, an pay dem wit silva.” ’ ”

7 An Moses tell, “Cuz oua God, Da One In Charge, do plenny good stuff fo us guys, an make eryting us guys make come out good. He take kea us guys inside da big boonies. He stay wit us guys fo all dis forty year, an us neva need notting eva.

8 “So us guys go pass oua braddahs, da Esau ohana peopo, dat live inside da Seir Range. We turn from da Arabah road dat come up da Arabah Valley from Elat an Ezion-Geber,

9 ✡“Den Da One In Charge tell me, ‘No make hard fo da Moab peopo an make dem like make war wit you guys. Cuz I no goin give you guys notting from dea land. I awready give dea main town Ar to da Moab peopo dat get Lot fo dea ancesta.’ ”

10 (Da Em peopo live ova dea befo time too. Dey strong an dey plenny peopo, an dey tall jalike da Anak giants. 11 Some peopo call dem da Refa peopo, jalike da Anak peopo, but da Moab peopo call um da Em peopo. 12 Da Hor peopo live inside da Seir Range befo time too, but da Esau ohana peopo get dem outa dea. Dey wipe out da Hor peopo an take ova dea land, jalike us Israel peopo goin make da Canaan peopos get outa da land Da One In Charge give us fo come oua property.)

13 Moses tell da peopo dis too: “Den Da One In Charge tell me, ‘Now, go da odda side a da Zered Stream.’ So we go da odda side to da Moab land.

14 ✡“Az was thirty-eight year afta we go way from Kadesh-Barnea da firs time dat we go da odda side a da Zered Stream. Dat time, all da fighta guys dat wen stay alive befo time, awready mahke, jalike Da One In Charge wen make one strong promise fo erybody know dat he goin do um to dem. 15 Da One In Charge wen stay agains dose guys till he wipe all dem out from da peopo.

No make harsh to dem an no make dem like fight you guys. Cuz no ways I goin give you guys da Ammon peopo land. I awready give dat land to dem cuz dey da Lot ohana peopo.’ ”

20 (Some peopo tink dat land was fo da Refa peopo too, cuz dey live dea befo time, but da Ammon peopo call dem da Zamzum peopo. 21 Dey was strong peopo, an get plenny a dem. Dey tall jalike da Anak giants. Da One In Charge wen let da Ammon peopo wipe out da Refa peopo, an take ova dea land. Den da Ammon peopo live inside dat land, an not da Refa peopo. 22 Da One In Charge do da same ting fo da Esau ohana peopo dat stay live inside da Seir Range, cuz he wen wipe out da Hor peopo dat stay dea befo da Esau peopo. Da Esau ohana take ova dea land an stay live dea till now. 23 An da Av peopo dat live inside da small towns all da way by Gaza, da Filisha peopo dat come dea from Crete Islan wen wipe dem out, an stay live inside dat land now.)

Da Israel Peopo Win Ova Sihon,
Da King Fo Heshbon

24 Moses tell: “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell, ‘Go da odda side a da Arnon Stream now. Look, I give you guys da powa fo fight Sihon awready, da king fo Heshbon town wea da Amor peopo stay, an take ova his land. Start now fo take ova da land an fight King Sihon dem. 25 From today, I goin make all da diffren peopos unda da sky come real sked a you guys. Dey goin hear bout you guys an come sked an shake, an worry plenny cuz a you guys.’ ”

26 Moses tell: “From da boonies Kedemot side, I wen sen some messenja guys fo tell dem fo go by Sihon, da king inside Heshbon, dat us guys like make good wit him. I tell, 27 ‘Try let us guys go pass thru yoa land. We goin stay on top da main road. We no goin go da right side o da lef side. 28 Us guys like buy food an watta fo eat an drink, an us guys goin pay wit silva. Ony let us walk thru dea. 29 Da Esau ohana peopo dat live inside da Seir Range, an da Moab peopo dat live Ar town, dey wen let us guys pass thru dea land an buy food. So us guys like fo you do dat too, till we go da odda side a da Jordan Riva an go inside da land oua God, Da One In Charge, start fo give us.’ 30 But Sihon, da king fo Heshbon town, no like let us go thru dea. Az cuz oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, wen make him hard head, an cuz a dat he give you guys da powa fo take him ova. An now, God let you guys win.

31 “Den Da One In Charge tell me, ‘Look, I start awready fo give you Sihon an his land. Now you guys can start fo make his land yoa property.’

32 “Den Sihon an all his army guys come outside da town fo fight us guys Jahaz side. 33 But oua God, Da One In Charge, give him to us an we bus um up, him an his boys, an all his army guys. 34 Dat time, we take ova all his towns an wipe um all out jalike we stay make one big sacrifice fo God: guys, wahines, an kids. We no let nobody stay alive. 35 But all dea stuffs an da animals from da towns we wen capcha, we take um away fo us use um. 36 From Aroer town wea can look down inside da Arnon Canyon, an da odda town inside da canyon, all da way north side to Gilead, no even get one town dat get big wall dat stay too big fo us guys. Oua God Da One In Charge give us all dem. 37 But jalike oua God, Da One In Charge, tell us guys fo do, we neva go nea da Ammon peopo land, o da land by da Jabbok Riva, o da towns inside da hills.

Da Israel Peopo Win Ova Og,
Da King Fo Bashan

1 “Afta dat we turn go north side by da road dat go Bashan. Og, da king fo da Bashan peopo an all his army guys come out fo fight us by Edrei. 2 Da One In Charge tell me, ‘No come sked King Og, cuz I goin give you guys da powa fo take him, all his army guys, an his land. Make jalike you guys wen make to Sihon, da king fo da Amor peopo, dat was da king fo Heshbon town.’

3 “So, oua God, Da One In Charge, wen give us powa ova Og, da king fo da Bashan peopo, an all his army guys too. We wipe dem all out. No mo nobody stay alive dea. 4 Dat time, we take ova all his big towns. From da sixty towns Argob side, all ova wea Og stay king inside Bashan, neva have one town dat us guy no take ova. 5 All dose big towns get tall walls dat nobody can broke down, an gates wit bars on top um. An get plenny odda town dat no mo wall too. 6 We wen wipe um all out, jalike we stay make one big sacrifice fo God. We do same ting fo Sihon, da king inside Heshbon: we wipe out guys, wahines, an kids. 7 But all dea animals an stuffs, we take um away fo us use um.

8 “Dat time, we take ova da land from da two Amor kings—da land da east side a da Jordan Riva from da Arnon Canyon to Mount Hermon. 9 (Da Sidon peopo call Hermon ‘Sirion,’ an da Amor peopo call um ‘Senir’.) 10 We take all da towns up country an all Gilead, an all Bashan to Salekah, an Edrei, da towns wea Og wen stay king inside da Bashan land. 11 (Ony Og, da king fo Bashan, stay dea from da odda Refa peopo, wen he mahke. Og get one iron punee thirteen feet long an six feet wide. Dat punee still yet stay dea inside Rabbah town wea da Ammon peopo live.)

Dey Split Up Da Land

12 “From da land we take ova dat time, I give da Reuben an da Gad ohanas da land on da north side Aroer by da Arnon Canyon, an half da up country an da towns inside Gilead. 13 Da odda land inside Gilead an all da land inside Bashan, wea Og was king befo time, I give um to half da Manasseh ohana. (You know, all da Argob land inside Bashan, befo time da peopo call um da Refa peopo land. 14 Jair from da Manasseh ohana take ova da land inside Argob, all da way to wea da Geshur peopo an da Maakah peopo stay. Today da peopo still yet call Bashan ‘Jair Towns’.) 15 An I give Gilead to da peopo dat come from Makir, Manasseh boy. 16 But I give da land from Gilead to da Arnon Canyon to da Reuben an Gad ohanas, from da middo a da Arnon Canyon to da Jabbok Riva, wea da Ammon peopo stay. 17 On da west side get da Jordan Riva inside da Arabah Valley, from da Kinneret Lake to da big lake inside da Arabah Valley (az da Big Salt Lake), unda Mount Pisgah, da east side.

18 ✡“Dat time, I wen tell you Reuben, Gad, an Manasseh guys dat goin stay east a da Jordan Riva, wat you gotta do: ‘Yoa God Da One In Charge wen give you guys da land dis side fo come yoa property. Az why all yoa guys dat can fight, gotta take dea bows an arrows an swords, an go da odda side a da Jordan Riva in front da odda Israel peopo fo help dem fight firs. 19 But yoa wifes, yoa kids, an all da animals you get, can stay inside da towns I wen give you guys ova hea. (I know you guys get plenny animals.) 20 Afta yoa braddah guys pau fight, an dey take ova da land dat yoa God, Da One In Charge, stay give dem da odda side a da Jordan Riva too, Da One In Charge goin let dem res. Den all you guys can come back da land I wen awready give you guys ova hea.’

Moses No Can Go
Da Odda Side Da Jordan Riva

21 “Dat time, I tell Joshua wat he gotta do: ‘You awready wen see wat you guys God, Da One In Charge, wen do to dose two kings. Da One In Charge goin do da same ting to all da place dat get king ova dea da odda side wea you guys goin go. 22 You guys no need stay sked a dem. Cuz you guys God Da One In Charge, he da One goin fight fo you guys.’

23 ✡“Dat time I aks Da One In Charge plenny time fo help me. I tell um: 24 ‘You Da One In Charge! You da Boss, an I yoa worka guy. You wen start fo show me how big an how strong you stay. No mo any odda god inside da sky o on top da earth dat can do stuff jalike da awesome kine tings you do. 25 Try let me go da odda side a da Jordan Riva fo see da good land ova dea, up country an Lebanon side.’

26 “But cuz a you guys, Da One In Charge come real huhu wit me, an no like lissen me. He tell, ‘Az enuff awready! No talk to me no mo bout dat! 27 Climb up da top Mount Pisgah. Look da land on da west side, da north side, da south side, an da east side. Cuz you no goin go da odda side a da Jordan Riva. 28 But put Joshua in charge. Give him good kine words, an make him mo strong an solid, cuz he da one goin go da odda side a da Jordan Riva an all dese peopo goin follow him. An he da one goin help dem take ova da land you goin see.’ 29 So us guys stay inside da valley nea Bet-Peor.”

Da Israel Peopo Gotta Lissen!

1 Moses tell: “Lissen, you Israel peopo, wat Da One In Charge tell you guys dat you suppose to do, an da rules he give you. Me, Moses, I goin teach you guys fo do all dat. So lissen, fo you guys stay alive an go inside da land. You guys goin take ova da land dat Da One In Charge, da God fo oua ancesta guys, stay give you guys. 2 ✡No put notting mo to wat I tell you guys fo do, an no take away notting from um. But jus make shua you do wat oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, tell you guys fo do, jalike I stay tell you guys fo do now.

3 ✡“You guys see wat Da One In Charge wen do, da time us guys stay Baal-Peor side. Yoa God Da One In Charge wen wipe out from you guys all da peopo dat wen follow da idol kine god Baal, ova dea Mount Peor side. 4 But all you guys dat stay tight wit yoa God, Da One In Charge, you still stay alive yet.

5 “Look!

Dey goin hear all dis stuff dat Da One In Charge tell you guys you gotta do, an dey goin tell, ‘Fo shua dis one importan peopo—dey know wat fo do erytime, an dey undastan plenny stuff!’ ”

7 Den Moses tell: “Az right! Cuz no mo anodda peopo dat stay mo importan dat get dea gods nea dem, jalike oua God, Da One In Charge, stay nea us guys weneva we pray to him. 8 You tink get odda importan nations dat get rules fo tell wass right an wass wrong, an laws dat stay pono? Fo shua no mo! Da rules an laws dat I stay give you guys today mo betta den all da odda nations!

9 “Watch out fo shua dat you guys no foget da stuff you guys wen see Da One In Charge do! No foget bout um all da time you guys stay alive. Teach yoa kids all dis too, dem an dea kids afta dem. 10 No foget da time you guys wen stan in front oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, Mount Sinai side, wen he tell me, ‘Bring hea all da peopo togedda in front me fo me tell um wat I like tell dem. Az how dey goin learn fo get awesome respeck fo me, all da time dey stay alive inside da land. An I like dey teach wat I tell dem to da kids too.’ 11 ✡You guys wen come nea an stan down side a da mountain, an all dat time da mountain stay burn wit fire an go all da way up to da sky. Get black clouds an stay real dark. 12 Den Da One In Charge talk to you guys from inside da fire.

15 “You guys neva see wat Da One In Charge look jalike, dat time he talk to you guys from inside da fire Mount Sinai side. Az why you guys gotta watch out, 16 ✡dat you no make fo you guys, one idol kine god dat look jalike one guy o one wahine, cuz den you goin jam up an come pilau. 17 ✡No make notting dat look jalike one animal dat stay on top da earth, o any kine bird dat stay fly inside da sky, 18 o notting dat move on top da groun, o any kine fish dat stay inside da big watta. 19 An wen you guys look up inside da sky an see da sun, da moon, an da stars—all da tings dat get inside da sky—no tink you gotta go down pray to dem an do stuff fo dem, notting.

22 ✡Den Moses tell da peopo: “Dis wat Da One In Charge wen tell all you guys fo do wit one loud voice on top da mountain, from inside da fire an cloud an real dark sky, an he no tell notting moa. Den he write um on top two flat stones, an give um to me.

Moses Tell Da Peopo Wat God Tell

23 “Wen you guys wen hear da voice come from da dark sky, an da fire stay burn on top da mountain, all da leada guys from yoa ohanas an yoa older leada guys come by me. 24 You guys tell, ‘You know wat? Oua God Da One In Charge wen show us how awesome an importan he stay. An we hear his voice come from inside da fire. Today we see dat peopo can stay alive still yet, even if God talk to um. 25 So, how come we gotta mahke?! Cuz dis big fire can wipe us guys out!

32 Az why Moses tell da peopo: “So now, you guys make shua you do eryting oua God, Da One In Charge, tell you fo do.

From da time you guys come outa Egypt till you guys come ova hea, you guys stay make Da One In Charge come huhu cuz you no like do wat he tell you fo do. 8 Mount Sinai side, you guys wen make him come real plenny huhu an he wen stay ready fo wipe out you guys. 9 ✡Da time I go up da mountain fo get da flat stones dat show da deal Da One In Charge wen make wit you guys I wen stay on top da mountain forty day an forty nite. I no eat food an no drink watta all dat time. 10 Oua God Da One In Charge give me two flat stones wea he write wit his finga. On top dem, get all da stuff he tell you guys fo do, da time he talk wit you guys from inside da fire on top da mountain. Az was da day all you guys come togedda dea.

11 “Afta I pau stay up dea forty days an forty nites, Da One In Charge give me da two flat stones wea he write da deal he make wit you guys. 12 Den Da One In Charge tell me, ‘Go down dea real fas, cuz yoa peopo dat you wen bring outa Egypt wen come no good an do pilau kine stuff awready! Dey turn away fas from da way I wen tell um fo live. Dey wen make one idol kine god from metal fo dem pray to!’ 13 Da One In Charge tell me, ‘I see awready, an you know wat?! Dese peopo hard head fo shua! 14 No try fo stop me! I goin wipe dem out, fo nobody in da world foget who dem. Den I goin make you, Moses, come one peopo mo strong an mo plenny den dem!’

15 “So I turn aroun an go down da mountain wen still yet stay burning all ova da mountain. Da two flat stones dat get da deal Da One In Charge wen write on top um, I get um inside my two hand. 16 Wen I look, I see you guys stay do real bad kine stuff agains oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us. You guys wen melt metal fo make one idol kine god dat look jalike one bebe cow. You guys wen turn away quick from da way Da One In Charge tell you guys fo live. 17 So I wen take da two flat stones in my hands an throw um down an broke um in front you guys.

18 “Den jalike da firs time, I wen go down in front da Tent Fo Me Wit Da One In Charge fo forty days an forty nites. I no eat food an no drink watta all dat time, cuz a all da stuff you guys stay do dass real bad kine da way Da One In Charge see um, an dat make him come real mad wit you guys. 19 ✡I come real sked, cuz Da One In Charge stay real plenny huhu wit you guys an he like wipe you out den an dea.

Den I throw um inside da stream dat come down da mountain.

22 ✡“Odda times, you guys wen make Da One In Charge come huhu too—Taberah side, Massah side, an Kibrot-Hattaavah side.

23 ✡“An laytas, wen Da One In Charge wen sen you guys fo go out from Kadesh-Barnea, he tell, ‘Go!

You no trus him o lissen wat he tell. 24 You guys no like do wat Da One In Charge tell you fo do, from da firs time I know you guys.

25 “I wen go down in front Da One In Charge dat time fo forty days an forty nites, cuz he wen tell me he goin wipe out you guys. 26 But I pray to Da One In Charge, an I tell, ‘You da One In Charge! You da Boss! Try no wipe out yoa peopo! You own dem, an you wen do wat you gotta do fo get dem outa trouble cuz you big an awesome! You wen use yoa strong powa fo bring um outa Egypt. 27 No foget da guys dat wen work fo you, Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob. No leave us guys, jus cuz dis peopo hard head, an stay do real bad kine stuff.’ 28 Cuz no good da Egypt peopo inside da country wea you wen bring us guys out from, tell, ‘Da One In Charge no can bring dem inside da land he wen promise fo give dem, an he hate dem! Az why he bring dem inside da boonies fo him kill um dea!’ 29 But da Israel peopo, dey yoa peopo. You own dem. You wen use yoa awesome powa fo bring dem outa dea cuz you strong!

Flat Stones Jalike Da Firs Ones

1 “Afta da forty days pau, Da One In Charge tell me, ‘Moses, cut out two mo flat stones jalike da firs ones. Make one spesho wood box too. Den come up hea by me on top da mountain. 2 I goin write on top da flat stones wat I wen write on top da firs ones dat you wen broke. Den you goin put da stones inside da box.’

3 “So I wen make da box from koa wood, an cut out da two flat stones jalike da firs ones. Den I go up da mountain an carry da two flat stones in my hands wit me. 4 Da One In Charge write on top da flat stones da same ting he wen write da firs time, da Ten Main Rules dat he wen tell you guys up da mountain, from inside da fire, wen you guys wen come togedda. An he give da stones to me. 5 Den I come back down da mountain, an put da flat stones inside da box I wen make, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell me fo do. Dey still yet stay dea now, inside da box.”

6 ✡(Afta dat, da Israel peopo go from da Jaakan ohana pukas fo watta to Moserah. Aaron wen mahke ova dea dat time, an dey bury him ova dea, an Aaron boy Eleazar come da Main Pries Guy. 7 From dea dey go to Gudgodah, an den to Jotbatah, one land dat get plenny stream wit watta. 8 ✡Dat time Da One In Charge make da Levi ohana guys spesho fo him, cuz dey goin carry da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. He tell da Levi ohana guys fo stan in front him an make one sacrifice fo him too, an fo pray to God cuz dey his guys, an he do good tings fo dem. An da Levi ohana guys still yet do all dat today. 9 Az why da Levi ohana no mo land o property from Da One In Charge, jalike dea braddahs from da odda ohanas get. Cuz da Levi ohana get Da One In Charge, jalike he wen tell dem.)

10 ✡Den Moses tell, “Me, I wen stay on top da mountain dat time, forty days an forty nites, jalike da firs time. An dat time Da One In Charge lissen me too, an tell az good, he no goin wipe out you guys.”

11 Da One In Charge tell me, “Go! Lead da peopo from hea, fo dem go inside da land an take um ova, jalike I wen make one strong promise to yoa ancesta guys fo give um to dem.”

Stay Sked A Da One In Charge

1 Da pries guys, from da Levi ohana guys, all da Levi ohana peopos, no goin get land an odda property from Da One In Charge, da way da odda Israel peopo get um. Da Levi ohana peopo goin eat da meat from da sacrifices da Israel peopo make wit fire fo Da One In Charge. Dass da kine property dey goin get. 2 ✡Cuz dey no goin get land from Da One In Charge jalike dea braddah guys. Wat dey goin get, az da right fo be da pries guys fo Da One In Charge, jalike he wen make one promise to dem.

3 Dis wat da pries guys get da right fo get from da peopo: Weneva da peopo make one sacrifice wit cows o sheeps o goats, dey give da pries guys da shoulda meat, da jaw meat, an da parts inside da opu. 4 You guys goin give dem da firs wheat an barley dat you harves, da new wine, da firs olive oil dat you press, an da firs wool from yoa sheeps wen you cut um. 5 Az cuz yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen pick all da guys dat come from Levi outa all da odda Israel ohanas.

No try talk to da spirits, o da guys dat get secret kine powa, o dat aks da mahke guys wass goin happen. 12 Somebody make lidat, az pilau, da way Da One In Charge see um.

You guys wen tell, “No let us hear da voice from oua God, Da One In Charge, o no let us see dis big fire no moa! Bumbye us goin mahke!”

17 Wen dey tell dat, Da One In Charge tell me, Moses, “Wat dey tell stay good. 18 I goin bring one guy from yoa peopo, dat talk fo me to da Israel peopo, jalike you, Moses. I goin tell dat guy wat fo tell, an he goin tell dem eryting I tell him. 19 ✡If no mo nobody like lissen wat da guy dat talk fo me tell cuz he my guy, I goin poin finga dat guy. 20 But any odda guy dat tell he stay talk fo me, but tell dem stuff dat I neva tell him fo tell, o any guy dat talk fo odda gods, you guys gotta kill dem.”

21 Maybe you guys goin tink, “How us guys can know if one guy tell he talk fo Da One In Charge, but az not wat Da One In Charge tell um fo tell dat?” 22 If one talka guy tell dat he talk fo Da One In Charge, but wat he tell no happen, den az neva come from Da One In Charge.

If da guy neva make plan befo time fo kill da odda guy, den okay fo him run away ova dea inside da spesho town, an nobody get da right fo kill um ova dea. 5 Jalike if somebody go inside one place wit his fren fo cut one tree fo wood, an wen he swing da ax fo cut down da tree, da head fly off an kill his fren. Dat kine guy can run to one a dese spesho towns wea somebody can go if dey wen kill somebody but neva make plan fo kill um befo time, an no mo nobody get da right fo go kill um inside dat town. 6 But if ony get one town, den maybe one ohana guy dat get da right fo pay um back goin come huhu an chase um. An if da spesho town stay too far, maybe he catch um up an kill um befo he reach da spesho town. Dat can happen no matta da guy dat run away no mo da blame fo kill da odda guy, cuz he neva hate da guy befo time. 7 Az why I stay tell you guys fo pick three towns fo dat.

“You guys wen see all wat Da One In Charge do to Pharaoh Egypt side, to all Pharaoh leada guys, an all his peopo an land. You guys wen see all da bad kine stuff dat come on top dem, an all da awesome kine stuff he do fo show who him. 4 But still yet today Da One In Charge no give you da eyes fo see, o da ears fo hear. Az why you guys no undastan all dat.”

5 Moses tell dat Da One In Charge tell, “All da time fo forty year dat me Da One In Charge wen lead you guys inside da boonies, yoa clotheses an yoa slippas neva come boros. 6 You guys neva eat bread, but I give you guys da manna fo eat, an you neva drink wine o beer. Me, Da One In Charge do all dis so you guys goin know dat me, Da One In Charge, I yoa God fo real kine.

Make shua dey no go down an show respeck to da idol kine gods from dose peopos. Make shua no mo notting wit you guys dat make eryting come pilau.

19 “Wen dat kine guy hear wat dis strong promise tell, he aks fo good kine stuff fo him from Da One In Charge. Cuz a dat, he tink, ‘I goin be okay, no matta I still yet do wat I like.’ Cuz he tink lidat, God goin wipe out da land dat get watta, an da dry land too. 20 Da One In Charge fo shua no goin let dat kine guy go. Da One In Charge tell ‘Laytas’ to dat kine stuff. All da bad kine stuff dis book tell goin happen to dat kine guy, an Da One In Charge goin hemo his name from unda da sky. 21 Da One In Charge goin hemo dat guy from all da ohanas inside da Israel peopo, jalike dis book tell bout all da real bad kine tings dat goin happen to da peopo dat no do all dat da Rules tell inside dis Deal.

22 “Yoa kids dat goin come bumbye, an da peopo from far place goin see all da bad kine stuff dat stay come on top da land, an da kine sick dat Da One In Charge give um. 23 ✡Da whole land goin stay jalike was burn up from salt an sulfur. Nobody goin plant notting dea. No can make notting grow dea. No mo notting green come up. Goin be jalike wen Sodom an Gomorrah towns wen come wipe out, an wen Da One In Charge bus up Admah an Zeboiim towns cuz he real mad wit dem. 24 All da odda peopos goin aks, ‘How come Da One In Charge do dis to dis land? How come he real huhu?’

25 “An some odda peopo goin tell, ‘Az cuz da peopo dea no like take da Deal dat Da One In Charge, da God fo dea ancesta guys, wen make wit dem wen he bring dem outa Egypt. 26 Dey wen go off an work fo odda gods, an show respeck fo da idol kine gods dey donno befo time, dat God neva give dem da right fo pray to. 27 Az why Da One In Charge stay real huhu wit dis land an da peopo inside.

Joshua Goin Take Charge Afta Moses

1 Den Moses go out an tell dis to all da Israel peopo: 2 ✡“Me, I one hundred twenny year ol now, an I no can go hea an dea no moa. Da One In Charge tell me, ‘You no goin go da odda side a da Jordan Riva!’ 3 Yoa God Da One In Charge, he da One goin go da odda side in front you guys. He goin wipe out da peopos in front you guys, an you guys goin take ova dea land. Joshua, he goin go ova in front you guys too, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell. 4 ✡Da One In Charge goin make to dose peopos jalike he wen do to Sihon an Og, da kings fo da Amor peopo.

No come sked an shaking cuz dey look tough, cuz yoa God, Da One In Charge, he da One go wit you guys. He goin help you guys erytime. An he not goin bag from you!”

7 Den Moses tell Joshua fo come by him. He tell um in front all da Israel peopo, “Come strong an no lose fight, cuz you goin go wit dis peopo inside da land dat Da One In Charge make one spesho promise to oua ancesta guys dat he goin give dem da land. You da one goin tell da ohana wat land goin come dea property. 8 ✡Da One In Charge, he da One goin go in front you guys, an he goin stay wit you guys. He goin help you guys erytime He not goin bag from you! No sked! No lose fight!”

Dey Read Da Rules

(Outa Egypt 23:10-11; Prieses 25:17)

9 So Moses write down dese rules an give um to da pries guys from da Levi ohana, dat carry da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge, an he give um to all da older leadas fo da Israel peopo. 10 ✡Den Moses tell dem, “Afta ery seven year, wen erybody gotta let go an foget bout wat odda peopo owe dem, den erybody gotta make Da Spesho Religious Ceremony Fo Live Inside Shacks. 11 Dass da time wen all da Israel peopo come fo stan in front oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, by da place he goin pick. Dat time, you goin read dese rules to dem fo all dem hear you. 12 Call all da peopo togedda—da guys, da wahines, an da kids, an guys from anodda place dat live inside yoa towns, fo dem lissen an learn fo dem stay sked a oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, an fo dem stay do eryting dese rules tell um fo do. 13 Dea kids dat donno dese rules, dey gotta hear an learn um fo dem stay sked a oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, all da time you guys stay live inside da land dat you guys goin go da odda side a da Jordan Riva fo take ova.”

Da Israel Peopo Goin Go Agains Da One In Charge Bumbye

14 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “Now, da time stay nea wen you goin mahke. Call Joshua an go stan togedda inside da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit Me. I goin make him da one in charge a da Israel peopo from now.” So Moses an Joshua go Da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit Da One In Charge.

15 Den Da One In Charge come inside da tent an den dey see him, inside one cloud dat go from da groun to da sky. Dat cloud stay ova da door fo da tent. 16 Da One In Charge tell Moses, “You get litto bit mo time, an you goin go res wit yoa ancesta guys. But dese peopo, dey goin go down in front da odda gods dat da diffren peopos pray to ova dea inside da land dey goin go inside fo take ova. Dey goin do tings wit dose gods, jalike wen peopo go fool aroun behind dea husban o wife back. Dey goin bag from me, an broke da deal I wen make wit dem. 17 Da time wen dat happen, I goin come huhu wit dem, an leave dem behind. I goin hide my face from dem, an I goin wipe dem out. Plenny trouble goin happen to dem an hard time goin come. Dat time, dey goin tell, ‘Fo shua, us guys get all dis bad kine stuff happen cuz oua God no stay wit us, aah?’ 18 Den I goin hide my face from dem dat time fo shua, cuz a all da bad kine stuff dey do wen dey bag from me an start fo pray to odda gods.

19 “Now you an Joshua, write down dis song fo jus you guys. Den you, Moses, you teach um to da Israel peopo fo dem sing um. Cuz dis song goin tell wat I wen see um do fo judge dem. 20 Wen I bring dem inside da land wea get plenny milk an honey erytime, da land I wen make one spesho promise to dea ancestas fo give dem, dey goin eat all dey like an come full, an eryting goin go good fo dem. Den dey goin turn away an go down in front odda gods an work fo dem. Dey goin go agains me, an broke da Deal I wen make wit dem. 21 Laytas, wen plenny bad kine stuff an hard time come on top dem, dis song goin tell wat I wen see um do, fo judge dem, cuz dea kids no goin foget da song, an dey goin sing um. I know wat dey tink an wat dey like do, even now befo I bring dem inside da land dat I wen make one spesho promise fo give to dem.” 22 So Moses write dis song dat same day, an teach um to da Israel peopo.

23 ✡Dis how Da One In Charge tell Joshua, Nun boy, wat he gotta do: “Stay real strong, an no lose fight! Cuz you goin bring da Israel peopo inside da land I wen make one spesho promise fo give dem. An me, I da One goin stay wit you.”

24 Afta Moses pau write inside one book wat dese rules tell, from da start to da end, 25 he tell dis rule to da Levi ohana guys dat carry da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge: 26 “Take dis book wit da rules inside, an put um by da side a da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. Da book goin stay dea fo tell wat I wen see da Israel peopo do fo judge dem. 27 Cuz I know how you guys wen go agains me, an dat you guys hard head. I know you guys wen go agains Da One In Charge wen I still yet stay hea wit you guys, an fo shua you guys goin go agains him even mo plenny afta I mahke!

28 “Bring togedda by me, all da older leadas from yoa ohanas, an da officer guys, fo me tell dem dis fo dem lissen. I goin call all da powas inside da sky an on top da earth fo tell wat dey wen see da peopo do fo judge dem. 29 Cuz fo shua afta I mahke, you guys goin jam up eryting real bad, an make eryting come pilau. You guys goin tell ‘Laytas’ to me an no do wat I tell you guys fo do. An layta, plenny bad kine stuff goin come on top you guys, cuz you guys goin do da kine stuff dass bad, da way Da One In Charge see you guys stay do. You guys goin make him come huhu cuz a da tings you guys make wit yoa hands.”

Moses Mahke

1 Den Moses climb up from da flat country inside Moab to Mount Nebo, up da top a da Pisgah Range, across Jericho. Ova dea Da One In Charge show him da whole land, from Gilead to Dan, 2 all da Naftali land, da land fo Efraim an Manasseh, all da land fo Judah to da Mediterranean Sea west side, 3 da Negev country south side, an all da land from da Jericho Valley (az Palm Tree Town), all da way to Zoar town. 4 ✡Den Da One In Charge tell him, “Dis, da land I wen make one spesho promise fo give to Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob. I tell um. ‘I goin give dis land to da peopo dat goin come from you guys.’ I let you see um, but you no goin go da odda side a da Jordan Riva fo go ova dea inside um.”

5 Den Moses, da guy dat work fo Da One In Charge, he mahke ova dea Moab side, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell him. 6 Da One In Charge bury Moses inside Moab, inside da valley in front Bet-Peor town. But even today, no mo nobody know wea he stay bury. 7 Moses was one hundred an twenny year ol wen he mahke, but his eyes still see good an he still yet stay strong. 8 Da Israel peopo stay inside da flat country place Moab side thirty days, cuz dey stay sad inside an cry plenny afta Moses mahke, till da time fo cry pau.

1 Joshua, Nun boy, was Moses helpa, an Moses wen work fo Da One In Charge. Afta Moses mahke, Da One In Charge tell Joshua dis: 2 “My helpa Moses mahke. So now, you an all da Israel peopo get ready fo cross da Jordan Riva, an go inside da land dat I stay ready fo give you guys. 3 ✡I give you guys all da place you goin walk, jalike I wen make one promise to Moses. 4 You guys land goin go all da way from da boonies south side to Lebanon north side, to da big Eufrates Riva east side, an da land wea da Het peopo stay, to da Mediterranean Sea west side. 5 ✡Nobody goin stan up agains you, all da time you stay alive. Jalike I wen stay wit Moses, az how I goin stay wit you. I goin help you erytime, an I not goin bag from you.

6 ✡“Come strong an no lose fight! Cuz you goin give dis peopo dea property—da land dat I wen promise dea ancesta guys dat I goin give um. 7 But you betta stay real strong an no lose fight fo shua! Make shua you do eryting my helpa Moses wen tell you fo do. No do um diffren, not even litto bit. Den eryting goin go good fo you guys, wea eva you go. 8 Read dis Book fo erybody hear um, cuz dat teach you guys my Rules. Tink bout um day time an nite time fo make shua you do eryting dat stay inside da Book. Den eryting you do goin come out real good. 9 I neva tell you awready? You gotta come real strong an no lose fight fo shua! No sked notting, an no come bum out! Cuz me, yoa God, Da One In Charge, I goin stay wit you wea eva you go.”

Joshua Tell Da Israel Peopo Wat Fo Do

10 Dass why Joshua tell dis to da officer guys fo da peopo: 11 “Go by all da tents an tell da peopo fo do dis: ‘Get yoa food an stuffs ready! Da day afta tomorra, you guys goin go da odda side a da Jordan Riva. You guys goin go ova dea, an take ova da land dat oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, stay give you guys fo make um yoa property.’ ”

12 ✡Den Joshua tell da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana, 13 “No foget wat Moses, da guy dat work fo Da One In Charge, wen tell you guys. He tell, ‘Yoa God Da One In Charge goin let you guys res afta you come back. He give you guys da land dis side.’ 14 Yoa wifes, yoa kids, an yoa animals goin stay inside da land Moses wen give you guys on dis side a da Jordan Riva. But all you guys dat can fight, you goin go across da riva wit all yoa stuffs fo fight. Dey goin go across firs, befo yoa braddah guys fo you guys help dem. 15 An you guys goin help yoa braddah guys till Da One In Charge let dem res, jalike he do awready fo you guys. Yoa braddahs goin take ova da land dat yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen give dem. Den you guys goin go back da land dis east side a da Jordan Riva. Dass wea Moses, da guy dat work fo Da One In Charge, tell you guys goin take um ova.”

16 Da peopo tell Joshua, “We goin do eryting you tell us fo do, an we goin go wea eva you sen us. 17 Jalike us guys wen lissen Moses, we goin lissen you. We like oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, stay wit you, jalike he wen stay wit Moses! 18 Whoeva go agains wat you tell, an no do eryting you tell um fo do, dey goin mahke. Ony stay strong an do eryting you gotta do.”

Rahab Take Kea Da Spy Guys

1 ✡Da Canaan peopo neva know, but Joshua, Nun boy, sen two guys from Koa Tree Town fo scope out da land, fo find out how stay. He tell um, “Go find out how da land stay, da odda side Jordan. Scope um out. Jericho da main town us guys need fo know bout.”

So dey go ova dea. Dey go by one hoa. Her name, Rahab. Dey stay dea. 2 Somebody tell da Jericho king, “You know wat?! Some Israel guys wen come hea afta da sun go down, fo find out how oua land stay!” 3 Da Jericho king sen somebody by Rahab fo tell her, “Bring outside da guys dat wen come yoa house, cuz dey stay come fo scope out all oua land.” 4 But Rahab wen hide da guys awready. She tell da king, “Dass true dey wen come by me. But I neva know wea dey come from. 5 Wen litto mo ready fo come dark outside, an da peopo stay ready fo close da town gate, da guys wen go way, an me, I donno wat way dey go. Quick, go run afta dem! Maybe you can catch um up!” 6 (But befo time, you know, she wen take dem up on top da flat roof, an hide um unda some flax plants dat stay pile up dea.) 7 So da Jericho guys start fo run afta da Israel guys. Dey go da road wea peopo go across da Jordan Riva. Wen da Jericho guys go outa da town gate, odda Jericho guys close da gate.

8 Da Israel guys neva sleep still yet, an Rahab come by dem on top da roof. 9 She tell um, “I know Da One In Charge wen give you guys dis land awready. An I know, all us guys stay real sked a you guys. Erybody dat stay live hea stay shaking cuz us real sked! 10 ✡We hear dat Da One In Charge wen dry up da Red Sea fo you guys wen you come outa Egypt. An we hear wat you guys wen do to da two kings fo da Amor peopo da odda side a da Jordan Riva, Sihon an Og—you guys wen wipe um out jalike dey one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge. 11 Wen we hear dat, us lose fight, an no mo nobody like do notting agains you guys. Cuz yoa God, Da One In Charge, he da ony God in da sky up dea an on top da earth down hea. 12 Now, cuz I wen take kea you guys, try help me! You guys gotta make one promise in front Da One In Charge, dat you guys goin take kea my ohana. Make dat promise an give me one sign 13 dat you guys no goin kill my faddah o my muddah, my braddahs o my sistahs, an all dea ohana. You guys goin make shua us no goin mahke, aah?!” 14 Da Israel guys tell her, “Us guys promise, dat if yoa ohana mahke, den us two guys goin mahke too. If you no tell nobody wat us guys wen come hea fo do, fo shua us guys make one strong promise fo take kea yoa ohana, wen Da One In Charge give us dis land.”

15 Den Rahab put um down from one window wit one rope, cuz one wall a her house was da town wall too. 16 Befo she let um go, she tell um, “Go up da hills, fo da guys dat stay chase you guys no find you. Stay ova dea three days, till dose guys come back hea. Den you guys can go back by yoa peopo.”

17-18 An da Israel guys tell her, “Us guys goin come inside yoa land fo fight. Wen us come, you gotta tie dis red rope fo hang outside dis same window wea you goin put us down outside da wall right now. An bring yoa faddah an muddah, yoa braddah guys, an all yoa ohana inside yoa house. If you no do dose two tings, God goin hemo us guys from da promise you wen make us make to you! 19 If any a yoa ohana peopo go outside yoa house, an get kill on da street, dey da ones goin get da blame fo dat, not us. But if whoevas hurt yoa ohana dat stay inside da house wit you guys, den us goin get da blame fo dat. 20 An dis too: if you tell somebody wat us guys goin do, God goin hemo us from da promise you wen make us make.” 21 Rahab tell dem, “Kay den, do um jalike you guys tell.”

Den Rahab sen dem away. Dey go. An she tie da red rope fo hang outside da window.

22 Da two Israel guys, dey go up da hills an stay dea three days. Da Jericho guys dat wen go chase dem look all ova da road, an no find dem, so dey go back.

23 Den da two Israel guys come back down da hill an cross ova da Jordan Riva. Dey go by Joshua, Nun boy, an tell him da story, eryting dey wen find out. 24 Dey tell Joshua, “Da One In Charge stay give us all da land fo take ova. An all da peopo ova dea stay jalike dey melting in front us, cuz dey real sked!”

Da Israel Peopo Go Across Da Jordan Riva

1 Nex morning, Joshua an all da Israel peopo get up real early. Dey leave Koa Tree Town an go all da way to da Jordan Riva. Dey make camp dea befo dey go across da riva. 2 Afta dey stay dea three day, da officer guys go all ova da camp. 3 Dey tell da peopo wat dey gotta do: “You guys goin see Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Yoa God Da One In Charge Wen Make. Da pries guys from da Levi ohana goin carry um. Wen you guys see dat, you gotta leave from wea you guys stay, an follow dem. 4 Den you guys goin know wea fo go, cuz you guys neva go dat way befo time. But no go nea Da Box. Stay bout one tousan yards back behind um.”

5 Den Joshua tell da peopo, “Make spesho fo Da One In Charge, cuz tomorra he goin do plenny awesome stuff fo you guys, dat goin make yoa jaws drop!”

6 Joshua tell da pries guys, “Pick up Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal an go walk in front us guys.” So da pries guys take Da Box an go walk in front, an da peopo follow dem.

7 Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “Today I goin start fo make you come mo importan, da way all da Israel peopo goin see you. Dass how dey goin know dat I stay wit you jalike I wen stay wit Moses. 8 Tell da pries guys dat carry Da Box Fo Da Deal, ‘Wen you guys reach da edge a da Jordan Riva, go stan inside da riva.’ ”

9 Den Joshua tell da Israel peopo, “Come ova hea! Lissen wat yoa God, Da One In Charge, tell! 10 Dis how you guys goin know dat da God dat stay alive, he stay wit you guys. An he goin take away da land from all da peopo dat stay inside da land, wen dey face you guys! He goin make da land come yoa property! Az da Canaan peopo, da Het peopo, da Hiv peopo, da Periz peopo, da Girgash peopo, da Amor peopo, an da Jebus peopo. 11 Look ova dea! Az da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal from da Boss fo da whole world! Da pries guys goin carry dat Box across da Jordan Riva, den you guys goin go across. 12 So now, pick twelve guys from da twelve Israel ohanas, one guy fo ery ohana. 13 Da pries guys dat carry Da Box Fo Da One In Charge, da Boss fo da whole world, goin go stan inside da Jordan Riva watta. Wen dey do dat, da watta dat stay come down da riva goin stop! Da watta goin stay dea an pile up!”

14 So da peopo leave da place wea dey wen put up dea tents fo go across da Jordan Riva. Da pries guys dat carry Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal go firs. 15 (You gotta know dat da Jordan Riva stay big an run ova da sides, spring time, all da time da peopo stay harves food.) But dat day, da pries guys dat carry Da Box go da edge a da Jordan Riva, an dea feets go inside da watta. 16 Right den an dea, da watta dat come from mo high up in da riva stop. Make one pile far away mauka side, by one town name Adam, one side Zaretan. All da res a da riva watta dat go down to da Big Salt Lake go dea. So da riva bottom come dry up. Az how da Israel peopo go across da riva to da odda side nea Jericho. 17 Da pries guys dat carry Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge, dey stan on top da dry riva bottom inside da middo a da Jordan Riva. All da Israel peopo pass dem. Wen erybody pass, da whole nation stay stan dea on top da dry groun, da odda side a da Jordan Riva.

1 Wen all da peopo pau go across da Jordan Riva, Da One In Charge tell Joshua, 2 “Go pick twelve guys from da peopo, one guy fo ery big ohana. 3 Tell um fo go pick up twelve stones from da middo a da Jordan Riva, from da place wea da pries guys stay stan. Take um wit you da odda side, an put um down wea you guys goin stay tonite.”

4 So Joshua call togedda da twelve guys he wen pick from da Israel peopo, one guy from ery ohana, 5 an he tell um, “Go ova in front da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Da One In Charge Wen Make. Go by da middo a da Jordan Riva, an all you guys lif up one stone on top yoa shoulda, one stone fo ery Israel ohana. 6 Da stones goin be jalike one sign fo you guys. Bumbye, wen yoa kids aks you guys, ‘How come get dese stones?’ 7 Tell um, ‘Wen da pries guys take Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Da One In Charge Wen Make an go cross da Jordan Riva, da riva wen pau run. Dese stones goin be jalike one sign fo da Israel peopo, fo no foget foeva wat wen happen hea.’ ”

8 So da Israel peopo do wat Joshua tell um fo do. Dey take twelve stones from da middo a da Jordan Riva, one stone fo ery ohana, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Joshua fo do. An dey take da stones by dea camp, an put um down dea. 9 Az how dey bring da stones from in da middo a da Jordan Riva, wea da pries guys dat carry Da Box wen stan, an Joshua put um down ova dea. An da stones stay dea still yet today.

10 Da pries guys dat stay carry Da Box, dey still stay stan inside da middo da Jordan Riva. Dey stan dea till da peopo pau eryting Da One In Charge wen tell Joshua dey gotta do. Da peopo go fas fo cross da riva, jalike Moses wen tell Joshua. 11 Wen all da peopo pau cross da riva, da pries guys an Da Box Fo Da One In Charge go da west side a da riva. Den dey pass da odda peopo an go in front dem. 12 Da guys from da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana go across too, ready fo fight. Dey go in front all da peopo right afta da pries guys, jalike Moses wen tell um fo do. 13 Had bout 40,000 guys wit all dea stuff fo fight, go across in front Da One In Charge, to da flat place aroun Jericho, ready fo make war.

14 Az was da time Da One In Charge make Joshua importan da way all da Israel peopo see um. Dey get plenny respeck fo him all da time he stay alive, jalike dey wen get fo Moses.

15 Den one mo ting Da One In Charge wen tell Joshua: 16 “Tell da pries guys dat carry Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal fo come up outa da Jordan Riva,”

17 Joshua tell um, “Go come up outa da Jordan Riva.”

18 So da pries guys come up outa da Riva carrying Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Da One In Charge Wen Make. Wen dea feets touch dry groun, da watta inside da riva come back an flood ova da sides jalike befo time.

19 Day numba ten, da firs month, da peopo come up outa da Jordan Riva an make camp by Gilgal on da east side a Jericho. 20 Den Joshua set up da twelve stones dey wen take from da riva nea Gilgal. 21 He tell da peopo, “Bumbye, wen yoa kids aks dea faddah guys, ‘How come get dese stones?’ 22 Tell dem, ‘Da Israel peopo wen go cross da Jordan Riva on top da dry groun.’ 23 Cuz yoa God, Da One In Charge, make da Jordan Riva come dry till you guys go across. Az was jalike he wen do to da Red Sea, da time he make da sea come dry till all da peopo go across. 24 He do dis fo all da peopos on top da earth know dat Da One In Charge get plenny powa! An he do um fo you guys stay sked a Da One In Charge an get respeck fo him all da time!”

Da Peopo Cut Skin Gilgal Side

1 Dat time, da Amor peopo live da west side a da Jordan Riva. Da Canaan peopo live on da coast. Da king guys fo da Amor peopo an da Canaan peopo hear how Da One In Charge wen make da Jordan Riva come dry, fo us Israel peopo go across um. Az why dey wen come bum out. Dey lose fight an no like beef da Israel peopo.

2 Dat time, Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “Make knifes from hard stone. Cut skin da Israel guys dat no do um befo time.” 3 So Joshua make knifes from hard stone an cut skin all da Israel guys. Dey do dat Gibeat-Haaralot side.

4 ✡Dis how come Joshua do dat. All da guys dat stay ol enuff fo fight wen dey come outa Egypt, dey wen mahke inside da boonies afta da peopo come outa Egypt. 5 All da guys dat come outa Egypt get da cut skin mark. But da guys dat wen born inside da boonies wen da peopo stay go inside dea, dey no mo da mark. 6 Da Israel peopo wen move aroun inside da boonies fo forty year, till all da guys in da nation dat stay ol enuff fo fight wen dey come outa Egypt. All dose guys mahke cuz dey neva lissen Da One In Charge. You know, Da One In Charge wen make one strong promise to dem guys, fo erybody know dat he goin do um. He tell um dat dey no goin see da land dat Da One In Charge wen promise dea ancesta guys dat he goin give us guys, da land dat get plenny milk an honey. 7 So Da One In Charge wen make da boys grow up afta dea faddahs mahke. Az da ones Joshua cut skin fo dem now. All da time dey move aroun inside da boonies, dey still yet no cut skin. 8 Afta all da guys in da nation cut skin, dey stay inside dea tents till dey all come good.

9 Den Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “Today, I take away da shame you guys wen get cuz you was slaves Egypt side.” Az why erybody still yet call dat place Gilgal.

10 ✡Day numba fourteen dat month, wen litto mo dark, an da Israel peopo still stay camp Gilgal side, dey make da spesho Passova religious kine ceremony. 11 Da nex day dey harves some a da food dat wen grow ova dea inside da land, an eat um. Dey make bread dat no mo yeast, an wheat an barley dat dey roas. 12 ✡Da manna pau come da nex day afta dey eat da food from da land. No mo manna fo da Israel peopo dat time. Den dey start fo eat food dat grow inside Canaan.

Jericho Town Come Bus Up

13 One time wen Joshua stay nea Jericho town, he look up an see one guy stay standing in front him. Da guy get one sword inside his hand. Joshua go by him an tell, “Eh! You stay wit us guys, o wit da guys dat stay agains us?”

14 Da guy tell, “I not fo you guys o fo da guys dat stay agains you. But I stay in charge a da army guys fo Da One In Charge. Dass why I stay come hea.” Den Joshua go down quick fo put his face on top da groun, fo show he get awesome respeck fo da guy. Joshua aks um, “Wat my Boss like tell me, his worka guy?”

15 Da guy in charge a da army guys fo Da One In Charge tell him, “Take off yoa slippas. Da place wea you stay stan, dass spesho fo Da One In Charge.” So Joshua do um.

6

1 Da peopo inside Jericho town, dey wen shut da gates real tight cuz da Israel peopo stay outside. Nobody can go outside an nobody can go inside.

2 Den Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “Try look! I stay give you Jericho town, an dea king, an dea army guys. 3 You an yoa army guys, go march aroun da town one time. Do dat fo six days. 4 Go get seven pries guys fo go in front da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Me, Da One In Charge Wen Make. Dey goin carry seven sheep horn trumpet. Day numba seven, dey goin march aroun da town seven time. All da time dey goin blow da trumpets. 5 Wen you hear dem blow da sheep horn trumpets one long time, tell all da army guys fo yell real loud. Den da walls fo da town goin fall down, an all da Israel peopo goin go strait inside ova da wall.”

6 So Joshua, Nun boy, he tell da pries guys come by him. He tell um, “Pick up da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Da One In Charge Wen Make. An tell seven pries guys fo take sheep horn trumpets an go in front da Box.” 7 Den he tell da peopo, “Go! March aroun da town. Some a da army guys take da tings dey need fo fight, an go in front da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Da One In Charge Wen Make.”

8 Afta Joshua tell da peopo wat fo do, da seven pries guys dat carry da seven sheep horn trumpets in front Da One In Charge go in front, blow dea trumpets, an da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal come nex. 9 Da army guys go firs in front da pries guys dat blow da trumpets, an da Box come nex. All da time da pries guys stay blow da trumpets. 10 Joshua awready tell da peopo, “No yell jalike fo fight, no make noise, an no even talk! Ony da time I tell you guys fo yell, dat time you guys goin yell real loud!” 11 So Joshua tell dem fo take da Box aroun da town one time. Den da peopo go back dea camp an sleep dea dat nite.

12 Early da nex morning, Joshua dem get up. Da pries guys pick up da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. 13 Da seven pries guys take da seven trumpets an go in front da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. Dey blow da trumpets. Da army guys go in front dem, an odda army guys come afta dem. Da pries guys still yet stay blow da trumpets. 14 So day numba two, dey march aroun da town one time an go back dea camp. Dey do same ting fo six days.

15 Day numba seven, dey get up wen almos get light. Dey march aroun da town jalike befo, but dis time, dey do um seven time. 16 Da numba seven time, wen da pries guys blow da trumpets mo loud, Joshua tell da peopo, “Yell! Cuz Da One In Charge wen give you guys dis town! 17 Da town an eryting inside um, come kapu fo erybody. Da town ony fo Da One In Charge, fo come jalike one sacrifice! Ony Rahab, da hoa, an her ohana, no kill dem! Cuz she da one wen hide da guys us wen sen dea fo scope out da land. 18 But watch out! No touch da stuff dat stay kapu fo you guys, cuz make you come pilau. Az why goin come wipe out cuz you take um. Cuz if you do dat, you goin make da Israel camp come pilau, an you guys goin jam up oua peopo too. 19 All da silva, gold, bronze, an iron stuff, az all kapu fo Da One In Charge. Az why all dat gotta stay wit all da odda rich kine stuffs dat stay kapu fo ony God.”

20 ✡Den da pries guys blow da trumpets an da peopo yell. Wen get da loud noise from da trumpets an da peopo, da walls fall down! Den ery Israel army guy go strait inside, an dey take ova da town. 21 Dey make da town spesho fo Da One In Charge, jalike az one big sacrifice. Da Israel guys wipe out eryting inside um—da guys, da wahines, da young guys, da ol guys, da cows, da sheeps, an da donkeys.

22 Joshua tell da two guys dat wen go dea fo scope out da land befo time, “Go inside wea da hoa live an bring her an her ohana outside, jalike you guys wen make one strong promise to her fo do dat.” 23 So da young guys dat wen go dea befo time go inside an bring out Rahab, her faddah, muddah, braddahs, an all her peopo. Dey take her ohana, an put dem one place outside da Israel camp.

24 Den dey burn down da whole town an eryting inside um. But da silva, gold, an da bronze an iron stuffs, dey put um togedda with da odda rich stuffs fo Da One In Charge house. 25 ✡But Rahab, da hoa, Joshua no let nobody hurt her o her ohana.

26 ✡Dat time, Joshua make dis strong promise fo erybody know dat God goin do um: “If somebody like go build Jericho town one mo time, in front Da One In Charge I tell dis: Goin cost him plenny. If he put down da foundation, his firs boy goin mahke, an if he put up da gates, his las boy goin mahke.”

27 So Da One In Charge stay tight wit Joshua, an all ova da land Joshua stay famous.

Akan Do One Bad Ting

1 But da Israel peopo no do wat God tell um fo do fo no touch da kapu stuff. Akan, Zimri boy an Zerah grankid, from da Judah ohana, rip off some a da kapu tings. Az why God come huhu wit da Israel peopo.

2 Joshua sen guys from Jericho to Ai, nea Bet-Aven, da east side Bethel. He tell dem, “Go up dea fo scope out da land.” So da guys go an scope out Ai.

3 Wen dey come back by Joshua, dey tell um, “No need sen all da army guys agains Ai. Cuz ony get litto bit guys ova dea. Ony need two o three tousan guys fo win ova um. No need make all da peopo come all had it.” 4 So ony bout three tousan army guys go up dea. But da Ai guys chase um away from da town gate. 5 Da Ai guys chase um from in front da town gate an down da hill, to da place wea dey cut stone blocks. Dey kill bout thirty-six a da Israel guys. Den da odda Israel guys come bum out an lose fight, jalike dea heart come weak.

6 Joshua rip his clotheses, an go down an put his face on top da groun in front da Box Fo No Foget Da One In Charge. He stay dea till litto mo dark. Da older leadas fo da Israel peopo do da same ting, an throw dirt on top dea head fo show dey stay sad inside. 7 Joshua tell, “Haah, Da One In Charge?! You da Boss! But how come you bring dese peopo across da Jordan Riva fo let da Amor peopo wipe us out?! Mo betta us wen stay da odda side a da Jordan Riva! 8 Eh my Boss, try help me! Wat I can tell afta dis?! Now, us Israel guys wen turn aroun an run away from da guys dat stay agains us! 9 Da Canaan peopo an da odda peopo inside da land goin hear bout dis, an dey goin make one circle aroun us an wipe us out. Den us no goin be no moa! Den wat you goin do fo show peopo dat you get powa?”

10 Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “Stan up! Wat you stay doing down dea wit yoa face inside da dirt?! 11 Da Israel peopo wen do someting bad! Dey broke da deal I wen make wit dem, dat I wen tell you guys fo respeck. Dey wen take some a da kapu tings! Dey steal um, dey bulai bout um, an dey put um wit dea stuffs! 12 Az why da Israel peopo no can stan up agains da guys dat stay agains dem. Dey goin turn aroun an run away! Az cuz da Israel peopo wen come da ones dat gotta come wipe out jalike one sacrifice! If you guys no wipe out wateva kapu stuff you guys get, I no goin stay wit you guys no moa!

13 “Go! Tell da Israel peopo make one sacrifice fo dem come spesho fo me. Tell dem: Make spesho fo Da One In Charge. Get ready fo tomorra. Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo tell: You Israel peopo, da kapu stuff you guys get, you no goin win ova da guys dat stay agains you wen you get dat stuff. You gotta throw um out.

14 “In da morning, ery ohana, one by one, gotta come in front me, Da One In Charge. Da ohana I goin pick, gotta come from da diffren blood lines. From da blood line I goin pick, da ohanas gotta come one by one. Den da ohana I pick, all dem gotta come one by one. 15 Da guy I goin pick, he da one dat get da tings dat kapu fo erybody. Kill him an burn up da body, an burn all his stuffs. Cuz he broke da Deal I wen make, an he do someting stupid dat no make sense, agains da Israel peopo az why.”

16 Da nex morning, still early, Joshua make da Israel peopo come, ery big ohana firs, den anodda. Da One In Charge pick da Judah ohana. 17 Den da Judah peopo come, an from dem he pick da Zerah blood line. Den he tell da Zerah blood line peopo fo come, an from dem he pick da Zimri ohana. 18 Den Joshua tell da Zimri ohana fo come one guy afta anodda guy, an he pick Akan, Karmi boy. Karmi, Zimri boy, an Zimri, Zerah boy, all dem from da Judah ohana.

19 Den Joshua tell Akan, “My boy, show respeck fo Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo! Tell dat he good! Den tell me wat you wen do! No hide notting from me!”

20 Akan tell, “Wat you tell, az true! I wen do one bad ting agains Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo! Dis wat I wen do: 21 Wen us guys take all da stuff from Jericho, I see one nice looking Babylon robe, wit five poun silva an one gold bar dat weigh mo den one poun. I wen like um, so I take um. I hide um unda da groun inside my tent, an da silva unda da odda stuff.”

22 So Joshua sen messenja guys. Dey run to Akan tent. Da stuff he hide was dea, wit da silva undaneat. 23 Dey take da stuff from inside da tent. Dey bring um by Joshua an all da Israel peopo, an spread um out in front Da One In Charge.

24 Den Joshua an all da Israel peopo take Akan from da Zerah blood line, da robe, da silva, an da gold bar, to da Achor Valley (dat mean Trouble Valley). Dey take his boys an girls dea too, an da cow he use fo plow da groun, his donkey, his sheeps an goats, his tent, an all da odda stuff he own. 25 Wen dey reach da valley, Joshua tell Akan, “How come you bring dis trouble on top us? Da One In Charge goin bring trouble on top you today!”

Den all da Israel peopo throw big stones at Akan fo kill him an all his peopo, an dey burn up all da bodies. 26 Dey put one big stack rocks on top Akan body, an da rocks stay dea still yet. Den Da One In Charge no stay huhu no moa. Az why dey call dat place Achor Valley from dat time. (Dat mean, Trouble Valley.)

1 Den Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “No sked! No come all bum out! Take all da army guys wit you, an go afta da peopo inside Ai town, an make war agains dem. Cuz I goin give you guys da peopo ova dea, dea king, his town, an his land. 2 You guys goin make to da Ai peopo an dea king jalike you wen do to da Jericho peopo an dea king. But dis time, az okay fo you guys take all dea stuff an dea animals fo you guys. Go hide behind da town an get ready fo fight dem.”

3 So Joshua an all da army guys go out fo attack Ai town. He pick 30,000 a da bestes guys fo fight. He sen um out nite time. 4 He tell dem, “Lissen up! Go hide behind Ai town, an make ready fo attack um. No go far from Ai town. All you guys gotta watch out an get ready. 5 Me an da guys wit me goin go nea da town. Wen dey come out fo fight us, jalike dey wen do da firs time, we goin run away from dem. 6 Dey goin come out afta us guys, till we take dem away from da town. Cuz dey goin figga, ‘Eh, dose guys stay run away from us like befo time.’ 7 But you guys, wen we run away from dem, you goin stan up an come outa wea you stay hide. You goin take ova Ai town. Yoa God Da One In Charge goin give you guys da town. 8 Wen you guys take ova da town, make one big fire fo burn um down. Do eryting jalike Da One In Charge wen tell you guys fo do um. Dass my orda fo you guys.”

9 Den Joshua sen dem out, an da army guys go da place wea dey suppose to hide. Az in da middo, wit Bethel town one side an Ai town da odda side. But Joshua stay wit da odda army guys dat nite.

10 Early da nex morning, Joshua line up da army guys. Him an da leada guys fo Israel march in front da army guys, an go Ai. 11 All da army guys wit Joshua march up by Ai town. Dey make camp da north side a da town. Get one valley in da middo nea da town. 12 Da 5,000 army guys Joshua take, dey go hide inside da valley, inside da middo, da west side a Ai, wit Bethel da odda side. 13 So dey put da main army guys from da camp, da north side a Ai. Dey put da guys dat stay hide, da west side. Dat nite, Joshua go in da valley.

14 Wen da Ai king see dat, him an all da army guys from da town get up early an go out fas morning time fo fight da Israel guys, one place wea can see da Jordan valley. But he neva know dat get Israel guys stay hide behind da town. 15 Joshua an all da Israel guys run fas, jalike dey goin go da boonies, fo make da Ai guys figga dey stay win. 16 Da Ai guys yell to all dea guys from da town fo come chase da Israel guys. So dey all go chase Joshua guys, an go way from da town. 17 No mo guys stay back inside Ai an Bethel. Dey all go outa da town an chase da Israel guys. So da town stay open.

18 Den Da One In Charge tell Joshua, “Put out yoa hand an poin yoa spear to Ai! Cuz I goin give you guys Ai town.” So Joshua poin his spear to Ai. 19 Right den an dea wen Joshua poin his spear, da guys dat stay hide get up from wea dey stay an run quick. Dey go fas inside Ai town an take um ova. Dey burn down da town.

20 Da Ai guys look back an see da smoke from dea town go up inside da sky! But dey no can get outa dea, cuz da Israel guys dat run away, turn aroun fo fight da ones dat stay chase dem. 21 Joshua an da Israel guys see dat da odda guys dat wen hide, take ova da town, an da town stay burn. So da guys dat wen take ova da town, turn aroun fight da Ai guys too. 22 Da guys dat wen hide befo, come out from da town fo fight, so da Ai guys stay dea in da middo. Get Israel guys behind um an in front um! Az how da Israel guys wipe dem out. No mo no Ai guys stay alive. 23 But da Ai king stay alive, an dey catch him, an bring him by Joshua.

24 Da Israel guys kill all da Ai guys wit swords in da fields an in da boonies wea dey chase dem. Den da Israel guys go back Ai an kill erybody dat still yet stay inside dea. 25 Twelve tousan guys an wahines wen mahke dat day! Az all da peopo from Ai. 26 An Joshua neva put down his hand wit da spear, till dey kill all da peopo from Ai. 27 Den da Israel peopo take da animals an da stuffs from da town jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Joshua fo do.

28 Az how Joshua dem burn Ai an make um one small hill wit ony rocks an junk—one place wea nobody can live. 29 Dey kill da Ai king. Dey put one sharp pos thru his body an stick da pos in da groun. Stay dea till almos dark. Wen da sun go down, Joshua tell his guys fo take down da body an throw um by da gate fo da town. Den dey put big stack rocks on top um, an da rocks stay ova dea still yet.

Joshua Copy Da Rules One Mo Time

30 ✡Dat time Joshua make one altar fo Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, on top Mount Ebal. 31 ✡He do jalike Moses, Da One In Charge worka guy, wen tell da Israel peopo wat fo do. He make um jalike da Book dat get da Rules from Moses tell: one altar from rocks dat nobody cut an neva use iron tool fo make um. On top da altar dey make burn up kine sacrifices fo Da One In Charge, an sacrifices fo show dat Da One In Charge an da guy dat bring da sacrifice, stay good wit each odda. 32 Right dea in front all da Israel peopo, Joshua make one copy on top some stones. He write da Rules dat Moses wen write, on top da stones. 33 ✡All da Israel peopo come togedda—peopo from anodda place an peopo born from da Israel peopo, an dea older leadas, dea odda leadas, an dea judges. Dey stan da two sides a da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Da One In Charge Wen Make. Dey face da pries guys from da Levi ohana dat carry da Box. Get peopo from anodda place an peopo dat was born dea.

Da Gibeon Peopo Bulai Da Israel Peopo

1 All da kings dat stay da west side a da Jordan Riva hear dat da Israel peopo wen win ova da peopo dat stay agains dem. Az da kings dat live up country an by da Mediterranean Sea coast, all da way to Lebanon: da kings fo da Het peopo, da Amor peopo, da Canaan peopo, da Periz peopo, da Hiv peopo, an da Jebus peopo. 2 So dey all come togedda an tell one ting: “Gotta go make war agains Joshua an da Israel peopo.”

3 But wen da Gibeon peopo hear wat Joshua wen do to Jericho an Ai, 4 dey figga mo betta bulai da Israel peopo. Dey go fo talk to Joshua wit donkeys fo carry dea food. But dey load da donkeys wit poho kine burmbag sacks, an ol ledda bags fo wine wit cracks dey wen patch up. 5 Da guys get wore out slippas dey wen fix, an boros clotheses. All dea bread dey get fo eat, stay dry an broke up in small kine pieces. 6 Dey go by Joshua inside da camp Gilgal side. Dey tell him an da Israel guys, “Us guys come from one far place. Make one deal wit us.”

7 ✡Da Israel guys tell da Hiv guys from Gibeon, “Maybe you guys live nea us. If dass how, no way us guys goin make one deal wit you guys!” 8 Dey tell Joshua, “Us, yoa worka guys.” But Joshua tell dem “Who you guys? Wea you come from?”

9 Dey tell, “Us yoa worka guys, an us come from one real far place, cuz we wen hear bout you guys dat God Da One In Charge. We hear bout all he wen do inside Egypt, 10 ✡an all he do to da two kings fo da Amor peopo, da east side a da Jordan Riva—Sihon da king fo Heshbon an Og da king fo Bashan dat live Ashtarot side. 11 So oua older leadas an all da peopo inside oua country tell us, ‘Take stuffs fo yoa trip, an go meet dem. Tell dem, “We yoa worka guys. Try make one deal wit us guys.” 12 Dis bread we get was warm wen we make um ready fo come by you guys. But now, look! Stay all dry up an all broke up. 13 Dese wineskins was new wen we fill dem up, but now, look! Get cracks. Oua clotheses an slippas get pukas from da long trip.’ ”

14 So da Israel guys eat litto bit a dea food. But dey no aks Da One In Charge fo tell um wat fo do. 15 Den Joshua make one deal wit dem fo come dea frenz an let um stay alive, an da leada guys make one strong promise fo keep da deal, fo erybody know dat dey goin do um.

16 Three day afta dey make da deal wit da Gibeon guys, da Israel peopo hear dat da Gibeon peopo live nea dem. 17 So da Israel guys go dea. Day numba three, dey come by da Hiv towns: Gibeon, Kefirah, Beerot, an Kiriat-Jearim. 18 Da Israel guys no attack dem, cuz da leada guys fo dea peopo wen make one strong promise to dem in front Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo.

But all da Israel peopo come togedda an grumble bout dea leadas, cuz dey wen make one deal wit dose peopo. 19 But all da leadas tell, “Us guys wen make one strong promise to dem in front Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, fo us no hurt dem now. 20 Dis wat we goin do to dem: We goin let dem stay alive, so God no come real huhu an punish us fo go agains da strong promise we wen make to dem.” 21 Da leada guys tell, “Let dem stay alive. But let dem cut wood an carry watta fo all us Israel peopo.” So az how da leadas keep dea promise to da Gibeon peopo.

22 Den Joshua tell da Gibeon guys fo come by him. He tell dem, “How come you guys bulai us an tell us, ‘We live far from you guys’ wen you live nea us? 23 Now you guys get kahuna put on top you. From now, we ony goin let you guys cut wood an carry watta fo da house fo my God.”

24 Da Gibeon guys tell Joshua, “Us, yoa worka guys. Somebody wen tell us, dat yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen tell his worka guy Moses, fo give you guys all da land an fo wipe out all us peopo dat live ova hea. Az why we come sked us goin mahke cuz a you guys. Az how come us wen make lidat. 25 Now, you guys get powa ova us guys. So go make to us wat you figga stay good an right.”

26 An dass wat Joshua do. He let da Gibeon guys stay alive, an no let da Israel guys kill dem. 27 From dat time, he make da Gibeon peopo cut wood an carry watta fo da Israel peopo, an fo da altar fo make sacrifice fo Da One In Charge, at da place Da One In Charge pick. An dass wat dey do still yet till now.

An da moon no move,

Till da Israel guys pay back da guys dat stay agains dem.

Jalike da Jashar book tell. Da sun stop in da middo a da sky, an no go down almos one whole day. 14 Befo dat neva get one day jalike dat one, an from dat time, neva get anodda day jalike dat day one mo time. Cuz dat time, Da One In Charge wen lissen one guy. Fo shua Da One In Charge stay fight fo da Israel peopo!

16 Dat time, da five Amor king guys wen run away hide inside da cave Makkedah side. 17 Somebody tell Joshua dat dey wen find da five kings stay hide inside da cave Makkedah side. 18 So Joshua tell, “Roll one big stone by da front a da cave, an pick some guys fo watch um ova dea. 19 But da res a you guys, no stop! Go chase da guys dat stay agains you guys! Fight dem from da back! No let um go back dea towns. Cuz yoa God, Da One In Charge, give dem to you guys awready!”

Az all da Canaan land (dass wea da five Filisha kings stay, inside Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gat, Ekron, an da Avva peopo land). 4 From da south side, all da Canaan land, from Arah wea da Sidon peopo stay all da way to Afek, da edge a da land wea da Amor peopo stay. 5 Da land wea da Gebal peopo stay, an all Lebanon to da east from Baal-Gad unda Mount Hermon to Lebo-Hamat.

Make shua fo give dis land to da Israel peopo fo come dea property, jalike I wen tell you fo do. 7 Give um to da nine ohanas an half da Manasseh ohana fo come dea property.”

How Dey Split Up Da Land
Da East Side Da Jordan Riva

8 ✡Da odda half a da Manasseh ohana, da Reuben ohana, an da Gad ohana awready get da land dat Moses wen give dem da east side a da Jordan Riva fo come dea property.

9 Dat go from Aroer on da edge a da Arnon Canyon, an da town inside da middo a da canyon, an all da Medeba flat place all da way to Dibon 10 an all da towns fo Sihon, da king inside Heshbon fo da Amor peopo, an to da edge a da Ammon peopo land, 11 an Gilead, da land a da Geshur peopo, an Maakah, all Mount Hermon, an all Bashan to Salekah. 12 Az da whole land wea Og wen stay king inside Bashan. He da king inside Ashtarot an Edrei, an was one a da las Rafa peopo. Moses wen win ova dem an take ova dea land. 13 But da Israel peopo neva push out da Geshur peopo o da Maakah peopo, az why dey still yet live dea wit da Israel peopo today.

14 ✡But Moses no give da Levi ohana property notting. Cuz da Israel peopo bring sacrifices fo make um wit fire fo Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, an da food from dat sacrifice go to da Levi ohana. Az dea property, jalike he wen make one promise to dem.

15 Dis wat Moses give ery small ohana inside da Reuben ohana: 16 Dey get da land from Aroer on da edge a da Arnon Canyon, an from da town inside da middo a da canyon, an da flat place aroun Medeba, 17 to Heshbon an all da towns on top da flat place: az Dibon, Bamot-Baal, Bet-Baal-Meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemot, Mefaat, 19 Kiriataim, Sibmah, Zeret-Shahar on da hill inside da valley, 20 Bet-Peor, da sides a Mount Pisgah, an Bet-Jeshimot, 21 all da towns on top da flat place, an ery place wea Sihon was king fo da Amor peopo inside Heshbon. Moses win ova him an da Midian leadas: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, an Reba. Dey all was frenz wit Sihon, dat live ova dea. 22 (Da Israel guys wen kill Balaam wit swords too. Him Beor boy, da one dat know one ceremony fo find out wass goin happen bumbye.) 23 Da west side a da Reuben ohana land was one side a da Jordan Riva. Da small Reuben ohanas get all dis property from Da One In Charge.

24 Dis wat Moses give da small ohanas in da Gad ohana, north from da Reuben land: 25 da land fo da Jazer peopo, all da towns inside Gilead, an half da Ammon land up to Aroer nea Rabbah, 26 an from Heshbon to Raamat-Mizpah an Betonim, an from Mahanaim to da Debir land, 27 an inside da valley, Bet-Haram, Bet-Nimrah, Sukkot, an Zafon, an da odda land dey take away from Sihon, da king inside Heshbon, da east side a da Jordan Riva, da land up to da Kinneret Lake (az Galilee Lake). 28 Fo da Gad ohana, ery small ohana get dese towns an da mo small towns aroun dea fo come dea property.

29 Dis wat Moses give half da Manasseh ohana, ery small Manasseh ohana: 30 Da land from Mahanaim an all Bashan, all da place wea Og wen stay king fo Bashan, all da camps Jair wen set up, sixty towns inside Bashan, 31 half da Gilead land, an Ashtarot an Edrei, wea Og da Bashan king wen live befo time. Dis odda half go da Makir ohana, az Manasseh boy land.

32 Dis wat Moses wen give dem wen he stay inside da flat place Moab side, da east side a da Jordan Riva, nea Jericho. 33 ✡But Moses neva give land to da Levi ohana fo come dea property. Az cuz Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, dey get him fo dea property, jalike he wen make one promise to dem.

14

Da Land Da West Side Da Jordan Riva

1 Dis da land da Israel peopo get fo come dea property Canaan side. Eleazar da pries guy, Joshua, Nun boy, an da leadas fo da Israel ohanas wen tell dem who get wat fo come dea property. 2 ✡Da nine an one half ohanas gotta pull straw fo tell wat ohanas get wat land, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo do. 3 ✡Moses awready give da two an one half ohanas dea property da east side a da Jordan Riva, but he no give da Levi ohana property wit da odda ohanas. 4 Cuz Joseph boys wen come two ohanas: Manasseh an Efraim. Da Levi ohana no get land fo come dea property, but dey get towns fo dem live dea, an fields wea dea sheeps, goats, an cows can eat grass. 5 So da Israel peopo split up da land jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo do.

Caleb Get Da Hebron Land

6 ✡Da Judah ohana guys go by Joshua Gilgal side. Caleb, Jefunneh boy from da Keniz blood line, tell Joshua, “Fo shua you rememba wat wen happen Kadesh-Barnea side—wat Da One In Charge wen tell Moses bout me an you. Moses da guy dat stay tight wit God an work fo God. 7 ✡Me, I was forty year ol wen Moses wen sen me from Kadesh-Barnea fo scope out da land. An afta I go an come back by him, I tell um wat I tink fo real kine. 8 You know, my braddahs dat wen go wit me make da peopo come real sked. But me, I wen go all out fo stay tight wit my God, Da One In Charge. 9 ✡So dat day, Moses wen make one strong promise to me, fo erybody know dat he goin do um. He tell me, ‘You goin get da land wea you wen walk on top um fo come yoa property—you, an yoa ohana foeva. Cuz you go all out fo stay tight wit my God, Da One In Charge.’

10 “Now, jalike Da One In Charge wen promise he goin do, I still yet stay alive afta forty-five year, from da time Da One In Charge tell Moses dat, an afta all da time da Israel peopo move aroun inside da boonies. So I still stay hea today, eighty-five year ol! 11 I still yet stay strong, jalike wen Moses wen sen me ova dea. I still stay ready fo go out fight jalike dat time. 12 So now, give me dis hill country dat Da One In Charge wen make one promise fo give me dat time. You wen hear dat time dat da Anak peopo stay ova dea, an dey get big towns dat get strong wall. But maybe Da One In Charge goin help me, an I goin push out da peopo, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell.”

13 Den Joshua tell God fo do good tings fo Caleb, Jefunneh boy, an he give Caleb Hebron town fo come his property. 14 So Caleb, Jefunneh boy from da Keniz blood line, get Hebron fo his property till now, cuz he go all out fo stay tight wit Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo. 15 Befo time dey wen call Hebron, “Kiriat-Arba,” afta da man Arba cuz he da mos importan Anak guy.

Den da land stay quiet, an neva get war.

Da East Side Ohanas Go Back Dea Place

1 Den Joshua tell da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana fo come by him. 2 ✡He tell um, “You guys wen do eryting dat Moses, Da One In Charge worka guy, wen tell you fo do. An you guys wen do eryting dat I wen tell you fo do too. 3 Fo one long time, an till today, you guys neva bag from yoa braddahs!

Now, you guys can go back yoa place inside da land dat Moses wen give you, da odda side a da Jordan Riva. 5 But watch out! Do eryting dat Moses, Da One In Charge worka guy, wen tell you fo do. Stick wit da rules! Get love an aloha fo yoa God, Da One In Charge, live da way he like you fo live, lissen wat he tell you guys fo do, stay tight wit him, an go all out fo work fo him.”

6 Den Joshua tell Da One In Charge fo do good tings fo dem, an he tell um okay fo dem go. Den dey go home. 7 (Fo half a da Manasseh ohana, Moses give um land inside Bashan awready. Fo da odda half a da Manasseh ohana, Joshua give land da west side a da Jordan Riva wit dea braddahs.) Wen Joshua sen um back dea place, he aks Da One In Charge fo do good tings fo dem. 8 Joshua tell da peopo, “Go back yoa houses wit all yoa rich stuffs: plenny animals, silva, gold, bronze, iron, an plenny clotheses. Share wit yoa braddahs all da stuffs you guys wen take from da peopo dat stay agains you guys.”

9 So da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana go way from da odda Israel peopo Shiloh side inside Canaan. Dey go back Gilead side, dea land, dat dey wen get befo time, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo do.

10 Wen dey come Gelilot nea da Jordan Riva inside Canaan, da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana wen build one big altar dat erybody can see, ova dea nea da Jordan Riva. 11 But da odda Israel peopo hear dat dey wen build one big altar on da edge a da Canaan land by Gelilot nea da Jordan Riva on da Israel side. 12 Wen da odda Israel peopo hear dat, dey come togedda Shiloh side fo make ready fo go make war agains dem.

13 But firs, da Israel peopo sen Finehas, Eleazar da pries boy, Gilead side by da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana. 14 An dey sen ten a da leada guys wit Finehas, one guy fo ery Israel ohana. All dem was da main leada guy fo his ohana.

15 Wen Finehas guys come Gilead side, to da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana, dey tell dem: 16 ✡“All da peopo a Da One In Charge, stay come togedda. Dey tell, ‘How come you guys broke yoa promise to da God fo da Israel peopo lidis?! How come you guys tell “Laytas” to Da One In Charge, an make one altar fo you go agains him awready?! 17 ✡Befo time, wen oua peopo do one real bad ting Peor side, you guys tink az not enuff blame fo us guys, o wat?! Still yet today us guys neva make us clean from dat real bad kine ting! We still suffa from dat, no matta plenny peopo from da peopo a Da One In Charge, wen come sick dat time wit one real bad kine sick. 18 So! You guys still yet goin tell “Laytas” to Da One In Charge, o wat?!

“ ‘If you guys go agains Da One In Charge today, fo shua tomorra he goin come huhu wit all us Israel peopo togedda! 19 If da property you guys get ova dea stay pilau, mo betta you guys come ova oua side! Az Da One In Charge land, wea da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit Da One In Charge stay! Mo betta you come live inside dat land an get property by us guys. But no go agains Da One In Charge o agains us guys, an make one altar fo ony you guys. Stick wit da real altar fo oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us! 20 ✡An da time Akan Zerah boy go agains Da One In Charge an steal da tings dat kapu fo erybody, dat time God come huhu wit all da Israel peopo. Akan, he not da ony guy dat wen mahke cuz a da real bad ting he wen do. Odda guys mahke too.’ ”

21 Den da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana tell da leadas fo da Israel peopo,

22 “Da One In Charge,

He da God wit all da powa!

Da One In Charge,

He da God wit all da powa!

He know wat us guys do!

An az good dat all da Israel peopo know too!

“If us guys stay do dis ting agains Da One In Charge, an no lissen him, den no let us guys stay alive. 23 If us guys make one altar fo us tell ‘Laytas’ to Da One In Charge, an make burn up kine sacrifices on top um, an wheat an barley sacrifices, o make one sacrifice dat tell dat Da One In Charge an us stay tight, we like Da One In Charge be da One fo poin finga us guys.

24 “But us make dis altar cuz we sked dat bumbye you guys kids goin tell oua kids, ‘How come you guys tink you get da right fo pray to Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, aah? 25 Da One In Charge wen make da Jordan Riva jalike one wall wit us on dis side an you Reuben an Gad guys on da odda side. You guys no mo da right fo go down in front Da One In Charge.’ So den yoa kids goin make oua kids pau stay sked a Da One In Charge an no goin respeck um.

26 “Az how come us guys wen tell, ‘Us goin get ready fo build one altar—but no goin be fo make burn up kine sacrifices o regula sacrifices. 27 But dis altar goin be one ting dat make you guys an us guys no foget dis: us guys get da right fo go down in front Da One In Charge fo show love an respeck fo him, ova dea by his Tent. An same ting fo oua kids bumbye, us guys goin go ova yoa side fo make burn up kine sacrifices an regula sacrifices an sacrifices dat tell dat Da One In Charge an us stay good.’ Den bumbye yoa kids no goin tell oua kids, ‘You guys no mo da right fo go down in front Da One In Charge ova hea.’

28 “An us Reuben an Gad guys tell, ‘If dey talk lidat to us guys, o to oua kids, we goin tell dem, “Look da altar ova hea dat oua ancesta guys wen copy! Az jalike da altar in front da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge. Dey make um, but not fo make burn up kine sacrifices an regula sacrifices ova hea! Dey make um fo us guys an you guys all no go foget dat we goin go Da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge fo make burn up kine sacrifices an regula sacrifices ova dea!” ’ 29 Us guys no go agains Da One In Charge! Us no goin tell ‘Laytas’ to him today, an make one altar fo burn up kine sacrifices, wheat an barley sacrifices, an regula sacrifices! We goin use ony da altar dat stay in front da Tent fo oua God, Da One In Charge.”

30 Wen Finehas da pries guy an da leadas fo da Israel peopo, da main guys fo da main ohanas, hear wat da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana tell, dey stay good inside. 31 So Finehas, Eleazar da pries boy, tell da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an da Manasseh ohana, “Today us guys know dat Da One In Charge stay tight wit all us Israel guys, cuz you guys no go agains him wen you wen build da altar. Now us guys know dat Da One In Charge no goin punish all us Israel peopo cuz a wat you guys wen do!”

32 Den Finehas, Eleazar da pries boy, an da leada guys go back Canaan side, afta dey pau talk to da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana Gilead side. Dey tell da odda Israel peopo wat wen happen. 33 Da peopo stay good inside wen dey hear dat, an tell good tings bout God. An dey no talk no mo bout make war agains dea braddahs, fo wipe out da land wea da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana live.

34 Da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana give dea altar dis name: “Fo make all us guys no foget dat Da One In Charge, he God.”

He tell: “Long time befo time yoa ancesta guys, Terah an his boys Abraham an Nahor, dey wen live da odda side a da Eufrates Riva, an dey go down in front odda gods. 3 ✡But I wen take yoa ancesta guy Abraham from da land da odda side a da Eufrates Riva, an lead him all ova da Canaan land. I give him plenny kids an grankids. I give him Isaac, 4 ✡an to Isaac I give Jacob an Esau. I give da Seir Range to Esau, but Jacob an his boys go down Egypt side.

5 ✡“Laytas, I wen sen Moses an Aaron to da Israel peopo, an I give da Egypt peopo hard time ova dea, an I bring you guys outa Egypt. 6 ✡Wen I bring yoa ancesta guys outa Egypt, da Egypt guys chase um wit war wagons an horse rida guys all da way to da Red Sea. 7 But dey yell to me, Da One In Charge, fo help dem, an I put one real dark cloud in da middo, wit da Egypt guys one side, an you Israel guys da odda side. Den I make da sea drown da Egypt guys. You guys wen see wat I do to dem. Den you guys live inside da boonies long time.

8 ✡“I bring you guys to da Amor peopo land, dat stay da odda side, da east side a da Jordan Riva. Dey fight you guys, but I give dem to you. I wipe dem out in front you, an you guys take ova dea land. 9 ✡Wen Balak, Zippor boy, da king fo da Moab peopo, make ready fo fight you Israel peopo, he sen fo Balaam, Beor boy, fo put kahuna on top you guys. 10 But I no like lissen Balaam. So he tell me fo do good tings fo you guys ova an ova, an I get you guys outa trouble, so Balak no mo powa ova you guys.

11 ✡“Den you guys go da odda side a da Jordan Riva, an go Jericho town. Da peopo inside Jericho fight you guys, an same ting da Amor peopo, da Periz peopo, da Canaan peopo, da Het peopo, da Girgash peopo, da Hiv peopo, an da Jebus peopo fight you.

You guys no push da Amor peopo out wit yoa swords an bow an arrow, but was da yellowjacket bees. 13 ✡So I give you guys one land wea you guys neva work um, an big towns dat you guys neva build. An you guys live inside um, an eat da grapes an da olives from plants an trees you guys neva plant.”

14 Den Joshua tell, “An now stay sked a Da One In Charge, an work fo him, an stay tight wit him. Throw out da gods yoa ancesta guys wen pray to da odda side a da Eufrates Riva an Egypt side, an work fo Da One In Charge. 15 But if you guys no like work fo Da One In Charge, den today pick wat gods you goin work fo! Goin be da gods yoa ancesta guys wen work fo da odda side a da Eufrates Riva, o da gods fo da Amor peopo wea you live now, o wat?! But me an my ohana, us guys goin work fo Da One In Charge!”

16 Den da peopo tell, “Us guys no goin bag from Da One In Charge an work fo odda gods! 17 Oua God Da One In Charge, he da One wen bring us guys an oua ancesta guys outa Egypt wea us was slaves. He do awesome stuff in front us. He take kea us wea eva us guys go. He take kea us guys wit all da peopos we wen pass thru dea land. 18 Den Da One In Charge wen push out all da peopos in front us, even da Amor peopo dat wen live dis land. We goin work fo Da One In Charge too, cuz he oua God.”

19 Den Joshua tell da peopo, “You guys no can work fo Da One In Charge! He stay good an spesho, an he God. He one jealous God. He no goin hemo yoa shame an let you guys go, cuz you go agains him an do bad kine stuff! 20 If you guys bag from Da One In Charge afta he do all kine good stuff fo you guys, an if you guys go work fo odda gods, den he goin turn aroun an bring all kine bad stuff on top you guys, an wipe you guys out!”

21 But da peopo tell Joshua, “No! Us goin work fo Da One In Charge!”

22 Den Joshua tell, “You guys betta not foget wat you tell me now, dat you guys wen pick Da One In Charge fo work fo him.”

Dey tell, “Yeah, us no goin foget!”

23 Joshua tell: “Kay den. Throw out da idol kine gods from odda peopos dat you guys get! Go all out fo Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo!”

24 Da peopo tell Joshua, “Us goin work fo oua God, Da One In Charge, an lissen him!”

25 Right den an dea, Joshua make one deal wit God fo da peopo. An ova dea Shekem side, he make rules an tell wat dey gotta do. 26 Joshua write all dat inside da Book Fo Da Rules From God. Den he put up one big stone unda one oak tree, nea da place dat stay spesho fo Da One In Charge.

27 He tell da peopo, “Look! Dis stone, fo help us guys no foget. Jalike da stone hear eryting Da One In Charge tell us. Jalike da stone goin grumble bout you guys if you no do wat you tell you goin do fo yoa God.”

Dey Bury Joshua Inside Da Land Dat God Promise Fo Give Dem

Da Israel Peopo Fight
Da Canaan Peopo Dat Still Stay

1 Dis wat happen afta Joshua mahke: Da Israel peopo aks Da One In Charge, “Who goin be da firs ohana fo go fight fo us guys agains da Canaan peopo?”

2 Da One In Charge tell, “Da Judah ohana goin go. I goin turn da land ova to dem.”

3 Da Judah ohana guys tell dea braddahs, da Simeon ohana guys, “Go wit us inside da land Da One In Charge wen give us guys, da time all us guys wen pull straw fo show wat land we get. We goin fight da Canaan peopo dat still stay ova dea. Den we goin go wit you guys to da land God wen give you guys, pull straw time.” An da Simeon guys go wit dem.

4 Wen da Judah guys attack da Canaan guys, Da One In Charge make dem win ova da Canaan peopo an da Periz peopo. So dey kill 10,000 guys Bezek side. 5 Dey find King Adoni-Bezek, an fight him. Az wen dey wack da Canaan peopo an da Periz peopo. 6 Adoni-Bezek run away. But dey chase an catch um. Dey cut off his thumbs an big toes.

7 Den Adoni-Bezek tell dem, “Get seventy king guys, I wen win ova dem. I wen cut off dea thumbs an big toes. I make um pick up da crumbs from unda my table. Wat I wen do to dem guys, God pay me back same ting!” Da Judah guys take him Jerusalem side, an he mahke ova dea.

8 Da Judah guys go attack Jerusalem too, an take ova. Dey kill da peopo ova dea wit swords, an burn down da town.

9 Afta dat, da Judah guys go down fo fight da Canaan peopo dat live inside da hill land, da Negev boonies, an da small hills by da west side. 10 Den dey go agains da Canaan peopo dat live Hebron town. (Az da place peopo wen call Kiriat-Arba befo time.) Dey wack Sheshai, Ahiman, an Talmai.

11 From dea dey go agains da peopo dat live Debir town (da place get da name Kiriat-Sefer befo time). 12 Wat happen dea, Caleb tell, “I goin give my girl Aksah fo marry da guy dat attack Kiriat-Sefer an take ova.” 13 Otniel, Kenaz boy, him da one take um ova. (Kenaz, he Caleb younga braddah.) So Caleb give his girl Aksah, fo marry Otniel.

14 One time afta Aksah marry Otniel, she talk nice to him, fo go aks her faddah give dem one field fo dea property. Den wen she go by Caleb an get off her donkey, Caleb aks her, “Wat you like me do fo you?”

15 She tell um, “I like you do someting spesho fo me. You wen give me land inside da Negev boonies. So I like you give me some watta pukas too.” Den Caleb give her some watta pukas mauka side, an makai side too.

16 Da kids from Moses faddah-in-law, da Ken peopo, dey go from Jericho, da Date Palm Town, wit da Judah guys, fo live wit da Judah peopo inside da Judah boonies, inside da Negev aroun Arad.

17 Den da Judah guys go wit da Simeon guys, dea braddahs, an go afta da Canaan peopo inside Zefat. Dey wipe out all dat town. Az why dey call um Hormah now. 18 Da Judah guys win ova Gaza, Ashkelon, an Ekron, dose towns an da land aroun um.

19 Da One In Charge stay wit da Judah guys. Dey take ova da hill country, but dey no can push out da peopo dat live inside da valleys, cuz dem guys get iron war wagons. 20 ✡Jalike Moses wen promise, da Judah guys give Hebron town to Caleb. He take da town away from three guys dat come from Anak. 21 ✡But da Benjamin ohana no can win ova da Jebus peopo dat stay live inside Jerusalem. Still yet today da Jebus peopo live ova dea wit da Benjamin ohana.

22 Dis, da Joseph ohana story. Dey go attack Bethel, an Da One In Charge stay wit dem. 23 Firs ting, dey wen sen guys fo find out bout da peopo dat live inside Bethel (peopo wen call da town Luz befo time). 24 Da Israel guys spock one guy dat stay come outa Bethel town. Dey tell him, “You show us guys how we can go inside da town, an we goin make shua dat oua guys make nice to you.” 25 He show um how fo go inside da town. Den da Israel guys go kill erybody inside dea wit swords. But dey no kill dat guy o anybody from his ohana. 26 Den da guy go da Het land. He build one town ova dea, an call um Luz. Still yet get dat name today.

27 ✡But da Manasseh ohana neva push out da peopo inside Bet-Shan, o Taanak, o Dor, o Ibleam, o Megiddo, an da towns aroun um. Az cuz da Canaan peopo ova dea make up dea mind dey goin stay ova dea. 28 Bumbye wen da Israel peopo come mo strong, dey make da Canaan peopo ova dea work fo dem, but da Israel peopo neva push all dem out. 29 ✡Same ting, Da Efraim ohana guys neva push out da Canaan peopo dat live inside Gezer, but da Canaan peopo stay live dea wit da Efraim peopo.

30 Da Zebulun ohana peopo neva push out da Canaan peopo dat stay inside Kitron an Nahalol, dat stay live wit dem, but da Zebulun peopo make da Canaan peopo ova dea work fo dem too. 31 Da Asher ohana peopo neva push out da Canaan peopo dat stay inside Akko, o Sidon, o Aklab, o Akzib, o Helbah, o Afek, o Rehob. 32 An cuz a dat, da Asher ohana peopo stay live wit da Canaan peopo inside da land. 33 Da Naftali ohana peopo neva push out da peopo dat live inside Bet-Shemesh, o Bet-Anat. Da Naftali ohana peopo still stay live wit da Canaan peopo inside da land. An da Naftali peopo make da peopo inside Bet-Shemesh an Bet-Anat work fo dem.

34 Da Amor peopo, dey make da Dan ohana peopo stay up country, an no let dem come down inside da valleys. 35 An da Amor peopo make up dea mind fo stay live on top Mount Heres, Aijalon, an Shaalbim. But wen da Joseph ohana come mo strong, dey make da Amor peopo ova dea work fo dem. 36 Da Amor peopo land go from Scorpion Pass an from Sela, an mauka.

10 Afta all da peopo dat stay alive dat time mahke, dea kids grow up. But dey donno Da One In Charge, an donno wat he wen do fo da Israel peopo. 11 Den da Israel peopo do bad kine stuff da way Da One In Charge see um, an dey work fo da Baal gods. 12 Dey bag from Da One In Charge, da God fo dea ancesta guys dat wen bring dem outa Egypt. Dey stay tight wit odda gods an go down in front um, da gods fo da peopos dat live aroun dem.

12 Wen somebody tell Sisera dat Barak, Abinoam boy, wen go up to Mount Tabor, 13 Sisera tell his nine hundred iron war wagons fo come, an all da guys wit him from Haroshet-Haggoyim, fo go da Kishon Gulch.

Gideon

1 One mo time da Israel peopo do bad kine stuff da way Da One In Charge see um. So he make da Midian peopo take ova dem fo seven year. 2 Da Midian peopo make real strong presha agains da Israel peopo. Az why da Israel peopo make places fo hide inside cliffs an caves, an odda strong places inside da mountains. 3 Weneva da Israel peopo plant food, da Midian peopo, da Amalek peopo, an odda peopos from da east side attack da Israel land. 4 Dey make camp nea da Israel peopo, an jam up eryting dat grow dea. Dass how dey do, all da way to Gaza. Dey no leave notting alive fo da Israel guys—sheeps, cows, an donkeys. 5 Dey come wit dea animals an tents ova dea, jalike wen get real plenny locust kine grasshoppas. No can count da Midian guys an dea camels. Dey attack da land fo wase um. 6 Da Midian guys rip off eryting, an no leave notting ova dea. Az why da Israel peopo yell fo help to Da One In Charge.

7 Wen da Israel peopo call Da One In Charge fo help dem cuz a wat da Midian peopo do, 8 Da One In Charge sen dem one guy fo talk fo him. Da guy tell, “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell, da God fo da Israel peopo: I wen bring you guys outa Egypt, wea you guys was slaves. 9 I free you guys up an get you outa da Egypt guys powa, an from all da guys dat put strong presha on you guys. I push dem out an give you guys dea land. 10 I tell you guys, ‘I yoa God, Da One In Charge. No go down in front da gods fo da Amor peopo, no matta you guys live inside dea land.’ But you guys neva lissen me.”

11 One time, one angel messenja guy from Da One In Charge come sit down unda da oak tree Ofrah side. Da tree was Joash property. He come from Abiezer. Gideon, Joash boy, stay take da junks outa da wheat. He stay do um inside one place wea dey press da juice from da grapes, so da Midian guys no can see um an rip um off. 12 Wen da angel messenja guy from Da One In Charge show up by Gideon, da angel tell, “Da One In Charge stay wit you. You one strong fighta guy.”

13 Gideon tell, “But mista, if Da One In Charge stay wit us guys, how come all dis bad kine stuff stay happen to us? Us no can see all da awesome kine stuff he do, dat oua ancesta guys wen tell us bout. Dey tell, ‘Da One In Charge wen bring us guys outa Egypt.’ But now Da One In Charge wen bag from us, an let da Midian guys win ova us guys!”

14 Da One In Charge turn an look at him. He tell Gideon, “Go! Use da powa you get, an take da Israel peopo out from da Midian peopo powa. Az me I sen you.”

15 Gideon tell, “But Boss, how I goin get da Israel peopo outa trouble? My blood line not strong. Dey da mos weak blood line inside da Manasseh ohana. An I da younges guy inside my faddah family.”

16 Da One In Charge tell him, “I goin stay wit you. You goin bus up all da Midian guys same time.”

17 Gideon tell, “Kay den. If you feel good bout me, show me someting fo me know dat you da One dat stay talk to me. 18 Try no go way, till I come back an bring da sacrifice I goin put in front you.”

So Da One In Charge tell, “I goin wait till you come back.”

19 So Gideon go inside an make ready one young goat. From six gallon flour he make bread dat no mo yeast. He put da meat inside one basket, an da soup from da meat inside one pot, he bring um out, an put um by Da One In Charge unda da oak tree.

20 Da angel messenja guy from God tell him, “Take da meat an da bread dat no mo yeast, an put um on top dis rock. An pour da soup on top um.” So Gideon make lidat. 21 Da angel from Da One In Charge poin da end a da stick fo walk he get inside his hand, an touch da meat an da bread dat no mo yeast. Fire come outa da rock, an burn da meat an da bread. Den da angel from Da One In Charge disappea. 22 Wen Gideon know az was one angel guy from Da One In Charge, he tell, “Bummahs! You da One In Charge a me, an in charge a eryting. Fo shua, I wen see one angel from Da One In Charge, an dat angel talk strait to me! Dat mean, I goin mahke!”

23 But Da One In Charge tell him, “Cool head! No sked! You no goin mahke!”

24 So Gideon build one altar fo Da One In Charge ova dea. He call um, “Da One In Charge Give Res.” Stay inside Ofrah town wea da Abiezer ohana live, still yet today.

25 Dat same nite Da One In Charge tell him, “Take da numba two bull from yoa faddah cows, da one dass seven year ol. Bus up da altar yoa faddah wen build fo da Baal god, an cut down da tiki pos fo da wahine god Asherah, dat stay by da side. 26 Den build da right kine altar fo yoa God, Da One In Charge, on top dis place dat get one strong wall. Den kill da bull fo make one burn up kine sacrifice. Lay out da wood from da Asherah pos you cut down, fo burn up da sacrifice.”

27 So Gideon take ten a his worka guys, an do wat Da One In Charge tell him fo do. But cuz he stay sked a his family, an da guys inside da town, he do um nite time, an not day time.

28 Morning time, da guys inside da town see dat da altar fo Baal stay bus up. Da Asherah tiki pos beside um stay cut down, an da numba two bull come one burn up kine sacrifice on top one altar somebody jus wen build!

29 Den dey aks each odda, “Who wen do dis?”

Dey try fo find out, an aks erybody. Somebody tell um, “Was Gideon, Joash boy! He wen do um!”

30 Den da guys from da town tell Joash, “Bring out yoa boy. He gotta mahke, cuz he wen bus up da altar fo Baal, an cut down da Asherah tiki pos by da side.”

31 But Joash tell all da guys dat stan agains him, “Wot! You guys figga you gotta make jalike lawya guys fo help Baal, o wat?! You trying fo get him outa trouble?! Anybody fight fo Baal lidat, dey gotta mahke befo morning time! If Baal stay one god fo real kine, he can fight if somebody go bus up his altar.” 32 So from dat day da peopo call Gideon “Jerub-Baal,” cuz dey tell, “Let Baal fight him,” cuz Gideon broke down da altar fo Baal.

33 Dat time, all da Midian peopo, da Amalek peopo, an da odda peopos from da east side go togedda, an cross da Jordan Riva. Dey make camp inside da Jezreel Valley. 34 Den da Spirit from Da One In Charge take ova Gideon. He blow one sheep horn trumpet, fo call da Abiezer ohana guys fo go wit him. 35 Den he sen messenja guys all ova da Manasseh ohana land, an da Asher, Zebulun, an Naftali ohana lands, fo call dea guys fo fight too. So dose guys go fo meet Gideon an his guys.

36 Gideon tell God, “If you goin use my powa fo get da Israel peopo outa trouble, jalike you wen promise fo do— 37 look. I goin put one sheep skin dat still get wool on top da groun, da place wea dey take da junks outa da wheat. If get dew ony on top da wool, an all da groun stay dry, den I goin know dat you goin use my powa fo get da Israel peopo outa trouble, da way you wen tell.” 38 So az wat happen. Gideon get up early da nex day. He squeeze da skin fo get out da dew, an get one bowl full a watta from um.

39 Den Gideon tell God, “Try no come huhu wit me. I goin aks fo one mo tes wit da skin. Dis time, make ony da wool stay dry an da groun get dew all ova um!” 40 An dat nite God make um happen lidat. Ony da wool stay dry. An all da groun get dew all ova um.

If I make dem win ova da Midian guys, da Israel guys goin talk big, but not bout me. Dey goin tink dey da awesome guys, cuz dey da ones wen bus up da Midian guys wit da powa dey get, an dey da ones do stuff dat get dem outa trouble. 3 ✡So tell da army guys, ‘Anybody stay sked an shaking, okay fo dem go back, an go way from Mount Gilead.’ ” Az why 22,000 guys go back, an 10,000 guys stay.

4 But Da One In Charge tell Gideon, “Still yet, get mo plenny army guys den you need. Take um down by da watta. I goin make one tes fo dem ova dea. If I tell, ‘Dis one goin go wit you,’ den he goin go. But if I tell, ‘Dis one no goin go wit you,’ den he not goin go.”

5 So Gideon take da guys down by da watta.

7 Da One In Charge tell Gideon, “I goin get you outa da Midian guys powa, an give you guys da powa fo win ova dem, wit da three hundred guys dat lick da watta wit dea tongue.

Cuz I goin make you guys win ova da Midian guys. 10 If you sked fo attack um, den go down wit Purah, yoa helpa guy, 11 an lissen wat dey tell. Den you goin stay good inside fo attack dem.” So Gideon an Purah, his helpa guy, go down by da edge a dea camp. 12 Da Midian guys, da Amalek guys, an da odda guys from da east side wen stay inside da valley. Dey get plenny guys, jalike locust kine grasshoppas. No can count dea camels, jalike no can count da sand on top da beach.

14 His fren tell, “Fo shua, dat gotta be da army wit Gideon, Joash boy, da Israel guy. God goin let him win ova us Midian guys an all da res a da army!”

15 Wen Gideon hear da dream, an wat dat mean, he go down in front God. He go back by da Israel camp, an yell, “Get up! Cuz Da One In Charge goin make you guys win ova da Midian guys!” 16 Gideon split da three hundred guys in three. He give erybody sheep horn trumpets an empty clay jars wit torches inside.

17 He tell, “Watch me! Do wat I goin do! Wen I come by da edge a da camp, make jalike me!” 18 Wen me an da odda guys wit me blow oua sheep horn trumpets, den from all aroun da camp, you guys blow yoa trumpets too, an yell, “Fo Da One In Charge! An fo Gideon!”

19 Right afta midnite wen da Midian guys change dea guard guys, Gideon an da one hundred guys wit him come by da edge a da camp. Dey blow dea sheep horn trumpets, an smash da jars dey get inside dea hands. 20 Den all da three parts a da Israel army blow dea trumpets, an smash dea jars. Dey get da torch in dea lef hand, an da trumpet dey goin blow in dea right hand. An dey yell, “One sword fo Da One In Charge an fo Gideon!” 21 All dem stay wea dey stan aroun da camp. But all da Midian guys run away, yelling.

22 Wen da three hundred trumpets make noise, Da One In Charge make da Midian guys inside dea camp attack each odda wit dea swords. Dea army guys run away to Bet-Shittah nea Zerarah to da edge a Abel-Meholah, nea Tabbat. 23 Gideon call back da odda Israel army guys from Naftali, Asher, an all da Manasseh guys, an dey go chase da Midian guys too. 24 Gideon sen messenja guys all ova up country Efraim. Dey tell, “Go down an attack da Midian guys! Go da Jordan Riva befo dey reach dea! Take ova da Jordan Riva all da way to Bet-Barah!”

4 Gideon an da three hundred guys wit him, dey stay wore out. But still yet dey stay chase da Midian guys. Dey come da Jordan Riva, an cross um. 5 Gideon tell da Sukkot guys, “Try give my army guys some bread. Dey all had it. An still yet we stay chase Zebah an Zalmunna, da Midian king guys.”

6 But da Sukkot leada guys tell him, “You awready cut da hands off Zebah an Zalmunna, o wat?! How come we suppose to give yoa army guys bread, aah?!”

7 Gideon tell dem, “Cuz you guys talk lidat, I stay shua dat wen Da One In Charge let us guys win ova Zebah an Zalmunna, I goin rip you guys skin wit sharp thorns from da boonies!”

8 From ova dea Gideon go Peniel town an aks dem fo bread too, but dey tell da same ting jalike da Sukkot guys. 9 So he tell da Peniel guys same ting: “Wen I come back afta I win, I goin broke down dis towa ova hea.”

Az was all da guys dat still stay alive from da east side peopos, afta 120,000 guys wit swords wen mahke awready. 11 Gideon go up da road da peopo use dat live in tents an no stay one place long time cuz dey need grass fo dea animals, da east side a Nobah an Jogbehah. Cuz da Midian guys dea donno Gideon stay come, da Gideon guys wack dea army camp. 12 So Zebah an Zalmunna, da two Midian king guys, run away fas, but Gideon guys chase um an catch um. An Gideon dem make all da Midian army guys run all ova da place.

13 Den Gideon, Joash boy, come back from da fight on top Heres Pass. 14 He catch one young guy from Sukkot town, an aks him fo tell um stuff.

You guys wen tell, ‘You awready cut da hands off Zebah an Zalmunna, o wat?!

23 But Gideon tell dem, “I no goin be yoa leada. An my boy no goin be yoa leada. Cuz Da One In Charge goin be yoa leada.” 24 Den he tell, “I goin tell you guys fo do one ting. Erybody give me one earring from da stuff you wen take from da mahke Midian guys.” (Cuz dey Ishmael guys, dey erytime wear one gold earring.)

3 Wen his uncles aks all da men guys Shekem side bout dis, dey tink az good dey go wit Abimelek, cuz dey tell, “He oua braddah!” 4 Dey give him twenny-eight ounce silva from da Baal-Berit temple. Abimelek use da silva fo pay some no good buckaloose guys fo back him up. 5 He go his faddah house inside Ofrah town, an on top one big rock he kill his seventy half braddahs, Jerub-Baal boys. Ony Jotam, Jerub-Baal younges boy, get outa dea an hide. 6 Den all da men guys inside Shekem an Bet-Millo come togedda by da side a da big oak tree an da big stan up stone inside Shekem, fo make Abimelek dea king.

7 Somebody tell Jotam bout dat. So den he go up on top Mount Gerazim an yell to dem, “Lissen me, you Shekem men guys! Fo God lissen you guys bumbye! 8 One time, jalike da trees go out fo pick one tree fo make um king fo dem. Dey tell da olive tree, ‘You come king fo us guys!’

9 “But da olive tree tell dem, ‘You tink I goin give up my oil, dat peopo use fo show respeck fo da gods an fo odda peopo, jus fo go wave my branches ova da odda trees?! Naah!’

10 “Nex, da trees tell da fig tree, ‘You come king fo us guys!’

11 “But da fig tree tell dem, ‘You tink I goin give up my fruit, dass real good an sweet, an go wave my branches ova da odda trees?! No ways!’

16 Den Jotam tell: “Kay den. Maybe you Shekem guys tell da trut. An maybe you wen do da right kine ting wen you make Abimelek yoa king. An maybe you do da right kine ting fo Jerub-Baal an his blood line. An maybe you make to him how you suppose to—but you guys neva do notting lidat! 17 Try tink! My faddah wen fight fo you guys.

You make Abimelek, dat wen born from one slave girl, come da king fo da Shekem peopo, cuz he yoa braddah! 19 Maybe az true an az da right ting fo do. Den wat you guys wen do today show you guys get respeck fo Jerub-Baal an his ohana. Den let Abimelek make you guys stay good inside, an you guys make him stay good inside too! 20 But if az not how, den I like da fire come out from Abimelek an burn you leada guys up, an fire come out from you leada guys from Shekem an Bet-Millo an burn up Abimelek!”

21 Den Jotam run away to Beer-Sheba town, an he live ova dea, cuz he sked his braddah Abimelek.

22 Afta Abimelek stay in charge a da Israel peopo fo three year, 23 God sen one spirit fo make da Shekem guys come hamajang an go agains Abimelek. Dey do stuff dat show Abimelek dat dey no trus him. 24 God make lidat fo him pay back Abimelek an da Shekem guys fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do agains Jerub-Baal seventy boys. Az cuz da Shekem guys wen help Abimelek kill his braddahs. 25 Fo go agains Abimelek, da Shekem mens put guys on top all da hills fo hide dea fo jump Abimelek. Dey jump all da peopo dat pass thru dea on top da road, fo rip dem off. Somebody tell Abimelek wat dey stay do.

26 Dat time, Gaal, Eved boy, go move house Shekem town wit his braddahs. Da main Shekem guys trus him fo come dea leada. 27 Wen harves time come, da Shekem guys all go out inside dea fields, an bring in da grapes, an step um fo make wine. Den dey make one big party inside da temple fo dea god. Wen dey stay eat an drink, dey put plenny kahuna on top Abimelek.

28 Den Gaal, Eved boy, tell, “Who dis buggah Abimelek?! An why us Shekem guys goin let him stay in charge a us guys, aah? Dis Abimelek guy, he Jerub-Baal boy, aah? An Zebul his helpa. But you guys suppose to work fo Hamor, dat was Shekem faddah long time befo time. So! How come us guys gotta work fo Abimelek?! No need! 29 I not da leada fo dis peopo hea. But if you guys let me lead you, den I goin throw him out! I goin tell Abimelek, ‘Tell all yoa army guys fo come!’ ”

30 Wen da mayor Zebul fo Shekem town hear wat Gaal tell, he come real huhu. 31 He sen messenja guys by Abimelek secret kine. Dey tell, “You know wat?! Gaal, Eved boy, wen come Shekem. He make da peopo ova hea inside Shekem go agains you. 32 So. Nite time, you an yoa guys gotta hide inside da fields. 33 Morning time get up early, wen da sun come up. Attack da town! Wen Gaal an his guys come outside fo fight you, do wateva you gotta do!”

34 So Abimelek an all his army guys go way from dea camp nite time. Dey come hide nea Shekem, four place. 35 Gaal, Eved boy, go out an stan nea da town gate. An right den an dea, Abimelek an his army guys come outa wea dey stay hide.

36 Gaal spock dem, an he tell Zebul, “Look! Get army guys stay come down from da mountains!”

Zebul tell um, “Not! Wat you see, look jalike peopo, but az jus da shadow from da mountains!”

37 But Gaal talk one mo time: “No! Look! Get army guys coming down from da middo a da land. An odda guys come da road from da oak tree wea peopo talk wit da mahke peopo spirits.”

17 ✡“Da Israel peopo sen messenja guys by da Edom king, an tell, ‘Let us go thru yoa land.’ But da Edom king neva lissen. Dey sen messenja guys by da Moab king too, an he neva lissen. So da Israel peopo stay Kadesh side.

18 ✡“Nex, dey go thru da boonies, aroun da outside a da Edom land an da Moab land, an go by da east side a da Moab land. Dey make camp da odda side a da Arnon Riva. Dey no go inside da Moab land, cuz da Arnon Riva stay on da edge.

19 ✡“Den da Israel peopo sen messenjas by Sihon, da king fo da Amor peopo, dat stay in charge inside Heshbon town. Dey tell him, ‘Try let us go thru yoa land fo go oua place.’ 20 But Sihon neva trus da Israel peopo fo go thru his land. He bring togedda his army guys, an make camp Jahaz side, an fight da Israel army guys.

21 “Den Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, make da Israel guys win ova Sihon an all his army guys. So da Israel peopo take ova all da land wea da Amor peopo live. 22 Dey take um all ova from da Arnon Riva to da Jabbok Riva, an from da boonies to da Jordan Riva.

23 “Kay den! Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, wen push out da Amor peopo in front da Israel peopo. Az why you guys no can take ova! 24 Keep da property yoa god Kemosh wen give you. Same ting, us guys goin keep da property dat oua God, Da One In Charge, wen give us. 25 ✡You guys tink you mo betta den Balak, Zippor boy, da Moab king, o wat?! He neva make argue wit da Israel guys o fight dem. 26 Fo three hundred year da Israel peopo stay inside Heshbon town, Aroer town, da odda towns aroun dea, an all da towns by da Arnon Riva. How come you guys neva take um back dat time? 27 Me, I neva do notting wrong agains you guys, but you guys do da wrong ting agains us, cuz you make war agains us. Let Da One In Charge, da Judge, tell who stay wrong today, da Israel peopo o da Ammon peopo!”

28 But da Ammon king no lissen wat Jeftah tell him.

29 Den da Spirit from Da One In Charge take ova Jeftah. He go ova da Gilead land, an da Manasseh land, go thru Mizpah inside Gilead, an from dea he get da army fo go agains da Ammon guys. 30 Jeftah make one strong promise to Da One In Charge.

32 Den Jeftah dem go ova fo fight da Ammon guys, an Da One In Charge make dem win. 33 He wack da peopo inside twenny towns from Aroer town to nea Minnit, all da way to Abel Keramim town. Az how da Israel peopo win ova da Ammon guys.

34 Wen Jeftah come home Mizpah side, his girl come out fo meet him, dancing wit one tammorine! She his ony kid. He no mo boy o odda girl. 35 ✡Wen he spock her, he rip his clotheses. He yell, “Bummahs! My girl! You wen bring me down, an jam up my life! Cuz I wen make one strong promise to Da One In Charge, dat I no can broke!”

36 She tell, “My faddah, you wen make one promise to Da One In Charge. So den, make to me jalike you wen tell. Cuz Da One In Charge let you pay back da Ammon peopo dat stay agains you. 37 But I get someting fo aks. I can go holoholo wit my frenz inside da hill country an cry fo two month, cuz I no goin marry, o not?”

38 He tell her, “You can go.” So he let her go fo two month. Her an da odda girls go inside da hills an cry, cuz she no goin marry. 39 Afta two month she come back. Her faddah make to her how he wen make one strong promise fo do. An she neva sleep wit one guy.

Nobody goin shave da boy head, cuz he goin be spesho fo God. From da time he born, he goin follow da Nazir kine rules. An he goin be da one dat start fo get da Israel guys outa da Filisha guys powa.”

So from now, no drink wine o beer, an no eat notting fo make you jam up, so no can go in front God. Cuz da boy goin be spesho fo God, one guy dat stick wit da Nazir kine rules, from da time he born till he mahke.’ ”

8 Den Manoah pray to Da One In Charge. He tell, “Boss, I beg you, let da messenja guy you wen sen, come by us guys one mo time, fo teach us wat us guys gotta do fo dis boy dat goin born.” 9 God lissen Manoah. Da angel messenja guy come one mo time by da wahine wen she stay in da country side. Her husban Manoah no stay wit her. 10 Da wahine run quick fo tell her husban. She tell, “Eh!

Cuz dey still yet no can take ova da land dey get wit da odda Israel peopo, fo make um come dea property. 2 So da Dan peopo sen five army guys from Zorah town an Eshtaol town dat know how fo fight.

He take da spesho ves, da odda gods, da idol dey carve, an go wit da army guys. 21 Da Dan guys put dea small kids, dea animals, an dea stuffs in front dem, an go way.

22 Wen dey go away litto bit from Micah house, somebody call da guys dat live nea Micah togedda, an dey go chase da Dan peopo. 23 Da Micah guys yell at da Dan guys. Da Dan guys turn aroun an tell Micah, “Bodda you?! How come you yell to yoa guys fo fight?!”

24 Micah tell, “You guys take da gods I wen make, an my pries guy, an go way. Now I no mo notting! How come you guys tell, ‘Bodda you?!’ ”

25 Da Dan guys tell Micah, “Eh, watch it! No go yell at us guys! Maybe get some a oua guys dat like fight, go attack you, an you an yoa ohana goin mahke.” 26 So da Dan guys go way. An Micah know dat dey too strong fo him, so he turn aroun an go back home.

27 But da Dan guys take da tings Micah wen make, an his pries guy, an go Laish side. Dey go agains one peopo dat no like fight an no tink someting bad goin happen to dem. Da Dan guys go afta dem wit swords, an burn Laish town. 28 No mo nobody fo help dem, cuz dey live far from Sidon, an dey not frenz wit odda peopo. Dea big town stay inside one valley nea Bet-Rehob.

Dey aks, “We goin go up fo fight oua braddahs one mo time, da Benjamin guys, o wat?”

Da One In Charge tell, “Go! Cuz tomorra I goin make you guys win ova dem.”

29 Den some a da Israel guys hide all aroun Gibeah, fo get ready fo go afta da Benjamin guys. 30 Day numba three, da Israel guys go up agains da Benjamin guys one mo time, an line up agains da Gibeah guys, jalike dey wen do befo time. 31 Da Benjamin guys go out fo fight um, an dey go mo far from Gibeah town. Dey start fo kill some Israel guys jalike befo, so bout thirty guys mahke country side an on top da roads. One road go to Bethel, an da odda go Gibeah.

33 Da main bunch a da Israel guys go from wea dey stay, an line up fo fight nea Baal-Tamar. But same time, da odda Israel guys dat stay hide, jump up from dea place da west side a Gibeah town. 34 Den 10,000 Israel guys dat fight real good go strait an attack Gibeah town. Dey fight so hard dat da Benjamin guys donno dat someting mo bad goin happen to dem. 35 Da One In Charge make da Israel guys win ova da Benjamin guys. Dat day da Israel guys kill 25,100 Benjamin guys, no matta da Benjamin guys get swords. 36 Den da Benjamin guys know dat da Israel guys wen win ova dem.

Dis how eryting wen happen. Da Israel guys wen let da Benjamin guys chase dem, cuz dey trus da guys dat stay hide nea Gibeah. 37 Da guys dat stay hide go real fas inside Gibeah town, spread out, an kill erybody inside da town wit dea swords. 38 Da Israel guys wen make one plan befo time wit da guys dat goin hide, fo da guys dat go inside make plenny smoke go up from da town, 39 fo da odda Israel guys know az time fo turn aroun an attack da Benjamin guys.

41 Den da Israel guys turn back fo fight, an da Benjamin guys come real sked, cuz dey know dey goin come wipe out! 42 Az why dey run away from in front da Israel guys fo follow da road dat go da boonies, but dey still no can get away from da fight. An get guys come outa Gibeah an Bethel too, an wipe dem out ova dea. 43 Da Israel guys make one circle aroun some a da Benjamin guys an chase da oddas east from Gibeah town too. 44 18,000 Benjamin guys mahke, no matta dey know how fo fight good. 45 Wen da res a da Benjamin army guys turn aroun an try run fo da Rimmon Cliff inside da boonies, da Israel guys kill 5,000 Benjamin guys on top da main roads.

21

Wifes Fo Da Benjamin Guys

1 Befo time, Mizpah side, da Israel guys wen make one strong promise fo erybody know dat dey goin keep um: “No mo nobody from us guys goin let dea girls marry one Benjamin guy.”

2 Da peopo go Bethel town, an sit in front Da One In Charge till almos dark, moaning an crying real bad. 3 Dey tell, “Da One In Charge, you da God fo da Israel peopo! How come dis wen happen inside Israel? How come today, one Israel ohana wen disappea, so no moa?”

4 Early da nex morning da peopo build one altar, an dey make burn up kine sacrifices an da kine sacrifices dat tell dat dem an Da One In Charge stay good wit each odda.

5 Den da Israel peopo tell, “From all da Israel ohanas, get anybody dat neva show up Mizpah town in front Da One In Charge? da time us guys all meet togedda ova dea.” Cuz dey wen make one strong promise ova dea fo erybody know dat dey goin do um, dat whoeva no show up in front Da One In Charge Mizpah side, fo shua dey gotta mahke.

6 But now, da Israel peopo stay sad inside cuz a dea Benjamin ohana braddahs. Dey tell, “Today us guys wen cut off one ohana from oua Israel peopo! 7 How we goin find wifes fo da Benjamin guys dat still stay alive? Cuz us guys wen make one strong promise in front Da One In Charge fo no give da Benjamin guys oua girls fo marry!”

8 Den dey aks, “Wen us guys wen stay Mizpah side, get any peopo from da Israel ohanas, dat neva come togedda wit us guys in front Da One In Charge?” Dey find out dat wen dey wen count da army guys, nobody from Jabesh-Gilead wen come da camp dat time, fo da meeting. 9 Cuz wen dey wen count da men, dey find out dat no mo nobody from Jabesh-Gilead wen stay dea.

10 So da guys dat meet togedda sen twelve tousan guys fo go Jabesh-Gilead side an kill all da army guys dat live ova dea, an da wahines an da kids too. 11 Dey tell, “Dis wat you guys goin do. Wipe out all da Jabesh-Gilead guys jalike dey one sacrifice. An same ting fo all da wahines ova dea dat sleep wit one guy awready.” 12 Dey go Jabesh-Gilead, an find 400 young wahines dat neva sleep wit one guy. Dey bring dem to da camp Shiloh side, inside Canaan.

13 Den all da peopo sen messenjas by da 600 Benjamin guys dat stay Rimmon Cliff, fo tell dem dey no like fight no moa. 14 So dat time da Benjamin guys come back. Da Israel guys give dem da 400 young wahines dey neva kill from Jabesh-Gilead. But no mo enuff fo all a da Benjamin guys.

15 Da army guys still stay sad inside fo da Benjamin ohana, cuz Da One In Charge make one puka inside da Israel ohanas. 16 So da older leadas tell, “Da Benjamin wahines, almos wipe out awready. So, how we goin get wifes fo da Benjamin guys dat no mo wife? 17 Gotta get peopo dat goin get kids, so dea kids goin get da right fo own da Benjamin ohana property! Cuz no good, one Israel ohana come wipe out! 18 Us guys no can give dem oua girls fo come dea wifes, cuz us Israel guys wen make da strong promise: ‘Anybody give dea girl fo come da wife fo one Benjamin guy, dey get kahuna on top dem!’ 19 But you know wat?! Get one hoolaulea fo Da One In Charge ery year inside Shiloh. (Dass north side from Bethel, an east side a da road dat go from Bethel to Shekem, an south a da road dat go Lebonah.)”

20 So dey tell da Benjamin guys dat still no mo wife wat dey gotta do: “Go hide inside da grape farms an wait dea. 21 Wen you see da girls from Shiloh come out fo dance, den run outa da grape farms! Grab one Shiloh girl fo come yoa wife, an go da Benjamin land! 22 Fo shua, dea faddahs o braddahs goin come grumble to us guys. But we goin tell dem, ‘Eh, try do one good ting fo help dem! Cuz us neva find enuff wifes fo dem wen we fight da Jabesh-Gilead guys. An dis way, you guys no goin get da blame fo broke yoa promise to Da One In Charge, cuz you neva give yoa girls to da Benjamin guys!’ ”

23 So az wat da Benjamin guys wen do. Wen da girls stay dance, all dem catch one, an kidnap her fo come his wife. Den dey go back da land dey own, an build dea towns one mo time, an live ova dea.

24 Den da odda Israel guys go way from ova dea, an go back dea families an ohanas, all dem to dea property.

25 ✡Dat time da Israel peopo neva get king. Erybody wen do wateva dey tink az good.

So den Naomi stay stuck dea wit her two boys. 4 Da two boys, Mahlon an Kilion, grow up an marry two wahines from da Moab peopo. Mahlon marry Ruth, an Kilion marry Orpah. Afta dey stay dea bout ten year, 5 da boys Mahlon an Kilion, dey mahke too. So Naomi, she stay dea alone. No mo husban, an no mo boys o grankids.

An you wen stay tight wit me too. 9 I like Da One In Charge fo help you guys find good, solid guys ova dea fo come yoa new husbans!” Den Naomi kiss Ruth an Orpah fo tell um aloha, an dey start fo cry plenny.

13 Ruth tell Boaz, “Eh boss! You stay real good to me! You wen give me good kine words an you talk to me wit one good heart. Jalike I one a yoa worka wahines, no matta I not, an no can come one a dem.”

14 Lunch time, Boaz tell Ruth, “Eh! Come ova hea! Eat wit us guys! Take some a da bread fo eat, an if you like, put litto bit inside dat sour wine ova dea.” Az why Ruth go sit down nea da peopo dat work fo harves da barley an eat lunch wit dem. Boaz, he pass some roas barley to her. So she eat all she like, an still yet, get mo plenny den she can eat.

15 Afta Ruth stan up fo go pick up some mo barley, Boaz tell his worka guys, “Let her pick up da extra barley, even ova dea wea you guys tie up da barley plants afta you harves um. No make her come shame. 16 An den wen you guys tie up da barley, make shua you pull out litto bit fo her an leave um ova dea fo her pick up. No go scold her notting!”

“An you know wat? Tonite, Boaz goin go fo work da place wea dey take da junks outa da wheat fo make um ready fo eat. 3 So den, you go bafe, an put perfume, an wear yoa nices clothes. Go da place wea dey take da junks outa da wheat. But no let Boaz know you dea, till afta he pau eat. 4 Watch so you know wea he go lay down fo sleep. Afta he go sleep, go ova dea wea he stay sleep, an take da blanket off his feets, an lay down dea by his feets. Boaz, he know how oua peopo do, an he goin tell you wat you gotta do fo him take kea you.”

5 Ruth tell, “Okay, I go do um, jalike you tell me fo do!”

6 So Ruth go da place wea dey take da junks outa da wheat. She do jalike her muddah-in-law tell her fo do. 7 Boaz, he wen eat an feel plenny good. Den he go lay down one side a da place wea dey pile up da barley. He go sleep ova dea. Laytas, Ruth go ova dea real quick an no make noise, an take da blanket off Boaz feets, an lay down dea. 8 Bout midnite time, someting make Boaz sked litto bit, an he wake up an turn ova. An eh! had one wahine, laying dea by his feets!

9 So he tell, “Eh! Who you?”

Ruth tell, “Dis me, Ruth. I jalike one a yoa worka wahines. An you, you from my mahke faddah-in-law ohana. Da way yoa peopo do stuff, you one a da guys from da ohana dat suppose to marry me an get kids fo my mahke husban, cuz you jalike one cousin fo him. So, put da end a yoa blanket ova me fo show you goin take me fo come yoa wife!”

10 Dat blow Boaz mind. He tell, “Eh Ruth! Da One In Charge, he do plenny good tings fo you! You wen do good too, cuz you stay tight wit yoa mahke husban ohana wen you come hea. An da ting you stay do right now, show mo plenny still yet dat you get respeck fo da ohana, cuz you no stay try fo marry one a da younga guys, no matta dey rich o no mo notting! 11 So, no sked! I goin do jalike you wen tell me fo do fo you. No pilikia, cuz all da older leada guys fo my peopo know dat you one wahine dat stay strong inside.

12 ✡“Ony one ting now. Fo shua, I one a da guys from da Elimelek ohana dat get da right fo marry you fo get kids fo yoa mahke husban, cuz I jalike one cousin fo him. But you know, get anodda guy dat mo nea yoa husban den me, so he get mo right fo marry you, mo den me. 13 So, stay hea tonite. Morning time, I go talk to him.

Dass cuz you an Elimelek da same blood. So, if you like buy um fo da land stay wit da ohana, den buy um in front all dese peopo dat stay hea, dese leada guys fo my peopo. But if you no like, den tell me in front all dis guys so I know, cuz I like buy um. You get da main right fo buy um fo da ohana, but I get da right afta you, if you no like buy um.”

Da odda guy tell, “Kay den, I buy um fo da ohana.”

5 Den Boaz tell da odda guy, “You know, wen you buy dis piece land from Naomi, dat mean you gotta take da Moab wahine Ruth same time, cuz she wen marry Elimelek boy, da one dat wen mahke. You da one dat gotta marry her, fo get kids wit her mahke husban name. Az how da Elimelek blood line no goin go way, an his land goin stay wit da ohana.

Dass how erybody know wat kine deal dey make.) 8 So wen da guy dat get da right fo buy da land tell Boaz, “You buy um,” Boaz take off his slippa an give um to da guy in front erybody.

9 Den Boaz tell da older leada guys an da odda peopo dat was dea, “All you guys, you wen see wat wen happen hea today. I goin buy from Naomi all da land dat Elimelek an his boys Mahlon an Kilion wen get befo time. 10 ✡An not jus da land—da wahine Ruth from Moab, dat wen marry Mahlon befo he mahke, I stay buying da right fo make her my wife.

Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal

1 Afta da Filisha army guys take ova God Box, dey take um from Ebenezer wea dey wen start fo fight to dea big town Ashdod. 2 Dey take da Box inside da temple fo dea god Dagon, an dey put um nea da Dagon statue. 3 Wen da Ashdod peopo get up early da nex morning, you know wat? Dey find Dagon wen fall down on his face on top da floor, in front da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge! So dey take Dagon an put um back on top his place. 4 But den, da nex morning wen dey get up, dey see Dagon stay fall down one mo time on his face, on top da floor in front Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge! Dis time, Dagon head an his hands stay chop off, an stay ova dea on top da board unda da door. Ony da body stay by da place wea dey put da statue. 5 (Az why even now, da pries guys fo Dagon, an da odda peopo dat go inside Dagon temple, Ashdod side, dey no step on top da board undaneat dat door.)

6 Den Da One In Charge start fo give da Ashdod peopo an da odda peopo aroun dem plenny trouble. He wack um hard wit one real bad kine sick on top dem—erybody get someting jalike lumps unda da skin. 7 Wen da Ashdod guys see wat stay happen, dey tell, “Dat box fo da Israel god, mo betta if no stay wit us.

Dey Bring Da Box Back Israel Side

1 Fo seven month, Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge stay inside da Filisha land. 2 Den da Filisha leada guys call dea pries guys an da guys dat aks dea gods wat goin happen. Dey tell, “Wat we goin do wit da box fo Da One In Charge, da Israel god? Tell us guys awready, how we goin sen um back da place wea suppose to stay?”

3 Da Filisha pries guys an da guys dat aks dea gods wat goin happen, dey tell, “If you guys da one dat goin sen back da box fo da Israel god, den no sen um back empty! But fo shua, sen one sacrifice wit da box. Dis goin pay fo da blame us Filisha peopo get. If yoa sick guys come good, den you goin know az was dea god dat wen make um come good. Cuz wen you guys sen dem back dea box, den maybe he no goin wack you no mo wit da real bad kine sick.”

4 Da Filisha guys aks dem, “Wat kine sacrifice we suppose to sen back fo show dat us guys stay sorry?”

Dey tell, “You know how you guys wen swell up wit da lumps? Kay den. Make five lumps outa gold, an make five rat outa gold. Dass cuz us Filisha peopo, we get five main alii guys, an da real bad kine sick wen wack you guys an yoa leada guys too. 5 Copy yoa swell up places, an copy da rats dat stay wipe out da peopo inside dis land. Show plenny respeck fo da Israel peopo god. Den, maybe he goin pau give hard time to you guys, yoa gods, an yoa land. 6 No good, you know, dat you guys make hard head, jalike da Egypt peopo an da Pharaoh guy wen make, long time befo time! Wen da Pharaoh guy give da Israel peopo hard time, ony afta Da One In Charge wen bus up da Egypt peopo, den Pharaoh an da Egypt peopo let da Israel peopo go outa dea land. An da Israel peopo, dey get outa dea!

7 “Now, go make one new cart. Go get two cows dat neva get yoke on top dem yet, an awready born bebes. Tie da cows an yoke um to da cart. Take away dea bebes, an tie um up by da house fo dem no go wit da muddahs. 8 Take da Box Fo Da One In Charge, da Israel god, an put um on top da cart. Inside one bag, by da side, put da gold tings dat you guys wen make. Dose tings goin be one sacrifice fo dea god, cuz you guys get da blame fo all da bad kine stuff you wen do. Den, let da cows an da cart go an nobody go wit um. 9 But betta watch um good! Cuz maybe da cows goin take da Box up dea by da land wea da Box wen stay befo time, by Bet-Shemesh. Den dat goin mean, dat was da real Israel god dat give us guys one real hard time. But if da cows no take da Box up dea, den us guys goin know dat dea god neva do notting, but eryting dat wen happen, jus wen happen.”

10 So, da Filisha guys make lidat. Dey take two cows lidat, an tie um to da cart, an tie up dea bebes by da house. 11 Dey put da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge on top da cart, an by da Box dey put one bag wit da gold rats, an da small gold statues dat look jalike da lumps. 12 Den da cows go strait up by Bet-Shemesh. Dey stay on top da road, an make noise da whole way. Dey no turn by da right side o da lef side. Da leadas fo da Filisha peopo stay walk in back dem an watch um all da way to da Bet-Shemesh land.

13 Dat time, da Bet-Shemesh peopo stay harves dea wheat inside da valley. Dey look up an wen dey see da Box, dey come real good inside. 14-15 Da cart go inside da field fo Joshua, da one from Bet-Shemesh, an stop right ova dea. Had one big rock ova dea. Da Levi ohana guys take down Da Box, an da bag wit da gold tings inside, an put um on top da big rock. Den da Bet-Shemesh peopo chop up da wood from da cart an dey kill da cows fo make one burn up kine sacrifice fo Da One In Charge. An dat day, da Bet-Shemesh peopo make dea regula kine sacrifice right dea an make burn up kine sacrifice fo Da One In Charge too. 16 Da five leadas fo da Filisha peopo see eryting dat happen. Den dey go back dat same day Ekron side.

17 Da five gold lumps, da Filisha peopo sen um to Da One In Charge, fo make one sacrifice fo da blame dey get: one fo Ashdod, one fo Gaza, one fo Ashkelon, one fo Gat, an one fo Ekron. 18 Dey sen five gold rats, fo da five leadas dat come from da five big towns dat get strong wall, dat get mo small towns aroun um in da country side. Da big rock, wea da Levi ohana guys put da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge, still stay dea today inside Joshua field Bet-Shemesh side.

19 But seventy guys Bet-Shemesh side wen go look inside da Box. Cuz dey do dat, Da One In Charge wack um, an dey mahke. Da peopo stay sad inside, cuz Da One In Charge wack dose seventy guys real hard lidat. 20 Da Bet-Shemesh peopo aks each odda, “You tink get one pries dat can stan in front Da One In Charge, dis God dat stay good an spesho? Who we can sen da Box to fo get um away from us guys awready?”

21 Den dey sen messenja guys by da peopo Kiriat-Jearim side. Dey tell, “Da Filisha peopo wen sen back da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. Go come down hea an bring um back up dea, yoa place!”

7

1 ✡So, da Kiriat-Jearim guys come an take Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. Dey bring um Abinadab place on top da hill, an make his boy Eleazar spesho fo Da One In Charge, fo watch an take kea da Box.

Samuel Dem Win Ova
Da Filisha Guys Mizpah Side

2 Long time, twenny year awready, Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge stay Kiriat-Jearim. An all da Israel peopo make sad kine noise cuz dey stay sad inside, an dey try know Da One In Charge mo betta. 3 Samuel tell all da Israel ohana peopo, “If dass fo real you guys goin go back togedda wit Da One In Charge, den throw out da gods from da odda peopos, an da Ashtoret idols. Den, go fo broke fo Da One In Charge, an work ony fo him. Cuz den, he goin get you guys outa da Filisha peopo powa!” 4 So da Israel peopo throw out da Baal gods an da Ashtoret idols, an now dey work ony fo Da One In Charge.

5 Nex, Samuel tell, “All you Israel peopo, come togedda Mizpah side, fo me pray to Da One In Charge fo help you guys.” 6 Wen da peopo come togedda Mizpah side, dey bring watta from one puka, an pour um out in front Da One In Charge. All day, da peopo skip food wen dey pray, an tell Da One In Charge, “Us sorry, aah?! dat we wen go agains you an do bad kine stuff.”

An Samuel, he stay da leada guy fo judge da Israel peopo Mizpah side.

7 Wen da Filisha peopo hear dat da Israel peopo wen come togedda Mizpah side, dea leada guys take dea army an go up Mizpah fo go afta da Israel peopo. Wen da Israel peopo hear bout um, dey come sked cuz a da Filisha army guys. 8 Dey tell Samuel, “Yell fo help to oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, an no stop yell fo him get us guys outa da Filisha guys powa!” 9 So Samuel take one bebe sheep dat still suck milk, an make one burn up kine sacrifice wit da whole bebe sheep fo Da One In Charge. Samuel call out to Da One In Charge, an Da One In Charge talk to him.

10 Same time Samuel stay make da burn up kine sacrifice, da Filisha guys stay come nea fo fight da Israel guys. But right den an dea, Da One In Charge make one loud, big, strong kine thunda fo go agains da Filisha guys, an make dem come real mix up fo dem run away. 11 Da Israel guys run outa Mizpah, an run afta da Filisha guys, an kill dem wen dey stay run, all da way makai side Bet-Kar.

12 Den Samuel take one mangus rock, an put um up one place wea get Mizpah on one side, an Shen on da odda side. He name um “Ebenezer,” dat mean “Help Monument,” cuz he tell, “Da One In Charge wen help us all da way to dis place!” 13 So da Israel guys win ova da Filisha guys, an da Filisha guys neva go inside da Israel land no moa.

All da time Samuel stay alive, Da One In Charge stay agains da Filisha peopo. 14 Da towns from Ekron to Gat, dat da Filisha peopo wen take away from da Israel peopo befo time, da Israel peopo get um back one mo time. An da Israel guys get all da peopo aroun dea outa da Filisha peopo powa. An dat time too, da Israel peopo an da Amor peopo no fight each odda.

15 Samuel stay da local leada fo da Israel peopo all da time he stay alive. 16 Ery year he go aroun from Bethel, to Gilgal, to Mizpah. He stay judge da Israel peopo inside all dose places. 17 But he erytime go back by Ramah, cuz he stay judge da Israel peopo ova dea too, an az wea he live. An he build one altar ova dea fo Da One In Charge.

1 Dat time, wen Samuel come ol, he make his boys come da local leada guys fo all da Israel peopo. 2 His numba one boy name Joel. Da numba two boy name Abijah. Dem, da local leada guys Beer-Sheba side. 3 But Samuel boys no do stuff jalike dea faddah. Dey go da wrong way fo da money. An dey take unda da table money too! Dey suppose to judge wass right an wass wrong. But erytime, dey make shua dat dey judge da wrong way.

4 So, all da older leada guys come togedda, an go by Samuel, Ramah side. 5 ✡Dey tell um, “Eh! We know you ol awready, an we know yoa boys no like do stuff jalike you. Az why we stay tell you, make somebody da king fo lead us guys, jalike all da odda peopos get king.” 6 But wen dey tell, “Give one king fo lead us guys,” Samuel tink, “Eh!

Tell um serious kine, dat wen da king make up his mind, dey gotta lissen him, no matta dey no like!”

10 Den Samuel tell eryting Da One In Charge wen tell him to da peopo dat stay aks him fo one king. 11 Samuel tell, “Dis how da king dat goin lead you guys goin do. He goin take yoa boys an make some a dem work wit his war wagons an horses, an odda boys goin run in front his war wagons fo fight. 12 He goin pick some a yoa boys an make dem his officer guys in charge a tousan army guys, an some in charge a fifty army guys. He goin tell some a yoa odda boys fo plow his fields fo him an harves his wheat an barley. An, he goin tell yoa odda boys fo make da tings da army guys use fo fight, an make stuff fo his war wagons. 13 He goin tell yoa girls fo make perfume fo him, an fo cook an bake. 14 He goin take ova yoa bestes wheat fields, an grape farms, an olive trees fo him give um to his helpa guys. 15 Den he goin take ten percent a yoa wheat an barley an yoa grapes, an give um to his palace guys an his odda helpa guys. 16 He goin take da guys an wahines dat work fo you guys, an yoa bestes cows an donkeys, an use um fo do ony his jobs. 17 He goin take ten percent a yoa sheeps an goats. An he even goin make you guys come his slave guys. 18 Da time goin come wen you guys goin yell to Da One In Charge, fo help you run away from da king dat you guys wen pick, but wen dat time come, Da One In Charge no goin help you guys!”

19 But da peopo no like lissen Samuel. Dey tell, “Nah! Not! No way! Us guys swea to God, we like one king fo lead us guys! 20 Den we goin come jalike da odda peopos, wit one king fo judge us guys, an go out in front us guys fo fight fo us guys.”

21 Wen Samuel hear all dat da peopo tell, he go tell Da One In Charge. 22 Da One In Charge tell Samuel, “Lissen to dem an give um one king.”

Den Samuel tell da Israel guys, “Kay den. Now you can go back yoa town awready.”

Samuel Pick Saul Fo Come Da King

1 Had one guy from da Benjamin ohana, dat erybody know, Kish, Abiel boy. Dea ancestas, Zeror, Bekorat, an Afiah. 2 Kish get one boy Saul. Saul, dass one good looking buggah, even mo good looking den all da odda Israel guys. He young, an eh! he real tall, mo den all da odda guys.

3 Had one time, some a Kish donkeys go wea nobody can find um. Az why Kish tell his boy Saul, “Take one a da worka guys wit you an go look fo da donkeys.” 4 So Saul an da worka guy, dey go up country Efraim from one side to da odda side, an thru da land aroun Shalishah. But dey no find da donkeys. Den, dey go mo down inside da Shaalim land, but da donkeys no stay ova dea too. Den dey go thru da Benjamin land, but still yet, dey no find um.

5 Wen Saul an da worka guy dat stay wit him come da Zuf land, Saul tell da worka guy, “Eh, we go back awready, o my faddah no goin tink bout da donkeys no moa, an he goin worry bout us.”

6 But da worka guy tell, “Eh, you know wat?! Get one guy inside dis town dat know God. Erybody get respeck fo him, an eryting da guy tell goin happen, happen. So, we go ova dea now. Maybe he tell us wea fo go.”

7 Saul tell da worka guy, “If we go, wat we can take fo give him? No mo food inside oua bag awready! Us no mo present fo give da guy dat know God. Wat we get, hah?”

8 Da worka guy tell Saul, “Look. I get one small piece silva. I goin give um to da guy dat know God fo him tell us guys wea fo go.” 9 (Now, befo time, wit da Israel peopo, wen one guy go some place fo find out someting from God, he tell, “Come! We go by da guy dat can see wass goin happen,” cuz az wat dey call da guys dat talk fo God, dat time, “guys dat can see.”)

10 Saul tell his worka guy, “Shoots, we go!” So dey go da town wea da guy dat know God stay.

11 Wen dey stay go up da hill to da town, dey meet some girls dat come out fo get watta from one well. Saul guys tell dem, “Da guy dat can see wass goin happen, he stay, o wat?”

12 An dey tell, “Yeah, he stay. He jus come oua town now. But you betta hurry up cuz he jus now going ahead a you guys. Az why oua peopo going to da top a da hill fo make one sacrifice dea. 13 Wen you guys go inside da town, you goin find him befo he go up da hill to da sacrifice place fo eat. Da peopo no goin start fo eat befo he come, cuz he gotta pray firs fo make da sacrifice spesho fo God. Den afta dat, da guys dey wen tell fo come, goin eat. Az why go up fas, an you goin find him!”

14 Saul an da worka guy go up da hill to da town. Wen dey stay go inside, right dea, get Samuel! He stay come nea dem fo go up da sacrifice place on da top a da hill.

15 Da day befo Saul come dea, Da One In Charge wen tell Samuel someting he neva know befoa. He tell: 16 “Bout dis time tomorra, I goin sen one guy from da Benjamin ohana land. Pour olive oil on top his head fo show he goin be da leada guy fo my Israel peopo. He da one dat goin get dem outa da Filisha guys powa. Cuz I wen see how my peopo suffa an cry an hear dem yell fo me fo help dem.”

17 So wen Samuel spock Saul, Da One In Charge tell Samuel, “Right dea! Dass da guy I wen tell you bout! He goin lead my peopo!”

18 Saul go nea Samuel right dea inside da town gate. He aks Samuel, “Try tell me, aah? Wea da house wea da guy dat can see wass goin happen stay?”

19 Samuel tell, “I da guy! dat can see wass goin happen. Az why you stay go an I stay come, up to da sacrifice place on da top a da hill. Cuz today, you guys goin eat wit me. An morning time, I goin tell you eryting you like know, den I goin let you go home. 20 Da donkeys you neva find fo da las three days, no worry bout dem. Dey no stay lost no moa. Now! All da Israel peopo goin turn to you an yoa faddah ohana, cuz dass wat dey fo real kine like see! You, dea leada!”

21 But Saul tell him, “Me?! I ony one guy from da Benjamin ohana, da mos small ohana inside Israel. An my blood line, da mos small from all da odda families inside da Benjamin ohana. How come you stay telling me dis?”

22 Den Samuel bring Saul an his worka guy inside da community centa. He tell dem fo sit down da mos importan place in front all da odda guys Samuel wen tell fo come. Had bout thirty guys dea.

23 Samuel tell da cook guy, “Bring da piece meat I wen give you, da one I wen tell you awready fo kapu.”

24 So da cook guy pick up da sacrifice leg bone wit da meat on top um (da one dat was kapu fo da pries guys ony). He put um in front Saul. Samuel tell, “Dis wat we wen keep fo you. So, eat um! I wen kapu um fo you fo dis meeting, fo you tell da peopo, ‘Go come hea eat!’ ” An Saul eat wit Samuel da same time.

25 Afta erybody come back down from da sacrifice place on da top a da hill a da town, Samuel talk plenny wit Saul on top his flat roof. 26 Saul an his worka guy wake up jus befo da sun come up. Wen da sun start fo come up, Samuel yell to Saul on top da flat roof. He tell, “Get ready, aah! I go wit you litto bit, den I let you go back home!” Wen Saul stay ready, him an Samuel go outside togedda. 27 Wen Samuel an Saul go down by da edge a da town, Samuel tell Saul, “Tell yoa worka guy fo go litto mo down in front us guys.” So da worka guy go dea. Den Samuel tell Saul, “You, stay hea short time moa. An I goin let you hear wat God tell.”

1 Den Samuel take some olive oil dat he get inside one small clay kine pitcha, an pour um on top Saul head, an he kiss Saul on his face. Samuel tell, “Da One In Charge wen pick you fo come da leada ova his peopo, you know. 2 Wen you go way from me today, you goin meet two guys nea da grave wea Rachel stay bury, by Zelzah, on da borda fo da Benjamin land. Dey goin tell you, ‘Da donkeys you wen go out fo find, somebody find um awready. Now yoa faddah pau tink bout da donkeys, an he worry bout you. He stay aks, “Wat I goin do bout my boy?

An you suppose to take um.

5 “Afta dat you goin go by Gibeah, God place. Get some Filisha army guys camp dea too. Wen you go nea da town, you goin meet some guys dat talk fo God dat stay come down from da sacrifice place on top da hill. Dey stay wit some odda guys dat stay play small harps, tammorines, flutes, an bass harps in front dem. An da talka guys goin stay talk fo God. 6 Da Spirit from Da One In Charge goin take ova you wit powa, an you goin talk fo God jalike dem, an God goin change you so you come one diffren kine guy. 7 Wen all dese tings happen, dat goin show I tell you da trut. So do wateva you figga az good fo do! Cuz God goin stay wit you.

8 “Go down by Gilgal befo I go dea. I goin come by you fo shua, fo make da burn up kine sacrifices an da sacrifices dat show dat Da One In Charge an da peopo stay good wit each odda. But you gotta wait seven days till I come by you fo tell you wat fo do.”

Samuel Make Saul Come Da King

9 Wen Samuel turn aroun fo go, God change Saul heart, an eryting Samuel wen tell, happen dat same day. 10 Wen dey come Gibeah side, right den an dea some guys dat talk fo God meet Saul. Da Spirit from God take ova Saul wit powa, an he start fo talk fo God, jalike dem. 11 Wen all da peopo dat know Saul befo time see dat, dey come shock cuz now he stay talk fo God, cuz he neva do dat befoa. Dey tell, “Wassup?! Wat wen happen to Kish boy? So now! Fo real Saul come one a da guys dat talk fo God too, o wat?!”

12 ✡One guy dat live ova dea tell, “An who da faddah fo dose guys dat talk fo God?”

So den erybody start fo tell each odda, “Saul one guy dat talk fo God too, o wat?” 13 Afta Saul pau talk fo God, he go up da hill to da place wea da peopo make sacrifice.

14 Bumbye, Saul uncle aks him an da worka guy, “Wea you guys wen go?”

Saul tell, “Us wen go look fo da donkeys. But wen we no can find um, we go by Samuel.”

15 Saul uncle aks, “Tell me wat Samuel wen tell you guys.”

16 Saul tell, “He tell us fo shua, somebody wen find da donkeys awready.” But Saul neva tell his uncle dat Samuel tell dat he goin come da king.

17 Den Samuel tell da Israel peopo fo come togedda in front Da One In Charge Mizpah side. 18 He tell um, “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘I wen get you guys outa trouble from da Egypt peopo. Was me! I wen bring you Israel peopo ova hea outa Egypt. An, I wen get you guys outa trouble one mo time from all da odda peopos dat put presha on you guys.’ 19 But now, you guys tell, no way you goin lissen me, yoa God. I da One dat wen get you guys outa trouble from all da bad kine stuff dat make you guys come bum out. You guys stay tell me, ‘Nah! Mo betta you put one king ova us guys!’ So now, line up in front Da One In Charge wit yoa families. Put yoa big an small kine ohanas togedda.”

20 Wen Samuel bring all da Israel ohanas nea him, God pick da Benjamin ohana. 21 Den Samuel bring da Benjamin ohana in front, one blood line an den anodda. An from dem, God pick da Matri ohana. An wen God pau, he pick Saul, Kish boy. But wen dey go look fo Saul, dey no can find him. 22 So dey aks Da One In Charge one mo time, “Dat guy come hea yet?”

Da One In Charge tell, “Yeah, he stay. He wen hide ova dea wea da peopo put dea stuffs.”

23 Da peopo run an bring Saul from ova dea. An wen he stan wit da peopo aroun him, he even mo tall den all da odda peopo, cuz dea head ony come up his shouldas! 24 Samuel tell all da peopo, “You guys see dat guy dat Da One In Charge wen pick? From all da peopo, no mo nobody jalike him!”

Den da peopo yell, “Yeah! Us like da king stay alive long time!”

25 Samuel tell da peopo wat da rules bout da king mean. He write um down on top one roll up papyrus kine paypa, an put dat paypa inside da Tent in front Da One In Charge. Den Samuel tell da peopo go back home.

26 Saul go home too, Gibeah side. Some strong guys dat know how fo fight go wit him, cuz God wen take ova dem an make dem like fo help Saul.

27 But had some mean buggahs wit attitude. Dey tell, “No way dis guy goin get us outa trouble!” An dey ack jalike Saul junk, an dey no bring present fo him notting. But Saul no say notting.

11

Saul Get Da Jabesh Peopo Outa Trouble

1 Had one guy Nahash from Ammon, go Israel side an tell his army guys fo make camp all aroun Jabesh-Gilead town. All da Jabesh guys tell um, “Make one good deal fo us guys fo no fight, an fo dat we goin let you be oua boss.”

2 But Nahash from Ammon tell, “I goin make you guys one deal fo no fight wit you guys, but ony if I dig out da right side eyeball from all you guys fo all da Israel peopo come shame.”

3 Da older leadas from Jabesh tell him, “Give us guys seven days fo us sen messenja guys all ova da Israel land. If nobody come fo get us guys outa trouble, we goin give in to you guys.”

4 Wen da messenja guys come Gibeah town wea Saul stay, an tell da peopo wat kine deal Nahash stay make, all da Gibeah peopo start fo cry real loud. 5 Right den an dea, Saul come back from his fields wit da cows he use fo plow da groun, an he aks somebody, “Eh! Wassup?! Wassamatta wit da peopo? How come dey stay crying?” So da Gibeah peopo tell him da story, wat da guys from Jabesh wen tell.

6 Wen Saul hear dat, da Spirit from God take ova him wit powa, an he come real huhu. 7 He take two a da cows, kill um an cut um up, an sen messenja guys fo carry da pieces a cow meat all ova da Israel land. He tell, “Anybody dat no go fight fo Saul an Samuel, az wat we goin do to dea cows!” Den da peopo come real sked a Da One In Charge, an dey all come togedda jalike dey ony one guy. 8 Wen Saul bring dem togedda Bezek side fo make ready fo fight, get three hundred tousan Israel guys from da north side, an thirty tousan Judah guys from da south side.

9 Dey tell da Jabesh messenja guys dat come by Saul, “Tell dose guys from Jabesh-Gilead dis: ‘Befo da sun come hot tomorra, we awready goin get you guys outa trouble.’ ” Wen da messenja guys go back an tell dat to da Jabesh peopo, da peopo stay feel good inside.

10 Dey tell da Ammon guys, “Tomorra we goin give in to you guys, an you guys can do wateva you like wit us.”

11 Befo da sun come up da nex day, Saul split his guys fo make three armies. Wen still nite time, befo come light even litto bit, dey broke inside da Ammon guys camp, an kill dem till da day come hot. An da Ammon guys dat still stay alive, dey scatta dem all ova da place fo no find even two Ammon guys togedda.

13 But Saul tell, “You guys not goin kill nobody today! Cuz today, Da One In Charge, az da One get us Israel peopo outa trouble!”

14 Den Samuel tell da peopo, “Go come. We go Gilgal, an ova dea we goin tell one mo time dat Saul goin be da king!” 15 So all da peopo go Gilgal town, an make Saul da king ova dea in front Da One In Charge. Gilgal was da place wea dey make da kine sacrifice in front Da One In Charge fo show dat Da One In Charge an da peopo stay tight wit each odda. An ova dea, Saul an all da Israel peopo make one big party, an dey feel real good inside.

Me?! Now I makule awready wit gray hair. An my boys, dey still stay hea wit you guys. From da time I was one young guy till now, I da one wen stay in front you fo be yoa leada. 3 I stan hea right now, in front Da One In Charge an da guy dat Da One In Charge wen pick fo be da king. If anybody get someting fo tell, okay fo dem poin finga me right now. I wen rip off somebody cow, o wat?! O somebody donkey? I wen scam somebody? I wen put presha on somebody?

4 So dey tell um, “You neva scam us guys o put presha on us guys. You neva take notting from nobody!”

5 Samuel tell um, “An I neva do notting lidat. Today, Da One In Charge know all dat, an da king he wen pick, he know all dat too. An if bumbye you guys poin finga me, dey goin tell dat dey know you guys wrong!”

Da peopo tell, “Yeah, fo shua! Da One In Charge an da King goin grumble bout us guys!”

6 ✡Den Samuel tell da peopo, “Da One In Charge, az da One dat wen pick Moses an Aaron, an wen bring yoa ancesta guys hea, outa da Egypt land. 7 So, stan up right hea in front God da judge. Cuz I goin ack jalike one lawya guy in front Da One In Charge, fo show proof dat Da One In Charge wen do da right tings fo you guys an yoa ancesta guys we he get you guys outa trouble.

8 ✡“Afta Jacob go Egypt side, yoa ancesta guys wen call Da One In Charge fo help dem. He sen Moses an Aaron, an dey bring da peopo outa Egypt, an let dem live inside dis land.

9 ✡“But dey wen foget dea God, Da One In Charge! Az why jalike he wen sell dem out to Sisera, da main guy in charge a da Hazor army guys. An jalike he wen sell dem out to da Filisha guys an da Moab king. All dem fight da Israel guys. 10 ✡Yoa ancesta guys wen yell to Da One In Charge, an tell, ‘We wen do bad kine stuff! We wen bag from you, Da One In Charge, an work fo da Baal gods an da Ashtoret gods! But now, Da One In Charge, get us outa trouble from da guys dat hate us! Den we goin work ony fo you!’ 11 ✡Den Da One In Charge sen Jerub-Baal, Barak, an Jeftah. He sen me too, Samuel. An he get you guys outa trouble from da peopo all aroun you guys dat hate you. Az why now, you stay alive an nobody goin touch you.

12 ✡“But wen you guys see dat Nahash, da king fo da Ammon peopo, come agains you guys, you tell me, ‘No way we goin wait fo Da One In Charge do someting! We like one king fo be oua leada,’ no matta you guys get yoa God, Da One In Charge, fo yoa king. 13 So, look! Dis da king you guys wen pick, da one you guys aks fo. Look! Da One In Charge wen awready put one king ova you guys. 14 If you guys stay sked a Da One In Charge an work fo him, an lissen wat he tell you, an no go agains wat he tell you guys fo do, den not jus you guys, but da king dat stay ova you guys too, goin stay tight wit yoa God, Da One In Charge! 15 But, if you guys no lissen wat Da One In Charge tell, an go agains wat he tell you guys fo do, he goin go agains you guys, jalike he wen go agains yoa ancesta guys.

16 “Now, stan dea an watch da big ting Da One In Charge goin do in front you guys! 17 You guys know dat da time fo harves da wheat stay now, an no mo rain dis time. But today, I goin aks Da One In Charge fo sen thunda an rain. I like you guys see dat, an know az real bad wen you guys aks fo one king, cuz az da way Da One In Charge see um too!”

18 Den Samuel pray to Da One In Charge, an dat same day Da One In Charge sen thunda an rain. So den, all da peopo come plenny sked a Da One In Charge an Samuel.

19 All da peopo tell Samuel, “Pray to yoa God, Da One In Charge, fo us guys, cuz you da boss fo us guys. Pray fo us no mahke. Cuz now, we wen do even mo bad kine stuff den befo time cuz we wen aks fo one king.”

20 Samuel tell um, “No sked! Fo shua, you guys wen do all dis bad kine stuff. But no bag from Da One In Charge cuz a dat. Go all out fo work fo him! 21 Mo betta hang in dea wit Da One In Charge. No go wit da idol kine gods cuz dey no mo notting inside! Dey no can do notting good fo you guys. Dey no can get you guys outa trouble cuz dey notting. 22 Da One In Charge no goin leave you guys! Cuz he awready make up his mind fo make you guys come his peopo. An he no goin jam up his good rep. 23 An me, if I wen no pray fo you guys, fo shua az one bad kine ting I wen do agains Da One In Charge. Az why fo shua I goin stay pray fo you guys! An I goin teach you guys da way dat stay good an right. 24 But make shua you guys stay sked a Da One In Charge an show um plenny respeck, an go all out fo work fo him fo real kine. Tink bout all da big kine tings he wen do fo you guys. 25 But if you guys still do bad kine stuff, he goin take away you guys an yoa king.”

13

Samuel Poin Finga Saul

1 Saul stay thirty year ol wen he come king fo da Israel peopo, an he stay king fo forty-two year.

2 Saul pick three tousan guys from Israel fo be army guys. Two tousan guys stay wit him Mikmash side an up country Bethel side. One tousan guys stay wit Jonathan, Gibeah side, inside da Benjamin land. An Saul sen home da odda guys he neva pick.

3 Jonathan dem attack da Filisha army camp Geba side an da odda Filisha army guys hear bout um. Den Saul tell, “Blow da sheep horn trumpet all ova da land, an tell, ‘All you Hebrew peopo, lissen, aah?!’ ” 4 So all da Israel peopo wen hear dis: “Saul wen attack da Filisha army camp, an now da Filisha guys hate us Israel guys even moa!”

So Saul call his army guys fo come togedda wit him Gilgal side.

5 Da Filisha guys come togedda too fo fight da Israel guys, wit three tousan war wagon, six tousan guys dat ride horse, an choke plenny infantry guys, jalike da sand on top da beach. Dey go up an make camp Mikmash side, from Bet-Aven on da east side. 6 Wen da Israel guys see az goin be bad fo dem, an dat da Israel army get plenny presha, dey lose fight an dey go hide inside da caves an bushes, inside da cracks in da cliffs, an inside holes cut in da rocks an pukas fo watta. 7 Some Israel guys even run away across da Jordan Riva an go inside da Gad an Gilead land.

Saul stay Gilgal side still yet, an all his army guys dat neva run away stay shake cuz dey real sked. 8 ✡He wait seven days, cuz dass da time Samuel tell him he goin come. But Samuel neva show up Gilgal side. So Saul guys start fo scatta.

9 Az why Saul tell um, “Bring me da animals fo da burn up kine sacrifice, an fo da kine sacrifice dat show dat da peopo an God stay tight wit each odda.” Den Saul make da burn up kine sacrifice. 10 Same time wen he pau make da sacrifice, Samuel show up! Saul go outside fo meet him an tell um aloha.

11 Samuel tell, “Eh! Wat you wen do?!”

Saul tell, “Wen I see oua army guys stay scatta all ova da place, an you neva come yet like you wen tell you goin do, an da Filisha guys stay come togedda Mikmash side, 12 I tink, ‘Da Filisha guys goin come down agains me Gilgal side, an I neva yet aks Da One In Charge fo help us.’ So I know I not one pries, but I figga, az gotta be me, dat go an make da burn up kine sacrifice, right now!”

13 Samuel tell Saul, “Bummahs! You wen ack stupid! You neva lissen an do wat yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen tell you fo do! If you wen do wat Da One In Charge tell, den he make you come da ancesta awready fo da kings ova da Israel peopo, foeva. But, you neva do um! 14 ✡So dass why you no goin be da ancesta fo da king guys! Da One In Charge stay look fo one guy dat tink an do stuff jalike him, an he pick dat guy awready fo come da leada fo his peopo, cuz you no do wat Da One In Charge tell you fo do!”

15 Den Samuel go way from Gilgal, an go Gibeah side, inside da Benjamin land. An Saul count his guys dat still stay wit him. Get bout six hundred guys.

Da Israel Guys No Mo Notting
Fo Use Fo Fight

16 Saul, his boy Jonathan, an da guys dat still stay wit dem, stay Gibeah town inside da Benjamin land, an da Filisha guys stay inside dea camp Mikmash side. 17 Da Filisha guys sen out three bunch army guys fo fight. One bunch go north fo go Ofrah town nea Shual, 18 Anodda bunch guys go west Bet-Horon side, an da odda bunch go up country by da edge a da land wea you look down an see da Zeboim Valley wit da boonies da odda side.

19 Dat time, all ova da Israel land neva have blacksmith fo shape iron. Cuz da Filisha guys figga, “No good da Hebrew guys go make sword o spear!” 20 So all dat time, all da Israel peopo gotta go down Filisha side fo da Filisha guys make sharp dea hoe, da metal part fo dea plow, dea pick, an dea ax. 21 Dey gotta pay 2/3 ounce silva fo make sharp one hoe o da metal part fo one plow, an 1/3 ounce silva fo make sharp one pitchfork, one pick, o da sharp part a da stick dey use fo poke da cow dat stay pull da plow.

22 An dass how come, wen da day come fo fight, no mo nobody wit Saul an Jonathan get sword o spear. Ony Saul an his boy Jonathan get um.

Jonathan Go Afta Da Filisha Guys

23 Had some Filisha army guys wen go make camp by da pass ova da hills Mikmash side.

14

Jonathan Make Plan

1 So one day Jonathan, Saul boy, tell da young guy dat carry his stuff fo fight, “Eh! We go ova dea an attack da Filisha army guys da odda side dis stream.” But Jonathan neva tell his faddah.

2 Dat time, Saul stay Migron town on da borda wit Gibeah, an make camp unda one pomagram tree. He get bout six hundred army guys ova dea wit him. 3 Ahijah stay wit dem too. His faddah was Ikabod braddah Ahitub, an his granfaddah was Finehas, Eli boy (dass da Eli guy dat befo time was Da One In Charge pries guy Shiloh town). Now, Ahijah, he da pries guy dat wear da spesho kine ves cuz he da Main Pries Guy.

No mo nobody know dat Jonathan wen go way from dea awready.

4 On da two sides a da pass wea Jonathan gotta go across fo attack da Filisha army guys, get one cliff. Da cliff one side a da pass get da name Bozez, an da cliff da odda side, Senneh. 5 You look in front you, from da north side cliff, get Mikmash down dea, an you look in front you, from da south side cliff, get Geba down dea.

6 Jonathan tell da young guy dat carry his stuff fo fight, “Go come, we go ova da pass by wea dose guys stay dat neva cut skin jalike God peopo. Maybe Da One In Charge go do someting fo help me an you. Da One In Charge goin win, no matta he get plenny guys o litto bit guys.”

7 His helpa guy tell um, “Do eryting you tink fo do. I stay tight wit you an ready fo go all out.”

8 Jonathan tell, “Kay den! We go ova dea nea da guys an let dem see us. 9 If dey tell us, ‘Okay, wait dea till we come by you guys,’ we goin stay wea we stay now, an no go up dea by dem. 10 But if dey tell, ‘Okay, come up hea by us guys,’ we goin go up, cuz dat goin be da sign dat show us dat Da One In Charge stay give dem to us guys.”

11 So da two a dem let da Filisha army guys see um. Da Filisha guys tell, “Eh! Look! Get Hebrew guys stay come outa da hole wea dey stay hide!” 12 Da Filisha army guys yell to Jonathan an his helpa guy, “Go come up hea by us guys! We like teach you guys someting!”

So Jonathan tell his helpa, “Go come up afta me. Da One In Charge give dem to us Israel guys awready!”

13 Jonathan use his hands an feets fo climb up, an his helpa guy climb right in back a him. Jonathan wack da Filisha guys an dey fall down in front him. Den his helpa guy come afta an kill um all. 14 Az was da firs time da Israel guys attack da Filisha guys.

Da Israel Guys Win Ova Da Filisha Guys

15 Den all da odda Filisha army guys come real sked an shaking—da guys inside da camp an on top da level groun inside da valley, da small kine camps outside da main camp, an da bunches a army guys dat go out fo fight. Den, da groun shake! God da One dat make dem come even mo sked.

20 Den Saul an all his army guys come togedda fo fight. Dey find da Filisha guys all pupule—dey stay fight each odda wit dea swords! 21 Had Israel guys dat befo time wen go along wit da Filisha guys, an go up wit dem by dea camp. But now, dey turn aroun an go ova by da Israel guys dat stay wit Saul an Jonathan. 22 Wen all da Israel guys dat stay hide inside da up country Efraim side hear dat da Filisha guys stay run away, dey come fo fight too an chase da Filisha guys fas. 23 Dass how Da One In Charge get all da Israel guys outa trouble dat time. Dey fight all da way to Bet-Aven.

Jonathan Eat Da Honey

24 Dat same day, da Israel army guys get even mo presha, cuz Saul make dem make one strong promise to him. He tell, “I goin put one kahuna on top anybody dat go eat food today! Cuz firs, I gotta pay back da buggahs dat stay agains me befo da sun go down! Afta dat, den you can eat.” Az why nobody eat notting dat day cuz was kapu.

25 All da army guys go inside da fores, wea had some honey on top da groun. 26 Wen dey go inside da fores, dey spock da honey stay coming out, but nobody like touch um an eat um cuz dey sked a da kapu. 27 But Jonathan neva hear da kine kahuna dat his faddah wen put on top da army guys. He poke his stick fo walk inside da honey place. He eat some honey, an he smile cuz make him feel real good. 28 One a da army guys tell um, “Yoa faddah make us army guys make one strong promise. He tell, ‘I goin put one kahuna on top anybody dat go eat food today! Cuz firs, I gotta pay back da buggahs dat stay agains me! An I goin pay um back befo da sun go down!

If dey wen eat, den we can kill even mo plenny Filisha guys!”

31 Dat time, afta da Israel guys wack da Filisha guys all da way from Mikmas to Aijalon, da Israel guys come plenny wasted.

32 Dey now jump on top da Filisha guys stuffs, an take da sheeps, da cows, an da bebe cows. Dey kill da animals on top da groun, an eat um, but dey neva get rid a all da blood jalike dey suppose to. 33 ✡Den somebody tell Saul, “Look!

Saul tell, “Da way you guys ack, no can trus you guys notting! Roll one big stone ova hea by me, right now!” 34 Den he tell, “Go out ery place da guys stay. Tell dem, ‘Erybody bring yoa cows an sheeps an goats ova hea by me, an kill um on top dis stone. Den you can eat um. No go do bad kine stuff agains Da One In Charge, an go eat da meat wit da blood still yet inside um.’ ”

Az why dat nite, erybody bring dea cow an kill um on top da big stone ova dea 35 dat Saul use fo one altar fo Da One In Charge. Az da firs time he make lidat.

36 Den Saul tell, “Nex, nite time, we go down by da Filisha guys, an attack dem till come light tomorra, an make shua nobody stay alive!”

Dey tell, “Do wateva you tink good. We go do um!”

But da pries guy tell, “Good us go by Da One In Charge ova hea.”

37 So Saul aks God, “You tink dass okay if I go down dea afta da Filisha guys, o wat? You goin make us Israel guys win, o wat?” But God no tell him notting dat time.

38 Az why Saul tell, “All you main leada guys fo da army, come ova hea by me. Go find out wat bad ting we wen do today. 39 Fo shua, Da One In Charge stay alive, da one stay get us guys outa trouble. An fo shua too, no matta who wen do da bad ting, even if was my boy Jonathan wen do um, dey gotta mahke.” But nobody from all da army guys tell um notting.

40 Den Saul tell da Israel guys, “You guys stan ova dea. Me an my boy Jonathan goin stan ova hea.”

Da guys tell, “Watevas you tink stay good, do um awready.”

41 ✡Den Saul pray to Da One In Charge, “You, da God fo da Israel peopo! Show who neva do notting bad, an who wen do someting bad!” Den dey pull straw, an Jonathan an Saul get da blame, an da army guys stay good. 42 Saul tell, “We go pull straw one mo time fo pick me o my boy Jonathan.” An so, was Jonathan dat get da blame.

43 Den Saul aks Jonathan, “Wat you wen do?!”

So Jonathan tell him, “I ony taste litto bit honey dat stay on top my stick fo walk, on da end. So jus cuz a dat, I gotta mahke, o wat?!”

44 Saul tell, “You gotta mahke, Jonathan, o God goin pay me back plenny moa!”

45 But da army guys tell Saul, “Wat you mean, Jonathan gotta mahke?! No way! He da one wen get us Israel guys outa trouble from da Filisha guys, big time! Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, us guys stay shua too, dat not even one hair from Jonathan head goin fall on top da groun. Cuz God wen help Jonathan get all us guys outa trouble today!” So dass how da army guys get Jonathan outa trouble fo him no mahke.

46 Den Saul pau go afta da Filisha guys, an he go home. An da Filisha guys go back dea land.

47 Afta Saul take ova an come da king fo da Israel peopo, he fight da peopos dat live all aroun dem, an dat stay agains da Israel peopo: da Moab peopo, da Ammon ohana peopo, da Edom peopo, da Zobah kings, an da Filisha peopo.

So den, you gotta lissen eryting Da One In Charge tell. 2 ✡Dis, da message from Da One In Charge, da Boss Ova All Da Armies: ‘I goin go afta da Amalek peopo an punish dem, cuz a wat dey wen do to da Israel peopo, da time da Israel peopo wen come outa Egypt.

He wipe out all da Agag peopo wit swords, jalike dey was one sacrifice fo God. 9 But Saul an his army guys let Agag stay alive. An he let his guys keep eryting dat stay good: all da bestes kine sheeps an cows, da cows dey feed spesho kine, an da bebe sheeps. Dey neva like kill all dose animals jalike dey one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge. Dey kill ony da animals dey no like an figga az worth notting. An dey tell, “We stay do dis cuz God tell us fo do um.”

Da One In Charge No Like Saul Be Da King No Moa

10 Den Da One In Charge give Samuel dis message, 11 “I stay sorry dat I wen make Saul come da king, cuz he make deaf ear an he no stay tight wit me no moa, an he no do no mo all da stuff I wen tell him fo do.” Wat Da One In Charge tell, bodda Samuel so plenny dat he pray all nite to Da One In Charge fo help.

12 Da nex morning early, Samuel get up fo go meet Saul. But da peopo tell, “Saul go Carmel town awready. An you know wat? Ova dea Saul awready wen put up one pile rocks fo erybody no foget dat he da one wen wipe out da Amalek peopo. Den he go da odda way, Gilgal side.”

13 Samuel go from dea, an wen he catch up Saul, Saul tell, “I like Da One In Charge do good kine stuff fo you! I wen do eryting Da One In Charge wen tell me fo do, aah?!”

14 But Samuel tell, “Den how come I hear all dem sheeps an cows stay making noise?!” 15 Saul tell, “Da army guys wen bring um from da Amalek peopo. Dey let da bestes kine sheeps an cows stay alive, fo make sacrifice fo yoa God, Da One In Charge. But we wipe out all da oddas cuz dass wat we suppose to do fo Da One In Charge.”

16 So Samuel tell, “Stop! No talk no moa! Cuz I goin tell you wat Da One In Charge wen tell me las nite.”

Saul tell, “Shoots, brah! Wat he tell?”

17 Samuel tell, “Had one time, you neva tink you was importan, aah? Den you come da main guy ova all da twelve Israel ohanas, cuz Da One In Charge wen pick you fo come da King Fo Da Israel Peopo. 18 An he give you one job fo do. He tell, ‘Go wipe out all dose Amalek peopo fo me. Cuz dey stay do real bad kine stuff, az why. Make war agains dem till you wipe um all out.’ 19 How come you no lissen wat Da One In Charge tell?! How come you jump all ova da Amalek peopo stuffs fo rip um off?! Da way Da One In Charge see um, az bad, da ting you wen do!”

20 Saul tell, “Not! I wen lissen Da One In Charge! I do how he tell me fo do. I wipe out all da Amalek peopo jalike I suppose to do fo Da One In Charge. An I catch Agag dea king an make him one prisona. 21 Da army guys wen take da sheeps an da cows from all da stuffs. Dey bring da bestes ones. No can use um fo no odda ting cuz gotta total um. Dey ony fo make sacrifice fo yoa God, Da One In Charge, ova hea by Gilgal side.”

22 But Samuel tell:

“You tink dat Da One In Charge feel mo good inside

Wen you make all da diffren kine sacrifice,

O wen you lissen him?!

Wen you lissen, dass mo betta

Den wen you make one sacrifice!

23 Cuz anybody dat go agains Da One In Charge, az bad,

Jalike if dey aks da fortune tella guys wat goin happen,

An anybody dat no do how dea boss tell um fo do, az wrong awready,

Jalike if dey go down in front da idol kine gods.

You! Cuz you tell ‘Laytas’ to wat Da One In Charge tell you fo do,

Az why he tell ‘Laytas’ to you! You no goin stay king no moa!”

24 Den Saul tell Samuel, “I wen do one bad ting, aah?! I go agains wat Da One In Charge tell me, an wat you tell me. Cuz I sked da army guys, so I do wat dey tell me fo do. 25 Now, try let me go! I wen do one bad ting. Go come back wit me fo me show love an respeck fo Da One In Charge.”

26 But Samuel tell him, “Eh! I not goin go back wit you. You no lissen wat Da One In Charge tell you fo do. Az why Da One In Charge tell ‘Laytas’ to you. You no goin stay da king fo da Israel peopo no moa.”

27 ✡Samuel turn aroun fo go. Saul grab his robe, an one piece a da robe broke off. 28 Samuel tell him, “You see?! Da One In Charge stay broke off da Israel peopo from you today, so you not dea king no moa. He goin give dem to anodda king dass jalike you, but dis guy mo betta den you. 29 An da God fo da Israel peopo, dat stay awesome foeva, he no bulai nobody. He not one guy jalike us dat tell he goin do someting, an den he no do um.”

30 Saul tell, “I wen do one bad ting. But now, try show respeck fo me an no make me come shame in front da older leada guys, an in front da odda Israel peopo. Go come back wit me fo me show love an respeck fo Da One In Charge, yoa God.” 31 So Samuel go back wit Saul, an Saul show love an respeck fo Da One In Charge.

32 Den Samuel tell, “Bring me Agag, da king fo da Amalek peopo.”

Da army guys bring Agag in front Samuel. Agag stay good inside, cuz he figga, “Fo shua dey no goin kill me now.”

33 But Samuel tell,

“Jalike you wen use yoa sword so dat da wahines no mo dea kids,

Now, yoa muddah goin come one a da wahines dat no mo kids.”

So Samuel wack Agag wit his sword an chop um up, right dea in front Da One In Charge, Gilgal side.

34 Den Samuel go his place Ramah side. But Saul go his place inside Gibeah. 35 Till wen Samuel mahke, he no go see Saul no moa. But Samuel stay sad inside cuz a Saul. An Da One In Charge stay sorry dat he wen make Saul da king fo da Israel peopo.

16

1 Da One In Charge tell Samuel, “You goin stay sad inside all da time cuz a Saul, o wat?! I tell ‘Laytas’ to him fo no be da king fo da Israel peopo no moa. Fill up yoa cow horn bottle wit olive oil, an go; I goin sen you by Jesse, da Betlehem guy. I wen awready pick one a his boys fo come da nex king fo me.”

Dass da time I goin tell you wat fo do. I goin tell you pour olive oil on top one guy fo show he da one I wen pick!”

5 Samuel tell, “Yeah, eryting good. I ony come fo make one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge. All you leada guys, make ready fo come in front Da One In Charge too.

6 Wen dey come, Samuel see Jesse boy Eliab, an figga, “Fo shua! Dis da guy dat stan hea in front Da One In Charge. He da one Da One In Charge wen pick fo come da king!”

7 But Da One In Charge tell Samuel, “No ways! No look da outside, how he look o how tall he stay. Cuz I no goin pick him. I no look fo da tings dat peopo like see. Peopo ony look wat stay da outside a peopo. But me, Da One In Charge, I look wat stay inside da peopo.”

8 Nex, Jesse call Abinadab, an tell him fo walk in front Samuel. But Samuel tell, “Da One In Charge no pick dis one too.” 9 Den Jesse tell Shammah fo walk in front Samuel. But Samuel tell, “Still yet, Da One In Charge no pick dis one.” 10 Jesse tell all seven a his boys fo walk in front Samuel. But Samuel tell, “Same ting. Da One In Charge no pick dem!” 11 So he aks Jesse, “Az all da boys you get, o wat?”

An Jesse tell um, “Get one moa, da mos young boy David. But now, he stay take kea da sheeps.”

Samuel tell, “Sen somebody fo bring him ova hea. We no goin do notting till he come!”

12 So Jesse sen somebody fo bring David dea. David stay healthy, get one good tan an nice kine eyes. He real good looking.

Den Da One In Charge tell Samuel, “Quick! Pour da oil on top him cuz him he da one!”

13 So Samuel take da cow horn bottle wit oil inside, an pour um on top David, wit his braddah guys all aroun. Right den an dea, da Spirit from Da One In Charge take ova David, so from dat time he stay get da powa from Da One In Charge. Den Samuel go back home Ramah side.

1 Da Filisha guys tell dea army guys come togedda fo fight. Dey go Sokoh inside da Judah land, an make camp Efes Dammim side, wit Sokoh dis side an Azekah da odda side. 2 Saul an da Israel guys come togedda an make camp inside da Elah Valley. Dey make ready dea guys inside one line fo fight da Filisha guys. 3 Da Filisha guys stay on top one hill, an da Israel guys on top anodda hill, an get one stream in da middo.

You ony do da work dat Saul give you, aah?! So den, go pick one a yoa guys an make him come ova hea by me! 9 If yoa guy fight me an kill me, den us guys goin come yoa slave. But if I win an kill yoa guy, den you guys goin come oua slave an work fo us guys.” 10 Den he tell, “Today, I goin make you Israel guys come shame! Give me one a da guys dat stay all line up ova dea yoa side fo me an him fight awready!” 11 Saul an all da Israel guys hear eryting da Filisha guy tell, an dey lose fight an stay real sked.

12 David, he Jesse boy. Jesse, from Efratah (dass da ol name fo Betlehem town inside Judah, you know). Jesse get eight boys. He real ol wen Saul stay king. 13 Jesse three boys dat da mos ol, Eliab, Abinadab, an Shammah, dey wen go wit Saul fo fight da Filisha guys. 14 David, he da mos young.

Check out yoa braddahs fo me an make shua eryting stay good wit dem, an bring back someting fo show me how dey stay. 19 Dey stay wit Saul an all da Israel guys inside da Elah Valley fo fight da Filisha guys.”

20 Early morning time, David wen leave his sheeps wit anodda guy fo take kea a dem. He load up his stuffs, an start fo go jalike his faddah Jesse wen tell um fo do. Wen he come jus outside da camp, da army guys stay go out to da place wea dey goin line up fo fight. Dey stay yell fo fight. 21 Da Israel guys an da Filisha guys stay make dea lines ready fo attack each odda. 22 David leave da stuff he bring wit da guy dat suppose to watch erybody stuffs, an he run by da place wea da army guys line up fo aks his braddahs if eryting stay good. 23 Wen he stay talk wit dem, right den an dea, Goliat, da Filisha guy from Gat, come out from da Filisha guys line to da middo. An he yell to da Israel guys wat he erytime tell. Dis time David hear um. 24 Wen da Israel guys see Goliat, dey come real sked an dey all pull back from him.

25 Da Israel guys stay tell, “You see! Erytime dis guy come out to da middo! He come up dis way fo talk big jus fo make us Israel guys come shame! But you know, oua king goin give plenny rich kine stuff to da guy dat kill Goliat. An he goin give da guy his daughtah fo marry. He even goin make um so da guy ohana no gotta pay tax no mo inside Israel.”

26 David aks some odda guys dat stan nea him da same ting, “Eh! Wat dey goin do fo da guy dat kill dis Filisha guy an hemo da shame fo da Israel peopo? Us guys, da army fo da God dat stay alive fo real kine! Who dis Filisha guy tink him?! He no mo God cut skin mark! He ony ack big fo try make us Israel guys come shame, aah?!”

27 Da army guys tell David one mo time wat dey tell um da firs time. Wen dey pau, dey tell, “Az how da king goin do fo da guy dat kill Goliat.”

28 Wen Eliab, David mos older braddah, hear him stay talking to da army guys, he come real piss off wit David. He tell, “How come you come down hea? You ony had litto bit sheeps fo watch. Who you wen leave um wit inside da boonies? You get one big head an you no do wat you suppose to do! Erytime you tink bad kine stuff. You come down hea ony fo see da fight!”

29 David tell, “Wat I wen do? I jus wen aks one question, you know!” 30 Den David turn fo talk wit anodda army guy, an aks da same ting, an dat guy tell him da same ting jalike da odda guys.

31 Somebody hear wat David tell, an go tell Saul. An Saul tell David fo come see him. 32 David tell Saul, “No good erybody lose fight cuz a dis Filisha guy. I work fo you, az why I goin fight um.”

33 Saul tell um, “You no can go fight dis Filisha guy! You ony one young kid, an he one real good army fighta, from da time he one boy.”

34 But David tell Saul, “I work fo you, but I take kea da sheeps fo my faddah too. Any time one lion o one bear come out an carry away one sheep from da oddas, 35 I go afta um, an wack um. Den I get da sheep outa dea mout. An wen da lion o bear go afta me, I grab um by da chin hair, wack um one mo time, an kill um. 36 Eh, Boss! I wen kill da lion an da bear too. Dis Filisha guy dat no mo da cut skin mark fo show he God guy, he goin be jalike da lion an da bear, cuz he talk big agains oua army dat fight fo da God dat stay alive fo real kine. 37 Da One In Charge, he da One wen get me outa da lion an da bear powa, an he goin get me outa dis Filisha guy powa too!”

So Saul tell David, “Go awready! Da One In Charge goin stay wit you.”

38 So den, Saul put his clotheses fo war on top David, an one bronze helmet on top his head. He make um wear da kine body armor dey make wit plenny small piece bronze metal, put togedda jalike fish scale. 39 David put da sword ova da body armor, an try fo walk aroun, cuz he neva wear um befo time.

He tell Saul, “I no can wear dese cuz I neva wear um befoa.” Az why he take um off.

40 Den David pick up his stick, go down to da stream, an he pick up five smooth stones from dea, put um inside his bag dat he use wen he take kea da sheeps. He get his sling inside his hand fo throw da stone. Den he go nea da Filisha guy.

41 Same time, Goliat da Filisha guy an da guy dat carry his shield stay come mo an mo nea David. 42 Goliat check out David. He see dat he ony one boy, healthy an good looking. Goliat figga, “Poho! Dis kid, wase my time!” 43 He amp up an tell David, “Wot?! You tink I ony one dog, o wat?! Az why you come afta me wit one stick, aah?!” Den Goliat tell his Filisha kine gods fo do all kine bad stuff to David. 44 Goliat tell David, “Go come mo close ova hea! Fo me give yoa mahke body to da birds an da wild animals fo dem eat um!”

45 David tell Goliat, da Filisha guy, “You! You stay come agains me wit one sword an wit one big spear fo poke an one small spear fo throw. But me, I come agains you cuz I know wat kine god Da One In Charge stay! He Da God Ova All Da Armies, da God dat da Israel army guys pray to. Him, da one you wen talk bad bout! 46 Today, Da One In Charge goin turn you ova to me. I goin bus you up, an cut off yoa head. I goin give da mahke bodies from all you Filisha army guys to da birds an da wild animals fo eat. Den da peopo all ova da world goin know dat us Israel guys get one God dass fo real kine! 47 All dese guys dat stay hea goin know dat Da One In Charge no need sword o spear fo get his peopo outa trouble. Cuz Da One In Charge da one goin win dis fight. He goin give us guys da powa fo win ova you guys!”

48 Right den an dea da Filisha guy start fo come even mo nea fo attack David. David move quick. He run fas to da Filisha army side fo fight Goliat. 49 David put his hand inside his bag an take out one stone. He put um inside da sling, spin um aroun fas, den let um go. An he wack Goliat in da middo a da forehead! Da stone go inside his head, an Goliat fall down an his face hit da groun.

50 ✡Az how David was mo strong den Goliat da Filisha guy. David use ony one sling an one stone. He no use one sword, but still yet he wack da Filisha guy fo try kill um.

51 ✡Den David run ova dea by Goliat body an stan dea. He grab Goliat sword from Goliat sword bag an kill him. Den he cut off Goliat head wit da sword.

Wen da Filisha guys see dat dea guy dat erytime win stay mahke, dey turn aroun an run away fas. 52 Den da Israel an Judah guys yell fo fight an start fo chase afta da Filisha guys all da way to Gat an to da Ekron town gates.

55 Befo dat, wen David stay go out fo fight da Filisha guy, Saul watch David, an aks General Abner, “Eh, Abner! Who dat boy faddah?”

Abner tell, “Eh, garans, I donno!”

56 Da king tell, “Go aks somebody. Find out who da faddah fo dis kid!”

1 Afta David pau talk wit Saul, Saul boy Jonathan come tight wit David cuz dey get da same kine heart an head. He get love an aloha fo David da same way Jonathan get fo him. 2 From dat time, Saul like David fo stay wit him, an he no let David go back his faddah place. 3 Jonathan make one deal wit David cuz he get love an aloha fo David da same way he get fo him. 4 Jonathan take off da robe he stay wear, his body armor, an even his sword, his bow an arrows, an his army belt, an give um all to David.

5 Weneva Saul sen David fo fight, David win good. So Saul make David come one leada guy fo da army. All da army guys an Saul officer guys stay good inside bout dat.

6 Afta David come back from kill Goliat, da Filisha guy, wen all da army guys stay come back, da wahines come out from all da towns all ova Israel fo meet King Saul. An dey stay sing an dance. Dey stay good inside, an dey play tammorines an da three-string harp. 7 ✡Wen dey dance, dey sing one good fun kine song lidis:

An David wack down ten tousans an ten tousans a guys!”

8 Wen Saul hea dis, he come real huhu cuz he tink, “Az not good, wat dey sing!” He tink, “Dey tell dat David wen kill ten tousans an ten tousans a guys, an dey tell dat me, I ony kill tousans an tousans a guys. Nex, da peopo goin like make him come king!” 9 From dat time, Saul stay jealous a David, an watch um even mo close.

10 Da nex day, had one spirit from God dat was bad dat wen take ova Saul. Saul stay inside his house talking pupule kine. David play his harp, jalike erytime he stay do. Saul get one spear inside his hand. 11 He throw um at David. He tink, “I goin make da spear go thru David body an into da wall!” But David, two time he jump outa da way.

12 So now, Saul stay sked fo stay in front David, cuz he know dat Da One In Charge stay wit David an wen go way from Saul. 13 Az why he give David one job anodda place. He make David da leada fo one tousan army guys. An David go in front his army guys wen dey stay fight.

18 But David tell Saul, “Eh, I nobody, an my faddah ohana, not importan! No way I goin get you, da king, fo my faddah-in-law!” 19 But, wen da time come fo give Merab to David, Saul wen awready give her to Adriel from Meholah fo marry, an not to David.

20 But Saul odda girl Michal, she love David. Somebody tell Saul, an he tink “Az good!” 21 An he figga, “I goin give her to him. Dass how I goin trap um fo da Filisha guys get um!” So Saul tell David, “Now, you get anodda chance fo come my son-in-law!”

23 Az why da helpa guys go talk to David wen da odda peopo no can hear, an tell um wat da king wen tell. But David tell, “You guys tink, az one small kine ting fo marry one wahine from da king ohana, o wat? Cuz I ony one guy dat no mo notting, you know. An I not even importan!” 24 Den Saul helpa guys tell Saul wat David wen tell dem.

Dass how da king goin pay back da Filisha guys cuz dey stay agains him.’ ” Saul talk lidat cuz he make one plan fo let da Filisha guys kill David.

26 Saul helpa guys tell David wat Saul wen tell dem. David stay good fo marry one wahine from da king ohana.

Saul Try Fo Kill David

1 Saul tell his boy Jonathan an all his helpa guys fo kill David. But Jonathan get real plenny aloha fo David. 2 Az why he tell David, “Betta watch out, cuz my faddah Saul stay looking fo one chance fo kill you. Watch out tomorra morning! Go some place wea he no can find you an hide ova dea. 3 Me, I goin go out an stan wit my faddah in da country side, nea wea you stay. Den I goin tell someting to him bout you, an wateva I find out bout wat he goin do, I goin tell you, okay?”

4 Da nex day, Jonathan talk good bout David to his faddah Saul, an tell him, “You da king, so try no go do notting bad to David. Cuz he stay work fo you, an he neva do notting bad to you. An all da tings he do, help you plenny. 5 He almos wen mahke, da time he kill Goliat, da Filisha guy. Dat time, Da One In Charge get da Israel peopo outa trouble big time. You wen see wat happen, an you wen stay good inside cuz a dat. So, how come you like do dis bad kine ting to one guy like David dat neva do notting wrong?! An den, you like kill him an you no even know why!”

6 Saul lissen Jonathan, an make dis spesho promise: “Fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, an fo shua too I goin do wat I make one promise fo do. No mo nobody goin kill David!”

7 So layta, Jonathan wen go yell to David fo come. He tell David wat Saul wen tell. Den Jonathan bring David by Saul, an eryting come jalike was befo time, an David stay wit Saul.

8 One mo time get war wit da Filisha guys. David an his army guys go out fo fight dem. David dem wack um real hard, an dey all run away from him.

Dat same nite, David get outa dea an bag fo good.

11 ✡Saul sen watcha guys by David house fo watch him fo dem kill him morning time. But Michal, David wife, tell him, “If you no run away dis nite fo save yoa life, tomorra you mahke die dead!” 12 So Michal help David fo go down outa one window, an he run outa dea. 13 Den Michal take one a da small idol kine gods, an lay um on top da bed. She put one goat hair net wea da head stay, an cova da whole ting wit David clotheses.

14 Den, wen Saul tell his guys fo go bus David, Michal tell, “Sick. He stay sick.”

15 Den Saul tell da guys fo go back an check out David. He tell um, “Bring da bed by me wit him inside fo me kill um!” 16 But wen da guys go inside, ony get da idol kine god inside da bed, an get one goat hair net wea da head stay.

17 Laytas, Saul tell Michal, “How come you bulai me lidis, an let dis guy dat stay agains me run way from me, outa hea?!”

Michal tell um, “He wen tell me, ‘Get me outa hea! You like me fo kill you, o wat?!’ ”

18 Wen David get outa dea, he go by Samuel, Ramah side. David tell Samuel eryting dat Saul wen do to him. Den David an Samuel go Naiot side, an stay ova dea. 19 Somebody tell Saul, “You know wat? David stay Naiot side, inside da Ramah land!” 20 So Saul sen guys fo try bus David one mo time. Dey see plenny guys stay talking fo God, an Samuel stay standing dea by dem cuz he dea leada guy. Right den an dea, God Spirit go take ova Saul guys, an dey make jalike dey stay talk fo God too. 21 Somebody wen tell Saul bout dem, an Saul sen mo guys.

An he aks, “Samuel an David, wea dey stay?”

Somebody tell, “Ova dea Naiot side, inside da Ramah land.”

23 So Saul go Naiot. But same ting happen to him—God Spirit take ova Saul too wen he stay walk, an he talk fo God till he come Naiot town, Ramah side. 24 ✡Saul quick take off his clotheses dea jalike da odda guys, an he stay talk fo God in front Samuel. He lay dea naked all day an all nite. Az why da peopo tell, “Even Saul ack jalike one guy dat talk fo God too, aah?!”

20

David An Jonathan, Good Frenz

1 Den David run way from Naiot, inside da Ramah land, an go by Jonathan. He aks, “Wat I wen do? Wat kine crime Saul like bus me fo? Da way yoa faddah see me, jalike I wen do someting real bad agains him, cuz he stay look fo me fo kill me!”

2 Jonathan tell, “Not! No way you goin mahke! Look! Wen my faddah do anyting, big o small, he erytime tell me firs. So! Fo shua, he goin tell me if he like kill you!”

3 But David tell, “Yoa faddah know fo real kine dat you like me. So, he goin figga, ‘Az not good, wen Jonathan find out wat I goin do, cuz dat goin fo real kine bum Jonathan out.’

“But still yet, jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, an you stay alive, I stay shua bout dis too: I ony get litto mo time befo I goin mahke die dead!”

4 Jonathan tell David, “Wateva you tink, I goin do um fo you.”

5 ✡Az why David tell, “Look, tomorra goin get da spesho religious kine ceremony wen da New Moon show up, an I suppose to be dea fo eat wit da king. But you, I like you fo tell me I can go way. Den I goin go hide some place outside da town, till da day afta tomorra wen litto mo dark. 6 If yoa faddah look fo me an see dat I no stay, tell um, ‘David wen aks me fo let him go fo him run quick Betlehem side, da town wea his ohana stay. Cuz dey goin make one sacrifice ova dea dat dey make ery year fo all his ohana.’ 7 If he tell, ‘Shoots,’ den goin be good fo me, yoa worka guy. But if he come real huhu, den you goin know dat fo shua he goin hurt me. 8 But you da boss, so try make um good fo me. Cuz was you wen set um up fo me an you make one spesho deal togedda in front Da One In Charge. If I get da blame fo do someting wrong, mo betta you be da one dat kill me. But no be da one dat bring me by yoa faddah fo him kill me.”

9 Jonathan tell, “No way! If I wen know fo shua dat my faddah make up his mind fo do someting bad to you, den I goin tell you dat fo shua! But I not shua, aah?!”

10 David tell, “Who goin tell me if yoa faddah talk mean kine stuff to you?”

Jonathan An David Make One Plan

11 Jonathan tell, “Go come! Mo betta we get outa hea, an go outside anodda place fo talk.” So dey go ova dea togedda.

12 Den Jonathan tell David, “Fo shua Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, see me make dis promise. I goin aks my faddah bout dis, by da day afta tomorra, same time jalike now. If he good bout you, den fo shua I goin sen somebody fo tell you. 13 But maybe my faddah tink az good fo him hurt you. Den I like Da One In Charge punish me real good if I no let you know dat. An I goin sen you away some place wea you goin stay okay! I like Da One In Charge stay wit you, jalike he wen stay wit my faddah befo time. 14-15 ✡ If bumbye I still stay alive, try get one good heart fo me, jalike Da One In Charge get. But if I mahke, an even afta Da One In Charge wipe out from da earth all da peopo dat stay agains you, no go change yoa good heart fo my blood line eva!”

16 So Jonathan make one spesho deal wit da David ohana foeva. He tell, “I like Da One In Charge make all da peopo dat stay agains David pay fo da bad kine stuff dey do.” 17 An Jonathan tell David one mo time fo make dea spesho promise good, da one dat David wen make wit Jonathan befo time. Dass how Jonathan get love an aloha fo David, da same way David get love an aloha fo him.

18 Den Jonathan tell David, “Tomorra get da New Moon spesho kine religious kine ceremony. Dey goin know dat you no stay, cuz no mo nobody goin sit yoa place by da table. 19 Da day afta tomorra, wen litto mo ready fo da dark time come, go all da way down by da place wea you wen hide wen dis trouble start, an wait nea da pile up stone dat stay dea. 20 I goin shoot three arrows by da side a da stone, jalike I stay shoot one target. 21 Den I goin sen one boy, an tell um, ‘Go, find da arrows.’ If I tell um, ‘Look! Da arrows stay dis side a you. Bring um back hea,’ den you come, cuz dat goin mean dat jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, I stay shua az good fo you. No mo nobody goin hurt you. 22 But if I tell da boy, ‘Eh! da arrows stay mo far, da odda side a you!’ dat mean, you betta get outa hea, cuz Da One In Charge stay sen you away. 23 An bout da promise dat me an you wen talk bout, no foget, Da One In Charge da One dat know foeva, wat we wen tell.”

24 So David go hide outside da town. Wen da spesho religious kine ceremony fo da New Moon start, da king sit down fo eat. 25 He sit inside da place wea he erytime sit wit his back by da wall, across Jonathan. An Abner sit nex to Saul. But no mo nobody sit down David place. 26 Saul, he no tell notting dat time, cuz he tink, “Fo shua, someting happen fo make um so David no can go in front God fo one religious kine ceremony like today.” 27 But da nex day, da secon day fo da New Moon religious kine ceremony, David place one mo time stay empty, an nobody sit dea.

Den Saul aks Jonathan, “How come Jesse boy David no come fo eat wit me yestaday an today?!”

28 Jonathan tell, “David wen tell me fo let um go Betlehem. 29 He tell, ‘Try let me go home. Cuz oua ohana goin make one sacrifice inside oua home town, an my big braddah wen tell me I betta be dea. If you my fren, an tink good kine stuffs bout me, try help me, aah? jus let me go way dis short time fo see my ohana.’ Az why David neva come yoa table.”

30 Saul come real huhu wit Jonathan. Saul tell, “You no ack jalike my boy fo real kine! You all pupule jalike yoa muddah! Dass gotta be one hamajang wahine dat no lissen nobody! You tink I donno dat you wen pick Jesse boy fo come yoa bestes fren, o wat?! Wen you make um yoa fren, you make shame fo you an fo yoa muddah dat wen born you! 31 Cuz all da time Jesse boy stay alive, no way you can stay shua bout notting, an no way you goin be king! So now, tell one a yoa guys fo go grab da buggah an bring um hea by me cuz he gotta mahke!”

32 Jonathan tell his faddah, “David neva do notting wrong! How come he gotta mahke?! How come you like kill um?!” 33 Den Saul throw his spear at Jonathan fo try kill him, but Jonathan get outa da way. Dass wen Jonathan know fo shua dat his faddah make up his mind awready fo kill David.

34 Jonathan jump up from da table, all salty. He now stay real huhu. Dat day, da numba two New Moon day, he no eat notting. He stay sad inside bout David, cuz a da shame kine way his faddah wen ack.

35 Morning time, Jonathan go outside da town wea he goin meet David. Jonathan get one small boy wit him. 36 He tell da boy, “You go run ova dea, an find da arrows I goin shoot.” So wen da boy stay running, Jonathan shoot one arrow da far side a da boy. 37 Da boy go by da place wea Jonathan arrow go down, Jonathan yell to him, “Hui! Da arrow stay mo far away yet!” 38 Den Jonathan yell, “Quick! Hurry up! No stop!” So da boy pick up all da arrows, an come back by his boss. 39 Da boy donno notting bout wat stay happen. Ony Jonathan an David know. 40 Den Jonathan give his bow an arrows to da boy dat help um, an tell um, “Take um, an go back town side.”

41 Afta da boy go, David stan up from da south side a da rock pile. He go down in front Jonathan three time, an put his face on top da groun. Den dey kiss each odda an cry togedda. But David, he cry mo plenny.

42 Jonathan tell David, “Go! I like eryting stay good wit you. Az cuz me an you wen make one spesho promise to each odda fo stay frenz. An we aks Da One In Charge fo help us. We tell each odda, ‘Da One In Charge goin be da One dat know wat me an you stay do, an he know dat yoa ohana an my ohana goin stay frenz all da time.’ ”

Nob Side, Ahimelek Help David

Den David go way, an Jonathan go back inside da town.

21

1 ✡David, he come Nob side fo talk wit Ahimelek da pries guy. Ahimelek come sked an stay shake wen he meet David. He aks, “How come you stay by ony you? How come nobody stay wit you?”

2 David tell Ahimelek, “Da king wen sen me ova hea fo do someting. He tell me, ‘Nobody suppose to find out notting bout wat I stay sen you fo do. Nobody suppose to find out da stuff I wen tell you.’ My army guys, I tell dem awready fo meet me at one place. 3 Now, wat kine food you get ova hea? You get roun breads?

10 Den David pray lidis: “Da One In Charge, you da God fo da Israel peopo, an me, I yoa worka guy.

12 David aks, “Fo real den, da leada guys, goin turn me an my guys ova to Saul, o wat?”

Da One In Charge tell um, “Yeah! Dey goin turn you ova to Saul.”

13 Az why right den an dea, David an his guys, bout six hundred guys, go outa Keilah, an stay go from one place to anodda place, any place dass good fo dem go. Somebody tell Saul dat David wen get outa Keilah. Az why Saul neva go ova dea.

Saul Try Fo Catch David

14 David stay inside da boonies wea Saul no can attack um, on top da hills nea Zif town. Ery day, Saul go look fo him, but God neva let Saul grab David.

15 Wen David stay Horesh, still inside da boonies nea Zif town, he find out dat Saul dem wen come out fo find David fo kill um.

David Run Away From Saul

16 Saul boy Jonathan go by David Horesh side. He give David good words fo help David stay tight wit God an come strong. 17 Jonathan tell, “No sked! My faddah Saul get plenny powa, but he no goin find you. An you, you goin come da king fo da Israel peopo, an I goin come yoa numba one guy. Even my faddah Saul know az true.” 18 ✡So da two guys make one deal in front Da One In Charge. Afta dat Jonathan go his place, but David stay Horesh side.

19 ✡Get some Zif guys go by Saul, Gibeah side. Dey tell, “You know wat?! David stay hide nea us guys, inside da boonies, dass da strong kine places dass hard fo attack, Horesh side, on top da Hakilah hill, south from Jeshimon town. 20 So, King Saul, try come ova by us Zif guys weneva you like. Cuz we goin capcha da buggah an turn um ova to you.”

21 Saul tell, “I like Da One In Charge do good fo you guys cuz you kea bout me! 22 Go an make ready some moa. Find out wea David stay go erytime, wea he hang out, an who wen see him ova dea. Peopo tell me he one sly mongoose. 23 Find out bout all da place wea he go hide, an come back by me wen you know fo shua. Den I goin go wit you. If he stay ova dea, I goin track him down, no matta I gotta check out all da Judah ohanas!”

24 So da Zif guys go, den Saul go stay come. David an his guys, dey stay inside da boonies nea Maon town, wea da groun go down to da Arabah Valley, da south side a Jeshimon. 25 Saul an his guys go out fo try find David. Somebody go tell David bout dem, so David go mo down wea get one mangus rock, an he stay inside da boonies nea Maon town. Wen Saul hear dat, he go inside da boonies too nea Maon an chase afta David.

26 Get one time, Saul dem go by one side a one mountain, an David an his guys stay on top da odda side. Dey sked, so dey move real fas fo run away from Saul. But Saul an his guys stay come mo an mo nea David an his guys fo go all aroun dem fo catch dem. 27 But right den, one messenja guy come by Saul an tell um, “Go come quick! Da Filisha guys stay rip off da peopo inside oua land!” 28 Den Saul no chase David no moa, an go back fo fight da Filisha guys. Az why peopo call dat place Da Big Rock Inside Da Middo. 29 Den David go up country from dea, an stay inside da strong kine places dass hard fo attack nea Ein Gedi.

24

David Let Saul Stay Alive

1 Wen Saul come back from going afta da Filisha guys, real fas somebody tell him, “You know wat?! David stay inside da boonies up country from Ein Gedi town.” 2 So Saul pick da three tousan bestes guys from all da Israel army guys, an dey go look fo David an his guys nea da big high Wild Goat Rocks.

3 ✡He go by da sheep pens, up from da trail. Get one cave ova dea. Saul go inside fo make doodoo. Same time, inside dat same cave, David an his guys stay dea too, way far inside! 4 Da guys tell David, “Fo shua, now da time dat Da One In Charge talk bout wen he wen tell you, ‘I goin give you powa ova da guy dat stay agains you fo you make to him how you like.’ ” Den David go real quiet by Saul, an cut off one corna from Saul robe, an Saul neva even know.

5 But laytas, David feel all bum out inside, cuz he wen cut off one piece from Saul robe. 6 ✡David tell his guys, “Da One In Charge no like dat I wen make lidat to my boss, da one Da One In Charge wen pick fo come da king! Da One In Charge no like me do notting agains Saul, cuz he da one Da One In Charge wen pick!” 7 Az how David make shua his guys tink diffren den wat dey tell um da firs time, an no let dem attack Saul. Same time, Saul stan up an go outa da cave an go way.

8 Saul go on top da trail. An David go outside da cave, an yell to him, “Hui! My boss, da king!” Saul turn aroun an look behind at David. David go down an put his face on top da groun fo show respeck fo Saul. 9 He yell to Saul, “Hui! King Saul! You wen lissen wen peopo tell you I stay try fo hurt you. How come?! No lissen dem! 10 Today you da one wen see fo real kine az not true! Cuz Da One In Charge wen give me da powa fo hurt you ova dea, inside da cave. Some guys wen tell me fo kill you, but I neva. I wen tell um, ‘No way I goin wack my boss, cuz he da one dat Da One In Charge wen pick.’ 11 You, you jalike my faddah fo me! Look! You see dis piece from yoa robe, hea inside my hand?! I wen cut off da corna from yoa robe, but I no kill you. Az why you gotta know fo shua dat I no mo da blame fo do someting bad. I no go agains you. I no do notting wrong agains you, but you stay hunt me fo kill me. 12 I like Da One In Charge fo be da judge fo tell if you stay right, o I stay right! I like fo Da One In Charge pay you back fo da kine wrong stuff you stay do to me! But me, I no goin even touch you! 13 Jalike da smart peopo wen tell long time befo time, ‘From bad kine peopo come bad kine stuff!’ But I not one bad guy, an no way I goin do someting bad to you.

14 ✡“You Saul da Israel king. Who you stay make war agains?! Who you stay chasing?! Jalike I one mahke dog! Jalike I one uku! O wat?! 15 I like Da One In Charge be da judge fo tell if you stay right, o I stay right! He can tell who get da blame. I like him tink bout wat I stay do. I like him tell erybody dat I not da one fo get da blame, an you, Saul, an you no mo da powa ova me.”

16 Wen David pau talk lidat to Saul, Saul aks, “David, my boy, az yoa voice, o wat?” An Saul, he cry plenny, loud kine. 17 “You stay do da right ting, mo den me. You do good kine stuff fo pay me back, but I do bad kine stuff fo pay you back. 18 Jus now, you tell me bout da good kine ting you wen do fo me. Da One In Charge wen give me to you, but you no kill me. 19 Wen one guy find da guy dat stay agains him, he no let him get outa dea okay, eva. I like Da One In Charge do good to you fo wat wen happen today, cuz was good dat you neva kill me. 20 An now I know dat you goin come king fo shua, an dat you get da powa fo make da Israel peopo come one strong country. 21 Now make me one strong promise in front Da One In Charge, dat no way you goin cut off my ohana afta I mahke, o wipe out my name from my faddah blood line.”

22 Az why David make da strong promise to Saul. Den Saul go back his place, but David an his guys go back up inside da strong place fo hide wea nobody can hurt dem.

25

1 Wen Samuel mahke, all da Israel peopo come togedda, an come sad inside cuz he mahke. Dey bury him his place inside Ramah. Den David start fo move house south side fo go da Paran Boonies.

4 David stay inside da boonies, but he find out dat Nabal stay cut da wool from his sheeps. 5 So he pick ten young guys, an tell um, “Go up country Carmel side by Nabal. Wen you get dea, tell um you my guys, an tell um, ‘Howzit’ fo me, cuz time fo pay up cuz I wen proteck him an his sheeps. 6 Tell him dis: ‘David tell, he like you live long time, an he like eryting come out good fo you an yoa ohana, an eryting dat you get stay pono.’

Nowdays, get all kine worka guys stay run away from dea boss! 11 You tink I goin take my bread an my watta, an da meat I wen kill fo my worka guys eat um, da ones dat stay cut da wool from my sheeps, an give um to guys dat I donno who dem o wea dey come from?! No way, brah!”

12 So David guys turn aroun an go back. Wen dey come by David, dey tell him eryting dat Nabal tell um. 13 David tell his army guys, “Eh erybody, Grab yoa swords!” So dey put on dea swords an David put on his sword too. Bout four hundred guys go north wit David an two hundred guys stay back wit dea stuffs.

Stupid Da Husban, Akamai Da Wife

14 Same time, one a Nabal worka guys go tell Nabal wife Abigail, “Eh! David wen sen messenja guys from da boonies fo tell oua boss ‘Aloha! I like God do good tings fo you!’ But you know wat?! Oua boss talk harsh kine to dem. 15 But befo time, David guys wen make real good to us. Dey neva do notting wrong to us. All da time we stay out inside da fields nea dem, dey no rip us off notting. 16 Nite time an day time, dey stay guard us guys, jalike dey one wall aroun us, all da time we stay take kea oua sheeps nea dem. 17 Now, tink bout all dis, an figga out wat fo do, cuz David guys stay ready fo do someting real bad to oua boss an all his ohana peopo, an all us worka guys too. You know Nabal, aah? He da kine guy dass ony bad, so no mo nobody can talk to him.”

An if get even one a his guys dat still stay alive morning time, den I like God make real bad to me, David, jalike I aks God fo make to da guys dat stay agains me!”

23 Wen Abigail see David, she real fas get off her donkey, an go down in front him wit her face on top da dirt fo show um respeck. 24 Down by his feets, she tell, “You da boss! Let me be da ony one get da blame fo all dis. Yeah, try let me, yoa worka wahine, tell you someting. Lissen up wat I goin tell. 25 No let dat guy Nabal bodda you! He no good kine! An he ack jalike his name. His name mean ‘Stupid,’ an he do stupid kine stuff. But I yoa worka wahine, an I neva see da guys dat you, my boss, wen sen befo time.

Cuz fo shua, Da One In Charge goin make da peopo dat goin come from you stay strong an solid cuz you fight fo him.

An wen Da One In Charge do all dis good kine stuff fo you, den no foget me, yoa worka wahine.”

32 David tell Abigail, “Awesome! Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, do someting real good fo me right now, cuz he sen you today fo meet me! 33 An God stay do odda good tings fo me today, cuz you see good bout wat was right an wat was wrong. An, cuz you stop me fo go kill somebody today, an fo try fo win ova somebody jus cuz I mo strong. 34 I stay shua dat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, stay alive. An same ting, I stay shua dat he da One wen stop me, so I neva hurt you. But if you neva come quick fo meet me, fo shua no men guys from all Nabal guys wen stay alive wen da sun come up one mo time!”

35 Den David take from her da stuffs she wen bring fo him. He tell, “Go home an no worries! I wen lissen wat you wen tell, an I goin do wat you tell.”

36 Wen Abigail come back by Nabal, she see he stay make one big party inside da house, jalike one king. He stay real good inside cuz he stay plenny piloot. So she no tell him notting bout wat wen happen till light start fo come morning time. 37 Dat morning, Nabal no stay piloot no moa. Wen his wife tell him eryting dat wen happen, Nabal get one heart attack an come so he no can move, jalike one rock. 38 Bout ten days afta dat, Da One In Charge wack Nabal, an he mahke.

39 Wen David hear dat Nabal wen mahke, he tell his guys, “Tell Da One In Charge ‘Mahalo plenny!’ He wen do one good ting fo me. Cuz wen Nabal go talk bad bout me, Da One In Charge take kea me! Cuz Da One In Charge, az my boss. He no let me do da wrong kine ting to Nabal. Da bad kine ting Nabal wen do, Da One In Charge wen pay him back awready.”

Den David sen messenja guys by Abigail fo tell her he like fo her come his wife. 40 Wen David messenja guys come by Abigail Carmel side, dey tell her, “David wen sen us by you fo bring you by him fo come his wife.”

41 She go down an put her face on top da groun, an tell, “Kay den! I stay ready fo wateva David like, even fo wash his worka guys feets.”

Den she come his wife. 43 David marry Ahinoam from Jezreel too. So den, da two wahines come his wifes. 44 ✡But Saul, he wen give his girl Michal, dat was David wife, to Paltiel, Laish boy, from Gallim.

26

One Mo Time David No Kill Saul

1 ✡Da Zif peopo go by Saul Gibeah side, an tell, “David stay hide on top da Hakilah hill, da side wea can see da boonies Judah side!”

2 So Saul go down real fas by da boonies nea Zif town, wit three tousan Israel army guys dat he wen pick fo look fo David aroun dea. 3 Saul dem make camp by da road, up dea on top da Hakilah hill wea can see da boonies Judah side. But David dem, dey stay inside da boonies now. He find out dat Saul wen come da boonies fo go afta him. 4 So he sen out infantry guys fo go aroun an watch wat Saul do. He find out from dem, az true dat Saul wen come dea. 5 Den David go out by da place wea Saul wen make camp. He see wea Saul an Abner, Ner boy, da main leada guy fo da army guys, lay down an sleep. Saul stay sleep inside da camp, an da army guys stay sleep aroun him.

6 Den David aks Ahimelek from da Het peopo, an Abishai Zeruiah boy, Joab braddah, “One a you guys like go wit me, down dea by Saul, inside his army camp?”

Abishai tell, “Shoots! Me, I go wit you!”

7 So nite time, David an Abishai go da army camp. Dey spock Saul stay sleeping inside da camp, wit his spear stuck inside da groun by his head. Abner an da army guys stay sleep all aroun him.

8 Abishai wispa to David, “Right now, God stay give you da powa ova dis guy dat stay agains you! Now! Lemme poke um wit dat spear one time an pin um to da groun. I no goin even need two time fo poke um.”

9 But David wispa back, “No way! No wipe da guy out! God goin punish anybody dat try fo hurt da guy God wen pick!

10 “Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, same way I stay shua Saul goin mahke—maybe Da One In Charge goin be da One goin take um out. O maybe da time goin come fo him mahke regula kine. O maybe he come wipe out wen he stay fight one war. 11 ✡No way dat Da One In Charge goin let me hurt da guy dat he wen pick! Now, go grab da spear an da watta canteen dat stay nea his head, an den me an you, we dig outa hea!”

12 So David take da spear an da watta canteen dat stay nea Saul head, an dey get outa dea. Nobody wen see um, o know bout um, o wake up. Dey all stay sleep cuz Da One In Charge wen make dem pass out sleep.

13 Den David go da odda side far away, an stan on top one hill plenny far from Saul. 14 He yell to da army guys an to Abner, Ner boy, “Hui! Abner! You no goin talk to me, o wat?!”

Abner yell back, “Eh! Who you tink you? Who stay yell fo wake up da king?”

15 David tell, “Eh! You real high makamaka now, aah?! From all da Israel peopo, no mo nobody betta fo fight den you! So! How come you neva guard yoa boss da king? Cuz had one army guy come inside yoa camp fo wipe out yoa boss da king, you know?! 16 You no shame, o wat?! No good, how you wen make! Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, az how I stay shua, dat you an yoa guys gotta mahke, cuz you guys neva guard yoa boss, da one Da One In Charge wen pick! Look aroun you. Wea da king spear an da watta canteen dat stay nea his head?!”

17 Saul wake up, an he know from da voice, az David! He tell, “David my boy, az you stay yelling?!”

David tell, “Yeah, az me, my boss da king!” 18 Den David tell, “Eh boss! How come you stay chase me, yoa worka guy?! I neva do notting wrong! Fo wat you like punish me?! 19 Now, you da king, an you my boss. Az why I like you fo lissen wat I goin tell you. If Da One In Charge da One stay make you come agains me, den I goin make one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge, fo him smell um an know eryting stay good wit me an him, an den he no stay agains me no moa. But if all dis huhu jus come from peopo, I like Da One In Charge make shua dose buggahs get kahuna on top dem! Cuz wat get right now, is dis—dey wen throw me outa my land. Az why now, I no mo da right fo own my share dat Da One In Charge was suppose to give me! Jalike dey stay tell me, ‘Go way! Beat it! Go by da odda peopos an pray to dea gods, not oua God!’ 20 Now, my boss da king, no make me bleed an mahke inside one land wea I no can stay nea Da One In Charge! Wat da king fo da Israel peopo do, he stay come out hea jalike fo hunt ony one flea! Jalike somebody chasing one pheasant bird all ova da mountains.”

21 Den Saul tell, “Yeah, wat I wen do was bad! Go come back, David my boy! I promise, I no goin try hurt you one mo time. Today, you wen let me stay alive cuz you get respeck fo me. Fo shua, den, I wen ack stupid, an jam up fo real kine!”

22 David tell, “Hea, yoa spear! Let one a yoa guys come ova dis side an get um. 23 Da One In Charge, he make good to erybody wen dey do da right kine ting an wen dey stay tight wit him. Az why today, no matta Da One In Charge wen give me da powa fo hurt you, I neva like do dat, cuz you da guy Da One In Charge wen pick. 24 Fo shua I wen make to you jalike yoa life importan, wen I neva kill you today. So same ting, I like Da One In Charge show me respeck an no let you kill me, an get me outa all kine trouble too!”

25 Den Saul tell David, “God goin do plenny good kine stuff fo you, my boy David. Fo shua you goin do big kine tings an be da winna.”

So David go way from dea an Saul go back his place.

27

David Stay Wit Da Filisha Guys

1 David now stay figga, “Bumbye, aah? Saul goin wipe me out. So, mo betta I bag outa hea, an go by da Filisha peopo. Ova dea, Saul no goin look fo me inside da Israel land no moa, an I goin get away from his powa.”

2 So David an da six hundred guys wit him go da odda side by Akish, Maok boy. Akish, he da king fo Gat town. 3 David an his guys stay inside Gat wit King Akish. Ery army guy wit David get his wife an kids wit him. David get his two wifes wit him too, Ahinoam from Jezreel, an Abigail from Carmel, Nabal widow. 4 Somebody tell Saul dat David wen run away Gat side. Az why he no look fo David dis time.

5 Laytas, David tell Akish, “If you feel good bout me, den let da peopo inside one a da country towns give me one place fo me go live ova dea. You my boss. But I not one importan guy. So no need fo me live inside yoa big town wea you stay.”

6 Dat same day, Akish give David da right fo be da main man Ziklag town. (Az why dat town, laytas stay unda da Judah kings, an not da Filisha kings.) 7 David live inside da Filisha countryside, one year an four month.

8 Dat time, David an his guys stay attack an rip off stuff from da Geshur peopo, da Girza peopo, an da Amalek peopo. (From long time dose peopo live inside da small towns, inside da land wea you come nea Shur town, an nea da road dat go Egypt side.) 9 Weneva David dem attack da peopo all aroun one place, he no leave nobody alive, no guy o wahine. But, he take da sheeps an goats, cows, donkeys, camels, an clotheses. Den he go back by Akish.

10 Weneva Akish tell David, “Wea you guys wen go dis time fo rip off stuff?”

David tell um, “Da south part a da boonies Judah side,” o “Da south part a da boonies wea da Jerahmeel peopo live,” o “Da south part a da boonies wea da Ken peopo live.” 11 David no leave nobody alive, guys o wahines, cuz he figga, “If somebody stay alive, bumbye somebody goin bring dem Gat side, an dey goin tell wat us guys wen do fo real kine.” Az how David wen tell his guys fo ack, all da time he live inside da Filisha country side. 12 Akish start fo trus David, cuz he tink, “Da way dis guy ack, he make his peopo, da Israel peopo, hate him! Az why he goin work fo me long time.”

28

Saul Wit Da Wahine Dat Talk To Da Mahke Peopo

1 Dat time da Filisha guys bring all dea army guys togedda fo go fight da Israel guys. Akish tell David, “You undastan, you an yoa guys goin go wit me an be part a my army, fo shua, aah?”

2 David tell um, “Kay den, boss. If dass wat you like, den you goin know fo shua wat I can do.”

Akish tell, “You do dat, den I goin make you come my bodyguard guy foeva.”

3 ✡✡Befo time, wen Samuel mahke, all da Israel peopo wen cry fo him. Dey bury him inside Ramah, his home town. Dat time, Saul wen throw out from da Israel land, da wahines dat can talk to da mahke peopo, an da fortune tella guys.

4 Da Filisha army guys come togedda an go Shunem town fo make camp. Saul, he bring all da Israel guys togedda, an dey make camp Gilboa side. 5 Wen Saul see da Filisha army, he come all sked an shaking inside. 6 ✡He aks Da One In Charge fo tell wat goin happen, but Da One In Charge no tell him notting—not inside his dreams, o wit da Urim da Main Pries Guy use, o from da guys dat talk fo Da One In Charge. Notting! 7 Den Saul tell his helpa guys, “Go find one wahine dat can make da mahke peopo talk to her fo me go by her an aks her.”

Dey tell, “You know wat?! Get dat kine, Endor side!”

8 So Saul put on odda kine clotheses so nobody know az him. Nite time, him an two odda guys go ova dea by da wahine. He aks da wahine, “Try talk to da mahke peopo fo me fo find out wat goin happen. An bring up fo me, from da Mahke Peopo Place, da guy wit da name I goin tell you.”

9 But da wahine tell him, “Eh! Fo shua you know wat Saul awready wen do! He throw out da wahines dat talk to da mahke peopo, an da fortune tella guys, all ova da land. So! How come you make one trap fo catch me?! So you make shua I goin mahke, o wat?!”

10 Saul make one strong promise to her in front Da One In Charge. He tell, “Jalike I stay shua Da One In Charge stay alive, same way I stay shua nobody goin punish you cuz a wat you goin do fo me.”

11 So, da wahine aks, “Who you like me bring up fo you?”

He tell, “Samuel!”

12 Right den an dea, da wahine see Samuel! She yell real loud to Saul, “How come you wen bulai me?! I know you! You Saul!”

13 King Saul tell her, “No need come sked! Jus tell me wat you see.”

Da wahine tell, “I see gods coming up outa da groun.”

14 Saul tell, “An Samuel, wat he look jalike?”

She tell, “He one ol guy, wearing one robe, dat stay come up too.”

Saul now know fo shua az Samuel. So he go down an put his face on top da groun fo show Samuel respeck.

15 Samuel tell, “How come you stay bodda me an bring me up hea?”

Saul tell, “I get plenny presha! Da Filisha guys stay fight me. Jalike God tell ‘Laytas’ to me an no lissen you! He no talk to me no moa, no matta I aks da guys dat talk fo him, o I dream. Az why I wen call fo you fo tell me wat fo do.”

Some a dem get hundreds a army guys, an some a dem get tousans a army guys. David an his guys stay march in da las part wit Akish. 3 Da army officers fo da Filisha guys aks da king guys, “Wat bout all dese Hebrew guys?”

Akish tell dem, “Dis David. He was one officer fo Saul, da Israel king. He stay wit me mo den one year awready. From da time he wen bag from Saul till now, he neva do notting wrong.”

Bumbye, he goin change his mind an go agains us guys wen we stay fight!

6 So Akish tell David fo come. He tell David, “Fo shua, yoa God, Da One In Charge, stay alive, an fo shua you one guy dat stay do wass right. Da way I see um, good, you go wit me an fight inside oua army. From da time you wen come by me till now, I no find notting wrong wit you. But da way da odda king guys see um, az not good you stay wit us guys. 7 So now, go back Ziklag side, an no talk bad. No do notting fo make da odda Filisha king guys come huhu.”

Befo time dey wen work fo yoa boss Saul too, an now dey come wit you. Go back wen get light to da town I wen give you guys.”

11 So David an his guys get up early morning time fo go back da Filisha peopo land, an da Filisha guys go Jezreel fo fight dea.

David Wipe Out Da Amalek Peopo

1-2 Dis wat happen den. Same time wen David dem stay come, da Amalek guys stay rip off stuffs inside da Negev Boonies an Ziklag town. Dey attack Ziklag an burn um. Dey grab da wahines an erybody dat stay ova dea, da young ones an da ol ones too. Dey no kill nobody, but make dem go wea da Amalek guys like go.

Three day afta David an his guys go way from Akish, dey come Ziklag. 3 Dey see dat da Amalek guys wen burn down da town awready, an make dea wifes an boys an girls prisonas! 4 David an his guys cry plenny, till dey not strong enuff fo cry no moa. 5 ✡Da Amalek guys take away David two wifes too, Ahinoam from Jezreel, an Abigail, da widow from Nabal da Carmel guy. 6 David get trouble big time. All da guys stay piss off an huhu inside cuz a dea boys an girls. Dey start fo talk fo throw big rocks at David fo kill um. But David stay tight wit Da One In Charge, his God, an he stay strong inside still yet.

7 ✡Den David tell Abiatar da pries guy, Ahimelek boy, “Try bring me da spesho pries kine ves you use fo aks God wat fo do.” An Abiatar go get um. 8 David aks Da One In Charge, “Az good fo me go chase afta dese guys dat wen rip us off, o wat? Can catch up wit dem, o no can?”

Da One In Charge tell, “Go! Chase um! Fo shua you goin catch um, an fo shua you goin get yoa peopo back!”

9 David an da six hundred guys wit him come by da Besor Gulch. Get two hundred guys dat no can move no moa. Az why dey stay dea. 10 Cuz dey real wipe out, dey no can go da odda side a da gulch. But David an da odda four hundred guys still yet go chase da Amalek guys.

11 Dey spock one young guy from Egypt inside da country side, an dey bring him by David, an give him watta fo drink, an food fo eat. 12 Dey get plenny fig all mash togedda, so dey cut off one piece an give um, an two bunch dry grape. He eat um an feel mo betta, cuz he neva eat o drink notting fo three days an three nites.

13 David aks him, “Who own you? Wea you come from?”

Da young guy tell, “I from Egypt. I da slave fo one Amalek guy. Da day befo yestaday, my boss leave me hea cuz I stay sick. 14 All us guys wen rip off stuff from da boonies wea da Keret peopo live Negev side, an da part da Judah peopo own, an da boonies wea da Caleb ohana live inside da Negev. Ziklag town, we burn all dat too.”

15 David aks him, “You can show me wea dose rip off guys stay?”

Da Egypt guy tell, “Firs ting, you gotta make one strong promise fo me in front God, dat you no goin kill me, o give me back to my boss! Den I can bring you down by dem.”

David tell um, “Shoots! Can.”

16 So da Egypt guy take David dem down. Wen dey get dea, get Amalek guys all ova, eating, drinking, an partying up, cuz get all kine stuff dey wen rip off from da Filisha land an from da Judah land. 17 David an his army guys attack da Amalek guys wen litto mo ready fo come light da nex morning. Dey stay fight um till afta da sun go down dat day. Ony four hundred young guys get away on top da camels. No moa no odda guys get away, 18 David dem get back eryting da Amalek guys wen rip off an David two wifes. 19 Eryting stay dea, young an ol peopo, boys an girls, an all da stuff da Amalek guys wen rip off. David dem take back eryting. 20 He take all da sheeps, goats, an cows. His guys make da animals dat dey take away from da Amalek guys, go in front da odda animals dey get awready. Dey tell erybody, “Dis da stuff dat David bring back from da fight!”

21 Den David dem come back wea da two hundred odda guys stay, da ones dat was real wipe out an no can go all da way wit David. Az why he wen leave um by Besor Gulch. Dey come out fo meet David an da peopo wit him. Wen David an his guys come nea, David aks da guys dat stay Besor Gulch side if eryting stay good wit dem.

22 Cuz a dat, some a David guys, da kine bad guys an guys dat like make humbug, dey tell, “Dese guys neva go wit us! So we no goin give dem notting from all da stuffs us bring back from fight! But erybody can take dea wifes an kids an go.”

23 But David tell, “No make lidat, my braddahs! You betta not make lidat wit all da stuff Da One In Charge wen give us guys. He take kea us guys awready, an he make us win da fight wit da rip off guys dat wen come agains us. 24 If you tink da oddas goin lissen wat you guys tell bout dis, no way! Da guys dat wen stay hea an take kea all oua stuffs, dey goin get all da same jalike us guys dat go down fo fight. Erybody goin share, same same.” 25 An from dat day, David make dat rule solid fo all da judge guys fo da Israel peopo. An nowdays, dey still make lidat.

26 Wen David come back by Ziklag, he sen some a da stuff da Amalek guys wen rip off to his frenz, da older leadas fo da Judah ohana. He tell dem, “Hea! I like give you guys some a da stuffs dat da guys dat stay agains Da One In Charge wen rip off from you guys.”

27 He sen da stuffs by plenny towns: fo da leada guys inside Bethel, Ramot inside da Negev, an Jattir, 28 Aroer, Sifmot, Eshtemoa, 29 an Rakal; an da towns wea da Jerahmeel ohana guys live, an da Ken peopo, 30 an by da leada guys inside Hormah town, Bor Ashan, Atak, 31 an Hebron town. David sen stuff to da leadas fo all da odda places wea him an his guys wen go hang out befo time.

Saul An His Boys Mahke

(2 Samuel 1:4-12; 1 Records 10:1-12)

1 Da same time David dem leave da Filisha guys fo go Ziklag, da Filisha guys stay fight da Israel guys. Da Israel army guys run away from dem, an plenny Israel guys mahke on top Mount Gilboa. 2 Da Filisha guys run fas an chase Saul an his boys Jonathan, Abinadab, an Malki-Shua. Dey kill his boys. 3 Dey fight hard fo get to Saul. Da bow an arrow guys shoot um, so den he stay shake cuz he all bus up.

4 Saul tell da guy dat carry da tings he use fo fight, “Grab yoa sword an stab me! If dese buggahs dat donno God come hea, dey goin make any kine to me wen dey stab me!”

But da guy dat carry his stuff fo fight no like kill him. Da guy real sked, az why. So Saul take his sword, an throw his body down on top um so da sword go thru his body. 5 Da guy dat carry Saul stuffs fo fight wit, see dat Saul stay mahke awready, so he go throw his body down on top his sword too, an mahke wit Saul. 6 An az how Saul, an his three boys, an da guy dat carry Saul stuffs fo fight, an all his army guys, wen mahke togedda dat same day.

7 (Da Israel army guys dat stay da odda side a da Jezreel valley, an da ones dat stay da odda side a da Jordan Riva, dey see dat da Israel army guys wen run away, an dat Saul an his boys mahke. So dey bag from dea towns an run away too. An da Filisha guys come an start fo live inside dose towns.)

8 Da day afta da fight, da Filisha guys come back fo rip off stuffs from da mahke guys. Dey find Saul an his boys mahke bodies, dea on top Mount Gilboa. 9 Dey cut off Saul head, an rip off da tings he use fo fight. Den dey sen messenja guys all ova da Filisha land fo go da temples fo dea idol kine gods an tell dea peopo da good stuff bout Saul mahke. 10 Dey put da tings Saul use fo fight inside da temple fo da wahine god Astarte. Den dey poke one big stick thru his mahke body fo hang um up on top da wall aroun Bet-Shan town.

11 Da peopo inside Jabesh town Gilead side wen hear wat da Filisha peopo wen do to Saul. 12 So all da Jabesh guys dat know how fo fight good, make ready an go all nite Bet-Shan town. Dey take down da bodies fo Saul an his boys from da wall aroun Bet-Shan town, an go back Jabesh side. Dey burn da bodies ova dea. 13 Den dey take da bones, an bury um unda da tamarisk tree Jabesh side. Dey no eat fo seven days, fo show dey stay sad inside.

16 Joab stay watch Rabbah town all da time, so he know da place wea da Rabbah guys fight da mos hard. He put Uriah dea. 17 Wen da guys from da town come outside fo fight Joab dem, some a da guys from David army mahke. An Uriah da Het guy, he mahke too.

18 Joab make one report on eryting dat wen happen wen dey fight, an sen one guy fo tell David. 19 He tell da messenja guy, “Wen you pau tell da king bout all da fighting, 20 maybe he goin come real huhu, an aks you, ‘How come you guys go so nea da town fo fight?! You guys donno dey goin shoot arrow from on top da wall, o wat?! 21 ✡Long time befo time, Tebez town, who wen kill Abimelek, Jerub-Beshet boy, aah? Was one wahine! She throw down one big stone from da mill on top him from da town wall, so he mahke dea, aah? So, how come you guys go real nea da town wall lidat, aah?!’

“If he talk to you lidat, tell him, ‘Oh, an get anodda ting. Yoa worka guy Uriah da Het guy, he mahke too.’ ”

22 Da messenja guy go, an wen he come by David, da guy tell David eryting Joab wen tell him fo tell. 23 He tell David, “Dea guys wen fight mo strong den us guys. Dey come out agains us fo fight inside da field outside Rabbah town. But us guys push um back to da town gate. 24 Den da guys dat shoot arrows, shoot um at us, yoa guys, from on top da wall. An some a yoa worka guys mahke. An yoa worka guy Uriah da Het guy, he mahke too.”

25 David tell da messenja guy, “Tell Joab dis: ‘No let dat bodda you. Cuz wen get war, nobody know who goin mahke! Go fight plenny, an take ova Rabbah town, an bus up da place!’ Tell Joab dat fo make um feel mo strong.”

26 Wen Uriah wife hear dat her husban mahke, she cry plenny cuz a Uriah. 27 Afta da time fo cry fo Uriah pau, David tell his guys fo bring her to his palace, an she come his wife. She born one boy fo him. But da way Da One In Charge see um, da ting David wen do was wrong.

4 “Get one guy come from one far place. He go by da guy wit plenny stuffs. But da guy wit plenny stuffs no like take one a da sheeps o cows he own fo make food fo dat guy. Az why dat rich guy take da bebe sheep from da guy dat no mo notting. He kill um an cook um, an feed um to da guy dat come from da far place.”

5 Wen David hea dat, he come real huhu agains dat rich guy. He tell Nathan, “Jalike I stay shua Da One In Charge stay alive, I stay shua dat da guy dat make lidat gotta mahke! 6 Jus cuz da guy wen make lidat, an no show pity, he gotta pay fo dat bebe sheep four times!”

7 Den Nathan tell David, “Dat guy, az you! Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo tell: ‘I da One dat wen pick you fo come king fo da Israel peopo. I da One wen get you outa da bad kine stuff dat Saul like do agains you. 8 I give you eryting yoa boss Saul wen get, an I let you take his wifes fo come yoa wifes. I give you da Israel ohanas an da Judah ohana. An if dat still not enuff, I can give you mo plenny! 9 Me, Da One In Charge! I tell peopo wat dey gotta do an wat dey gotta no do. So! How come you ack jalike wat I tell no mean notting?! Da way I see um, dis ting dat you wen do, az real bad! You wen murda Uriah da Het guy, an steal his wife fo come yoa wife. Az jalike you use da Ammon guys sword fo kill him. 10 Az why from now some a da peopo dat goin come from you goin get kill wit swords, an dat goin happen fo long time! Az cuz you wen ack jalike I no matta, an you wen take Uriah wife fo come yoa wife.’

11 ✡“Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: ‘Wat I goin do, I goin make real bad kine stuff happen to you. Goin come from inside yoa ohana. I goin take away yoa wifes wen you stay watching, an I goin give dem to one guy dat stay nea you. He goin make sex wit yoa wifes day time, wen erybody can see. 12 You, you wen do um secret kine wea nobody can see. But me, I goin do dis day time in front all da Israel peopo!’ ” Dass wat Da One In Charge tell.

13 David tell Nathan, “Was real bad, dis ting I wen do agains Da One In Charge!”

Nathan tell, “An Da One In Charge, he let you go awready fo da bad ting you wen do. You no goin mahke from dis. 14 But cuz you wen make lidat, you wen ack jalike you tink Da One In Charge no good! So da boy dat goin born goin mahke fo shua.” 15 Den Nathan go back home.

Batsheba Bebe Mahke

Da One In Charge wack da bebe afta Uriah wife born um fo David, an da bebe come sick. 16 David beg God fo make da bebe come good. David skip food fo him pray, an ery nite he go inside his house an lay down on da groun fo sleep. 17 Da older palace leada guys stan by his side fo try get him up from da groun, but he no like. An he no eat wit dem.

18 Day numba seven, da bebe mahke. David worka guys sked fo tell him dat da bebe mahke. Cuz dey figga, “Wen da bebe still alive, we talk to David, but he no lissen us. How we goin tell him dat da bebe mahke? Maybe he goin do someting bad!”

19 David see dat his palace guys stay wispa to each odda, an he figga dat da bebe mahke. So he aks, “He mahke, aah? o wat?”

Dey tell, “Yeah, mahke awready.”

20 Den David get up from da groun. He bafe, put on olive oil, an change his clotheses. Den he go da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit Da One In Charge an show him love an respeck. Den he go his house. An he aks his guys fo food. Dey bring um, an he eat.

21 David worka guys aks him, “How come you make lidis? Cuz wen da bebe stay alive, you skip food fo pray, an you cry. But now he mahke, how come you get up an eat?!”

22 David tell, “Wen da bebe still stay alive, I skip food fo pray, an I cry cuz I stay figga, ‘I donno. Maybe Da One In Charge goin make nice to me, an da bebe goin stay alive.’ 23 But now, he mahke. Az why no need skip food fo pray! I no can bring da bebe back one mo time. Me, I goin go by him bumbye, but he no goin come back by me.”

24 Den David help his wife Batsheba fo no feel sad inside no moa. Laytas, afta he sleep wit her, she born one boy, an she name him “Solomon.” Da One In Charge get love an aloha fo Solomon. 25 Az why Da One In Charge tell Nathan, da guy dat talk fo him, fo give Solomon da name “Jedediah” too, dat mean “Da One In Charge love him.”

26 Afta Uriah mahke, Joab guys still stay fight da Ammon peopo inside Rabbah town, wea dea king stay. Joab guys take ova da main part a da town. 27 Den Joab sen messenja guys by David, an tell, “I wen fight Rabbah, an take ova da watta fo da town. 28 Now you, bring da res a da army guys. Put um all aroun da big town so da peopo dea no can go outside o come inside. Dass how you goin take ova. Cuz if you no do dat, an I take um ova, den peopo goin give my name to da town, an az no good.”

29 So David bring togedda all da army guys, an dey go Rabbah side. Dey attack an take ova da town. 30 David take da crown from da Rabbah king guy head. Da crown heavy, wit bout seventy-five poun gold an one jewel stone dat cost plenny. Den somebody put da crown on top David head fo show he da winna. He take home plenny stuffs from Rabbah town. 31 He make da peopo dat live dea go way from dea town, an make dem go anodda place fo do garut kine work—fo cut stone wit saws, iron picks, an iron axes, an fo make brick. Az how he wen make to all da Ammon towns. Den David an all his army guys go back Jerusalem side.

7 David sen somebody inside da palace fo tell Tamar, “Try go yoa braddah Amnon house, an make food fo him, aah?” 8 So Tamar go her braddah Amnon house. He stay lie down. She take some dough, mix um an lomi um fo make da pancakes. Same time, Amnon stay watch her cook um. 9 Den she take da pancakes outa da pan fo give him, but he neva like eat um.

16 But she tell um, “No way! Cuz wat you wen do to me was wrong, an if you sen me away, dass even mo wrong!”

But still yet, Amnon no like lissen her. 17 He call his young helpa guy an tell, “Throw out dis wahine! An wen she stay outside, lock da door behind her!” 18 So his worka guy throw her outside, an lock da door. She stay wear one real fancy kine long sleeve robe, cuz az da kine clotheses da princess wahines wear befo dey marry. 19 Tamar put ash on top her head, an rip da fancy kine clotheses she wear.

1 Afta Absalom come back, he buy one war wagon an horses, an pay fifty guys fo run in front him wen he come inside da street fo erybody know az Absalom dat stay come. 2 Ery day he get up early an stan by da side a one a da roads dat go thru da gate fo go inside Jerusalem town.

Den erybody dat like squawk bout someting can come by me, an I can make da right kine ting happen fo dem. But az not how stay now!”

5 An erytime somebody come nea Absalom fo go down in front him, Absalom put out his hand, take hold a dem, an kiss dem. 6 Absalom make lidat to all da Israel peopo dat come fo aks da king fo do da right kine ting fo dem. Az how he bulai da Israel peopo fo dem like him mo den dey like da king.

I wen make one strong promise to him fo do um. 8 Da time I, yoa worka guy, wen live Geshur town, Aram side, I wen make dis strong promise: ‘Da One In Charge, if you take me back fo live Jerusalem side, I goin go down in front you an show you respeck Hebron side.’ ”

9 Da king tell him, “No let notting bodda you. I like eryting go good fo you. So, go!” So Absalom go Hebron side.

10 But Absalom sen messenjas secret kine by all da ohanas inside Israel fo tell, “Wen you guys hear da noise from da sheep horn trumpet, den tell, ‘Hebron side, Absalom wen come oua king!’ ” 11 Wen Absalom go Hebron side, two hundred guys from Jerusalem go wit him. He wen invite dem fo go wit him, fo dem go wit one good heart. But dey donno notting bout wat he plan fo do. 12 Wen Absalom make one sacrifice, he sen somebody fo go bring Ahitofel. (Ahitofel, he da guy from Giloh dat help David figga wass da bestes ting fo David do.) Absalom tell Ahitofel fo come Hebron side from his town Giloh. An so da plan Absalom make fo ovathrow da govmen come mo strong, an mo an mo peopo stay go his side.

David Run

13 One messenja guy come an tell David, “Da Israel guys wen change dea mind, an now dey like Absalom mo betta den you!”

14 David tell all da palace guys dat stay wit him inside Jerusalem, “Go come! Us gotta run, o no mo nobody from us goin get away from Absalom. Us gotta bag right now! Cuz he goin come real fas wea we stay, an throw us guys outa hea, an his guys goin kill all da peopo inside Jerusalem town wit dea swords.”

15 Da king palace guys tell um, “Us yoa worka guys. We stay ready fo do wateva you tink gotta do cuz you oua boss.”

16 Da king start fo walk wit all his palace peopo. He leave ten a his odda kine wifes fo take kea a da palace. 17 So da king start fo go wit all da army guys dat stay his side. Dey stop by da las house befo dey leave da town. 18 All his palace guys march by in front him, wit all his bodyguard guys from da Keret an Pelet peopo. All da six hundred Filisha infantry guys dat come wit him from Gat, dey march pass in front King David.

19 Da king tell Ittai, da leada fo da Gat guys, “Eh, no need fo you guys come wit us guys! Go back Jerusalem an stay wit da new king guy. Cuz you guys no come from da Israel ohana, an da peopo from yoa land no let you guys live wit dem. 20 Jalike was ony yestaday wen you guys wen come by us. So today, no need you guys come homeless an go all ova da place wit us guys! I donno wea us goin go. Go back, an take all yoa guys. Stay tight wit each odda an trus each odda!”

21 But Ittai tell da king, “Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, an dat you, my boss da king, stay alive, I stay shua bout dis too: Wateva place you stay, my boss da king, I yoa worka guy, an I goin stay dea too, no matta I stay alive o I mahke!”

22 David tell Ittai, “Kay den! Go march in front!” So Ittai da Gat guy march wit all his army guys an dea odda ohana peopo dat stay wit him.

23 All da peopo country side stay cry loud an plenny wen all da peopo wit David go by. Da king go across da Kidron Stream, an all da peopo go da road dat bring um inside da boonies.

24 Zadok da pries guy, he stay go too, an all da Levi guys dat stay wit him carry da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit God. Dey put down da Box, an Abiatar da pries guy wait dea till all da army guys pau come outa Jerusalem town. Den him an da Levi guys take da Box up da hill too.

25 But da king tell Zadok, “You an yoa guys, take da Box Fo God back inside Jerusalem town. If Da One In Charge get aloha fo me, he goin bring me back, an let me see da Box an da place wea da Box stay one mo time. 26 But if Da One In Charge tell, ‘I no stay good inside wen I tink bout you, David,’ den I stay ready fo God make to me wateva stay good, da way he see um.”

27 Da king tell Zadok da pries guy dis too: “You know wat I mean, aah? Go back inside da town wit yoa boy Ahimaaz, an Jonathan Abiatar boy, an no worry. You an Abiatar, take yoa two boys wit you guys. 28 You guys, watch wass happening. I goin wait by da place wea peopo go across da riva fo go inside da boonies. I goin stay dea till somebody come from you guys fo tell me wassup.” 29 So Zadok an Abiatar take da Box Fo God back inside Jerusalem an stay dea.

30 Same time, David, he stay go up da Olive Ridge, an stay crying wen he go. He cova his head fo show he shame an he walk barefeet. All da peopo wit him cova dea head too an stay cry wen dey go. 31 Somebody tell David, “Ahitofel, he one a da guys dat stay make one plan wit Absalom fo take ova da govmen.” So David pray to Da One In Charge, “Eh! You Da One In Charge! Wateva Ahitofel tell Absalom az good fo him do, make wat he tell come pupule, aah?!”

32 Wen David come nea da top a da Olive Ridge, wea get one place fo pray to God, get Hushai from da Ark peopo stay dea fo meet him. His clotheses stay rip fo show he sad, an he get dirt on top his head fo show he stay sad inside. 33 David tell him, “If you go da boonies wit me, you goin be jalike one extra load fo me fo carry. 34 But if you go back inside Jerusalem town an tell Absalom, ‘My king, I goin be yoa worka guy. I wen work fo yoa faddah from long time, an now I goin work fo you,’ den you goin help me an make wateva Ahitofel tell Absalom fo do, come no good, aah?! 35 An ova dea wit you, goin get da pries guys Zadok an Abiatar. Tell dem wateva you hear inside da king palace. 36 Dea two boys, Zadok boy Ahimaaz an Abiatar boy Jonathan, stay dea wit dem. You guys can sen dem by me fo tell me wateva you hear.”

37 So Hushai, da fren dat help David figga wat da bestes ting fo do befo time, he go back Jerusalem, same time Absalom go inside da big town.

16

1 ✡Wen David go down litto bit da odda side a da Olive Ridge, he see Ziba ova dea. He da land manager fo Mefiboshet. He stay wait fo meet David. He bring two donkeys wit pack saddle. Da donkeys stay carry two hundred roun kine breads, one hundred chunk block raisin candy press togedda, one hundred summa kine fruits, an one goat skin all sew up wit wine inside.

Ziba tell, “I go down in front you, boss. I like be da kine guy dat you erytime like. Cuz you, my boss an king.”

Shimei Talk Harsh Kine To David

5 Wen King David come nea Bahurim town, get one guy from da Saul ohana, come outa da town. His name Shimei, Gera boy. Wen he stay come out, he yell fo God put kahuna on top da king fo hurt him. 6 He throw stones at King David an all his leada guys, no matta all da army guys an spesho bodyguard guys stay all aroun David. 7 Wen Shimei yell fo God put kahuna on top David, he tell, “Get outa hea! You one guy dat kill plenny peopo! Fo shua, you good fo notting! 8 Now, Da One In Charge stay pay you back, cuz a all da Saul ohana guys you wen kill! You wen take ova his place fo come king! Awready Da One In Charge give yoa peopo to yoa boy Absalom fo come king ova dem! Cuz you wen kill plenny peopo, I like eryting come bad fo you!”

9 Den Abishai Zeruiah boy tell da king, “How come dis buggah tell God put kahuna on top you, da king?! He not betta den one mahke dog! Let me go ova dea an cut off his head!”

10 But da king tell, “Dis my kuleana! Dis not bout you guys, my nephews, Zeruiah boys. Who you fo tell um fo stop?! If he stay yell fo put kahuna on top me cuz Da One In Charge tell him fo do dat, den who can tell Da One In Charge, ‘How come you make lidis?!’ ”

11 Den David tell Abishai, an all his leada guys, “You guys know my boy dat come from my blood an bones, he stay try fo kill me, aah? Dass way mo den dis Benjamin ohana guy like kill me, you know! Let um go an let um yell fo God put kahuna on top me David cuz Da One In Charge wen tell him fo do dat. 12 Maybe Da One In Charge goin see dat I stay suffa plenny awready, an dat goin do good fo me, fo pay me back wit someting good afta dis guy put kahuna on top me today.”

13 So David an his guys no bodda Shimei. Dey jus stay on top da road.

14 An dass how da king an all da peopo wit him wen come by da place wea dey stay go. Dey stay wore out cuz dey walk real far. Den he res an eat ova dea.

Wat Hushai An Ahitofel Tell Absalom Fo Do

15 Same time, Absalom an all da Israel guys wit him come Jerusalem side. Ahitofel come wit him too. 16 Den Hushai from da Ark peopo, da fren dat help David figga wat he gotta do befo time, he go by Absalom an tell him, “I like you, da king, live long time! Real long time!”

17 So Absalom tell, “Wot? Dis how you show yoa fren dat you stay tight wit him? How come you no go wit yoa fren?”

18 Hushai tell Absalom, “You no undastan! Da one I stay tight wit goin be da one Da One In Charge wen pick, an all dese peopo like um, an all da odda Israel guys like um too. Dass da one I goin stay wit an be his guy! 19 An one mo ting: Who I goin work fo? I goin work fo you, David boy, jalike I wen work fo yoa faddah.”

20 Den Absalom tell Ahitofel dem, “Kay den, you guys. Da way you guys see um, wat you tink da bestes ting fo do?”

21 Ahitofel tell, “Firs ting, go make sex wit yoa faddah odda kine wifes, da ones he wen leave ova hea fo take kea da palace. Wen you make sex lidis, den dass goin show to all da Israel peopo dat you wen do someting real pilau agains yoa faddah. An erybody dat stay by you goin come mo strong cuz a dis.” 22 ✡Az why Absalom guys put up one tent fo him on top da flat roof a da palace. Den Absalom go inside fo make sex dea wit his faddah odda wifes wea all da Israel peopo can see wea he go.

23 (Befo time, weneva somebody aks Ahitofel wat fo do, wateva Ahitofel tell um stay good. Dass jalike fo aks God wat fo do! Az how David, an Absalom too, tink bout wateva Ahitofel wen tell um fo do.)

17

Hushai Jam Up Wat Ahitofel Plan

1 Den get one mo ting Ahitofel tell Absalom: “I like pick 12,000 guys, an go out tonite fo chase David. 2 Wen I catch up wit him, he goin come real tired an bum out. I like make um come real sked so he run away. Den all da army guys wit him goin run away too. But I goin ony kill da king. 3 Wen I do dat, I goin bring all da peopo back yoa side, jalike da way all dem befo time wen go da odda side wit David, da guy you stay look fo now. Den nobody goin get hurt.”

4 Absalom an all da older leadas fo da Israel peopo tink dis plan stay real good.

5 Den Absalom tell, “Tell Hushai from da Ark peopo fo come fo us hear wat he goin tell too.” 6 Wen Hushai come by him, Absalom tell, “Dis wat Ahitofel tell us fo do. Okay fo do wat he tell? If not, you tell us wat fo do.”

7 Hushai tell, “Wat Ahitofel tell you fo do, dass not good dis time. 8 You know yoa faddah an his guys, dey all know how fo fight real good, an dey plenny huhu awready! Dey goin ack jalike one wild bear wen somebody steal her bebes. An yoa faddah win plenny war awready, you know. He no goin go sleep by da odda army guys, nite time. 9 Even now, he stay hide inside one a da caves, o anodda place he know. If he go attack yoa army guys firs, whoeva hear bout um goin tell, ‘Plenny peopo wen mahke from da army guys dat go wit Absalom!’ 10 Den oua mos strong guys dat no sked notting, an get heart jalike one lion, even dey goin come weak cuz dey stay real sked. Cuz all da Israel peopo know dat yoa faddah know how fo fight real good, an all da guys wit him, stay strong an no sked notting.

11 “So az why I tell you fo do dis: Bring togedda by you all da Israel guys, from Dan north side to Beer-Sheba south side. Dey mo plenny den get sand on top da beach, you know! Den you goin be da one dey go wit fo fight. 12 An we go attack yoa faddah no matta wea he stay. Us guys, we goin go all ova him an his guys, jalike da dew go all ova da groun morning time. Az how we no goin leave him alive, o even one a all his guys! 13 If he take all his guys togedda inside one town dat get strong wall, den all da Israel guys goin bring ropes to da town wall, an we goin drag down da town wall all da way to da stream. An layta, no mo nobody goin find even one small stone from dat town.”

14 Absalom an all da Israel guys tell, “Wat Hushai da Ark guy tell us fo do, mo betta den wat Ahitofel tell us fo do.” (Cuz you know, Da One In Charge wen plan awready fo jam up wat Ahitofel tell fo do. He do dat fo Da One In Charge make bad kine stuff happen to Absalom.)

15 Laytas, Hushai tell Zadok an Abiatar, da pries guys, “Ahitofel wen tell Absalom an da older leadas fo Israel, wat dey gotta do. But me, I wen tell um dey gotta do diffren kine. 16 Now you guys, sen messenja guys real fas fo tell David, ‘No stay tonite nea da place wea can go da odda side a da riva fo go inside da boonies! Make shua you go da odda side a da riva right now! Cuz if you stay dis side, you da king an all da army guys goin mahke!’ ”

17 Da prieses boys, Jonathan an Ahimaaz, awready stay by da Rogel Spring nea Jerusalem, cuz no good somebody see dem go inside da town. Weneva get message, one worka girl go dea fo tell dem an dey go tell King David. 18 But one young guy see da two guys, an go tell Absalom. So da two guys go way real fas an go by da house a one guy inside Bahurim town. He get one puka fo watta inside his open lanai, an dey climb down inside dea. 19 Dat guy wife take da cloth dey use fo cova da puka fo watta, an bring some wheat dey wen poun awready an put um on top da cloth. An nobody know wat she wen do.

20 Wen Absalom guys come by da wahine inside da house, dey aks, “Ahimaaz an Jonathan, wea dey stay?”

Da wahine tell um, “Dey go da odda side a da stream.” So da guys look fo dem ova dea, but dey no find nobody. So dey go back Jerusalem.

21 Afta da two Absalom guys go way, da two odda guys climb outa da puka, an go tell King David, “Erybody! Go way from hea, quick! Go da odda side a da Jordan Riva right now! Ahitofel wen tell dem fo attack you guys awready!” 22 So David an all da army guys wit him go out an go da odda side a da Jordan Riva. Wen da sun come up, nobody stay da west side a da riva.

23 Wen Ahitofel find out dat Absalom no do wat Ahitofel wen tell um fo do, Ahitofel saddle his donkey an go his house inside his home town. He make eryting ready so da peopo dat live wit him know wat fo do. Den, he go hang himself! Az how he mahke. His peopo bury him inside da tomb wea dey wen bury his faddah befo time.

24 Laytas, afta David go Mahanaim town, Absalom an all da Israel guys, dey go da odda side a da Jordan Riva too. 25 Absalom wen pick his cousin Amasa fo stay in charge a his army, an he no pick Joab. Amasa faddah, one guy name Jeter. He one Israel guy. Amasa muddah, Abigail, Nahash girl an Zeruiah sistah, she Joab muddah. 26 Da Israel guys an Absalom make camp inside da Gilead districk.

27 Wen David come Mahanaim town, Shobi, Nahash boy from Rabbah, da town fo da Ammon peopo, an Makir, Ammiel boy from Lo-Debar, an Barzillai da guy from da Gilead peopo from Rogelim, 28 dey bring plenny blanket, bowl, an clay pot. An dey bring wheat an barley, an flour, an wheat an barley dat dey wen toast, beans, an lentils, 29 honey an sof cheese, sheeps, an cheese from da cow milk fo David an his army guys eat. Cuz dey tell, “Da army guys stay hungry an tired an thirsty, ova hea inside da boonies.”

18

Absalom Mahke

1 King David line up da army guys dat stay wit him, an pick da ones fo come da leadas fo tousan guys, an fo hundred guys. 2 David broke up his army in three parts. David nephew Joab stay in charge a one part, Joab braddah Abishai in charge a one part, an Ittai da guy from Gat town in charge a one part.

David tell da army guys, “I goin march out wit you guys.”

3 But da army guys tell, “Eh Boss! You betta not go out. If us gotta run away, dat no matta fo da Absalom guys. Even if half a us guys mahke, dat no matta fo dem. Right now, you da one dey like kill, mo den ten tousan a us guys. Mo betta now you help us from inside Mahanaim town.”

4 Da king tell dem, “Kay den. I goin do wat you guys tink az mo betta fo me do.”

So da king stan by da town gate wen da guys march out wit hundreds a guys an tousans a guys. 5 Da king tell Joab, Abishai, an Ittai, “Eh! Go easy on da young guy Absalom cuz a me!” An all da army guys too, hear da king tell da main leadas dey gotta go easy on Absalom.

6 David army guys march out in da country side fo fight da Israel guys. An dey fight um dea, inside da Efraim fores. 7 Ova dea, David guys win ova da Israel army guys, an twenny tousan guys mahke dat time. 8 Dis wat wen happen: Da Israel army guys fight all ova da country side an mo plenny guys mahke cuz da fores eat up mo plenny guys den David army guys wen kill.

9 Absalom spock some a David guys. He stay ride his mule fo run away. But wen da mule go unda da thick branches from one big oak tree, Absalom head come stuck inside da tree branches. He stay hang ova dea cuz his mule stay go an no stop.

10 One a David guys see dat, an he tell Joab, “Eh! I jus now see Absalom stay hanging from one oak tree.”

11 Befo da guy pau tell dat, Joab tell um, “Wot?! You wen see him lidat?! How come you neva wack um down an kill um right den an dea?! Cuz you neva do dat, I no goin give you ten piece silva, an one fancy kine sword belt!”

12 But da guy tell, “Even if dey put tousan piece silva inside my hand, no way I goin hurt da king boy. Cuz all us guys wen hear wen da king tell you an Abishai an Ittai wat you gotta do. He wen tell you, ‘Make shua my boy no mahke!’ 13 But if I kill da king boy—an dass someting I not suppose to do—cuz I figga you no goin stay by me fo help me! But me, I goin mahke cuz no mo nobody can hide notting from da king.”

14 Joab tell, “I no goin wase time lidis fo you.” So he grab three short spear, an go poke Absalom inside da ches wen Absalom still yet stay alive an stay hang from da oak tree branches. 15 An ten a Joab army guys dat carry his body armor make one circle aroun Absalom, wack him some moa, an kill um.

16 Den Joab tell one guy fo blow da sheep horn trumpet, an da army guys come back from chase da Israel guys, cuz Joab tell um fo stop. 17 Dey take Absalom body, throw um inside one big hole undaneat da trees, an pile up plenny rocks on top him. Same time, all da Israel army guys run back home.

18 Befo time, wen Absalom still yet stay alive, he put up one big pos inside King Valley fo da peopo no foget him. Cuz he tink, “I no mo one boy dat can come king an make erybody no foget me.” Az why he name da pos fo him, an da peopo call um da Absalom Monument till today.

David Stay Sore Inside

19 Den Zadok boy Ahimaaz tell, “Let me run to da king! I goin make da king feel good inside wen I tell um dat Da One In Charge wen show dat da king stay right, cuz he win ova a da guys dat wen go agains him.”

20 Joab tell him, “No! You not da right guy fo tell da king good stuff today. You can do um anodda time.” He tell um dat cuz da king boy mahke.

21 Den Joab tell one guy from Sudan dat work fo David, “You go tell da king wat you wen see.” Da Sudan guy go down in front Joab, den he run fo go by David.

22 Ahimaaz, Zadok boy, tell Joab one mo time, “Wateva happen, try let me run fo back up da Sudan guy.”

But Joab tell, “Eh, boy, how come you like run?! Da kine stuff you gotta tell, nobody goin pay you fo dat.”

23 He tell, “Wateva happen, I like run!”

So Joab tell, “Gunfunnit! Den run!” So Ahimaaz cut short aroun thru da flat land nea da Jordan Riva, an come Mahanaim town befo da Sudan guy.

24 David stay sit in da middo a da inside gate an da outside gate. Da watcha guy go on top da roof fo da gate, by da top a da wall. Wen he look, he see one guy dat stay run wit nobody. 25 Da watcha guy yell to da king fo tell um.

Da king tell, “If he stay wit nobody, den he goin tell us good kine stuff.” An da guy come mo an mo nea.

26 Den da watcha guy see anodda guy stay running, so he yell down to da guy dat take kea da gate, “Look, anodda guy stay run wit nobody!”

Da king tell, “Den he goin tell good kine stuff too!”

27 Da watcha guy tell, “Da way how da firs guy run, he run jalike Ahimaaz, Zadok boy!”

Da king tell, “He one good guy. He stay come fo tell good kine stuff.”

28 Den Ahimaaz yell to da king, “Eryting stay good!” He go down in front da king an put his face on top da groun.

29 Da king aks, “Da young guy Absalom, he stay good, o wat?!”

Ahimaaz tell him, “I see erybody donno wat fo do, jus wen Joab stay ready fo sen me an da odda guy dat work fo you. But I donno wat was happening.”

30 Da king tell, “Stan by da side an wait ova hea.” So Ahimaaz go one side an stan ova dea.

31 Right den, da Sudan guy come an tell, “My boss da king, lissen dis good kine stuff! Today, Da One In Charge wen let us win ova all da guys dat wen go agains you!”

32 Da king aks da Sudan guy, “Da young guy Absalom, he stay good, o wat?!”

Da Sudan guy tell, “My boss da king, I like all da guys dat stay agains you, an erybody dat do stuff fo hurt you, come jalike dat young guy!”

33 Da king come all bum out, cuz den he know Absalom mahke. He go up inside da room ova da town gate an cry plenny. Wen he stay going, he tell, “Bummahs! My boy, Absalom! My boy, my boy, Absalom! Mo betta I wen mahke, an not you! Bummahs! My boy, my boy, Absalom!”

19

1 Somebody tell Joab, “Da king stay cry an stay sad inside cuz a Absalom.” 2 An so all da army guys, no matta dey wen win, dat time dey start fo stay sad inside too cuz dey hear, “Da king hurt plenny inside cuz a his boy.” 3 Dat day da army guys ony sneak inside Mahanaim town cuz dey no like nobody see um. Dey stay shame cuz dey run away from da war.

4 Da king put his hands fo cova his face an cry real loud, “Bummahs! My boy, Absalom! Bummahs! Absalom, my boy, my boy!”

I like God punish me plenny, if from right now till you mahke, mo betta you be da main leada guy fo my army. Cuz Joab not da main leada no moa!’ ”

14 Wat David tell, change da mind a all da Judah peopo fo dem all tink da same way. Dey sen somebody fo tell da king, “Go come back, you an all yoa guys!”

15 Wen King David stay come back, an he reach da Jordan Riva, da Judah guys go Gilgal fo meet him an bring him to da Jerusalem side a da Jordan Riva. 16 ✡Shimei, Gera boy from da Benjamin ohana, dat live Bahurim, he rush an go down to da riva wit da Judah guys fo meet King David. 17 Wen Shimei go, one tousan Benjamin guys go wit him. An Ziba, da boss guy fo Saul ohana, wit his fifteen boys an twenny worka guys go real fas da Jordan Riva, befo da king come dea. 18 Dey all cross ova da odda side a da riva wea da peopo go across, fo help da king ohana come back from ova dea an do wateva he like do.

22 But David tell Abishai, “Aah, you guys, Zeruiah my sistah boys! Erytime, you guys no tink same same wit me! Today you ack jalike da guys dat go agains me! You tink today one good time fo kill one Israel guy, o wat?! No way! You tink I donno dat today, I da one stay king ova all da Israel peopo fo real kine!”

23 So da king make one strong promise to Shimei dat he no goin kill um.

David Help Mefiboshet

24 ✡Mefiboshet, Saul grankid, he go down by da Jordan Riva fo give his aloha to da king. From da time da king wen go way till wen he come back safe, Mefiboshet neva take kea his feets o fix his mustache o wash his clotheses, jus fo show he stay sad inside.

40 Da king go da odda side an reach Gilgal town, an Kimham go wit him. All da army guys from Judah an half da army guys from Israel take da king da odda side.

(1 Records 21:1-17)

1 Anodda time, Da One In Charge come huhu wit da Israel peopo. So den he make David stay agains dem too. Da One In Charge tell, “Go count da Israel an Judah guys.”

2 Az why da king tell Joab, da main army leada guy dat stay wit him, “Go all ova by da Israel ohanas from Dan da north side, to Beer-Sheba da south side. Count da guys dat can fight fo me know how many guys get.”

3 But Joab tell da king, “I like yoa God, Da One In Charge, make you get one hundred times mo guys too. An I like you, my boss da king, see um happen. But how come you like make lidis, aah?”

4 But wat da king tell, mo strong den wat Joab an da main army leada guys tell. Az why dey go way from da king fo write down da names, an count all da guys inside Israel dat can fight fo da king.

5 Afta dey go da odda side a da Jordan Riva, dey make camp nea Aroer, south a da town dat stay inside da gulch, an den dey go thru da Gad ohana land, an den Jazer town. 6 Dey go Gilead side, da land aroun Tahtim-Hodshi, an den Dan an Jaan, an from dea aroun by Sidon town. 7 Den dey go Tyre, da big town dat get strong wall, an all da towns fo da Hiv peopo an da Canaan peopo. In da end, dey go way from dea an go da south side a da Judah land to Beer-Sheba town.

8 Wen dey pau go all ova da land, dey come back Jerusalem side, afta nine month an twenny days.

9 Joab tell da king get plenny guys fo fight. Inside Israel get eight hundred tousan strong guys dat know how fo use sword, an inside Judah get five hundred tousan.

10 Laytas, David feel bad afta he wen count da guys dat can fight.

11 Befo David get up da nex morning, Da One In Charge give one message to Gad, one guy dat talk fo him: 12 “Go tell David, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: I get three ways fo punish you. You pick one!’ ”

13 Az why Gad go by David an tell um, “Get three ways. You can get three year wen no mo food inside yoa land. O, you get three month wen you gotta run away from all da odda peopo dat stay agains you. O, you get three days wen goin get one real bad kine sick inside yoa land. Kay den, tink bout da three tings. Den tell me wat fo tell da One dat wen sen me.”

14 David tell Gad, “Bummahs! Dis hard fo me an I real sad inside! Mo betta Da One In Charge punish me how he like! Cuz he stay show us guys plenny pity awready! Mo betta da peopo not da ones fo punish me!”

15 So Da One In Charge sen da real bad kine sick on top da Israel peopo from dat morning till da three days pau. An seventy tousan peopo mahke from Dan, da north side, to Beer-Sheba, da south side. 16 But wen da killa angel stay ready fo wipe out Jerusalem, Da One In Charge pity da Jerusalem peopo an change his mind cuz he awready punish da Israel peopo plenny. He tell da angel guy dat stay kill da peopo, “Nuff awready! No kill no moa!” Da angel dat Da One In Charge wen sen stay right den an dea by da open place wea Araunah from Jebus split da junk kine stuff from da wheat.

17 Wen David see da angel dat stay kill da peopo, he tell Da One In Charge, “Eh! I da guy dat wen do dis bad kine ting! I da one wen do wass wrong! But dese guys, dey jalike sheeps! Dey neva do notting bad! Mo betta punish me an my braddahs an sistahs!”

David Build One Altar

(1 Records 21:18-26)

18 Dat day Gad go by David an tell um, “Go up dea! Build one altar! Make one sacrifice fo Da One In Charge on top da open place wea Araunah da guy from Jebus split da junks from da wheat an da barley.” 19 So David go up dea, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Gad fo tell um. 20 Wen Araunah look down da hill an see da king an his palace guys stay coming up by him, he go outside da open place an go down in front da king an put his face on top da groun.

21 Araunah tell, “Eh! You my boss da king! How come you come by me, yoa worka guy?”

David tell, “Fo buy yoa open place wea you split da junks from da wheat an barley, fo me build one altar ova hea fo Da One In Charge. Den da real bad kine sick dat kill da peopo no goin be no moa.”

22 Araunah tell David, “You, my boss da king. You can take wateva you like fo make da sacrifice. Hea get cows fo da burn up kine sacrifice, an wood tools an yokes fo da wood fo burn. 23 You, da king, an me, Araunah, I give you all dis.”

24 But da king tell Araunah, “No way I goin jus take um, lidat! I gotta pay you fo um. No good I make one burn up kine sacrifice fo my God, Da One In Charge, dat no cost me notting.”

Az why David buy da open place fo split da junks from da wheat an barley, an he pay fifty piece silva fo da cows. 25 David build one altar fo Da One In Charge ova dea. He make burn up kine sacrifices. He make da kine sacrifices dat show dat God an da peopo stay tight wit each odda. Den Da One In Charge do wat David wen pray fo him do fo da Israel peopo.

18 Batsheba tell him, “Kay den, I go talk to da King fo you.”

19 So Batsheba go by King Solomon, fo talk to him fo Adonijah. Wen she come inside, da King stan up fo tell her aloha, den he go down in front her. He sit down on top his throne, an he tell his helpa guys fo bring anodda throne cuz she da King Muddah.

21 Batsheba tell, “Go let yoa braddah Adonijah marry Abishag da Shunam wahine.”

22 King Solomon tell his muddah, “Wot! How come you aks me fo let Abishag da Shunam wahine marry Adonijah?! Jalike you stay aks me fo make him da King! Cuz he my older braddah. O same ting jalike you aks me fo make Abiatar da Main Pries, an Joab Zeruiah boy da main army guy!”

23 Den King Solomon make one strong promise to Da One In Charge. He tell, “If I no go do wat I tell now, I like God kill me, o do mo worse tings! Dis Adonijah guy goin mahke, cuz he tell you fo come tell me dat! 24 Fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, an he da One make me strong, an make me sit down on top da same throne jalike my faddah David. An I stay shua dat he wen make me one promise dat da Kings fo da Israel peopo goin come from my blood.

But I no goin kill you today, cuz you wen help carry da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge a me, in front my faddah David, an cuz you wen suffa all da time my faddah wen suffa.” 27 ✡Den Solomon throw out Abiatar, an no let um be one pries fo Da One In Charge. All dis wen happen jalike wat Da One In Charge wen tell befo time bout da pries guys from da Eli ohana, Shiloh side.

Joab

28 Joab wen hear wat wen happen. (Befo time, Joab wen push Adonijah fo come King, but he neva push Absalom.) Joab run to da Tent Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge, an he grab da tings jalike horns dat stick out from da four corna a da altar. 29 Somebody tell King Solomon, “Joab wen run to da Tent Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge. Now he stay by da altar fo nobody go kill him!”

Den Solomon tell Benaiah, Jehoiada boy, fo go ova dea. Solomon tell um, “Go. Wipe out Joab.”

30 So Benaiah go da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge, an he tell Joab, “Da King tell, come outside.”

But Joab tell, “No. I go mahke right hea.”

Benaiah go back by da King an tell um wat Joab wen tell him.

31 Da King tell Benaiah, “Go kill Joab, jalike he tell, an bury him, so dat me an my faddah peopo no goin get da blame. Cuz Joab wen make plenny peopo bleed an mahke, fo no reason. 32 Cuz Joab wen make peopo bleed an mahke, now Da One In Charge pay back Joab. Joab wen go attack an kill two guys, an my faddah neva know wat Joab do till afta. One guy Abner, Ner boy, da general fo da Israel army, an da odda, Amasa, Jeter boy, da general fo da Judah army. Dey mo betta guys den Joab, an dey stay do da right ting mo den Joab. 33 Dese two guys mahke, an Joab get da blame fo dat, an erybody dat come from him, get da blame too. But fo David an da peopo dat come from him, an his ohana, an fo da kings dat goin come from David, Da One In Charge goin make eryting come good fo dem, foeva.”

39 But afta three year, two guys dat was slaves fo Shimei run away. Dey go Gat side, by King Akish, Maakah boy.

Cuz dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell. He tell, ‘Lissen up! I goin take away da right from Solomon fo be da king! An I goin give you ten a da Israel ohanas. Az why I stay broke dis robe fo make small pieces. 32 Cuz I get respeck fo my worka guy David, an fo Jerusalem town, da place I wen pick from all da Israel ohana land, get one ohana goin stay wit da David ohana. 33 Az cuz da Israel peopo wen leave me. Solomon go pray to Ashtoret da wahine god fo da Sidon peopo, an Kemosh da god fo da Moab peopo, an Molek da god fo da Ammon peopo. He no live da way I tell um fo live. He no do da tings dat I tell stay right. He no do wat I tell um he gotta do. He no lissen me, da real Judge. Solomon no make jalike David, his faddah, cuz David do all dat da right way.

Dat time, no mo food Samaria side, an hard fo da peopo dea. 3 Wen Elijah stay on da road fo go Samaria side, King Ahab tell his worka guy Obadiah fo come by him. (Obadiah stay in charge a Ahab palace, an he one guy dat get awesome respeck fo Da One In Charge. 4 Befo time, wen Jezebel stay kill da guys dat talk fo Da One In Charge, Obadiah wen take one hundred a dem an hide um, fifty inside one big cave, an fifty mo inside anodda cave, an he make shua dey get food an watta.) 5 Ahab tell Obadiah, “Go all ova da land. Check out all da pukas dat get watta come outa da groun, an all da valleys dat get stream wit watta. Maybe can find some grass fo da horse an mule fo dem stay alive an us no need kill any a da animals.” 6 Ahab an Obadiah half half da place dey gotta go. Ahab go one side, an Obadiah go da odda side, dey no go togedda.

7 Wen Obadiah walk down da road, Elijah meet him. Obadiah see Elijah an know dass him. So Obadiah go down on top da groun fo show respeck, an he tell Elijah, “Eh, az you fo real, my boss, Elijah?!”

8 Elijah tell, “Yeah, dis me! Go tell yoa boss, ‘Elijah stay come awready!’ ” 9 Obadiah tell, “Wat I wen do wrong, fo me gotta do dis?! Cuz if I do wat you tell me fo do, az jalike you set me up so my boss Ahab goin kill me fo shua! 10 I shua dat yoa God, Da One In Charge, stay alive, an I shua bout dis too: my boss Ahab wen sen peopo to ery country an ery king fo look fo you! An wen dey tell, ‘Elijah no stay hea,’ den Ahab make da king promise fo tell da trut dat dey no can find you. 11 An now, you tell me go tell my boss, ‘Elijah stay hea awready!’ 12 But afta I leave you, I donno wea God Spirit goin pick you up an bring you. If I go tell Ahab dat you stay hea, an he no can find you hea, he goin kill me! No matta I yoa slave guy, an I get awesome respeck fo Da One In Charge from small kid time. 13 Maybe nobody tell you, boss, wat I wen do befo time, da time Jezebel stay kill da guys dat talk fo Da One In Charge. I wen take hundred a dem an hide um inside two big cave, an make shua dey get food an watta. 14 But now, you tell me fo go tell my boss, ‘Elijah, he hea awready!’ He goin kill me fo shua!”

15 Elijah tell, “Jalike I shua dat Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies, stay alive, I shua I goin stan in front Ahab today, an I goin let him see me!”

16 Den Obadiah go fo meet Ahab. He tell Ahab wat wen happen. Den Ahab go fo meet Elijah. 17 Wen Ahab see Elijah, he tell um, “So! You da guy dat stay make trouble fo all da Israel peopo!”

18 Elijah tell, “No ways! I neva make trouble fo da Israel peopo. You an yoa faddah guy ohana wen make trouble, cuz you guys no do da tings Da One In Charge tell you fo do, an you pray to da Baal kine gods.

19 “So now, go sen peopo all ova da Israel land fo bring togedda all da peopo by me on top Mount Carmel. An bring da 450 guys dat talk fo da Baal god, an da 400 guys dat talk fo da Asherah god, dat Jezebel stay give food from her palace!” 20 So King Ahab sen guys fo go by all da Israel peopo, an fo tell da guys dat talk fo dea gods come togedda Mount Carmel.

21 On top Mount Carmel, Elijah go in front all da peopo. He tell, “You guys gotta make up yoa mind right now, one way o da odda way! If Da One In Charge stay God fo real kine, go wit him! But if Baal stay God fo real kine, go wit him!” Da peopo, dey no say notting.

22 Den Elijah tell da peopo, “Me, I da ony guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge dat neva mahke. But Baal, he get 450 guys dat talk fo him. 23 Go get two bull, one fo me an one fo dem. Let um pick da one dey like. Den dey goin kill um an cut um up an put da pieces on top da wood, but no put fire. Me, I goin do same ting wit da odda bull, an put da pieces on top da wood, but I no goin put fire too. 24 Den, you guys call yoa god name, an I goin use Da One In Charge name fo call him. Wateva god sen da fire fo show dat he stay lissen, dass da God dat stay fo real!”

All da peopo tell, “Az good, wat you tell.”

25 Elijah tell da guys dat talk fo Baal, “Get plenny a you guys, so go do um firs. Pick one a da bulls an make um ready. Den call yoa god name, but no light da fire.”

26 Da guys dat talk fo Baal take da bull Elijah wen give um an kill um fo make ready da sacrifice. Dey use Baal name fo call him. Dey do dat from morning time till noon time. Dey yell, “Eh, Baal, lissen us guys an do someting!” But dey no hear notting from Baal. Nobody tell dem notting. Den dey go dance all ova da altar dey wen build. 27 Wen come noon time, Elijah start fo mout off at dem. He tell, “Yell mo loud! Cuz Baal one god. Maybe he tink real hard bout someting, o maybe he stay inside da lua, o he go holoholo. Maybe he stay sleep, an gotta wait till he wake up!” 28 So den dey wen yell mo loud, an cut dea skin wit sword an spear, cuz dass wat dey do, till da blood come out. 29 Aftanoon time, dey do same ting. Dey make jalike da guys dat talk fo Baal suppose to make, spazzing out till evening time, wen time fo make da regula kine sacrifice. But Baal no do notting, nobody tell dem notting, nobody lissen dem.

30 Den Elijah tell all da peopo, “Go come ova hea by me!” Dey all come. He fix da altar fo make sacrifice fo Da One In Charge, dat stay broke. 31 ✡Elijah go get twelve stone, one stone fo all da twelve ohanas dat come from Jacob. (An Jacob, he da guy long time befo time get one message from God, “From now, yoa name goin be ‘Israel.’ ”) 32 Elijah use da stones fo build up da altar one mo time, fo show wat kine god Da One In Charge. He dig one big ditch aroun da altar, enuff fo plant two box seed. 33 He fix da firewood jus right, an cut up da bull an put da pieces on top da wood. 34 Den Elijah tell da peopo, “Go fill up four big pots wit watta, an pour um on top da sacrifice meat an on top da wood.” Afta dey do dat, he tell um “One mo time, same ting,” an dey go do um one mo time. He tell um, “One mo time,” an dey do um, three time. 35 Da watta go all ova da altar an fill up da ditch too. 36 Wen time fo make da sacrifice, Elijah da guy dat talk fo God go by da altar an pray lidis: “Da One In Charge, you da God fo Abraham an Isaac an Israel. Today, I like erybody know, dat you da God fo da Israel peopo, an you da boss fo me. An all dese tings I do, I do um cuz dass wat you tell me fo do. 37 Da One In Charge, do someting fo show you lissen me, so den dis peopo goin know dat you Da One In Charge, you da God dass fo real, an dat you stay make dem trus you one mo time.” 38 Right den an dea, fire from Da One In Charge come down outa da sky. Da fire burn up da sacrifice, an da wood, an da stones an da dirt, an even da watta inside da ditch.

39 Wen all da peopo see dis, dey go down an put dea face on top da groun, an dey yell, “Da One In Charge, he da God fo real kine! Da One In Charge, he da God fo real kine!”

40 Den Elijah tell da peopo, “Grab da guys dat talk fo Baal! No let even one a dem run away!” Da peopo grab dem. Elijah tell da peopo go take um down by da Kishon Stream, an he kill um all dea.

Elijah Pray Fo Da Rain Come

41 Den Elijah tell King Ahab, “You go home now, fo eat an drink. Cuz soun jalike goin get heavy rain!”

Da guy go an look. He tell, “No mo notting ova dea.”

Seven time, Elijah tell um, “Go back look!”

Den start fo rain hard. Ahab ride his war wagon fo reach Jezreel town. 46 Da One In Charge make Elijah come strong. So he pull up his robe an tie um wit his belt, den he run in front Ahab all da way to da place peopo go inside Jezreel town.

Dey sit down right in front Nabot. Dey poin finga Nabot in front all da peopo. Dey tell, “Dis Nabot, he tell he like bad tings happen to God, an to da king!” Den dey all take Nabot outside da town. Dey all throw stone at him, an he mahke.

14 Den da leada guys sen somebody by Jezebel fo tell, “Da peopo throw stone at Nabot, an he mahke awready.”

15 Wen Jezebel hear dat dey wen all throw stone an kill Nabot, she tell Ahab, “Get up. Go take ova da grape farm, da one Nabot da Jezreel guy no like sell um to you. Cuz Nabot, he no stay no moa. He mahke awready.” 16 Wen Ahab find out dat Nabot mahke, he go down take ova Nabot grape farm.

17 Den Da One In Charge give dis message fo Elijah da Tishbe guy: 18 “Go down fo meet Ahab, da king fo da Israel peopo. He live Samaria side, but right now, he stay inside da grape farm dat Nabot wen own Jezreel side. Ahab wen go down dea fo take ova da grape farm. 19 Tell dis to Ahab: ‘Dis, wat Da One In Charge tell: Fo shua, you wen kill one guy, an den you take ova his farm!’

“Den tell um dis too: ‘Dis, wat Da One In Charge tell: Da same place wea da dogs wen suck up Nabot blood, dey goin suck up yoa blood too!’ ”

20 Elijah go dea, an Ahab tell, “You da guy dat stay agains me, an now, you find me!”

Elijah tell, “Fo shua I find you, cuz you wen go sell out fo do real bad kine stuff dat Da One In Charge tell, no go do! 21 An now, Da One In Charge tell, ‘Dis me, da one dat goin punish you! I goin cut off all da peopo dat goin come from you. I goin wipe out all dem from da Israel peopo dat get yoa blood, no matta dey one slave o not one slave. 22 You know wat I wen do to da ohana dat come from Jeroboam Nebat boy. Kay den, I goin make da same ting happen fo yoa ohana! An dass da same ting I wen do to da ohana dat come from Baasha Ahijah boy too. Az cuz you wen piss me off, an you wen make da Israel peopo do real bad kine stuff.’

23 ✡“An az fo Jezebel, Da One In Charge tell dis: ‘Da dogs goin eat up Jezebel by da Jezreel town wall.’ 24 Da dogs goin eat da Ahab peopo dat mahke inside da town. Da ones dat mahke da country side, da scavenja birds goin eat um.”

25 (Neva have anodda guy like Ahab. He go sell out fo do real bad kine stuff dat Da One In Charge tell fo no do. His wife Jezebel, she push him fo make lidat. 26 Ahab wen go do real pilau kine stuff, cuz he go all out fo da idol kine gods, jalike da Amor peopo wen do. Az why Da One In Charge wen throw dem outa da land wen da Israel peopo come dea.)

27 But wen Ahab hear dis message from God, he go rip his clotheses an put on burmbag cloth nex to his skin fo show erybody he stay feel sore inside, an he no eat so he can pray. He even wear burmbag kine cloth wen he lay down sleep. Den he make real quiet wen he go aroun.

28 Den dis message come from Da One In Charge fo Elijah da Tishbe guy: 29 “You see how Ahab wen make fo come notting in front me? Cuz he do dat, I no goin make all da real bad kine stuff happen till afta Ahab mahke. But eryting I tell goin happen to da Ahab ohana afta his boy come da king.”

Jehoshafat An Ahab

1 Had three year, da Aram peopo an da Israel peopo neva make war. 2 Den, afta three year no mo war, King Jehoshafat from Judah side go fo see King Ahab, Israel side. 3 Wen Jehoshafat stay Israel side, Ahab an his helpa guys talk. He tell, “You guys know, da town Ramot Gilead, dass oua land. But da king fo da Aram peopo, he wen take um away from us befo time.

Jehoshafat tell da Israel king, “Shoots, I go! Me an you, stay real tight. My peopo an my horses, dey stay yoas.”

5 But Jehoshafat tell Ahab dis: “Firs ting, us guys gotta aks Da One In Charge if az good fo go make war, o not.” 6 Az why King Ahab tell all da guys dat talk fo his god Baal fo come togedda. Get bout 400 dem. He aks dem, “I can go make war agains Ramot Gilead town, o not?”

Dey tell um, “Go make war, King Ahab. Oua main god we pray to, goin give you da town.”

7 But Jehoshafat tell, “Ova hea, no mo one talka fo Da One In Charge, fo us find out wat Da One In Charge tink, o wat?”

8 King Ahab tell, “Still get one guy I can aks um wat Da One In Charge tink. But I hate da buggah! Weneva he talk fo Da One In Charge, he no tell me notting good! He erytime tell bad tings goin happen to me! His name, Mikaiah, Imlah boy.”

King Jehoshafat tell, “Eh, brah, no good you talk lidat!” 9 So da Israel king, Ahab, tell one a his palace guys fo come. Ahab tell um, “Quick! Go tell Mikaiah, Imlah boy, fo come right now.”

Mikaiah Tell Dat Ahab Goin Mahke

10 Da two king guys, Ahab da king fo da Israel peopo an Jehoshafat da king fo da Judah peopo, wear dea king kine robes. Dey sit on top two throne, wea you go inside da Samaria town gate. Get one wide open place dea wea da peopo come fo take da junks outa da wheat, afta dey cut da wheat down. Dis time, inside dis wide place, all da guys dat talk fo dea gods stay in front da two kings, an tell wat dea gods tell.

11 Had one a da guys dat talk fo dea gods name Zedekiah, Kenaanah boy, wen make tings dat look jalike bull horns outa iron. He tell, “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell. You goin push wit dese horns fo bus up da Aram army guys, till you wipe um out!”

12 All da odda guys dat talk fo dea gods, dey stay tell da same ting too. Dey tell, “Go attack Ramot Gilead an win da war! Cuz Da One In Charge goin give da town to oua king!”

13 Da messenja guy dat go fo tell Mikaiah fo come by da king, he tell Mikaiah, “You see how all da guys dat talk fo da odda gods tell da same ting, dat da king goin win da war?! So, good you tell da same ting jalike dem!”

14 But Mikaiah tell, “Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, I stay shua too bout da ony ting I goin tell him! Az wat Da One In Charge goin tell me!”

15 Den Mikaiah come by King Ahab. Da king aks him, “Mikaiah! We goin go attack Ramot Gilead town? O we no do notting?”

Mikaiah tell him, “Go attack um an win da war! Cuz Da One In Charge goin give da town to oua king!”

16 Da king tell um, “How many times I gotta make you promise fo tell me ony da trut, wen you talk fo Da One In Charge?!”

17 ✡Den Mikaiah tell,

“I see, jalike was one dream,

All da Israel guys running all ova da hills,

Jalike sheeps dat no mo sheep guy fo take kea dem.

Da One In Charge tell me,

‘All dis guys, no mo boss fo dem.

Let um all go home,

An let eryting come good fo dem.’ ”

18 Da Israel king tell King Jehoshafat, “Jalike I wen tell you bout dis Mikaiah guy. Weneva he talk fo Da One In Charge, he no tell me someting good goin happen to me. Ony bad kine stuff!”

19 ✡Den Mikaiah tell some moa: “Az why you betta lissen dis ting wat Da One In Charge tell!

“I wen see Da One In Charge.

He stay sit on top his throne.

All da armies inside da sky,

Dey stan aroun him, on da right side an on da lef side.

20 “Da One In Charge aks um, ‘Who goin bulai King Ahab, so he go attack Ramot Gilead town, an mahke dea?’ Some a dem tell one ting, an some tell odda tings.

21 “Den one spirit come an stan in front Da One In Charge, an tell, ‘Me, I goin bulai him.’

“Da One In Charge aks him, ‘How you goin do dat?’

22 “Da spirit tell, ‘I goin go ova dea an be one spirit dat make all da guys dat talk fo his gods bulai him wen dey talk.’

“Da One In Charge tell, ‘Good idea! You goin bulai all dem! Go, do jalike you tell!’

23 “An dass wat you see stay happen right now. Da One In Charge wen sen one spirit fo make all dese guys dat talk fo yoa gods, bulai wen dey open dea mout. Az cuz Da One In Charge tell, someting real bad goin happen to you!”

24 Den Zedekiah, Kanaanah boy, go ova dea an slap Mikaiah head. He tell, “So! How da spirit from Da One In Charge goin leave me, fo go ova dea talk to you, aah?!”

25 Mikaiah tell Zedekiah, “Fo you, you goin know I tell da trut fo real kine, wen you go run inside one room inside one house fo hide!”

26 Den da king fo da Israel peopo tell his guys, “Take Mikaiah back by Amon, da Samaria mayor guy, an by my boy Joash. 27 Tell um, ‘Dis wat da king tell: Put dis guy in jail. Give um ony litto bit jail kine bread an watta, till I come back da winna.’ ”

28 But Mikaiah tell da king, “Fo shua, if bumbye you come back an you okay, dat mean, Da One In Charge neva give me notting fo tell!” An Mikaiah tell da peopo, “Eh, all you peopo! No foget wat you wen hear!”

King Ahab Mahke

29 So, Ahab da king fo da Israel peopo an Jehoshafat da king fo da Judah peopo go togedda fo attack Ramot Gilead. 30 Ahab tell Jehoshafat, “Befo I go fight, I goin dress so nobody know who me. But you, wear yoa regula kine king robe.” So da Israel king dress so nobody know who him, an go fight.

31 Befo dey start fight, da king fo da Aram peopo tell da 32 officer guys dat in charge a his war wagons, wat dey gotta do. He tell um, “No need fight da regula army guys o da officer guys. Jus make shua you kill da one guy, Ahab da Israel king!”

32 So wen da officer guys in charge a da war wagons see Jehoshafat get da king kine robe, dey tink, “Az him! Da Israel king!” So dey turn da war wagons fo go attack him. But den Jehoshafat yell who him, 33 an da officer guys in charge a da war wagons see he not da Israel king, so dey turn away an no chase him no moa. 34 But one a da Aram army guys shoot one mo arrow, ony fo shoot. Da arrow wack Ahab da Israel king in da puka wea da front part a da body armor come togedda wit da side part. Da king tell da army guy dat drive his war wagon, “Turn aroun quick!

Da army guys bring his body back Samaria town, an dey bury him dea. 38 Da king guys take da king war wagon by one watta place Samaria side, wea da wahines dat fool aroun fo money go fo bafe. Da guys wash down da war wagon dea, an da dogs suck up da blood from da king, jalike da message from Da One In Charge wen tell befo time.

41 Now, dis, da Jehoshafat story, bout Asa boy.

Still yet, all da sacrifice place on da top a da hills still stay dea. Da peopo still stay make sacrifice fo da odda gods an burn incense dea. 44 Jehoshafat an Ahab da Israel king, dey neva fight each odda.

All da tings he wen do—how him an his army guys fight da odda kings—all dat stay write inside da Record Book Fo Da Kings Fo Judah. 46 Had guys dat fool aroun da wahines fo get money from dem fo da temples fo da odda gods, an dey still stay do dat even afta Asa was da king. Jehoshafat throw out all dem guys outa his land. 47 Dat time, da Edom peopo no mo king. Ony had one territorial govna from Jehoshafat stay in charge ova dea.

48 Jehoshafat wen do anodda ting, he tell his guys fo build plenny big boats fo carry plenny stuffs far away. He like dem go Yemen side fo bring back da Ofir kine gold dat come from ova dea. But da boats neva go dea, dey all sink Ezion-Geber side. 49 Dat time King Ahaziah, Ahab boy, tell Jehoshafat, “Let my saila guys go wit yoa saila guys inside da big boats.” But Jehoshafat neva like, so dey no go. 50 Den Jehoshafat mahke, an dey bury him by his ancesta guys inside David Town, az Jerusalem, cuz he come from King David.

So, we go ova dea by da camp fo da Aram army guys, an give up. If dey let us stay alive, den we stay alive. If dey kill us, den we mahke.”

5 Wen start fo come dark, dey stan up fo go by da Aram camp. Wen dey come jus outside da camp, dey no see nobody ova dea! 6 Az cuz da same time da sick guys leave Samaria town, da Boss wen make da Aram army guys hear plenny noise from plenny war wagons an horses, an one big army. Da army guys tell each odda, “Eh! Da Israel king wen pay da kings fo da Het peopo an da Egypt peopo fo come attack us guys!” 7 So befo come real dark, dey all get up an run away.

Ony get da horses an donkeys dat dey wen tie up. An da tents stay jalike dey wen leave um.” 11 Da guys dat watch da gates yell wat da guys wit da skin kine sick wen tell, an somebody tell da peopo inside da king palace.

12 Da king hear dis an get up nite time. He tell his officer guys, “I goin tell you wat da Aram guys stay do to us. Dey know us no mo food, Az why dey go way from dea camp an stay hide inside da country side. Dey figga, ‘Fo shua da Samaria guys goin come outside da town, an den, we can grab um wen dey stay alive, an go inside dea big town.’ ”

13 One a da officer guys tell, “Tell some guys fo take five a da horses dat stay inside da town still yet. Maybe dey not goin mahke! At leas, all da odda Israel army guys dat stay hea not goin mahke. An maybe da guys we sen get wipe out, jalike all da odda Israel army guys dat still stay hea, goin get wipe out. So we go sen dem fo find out wat wen happen.”

4 Wen da guys get da letta, dey come real sked. Dey tell, “If King Joram an King Ahaziah no can fight dis Jehu guy, how us can fight um? No way!”

6 Den Jehu write anodda letta to dem. He tell, “If you guys stay my side, an goin do wat I tell, cut off da heads from yoa boss Ahab boys, an bring um by me inside Jezreel town dis same time tomorra.”

Now da seventy boys stay wit da main leadas fo Samaria town, cuz da main leadas stay take kea dem. 7 Wen da numba two letta come, da leada guys go get da boys an kill all seventy king boys. Dey put dea heads inside clay pots, an sen dem by Jehu inside Jezreel. 8 Wen da messenja guy come from da leada guys, he tell Jehu, “Dey wen bring da King Ahab boys heads.”

Den Jehu tell, “Put dem in two piles outside da town gate, till morning time.”

Try figga bout dis: I da guy dat wen make one plan wit my guys, fo go agains my boss, an kill him. But who wen kill all dese boys? 10 So den, you guys gotta know: eryting Da One In Charge wen tell agains da Ahab ohana goin happen.

He neva pau kill dem, till no mo nobody from da Ahab peopo stay alive.

12 Den Jehu start fo go Samaria town. Befo he get dea, he come by Bet-Eked, wea da sheep guys stay. 13 He meet some ohana guys from Ahaziah, da Judah king, dea. He aks um, “Who you guys?”

Dey tell, “Us guys, from da Ahaziah ohana, an we stay come down hea fo tell ‘howzit’ to King Jehoram boys an Queen Jezebel boys.”

18 Den Jehu bring all da peopo togedda an tell um, “Ahab wen work fo Baal litto bit. But me, Jehu, I goin work fo Baal mo plenny! 19 Now go tell all da guys dat talk fo Baal, all da guys dat do stuff fo him, an all his pries guys, fo come hea by me. Make shua erybody come. Cuz I goin make one big sacrifice fo Baal. Anybody no come, dey no goin live no moa.” But Jehu ony was making one sly kine plan fo wipe out da guys dat work fo Baal.

20 Jehu tell, “Make one spesho religious day fo show respeck fo Baal. Tell all da peopo fo come.” So da guys dat do stuff fo Baal, dey tell da peopo dis. 21 Den Jehu sen messenja guys all ova Israel, an all da guys dat do stuff fo Baal come. No mo nobody stay home, dey all come. Dey all go inside da temple fo Baal, so stay full from one side to da odda side.

22 Den Jehu tell da guy dat stay in charge a da spesho clotheses fo bring robes fo all da guys dat work fo Baal. So dey bring out robes fo all a dem.

23 Den Jehu an Jehonadab, Rekab boy, go inside da temple fo Baal. Jehu tell da guys dat work fo Baal, “Look aroun, an make shua no mo guys dat do stuff fo Da One In Charge inside hea wit you guys, ony guys dat do stuff fo Baal.” 24 So erybody go inside fo make plenny sacrifice, regula kine an burn up kine.

But befo dey do all dis, Jehu wen put eighty guys outside da Temple Fo Baal. He tell dem, “If even one a da guys dat I wen give you guys da kuleana fo kill, come out hea, da guy dat let him get out goin mahke fo dat.”

25 So wen Jehu pau make da burn up kine sacrifice, he tell da guards an da officer guys fo his army: “Go inside, kill all dem. No let nobody get outa dea.” So dey kill all dem wit dea swords. Da guard guys an da officer guys throw da bodies outside. Den da army guys go inside da mos spesho part a da temple fo Baal. 26 Dey bring da kapu poses outa da temple fo Baal, an burn um. 27 Dey broke down da Baal kapu poses an bus up da Baal temple. Den peopo start fo use da place fo one lua, an dass how stay still yet.

28 Dass how Jehu stop da peopo from go down in front da god Baal. From dat time, nobody go down in front Baal fo pray no mo inside Israel.

29 ✡But Jehu, he neva tell “Laytas” to da bad kine stuff dat Jeroboam, Nebat boy, wen make da Israel peopo do. Da Israel peopo still stay go down in front da gold kine bebe cows dat Jeroboam put Bethel side an Dan side.

30 Da One In Charge tell Jehu, “Good, wat you wen do! You wen do wat stay right da way I see um. You wen do to da Ahab ohana eryting I wen like do to dem! Cuz a dat, yoa kids goin sit on top da Israel throne fo four generation.” 31 But Jehu neva go do all wat da rules tell, dat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, wen give um. He neva tell “Laytas” to da bad kine stuff dat Jeroboam wen do, an dat Jeroboam wen make da Israel peopo do.

But da ol bronze altar, dat goin be ony fo me use fo find out wat Da One In Charge like fo me do.” 16 Uriah da pries do eryting jalike King Ahaz wen tell um fo do.

Hoshea, Da Las Israel King

(2 Kings 18:9-12)

1 Wen Ahaz stay da Judah king fo twelve year, Hoshea, Elah boy, come da Israel king inside Samaria town. He stay king fo nine year. 2 Da way Da One In Charge see um, he do bad kine stuff, but not real bad kine stuff jalike da Israel kings dat stay befo him.

3 Shalmaneser, da Assyria king dat time, wen come wit his army guys fo attack Hoshea. Az how Hoshea come one small kine king unda Shalmaneser, an ery year, Hoshea gotta pay Shalmaneser plenny. 4 But layta, da Assyria king find out dat Hoshea make one plan wit some odda guys fo bulai him. He know az one bulai, cuz he find out Hoshea wen sen messenja guys fo make one deal wit King So, Egypt side. Ery year befo dat, Hoshea wen pay da Assyria king. But dis year, he no pay um no moa. Cuz a dat, Shalmaneser grab Hoshea an put him in prison.

5 Den da Assyria king go attack da whole Israel land. He put his army guys all aroun Samaria town, an no let nobody go inside o come outside fo three year. 6 Wen Hoshea stay king fo nine year, da Assyria king take ova Samaria town, an make da Israel peopo go Assyria side fo live. He make some a dem live Halah side, some a dem by da Habor Riva dat go by Gozan, an da res inside da towns wea da Mede peopo live.

Da Israel Peopo Come Prisonas
Cuz Dey Wen Do Bad Kine Stuff

7 All dat wen happen cuz da Israel peopo show mo respeck fo da odda gods, but not fo Da One In Charge. Dey wen do bad kine stuff agains dea God, Da One In Charge, no matta he da One wen bring dem outa Egypt befo time, fo da Egypt king, da Pharaoh guy, no mo powa ova dem no moa. 8 Da One In Charge wen throw out da diffren peopos from da land befo time, fo da Israel peopo come take ova um. But still yet, dey come jalike dose odda peopos an ack jalike dem. Dey even do da kine tings dat da Israel kings do too. 9 Da Israel peopo wen do shame kine stuff an try fo hide um, cuz az not okay wit dea God, Da One In Charge. From da small towns dat ony get one watch towa, to da big towns dat get strong wall aroun dem, da peopo build places on top da hills fo make sacrifice fo da odda gods, nea all dea towns. 10 ✡Dey put up big kine stone fo dem pray to um. Dey put poses fo da wahine god Asherah on top ery high hill an unda ery big tree dat get plenny leaf. 11 Dey burn incense on top ery sacrifice place dey make on top da hills, jalike da peopos dat Da One In Charge wen kick out wen da Israel peopo come dea. Dey do real bad kine stuff fo make Da One In Charge come huhu. 12 Dey pray to da idol kine gods, no matta Da One In Charge wen tell dem, “You guys betta not make lidat.” 13 Da One In Charge wen tell all da guys dat talk fo him, an all da guys dat get dream an know wat goin happen, “Tell da Israel an Judah peopo, ‘No go do da bad kine stuff you stay do no moa! Do wat I wen tell you guys fo do, da tings you suppose to do, jalike all my Rules tell. Dis da Rules I wen give yoa ancesta guys, an dis wat I wen sen my guys dat talk fo me fo tell you guys.’ ”

14 But da peopo, dey make deaf ear an no like lissen. Dey hard head jalike dea ancesta guys, dat no trus dea God, Da One In Charge. 15 Dey no do wat God tell um dey suppose to do, an dey no keep da deal dat he wen make wit dea ancesta guys. Wen God tell um bad kine stuff goin happen, dey no lissen. Dey stay tight wit da idol kine gods dat ony wase time, an dey come wase time jalike dea gods too. Dey copy da odda nations aroun dem, no matta Da One In Charge tell um fo no make lidat!

16 ✡Da peopo no lissen all da tings dea God, Da One In Charge, wen tell um fo do. Dey even make two idol kine gods from metal fo dem pray to, dat look jalike bebe cows. Dey set up poses fo da wahine god Asherah. Dey go down in front da sun an moon an all da stars inside da sky jalike dey gods, an dey let da Baal god be dea boss. 17 ✡Dey throw dea boys an girls inside da fire fo make one sacrifice. Dey look fo one sign bout wat goin happen bumbye, an try fo find out from dea gods wat goin happen. Dey real hard head an do real bad kine stuff, da way Da One In Charge see um, fo make Da One In Charge come real huhu.

18 So Da One In Charge come real huhu wit da Israel peopo, an cut dem off from him. Ony da Judah ohana he wen keep!

19 But even da Judah ohana neva do da tings dea God, Da One In Charge, tell um fo do. Dey do da same bad kine stuff dat da Israel peopo wen show dem.

20 Az why Da One In Charge come plenny huhu an cut off da Israel peopo from him. He let da steala guys rip off dea stuffs, all da time till he kick dem outa da land wea he stay.

21 Befo time, da Israel peopo north side get dea king guys from da David ohana. But Da One In Charge wen cut off da Israel peopo from da David ohana. So den dey make Jeroboam, Nebat boy, dea king. An Jeroboam wen make da Israel peopo no stay tight wit Da One In Charge, an make dem do plenny real bad kine stuff. 22 Da Israel peopo still stay do all da same bad kine stuff dat Jeroboam do. Dey no change how dey ack, 23 till Da One In Charge kick out da Israel peopo from wea he stay. Befo time, he tell all da talka guys dat work fo him, fo tell um dat goin happen. Dass how come da Israel peopo gotta go way from dea land an come prisonas inside da Assyria land. Dey stay ova dea still yet.

Da Assyria Guys Bring In
New Peopo Samaria Side

24 Da Assyria king wen bring in new peopo from Babylon, Kutah, Avva, Hamat, an Sefarvaim. He make all dem live inside da towns Samaria side wea da Israel peopo wen live befo time. Dey take ova Samaria town an make house dea, an dey live inside da odda Israel towns too. 25 Da time dose odda peopos start fo live dea, dem too neva show respeck fo Da One In Charge. So Da One In Charge put lions in dea wea dey stay, an da lions wen kill some a da peopo.

26 Den dey tell da Assyria king dis: “You know da peopos from all ova da place you wen bring in fo dem live inside da Samaria towns? Dey donno wat kine rules da god fo dat land ova dea tell dey gotta make shua dey do. So he stay sen lions ova dea wea dey stay. An now, da lions stay kill da peopo, cuz no mo nobody dea dat know wat da god fo dat land tell dey gotta do.”

27 Den da Assyria king tell his govmen guys fo do dis: “Go get one a da pries guys dat you wen take away from Samaria. Make him an his wife an kids go back an live ova dea. He goin show da peopo dea how fo do wat da god fo dat land tell dey gotta do.” 28 So one a da pries guys dat da Assyria guys wen take away from Samaria town wen go back an make house Bethel town. He da one stay show da peopo ova dea how fo show respeck fo Da One In Charge.

29 But same time, all da diffren peopos dat da Assyria guys bring Israel side, dey still make dea idol kine gods inside all da towns wea dey live. Dey put dea gods on top da sacrifice places dat da Samaria peopo wen make befo time on top all da hills. 30 Da guys from Babylon side make Sukkot-Benot kine idol, da guys from Kutah make Nergal kine idol, an da guys from Hamat make Ashima kine idol. 31 Da Avva peopo make Nivkaz an Tartak kine idol, an da Sefarvaim peopo kill dea kids an burn up da bodies in da fire fo make sacrifice fo Adrammelek an Anammelek, da Sefarvaim gods. 32 Da new peopo from odda places, same ting, dey show respeck fo Da One In Charge. But dey pick peopo from all ova dea land too, fo make dem da pries guys fo da sacrifice places on top da hills. 33 Da One In Charge, az ony one a da gods dey get respeck fo, but dey get respeck fo dea gods too. Dass wat all dose peopo wen do inside da land dey come from, befo da Assyria king make um move house to da Israel country.

34 ✡Till today, dose odda peopos still do da same ting dey wen do befo time. Dey no show respeck fo Da One In Charge fo real kine. Dey no stay do wat God tell dey gotta do. Dey no do wat God Da Judge tell az right. Dey no stay stick wit da rules dat Da One In Charge wen give da Jacob ohana, an give um da name Israel. 35 ✡Wen Da One In Charge make da deal wit da Israel peopo long time befo time, he tell dem dis: “No go show respeck fo odda kine gods! No go down in front dem! No let dem be yoa boss! No make sacrifice fo dem! 36 ✡Me, Da One In Charge, I da one wen bring you guys ova hea, outa da Egypt land, cuz I get plenny powa, an I wen use um dat time. Me, da one you gotta show respeck fo. You gotta go down in front me, an make sacrifice fo me. 37 You guys gotta do wat I tell you gotta do. You gotta do wat I tell az right, cuz I da Judge. You gotta stick wit da rules an do wat I tell you dat you gotta do, an make shua you do eryting dat I wen write down fo you guys, an do um foeva. No go show respeck fo da odda kine gods! 38 No foget da deal I wen make wit you, an no go show respeck fo da odda kine gods! 39 But fo me, yoa God, Da One In Charge, you gotta show plenny respeck! Cuz I da One goin get you guys outa trouble from all da peopo dat go agains you guys.”

40 But da peopo still no like lissen. Dey still stay do all da kine ting dey wen do da place dey wen live befo time. 41 No matta dese peopo from odda country stay show respeck fo Da One In Charge, but da same time dey make da idol kine gods dea boss. Jalike today, dea kids an grankids still stay do jalike dea ancesta guys wen do.

Dey broke da deal wit him, an no do eryting dat Moses, da guy dat wen work fo Da One In Charge, tell um dey gotta do. Dey no lissen wat Da One In Charge tell, an dey no do um.

Sennakerib Make Tantaran

(Isaiah 36:1-22; 2 Records 32:9-19)

17 Den da Assyria king sen one a da main general guys, da govmen guy dat stay ova da territorial govna guys, an da territorial govna guy, wit one big army. Dey go from Lakish an go by King Hezekiah in Jerusalem. Wen dey come Jerusalem town, dey stop by da watta ditch dat take da watta to da Mauka Watta Place, by da road fo da field wea dey put da clotheses inside da watta an step um fo make um come clean. 18 Da Assyria guys call fo King Hezekiah come by dem.

Da Egypt guys, jalike one small splinta from one bamboo dat get smash, dat poke yoa hand an make you sore if you lean on top um! Az how plenny Pharaoh, da Egypt king, goin help all you guys dat trus him!

22 “ ‘An if you guys tell me, “We trus oua God, Da One In Charge,” how come Hezekiah wen take away his sacrifice places on top da hills, an his altars?! Cuz Hezekiah stay tell da Judah an Jerusalem peopo, “Dis da ony altar inside Jerusalem wea you guys can pray!”

23 “ ‘Go come now! We go bet! I bet you, you no can find enuff guys fo ride 2,000 horse. Cuz if you can chance um, den my boss, da Assyria king, goin give you da 2,000 horse! 24 An if you no can do dat, how you tink you goin stan up in front even one small kine officer an his army guys from my boss?! Fo shua, you no can! So, how come you trus da Egypt guys fo sen war wagons an horse rida guys?! You all jam up! 25 An one mo ting: You tink Da One In Charge neva tell me fo go afta dis place, an wipe um out?! Was Da One In Charge da one wen tell me fo march agains dis land, an wipe um out.’ ”

26 Den Eliakim, Hilkiah boy, an Shebna an Joah tell da territorial govna guy, “We know you da boss, but try talk yoa Aramaic language to us guys, cuz us guys undastand um. No talk oua Hebrew language to us Judea guys, wea da peopo on top da wall can hear um.”

27 But da territorial govna guy tell um, “Wen my boss sen me ova hea fo tell dis stuff, you guys tink az ony fo yoa boss guys, an fo you guys?! You tink no was fo da guys dat stay sit ova dea on top da wall too?! Bumbye, goin come mo bad, dat dey goin eat dea doodoo an drink dea shishi, an you guys goin do da same ting too!”

28 Den da territorial govna guy stan up an make mo big, an wit da Hebrew language yell: “Lissen wat da Big King, da King fo Assyria, tell! 29 Dis wat oua king tell: No let Hezekiah bulai you guys. He no mo powa fo get you guys outa my powa. 30 No let Hezekiah make you guys trus Da One In Charge, wen he tell: ‘Da One In Charge goin get us outa dis fo shua. Da Assyria king no goin take ova Jerusalem town!’

31 “No lissen Hezekiah! Cuz dis wat da Assyria king tell: Make good wit me, an come out by me. Den all you guys goin eat fruits from yoa grape plants an fig trees, an drink from yoa pukas fo get watta, 32 An goin stay lidis, till I come an move you guys to one diffren land dat stay jalike yoa land, da kine land wea get wheat an new wine, bread an grape farms, wit olive trees fo make oil, an honey. So, make up yoa mind wat you like! You guys like live, o you guys like mahke?

“But no lissen Hezekiah, cuz he like make you guys tink diffren kine, wen he tell, ‘Da One In Charge goin get us outa dis.’ 33 No mo even one peopo, wea dea god get dea land outa da Assyria king powa! 34 Wea was da gods fo da Hamat an Arpad peopos?! Wea was da gods fo da Sefarvaim, Hena, an Ivvah peopos? You tink da Samaria gods wen get da Samaria peopo outa my powa? No way! 35 From all da gods fo dose lands, no mo even one god wen get dea land outa my powa! So, how you tink Da One In Charge goin get Jerusalem town outa my powa?!”

36 But da peopo no talk notting. Dey no say notting to da Assyria guy, cuz King Hezekiah wen tell dem, “No talk to him.”

37 Den Eliakim, Hilkiah boy, da guy in charge a da palace kine biznis, Shebna da secretary, an Joah, Asaf boy, da guy dat write da records, go by Hezekiah. Dey rip dea clotheses fo show dey sore inside, an tell him wat da territorial govna guy wen tell dem.

19

God Goin Get Jerusalem Outa Trouble

(Isaiah 37:1-13; 2 Records 32:20-22)

1 Wen King Hezekiah hear dat, he rip his clotheses, put on burmbag kine clotheses fo show he stay sad inside, den he go inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 2 He sen Eliakim, da guy dat stay in charge a da palace kine biznis, Shebna da secretary, an da Main Pries guys, an dey all stay wear burmbag kine clotheses too, fo go by Isaiah, Amoz boy, da guy dat talk fo God. 3 Dey tell Isaiah, “Dis wat Hezekiah tell: Us stay supa presha out today an hard time us get! Da One In Charge stay punish us guys. Us come shame in front da odda peopos! Az jalike one bebe goin born, but da muddah not strong enuff fo born um. 4 Maybe yoa God, Da One In Charge, hear eryting da territorial govna guy from Assyria wen tell. His boss, da Assyria king, wen sen him ova hea fo make fun a Da God Dat Stay Alive, an he stay talk bad bout him. Maybe Da One In Charge goin punish him cuz a wat he wen tell. Az why I aks you, Isaiah, fo pray fo all us guys dat still stay alive.”

5 Afta King Hezekiah guys come tell Isaiah dat, 6 Isaiah tell um, “Dis wat you guys gotta tell yoa boss: ‘Da One In Charge tell: No stay sked cuz a wat you wen hear—bout da guys from da Assyria king dat wen talk bad bout me. 7 Cuz you know wat I goin do?! I goin jam up da king head. He goin hear wat somebody tell, an he goin figga dat he betta go back his land. An wen he get dea, I goin make somebody go kill him wit one sword.’ ”

8 Wen da territorial govna guy from Assyria start fo go back by da Assyria king, he find out da king wen leave Lakish town awready, so he go Libnah town fo meet da king wea dea army stay fight.

9 Den, da Assyria king Sennakerib hear dat Tirhakah, da king from Sudan, stay bring his Egypt army guys fo fight da Assyria king. So Sennakerib sen messenja guys by Hezekiah one mo time. He tell um: 10 “Go tell Hezekiah, da Judah king, dis: ‘No let da god dat you trus bulai you. Cuz he goin tell you, “No way I goin let da Assyria king take ova Jerusalem!” 11 Fo shua you wen hear wat us Assyria king guys wen do to all da odda countries awready! Us guys wen wipe um out! An you tink yoa god goin get you outa trouble?! No way! 12 Da gods fo da peopos dat my ancesta guys wen wipe out, dea gods neva help dem get outa trouble! Us guys mo strong den da gods fo Gozan, Haran, Rezef, an da Eden peopo dat wen live Tel Assar! 13 Wea da king fo Hamat, aah? O da king fo Arpad, da king fo da big town a Sefarvaim, o Hena, o Ivvah? Wea dese guys stay now?!’ ”

Hezekiah Pray

(Isaiah 37:14-20)

14 Hezekiah get da letta from da messenja guys, an read um. Den he go up da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an put down da letta in front Da One In Charge. 15 ✡Hezekiah pray lidis in front Da One In Charge: “Eh! You Da One In Charge!

Az why dey can wipe um out. 19 Da One In Charge, you da God fo us guys! Help get us outa Sennakerib powa! Den all da kings in da world goin know fo shua dat you Da One In Charge, az da ony God dass fo real!”

Isaiah Tell Dat Sennakerib Goin Mahke

(Isaiah 37:21-38; 2 Records 32:20-21)

20 Den Isaiah, Amoz boy, sen one message fo Hezekiah. He tell: “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: I hear wat you tell me wen you pray, bout Sennakerib da Assyria king. 21 Me, Da One In Charge, I get someting fo tell agains him:

“ ‘Eh, King Sennakerib!

All da wahines from Zion Hill

Hate yoa guts an make fun a you.

Dey goin stick finga at you wen you run away.

22 “ ‘You stay talk bad bout me, aah, Sennakerib?!

You stay talk big, aah?!

You tink you get mo powa den me, aah?!

Me, da God dat stay good an spesho fo da Israel peopo!

23 You wen sen yoa messenja guys hea

Fo talk bad bout me, da Boss.

An you, Sennakerib, you wen tink lidis:

“Me, Sennakerib, I ride inside my war wagon

An bring all my war wagons wit me

On top da mountains,

All da high mountains inside Lebanon!

An I wen cut down da tall cedar trees,

An da bestes pine trees!

An I go make camp

In da far place wea get da bestes kine trees.

24 I wen dig pukas fo watta inside odda lands,

An drink da watta from dea.

I wen make supa plenny army guys

Walk all ova da streams Egypt side,

An dey dry up all da streams ova dea!”

25 “ ‘You neva hear dis long time befo, o wat?!

Me, Da One In Charge wen make da plan bout all dis.

From befo time, I wen set up eryting.

Now, I stay make um all happen jalike I tell.

Dass how come you can make big towns dat get strong wall

Fall down an come piles a rocks wea nobody live.

26 Da peopo dat live dea, no mo powa.

Dey lose fight an come shame.

Dey stay jalike da plants inside da field,

Jalike da young grass plants,

Jalike da grass on top da flat roofs

Dat da sun burn befo can come up strong.

27 “ ‘But I know how you stay make,

An wea you stay all da time.

I know how you stay come all piss off at me.

28 Cuz wen you come all piss off at me,

An I hear you talk like you no give a rip bout notting,

I goin put my hook in yoa nose,

An put my horse bit inside yoa mout

An I goin make you go back

Da same way you wen come ova hea!’ ”

Dass wat Da One In Charge tell Sennakerib.

29 Den Da One In Charge tell Hezekiah:

“Dis goin be da sign fo show you bout wass goin happen, Hezekiah:

Dis year, you goin eat ony stuff dat you neva plant,

An nex year, ony wat grow from dat.

But da year afta dat, you guys goin plant seed an harves da food.

Plant grape farms, an eat da fruits.

30 Jalike befo time, da peopo dat still stay alive from da Judah ohana,

Dey goin get one strong root fo go down unda dem,

An make fruits dat grow up ova dem.

31 Cuz from Jerusalem, da peopo dat still stay alive goin come out one mo time,

Da ones from Mount Zion dat goin get outa trouble.

“Cuz me, Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies,

I goin go all out fo make shua az wat goin happen.

32 “Me, Da One In Charge,

Az why I tell dis

Bout da Assyria king:

He no goin come inside dis big town.

He no goin shoot arrow ova hea.

He no goin come ova hea wit one shield.

He no goin pile up dirt by da town wall

Fo his army guys run on top an go inside.

33 He goin go back da same way he wen come.

He no goin go inside dis big town.

Az wat me, Da One In Charge, tell.

34 “An he tell dis too:

“ ‘I goin fight fo dis big town,

An get da peopo dea outa trouble

Cuz a who me, an fo David my worka guy.’ ”

Sennakerib Mahke

35 Dat same day, nite time, one angel messenja guy from Da One In Charge go out inside da Assyria army camp. He kill 185,000 guys inside dea. Wen da Assyria guys dat no mahke get up da nex morning, get all da mahke bodies all ova da place! 36 So Sennakerib, da Assyria king, broke camp, an go back Nineveh town, an stay ova dea.

37 Laytas, Sennakerib stay pray inside da temple fo his god Nisrok. Wen he go down in front Nisrok, his boys Adrammelek an Sharezer kill him wit dea swords. Den dey run away to da Ararat land. An Sennakerib odda boy Esarhaddon come da nex king.

Hezekiah Come Sick

(2 Records 32:24-26; Isaiah 38:1-8)

Mo betta his govmen guys come hea fo look aroun an spy oua land, you know, fo dem win ova us guys!” 4 So Hanun tell his guys fo grab David govmen guys, shave off dea beard, cut off dea clotheses in da middo by da okole, an throw dem outa dea country.

5 Some messenjas go make report fo David bout wat wen happen to his guys. David sen messenja guys fo go meet his guys, cuz dey lose face plenny. David tell, “Stay Jericho side till yoa beards grow. Den come back hea.”

6 Da Ammon guys tink dat wat dey wen do, make dem jalike one real bad haunas da way David figga.

Dey kill Shofak too, da main leada fo dea army guys.

19 Wen da army guys Hadadezer wen sen see dat da Israel guys win ova dem, dey make one deal fo no fight wit David, an come his guys.

So da Aram guys no like help get da Ammon guys outa trouble no moa.

(2 Samuel 24:1-25)

1 Dat time, Satan start fo make trouble fo da Israel guys. He make David tink az good fo him count da Israel peopo. 2 So David tell Joab an da main leadas fo da army guys, “Go count how much Israel guys get, from Beer-Sheba town south side all da way Dan side north side. Den bring me da numbas, fo me know how much guys get.”

3 But Joab tell, “Fo shua, you da king, an you my boss! An I like fo Da One In Charge make one hundred times mo army guys den we get now, fo fight. But all da army guys stay ready fo do how you like awready! So, how come you like make lidis?! How come you like make da Israel peopo get blame?! No good, dat!”

4 But wat King David tell, mo strong den wat Joab tell. So Joab leave Jerusalem an go all ova da Israel land, an den go back Jerusalem side. 5 Joab give David da numbas, how much fighta guys dey wen line up an count. From all ova Israel, get 1,100,000 guys dat know how fo use sword. 470,000 a dem come from da Judah ohana.

8 Den David tell God, “I wen do one real bad ting wen I do dat. Now, I beg you, take away da blame from me, cuz I wen make real stupid kine.”

9 Gad was one guy dat see wat Da One In Charge show um. So Da One In Charge tell Gad, 10 “Go tell David, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge tell. You can pick from three tings I goin tell you. Pick one a dem. Den I goin make dat happen to you.’ ”

11 So Gad go by David, an tell um, “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: ‘Pick one:

12 fo three year nobody goin get food fo eat;

o fo three month da guys dat stay agains you goin chase you guys all ova da place wit swords an catch you up;

o fo three days Da One In Charge goin use his sword—dat mean, he goin sen one real bad kine sick all ova da Israel land, an da killa angel guy from Da One In Charge goin wipe out peopo all ova da Israel land.’

Now tink bout um, an tell me wat I goin tell da One wen sen me.”

13 David tell Gad, “Ho! I presha out! Mo betta let Da One In Charge be da one fo punish me, cuz he pity peopo plenny. But no let peopo punish me!”

14 So Da One In Charge sen one real bad kine sick on top da Israel peopo, an 70,000 Israel guys mahke. 15 Befo God pau, he sen one angel guy Jerusalem town, fo wipe um out. But wen da angel guy start fo wipe out da peopo, God Da One In Charge see um. He change his mind bout how he goin make bad to da peopo, jalike he wen start fo do. He tell da angel guy, “Nuff awready! Stop!” Wen Da One In Charge tell dat, da angel guy stay stan by da open place wea Ornan da Jebus guy split his wheat from da junk kine stuff.

16 David look up an see da angel guy from Da One In Charge dat stan wit da sky ova him an da earth undaneat him. He carry one sword inside his hand, an he hold um out ova Jerusalem. David an da older leadas put on burmbag kine clotheses, an dey go down an put dea face on top da groun.

17 David tell God, “Me, I da guy dat wen tell dat dey gotta count da guys dat can fight. I da guy dat wen do dat bad kine ting an make odda peopo get hurt. Dese guys, dey jalike sheeps, dey neva do notting wrong. My God, Da One In Charge, try bus up me an my faddah ohana, but no let dis real bad kine sick hurt yoa peopo no moa.”

18 Da angel guy from Da One In Charge tell Gad fo tell David go build one altar fo Da One In Charge, on top da open place wea Ornan da Jebus guy stay split his wheat from da junk kine stuff. 19 So David go up dea fo do wat Da One In Charge wen tell Gad fo tell David. Gad use Da One In Charge name fo tell David wat fo do.

20 Ornan stay split da wheat, but he turn aroun an spock da angel guy. Ornan four boys stay wit him, an dey go hide. 21 Wen David come by Ornan, Ornan see him. He come out from wea he working, an go down in front David, an put his face on top da groun.

22 David tell um, “I like buy dis place you use fo clean da wheat, fo build one altar hea fo make sacrifice fo Da One In Charge. I goin pay you good fo da whole place, cuz az how da bad kine sick dat stay on top all da peopo no goin be no moa.”

23 Ornan tell David, “Take um! You my boss, da king! I like you do wateva you tink az good fo do! Look, I goin give da cows I stay use hea, fo you make burn up kine sacrifices! I give da wood frames we use fo split da wheat from da junks, fo burn up da sacrifice! I give da wheat fo make da wheat kine sacrifice! I give you da whole ting!”

24 But King David tell Ornan, “No way! I gotta pay da whole cost! I no goin lif up wat stay yoas, fo me give um to Da One In Charge an not you! I no goin make one burn up kine sacrifice wit someting dat no cost me notting!”

3 Solomon sen dis message fo Hiram, da Tyre king:

Dis goin be da kuleana fo da Israel peopo foeva.

5 “Da temple I goin build goin be big an importan, cuz oua God stay mo importan den all da odda gods. 6 ✡But fo shua, no mo nobody get da powa fo build one temple fo him! Cuz da sky, even da mos high part, no can hold him! An fo shua, me, I no can build one temple fo him! Ony goin be one place fo make burn up kine sacrifices in front him.

7 “Az why I aks you fo sen me one guy dat stay real smart. Somebody dat work real good wit gold an silva, bronze an iron, purple, red, an blue wool string, an know how fo cut pichas on top metal. He goin work inside Judah an Jerusalem wit my guys dat know how fo do stuff real good too, da ones my faddah David wen make shua dey stay ready fo dis.

8 “An sen me cedar an pine logs from Lebanon, an red sandalwood, cuz fo shua yoa guys know real good how fo cut da Lebanon kine trees. My worka guys goin work wit yoa guys 9 fo make shua I get plenny cut wood. Cuz da temple dat I goin build, goin be real big an awesome. 10 Me, I goin give yoa guys dat work wit da wood 100,000 basket wheat dat my peopo wen grind up, an 100,000 basket barley, 115,000 gallon wine, an 115,000 gallon olive oil.”

11 King Hiram sen messenjas back wit dis letta fo King Solomon:

“Da One In Charge get plenny love an aloha fo his peopo. Az why he wen make you come dea king!”

12 Hiram tell dis too:

“I like erybody talk good bout Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo! He wen make da sky an da earth! He wen give King David one boy dat know wat fo do erytime. David boy know how come tings happen, an he undastan wass good an wass bad. He goin build one temple fo Da One In Charge an one palace fo him cuz he da king.

13 “So dis wat I goin do: I goin sen Huram-Abi, dat know how fo build stuff. 14 His muddah one Israel wahine from da Dan ohana. His faddah come from Tyre. He know how fo work real good wit gold an silva, wit bronze an iron, wit stone an wood, wit purple, blue, an red wool string, an da fancy kine white linen cloth.

He goin work wit yoa guys dat know how fo make stuff real good, an wit da guys dat wen work fo my boss, yoa faddah David, fo make stuff.

17 So Solomon count all da guys from anodda country dat live inside Israel, jalike his faddah David wen count um, an dey was 153,600 guys. 18 He make 70,000 a dem carry stuff, an 80,000 a dem work inside da hills cut stone, an 3,600 a dem da lunas fo make shua da odda guys work good.

Cuz Da One In Charge wen tell: 5 ‘From da time I wen bring my peopo outa Egypt till now, I neva pick one big town inside da land fo any Israel ohana, fo build one temple dea fo show wat kine god me. An I neva pick one guy fo come da leada fo my Israel peopo. 6 But now, I wen pick Jerusalem fo show wat kine god me, an I wen pick David fo stay in charge a my Israel peopo.’ ”

But if you bag from him, he goin bag from you guys. 3 From long time, da Israel peopo no mo da God dass fo real, an no mo pries fo teach dem, an no mo da Rules From God. 4 But weneva dey get presha, dey turn aroun an go back to Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo.

He take away da pilau idol kine gods from all ova da Judah an Benjamin land, an from da towns he wen take ova inside da Efraim hills.

Ahab Mahke Ramot-Gilead Side

2 Some guys come an tell Jehoshafat, “One big army stay come agains you from Edom, from da odda side a da Big Salt Lake.

An he tell all da Judah peopo fo skip food wen dey pray. 4 Da Judah peopo come togedda fo tell Da One In Charge fo help dem. Dey come from ery town inside Judah fo tell Da One In Charge dey need help.

5 Den Jehoshafat stan up in front all da Judah an Jerusalem peopo dat come togedda by da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, da front part a da new open lanai. 6 He tell:

“You Da One In Charge, you da God fo oua ancesta guys. Fo shua you da God dat tell us wat fo do from inside da sky. You da One in charge a da kings ova all da peopos. You strong an get plenny powa fo fight. No mo nobody can stan up agains you. 7 ✡You, oua God, da One wen chase out da peopos dat wen live inside dis land. Dey run away in front yoa peopo, da Israel peopo. You give da land to da peopo dat come from yoa fren Abraham, fo come dea property foeva. 8 Dey wen make house inside dis land, an dey build one spesho place hea, fo peopo know wat kine god you. Dey tell, 9 ‘If bad tings happen to us—war, o one bad kine sick, o no mo food—den us guys goin come stan in front you hea, in front dis Temple dat show wat kine god you. We goin yell to you wen we get hard time, an you goin lissen an get us outa trouble.’

10 ✡“But now, get guys from Ammon, Moab, an da Seir Range. Da time us guys come outa Egypt, you no let us Israel peopo go inside dea land. So oua peopo go aroun dem, an no wipe out dose guys. 11 Now, look how dey pay back us guys, bad fo good! Dey stay come fo chase us guys outa yoa land dat you wen give us fo come oua property. 12 You oua God, so try punish dem! Cuz us no mo powa fo go agains dis big army dat stay come fo attack us guys. Us guys, we donno wat we gotta do, but we trus you fo help us!”

13 All da guys inside Judah, wit dea bebes an wifes an odda kids, dey stay stan dea in front Da One In Charge.

14 Den da Spirit from Da One In Charge take ova one guy dat stay stan dea in da middo a all da peopo. His name Jahaziel, Zekariah boy (his ancesta guys Benaiah, Jeiel, an Mattaniah). He one Levi guy dat come from Asaf.

15 ✡He tell, “King Jehoshafat, an erybody dat live inside Judah an Jerusalem, lissen up! Dis da message from Da One In Charge fo you guys: ‘No come sked o bum out, cuz a dis big army. Cuz da war not fo you guys fo fight, but fo God fo fight. 16 Tomorra, march down agains dem. Dey goin stay climb up da Ziz Pass, an you goin find dem by da mauka end a da gulch wea can see da Jeruel Boonies. 17 ✡But az not yoa kuleana, fight dis war! Line up, stan strong, an watch how Da One In Charge goin get you guys outa trouble. You Judah an Jerusalem guys, no sked, an no lose fight! Go out fo face dem tomorra, cuz Da One In Charge goin stay wit you guys.’ ”

18 Jehoshafat go down an put his face on top da groun, an all da Judah an Jerusalem peopo go down too fo show love an respeck in front Da One In Charge. 19 Den some Levi guys from da Kohat an Korah ohanas stan up fo tell wit one strong voice dat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, he da greates.

20 Early morning time dey go from Jerusalem to da Tekoa Boonies. Wen dey all ready fo go, Jehoshafat stan up an tell, “You Judah an Jerusalem guys, lissen me! Trus yoa God, Da One In Charge, an he goin make you stay solid! Trus da guys dat talk fo him, an you guys goin come out okay!” 21 Afta Jehoshafat tell da peopo wat fo do, he put singa guys fo go in front da guys dat stay ready fo make war. Da singa guys sing fo Da One In Charge. Dey tell good tings bout him cuz he good an spesho, an az why he awesome. Dey sing lidis:

“Tell Da One In Charge ‘Mahalo!’

Cuz he stay tight wit his peopo foeva!”

22 Same time da singa guys start fo sing loud an tell good tings bout Da One In Charge, get odda guys dat stay hide nea da odda army. Was Da One In Charge put um ova dea. Dey go jump da guys from Ammon, Moab, an da Seir Range dat stay come fo fight da Judah peopo. Da guys dat stay hide jam up da odda guys lidis: 23 Firs ting, da Ammon an Moab guys attack da Mount Seir guys an wipe um all out. Afta dey pau kill all da Mount Seir guys, den all da Ammon an Moab guys help fo wipe out each odda.

24 Wen da Judah guys come da towa wea can look ova da boonies, dey turn an look fo da big army. An you know wat dey see?! Ony get mahke bodies laying all ova groun! No mo nobody from dose odda guys wen get out alive. 25 Az why Jehoshafat an his army guys go fo rip off da mahke guys stuffs, an dey find plenny tings ova dea dat dey use fo fight, an clotheses, an tings dat cost plenny. Get plenny mo stuffs fo carry away den dey can handle. Take dem three days fo pick up all da stuffs. 26 Day numba four, da Judah guys all come togedda inside da Valley Wea God Make Good Tings Happen, cuz dass da place wea dey tell good kine stuff bout Da One In Charge. Az why still yet today, dey call um da Valley Wea God Make Good Tings Happen.

27 Den Jehoshafat lead all da Judah an Jerusalem guys back Jerusalem side. Da One In Charge make dem stay real good inside, cuz da guys dat hate dem wen come wipe out. 28 Dey go inside Jerusalem, wit bass harps, small harps, an metal trumpets, an go da Temple Fo Da One In Charge.

29 Den all da kings an da peopos inside da odda countries come sked a God, cuz dey hear how Da One In Charge wen fight da guys dat stay agains da Israel peopo. 30 So da peopo dat get Jehoshafat fo dea king no need fight no moa, cuz his God make him no need worry bout da trouble all aroun.

Jehoshafat Pau Stay Da King

(1 Kings 22:41-50)

31 Jehoshafat was thirty-five year ol wen he come da Judah king. He stay king inside Jerusalem fo twenny-five year. His muddah Azubah, Shilhi girl. 32 He make jalike his faddah Asa, an no go away from um. He do wat stay right, da way Da One In Charge see um. 33 Ony one ting—da sacrifice places fo da idol kine gods on top da hills, stay still yet, an da peopo still no go all out fo da God fo dea ancesta guys.

34 Da odda stuff Jehoshafat wen do, from da start to da end, Jehu, Hanani boy, wen write all dat inside da Book Bout Wat Da Israel Kings Wen Do.

35 Laytas, Jehoshafat, da Judah king, make one deal wit Ahaziah, da Israel king. Wen Jehoshafat do dat, wat he do was wrong. 36 Jehoshafat go togedda wit Ahaziah fo build plenny big boat, da same kine peopo use fo go trade Spain side. But dis ones, dey build um by da Red Sea, Ezion-Geber side. 37 Eliezer, Dodavahu boy from Mareshah, he talk fo God, an tell dat someting bad goin happen fo Jehoshafat. He tell um: “Cuz you wen make one deal wit Ahaziah, Da One In Charge goin bus up da boats you wen make.” Den da boats broke, an no can use um fo trade.

21

1 Wen Jehoshafat mahke, dey bury him wit his ancesta guys inside Jerusalem, David big town. His boy Jehoram come king afta him. 2 Jehoram braddahs was Azariah, Jehiel, Zekariah, Azariahu, Michael, an Shefatiah. All dem get Jehoshafat, da king fo Israel, fo dea faddah. 3 Dea faddah wen give dem plenny present: silva, gold, an real good kine stuffs, an towns dat get strong wall inside Judah, but he make Jehoram da king, cuz he da boy dat wen born firs.

Jehoram Da Judah King

(2 Kings 8:16-24)

4 Jehoram take ova an come one strong king ova da Judah peopo. Den he tell his guys kill all his braddahs wit swords. Dey kill some a da leada guys fo da Israel peopo too. 5 Jehoram was thirty-two year ol wen he come king, an he stay king inside Jerusalem fo eight year. 6 He make jalike da kings fo da Israel peopo wen make, jalike da Ahab family, cuz he marry one a Ahab girls. Da way Da One In Charge see Joram, he do real bad kine stuff. 7 ✡But cuz Da One In Charge wen make one deal wit David, Da One In Charge no like wipe out da David ohana. Da One In Charge wen make one promise fo make David ohana stay alive foeva, jalike one olive oil lamp dat no pio.

8 ✡Da time Jehoram stay king, da Edom peopo fight da Judah peopo, an make one guy from da Edom peopo come da Edom king. 9 So Jehoram go Edom side wit his officer guys an all his war wagons. Da Edom guys come all aroun him an da guys in charge a his war wagons. But nite time, Jehoram make his move an attack dem. Az how da Judah guys get away. 10 Still yet today, da Edom peopo stay agains da Judah peopo.

Da same time, da Libnah peopo fight Judah, cuz Jehoram wen bag from Da One In Charge, da God fo his ancesta guys. 11 Anodda ting Jehoram wen do, he build sacrifice places on top da Judah hills, an make da Jerusalem peopo fool aroun wit odda gods. Az how Jehoram make da Judah peopo go da wrong way from God.

12 Jehoram get one letta from Elijah, da guy dat talk fo God, dat tell:

“Dis, one message from Da One In Charge, da God fo yoa ancesta David: ‘You no make jalike yoa faddah Jehoshafat, o jalike Asa da Judah king. 13 But you make jalike da Israel kings. You make da Judah an Jerusalem peopo fool aroun wit odda gods, jalike da Ahab ohana wen do. An you even kill yoa braddahs from yoa faddah ohana, guys dat was mo betta den you. 14 So you know wat?! Da One In Charge stay ready fo wack yoa peopo hard, yoa kids, yoa wifes, an eryting dat stay yoas. 15 An you, you goin come real sick inside yoa gut, an da sick goin stay long time, till da sick make yoa gut come out from yoa okole.’ ”

16 Dat time, Da One In Charge make da Filisha peopo an da Arab peopo dat live nea da Sudan peopo come huhu an like attack Jehoram. 17 Dey go agains da Judah peopo. Dey fight fo go inside da Judah land. Den dey take away all da stuffs dey find inside da king palace, an his boys an his wifes. No mo Joram boy stay alive dea, ony Ahaziah, da mos young.

18 Afta all dat, Da One In Charge wack Jehoram wit one sick inside his gut, an no mo nobody can make him come good. 19 Afta bout two year, his gut come out his okole cuz a da sick, an he hurt plenny an mahke from dat. His peopo no make big fire fo show him respeck, da way dey wen do um fo his ancesta guys.

20 Jehoram was thirty-two year ol wen he come king, an he stay king Jerusalem town fo eight year. Wen he mahke, nobody feel sad. Dey bury him inside Jerusalem, David big town, but not inside da tombs fo da king guys.

22

Ahaziah Da Judah King

(2 Kings 8:25-29; 9:21-29)

1 Da peopo inside Jerusalem make Ahaziah (az anodda name fo Jehoahaz, Jehoram mos young boy) come king afta him. Az cuz da guys dat come wit da Arab guys fo steal stuff wen kill all Jehoram boys dat older den him. Az how Ahaziah, Jehoram boy, da Judah king, start fo stay in charge.

2 Ahaziah was twenny-two year ol wen he come king, an he stay king inside Jerusalem one year. His muddah, Ataliah, Omri grandaughta.

3 Ahaziah, he make jalike da Ahab ohana, cuz his muddah teach him dat da bestes ting fo do is fo him do wass wrong. 4 Da way Da One In Charge see Ahaziah, he do bad kine stuff. Cuz afta his faddah mahke, da Ahab ohana guys tell him wat dey tink az good fo him do. An cuz he lissen dem, he come all jam up.

5 One ting dey tell um az good fo him do, he go wit Joram, dat get da Israel king Ahab fo his faddah. Dey go togedda, fo make war agains Hazael, da Aram king, Ramot-Gilead town. Da Aram guys hurt Joram ova dea. 6 So Joram go back Jezreel town fo come mo betta from da hurt he get Ramah side wen he fight wit Hazael, da Aram king.

Dat time, Jehoram boy Ahaziah, da Judah king, go Jezreel town fo see Joram, Ahab boy, cuz Joram still stay hurt. 7 But wen Ahaziah go visit Joram, God use dat fo make Ahaziah come wipe out. Cuz one time wen Ahaziah stay ova dea wit Joram, he go out wit Joram fo meet Jehu, Nimshi boy. An Jehu was da guy dat God give da kuleana fo wipe out all da Ahab ohana. 8 Wen Jehu stay wipe out da Ahab ohana, he find some leada guys from Judah, an some from Ahaziah ohana, dat work in Ahaziah govmen, an Jehu kill all dem too. 9 Den Jehu guys go look fo Ahaziah. Dey make him dea prisona wen he stay hide inside Samaria town. Dey bring um by Jehu, an kill him ova dea. Dey bury him, cuz dey tell, “Dis, Jehoshafat grankid. His granfaddah wen go all out fo know Da One In Charge.” But den, no mo nobody inside da Ahaziah ohana dat still stay strong enuff fo come king.

Ataliah An Joash

(2 Kings 11:1-21)

10 Wen Ahaziah muddah Ataliah see dat her boy mahke, she make one move fo wipe out all da Judah ohana peopo dat come from da king. 11 But Ahaziah sistah Jehosheba, she grab Ahaziah bebe boy Joash, an take him away from da king odda boys dat Ataliah stay ready fo kill. She put him an da wahine dat give him her breas milk in one bedroom. Dass wat Jehosheba do. Her, Ahaziah sistah, King Jehoram girl dat wen marry da pries guy Jehoiada. She hide da bebe so Ataliah no can kill um. 12 Da boy stay dea, hiding inside God Temple fo six year. An all dat time, Ataliah stay in charge a da land.

Wen dey all come Jerusalem town, 3 ✡all da peopo dat come togedda dea make one deal wit da king inside da Temple Fo God.

Jehoiada tell dem, “Lissen up! Da mahke king, his boy Joash, he goin come king! Dass cuz Da One In Charge wen make one strong promise bout da guys dat goin come from David. 4 So, dis wat you guys gotta do. From you pries guys an Levi guys dat get da job fo work da Res Day, make three team.

Ony da pries guys an da Levi guys dat stay work ova dea can go inside cuz dey stay spesho fo Da One In Charge. All da odda army guys goin do wat Da One In Charge tell um fo do an stay outside da Temple. 7 Da Levi guys goin make one circle aroun da king. All dem goin carry da tings dey use fo fight inside dea hands. Anybody go inside da Temple, dey gotta mahke. Stay right dea by da king, no matta wea he go.”

8 Da Levi guys an all da guys from Judah do eryting Jehoiada da pries guy wen tell um fo do. Ery officer take dea guys, da ones dat start fo work on da Res Day an da guys dat pau work, cuz Jehoiada da pries guy no let da teams go home yet. 9 Den he give da officers fo one hundred guys da spears an da shields an bags fo bows dat King David wen get, dat stay inside da Temple Fo God. 10 Jehoiada put all his army guys aroun da king, from da south side to da north side a da Temple, an from da Temple to da altar—erybody wit da ting dey use fo fight, ready inside dea hand.

11 Jehoiada an his boys bring out Joash, da mahke king boy. Dey put da crown on top him. Dey give him one copy a da deal dey make, an tell dat he da king. Dey put da spesho kine olive oil on top his head fo show he da king, an dey yell, “Us like da king live long time!”

He stan by da big pos wea da king suppose to stan, one side a da place fo go inside da Temple building. Da army officer guys an da guys dat blow da trumpets stay all aroun da king. An all da peopo from all ova da land stay dance an sing, an dey stay blow trumpets too. An da guys dat sing use dea music instruments, an dey lead da peopo fo tell dat Da One In Charge stay real good.

Den Ataliah rip her clotheses fo show she stay bum out. She yell, “Dese guys go agains da govmen!”

Anybody follow her, kill um!” Cuz da pries guy wen tell befo, “No kill her by da Temple Fo Da One In Charge.” 15 So dey grab her an take her outa da open lanai fo da Temple, to da gate wea da horses go inside da open lanai o da palace. Dass wea dey kill her.

6 ✡Az why King Joash call Jehoiada, da Main Pries Guy. He tell um, “How come you no make da Levi guys bring da tax from Judah an Jerusalem? Moses, da guy dat work fo Da One In Charge, an all da Israel peopo togedda, dey make up dea mind dat erybody gotta pay dea share. Dey do um fo da Tent Wea Da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Stay.”

7 He tell um dat, cuz Ataliah, dat real bad wahine, her boys wen broke inside da Temple Fo God. Dey even use da stuff dat stay spesho fo Da One In Charge, from inside his Temple, fo da Baal kine gods.

8 So da king tell da pries guys fo make one big box, an put um outside da gate fo da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 9 Den he tell messenja guys fo go to da peopo all ova Judah an Jerusalem. Dey tell dat erybody gotta bring da tax fo Da One In Charge. Dat was da tax dat Moses, da guy dat work fo God, wen tell da Israel peopo fo bring, befo time inside da boonies. 10 All da leada guys an da peopo feel real good bout dat. Dey bring silva fo pay da tax an put um inside da big box till dey fill um up to da top. 11 Plenny times, da Levi guys bring da big box by da govmen guys dat take kea da king stuff. Weneva dey see dat get plenny silva inside, da secretary fo da king an da guy dat take kea stuff fo da Main Pries Guy come dea. Dey take da silva outa da big box. Den dey take back da box wea suppose to stay. Dey make lidat ery day, az how dey get plenny silva. 12 Da king an Jehoiada give da silva to da guys in charge a da work. Dey pay guys dat work wit stone, an carpinta guys, fo make da Temple Fo Da One In Charge come jalike new. Dey pay guys dat make tings from iron an bronze too, fo fix da Temple Fo Da One In Charge.

All da time Jehoiada stay alive, dey erytime make da burn up kine sacrifices inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge.

15 Jehoiada, he come plenny ol. He mahke wen he one hundred thirty year ol. 16 Dey bury him wit da king guys inside Jerusalem, David big town, cuz he wen do good kine stuff inside Israel fo God an his Temple.

Joash Start Fo Do Bad Kine Stuff

17 Afta Jehoiada mahke, da leadas fo da Judah peopo come by King Joash an go down in front him fo show respeck. Dat time, he lissen dem. 18 Dey bag from go da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, da God fo dea ancesta guys. Dey tink az mo betta go pray to da tiki poses fo da wahine god Asherah, an da odda idol kine gods. Cuz dey get da blame fo do bad kine stuff, God come huhu wit da Judah an da Jerusalem peopo. 19 Da One In Charge sen guys by da peopo fo talk fo him, fo dem bring back da peopo by him. But no matta da guys dat talk fo God tell da peopo fo make shua dey serious bout wat dey do, da peopo no lissen.

20 ✡Den Da Spirit from Da One In Charge take ova Zekariah, Jehoiada da pries guy boy. He stan in front da peopo, an tell, “Dis da message from God: ‘How come you guys neva lissen wat me, Da One In Charge, wen tell you guys fo do? No mo notting goin come out good fo you guys. You guys wen bag from me, Da One In Charge! Az how come I bag from you guys!’ ”

21 But da peopo wen make one secret plan agains Zekariah. King Joash tell dem fo throw stones fo kill um. So dey kill um inside da open lanai fo da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 22 King Joash foget awready dat Zekariah faddah Jehoiada wen stay tight wit Joash befo time, but King Joash kill Jehoiada boy Zekariah. Wen Zekariah stay die, he tell, “I like Da One In Charge see dis an make you pay fo um.”

23 Wen da new year come, da Aram army guys come agains Joash. Dey attack Judah an Jerusalem, an kill all da leadas fo da Judah peopo. An dey sen all da stuffs dey rip off from da Judah peopo by dea king Damascus side. 24 No matta da Aram army wen come wit ony litto bit guys, Da One In Charge make dem win ova all da Judah army guys.

Amaziah Da Judah King

(2 Kings 14:1-20)

1 Amaziah twenny-five year ol wen he come king. He stay king inside Jerusalem twenny-nine year. His muddah, Jehoaddin. She from Jerusalem. 2 Amaziah do wat stay right da way Da One In Charge see um, but he no go all out fo do um. 3 Afta he stay shua dat he goin stay king, he kill his palace guys, da ones dat wen kill his faddah, da king guy. 4 ✡But dea boys, he no kill dem. He make jalike da Rules tell inside Moses book, wea Da One In Charge tell: “No kill da faddahs fo wat dea kids do, o da kids fo wat dea faddahs do. If somebody gotta mahke, ony can be fo da bad tings dat guy wen do.”

5 Amaziah call da Judah men guys togedda. He put all da diffren Judah an Benjamin ohanas unda army officer guys ova one tousan guys an ova one hundred guys. Den he line up da guys twenny year ol o moa, an find out dat get three hundred tousan army guys ready fo fight, dat carry spear an big shield. 6 Same time, Amaziah make one deal wit da Israel peopo fo sen hundred tousan guys from ova dea dat know how fo fight real good. He pay dem bout 7,500 poun silva.

7 But one guy dat stay tight wit God come by him. He tell, “King Amaziah, dese army guys from Israel, no let dem go wit you fo fight! Cuz Da One In Charge no stay wit da Israel peopo no moa. He no goin help all dese Efraim ohana guys! 8 Mo betta, jus you go fight an no sked! Be strong! Cuz if da Israel guys go wit you, God goin make you jam up wen you fight da guys dat stay agains you. God, he get da powa fo help you, o fo make you jam up.”

9 Amaziah aks da guy dat stay tight wit God, “But I wen pay da Israel guys 7,500 poun silva awready! Wat bout dat?”

Da guy dat stay tight wit God tell, “Da One In Charge, he can give you plenny mo den dat!”

10 So Amaziah let go da Efraim ohana guys dat wen come by him from da Efraim land, an sen dem back home. Dem guys come real huhu wit da Judah guys, an go back home wit plenny huhu.

11 Den Amaziah feel strong. He bring his army guys togedda, an bring um inside da Salt Valley. Ova dea dey kill ten tousan Edom guys from Seir. 12 Same time, da Judah army guys catch ten tousan guys dat still stay alive an make um prisonas. Dey take dem up on top one cliff an throw um down fo dem all mahke on top da rocks.

13 Same time da Judah guys do dat, da Israel fighta guys dat Amaziah wen sen back so dey no can go wit him fo fight, dey go afta da Judah towns from Samaria to Bet-Horon. Dey kill three tousan peopo, an carry away plenny stuffs.

14 Wen Amaziah come back from kill da Edom guys, he bring back da idol kine gods fo da Seir peopo. He put dem up fo come his gods. He go down in front um, an make da kine sacrifices wit fire fo um. 15 Az why Da One In Charge come huhu wit Amaziah. He sen one guy dat talk fo him by Amaziah. Da guy tell, “How come you aks dose peopo gods fo tell you wat fo do, aah?! Dose gods no can even get dea peopo outa da trouble you wen make fo dem, you know!”

16 Wen he still yet stay talk, da king tell him, “Eh! Us give you da job fo tell yoa king wass good fo him do, o wat?! Stop! No good my guys kill you!”

So da guy dat talk fo God stop. But he tell, “Fo shua God tell awready wass good fo do. He goin wipe you out! Az cuz you wen bring dose odda gods hea. You no lissen wen I tell you wass good fo do!”

17 Anodda time, da Judah king Amaziah talk wit his guys dat tell um wass good fo him do. Den he sen one messenja guy by da Israel king Jehoash, Jehoahaz boy an Jehu grankid, fo tell um: “Like beef, o wat?!”

18 But Jehoash da Israel king tell Amaziah da Judah king: “Jalike one thorn bush inside Lebanon sen one messenja fo tell one cedar tree inside Lebanon ‘Let yoa girl marry my boy.’ But den one wild animal come an walk all ova da thorn bush. 19 You tell dat you wen win ova da Edom peopo, an now you big head! You like get mo plenny respeck still yet! Mo betta you stay home now! How come you get da hots fo make war, aah?! You ony goin make someting bad happen. You goin come all wipe out, an yoa Judah peopo, same ting!”

20 But Amaziah no lissen, cuz God stay set um up so Jehoash goin win ova dem, cuz da Judah guys like let da idol kine gods from Edom tell um wat fo do. 21 So Jehoash da Israel king attack. Him an Amaziah da Judah king fight each odda Bet-Shemesh side, inside da Judah land. 22 Da Israel guys win ova da Judah guys, an ery Judah guy run away dea house. 23 Jehoash da Israel king make Amaziah da Judah king his prisona Bet-Shemesh side. Den Jehoash bring Amaziah Jerusalem side. Jehoash tell his army guys fo broke down da Jerusalem town wall from da Efraim Gate to da Corner Gate. Az bout two hundred yard. 24 Jehoash take all da gold an silva, an all da tings he find inside da Temple Fo God dat Obed-Edom wen guard. He take da rich kine stuff dat get inside Amaziah palace too, an he make some importan peopo his prisonas. Den Jehoash go back Samaria side.

He no do da right kine stuff da way Da One In Charge see um. 2 He make jalike da Israel kings.

5 ✡Az why his God, Da One In Charge, give him an his guys to da Aram king. Da Aram guys win ova Ahaz army. Dey grab plenny Judah peopo an make dem come prisonas, an take dem Damascus side.

An da Israel king grab Ahaz an his guys too, an kill plenny a dem. 6 Ony take one day fo da Israel king Pekah, Remaliah boy, an his guys fo kill 120,000 Judah army guys, an all a dem, guys dat know how fo fight real good. All dat happen, cuz da Judah peopo wen bag from Da One In Charge, da God fo dea ancesta guys. 7 Zikri, one strong Efraim army guy, kill Maaseiah, King Ahaz boy, an Azrikam da leada guy in charge a da palace, an Elkanah, da numba two guy dat stay in charge unda da king. 8 Da Israel guys catch 200,000 wifes, boys, an girls from dea braddahs da Judah guys. Dey make um prisonas, an dey take plenny stuffs from dem too, dat dey carry back Samaria side.

9 But get one guy Samaria side name Oded, dat talk fo Da One In Charge. He go out fo meet da army guys wen dey come back Samaria town. He tell dem, “You know wat?! Da One In Charge, da God fo yoa ancesta guys, he stay real huhu wit da Judah peopo. Az how come he give you guys da powa fo win ova dem. But you guys wen go all out fo kill dem. You guys wen come real plenny huhu an God in da sky see dat. 10 An now, you guys tink fo make da Judah an Jerusalem guys an wahines yoa slaves! But you guys get blame jalike dem, fo do real bad kine stuff agains yoa God, Da One In Charge. 11 Eh, you lissen! Sen back yoa braddah guys, da Judah guys an wahines dat you guys wen catch an make dem prisonas, cuz Da One In Charge stay real huhu wit you guys!”

12 Den some a da leada guys fo da Efraim ohana: Azariah Jehohanan boy, Berekiah Meshillemot boy, Jehizkiah Shallum boy, an Amasa Hadlai boy, dey stan up agains da guys dat come back from da war. 13 Dey tell, “You guys betta not bring dose prisona guys ova hea! Cuz you know, we goin get da blame fo dat in front Da One In Charge. You guys wen tink fo give us even mo blame awready! An us awready get plenny blame, an Da One In Charge stay real huhu wit us Israel guys!”

14 So da Israel army guys let go da prisonas. Dey all give back all dea stuffs in front all da leada guys an all da Israel peopo. 15 Da guys da peopo wen pick fo take kea da prisonas, an from all da stuffs da army guys wen rip off, dey put clotheses on top all da prisonas dat stay naked. Dey give dem clotheses, slippas, food, an stuff fo drink, an put oil on top dea cuts fo make um come good. All da peopo dat stay weak, dey put dem on top donkeys an lead um. Dass how dey bring dem back nea da odda Judah peopo, to Jericho town, dat dey call Date Palm Town too. An den da Samaria guys go back home.

16 Dat time, Ahaz da Judah king sen messenjas by da Assyria king, fo aks da Assyria king fo help him. 17 Cuz one mo time, da Edom guys wen awready come back an attack da Judah guys, an make um prisonas. 18 Da Filisha guys too, dey go afta some towns inside da low Judah hills an da Negev boonies, an take away prisonas. Dey take ova Bet-Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederot, Soco an da small towns nea dea, Timnah an da small towns nea dea, an Gimzo, an da small towns nea dea, an dey go live inside dose towns. 19 Dass how Da One In Charge wen make da Judah peopo lose face cuz a King Ahaz, da Judah king. Cuz Ahaz no hold back da Judah peopo from do bad kine stuff. Da way Ahaz ack, Da One In Charge no can trus um. 20 Tiglat-Pileser, da Assyria king, come by Ahaz. But he put plenny presha on Ahaz, an no make him come mo strong notting. 21 Ahaz take some a da tings dat cost plenny from da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an da palace, an da prince guys, an give um to da Assyria king, but dat no help Ahaz too.

22 Da time wen Ahaz get plenny trouble, even mo he ack so Da One In Charge no can trus um. 23 He make sacrifice to da Damascus gods, no matta da Damascus guys wen win ova him. He figga, “Cuz da gods fo da Aram kings wen help dem, I goin make sacrifice fo dose gods, fo dem help me too!” But az was da ting dat make Ahaz an his Judah peopo come weak.

24 Ahaz take all da tings da pries guys use inside da Temple Fo God, an chop um in small piece. He shut da doors fo da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an put up altars fo odda gods on ery street corna inside Jerusalem. 25 He make sacrifice places on top da hills inside ery town inside Judah, fo burn up sacrifices fo odda gods. Dass how he make Da One In Charge, da God fo his ancesta guys, come real huhu.

26 All da odda stuff dat happen wen Ahaz stay king, an da way he make, from da start to da end, all dat stay write inside da Book Bout Da Kings Fo Judah An Israel. 27 ✡Ahaz mahke an res wit his ancesta guys. Dey bury him inside Jerusalem town, but dey no put him inside da graves fo da Israel kings. His boy Hezekiah come king afta him.

29

He figga he goin broke down dea wall an take um ova. 2 Hezekiah see dat Sennakerib come wit one plan fo make war agains Jerusalem town. 3 Az why Hezekiah talk wit his town an army leada guys bout how fo make da watta stop from da pukas fo watta outside Jerusalem. His guys like help him. 4 Plenny guys come an dey make all da watta stop from all da pukas aroun dea. Same ting fo da stream dat go thru da districk. Dey tell, “No good we let da Assyria king guys come an find plenny watta!” 5 Den Hezekiah work hard fo fix all da parts a da wall dat stay broke. He build towas on top da wall. He build anodda wall outside da firs wall, an make strong da flat places dat hold up da wall aroun da ol part a Jerusalem wea David start his town befo time. An he make plenny tings can use fo fight, an shields.

6 He pick army leada guys fo stay in charge a da peopo. He bring dem togedda in front him inside da open place inside da main town gate, an tell dem good kine words. He tell: 7 “Come strong an no lose fight! No sked o lose fight cuz a da Assyria king an da big army he bring wit him! Cuz da One dat stay wit us guys, get mo plenny powa den wat da Assyria king get wit him, you know! 8 Da ones wit him, dey ony peopo, dey not real strong. But oua side, us get oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us guys. He stay wit us fo help us an fo fight oua war!” Az why da army guys figga dey can handle cuz a wat Hezekiah da Judah king wen tell um.

9 Laytas, wen Sennakerib da Assyria king an all his army guys attack Lakish town, Sennakerib sen his helpa guys Jerusalem side fo tell dis to Hezekiah da Judah king, an to all da Judah peopo dat stay dea:

10 “Dis, da message from me, Sennakerib da Assyria king: Wat make you guys tink you can stay inside Jerusalem wen us guys put oua army guys all aroun yoa town? 11 Hezekiah make you guys tink lidis, ‘Wen da Assyria king come afta us guys, oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, goin get us outa trouble from him!’ But Hezekiah ony bulai you guys. He goin make you guys mahke from stay hungry an thirsty. 12 No foget dat Hezekiah, he da guy dat take down awready da sacrifice places on top da hills an da altars fo dis god Da One In Charge. An Hezekiah tell da Judah an Jerusalem peopo, ‘You guys gotta go down in front da one altar inside da Temple, fo burn sacrifice ony on top dat one.’

13 “Fo shua, you guys donno how me an da odda Assyria king guys befo me wen make to da peopos inside da odda lands! No way dea gods get dem outa trouble an no let me take ova dem! 14 From all da peopos dat my ancesta guys wen wipe out, no mo anodda god wen help dose peopos fo get outa trouble from me an my guys. Den how yoa god goin get you guys outa trouble from me an my guys? No can! 15 So! No let Hezekiah bulai you guys lidat. No trus him, cuz no mo anodda god from odda peopo stay strong enuff fo get dea peopo outa da powa dat me an my ancesta guys get. Az why yoa gods no goin get you guys outa my powa!”

16 Sennakerib army leadas wen talk even mo plenny agains God, Da One In Charge, an agains his worka guy Hezekiah. 17 King Sennakerib write odda lettas too. He talk bad bout Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, an tell dis agains him: “Da gods fo da peopos from da odda lands no can get dea peopo outa trouble from me! Same ting, dis god Hezekiah pray to, no goin get his peopo outa trouble from me!” 18 Den da Assyria guys yell real loud. Dey use da Hebrew language fo make shua da Jerusalem peopo dat stay on top da town wall hear um. Az cuz da Assyria guys like make da Judah guys come real sked an lose fight, fo da Assyria guys take ova da town. 19 Da Assyria guys talk bout da Jerusalem God jalike dey talk bout da gods fo da peopos inside odda countries—no matta dose gods, dey tings dat peopo make.

20 King Hezekiah an Isaiah, Amoz boy, da guy dat talk fo God, dey pray to Da One In Charge bout dis an call out to him inside da sky fo help dem. 21 Az why Da One In Charge sen one angel messenja guy. He wipe out all da Assyria army guys, da officer guys, an da army leada guys inside da camp fo da Assyria king. Az why Sennakerib go back his land an lose face an come plenny shame. An wen he go inside da temple fo his god, some a his boys kill him dea wit dea swords.

22 Dass how Da One In Charge get Hezekiah an da Jerusalem peopo outa trouble from Sennakerib da Assyria king, an from all da oddas. Da One In Charge take kea dem all ova da land. 23 Plenny peopo bring presents fo Da One In Charge inside Jerusalem. Dey bring presents dat cost plenny fo Hezekiah, da Judah king, too. From dat time erybody inside all da lands get plenny respeck fo him.

Tings Go Good Fo Hezekiah,

(2 Kings 20:1-21; Isaiah 37:21-38; 38:1-8)

24 Dat time, Hezekiah come sick an litto mo mahke. He pray to Da One In Charge. Da One In Charge talk to him an give him one awesome sign dat he goin come good. 25 But laytas, Hezekiah come high nose, da way he tink. So he no tink bout Da One In Charge, dat wen make nice to him. Az why Da One In Charge come real huhu wit him an da peopo inside Judah an Jerusalem. 26 Laytas, Hezekiah come sorry cuz he wen come high nose, an same ting fo da Jerusalem peopo. Az why Da One In Charge no come huhu agains dem wen Hezekiah still stay alive.

27 Hezekiah get plenny rich kine stuffs an plenny respeck. He make places fo store his silva an gold, an jewels, spices, shields, an all kine rich stuff. 28 An he tell his guys make buildings fo store wheat an barley, da new wine, an da olive oil. Dey make places fo all kine cows, sheeps, an goats too. 29 He build towns an get plenny sheeps, goats, an cows, cuz God make him come real rich.

An he build altars fo da Baal kine gods, an put up tiki poses fo da wahine god Asherah.

But dass ony if dey make shua dey do eryting I wen tell dem fo do—dass all da Rules I wen give Moses fo teach dem, an da tings I tell dey gotta do fo judge da right way.” 9 But Manasseh lead da Judah an Jerusalem peopo da wrong way. Az why dey do even mo bad kine stuff den da odda peopos dat Da One In Charge wen wipe out wen da Israel peopo come dea.

10 Da One In Charge talk to Manasseh an his peopo, but dey neva lissen. 11 Az why Da One In Charge bring agains da Israel peopo da army leadas fo da Assyria king. Dey catch Manasseh, an make him prisona. Dey put one hook thru his nose, chain him up wit bronze metal leg chains, an make um walk all da way Babylon side. 12 Manasseh suffa plenny.

Da New Altar Fo Make Sacrifices

1 Dat year Octoba, afta all da Israel peopo pau make house inside dea towns, dey all come togedda Jerusalem town fo stick togedda. 2 ✡Dat time, Jeshua Jehozadak boy an some a da odda pries guys, an Zerubbabel Shealtiel boy an his ohana, dey start fo build da altar fo da God fo da Israel peopo. Befo time da Babylon army guys wen bus up da altar. But now da Israel peopo like make sacrifices fo God on top da altar. Dey like do dat jalike Moses, God guy from long time befo time, wen give um da Rules fo do um. 3 ✡Da peopo dat come back, dey sked a da peopo from anodda place dat come dea afta da Babylon army guys take away da Israel peopo befo time. But dat no matta. Da ones dat come back make one new altar, da same place wea da ol altar was dat wen get bus up.

An same ting fo da odda spesho religious ceremonies dat Da One In Charge befo time tell um dey suppose to make. Jus cuz dey like do someting spesho fo Da One In Charge, dey bring dea animals fo make odda kine sacrifices. 6 Fo fifteen days befo da Time Fo Live Inside Shacks start, da pries guys make da kine burn up sacrifice ery day fo Da One In Charge, even befo dey start fo put da foundation fo da new Temple Fo Da One In Charge.

Da New Temple

7 Den da peopo hire stone worka guys an carpinta guys. Dey buy plenny cedar tree from da Tyre an Sidon peopo, an pay um wit food, wine, an olive oil. Da guys dat cut da tree bring um down from da Lebanon mountain an float um nea da shore inside da Mediterranean Sea, all da way to Joppa town, cuz King Cyrus awready tell um az okay fo do dat.

8 In da numba two year afta dey come back Jerusalem town, aroun March, dey start fo build da Temple Fo God. Da worka guys was erybody dat wen come back from Babylon.

Den all da peopo yell loud an tell good tings bout Da One In Charge, cuz now da Temple Fo Da One In Charge get foundation.

12 But plenny pries guys an Levi ohana guys an leada guys dat was older, dey no foget how da firs Temple was befo time wen come bus up. Az why dey cry plenny wen dey see da foundation fo da new Temple. But da younga peopo, dey yell plenny cuz dey stay real good inside. 13 Peopo dat stay far from dea hear da big noise. Some a dem stay yell cuz dey stay good inside, an some a dem stay cry plenny!

Da Odda Peopos No Like Dem Build Da Temple

1 Da odda peopo dass not Jew guys, dat awready stay dea, dey stay agains da Judah an Benjamin peopo. Dose guys find out da peopo dat come back from Babylon wen start fo build one new Temple Fo Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo. 2 ✡Cuz a dat, da peopo dass not Jew guys go by Zerubbabel an da odda leada guys. Dey tell, “Us like work wit you guys fo build da Temple. Cuz us guys pray to yoa God, jalike you guys. From da time King Esarhaddon bring us ova hea from Assyria side, us guys stay make sacrifice to yoa God.”

3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, an da odda leada guys fo da Israel peopo tell um, “Dis job fo build da Temple, az fo us guys, not fo you guys. Ony us guys, da ones dat goin build da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, da God fo us Israel peopo. Cuz dass how King Cyrus Persia side wen tell us we gotta do.”

4 From dat time, da odda peopos dass not Jew guys dat live aroun dea make da Judah peopo lose fight, an try fo make um real sked fo dem no go work. 5 Da odda peopos pay some guys fo teach dem da bestes way fo jam up da work da Judah peopo get plan fo do, an dey make um stop da work. Fo long time dey do all dis kine stuff, from da time Cyrus was da big king Persia side, till afta Darius Numba Two take ova.

Sixty Year Laytas, Da Odda Peopos Try Fo Stop Dem Build One Mo Time

6 Long time afta dat, same ting happen one mo time. Anodda king name Xerxes come da big king Persia side. Da peopo dat stay agains da Judah peopo write anodda letta fo sen to King Xerxes fo poin finga da Judah an Jerusalem peopo.

7 An layta, wen Artaxerxes come da big king fo da Persia land afta King Xerxes, da peopo dat stay agains da Judah peopo do da same ting one mo time. Dea leadas was Bishlam, Mitredat, an Tabeel. Dey use da Aram language fo write da letta. Wen da letta get to Persia, da peopo dea write um in da Persia language fo da big king ova dea read um. 8 Dea main govmen guy fo Judah, Rehum, an da secretary fo da court, Shimshai, wen write one letta fo King Artaxerxes, an tell him bout da tings dat stay happen Jerusalem side. 9 Inside da letta, da peopo dat live aroun Jerusalem sen dea aloha to da king an all his frenz—from da main govmen guy Rehum an Shimshai da court secretary, an all da judge guys, da local leada guys, da peopo from Tappel, da Persia peopo, an da peopo from Babylon town, Erech town, an Susa town (dass da main town Elam side). 10 All da odda peopos dat da big an importan King Ashurbanipal kick outa dea land befo time an make um go live Samaria side, an all ova da West Eufrates Side, all dem sen dea aloha to you too. Dis, da letta dey wen write fo Artaxerxes:

11 “Aloha. Dis letta fo King Artaxerxes, from da peopo dat stay tight wit you, an dat live inside da West Eufrates Side.

12 “We like you know dis: Da Jew guys dat wen come hea Jerusalem town from Babylon, dey stay build one big town. Dey no like do wat da king tell um fo do cuz dey real bad peopo. Dey awready build da foundation fo da strong wall aroun da town, an dey almos pau put up da wall.

13 “But we like you know anodda ting too: If dey build dis town dat was all bus up, an if dey pau build da walls, no goin be good fo you. Da Jew guys no goin pay you da tax money, no matta you da King.

14 “Us guys like stay tight wit you cuz you oua King! We no like see peopo jalike da Jew guys no show respeck fo you. Az why we stay sen dis letta, so you goin know wat dey stay do.

15 “Good if you look inside da court records dat yoa ancesta guys wen write. You goin find out how da peopo from dis big town wen like ovathrow da govmen from Babylon side befo time. Az why da Babylon kings wen sen dea army guys fo wipe out da town. From long time befo time, da Jerusalem peopo make trouble agains all da diffren countries dat take um ova, an agains dea king guys. 16 We stay tell you now, dat if dey pau build dis town one mo time an put up da strong wall all aroun, you no goin stay in charge a da West Eufrates Side.”

17 King Artaxerxes write dis letta back to dem:

“Aloha. Dis letta fo Govna Rehum, Court Secretary Shimshai, an dea peopo dat stay live Samaria town an all ova da West Eufrates Side.

18 “Da letta you guys wen sen me wit da Aram language, peopo hea wen write um my language fo somebody read um to me. 19 I wen tell my peopo fo look inside da court records. Jalike you tell, befo time Jerusalem town was one place dat fo long time make war wit plenny kings. Dey go agains da kings an talk bad bout da govmen an dey do dat all da time! 20 Da kings from dat side dat wen live inside Jerusalem an da whole West Eufrates Side, dey was strong, an dey get plenny tax money from ova dea dat side.

21 “Az why tell da Jerusalem peopo dat me, da Big King, tell dis: Dey no can work. Ony if I tell um fo build um, den az okay fo dem build um! But dass da ony way dey goin build up dat town dat stay all bus up. 22 Tell um dey gotta stop. No good us guys let um take ova an jam up eryting fo me, da King!”

23 Wen dat letta from King Artaxerxes come back to Rehum, Shimshai, an da odda guys, dey go real fas to Jerusalem town, an dey make da Jew guys stop da work. Dass wat wen happen all ova one mo time, plenny year afta da Zerubbabel guys do dea work.

Zerubbabel Start Fo Build One Mo Time

24 ✡Da peopo wit Zerubbabel, dey get plenny presha from da odda peopos dat live aroun dea. Az how dey stop da work fo build da Temple Fo God Jerusalem side. So notting happen ova dea from King Cyrus time, till da year numba two afta King Darius come da big king Persia side.

1 ✡Dat time, had two guys, Haggai an Iddo boy Zekariah, dat stay talk fo da God fo da Israel peopo. Dey talk to da Jew guys Judah side an Jerusalem town. 2 ✡Cuz a wat dey tell, Shealtiel boy Zerubbabel an Jehozadak boy Jeshua start fo build da Temple Fo God inside Jerusalem one mo time. Da two guys dat stay talk fo God, dey stay by Zerubbabel an Jeshua an help dem.

3 Az why Tatnai, govna fo da West Eufrates Side, an Shetar-Boznai an dea helpa guys come Jerusalem. Dey tell Zerubbabel guys, “Eh! Who tell you guys can build dis Temple dat was all bus up, an fo build da place one mo time, aah?!” 4 Da govna guys tell Zerubbabel guys dey gotta give um da names fo all da peopo dat stay work fo build da Temple. 5 But God, dis how he take kea da Jew leada guys: Da govna guys like tell da Jews dey no can build, but dey neva tell um yet, cuz firs, dey gotta make one report fo King Darius Persia side, den, dey gotta wait fo da King write dem back one letta.

Govna Tatnai Write Letta To King Darius

6 Dis da letta dat Tatnai da govna fo da West Eufrates Side wen write, togedda wit Shetar-Boznai an da odda govmen guys from da West Eufrates Side. Dey sen um to King Darius Numba Two:

7 “Dis letta fo King Darius. We like eryting stay good fo you.

8 “Us guys like you know, we wen go da place wea dey stay build da Temple Fo Da Big God, Judah side. Dey stay use cut stone block an big kine beam fo da wall. Erybody bus ass, an eryting stay go good fo dem. 9 So we talk to dem, an aks um, ‘Who wen tell you guys you can build dis Temple one mo time dat was all bus up, an make um come nice one mo time?’ 10 An we tell da Jew leadas fo give us guys da names fo all dea leada guys, fo us write down fo you dat stay in charge.

11 “Dis wat da Jew leadas wen tell us: ‘Us, we da worka guys fo da God dat stay in charge a da sky an da world. We stay build dis Temple dat wen get all bus up. Long time befo time, one big king fo da Israel peopo wen build um. 12 ✡But oua ancesta guys wen do plenny kine stuff dat make da God in da sky come huhu wit us. So God wen let King Nebukadnezza from Babylon take ova dem. Dat king wen tell his guys fo bus up dis Temple an make da peopo move Babylon side.

13 ✡“ ‘Da year King Cyrus come King fo Babylon, he make one govmen paypa dat tell, good fo build dis Temple one mo time. 14 Had plenny gold an silva tings dat King Nebukadnezza wen take outa da Temple Jerusalem side. He wen put um inside da Babylon temple. King Cyrus wen take all dat stuff outa da temple Babylon side, an turn um ova to one guy name Sheshbazza. Den he make dat guy da territorial govna fo da Judah land. 15 King Cyrus tell Sheshbazza, “Go take all dis stuffs, an put um inside da Temple Jerusalem side. Den you guys go build da House Fo God one mo time, same place jalike befo time.” 16 So dis guy Sheshbazza, he come ova hea an make da foundation fo da House Fo God inside Jerusalem. From dat time till now, da peopo stay work, but still not pau yet.’

17 “So den, King Darius, if you tink az good, tell yoa peopo fo look inside da records fo da kings ova dea Babylon side. Tell um fo look if az right, dat King Cyrus wen make one govmen paypa dat tell can build da House Fo God Jerusalem side. So wateva good fo you, tell us guys, cuz you da King.”

King Darius Numba Two Sen Letta

1 So King Darius Numba Two tell his peopo fo go look inside da Babylon records. (Dis da odda King Darius grankid.) 2 But dey neva find notting dea. Dey find um Medea side, inside da town wit da strong wall dat dey call Ekbatana. Dey find one paypa dat stay roll up. An dis wat da paypa tell:

Govmen Paypa:

3 Da firs year Cyrus was King, he make dis govmen paypa bout da House Fo God Jerusalem side: “Gotta build da Temple one mo time, da same place wea befo time da Jew guys make dea sacrifices. Keep da foundation same size jalike befo time. Make um 45 feet wide, 90 feet long, an 30 feet high. 4 Use cut stone block, three course high, den one course wood, den stone, den wood, lidat. Use da King money fo pay fo eryting. 5 Get plenny gold an silva tings from da House Fo God. Befo time, King Nebukadnezza wen take dem outa da Temple dat wen stay Jerusalem side, an bring um Babylon side. So, take all dat stuff back to Jerusalem an put um inside da Temple Jerusalem side, jalike dey wen stay befo time inside da House Fo God.” Dass wat King Cyrus write befo time.

6 King Darius Numba Two sen dis message:

“Dis letta fo Govna Tatnai, West Eufrates Side, an fo Shetar-Boznai, an all you odda frenz an offisho govmen guys, West Eufrates Side:

“You betta not go dea Jerusalem side! 7 No bodda da work dey stay do fo build da House Fo God. Let da Judah territorial govna guy an da Jew leada guys build dis House Fo God one mo time, da same place jalike befo time.

8 “But dis wat I stay tell you guys fo do: Go help da Jew leada guys fo build da Temple Fo God one mo time. Take da tax money dat you guys stay take fo me ova dea West Eufrates Side, an pay fo all da work. No wase time, no good dey gotta stop da work. 9 Wateva da pries guys need Jerusalem side, give um—young bulls, boy an girl kine sheeps fo make one sacrifice fo Da God Dat Stay Inside Da Sky. Make shua dey get da wheat, salt, wine, an olive oil dat dey need ery day, 10 fo dem make da kine sacrifices dat Da God Dat Stay Inside Da Sky like, an dey goin pray fo me da King fo stay alive, an fo my boys.

11 “Anybody go change dis an no do how I tell um, you guys gotta pull one beam outa dat guy house, make um sharp one side, den poke um thru da guy body fo kill um. Bus up da guy house an make um one rubbish pile. 12 God wen pick Jerusalem town fo be da place wea peopo can come cuz dey know wat kine god him. So den, if any king, o any peopo, change dis ting I tell hea, o if dey bus up dis Temple Jerusalem side, I like da God fo da Jew guys, bus dem up. Dis me, King Darius, dat stay tell you all dis. So do um, an no wase time!”

Dey Give Da Temple To God

13 Den, cuz a wat King Darius wen tell dem, Govna Tatnai, Shetar-Boznai, an dea helpa guys go do eryting King Darius tell um fo do, right den an dea. 14 ✡So da Jew leada guys no stop da work. Dey feel real good inside cuz da guys Haggai an Zekariah Iddo boy, dat talk fo God, give um good words wen dey teach um. Afta long time, dey pau build da Temple, jalike da God fo da Israel peopo wen tell um fo do, an jalike da Kings fo da Persia peopo, Cyrus, Darius, an Artaxerxes wen tell um fo do. 15 Dey pau build da Temple March 12, da numba 6 year dat Darius was King.

16 Den dey make one spesho day fo give da Temple to God. Da Israel peopo—dass da prieses, da Levi ohana guys, an all da odda peopo dat come back from Babylon—dey feel real good inside. 17 Fo give da Temple to God, dey make plenny sacrifice. Dey kill hundred young bulls, two hundred boy kine sheeps, an four hundred bebe sheeps. Dey bring twelve boy kine goats fo make one sacrifice fo take away da shame fo all da bad tings dey wen do, one goat fo ery Israel ohana. 18 Den dey make da teams fo da pries guys work togedda inside da Temple Fo God Jerusalem side, an same ting fo da Levi ohana peopo dat help da prieses. Dey do um jalike da Rules tell um fo do, eryting dat Moses wen write down fo dem inside his book.

Da Spesho Passova Day

19 ✡April 21, da peopo dat come back from Babylon all eat da Passova food. 20 Az okay fo do dat cuz all da pries guys an dea helpas from da Levi ohana wen awready make da right sacrifices fo dem go in front God. Az why okay fo dem work inside da Temple. Da pries guys kill da bebe sheeps fo da Passova food, fo all da peopo dat come back from Babylon, an fo da odda pries guys, an fo dem. 21 All da Israel peopo dat come back from Babylon eat da Passova food. Odda peopo from da Judah land, dat no do all da pilau kine stuff dat dea peopos stay do, dey come jalike da Israel peopo an pray to dea God, Da One In Charge. Dey eat da Passova food too. 22 Fo seven day dey all make da spesho kine ceremony fo Da Bread Dat No Mo Yeast Inside, an dey feel real good inside cuz a dat.

Da One In Charge, da God dat Ezra pray to, like do good tings fo Ezra, an help um plenny. Az why King Artaxerxes wen give Ezra eryting he aks da king fo give him. So dat time, Ezra leave Babylon an go Jerusalem. 7 Da numba seven year dat Artaxerxes stay King, some a da Israel peopo from Babylon go wit Ezra, an some a da pries guys an da pries helpa guys from da Levi ohana, an da guys dat play da music, da guys dat get da job fo watch da Temple gates, an da guys dat stay work fo da Temple. An dey all go Jerusalem togedda.

8-9 Ezra an da odda peopo leave Babylon April 8 dat year. Dey reach Jerusalem dat same year Augus 4, cuz da God dat Ezra pray to like do good tings fo Ezra an help um plenny. 10 God like Ezra plenny, cuz Ezra make up his mind fo erytime study da Rules dat Da One In Charge wen give da peopo, an do eryting God tell um fo do, an teach da Israel peopo da Rules an all da tings God tell cuz he da judge.

Da Letta Dat King Artaxerxes Give Ezra

11 Befo Ezra da pries leave Babylon, King Artaxerxes give one letta to him, cuz Ezra da one wen study da tings Da One In Charge tell da Israel peopo dey gotta do, an da Rules Da One In Charge wen give dem. Dis wat da letta tell:

12 “Aloha! Dis letta from me, King Artaxerxes, da king ova all da odda king guys. I write um fo Ezra da pries guy, da one dat teach da Rules from da God Inside Da Sky.

13 “Dis wat I tell: Any Israel peopo dat live inside da places wea I stay da King, if get some a dem like go back Jerusalem side wit you, no matta dey prieses, o Levi ohana peopo, o regula peopo, az okay fo dem go. 14 Me an my seven guys dat help me know wat fo do, we talk bout wat you goin do.

16 “Wateva silva an gold da peopo all ova da Babylon side give you, an wateva yoa peopo an dea pries guys give you fo build da Temple fo dea God inside Jerusalem, take dat too. 17 Wit da money dat you get, you gotta buy bulls, boy kine sheeps, bebe sheeps, an wheat an wine, fo make sacrifices on top da altar inside da Temple fo yoa God ova dea inside Jerusalem. 18 If still yet get some mo money afta wat you buy fo make da sacrifices, den pray fo find out wat yoa God like fo you an yoa guys do wit da extra money, an go do um. 19 Us guys give you plenny tings fo put inside da Temple fo yoa God fo use um dea. Make shua you put eryting inside da Temple fo da God Dat Stay Live Inside Jerusalem. 20 An if you need odda tings fo da Temple fo yoa God, go use some a da tax money dat da govmen guys take fo me, da King.

21 “Fo all you govmen guys dat take kea da money fo me inside da West Eufrates Side, me, King Artaxerxes, tell you guys fo do dis: Give Ezra wateva he aks you guys fo give him. Cuz he one pries, an he teach da Rules from da God Inside Da Sky. 22 Give him up to 7,500 poun silva, enuff wheat dat need 100 donkeys fo carry um, enuff wine dat need 100 donkeys fo carry um, same ting fo da olive oil, an all da salt he need. 23 Eryting dat Da God Inside Da Sky tell fo do fo his Temple, make shua you guys do um. Cuz no good fo make dat God come huhu wit me o wit my boys! 24 An one mo ting: Fo da pries guys, dea helpa guys from da Levi ohana, da music guys, da security guards, da worka guys inside da Temple, o odda guys dat stay work fo God Temple, you govmen guys no mo da right fo tell dem dat dey gotta pay da regula tax o da tax you pay fo bring tings from odda places, o da land tax.

25 “An you, Ezra, yoa God help you know wat fo do erytime. So, pick guys dat know how fo bring peopo back togedda wen dey huhu, an pick judge guys too. Dey goin judge all da peopo dat know da Rules from yoa God inside da West Eufrates Side. Da peopo ova dea dat donno da Rules, you gotta teach dem da Rules. 26 Anybody dat no like do wat da Rules from yoa God tell, o da rules dat I make cuz I da King, go punish dem right den an dea—kill um, o throw um outa yoa land, o take da tings dey own, o put um in prison.”

Ezra Tell Good Tings
Bout Da One In Charge

27 Den Ezra tell: “I like tell erybody good tings bout Da One In Charge, da God fo oua ancesta guys. He da One dat wen make King Artaxerxes help fix da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, Jerusalem side, an make um real nice! 28 An I like tell erybody mo plenny good tings bout Da One In Charge still yet, cuz he show erybody dat he stay tight wit his peopo. Da One In Charge wen make me come tight wit da King, an da guys dat help him know wat fo do, an all da odda govmen peopo!

“Da One In Charge, my God, he like do good tings fo me, an help me plenny. Az why I wen get togedda da leada guys fo da Israel peopo fo come go Jerusalem wit me.”

Cuz us guys wen tell da King befo time, “Oua God, he stay take kea all da peopo dat stay pray to him, but he stay real huhu agains all da peopo dat stay ack jalike he notting.” 23 Dass why us guys skip food fo us pray. We aks God plenny fo take kea us guys. An he lissen an he take kea us.

Ezra Pick Pries Guys

24 Den I pick twelve a da main pries guys: Sherebaiah, Hashabiah, an ten odda leada guys from da prieses. 25 I make dem in charge a da Temple kine stuffs, da silva, da gold, da gold bowls. Had plenny odda stuffs dat da king an his leada guys, an da Israel peopo dat was dea, wen give us guys fo put inside da Temple Fo God. 26 Wen I give dem all da stuffs dat cost plenny dat we goin take, I weigh eryting. Dis how much eryting weigh:

All dis silva an gold kine stuff, da peopo wen bring um to Da One In Charge cuz dey like fo do dat. He da God dat oua ancesta guys wen pray to. 29 Take good kea a all dis tings.

Ezra Hear Bout Guys
Dat Marry Wahines Dass Not Jews

1 Wen all dat pau, da leada guys come by me. Dey tell, “Da Israel peopo, prieses an Levi ohana guys an regula kine peopo, dey no ack jalike dey spesho fo God. Dey stay come jalike da odda peopos dat donno God, dat live inside dis land an odda lands. Oua peopo stay do da same pilau kine stuff jalike da Canaan peopo, da Het peopo, da Periz peopo, da Jebus peopo, da Ammon peopo, da Moab peopo, da Egypt peopo, an da Amor peopo. 2 Oua guys take all da peopos daughtahs fo come dea wifes, an wifes fo dea boys. So now, da ohana dat stay spesho fo God come all hapa Jews wit da peopos from da odda places dat donno God. An da leada guys fo da Israel ohanas, dey da main ones dat stay go agains wat God trus um fo do!”

3 Wen I hear dat, I come real sad inside. Den I rip my clotheses an my robe fo show I feel bad. I pull hair outa my head an my beard. I jus sit dea an no can figga an no can do notting. 4 Den get odda peopo dat stay sked an shaking too cuz dey know wat da God Fo Da Israel Peopo tell. Dey all come sit down by me cuz dey know dat some a da peopo dat wen come back from Babylon, no stay lissen an no do wat God trus um fo do. Me, I stay sit dea, no can figga an no can do notting, till time fo make da late aftanoon sacrifice.

Ezra Pray Fo Know Wat Fo Do

5 Wen time fo make da sacrifice, I stan up. All dat day I no eat notting so can pray. My clotheses an my robe, stay rip, fo erybody know I stay sad inside. I go down on my knees on top da groun, an I put up my hands to my God, Da One In Charge. 6 I tell: “You, my God! But I stay get plenny shame! Real plenny shame, so I no can even look up to you, my God. Da bad tings us guys stay do, jalike one big pile a rubbish dat mo high den oua head! Da shame fo do all dat bad kine stuff, jalike go all da way up to da sky! 7 From da time oua ancesta guys wen live to now, us guys get uku pile a shame. An cuz a da bad kine stuff us guys stay do, you wen let da kings from odda lands take ova us guys—oua kings an prieses an erybody. Dey kill us wit swords, an drag us away fo work fo dem. Dey take eryting we get, an dey make us come plenny shame. An dat stay happen one mo time right now!

8 “An jus now, you oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, you wen help us plenny fo short time an do good tings fo us. You wen leave some a us guys fo stay alive, an let us come back to dis place dat stay good an spesho fo you. You even make us happy litto bit. No matta we ony slaves, you help us fo stay alive. 9 Even us guys wen stay slaves fo shua, you oua God, an you wen stay tight wit yoa peopo no matta us slaves. Az why you neva go way from us guys. You even make da king guys Persia side do good tings fo us. You make us jalike we come alive one mo time, fo us build yoa Temple one mo time, an fix da tings dat stay all bus up. You let us build one strong wall fo da Judah peopo Jerusalem side.

10 “But now, cuz a all da bad kine stuff oua peopo stay do, us no can say notting to you oua God. Cuz one mo time, we awready foget da tings you tell us we gotta do, an we go do wat we not suppose to do! 11 Da guys dat befo time work fo you an talk fo you, dey wen tell us, ‘You guys betta watch out! You goin go inside one land dat goin come yoa land. Stay plenny pilau! Da diffren peopos dat stay live dea, from one side a da land to da odda side, dey ony do pilau kine stuff!’ 12 ✡You wen tell us, ‘No let yoa daughtahs marry dea boys! No let yoa boys marry dea daughtahs! No do notting fo help dose peopo, an no make eryting come good fo dem!’ You wen make one promise to us guys, dat if we no do da kine stuff you tell us fo no do, den we goin come strong, an eat da good stuff dat grow inside dis land, an wen we mahke, we goin leave da whole ting to oua kids, foeva.

13 “You wen punish us plenny awready, fo da bad tings we wen do an fo da shame we get cuz a dat. Still yet, you ony punish us litto bit fo da bad tings us wen do. An you let some a oua peopo come back hea. 14 But now, we stay broke yoa rules one mo time. We stay marry da same peopos dat stay do all da pilau kine stuff. Fo shua, now you goin come real plenny huhu wit us an wipe us out, so nobody stay alive fo come back hea fo live! 15 You Da One In Charge. You da God fo da Israel peopo. You do wass right erytime. Some a us guys come back hea now, afta we get outa trouble Babylon side. Us guys wen jam up real plenny ova hea. We no can even stan in front you cuz a da shame we get fo wat we wen do!”

10

Da Peopo Tell Was Wrong Wat Dey Wen Do

1 All dat time Ezra stay pray fo tell God dat no was right wat dey wen do. He stay cry an throw his body down on top da groun in front da Temple Fo God. Uku pile a Israel peopo come by him, guys an wahines an kids. Dey stay cry plenny too.

2 Den Shekanaiah Jehiel boy, dat come from da Elam ohana, tell Ezra: “Us guys like tell erybody, ‘Cuz a wat we wen do, oua God no can trus us.’ We wen marry wahines from da peopos dat donno God dat live inside dis land! But now, no matta us do dis, us Israel peopo can stay shua dat God goin make eryting come okay fo us. 3 Dis wat we betta do: We make one strong promise fo make one deal wit oua God fo sen back all oua wifes an dea kids dat come from da odda peopos. Eh Ezra, you da boss ova hea, an dass wat you stay tell us. An all da oddas dat stay sked an shaking wen dey hear wat oua God tell um fo do, dey stay tell us da same ting. Az why we goin do wat you tell us fo do. We goin do how da Rules From God tell. 4 Eh Ezra! Stay strong! You da one fo tell us guys wat we gotta do fo make eryting come pono. We goin stay tight wit you!”

5 So Ezra stan up. He make da main pries guys, an da Levi ohana guys, an all da odda Israel peopo make one strong promise to God dat dey goin do jalike Shekanaiah tell. So dey all make da same strong promise to God.

Da Peopo Sen Back Dea Wifes An Kids From Da Peopos Dat Donno God

6 Den Ezra go way from da Temple Fo God. He go by Jehohanan, Eliashib boy. He sleep dea dat nite. He no eat bread o drink watta wen he stay dea cuz he still stay sad inside cuz he no can trus da peopo dat wen come back from Babylon. 7 Da nex day, da leada guys sen one message all ova da Judah land an Jerusalem town. Dey tell all da peopo dat come back from Babylon fo come togedda Jerusalem town. 8 Dey tell erybody, “Day afta tomorra, anybody dat no show up hea, da govmen guys an da older leadas goin take away dea land an eryting dey own, an cut dem off from da peopo dat come back from Babylon.”

9 Two days afta dat, Decemba 19, all da peopo from da Judah an Benjamin land come togedda. Dey all stay sit down inside da open place in front da Temple Fo God. Dey stay shake cuz da ting dey goin talk bout stay real importan, an cuz stay rain plenny same time. 10 Den Ezra da pries guy stan up an tell dem, “You guys wen do one bad ting, so God no can trus you. You guys go marry wahines from da odda peopos dat donno God. Az why now God stay ready fo punish us Israel guys one mo time! 11 So now, tell da God fo yoa ancesta guys dat you know da tings you wen do was bad cuz he Da One In Charge. Den do wateva he like you fo do. Make diffren den da odda peopos dat donno God dat stay live inside dis land, an sen back yoa wifes dat come from da odda peopos.”

Da Plan Fo Make Eryting Come Right

12 All da peopo dat wen come togedda dea, dey talk strong, an dey tell, “Az right, wat you tell us. Us guys gotta do jalike you tell us fo do! 13 But Bummahs! Get plenny peopo hea, an stay rain plenny. Us guys no can stay stan outside hea long time. An dis not da kine ting dat need ony one o two days fo do. Cuz get plenny a us guys dat wen go agains God, an az real bad. 14 Let oua leada guys take kea dis fo all da peopo. Erybody dat get one wife from da peopos dat donno God, dey gotta make time fo come show up in front da older leada guys an da judge guys inside ery town. Dass how we goin do um, till oua God no stay huhu wit all us guys no moa.” 15 Da ony guys dat tell dey no like do dat was Jonathan Asahel boy an Jahzeiah Tikvah boy. Two guys from da Levi ohana, Meshullam an Shabbetai, dey no like do dat too.

16 So, dass how da peopo dat come back from Babylon side sen back dea wifes. Ezra da pries guy, he pick leada guys dat can talk fo ery ohana, an he tell erybody da names a da guys he wen pick.

Da Nehemiah Story

1

Nehemiah Pray Fo His Peopo

1 Dis da Nehemiah story. Nehemiah tell bout wat wen happen to him. He Hakaliah boy. He tell dis:

Nehemiah Tink Plenny Bout Jerusalem

Artaxerxes was king inside Persia. Was Novemba, da numba 20 year dat he stay king. Dat time, I stay live inside Susa town. Az da main town wea da king live. 2 One a my braddahs, Hanani, come fo visit me ova dea wit some odda guys dat jus come back from da Judah land. I aks dem bout Jerusalem town, an bout da Jew guys dat da Babylon army wen go take Babylon side befo time, an now dey go back Judah side fo live. 3 Dey tell me, “Da Babylon king wen take away oua peopo from dea land an bring um ova hea Babylon side. Laytas, plenny peopo wen go back Jerusalem side fo live inside Judah. But tings no stay good ova dea you know. Cuz stay real hard fo dem, an da odda peopos ova dea stay make dem plenny shame. Da Babylon army guys wen broke down da strong wall aroun Jerusalem town, an burn down da gates.

4 “Wen I hear dis, I sit down an cry plenny. Fo days I stay cry, an no eat notting so can pray. I stay pray in front da God dat live inside da sky.”

5 Dis wat I tell: “You Da One In Charge, you da God dat live inside da sky! You da big an awesome God. You wen make one deal fo da peopo dat get love an aloha fo you, da ones dat stay do wat you tell um fo do. An you stay tight wit yoa peopo cuz you wen make dat deal wit dem. 6 Try look down hea. I stay pray day time an nite time fo you help yoa peopo, da Israel peopo. I stay tell you fo real kine, us Israel peopo wen do plenny bad kine tings agains you. Me an all my ohana peopo, us do bad kine tings! 7 We stay do real bad kine tings agains you. We no do da tings you stay tell us fo do. You wen give yoa worka guy Moses yoa Rules an all da tings we gotta do, but we no do um.

8 ✡“No foget wat you wen tell yoa worka guy Moses. You tell um: ‘If da way you guys ack show I no can trus you, den I goin make you guys scatta all ova da place fo live unda all da diffren peopos. 9 ✡But if you guys come back an change how you ack, be my guys, an stay do all da tings I tell you gotta do, den I goin bring you guys back. I goin bring you guys togedda ova dea, da place I wen pick fo show wat kine god me fo you guys show respeck fo me. No matta you guys stay far place all ova da world, I goin bring you guys back!’

10 “All us guys, we get you fo oua boss. Us da peopo you wen get outa trouble, cuz you strong, an you get plenny powa! 11 Eh! You my boss, so I stay praying hard fo you fo lissen good. Get odda peopo, you da boss fo dem too, an dey stay good inside cuz dey know wat kine god you, no matta dey sked wen dey in front you. Dey stay tell you da same ting. So I like you make eryting come good fo me today. Cuz I goin aks da King fo do someting real good fo me. Az why I stay aks you, God, fo make him lissen wat I get fo tell.”

Dat time, I was da guy in charge a da wine da king goin drink.

Da King Sen Nehemiah Judah Side

1 April, da numba 20 year dat Artaxerxes stay king, I bring da wine fo da King. Befo dat time, wen I bring da wine, I neva was sad in front da King. 2 So da King tell me, “Eh! How come now you get sad face?! Fo shua, you no goin get sick, aah? Gotta be, you stay sad inside.”

Me, I come real sked. 3 ✡But I tell da King, “You da King, an I like you stay live foeva! But how I can stan hea an no stay sad?! Cuz da big town wea my ancesta guys stay bury, stay all bus up. Da main gates fo da town, all burn down.”

4 Da King tell, “Wat you like me fo do?”

I wen pray inside to da God Dat Stay Inside Da Sky. 5 Den I tell da King, “You da King, an you my boss. I like you sen me ova dea Judah side, da town wea my ancesta guys stay bury fo build up da town one mo time. But ony if you tink az good, an if you tink me da one fo do um.

6 “Da King tell me (wit da Queen stay sitting nex to him too): ‘If dass wat you like do, how long you goin stay ova dea, an wat time you goin come back hea?’

“Wen he aks me dat, I know he tink az good fo sen me ova dea. I tell um wat time I goin come back. 7 Den I tell da King, ‘If you tink az good, tell yoa guys fo write lettas fo me to da territorial govna guys fo da districks West Eufrates Side. Dis, fo dem let me go thru dea districk fo go Judah side. 8 An I need one letta fo Asaf, da guy dat take kea da park wit plenny trees ova dea fo da King, fo him give me da wood fo make da beams ova da gates fo da towa, an fo da wall aroun da town, an fo da house wea I goin stay.’ ”

Da King give me wat I aks him fo, cuz God put his good hand on top me an help me.

9 Da King sen officer guys from da army, an army guys wit horses fo go wit me. I go by da govna guys fo da districks dat stay da west side a da Eufrates Riva, an I give um da lettas from da King.

10 But wen Sanballat da Horon guy an his helpa Tobiah da Ammon guy find out, dey come real huhu, cuz somebody come ova dea fo do someting good fo da Israel peopo.

Nehemiah Check Out Da Town Wall

11 I come Jerusalem an stay dea three day. 12 Den nite time I get up, me an some odda guys wit me. I no tell nobody wat God tell me fo do fo Jerusalem. Da ony animal I take was da one I stay ride on. 13 I go out nite time from da Valley Gate, an ova dea wea can see da Dragon Puka Fo Watta, den I go nea da Rubbish Gate. I check out da Jerusalem town wall dat stay all bus up, an da town gates dat stay burn down. 14 From dea, I pass by da Watta Gate to da King Watta Place. But den, no mo room by da place wea da animal I stay ride can go. 15 So I go up da valley by da stream in da dark an I check out da wall ova dea. Den I turn aroun an go back. I go inside Jerusalem thru da Valley Gate an go home my place.

Da Peopo Tell Dey Goin Build Da Wall One Mo Time

16 Da govmen guys, dey donno wea I wen go o wat I stay do.

Da Peopo Dat Stay Agains Da Jews
Make Plan Fo Fight

1 Wen Sanballat find out dat us guys stay build da wall one mo time, he get real mad, an he make fun a us Jews. 2 In front his frenz an in front da Samaria army guys, Sanballat tell, “Wat dese Jew guys stay doing?! Dey tink dey can build dat wall one mo time, o wat?! Dey tink dey can make sacrifice ova dea?! Dey tink dey can pau do da work in one day?! Dey tink dey can find da big cut stones inside da dirt piles an make um fo dem come good one mo time?! Cuz dey stay all burn up. No way dey can!”

3 Tobiah, da Ammon guy, he stan dea nex to Sanballat. He tell: “Dass right! Wat dey stay build, if one wild dog climb on top um, da whole stone wall goin fall down!”

4 Den dis how I pray:

“God, you da God us guys pray to, so lissen us!

Dey no like us guys.

Dey like us guys feel shame.

But make um so dem da ones get shame!

Make odda peopo take ova dem

An make um prisonas

Dat gotta go live anodda land!

5 No hide da bad tings dey do.

No take away dea shame,

No foget da bad kine tings dey do

Cuz dey make da builda guys come real sore inside!”

6 Us guys wen build da wall till da whole wall stay join togedda awready an no mo puka, an get ony half way mo fo build. Dat happen cuz da peopo go all out fo work.

7 But den, Sanballat an Tobiah an da Arab guys an da Ammon guys an da Ashdod guys, dey hear dat da work fo fix da Jerusalem town wall stay go good, an dat da peopo start fo fill up da places wea da wall stay bus up. Sanballat dem come real huhu bout dat. 8 Dey all make plan fo come fight da Jerusalem town an make da peopo dea come all hamajang so dey donno wat dey stay do. 9 But us guys pray to oua God, an put security guards day time an nite time all ova da place fo watch out fo dem guys.

10 But da Judah ohana guys tell, “Da guys dat bring da stuff fo fix da wall, dey tired awready. Get plenny junks from da bus up wall, az why us guys no can build da new wall.”

11 An da guys dat stay agains us tell, “Wen us guys go afta da Jew guys, dey no goin know we dea, an dey no goin see us till we stay right dea wit dem. Den we kill um an make da work stop.”

12 Da Jew guys dat live nea da guys dat stay agains us, dey come Jerusalem plenny times an tell us, “From ery place da Sanballat guys live, dey goin come back hea an fight us guys!”

13 Az why I put peopo, one ohana fo ery place, behind da low places wea da wall no stay fix yet, wit swords an spears an bows an arrows. 14 Afta I check how dey all stay, den I stan up in front da alii guys, da main leada guys, an all da odda guys. I tell um, “No sked dose Sanballat peopo! Tink plenny bout da Boss. He awesome, an good you sked a him. So den, fight fo help yoa braddah guys, an yoa boys an girls, yoa wifes, an yoa houses!”

15 Da guys dat stay agains us find out dat us guys know wat dey plan fo do, an dat God jam up dea plan awready. So us guys go back fo work on da wall, an all dem stay work on da wall jalike befoa. 16 From dat time, half my young guys do da construction work, an da odda half make ready da spears, an da shields, da bows an arrows, an da metal plate kine body armor. Da leada guys stay right dea behind da Judah peopo. 17 Da guys building da wall, an da guys bringing dem stuff, dey do dea work so all dem get one hand fo do da work, an in da odda hand he get someting fo fight wit. 18 Ery builda guy get one sword he tie aroun him. Da guy dat blow da sheep horn trumpet, he stay by me. 19 I tell da alii guys, da main leada guys, an all da odda guys, “Get peopo stay work all ova da place, you know. An all us guys stay far from da nex guy on top da wall. 20 Any place you hear da trumpet noise, dass da place you gotta go fo meet us. Oua God, he goin fight fo help us!”

21 Az how us guys do da work. Half da guys stay ready wit da spears, from befo da sun come up till you can see da stars. 22 I tell da peopo dat time too, “All da guys an da ones dat work fo dem, dey gotta stay nite time inside Jerusalem, fo dem help guard nite time, an day time dey work.” 23 All dat time, me an my worka guys an da security guard guys dat stay by me, all us guys neva take off oua clotheses. All us guys get someting fo fight wit, even wen we go fo drink watta.

Nehemiah Help Da Peopo Dat No Mo Notting

1 Dat time, plenny peopo an dea wifes stay squawk bout how da odda Jew ohana guys make to dem. 2 Some a dem tell, “Us guys, oua kids, an plenny odda peopo, we all gotta get wheat an stuff fo eat fo us no mahke.”

3 Odda peopo tell, “Da plants no stay grow dis year. Az why, fo get wheat an stuff fo eat, us guys sign paypas wit da rich Jew guys. We give um oua land fo plant, oua grape farm, an oua house, an dey give us money fo buy food. An if we no can pay um back, den we lose eryting.”

4 Odda peopo tell, “Us guys wen sign paypas fo oua land fo plant an fo oua grape farm, fo borrow money from oua peopo fo us pay da tax fo da Babylon King, an we lose eryting if we no can pay um back. 5 But us get da same blood an bones jalike da peopo from oua ohana dat we stay borrow da money from. Oua kids an dea kids, same ting. But us guys, we gotta sell oua boys an girls to dem fo make um come slaves, an some a da girls, dey slaves awready. Us no mo powa! Get odda Jew peopo dat take ova oua land fo plant, an oua grape farms too!”

6 Wen I hear how oua peopo stay yell fo help, an all da stuff dey tell, I come plenny huhu. 7 ✡Afta I tink plenny bout all dat, I take da alii guys an da govmen guys in front da judge. I tell all dem guys, “How come you guys stay take tings from yoa peopo?! You charge mo fo loan um money, an den wen dey no can pay, you charge um some moa!”

Az why I tell all da peopo fo come togedda fo do someting bout dem guys.

8 Wen erybody come togedda, I tell um, “Us guys, we stay buy back oua Jew braddah guys dat befo time peopo wen sell to da odda peopos fo make um slaves. Nuff awready, fo us guys do dat. But now, some a you guys, you stay sell yoa braddahs! An den, we gotta buy dem back too! No ways!”

Da rich guys, dey no tell notting cuz dey no mo notting fo tell.

9 Den I tell, “Da tings you guys stay do, dass not right! Mo betta you guys live da way dat show you guys sked a God! Az how da odda peopos dat stay agains us, no can say notting bad bout us! 10 Me an my braddahs, an da guys dat work fo me, we all stay lend money an wheat to da odda guys too. An we gotta no charge um too much too. 11 So, right now, give um back dea lands fo plant, dea grape farms, dea olive trees, an dea houses. Cuz you guys wen lend um money an wheat an wine an olive oil awready. But you wen charge um too much! Give um back da part dass to much!”

12 Dey tell, “We goin give um back eryting. We no goin aks fo notting no moa. We goin do um how you tell.” Den I tell da pries guys fo come, an I make da leada guys make one strong promise in front da pries guys fo do wat I tell um fo do. 13 Den I shake out da part a my robe wea I keep stuff, an I tell, “Erybody dat no do how dey wen promise, I like fo God shake dem outa dea house an all da stuffs dey wen work hard fo get fo dem no mo notting.”

All da peopo dat come togedda tell, “Az right! We gotta do um!” Dey tell good tings bout Da One In Charge. An dey go do jalike dey wen promise fo do.

Nehemiah Help Da Peopo

14 From da time dat King Artaxerxes make me govna fo da Judah land, in da numba 20 year dat he was King, till da numba 32 year, dass 12 year, me an my braddahs had da right fo use da govmen money fo buy food. But we neva do dat. We buy oua food wit da money we get. 15 But da guys dat was govna befo me, dey wen make um hard fo da peopo. Dey wen make dem bring food an wine, an all dem gotta pay 40 silva coin. Even da guys dat work fo da odda govnas, dey wen ack jalike az okay fo dem tell da peopo wat fo do too. But I neva make lidat, cuz I sked wat God goin tell if I do dat. 16 I hang in dea fo do da work fo fix dis wall. I neva buy land, an all my worka guys stick togedda fo do da work. 17 Ery day I feed 150 peopo, da Jews an da govmen guys. Had odda guys dat wen come hea from odda countries aroun us guys dat I feed um too. 18 Ery day my peopo cook fo erybody one cow, six sheeps dat dey pick spesho fo us guys, an some chickens, an dey cook um fo me. Ery ten days gotta go get plenny diffren kine wine. Still yet, wit all dat food, I no aks fo da money I get da right fo use cuz I da govna, cuz dat make da peopo work mo hard fo do all dat.

19 Dis how I stay pray:

“My God, no foget do good tings fo me

Cuz a all da good tings I stay do fo dis peopo!”

Da Local Peopo Try Fo Make Us Stop

1 Dat time, Sanballat an Tobiah an Geshem da Arab guy an da odda guys dat stay agains us hear dat me an my peopo stay build da town wall awready. Dey hear dat da wall no stay bus up no moa. (But dat time, I still neva put up da big doors fo da town gates.) 2 Sanballat an Geshem sen somebody fo tell me, “Go come fo meet us, in one small town Ono Valley side.” But I know dey stay make one plan fo do someting bad to me.

3 I sen some guys by dem fo tell um, “I get one big job fo do ova hea. Az why I no can go ova dea. No good I leave da job fo go by you guys an da work stop.” 4 Four time, dey sen peopo fo tell me come, an I tell um da same ting.

5 Da nex time afta dat, Sanballat sen one a his worka guys by me. He stay carry one letta in his hand fo show um to erybody fo dem see, befo he come by me. 6 Da letta tell:

“Da peopo from diffren country stay tell dis—an Geshem tell az fo real—dat you an da Jew guys, you stay make one plan fo fight da King. Dass how come you stay build da town wall. An from da stuff dey tell, you da guy goin come dea King. 7 An you stay tell da guys dat talk fo God Jerusalem side fo tell erybody dis bout you: ‘Now get one new king, Judah side!’ An dass wat us guys goin tell King Artaxerxes. So you betta come fo talk to us now.”

8 Den I sen somebody fo tell Sanballat, “Dis stuff you stay talk bout, neva wen happen. You ony bulai all dat.”

9 All dem Sanballat guys ony like make us come sked. Dey tink dis bout us, “Da Jew guys goin come too weak, an dey goin lose fight an no can build da wall.”

But now I pray to God fo make my hand strong!

10 One time, I wen go Shemaiah house. Delaiah his faddah, Mehetabel his granfaddah. Shemaiah, he no can go outside. Den he tell, “Good fo me an you go inside God house, inside da Temple. We go shut da doors cuz some guys coming fo kill you. Tonite, dey goin come kill you!”

11 But I tell um, “You tink I dat kine guy dat goin run away?! No way! You tink I dat kine guy, dat go inside da Temple jus fo stay alive?! Not even! I no goin go ova dea wit you!” 12 Den I figga: no was God dat sen dis guy. He make jalike he one guy dat talk fo God cuz Tobiah an Sanballat wen pay him off. 13 Dey pay him fo talk lidat, fo dem make um fo me come sked an fo me do someting bad cuz a dat, an den dey talk bad bout dat fo make me lose face an fo make me come shame.

14 I stay pray lidis:

“My God, no foget pay back Tobiah an Sanballat

Fo da bad tings dey wen do!

No foget da wahine Noadiah dat tell she talk fo God,

An all da odda guys dat tell dey talk fo God

Dat stay try make me come sked!”

Da Builda Guys Pau Build Da Town Wall

15 Octoba 2, we pau build da town wall, an ony take 52 days! 16 Wen all da guys dat stay agains us find out we pau, all da peopo inside all da countries aroun us guys come sked, an start fo figga maybe us mo strong den dem. Dey figga, us guys wen do all dat work cuz oua God stay help us.

17 Had odda stuff dat happen dat time too. Some a da alii guys from da Judah ohana wen sen lettas to Tobiah, an Tobiah sen lettas back to dem. 18 Cuz had plenny Judah peopo dat make one strong promise befo time fo make Tobiah dea boss, cuz he wen marry Shekaniah girl, an Shekaniah faddah was Arah. Tobiah boy Jehohanan wen marry Meshullam girl, an Meshullam faddah was Berekiah. 19 Dey talk to me bout all da good tings Tobiah wen do, an den dey go tell Tobiah eryting I tell. An Tobiah stay sen plenny letta fo try make me sked.

Shut da gates evening time, an put bars across da big doors. Make shua dat da guys dat suppose to watch da gates stay stan right dea wen you lock da gates. Pick Jerusalem peopo fo be da security guards fo da town. Put some a dem on top da spesho place fo da security guards, an put some a dem in front dea houses.” 4 I tell um fo do dat cuz da town big an get plenny room, but ony get litto bit peopo live inside dea, an dey no build houses yet.

1 ✡Dat same day, da leada guys read from da book Moses wen write cuz dey like da peopo lissen. Dey find out inside da book dat nobody from da Ammon peopo o da Moab peopo get da right fo come one Israel guy, fo come togedda wit da Israel peopo an show God love an respeck. 2 ✡Cuz long time befo, wen da Israel peopo come outa da boonies, da Ammon an Moab peopo neva go out fo meet da Israel peopo an tell um aloha an give um bread an watta. Dey wen pay Balaam fo put one bad kine kahuna on top da Israel peopo. But oua God wen take da bad ting Balaam like do an make um come good. 3 Wen da peopo hear wat da Rules from God tell, dey make all da peopo from da odda nations bag from da Israel peopo.

Da Tings Nehemiah Change

4 Befo now, had one pries guy Eliashib, dat da Main Pries guys wen put in charge a da storage rooms inside da Temple Fo Oua God. Eliashib, he Tobiah relative. 5 Elishiab wen fix up fo Tobiah, one big room inside da Temple. Befo time, inside dat room dey stash da wheat dat da peopo bring to da Temple, an da incense, da spesho dishes, an da ten percent a da wheat, wine, an olive oil. Cuz God wen tell da peopo fo give all dat to da Levi ohana peopo, an da singa guys, an da security guard guys. He tell um fo give stuff to da pries guys too. All dat, dey stay stash inside dat room.

6 Da time Eliashib do all dat fo Tobiah, I no stay Jerusalem town. I wen go back Babylon side by King Artaxerxes. Was da year numba 32 dat he stay king. Laytas, I wen aks da King fo let me go back Jerusalem town. 7 Da king let me go ova dea. Den I find out da bad ting Eliashib wen do fo help Tobiah. He fix up one room fo Tobiah inside da open lanai inside da Temple Fo God. 8 I come plenny huhu, so I throw all Tobiah furnitures an stuffs outa dat room. 9 Den I tell da pries guys fo make one sacrifice fo me use da storage rooms fo God one mo time. Den I bring back all da bowls an tings fo da Temple Fo God, an da incense an da wheat fo make sacrifice.

10 ✡Den I find out da guys in charge a da stuff peopo bring to da Temple, dey neva give da Levi ohana guys dose tings. Cuz a dat, da Levi ohana guys an da singa guys, dat help da odda peopo show love an respeck fo God, dey neva stick aroun cuz dey gotta work inside dea fields. 11 So I tell da guys in charge dey no stay do da right ting. I tell, “How come nobody do notting fo da Temple Fo God, aah?” An I make dem come togedda an I tell erybody wat dea job suppose to be.

12 ✡Afta dat, all da Judah peopo bring da ten percent a da wheat an wine an olive oil dey get. Dey put um all inside da storage places inside da Temple. 13 I put some guys in charge a da money an da storage places. Get da pries guy Shelemiah, da guy Zadok dat stay teach da Rules From God, an Pedaiah from da Levi ohana. Fo dese guys I give um Hanan fo one helpa, Zakkur boy an Mattaniah grankid. Cuz dese da guys erybody trus. Dea job was fo make shua da guys dat work wit dem get da stuffs fo give to da Levi ohana guys an da prieses.

14 Eh my God! No foget dis ting I wen do cuz I stay tight wit you!

No wipe out da good tings I wen do fo da Temple Fo My God an fo take kea da place!

Dey Make Da Res Day Serious Kine

15 ✡Dat time, I see anodda ting stay happen Judah side. On da Res Day, I see da peopo stay smashing grape wit dea feets fo make wine, an bringing plenny wheat an putting um on top da donkeys. I see um bringing wine, grape, fig, an all kine heavy stuff inside Jerusalem town on da Res Day. Right den an dea, I tell um “No sell food on da Res Day!” 16 Same time, had peopo from Tyre town dat live inside Jerusalem town. On da Res Day dey bring fish an all kine stuff fo sell to da Judah peopo, inside Jerusalem. 17 Den I tell da Judah alii guys off: “Wat you guys stay doing?! Dass real pilau, you know! You ack jalike da Res Day da same, jalike da odda days! 18 You guys stay make jalike yoa ancesta guys. Az why God wen wipe out all us guys an bus up oua town! An den, you guys like make God mo plenny huhu wit us Israel guys, cuz you stay ack jalike da Res Day da same, jalike da odda days!”

19 Da day befo da Res Day, da time wen start fo come dark litto bit, I tell um fo shut da Jerusalem town gates. I tell um, “You betta not open da gates till da Res Day pau.” I put some a my worka guys in charge a da gates fo nobody bring even one load inside on da Res Day. 20 One o two time, da guys dat get store, an da guys dat like sell all kine stuffs on top da streets, gotta stay all nite outside Jerusalem town.

21 I talk mean to dem an tell: “Wassamatta you guys?! You no can do how you stay do. How come you guys stay all nite in front da gate?! You do dat one mo time, I put you in jail!” From dat time, dey no come inside da town on da Res Day. 22 I tell da Levi ohana guys fo make da sacrifices fo dem work fo God, den come an be security guards by da gates fo make shua da Res Day stay spesho fo God.

Eh my God, try no foget dis ting I wen do, an tink good bout me!

Let me go, an no hurt me,

Cuz you stay tight wit yoa peopo foeva!

No Can Marry Peopo Dass Not Jew

23 ✡Dat time too, I see Jew guys dat wen marry wahines from Ashdod, Ammon, an Moab. 24 Half a dea kids talk Ashdod kine. Dey donno how fo talk Judah kine cuz dey use da odda peopos language. 25 I tell dem fo real kine, “Az wrong!” I tell dem off. I bus um up. I even pull out da hair from some a da guys! Den I make dem make one strong promise an aks God fo wipe dem out if dey no do wat dey tell dey goin do. Dis da promise: “You guys no goin let yoa daughtahs marry da guys from da odda peopos. You no goin marry da wahines from da odda peopos, an you no goin let yoa boys marry dem. 26 ✡Even King Solomon wen do bad kine tings cuz a da wahines from da odda peopos he wen marry! Him, he was mo awesome den all da odda king guys. His God get choke plenny love an aloha fo Solomon, an God make him da king ova all da Israel peopo. But still yet, was da wahines from da odda peopos dat wen make Solomon do bad kine tings. 27 So, wat you tink? You tink az good fo us hear now, dat oua God no can trus you guys cuz you marry da wahines from da odda peopos?!”

28 ✡Jehoiada da pries guy, his faddah Eliashib da Main Pries Guy, he had one boy dat marry da daughtah a Sanballat da Horon guy. I throw out da boy an no let um come wea I stay.

29 Eh my God, no foget dat kine bad peopo.

Dey make da pries guys come pilau,

Az why dey no can work fo you,

Cuz dey broke da deal you wen make

Fo da pries guys an da Levi ohana guys.

30 Dass how I get rid a all da stuff dat come from da odda peopos. I set up da jobs fo da pries guys an da Levi ohana guys fo make shua all dem know wat dey suppose to do. 31 I make shua dat da peopo bring da pries guys wood fo burn da sacrifices, wen dey suppose to make one sacrifice. I make shua dey get da bestes stuff dat da peopo harves from wat dey wen plant.

Eh my God! No foget me!

12 But wen da helpa guys go dea an tell her wat da king tell her fo do, she no like go. Den da king come real mad wit her.

13 Da king talk to da guys dat undastan eryting bout wass happening, cuz he do dat erytime he like know bout da rules fo wat he gotta do. 14 Had seven alii guys from Persia an Media dat stay good frenz wit da king: Carshena, Shetar, Admata, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, an Memucan. Dey da ony ones can talk to da king weneva dey like, an dey stay da main leadas fo da country.

15 King Xerxes aks dem, “Wat da rules tell I gotta do bout Queen Vashti? I da king, an my palace guys tell her wat I tell awready, but she no do wat I tell her fo do.”

16 Den Memucan stan in front da king an da alii. He tell, “No was agains ony you, da king, dat Queen Vashti do dis ting. She do um agains da alii guys too, an agains da peopo inside all da districks wea you, King Xerxes, stay da king. 17 You know, all da wahines goin hear wat da queen wen do, an dey goin tink az okay fo dem make to dea husbans jalike dey no need lissen dem. Dey goin tell, ‘King Xerxes wen tell his guys fo bring Queen Vashti in front him, but she neva go.’ 18 Az why today, da alii wahines from Persia an Media dat stay hear awready wat da queen wen do, dey goin talk to all da alii guys lidat too. Dey no goin show respeck, an dey goin make argue.

19 “Az why, if you like, sen out dis rule, an tell yoa peopo fo write um inside da rules fo Persia an Media. Den no mo nobody can change da rule: Vashti no goin eva come one mo time wea King Xerxes stay. Den you goin make anodda wahine da queen.

Dey Make Esther Da Queen

1 Laytas, afta King Xerxes no stay huhu no moa, he no foget Vashti an wat she wen do, an wat he tell erybody dey gotta do bout her. 2 Den da guys dat work fo da king fo take kea him, dey tell um, “Az good if some guys go look fo some young an good looking wahines fo da king, dat neva sleep wit one guy still yet. 3 You can pick guys from ery districk inside da land fo help find all dose good looking young wahines an bring um inside da place wea da king wifes stay, inside da strong wall Susa side. Hegai, da guy dat no can get kids an da king stay put him fo take kea da odda wahines, he can take charge a dem too. Den da spesho peopo dat know how fo make dem mo pretty still yet, can do dat. 4 Den da one dat da king like da mostes can come queen, cuz Vashti not da queen no moa.” Da king like wat his guys tell him, az why he do dat.

5 Inside da strong wall Susa side, had one Jew guy from da Benjamin ohana, dat get da name Mordecai. He Jair boy, Shimei grankid, an Kish great-grankid. 6 ✡Befo time, Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, wen take Kish prisona from Jerusalem, wit King Koniah da king fo Judah, an odda peopo. 7 Mordecai come da hanai faddah fo his uncle girl Hadassah, cuz her faddah an muddah mahke.

8 Afta erybody hear wat da king tell, an da rule he wen make bout Vashti, plenny young wahines come togedda inside da strong wall in Susa town, an dey stay wit Hegai in charge a dem. Da palace peopo take Esther to da King palace an make Hegai stay in charge a her too. 9 Hegai like Esther plenny, an he do plenny nice tings fo her. He tell da helpa wahines fo make her come mo pretty still yet, an make spesho food dass ony fo her. He pick seven young wahines from King Xerxes palace fo take kea her. He move Esther an her wahines to da bestes place inside wea all da wahines stay.

10 Esther no tell nobody bout her ohana, o dat she Jew, cuz Mordecai tell her fo no tell dem. 11 Ery day Mordecai walk outside da open lanai nea wea da wahines stay, fo find out how Esther an wat stay happen to her.

12 Befo one wahine turn come fo go inside sleep wit King Xerxes, dey gotta stay twelve month wit da palace wahines dat make da young wahines come mo good looking. Dass six month wit myrrh oil, an six month wit odda perfume an fo put makeup on dea face. 13 Dis az how dey go inside by da king. Dey can take wateva dey like from da wahine place to da king palace. 14 Wen dark time almos come, dey go ova dea, an in da morning come back to one diffren place wea da king odda wifes stay. Shaashagaz, anodda guy dat take kea da wahines fo da king, stay in charge a da ones ova dea. Dey no go back fo sleep wit da king, ony if he like her, an call her back by her name.

Wen she go, she no aks fo notting, ony wat Hegai, da guy dat stay in charge a da wahines, tell her. Wen erybody see Esther, dey like her plenny.

17 Da king like Esther mo den all da odda wahines. He tink her da bestes an he like do nice tings fo her. So he put da queen crown on top her head an make her da queen, cuz Vashti not da queen no moa.

18 Den da king make one big party fo Esther, an tell all da alii an da leadas fo come. He make one spesho day fo all da districks, an give erybody plenny presents.

But Mordecai, he no go down in front Haman, an no show him respeck.

3 Den da govmen guys by da king gate aks Mordecai, “How come you no do wat da king tell erybody fo do?” 4 Ery day dey aks Mordecai dat, but he still yet no lissen dem. Az why dey tell Haman bout um, fo see if he still yet goin let Mordecai make lidat. Cuz Mordecai wen tell dem dat he one Jew.

Den he go outside his house wea he live fo go inside da big town, an he cry real loud fo get help from somebody. 2 But he ony stay by da king gate, cuz dey no let nobody wit burmbag clotheses go inside dea. 3 Inside ery districk wea da Jew guys hear wat da king tell da odda peopos fo do, da Jews ack jalike get funeral.

Da ony time dey no need mahke, az wen da king poin his gold rod at dem. Dat mean dey goin stay alive. But now thirty days pau awready an da king no call me fo go by him yet.” 12 Hatak tell Mordecai wat Esther tell.

But you an yoa faddah ohana goin all mahke. Nobody know dis fo shua, but maybe az why you wen come inside da king ohana, jus fo dis one ting.”

1 Cuz Haman hate da Jews, dat same day King Xerxes give Queen Esther Haman house an land. Same time, Esther tell da king dat Mordecai her ohana, so Mordecai come in front da king. 2 Da king take off da ring he use fo stamp his paypas, dat he wen take back from Haman, an give um to Mordecai. Esther put Mordecai in charge a Haman house an land.

3 One mo time Esther talk to da king. She go down by da king feets an cry, an beg da king fo stop da real bad plan dat Haman da Agag guy wen make agains da Jews. 4 Den da king put out da gold rod in his hand to Esther, an den she stan up in front him.

7 King Xerxes tell Queen Esther an Mordecai da Jew, “Haman wen go agains da Jews, an my guys kill Haman awready, an I give his house an land to you, Esther. 8 Now, I like you guys use my name fo write anodda rule fo da Jews, wateva you figga stay good fo dem. Use my name an stamp um wit my ring, cuz no mo nobody can change wat I da king write an stamp wit my ring.”

9 Right den an dea, June 25, da king call his secretaries fo come. Dey write eryting Mordecai tell um fo tell da Jews, an da leadas, govna guys, an alii fo all da 127 districks from India to Sudan. Dey write dis wit da alphabets an languages dat all da diffren peopos use. Fo da Jews dey use dea alphabets an dea language too. 10 Mordecai use King Xerxes name fo write um, an stamp um wit da king ring. He sen da tings dey write by messenja guys on top horses dat go fas (cuz dey raise da horses spesho kine jus fo da king work).

11 Da king new rule now tell, dat da Jews inside ery town get rights. Dey get da right fo come togedda fo fight fo make shua dey safe. An dey get da right fo wipe out an kill any army from any peopo o districk dat go agains dem an dea wahines an kids. An dey get da right fo take da stuffs from da guys dey kill. 12 Da day wen da Jews can do dis inside all da districks wea Xerxes stay king, was goin be March 7, da nex year. 13 Dey sen one copy a dis rule to ery districk, an tell um to ery peopo, fo da Jews stay get ready dat day fo fight da guys dat hate dem.

Inside Susa town erybody make one big party an stay feel real good inside. 16 Fo da Jews, now dey stay feel real good inside, cuz erybody get respeck fo dem. 17 Inside ery districk an big town, wea eva da rule dat da king tell wen come, all da Jews stay real good inside. Dey make big party an hoolaulea. An plenny odda peopo come Jews, cuz now dey real sked a da Jews.

9

Da Jews Win

1 March 7, az da day da guys dat hate da Jews get da right fo do wat da king firs rule tell. An dey tink dey goin win ova da Jews. But now eryting change, an da Jews get da powa ova da guys dat hate dem. 2 Da Jews come togedda inside dea big towns inside all da districks wea Xerxes stay king, fo go agains da guys dat like do bad tings to dem. No mo nobody can stan agains da Jews, cuz all da odda peopos sked a dem. 3 All da alii inside all da districks, da leadas, da govnas, an da guys dat take kea da work fo da king, dey wen help da Jews, cuz dey sked Mordecai. 4 Mordecai come one importan guy inside da palace now. Erybody inside all da districks hear bout him. So he get mo an mo powa.

5 Da Jews use swords fo kill all da guys dat hate dem, an dey do wat dey like to dose guys. 6 Inside da strong wall Susa side, da Jews kill 500 guys. 7 Dey kill Parshandata, Dalfon, Aspata, 8 Porata, Adalia, Aridata, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, an Vaizata. 10 Dey wen kill da ten boys dat time dat get Haman fo dea faddah (az da same Haman, Hammadata boy, dat hate da Jews). But dey neva take da Haman boys stuffs.

11 Dey tell da king da same day, how plenny guys da Jews wen kill inside da strong wall Susa town.

12 Da king tell Queen Esther, “Da Jews wen kill 500 guys awready inside da strong wall Susa town. Dey wen kill Haman ten boys too. Wat dey do inside my odda districks? Now, wat odda ting you like? Wateva you tell me you like, I give um to you!”

13 Esther tell, “If you figga az good, let da Jews inside Susa do da same ting tomorra too, an let dem hang Haman ten boys mahke bodies on top sharp poles.”

14 So da king make one mo rule fo inside Susa town, fo hang Haman ten boys mahke bodies. 15 Da Jews inside Susa wen come togedda one mo time on March 8, an dey kill 300 mo guys inside Susa town, but dey no take dea stuffs.

16 Da same time, da odda Jews inside da king districks wen come togedda fo make shua dey safe, fo no let da guys dat hate dem bodda dem no moa. Dey kill 75,000 guys, but dey no take dea stuffs. 17 Dey do dis on March 7. Den March 8, dey res, an make one big party an stay feel real good inside.

Dey Make Da Purim Hoolaulea

18 But da Jews inside Susa town still stay fight da peopo dat stay agains dem on March 7 an 8. Az why March 9 da day wen da Jew peopo in Susa res an come togedda fo make party, an stay feel real good inside.

19 An az why da Jews dat live da country side stay make March 8 da spesho day fo feel good inside, wen dey make party an give food to each odda fo gifs.

20 Mordecai write down all dis stuff. He sen lettas to da Jews inside all da districks wea Xerxes stay king, nea an far, 21 fo make shua erybody know az good fo dem make party March 8 an 9 ery year. 22 Cuz az was wen da Jews wen res, cuz dey no gotta suffa no mo from da guys dat hate dem. From dat time, eryting change fo dem. Dey no feel sore inside no moa, dey stay feel good inside. Dey no ack jalike somebody wen mahke, dey make hoolaulea an big party. Mordecai write dem fo no foget dose days an fo give food kine presents to each odda an to da peopo dat no mo notting.

23 So da Jews make one plan togedda fo make hoolaulea ery year afta dat, jalike Mordecai wen write to dem. 24 Cuz Haman, Hammedata boy from Agag dat wen hate all da Jews, wen make one plan agains da Jews fo wipe dem out dat day March 7. He throw wat dey call da “Pur,” az jalike he pull straw fo pick da day fo kill um an wipe um all out. 25 But wen da king find out wat Haman was goin do to da Jews, da king write down fo his guys dat wat Haman wen plan, goin come back to him, an fo da king guys go hang Haman an his boys. 26 Az why da Jews call dis days “Purim,” cuz Pur mean kinda like “pull straw.” An cuz a da letta Mordecai wen write, an cuz a eryting da Jews wen see, dat wen happen to dem. 27 Da Jews start da custom fo dem an dea kids an da ones dat come from dem, an all da odda peopos dat come Jews bumbye. From dat time, ery year dey goin make shua dey make one big party dose two days, jalike Mordecai wen write to dem. 28 Az importan fo ery ohana fo no foget an do all dis ery year on da right days. Dass fo ery ohana, an dea kids an grankids foeva, an fo ery districk an ery town. Good da Jews no let da Purim hoolaulea pau. Dey gotta make shua dey no do bad kine stuff eva, dem an dea kids an grankids.

29 So Queen Esther, Abihail girl, hanai girl to Mordecai da Jew, write anodda letta, dat show dat cuz she da queen, she get da powa fo sen da letta numba two from Mordecai fo set up da Purim hoolaulea. 30 An had odda lettas dat peopo sen to all da Jews inside da 127 districks wea Xerxes stay king. Da lettas give dem aloha an tell dem fo trus wat da queen wen tell. 31 Az why da Jews can set up da Purim hoolaulea da same time ery year, jalike Mordecai da Jew an Queen Esther tell dem an dea kids dey gotta do, jalike dey wen set up odda times wen dey an dea kids gotta skip food wen dey pray, an aks fo help. 32 Wat Esther tell, make solid eryting bout Purim. An wat she tell, stay write inside da govmen record book.

10

Mordecai One Importan Guy

1 King Xerxes stay make all da peopos all ova da land work fo him an no mo pay, even da far islans. 2 All da stuff da king do dat show his powa, an erything bout da stuff dat Mordecai do, an how King Xerxes wen make Mordecai come real importan, da palace guys write all dat inside da Record Book Fo Da Kings Fo Media An Persia. 3 Mordecai da Jew stay da numba two guy to King Xerxes. Mordecai one real importan man wit da Jews. All da Jews get plenny respeck fo him, cuz he work plenny fo his peopo stay okay. He talk to da govmen fo make eryting come good fo all da odda Jews, cuz dey come from his peopo too.

Wen I leave dis world,

I no goin get notting!

Da One In Charge give,

An Da One In Charge take away.

Cuz I know wat kine god him!”

22 No matta all dis stuff happen, Job no do notting bad. He no talk jalike God do someting wrong.

Da Numba Two Tes Fo Job

1 Anodda time, da ones dat live wit God come fo stan in front Da One In Charge fo lissen wat he like um do. An da Guy Dat Stay Agains God come wit dem too fo stan in front Da One In Charge. 2 Da One In Charge tell Da One Dat Stay Agains God, “Wea you wen come from?”

10 “Az why you gotta lissen me, you guys dat undastan plenny!

No ways God goin do someting bad!

18 He da One dat tell king guys, ‘You guys worth notting!’

An he tell da alii guys, ‘You guys do bad kine stuff!’

19 He no make mo betta to one prince den he make to anodda prince.

He no make mo betta to da rich peopo den he make to da pooa peopo.

Cuz he wen make all dem.

20 Maybe some a dem mahke right den an dea, in da middo a da nite.

An da ones dat get powa, dey gone awready.

He take away da strong guys,

An az God, not da peopo, dat take um away.

21 “God see eryting da peopo do.

He see ery step wea dey walk.

22 Da peopo dat make trouble no can hide

In dark places, o unda dark shadows.

23 God no need put one spesho time

Fo peopo come in front him fo judge dem.

24 He no need aks question bout da high makamaka guys.

He know awready wat dey wen do, so he jus smash um,

Dey no even tink bout da way he do tings.

28 Da bad guys make da peopo dat no mo notting yell loud fo God help um.

29 But if God stay quiet, nobody goin poin finga him.

If he hide his face, nobody can find him.

Still yet, he stay in charge a da peopo an da nations same same.

30 He do dat fo no let nobody make jalike he one king,

Cuz God no goin let nobody trap da peopo.

31 “Cuz maybe some guy tell God,

‘I get da blame awready,

But I no goin do no mo wat you no like.

32 Show me wat I wen do wrong but I no can see um.

If I wen do someting wrong, I no goin do um one mo time.’

33 Eh Job! You figga God suppose to pay you good, da way you see um,

An fo stick wit wass right.

Da Faddah Tell Da Boy

8 Wen I talk to my boy, I tell um, “Eh my boy,

No foget wat she tell you.

9 If you lissen, make you look good,

10 I tell my boy, “Eh lissen up! If some pilau buggahs try make you come wit dem,

11 No matta dey tell, ‘Try come wit us.

We goin hide an go jump whoeva stay come,

Den we kill um. Cuz no mo notting else fo do, aah?

12 No matta dey alive, we take um, brah,

Da watta go back da place

Wea come from befo time.

8 All dis kine stuff dat happen ova an ova,

An stay boring,

Cuz get way mo stuff fo talk bout,

Way mo fo see an hear.

9 Wateva happen, goin happen one mo time.

Wateva somebody do, somebody goin do um one mo time.

No mo notting new unda da sun!

10 Peopo tell,

‘Look! I get someting new fo tell!’

No ways! Da ting was hea awready,

From long time befo time.

Was hea even befo us guys born.

11 Nobody rememba da peopo dat live long time befo time.

An same ting fo da peopo dat goin come bumbye:

Da peopo dat goin come afta dem, goin foget dem too.”

No Can Undastan How Fo Know
Wat Fo Do Erytime

12 Da king ova da Israel peopo inside Jerusalem, dass me, da Teacha. 13 I make up my mind fo study, an fo try see if da stuff work dat da peopo dat know wat fo do erytime tell. I do dis cuz I like figga out eryting peopo do unda da sky. God give erybody one real hard job fo do, az why! 14 I wen see eryting da peopo do unda da sun. An you know wat?! Eryting hard fo undastan! Jalike erybody stay try catch da wind!

15 Get tings dat stay kapakahi,

An no mo nobody can make um come strait.

An tings dat no moa,

No can count dem too!

16 ✡I wen figga lidis, “Eh! From small kid time, I wen learn wat fo do erytime, mo den any odda king dat wen stay in charge inside Jerusalem befo me. I know plenny stuff, an I know plenny bout wat fo do erytime.” 17 Den, I make up my mind fo undastan wat “fo know wat fo do erytime” mean, wat “fo ack pupule” mean, an wat “fo ack stupid kine” mean. But wen I find out wat all dat stuff mean, jalike I stay try fo catch da wind too.

18 Cuz wen somebody know wat fo do erytime,

Dat mean dey goin hurt mo plenny inside.

Mo stuff somebody know,

Mo dey come sore inside.

Fo Ony Try Feel Good Erytime,
Dat No Mean Notting Too

1 I wen tink lidis: “Now, I goin try tes dis! I goin see wat make me feel good inside. I goin ony try fo feel good inside.” But I ony find out, dat no make sense too. 2 I tell, “Wen I laugh, az stupid! An wen I feel good inside, wat fo?” 3 I wen try fo feel good from suck um up da wine. I try find out wass goin happen if I do stupid kine stuff. (But same time, I make shua my head show me erytime wass da bestes ting fo do.) I like fo find out wass good fo da peopo do, cuz ony short time dey live hea unda da sky.

4 ✡Den I wen do big projecks fo see wat happen. I build big houses fo me. I plant grape farms fo me. 5 I make gardens an parks fo me, an plant all kine fruit trees inside um. 6 I make big ponds fo me fo give watta fo da trees an make um grow. 7 ✡I wen buy boy an girl slaves, an get odda slaves dat born fo me inside my house. An I own mo cows, sheeps, an goats den anybody befo me inside Jerusalem. 8 ✡I pile up plenny silva an gold stuffs fo me, an I get da rich kine stuffs from odda kings an odda districks. I get guys an wahines fo sing, an plenny wahines fo come my odda wifes—enuff fo make one guy feel real good inside. 9 ✡Fo shua I come mo importan den anybody befo me inside Jerusalem. All dat time I wen know wat fo do erytime.

10 I neva hold back fo get someting I like get.

I neva hold back fo get good fun.

I stay good inside from all da work I do!

Dass da pay I get fo all my work!

11 But wen I look eryting I get, from wat my hands stay do,

An wat I work fo get,

You know wat?!

No make sense all dat—jalike I stay chase da wind!

I no mo notting unda da sun dat goin las!

No Make Sense If You Know
Wat Fo Do Erytime O If You Stupid

12 Den I change my mind. I start fo tink bout wat “fo know wat fo do erytime,” mean, wat “fo ack pupule” mean, an wat “fo ack stupid kine” mean.

You tink da nex king can do someting

Dat dis king neva do awready?!

No ways!

13 Dis wat I wen see:

Az mo betta know wat fo do erytime,

Den stay stupid.

Jalike mo betta light den dark.

14 Da guy dat know wat fo do erytime

Get eyes dat see stuff.

But da stupid guy, jalike he walk in da dark.

But I tink dis too:

Dat da two a dem goin come out same same!

15 Den I tink lidis:

“Me an da stupid guy goin come out same same!

Den wat good I goin get outa dat, dat goin las long time,

Jus cuz I know wat fo do erytime?”

Den I tell,

“Dis no make sense too.”

16 No mo nobody goin rememba da guy dat know wat fo do erytime,

An same ting fo da stupid guy.

Bumbye, erybody goin foget da two a dem.

Jalike da stupid guy an da guy dat know wat fo do erytime goin mahke too!

Work No Mean Notting

17 Az why I tink, “Poho, dis life!” Cuz da stuff peopo do unda da sun, bodda me plenny! No mo notting make sense. Jalike us chase da wind! 18 I tink, “Poho, eryting I wen work fo unda da sun. Cuz I gotta leave um fo da guy dat goin come afta me. 19 An who goin know if dat guy know wat fo do erytime, o if he one stupid kine guy? All dis no matta fo shua cuz da guy goin stay in charge a all da tings dat I work real hard fo, an all da tings I learn how fo do unda da sun.” Dis no make sense too. 20 So I come all bum out cuz I tink bout da hard work I wen do unda da sun. 21 Cuz if somebody do dea work an know wat fo do erytime, an know plenny, an know how fo do stuff real good, den dey gotta leave all da stuff dey own fo somebody dat neva work fo get um. Dis no make sense too. An come out bad too. 22 Wat get fo all da work an worry dat somebody do unda da sun? 23 ✡Ery day gotta work an suffa an stay sad inside, an even nite time my head get plenny stuff fo tink bout an no can res. Dis no make sense too.

24 ✡So den, da bestes ting fo do, go eat, go drink, an stay good inside bout hard work! No mo notting mo betta. I see dass jalike one present from God too. 25 Cuz no mo nobody eat o stay good inside if God no help um. 26 ✡If somebody do stuff dat make God stay good inside, God goin make dem know wat fo do erytime, know plenny, an stay good inside. But fo da guy dat do bad kine stuff, God give um da job fo ony stack up plenny stuffs, fo dem give um to some odda guy dat make God stay good inside. Dis no make sense too. Dey ony stay chase da wind.

Get One Time Fo Eryting

1 Get one time fo eryting

Da peopo do unda da sun.

2 One time fo born

An one time fo mahke.

One time fo plant

An one time fo pull up wat you plant.

3 One time fo kill peopo

An one time fo make peopo come good.

One time fo bus up

An one time fo build.

4 One time fo cry

An one time fo laugh,

One time fo stay sad inside

An one time fo dance.

An one time fo sew um togedda.

One time fo no talk

An one time fo talk.

8 One time fo love

An one time fo hate.

One time fo make war

An one time fo make eryting pono.

9 So den, wat da worka guys goin get fo da work dey do? You tink dat goin stay long time, o wat?! 10 I see wat God give peopo fo do. 11 He make eryting happen jalike suppose to happen, fo da time wen suppose to happen. He make peopo tink bout wat maybe goin happen bumbye, but dey no can undastan eryting dat God stay do from da start till da end. 12 I know fo shua no mo notting mo betta fo peopo den fo stay good inside an do good kine stuff all da time dey stay alive. 13 Wen erybody eat an drink an stay good inside bout dea work, az one present from God. 14 I know fo shua eryting God do goin stay foeva. No mo nobody can add notting to um, an no mo nobody can take notting away from um. God do dis fo peopo show respeck fo him.

15 Wateva stay, awready wen stay.

Wateva goin stay, awready wen stay befo time.

An God make happen tings dat wen happen befo time, ova an ova.

16 An I see anodda ting unda da sun.

Get judge guys dat tell wat stay right an wat stay wrong,

Even dea, get bad kine stuff dat happen!

Get peopo dat stay do wass right,

Even dea, get bad kine stuff dat happen!

17 I wen tink lidis:

“God goin judge da peopo dat do wass right, an da peopo dat do wass wrong.

Cuz get one bestes time fo do eryting,

One time fo eryting dat happen.”

18 Az why I tink lidis too: “God tes peopo, fo show um dat dey stay jalike da animals. 19 Wat goin happen to da peopo an da animals, same ting! Jalike peopo mahke, da animals mahke. Dey all breave da same. Peopo not mo betta den da animals! All dat no mean notting. An no make sense! 20 Dey all go da same place. All a dem come from da dirt, an all a dem go back to da dirt. 21 You tink da peopo spirit go up, an da animal spirit go down inside da earth, o wat?!

22 “Az why no mo notting mo betta, den fo peopo do dea work an stay good inside, cuz az why dey stay hea. No mo nobody can make dem see wat goin happen to dem bumbye!”

Presha

1 I look one mo time, an I see all da presha dat some peopo put on top odda peopo unda da sun.

I see peopo cry, da ones get presha on top dem.

No mo nobody fo help dem come so notting bodda dem.

Da guys dat put presha on top dem get plenny powa.

No mo nobody fo help dem come so notting bodda dem.

2 An I tink dat da peopo dat stay mahke awready

Stay mo good inside den da peopo dat stay alive still yet.

3 But da guy dat not born yet,

Mo betta den da two a dem.

Cuz he no see da bad kine stuff

Da peopo stay do unda da sun.

Work

4 An I stay tink bout all da hard work an eryting dat peopo stay do. An how come dey do um? Fo shua, cuz one guy tink he do someting mo betta den some odda guy do um. Dat no make sense too. Dey chase afta da wind.

5 Peopo tell:

Da stupid guys no work notting.

Wen dey do dat, dey ony come hamajang.

6 Mo betta get ony one hand full a stuff, an can res,

Den get two hand full a stuff,

But da kine work you gotta do fo get um,

You ony stay chase da wind.

Wen No Mo Frenz

7 One mo time I see someting unda da sun dat no make sense.

8 Get one guy dat no mo nobody by him.

He no mo boy an no mo braddah.

He work all da time.

But he no stay good inside wit wat he get.

He start fo tink lidis: “How come I stay work dis hard?!

How come I no do notting dass good fun?!”

Dat no make sense!

Ony poho, aah?!

9 Two mo betta den one.

Cuz dey work mo betta wen dey togedda.

10 If one fall down,

His fren can help um up.

But Bummahs fo da guy dat fall down,

An no mo nobody fo help um up!

11 An if two peopo lay down togedda, dey goin stay warm.

But how one guy goin stay warm if jus him?

12 Somebody can attack anodda guy an win,

But dey no can win ova two guys.

You no can broke one rope

Dat get three strand.

Maybe One Young Guy
Da Winna

13 If get one young guy dat no mo notting, but he know wat fo do erytime, dat guy mo betta den one ol king dat no lissen wen somebody tell um wass da bestes ting fo him do. 14 Maybe da young guy come outa prison an layta come da king. O maybe da one dat born fo come king no mo notting, but still yet he come king. 15 But I see dis too: I see dat erybody dat live an do stuff unda da sun stay tight wit anodda young guy unda da sun. 16 An no can count da odda peopo dat come befo o afta da young guy, dat no tink he do one good job. All dat no make sense too. Dey chase da wind.

Know How Awesome God Stay

1 Wise up how you ack wen you go da Temple Fo God. Go come close fo lissen good, an no make stupid wen you make one sacrifice! Cuz da stupid guys donno az bad wat dey do.

2 No talk befo you tink!

No rush fo tell someting wen you stay in front God.

God stay in da sky,

An you stay on top da earth.

So talk ony litto bit!

3 Jalike wen you get too much stuff dat bodda you, you goin get bad dreams,

Same ting, wen you talk too much, you goin talk stupid kine.

4 ✡Wen you make one strong promise to God, no wait long time fo do wat you wen promise fo do. Da tings stupid peopo do, no make God stay good inside. Az why, go do eryting you wen promise fo do. 5 Mo betta fo no make one strong promise, den fo make um an no do um. 6 No let yoa mout make you do bad kine stuff. An no tell da Temple messenja guy, “Was one mistake, I wen make dat strong promise!” No good, God come huhu cuz a wat you tell! An no good, he wipe out da tings you wen make wit yoa hands! 7 Wen you dream plenny an talk plenny, all dat no make sense. Mo betta get plenny respeck fo God!

Da Rich Kine Stuff No Make Sense

8 If you see dat da peopo dat no mo notting get presha from da govmen, an somebody take away dea rights, an da judge no do da right kine ting fo dem, no drop yoa jaw! Cuz one leada guy get anodda leada dat back him up, an da two a dem get odda leadas fo back um up too. 9 Get plenny stuff come from da land, an erybody get one cut from um, even da king!

10 Whoeva get plenny love fo money, no goin get enuff money!

Whoeva like rich kine stuff, no matta how much dey get, no goin make dem stay good inside!

An all dat stuff no make sense too.

11 Wen get mo an mo stuffs,

Get mo an mo peopo fo use um up.

Dey no help da guy dat own da stuffs,

Cuz he ony can look wat he get.

12 Wen one worka guy sleep, he stay good,

No matta he grind ony litto bit o plenny.

But wen one rich guy get plenny stuff,

Dat no let him sleep good.

13 I wen see someting real bad unda da sun,

Somebody pile up plenny stuffs dey get ony fo dem,

But dat ony hurt um bumbye.

14 Cuz dey lose all dea nice kine stuff cuz someting bad happen to dem.

So if dey get one boy, bumbye no mo notting lef fo him.

15 ✡Erybody come outa dea muddah naked.

An afta dey mahke, dey naked one mo time.

Dey no take notting from wat dey wen make.

16 An dis one real bad ting

Dat make you sick fo tink bout um:

Cuz erybody come jalike dey go—

Naked, wit notting!

Wat dey goin get fo dat?

Dey bus ass, but all dey goin get, jalike da wind.

17 All dea life, dey stay in da dark.

Dey stay futless, dey get hard time, an dey stay huhu.

18 But you know wat?! I see one ting dass good. Az good fo peopo eat an drink, an stay good inside bout dea hard work unda da sun. All da time dey stay alive, da short time God give um, dass wat dey get. 19 An God give some peopo rich kine stuff, an let dem stay good inside bout um. If dey take wat dey get an stay good inside bout da work dey do, az one present dat God give dem. 20 Dat kine peopo almos no need fo tink bout how long dey goin stay alive cuz God make um feel plenny good inside, all da time.

6

Wass Good Fo Peopo

1 I see anodda bad kine ting unda da sun dat put plenny presha on peopo. 2 God give peopo rich kine stuff, odda stuff, an one good name. Dass how dey get eryting dey like. But maybe God no let um feel good bout da stuff dey get. Den goin get one guy from anodda place goin get um. An dass da guy goin stay good inside bout da odda guy stuffs. But all dat no make sense! Make you sick fo tink bout um.

3 Maybe one guy get hundred kids an live long time. But if he no stay good inside bout da good tings he get, an peopo no show respeck wen dey bury him, den no matta how long da guy stay alive. Dis wat I tink: One bebe dat mahke awready wen he born, stay mo betta den da guy. 4 Wen dat mahke bebe born, no make sense. He go way in da dark, an his name stay cova ova in da dark. 5 Da mahke bebe no see da sun eva, an donno notting. But he get mo res den da guy dat get eryting— 6 An even if da guy dat get eryting stay alive fo two tousan year, dat no mean he stay good inside bout his stuffs. Cuz wen dis guy an da bebe mahke, dey goin go da same place erybody go!

7 All da hard work peopo do, az fo give dem food fo eat.

But dey no mo enuff.

8 One guy dat know wat fo do erytime

Not mo betta den one stupid guy!

If one guy dat no mo notting know how fo ack in front odda peopo,

How dat goin help him?

9 Stay good inside bout da stuff you see.

Az mo betta den tink bout da nice tings you no moa.

Wen you tink bout nice tings you no mo, no make sense.

Az jalike you chase da wind.

10 Wateva get, awready get one name,

An erybody know how peopo stay.

An nobody can make argue

Wit somebody dat argue mo betta den dem.

11 Cuz if you argue plenny,

No goin make sense.

Wat good dat goin do?!

12 So who know wass good fo peopo do all da time dey stay alive? Dey ony get short time fo live, jalike one shadow dat no stay long time, an dat no make sense. An who can tell dem wat goin happen unda da sun afta dey mahke?

7

Da Guy Dat Know Wat Fo Do Erytime

1 ✡If you get one good rep, az mo betta den you get good perfume.

Da day you mahke stay mo betta den da day you born.

2 Mo betta go visit one house wea da peopo make one funeral,

Den visit one house wea dey make one party,

Cuz erybody goin mahke bumbye.

Good, da peopo dat stay alive tink serious kine bout dis.

3 Mo betta stay sad inside den laugh,

Cuz one sad face make you tink strait!

4 Da peopo dat know wat fo do erytime like go da place wea peopo stay sad inside.

But da stupid guys like go da place wea peopo ony like get good fun.

5 Mo betta lissen wen somebody dat know wat fo do erytime scold you.

Den lissen wen da stupid guys sing.

6 Wen da stupid guys laugh,

Az jalike wen thorn branches pop inside one fire.

Dat no make sense too.

7 If one guy dat know wat fo do erytime scam somebody, goin make him come stupid.

If he put presha on anodda guy fo give him money unda da table, dat goin jam up how he stay inside.

8 Wen someting pau, az mo betta den wen start.

Wen you hang in dea, az mo betta den get big head.

9 ✡No come huhu fas, aah?!

Cuz dass how da stupid guys stay inside.

10 No go tell, “How come eryting wen stay mo betta befo time den now?”

If you tell dat, ony show you donno wat fo do erytime.

11 Good fo know wat fo do erytime,

Jalike az good get property from yoa faddah.

Dat two tings make eryting come out mo betta fo da peopo dat live unda da sun.

12 Wen you know wat fo do erytime,

Az jalike one roof ova yoa head.

An money, az jalike one roof ova yoa head too.

But fo know plenny stuff stay mo betta,

Cuz da guy dat know wat fo do erytime,

Dat goin make him stay alive long time.

13 Tink bout wat God wen do:

No can make strait

Wat God wen make kapakahi!

14 So wen eryting go good, stay good inside.

But wen eryting go bad, figga lidis:

God make good tings an bad tings happen.

Az why no mo nobody can figga wat goin happen bumbye.

15 All dis time I live, no make sense.

But I see two tings:

Get guys dat stay do da right kine ting erytime an dey mahke.

An get guys dat stay do bad kine stuff an dey live long time.

16 No go ack jalike you do da right ting mo den anybody.

An no go ack jalike you know wat fo do erytime mo den anybody.

You like wase yoa life, o wat?!

17 No go ack mo bad den anybody.

No go make stupid kine.

You like mahke befo yoa time fo mahke, o wat?!

18 Mo betta you hang in dea an do da right ting,

An no do wass wrong.

Da guy dat stay sked a God,

He no goin try go too far.

19 One guy dat know wat fo do erytime

Get mo powa den ten a da leada guys inside his town.

20 Get peopo all ova da world

Dat do wat da Rules From God tell um fo do,

But no mo even one a dem dat do wass right erytime,

An no do notting bad eva.

21 No come bum out bout eryting peopo tell

Cuz maybe you goin hear dat yoa worka guy talk bad bout you.

22 Cuz you know dat plenny time

You wen talk bad bout odda peopo too.

23 All dis stuff I wen learn, I wen use eryting da smart guys know fo tes um.

An I tink, “I goin know wat fo do erytime!”

But still yet dass someting I no can handle!

24 Wateva dat mean fo know wat fo do erytime,

Stay far away, an hard fo undastan.

No mo nobody can find out wat dat mean!

25 So den I change my mind an try fo study stuff.

I like learn mo, an find out wat fo do erytime, an figga out how come eryting happen.

An I like know how come az stupid fo do bad kine stuff,

An how come da stupid guys come pupule.

26 I find out dat wen get one wahine dat like make one trap,

Dass mo worse den fo mahke.

She tink how fo trap you,

If she put her arms aroun you,

Goin be jalike you stay tie up wit chains.

Da kine guy dat make God stay good inside

Goin bag from her.

But she goin catch da guy dat do bad kine stuff.

27 Da Teacha tell, “Look wat I wen find out:

I put togedda one ting wit anodda ting

Fo find out how come eryting happen,

28 Da time I wen stay look fo stuff fo learn,

I neva find notting.

I ony find one guy outa tousan guys dat stay do da right ting.

But I no find even one wahine outa all dem dat do da right ting.

29 Da ony ting I wen figga out, az dis:

God make peopo fo do wass right,

But dey look fo all kine scam.”

8

1 So, wat you tink?! Get guys dat know fo real kine wat fo do erytime?!

You figga get guys dat know wat tings mean, o wat?!

One guy dat know wat fo do erytime, his face goin show dat,

Cuz no goin look jalike he huhu.

Lissen Da King!

2 Dis wat I tell: Lissen wateva da king tell you fo do cuz you wen make one strong promise in front God fo do wat da king tell you fo do. 3 No rush fo leave wen you stay wit da king. No stay pono wit guys dat like do someting bad. Cuz da king goin do wateva he like do. 4 Wat da king tell, az wat goin happen. No mo nobody can tell um, “How come you do dat?!”

5 Whoeva do wat da king tell um fo do, no mo notting bad goin happen to dem.

Da guy dat know wat fo do erytime, he goin know wat he gotta do an wat time fo do um.

6 Get da right time an da right way fo eryting you like do,

No matta you get plenny trouble too.

7 Nobody know wat goin happen bumbye.

Az why no mo nobody can tell anodda guy wass goin happen.

8 No mo nobody get da powa fo stop da wind.

No mo nobody get da powa fo figga wen dey goin mahke.

Jalike da leadas no goin let nobody go home wen get war.

Same ting, da bad kine stuff peopo do,

No goin get um outa trouble.

9 I see all dis stuff, an I tink bout eryting peopo stay do unda da sun. Wen peopo boss aroun odda guys, dat hurt da boss guys too. 10 I see peopo bury bad kine guys but dey show respeck fo dem wen da guys mahke. Az was bad guys dat wen come an go from da place dat stay spesho fo God. An da peopo talk good bout da bad guys inside da big town wea dey wen do bad stuff. All dat no make sense too.

11 Wen one guy do someting bad, an peopo no punish um right den an dea, da peopo goin figga dey can do all kine bad kine stuff too. 12 Get bad guys dat do uku pile a bad kine tings, an still yet live long time, you know. But I know dis too: Da peopo dat stay sked a God, dey goin live mo betta den da bad kine guys cuz dey get choke respeck fo God. 13 But cuz da bad kine guys no stay sked a God, no mo notting goin go good fo dem. Dey no goin live long time, jalike dey one shadow.

14 Get anodda ting dat happen on top da earth dat no make sense: Get guys dat do wass right, but dey get punish jalike dey bad kine guys. An get guys dat do bad kine stuff, an dey get wat da guys dat do wass right suppose to get. Fo shua dat no make sense! 15 But me, I figga, az good fo erybody feel good inside. Cuz no mo notting mo betta den one guy unda da sun eat, drink, an stay good inside. No matta he work all da days God give um fo stay alive unda da sun, he goin stay good inside.

16 Wen I wen try fo undastan wat dat mean, fo know wat fo do erytime, an wen I try fo see da kine work peopo do in dis world—I no can sleep day time o nite time. 17 Den I see eryting dat God do. No mo nobody can undastan eryting dat happen unda da sun. No matta peopo try hard fo undastan wat happen, no can. No matta one guy dat know wat fo do erytime tell dat he undastan um, he no can undastan um fo real kine.

9

Same Ting Happen To Erybody

1 So I tink bout all dis. From dat, fo shua God da One stay in charge a da peopo dat do da right kine stuff an know wat fo do erytime. But nobody know if peopo goin love um o hate um. 2 Same ting goin happen to erybody—da peopo dat do wass right, an da peopo dat do wass wrong, da good guys an da bad guys, da ones dat can go in front Da One In Charge an da ones dat no can, da peopo dat make sacrifice, an da peopo dat no make sacrifice.

Wateva happen fo da guy dat do good kine stuff,

Same ting happen fo da guy dat do bad kine stuff.

Wateva happen fo da guy dat make one strong promise,

Same ting fo da guy dat stay sked fo make um.

3 Dis wat stay bad fo erybody unda da sun: Same ting happen fo erybody! Inside, peopo get fill up wit bad kine stuff, an dey ack stupid all da time dey alive. An afta dat, dey all mahke. 4 But anybody dat still yet stay alive still can trus God an wait. Even one dog dass alive stay mo betta den one mahke lion.

5 Da peopo dat stay alive know dat dey goin mahke,

But da mahke peopo donno notting.

Dey no goin get notting back,

An erybody goin foget dem.

6 No matta dey love, o hate,

O come jealous, all dat stuff pau wen dey mahke.

Dey no goin conneck wit notting dat stay happen unda da sun.

7 So eat yoa food an stay good inside. Drink yoa wine wit one good heart. Cuz God awready stay good inside bout wat you do. 8 Erytime, wear nice clotheses, an no hold back fo put olive oil on top yoa head. 9 Live good wit yoa wife dat you get love an aloha fo, all da time God give you unda da sun, no matta hard fo make sense. An bus ass unda da sun cuz az yoa kuleana unda da sun. 10 Wateva work you get, geev um wit all yoa powa! Cuz inside da Mahke Peopo Place wea you going, no can work, no can make plan, no can know stuff o know wat fo do erytime.

11 I wen see anodda ting unda da sun too:

Da mos fas guys no goin win da race erytime,

An da mos strong guys no goin win da fight erytime.

Da guys dat know wat fo do erytime, dey no mo food erytime,

Da smart guys not rich erytime.

Nobody show respeck erytime fo da guys dat know plenny.

But dey all gotta chance um wen da right time come.

12 Nobody know wen dey goin mahke.

Az jalike wen peopo trap fish in one net,

O snag birds inside one trap.

Hard times catch peopo,

Wen dey figga notting bad goin happen!

Mo Betta Know Wat Fo Do Erytime
Den Stay Stupid

13 An I see dis too unda da sun. I wen spock how one guy ack dat know wat fo do erytime. Da stuff I wen see was good: 14 Had one small town an ony litto bit peopo live inside um. An one strong king attack um, an put army guys all aroun um, an build big ramps fo go ova da top a da wall. 15 Inside dat town, had one guy dat no mo notting, but he know wat fo do erytime. Az how he get da town outa trouble cuz he know wat fo do. But no mo nobody rememba dat guy dat no mo notting. 16 Az why I tell, “Mo betta know wat fo do, den get one big army.” But da peopo dea no show respeck fo da guy dat no mo notting, no matta he know wat fo do erytime. No mo nobody lissen now wat da guy tell.

17 Mo betta lissen wat da guys tell dat know wat fo do erytime,

No matta dey no talk loud,

Den lissen one leada fo da stupid guys, dat yell.

18 Mo betta know wat fo do erytime,

Den get plenny stuff fo use fo make war,

But one guy dat mess up one time

Can wipe out plenny good kine stuff.

10

1 Mahke flies make da perfume smell haunas.

Same ting you do one litto bit stupid kine ting,

Den nobody goin stay shua you know wat fo do erytime,

An no mo nobody goin respeck you!

2 Da guy dat know wat fo do erytime, he goin pick da right ting fo do,

But da stupid guy goin pick da wrong ting fo do.

3 Even wen da stupid guy walk on top da road, he no mo one brain.

He show erybody how stupid him.

4 If one leada guy come huhu wit you,

No good you bag from yoa kuleana. No quit!

One cool head can cool down da odda guy,

Even wen dey jam up big time.

5 Get one bad kine ting dat I see unda da sun.

Da guys dat stay in charge sometimes do wrong kine tings,

But dey donno was wrong.

6 Dey give da stupid kine guys plenny importan jobs.

Same time dey put da importan guys in da junk kine jobs.

7 I wen see da slave guys ride horse,

An da prince guys walk aroun jalike dey slaves.

8 ✡You dig one deep hole, maybe you fall inside um.

You dig thru one wall, maybe one snake bite you.

9 You cut out stones, maybe da stones hurt you.

You split wood, maybe da wood hurt you too.

10 If one ax not sharp,

An nobody make um sharp,

Den you gotta wack mo hard wit um.

But if you know how fo use um, can use um.

11 If one snake bite you

Befo da guy dat train snakes teach um fo no bite,

Den da snake guy no goin earn notting.

12 Da guy dat know wat fo do erytime talk good kine,

But da stupid guy mout make him come wipe out.

13 Wen da stupid guy start fo talk, he talk stupid kine.

Bumbye he goin tell bad kine stuff an pupule kine stuff.

14 An da stupid guy talk plenny.

No mo nobody know wat goin happen.

Nobody can tell wat goin happen afta dat.

15 All da stuff da stupid guy do,

Make him come tired.

He donno even how fo go town.

16 Bummahs fo you guys inside one country

Dat get one guy dass too young fo be yoa king!

An yoa prince guys pig out all day from morning time.

17 But you guys can stay good inside

If you live inside one country dat get one king dat wen born fo come king,

You guys stay good inside cuz yoa prince guys eat at da right time.

Dey eat cuz dey like come strong, not piloot.

18 If one guy lazy, da raftas come weak.

Cuz he no do notting, da rain drip inside da house.

19 Peopo cook food fo dem laugh,

An wine make peopo stay good inside, da way dey live.

An money take kea eryting!

20 No even tink fo put kahuna on top da king, even inside yoa head.

No put kahuna on top da rich guys, even inside yoa bedroom.

Cuz maybe one bird goin carry yoa word

An tell dem wat you wen tell.

11

Can Know Some Tings, But Not Eryting

1 Peopo tell, “Ship yoa wheat ova da ocean,

Cuz afta long time, fo shua you goin get someting back fo dat.”

2 An peopo tell, “Share some stuff wit seven o eight peopo,

Cuz you donno wat kine bad ting goin happen in dis world.”

3 Wen da clouds get plenny watta,

Fo shua dey pour rain on top da earth.

An no matta one tree fall down south side o north side,

Fo shua goin stay da place wea wen fall down.

4 Whoeva watch da wind no goin plant notting.

An whoeva look da clouds no goin harves notting.

5 You donno wea da wind goin blow.

An you donno how one bebe grow inside da muddah.

Same ting, you donno wat God stay do.

He da One wen make eryting.

6 Plant yoa seeds morning time.

Evening time, no stop work.

Cuz you donno if da morning stuff goin come good,

O da evening stuff,

O if da two goin come good.

Wen You Still Young, No Foget Da One Wen Make You

7 Good, da light, you know.

Peopo like see da light from da sun.

8 No matta how long one guy stay alive,

Good fo him stay good ery year.

But good fo him no foget da dark days too

Cuz goin get plenny dark days.

Eryting dat goin happen, no make sense!

9 You young guys, stay good inside wen you young.

Inside, yoa heart make you dance an sing.

Do wat you like do,

An see wat you like see.

But no foget, dat fo all dis stuff,

Bumbye God goin judge you.

10 So den, throw out da worries inside you.

No let pain in yoa body jam you up.

Cuz wen you stay young an get black hair, all dat still no make sense!

12

Da One Dat Make You

1 So all da time you stay young,

No foget da One dat wen make you—

Tink bout him befo da time come

Wen you come ol an get trouble,

An befo da time you figga,

“No mo notting make me feel good inside no moa!”

2 Befo da sun an da light from da moon an da stars look dark cuz you ol,

An da dark rain clouds stay come back fas afta da rain pau.

3 No foget da One dat wen make you,

Befo da time come

Wen da legs an arms dat take kea yoa house come ol an shaking,

An da strong guys stay bend ova,

Wen da teets dat grind da wheat quit,

Cuz ony some a dem stay,

An da eyes come dark fo da ones dat look thru da window,

4 Da ears no hear good,

Jalike somebody shut da doors dat let da street noise come inside.

Dey hear ony litto bit noise cuz dey grind ony litto bit wheat,

Peopo wake up wen da birds start fo sing,

But dey no hear da tunes good.

5 No foget da One dat wen make you,

Wen peopo come sked a high places,

An stay sked wat can happen on top da streets.

An wen da almond tree get flowa,

An da grasshoppa move slow,

An no mo powa fo sex,

Cuz dass da time peopo go da place wea dey goin stay foeva.

An da peopo dat stay sad inside fo dem go aroun to dea funeral.

6 No foget da One dat wen make you

Befo da silva rope broke.

O da gold bowl broke,

An befo da pitcha by da puka fo watta come smash,

O somebody broke da wheel fo pull watta from da well.

7 O oua body go back inside da dirt wea we come from,

An oua spirit go back by God dat give um to us.

8 Da Teacha tell, “No make sense!

No mo notting make sense!”

How Da Tinking End

9 Da Teacha, he know wat fo do erytime. An even moa, he teach da peopo bout wat he know an fo dem know um too. He tink bout um, an try find out even mo, an put togedda plenny stuff dat da smart guys tell. 10 Da Teacha tink bout how fo find da bestes way fo tell um. Wat he write tell da right kine stuff, an da tings dat stay true.

11 Wat da guys tell dat know wat fo do erytime, az jalike da sharp poles fo poke da cows fo make um go da right way. Eryting dey tell, az jalike da kine nails dat stay solid wea dea owna poun um. Eryting dey tell come from God, da one good sheep guy. 12 Eh my boy! Get anodda ting too: Make shua you no trus da odda kine stuff dat some peopo teach.

Get choke respeck fo God,

an do wat He tell you fo do,

Cuz az da kuleana fo erybody.

14 Erybody gotta go in front God da Judge bout eryting dey wen do,

Even all da stuff dey try hide, no matta good o bad.

An Call Isaiah Fo Work Fo Him

(Matthew 13:14-15; Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10; John 12:40; Jesus Guys 28:26-27; Jesus Show 4:8)

1 ✡Da same year King Uzziah wen mahke, I wen see Da One In Charge a me stay sitting on top one throne, way up dea inside da sky, an looking real importan.

5 Den I wen yell,

“Bummahs!

Da way I stay talk,

An da way da peopo I stay wit stay talk,

No way us can come in front God!

But still yet, I wen see

Look plenny, but you no goin learn notting!’

10 Make dem so dey no can tink good,

An shut dea eyes so no can see good.

I no like fo dem see wass happening,

I no like fo dem start fo lissen,

An fo tink good.

Cuz if dey wen change,

Den dey goin come good.

But dey no goin change.”

11 Den I aks him, “Boss, how long I gotta do dat?”

An he tell,

“Till all da towns stay all bus up

An no mo peopo live dea,

An all da house no mo peopo inside,

An all da land stay dry an all wipe out.

Da Aram An Israel Armies
Go Agains Jerusalem

(2 Kings 16:5; Matthew 1:23)

1 ✡King Ahaz was Jotham boy, an Jotham was Uzziah boy. King Pekah fo da Israel peopo was Remaliah boy. One time, King Rezin fo da Aram peopo, wit King Pekah fo help him, wen go fight da Jerusalem town peopo Judah side, wea Ahaz was da king. But dey no even can go nea dea fo start da fight. 2 Somebody tell da David ohana guys Judah side, “Da Aram army guys wen go by da Efraim ohana land inside Israel an stay make camp all ova da place wit da Israel guys.” So Ahaz an his peopo, dey come real sked inside. Dey stay shake jalike how da trees shake inside one fores wen da wind blow um.

3 Den Da One In Charge tell Isaiah, “You an yoa boy Shear-Jashub (dat mean, ‘Some peopo goin come back’), go out dea meet King Ahaz. Go by da end a da ditch wea da watta from da Mauka Watta Place go. Go on top da road dat go da field wea dey put da cloth inside da watta an step um fo make um come ready fo dye um. 4 Tell Ahaz, ‘Watch out, but stay cool. No sked. Inside yoa heart, no lose fight! Fo shua, dose two kings, Rezin fo da Aram peopo, an Remaliah boy, dey stay all hot an huhu. But dey jalike two small stick inside da fire dat litto mo all burn out, but still yet dey get plenny smoke. 5 But cuz dey stay huhu, da Aram peopo stay make one plan wit da Israel peopo an dea king, Remaliah boy, fo do bad tings to you. 6 Dey tell, “We go up country Judah side an bus up da Judah peopo. We goin fight an take um ova an make um come oua side. Den we goin make Tabeel boy da king inside Judah.” ’ ”

7 But dis da ting Da One In Charge a me tell:

“Wat dem guys stay tell, no goin happen.

No goin be lidat.

8 Da main town inside Aram, dass Damascus.

Da main guy inside Damascus, dass King Rezin.

Befo 65 year pau,

Da Israel peopo goin come real bus up,

Dey no even goin be one peopo no moa.

9 Da main town inside Israel, dass Samaria,

Da main guy inside Samaria, dass Remaliah boy.

If you guys no stay shua bout dis,

Az cuz you no stay solid bout um.”

Da Sign Dat God Stay Wit Us

10 Da One In Charge tell King Ahaz one mo time. 11 He tell, “Aks me, yoa God, Da One In Charge, fo show one sign fo you know all dis stay true. Go aks, no matta if someting from da mos deep place o from da mos high place.”

12 But Ahaz tell, “I no goin aks fo notting. No way I no goin tell Da One In Charge fo show proof!”

13 Den Isaiah tell, “Lissen, you peopo dat come from David ohana. Not enuff you guys try fo make odda peopo come piss off wit you. Now you stay trying fo make my God come piss off wit you too! 14 ✡Cuz a dat, my Boss goin give you guys one sign. Dis da sign: goin get one young wahine dat neva sleep wit one guy, but layta she goin come hapai, an bumbye dat wahine goin born one boy. She goin call him ‘Immanuel,’ dat mean, ‘God stay wit us guys.’ 15 Wen he come big, an he know wass right an wass wrong, an know fo pick ony wass right, dat time goin get plenny sof cheese an honey kine stuff fo him eat. 16 But befo he come dat big, da land dat you worry bout wea da two kings stay goin come all bus up, an no mo notting goin stay dea. 17 Da One In Charge, Da Boss, goin make you, an yoa peopo, an yoa faddah guy ohana, suffa plenny, mo plenny den you guys eva suffa befo, from da time wen da Israel peopo dig out from da Judah peopo. He goin bring da king from Assyria fo make you suffa!”

How God Goin Punish Da Judah Peopo

18 Dis how goin be dat time. Da Boss, Da One In Charge goin bring big armies agains da Judah land. He goin whistle fo call all da flies from da Nile Riva an from all da watta ditch far away inside Egypt. An he goin whistle fo all da bees fo come from Assyria. 19 Da armies all goin come. Goin be jalike wen da flies an da bees go down inside da gulches, inside da cracks inside big stone, inside places wea get thorn bushes, an all ova da pukas wea get watta. 20 Dat time, you guys goin pay da king fo Assyria, fo his army come from da odda side a da Eufrates Riva fo help you guys. But wen dey show up, dey goin rip off eryting you guys get. Goin be jalike Da One In Charge stay use one razor fo cut off all da hair from on top yoa head an legs, an even yoa beard, an you goin come shame.

Da peopo dat da army guys no take away from inside da land, goin get sof cheese an wild honey fo eat. 23 But afta da army guys go way, all da place wea had tousan grape plants worth tousan piece silva, now eryting dat goin grow afta, ony goin be thorn kine plants. 24 Anybody go dea, dey goin take bow an arrow fo hunt, cuz ony get thorn bush all ova da place, ova dea. 25 On top da hills, da place wea befo time dey hoe hana da grass, you no goin go dea no moa, cuz you sked da thorn plant goin poke you. Da land ony goin be fo let da cows an sheeps an goats go dea.

1 King Hezekiah stay king fo fourteen year, an den Sennakerib, da Assyria king, an his army guys attack all da odda big towns inside Judah dat get strong wall aroun um. Dey make da peopo dea prisonas, but dey no attack Jerusalem yet. 2 Den da Assyria king Sennakerib sen da territorial govna guy fo dat side, an plenny army guys from Lakish fo go by King Hezekiah inside Jerusalem. Da territorial govna guy stop by da ditch wea da watta from da Mauka Watta Place go, on top da main road dat go da field wea da peopo put da cloth inside da watta an step um fo make um come clean. 3 Eliakim, Hilkiah boy, dat was in charge a da palace, go out fo meet da territorial govna guy.

How come you figga you can handle oua army?! 5 Dis wat I tell: All yoa talk, az ony talk dat no mean notting! Fo make war, you gotta make one plan an get da powa fo fight. But you, no mo one plan o da powa! Cuz you stay go agains me an my army guys, wat odda country you stay trus fo help you?! 6 ✡Fo shua, I goin tell you who you stay trus! You trus da Egypt army fo help you. But Pharaoh, dea king, he no goin help you. He jalike one smash up bamboo dat make splintas inside yoa hand wen you lean on top um. Dass how plenny da Pharaoh guy help erybody dat trus him! 7 An if you guys tell me, ‘Us guys trus oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us,’ tink bout dis: Hezekiah, he da one wen take down da sacrifice places an da altars wea you guys pray to Da One In Charge! Hezekiah wen tell da peopo inside Judah an Jerusalem, ‘You guys gotta go down in front Da One In Charge, ony in front dis Jerusalem altar,’ aah?

8 “So now, make one bet wit my boss, da Assyria king. I give you guys 2,000 horse if you get enuff guys fo ride on top um! 9 How you guys tink you goin make even one small kine officer from my boss army guys turn aroun an go home, no matta you guys trus da Egypt guys fo give you war wagons an guys fo ride on top da horses?! 10 An one mo ting: you guys tink I wen come fo go agains you an yoa country an wipe you guys out, an I no trus Da One In Charge, o wat?! No way! Was Da One In Charge, da One dat wen tell me fo go agains yoa country an wipe you guys out!”

11 Den Eliakim, Shebna, an Joah tell da territorial govna guy, “Talk to us in Aramaic, yoa language, cuz we undastan um. No talk in Hebrew, oua language, cuz bumbye all dose peopo dat stay sit ova dea on top da wall goin hear.”

12 But da territorial govna guy tell, “You tink az was ony fo you an yoa boss dat my boss wen tell me fo tell dis stuff? No! He like tell um to all dese guys dat stay sit ova dea on top da wall. Cuz dose peopo, jalike you, goin come hungry an like drink watta, but dey goin eat ony dea doodoo an drink ony dea shishi.”

13 Den da territorial govna guy stan up an yell real loud wit da Hebrew language, to da peopo on top da wall, “Lissen up, wat da big king fo Assyria tell! 14 No let King Hezekiah bulai you guys! Cuz he no can get you guys outa trouble! 15 No let Hezekiah tell you guys fo trus Da One In Charge! Cuz he goin tell you guys, ‘Fo shua, Da One In Charge goin get us guys outa trouble. He no goin let da Assyria king take ova dis town.’

16 “No lissen Hezekiah! 17 Den bumbye, I goin come bring you guys to anodda land jalike yoa land, one place wit plenny wheat an good wine, an plenny food an grape plants.

18 “No let Hezekiah bulai you guys an tell, ‘Da One In Charge goin get us guys outa trouble.’ You tink da gods fo da odda countries wen get dea peopo outa trouble wen da Assyria king wen take ova dem?! No way! 19 Wat wen happen wit da gods fo Hamath, Arpad, an Sefarvaim?! You tink da Samaria gods wen help da Samaria peopo wen I wen take ova dem?! Dey no can. 20 You tink dat get even one god from all dose countries dat wen get dea peopo outa trouble wen I go agains dem?! No way! So, how you figga yoa God, Da One In Charge, goin get you guys outa trouble wen I go take ova Jerusalem town?! No can!”

21 But da three guys stay no tell da Assyria guy notting cuz King Hezekiah wen tell dem befo time, “Ony lissen an no talk back to him.”

22 Den Eliakim, Hilkiah boy, dat stay in charge a da palace, Shebna, da secretary guy, an Joah, Asaf boy, dat write da govmen records, dey go back by Hezekiah. Dea clotheses stay rip fo show dey sore inside, an dey tell him wat da territorial govna guy wen tell.

37

God Goin Get Da Jerusalem Peopo
Outa Trouble

1 Wen King Hezekiah hear wat da Assyria guy tell dem, he come real sore inside. He rip his clotheses an put on burmbag kine cloth fo show how he feel. Den he go inside da Temple. 2 He tell Eliakim, da guy dat stay in charge a da palace, Shebna, da secretary guy, an da older pries guys fo put on burmbag cloth an go by Isaiah, Amoz boy, da one dat talk fo God. 3 Dey tell Isaiah, “Dis wat King Hezekiah tell: ‘Dis one day all us feel all bum out. God stay show dat us guys wen do wrong, an cuz a dat us come shame. Us stay jalike wen one bebe goin born, but da muddah not strong enuff fo born um. 4 Maybe yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen hear wat da territorial govna guy tell, an goin do someting. Cuz da govna guy boss, da Assyria king, wen sen da govna ova hea fo make fun a Da One In Charge, da God dat stay alive fo real kine. Da tings dat yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen hear dat guy tell, maybe God goin punish him fo dat. Az why you gotta pray fo da peopo dat still yet goin stay alive afta da Assyria guys do wateva dey goin do.’ ”

5 Afta King Hezekiah helpa guys come by Isaiah, 6 Isaiah tell dem, “Go tell yoa boss dis, da ting Da One In Charge tell me awready: ‘No sked cuz a all wat you wen hear, all dat real bad kine stuff da slave guys fo da Assyria king stay tell. 7 Dis wat I goin do: I goin put one spirit inside da Assyria king fo make um tink how I like um fo tink. He goin hear wat somebody tell him, an cuz a dat, he goin go back his country. Den bumbye, I goin make somebody kill um wit one sword, inside his land.’ ”

8 Den da Assyria territorial govna guy hear dat da Assyria king an his army wen leave Lakish town. So da govna guy go back an find da king stay fighting agains Libnah town.

9 Laytas, Sennakerib, da Assyria king, hear someting bout Tirhakah, da king from Sudan. Somebody tell Sennakerib, “Tirhakah come out fo fight you Assyria guys.”

Wen Sennakerib hear dat, he sen messenja guys by Hezekiah. He tell dem 10 fo tell Hezekiah da Judah king dis:

“I know you stay trus yoa god, so you figga, ‘My God no goin let da Assyria king take ova Jerusalem town.’ But no let yoa god bulai you! 11 Tink bout dis: You awready wen hear wat us king guys Assyria side an oua army guys wen do to all da odda countries. We wen wipe um all out fo give dea land to oua god. So, you tink you goin get outa dat?! No way! 12 Da gods fo da peopos from Gozan, Haran, Rezef, an da Eden peopo inside Tel Assar—you tink dea gods wen get da peopos outa trouble, da time my ancesta guys wipe dem out? Not even! 13 Now, wea da kings fo Hamath, Arpad, Sefarvaim town, Hena, Iva?! Dey all gone!”

King Hezekiah Pray

14 Afta Hezekiah read da letta da messenja guys bring, he go up to da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. He spread out da letta in front Da One In Charge. 15 Den Hezekiah pray to Da One In Charge: 16 ✡“Eh! You, Da One In Charge! You, da God Ova All Da Armies. You da God fo us Israel peopo. You get yoa spesho place right hea inside dis Temple, inside da spesho room wit da awesome angel watcha guys on top da Box. You da ony One dass God fo real kine, cuz you da God ova all da kings an dea peopos all ova da world. Was you, da One dat wen make da sky an da earth. 17 Lissen real good, Da One In Charge! Open yoa eyes an look! Hear all da stuff Sennakerib wen tell fo talk bad bout you, da God Dat Stay Alive Fo Real Kine!

18 “You, Da One In Charge! An az true dat da Assyria king guys wen go wase all da diffren countries an dea land, 19 an throw all da idol kine gods da peopo wen make inside da fire an wipe um out. Cuz dose idols, dey not real gods, but ony wood an stone statue. 20 Now, oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, get us outa trouble an no let da Assyria king hurt us. Den all da kings an dea peopos all ova da world goin know dat you Da One In Charge, da ony God dass fo real!”

Sennakerib Come Wipe Out

21 Den Isaiah, Amoz boy, sen dis letta to Hezekiah: “Dis da ting Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell me: Cuz you wen pray to me bout Sennakerib, da Assyria king, 22 dis wat I tell agains Sennakerib:

“ ‘My peopo inside Jerusalem town

Dey jalike one young wahine

Dat tink you no good, an dey laugh at you.

Jalike one wahine dat shake her head an look

23 “ ‘Who you wen make shame, Sennakerib?!

You wen go talk strong agains me!

You tink you mo betta den me,

Da Good An Spesho God fo da Israel peopo!

24 You wen sen guys dat work fo you,

Dat wen try make me, da Boss, shame.

You wen tell, “Me, Sennakerib,

An da bestes pine trees!

A da mos high places,

Da fores wea da bestes tree grow!

25 Me, Sennakerib, I dig pukas fo watta inside odda peopo countries.

An drink da watta from ova dea.

Wen I go thru da streams

Wea da Nile Riva split up, Egypt makai side,

I make um all come dry!”

26 “ ‘Eh Sennakerib, you neva hear, o wat?

From long time me, Da One In Charge, wen start fo make all dis happen,

Befo time, I wen make da plan dat way awready,

An now I stay make um happen—

Fo you bus up da towns dat get strong wall

An make um come uku pile a rocks,

27 An fo you make da peopo dat live dose towns

Get ony litto bit powa.

Dey lose fight an come shame.

Dey come jalike da plants dat grow inside one field,

Da young green grass

O da grass dat grow on top da roof

O on top wea you plow fo plant da wheat,

Wea da sun burn um befo can grow.

28 “ ‘But I know wea you stay, Sennakerib.

I know wen you come an wen you go.

I know how you yell

An stay real mad agains me!

29 Cuz you stay mad agains me,

An I hear how big head you get

Cuz you tink you mo betta den me,

Me, Da One In Charge, goin make you my prisona

Fo do wateva I like you fo do,

Jalike I put one hook inside yoa nose,

An one bit inside yoa mout, jalike you one horse.

An I goin make you go back yoa place

On top da same road wea you wen come from.’ ”

30 Den Isaiah tell Hezekiah dis:

“An fo you, dis da sign Me, Da One In Charge, give you:

You goin eat!

Dis year, eat da wheat dat grow dea awready

From da wheat seed dat fall down las year wen dey harves da food.

Da year numba two, eat wateva come up from dat.

But da year numba three, plant seed an harves um fo food.

Plant grape fo make grape farm, an eat da grapes.

31 One mo time, goin get some a da Judah peopo

Dey goin be jalike one plant

32 Cuz da res a da peopo from Jerusalem goin come.

Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies,

He goin do um, cuz az wat he fo real kine like do.

33 “Az why dis wat Da One In Charge tell bout da Assyria king:

No way he goin come inside Jerusalem town.

His guys no goin shoot arrow ova hea.

Dey no goin get dea shield fo fight oua army guys,

O pile up dirt by da wall

Fo dea army guys run ova da top.

34 Da same way he wen come,

Dass da way he goin go back.

He no goin come inside dis big town.

35 I goin do all dat fo me,

An fo da promise I wen make to King David, my worka guy.

I goin get da peopo hea outa trouble!”

Sennakerib Go Way, Den He Mahke

36 Den one angel messenja guy from Da One In Charge go out fo fight. He kill 185,000 army guys inside da Assyria camp. Wen da odda peopo ova dea get up early da nex morning, get plenny mahke bodies all ova da place! 37 Az why Sennakerib, da Assyria king, get outa dea fas an go way. He go back Nineveh town an stay ova dea.

38 Laytas, one time wen Sennakerib go down fo pray inside da temple fo his god Nisrok inside Nineveh, his boys Adramalek an Sharezer take dea sword an kill him. Den dey run away to da Ararat land. Esarhaddon, Sennakerib odda boy, come da nex king fo da Assyria peopo.

38

2 Hezekiah turn his whole body fo face da wall, an he pray to Da One In Charge, 3 “Bummahs! You Da One In Charge! Try no foget all da stuff I wen do! I no hide um from you. I da kine guy you can trus, an do eryting I promise fo do. I try fo make shua I do ony good kine stuff dat you tell az good.” Den Hezekiah cry plenny.

4 Da One In Charge give Isaiah dis message: 5 “Go tell Hezekiah, ‘Dis one spesho message from Da One In Charge, da God fo yoa ancesta David: I wen hear wat you wen pray an I see you cry. Cuz a dat, I goin give you fifteen mo year fo live. 6 I no goin let da Assyria king do notting bad to you o to da peopo inside Jerusalem town. I no goin let da Assyria guys come inside dis town.’ ”

7 Isaiah tell da guys dat work fo Hezekiah, “Go get some figs, mash um all togedda, an put um on top da sore fo yoa boss come good.”

Hezekiah, he tell, “Wat da sign goin be, fo me know dat I goin go up inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge one mo time?”

Isaiah tell, “Dis da sign from Da One In Charge fo show you dat he goin do wat he promise fo do. 8 Da One In Charge tell, ‘Da shadow from da sun go down ten step awready, on top da palace stair dat King Ahaz wen build. Now, I goin make da sun shadow go back up da same ten step.’ ” So az wat wen happen. Da sun shadow go back up da same ten step, wea come down awready.

9 Afta Hezekiah, da Judah king, come good afta he sick, he write dis:

Da Israel Peopo No Stay Tight Wit God

Dey go up on top all da high hills an unda ery tree dat get big shade, an go fool aroun dea in front da odda gods, jalike da hoaz. 7 I wen tink dat afta dey do all dat kine stuff, dey goin come back by me, but dey neva.

20 But you Israel peopo,

Dass da message from Da One In Charge.

Wea da plants no grow cuz erybody go walk ova dea.

Dey cry an beg da gods dea fo help dem,

Cuz dey wen go da wrong way

An foget bout dea God, Da One In Charge.

Jalike you make ready yoa new fields dat nobody eva plow.

But if you guys stay do real bad kine stuff still yet,

Den no goin get nobody dea fo pio dat fire!”

But dis wind, not da kine wind dat ony blow da junks outa da wheat an barley, o dat clean stuff. 12 Dis wind mo strong den dat. Da wind come cuz I make um!

Make all dese tings happen to you.

Goin be real sore,

28 Az why da peopo all ova da world goin stay sad inside,

An da sky up dea goin come dark.

29 All da peopo inside da towns goin run

Some guys climb up fo hide inside da rocks.

Da peopo dig out from ery town,

No Mo Nobody Do Da Right Kine Stuff

(Mark 8:18)

1 “Run up an down da streets inside Jerusalem town.

Look aroun an tink hard.

Look inside all da open places.

If you guys can find one guy dea

One guy dat fo real kine like know wass true,

Den I goin let go all da peopo inside Jerusalem

2 No matta dey make one strong promise an tell,

But dese Jerusalem guys, even wen you wack um,

Still yet, dey neva feel bad cuz a dat.

You wen smash um,

But no way dey goin learn fo do wass right.

Az why dey no like change dea mind

An come sorry fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do.

4 Me, Jeremiah, I figga lidis:

‘Dese guys, dey pooa, dey no mo notting.

But dey stay stupid,

Cuz dey donno how Da One In Charge like fo dem live.

Dey donno wat dea God tell

Bout wass right an wass wrong.

5 Az why I goin go by da leada guys an talk to dem.

Fo shua dose guys know how Da One In Charge like fo dem live

An wat dea God tell

7 Da One In Charge tell: “How come you Jerusalem guys tink I gotta let you guys go?

Yoa kids wen dig out from me.

Wen yoa kids make one promise,

Fo make shua dey goin do wat dey wen promise fo do.

9 You tink I no need punish dem cuz dey make lidat?! No way!

You tink I not suppose to pay back dat kine nation?! Not even!”

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

10 “Attack da grape farms an bus up ery row.

But no wipe all a dem out.

Broke off all da young branches,

Cuz dese peopo not da peopo a Da One In Charge.

11 Da Israel ohana an da Judah ohana,

We no goin get kill wit swords o come hungry!

13 Dea guys dat tell dey talk fo God, dey ony mout.

Da One In Charge no tell dem notting.

Dey tell dat bad tings goin happen to us guys,

But we like wat dey tell, happen to dem!’ ”

14 Az why Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell dis to me, Jeremiah:

“Cuz da peopo wen talk lidat,

Dis wat I goin do:

I goin put my words inside yoa mout.

Wat you tell dem goin come out jalike one fire,

An dese peopo, dey goin come

Jalike da wood dat da fire goin burn up!”

15 Da One In Charge tell, “Eh, you Israel ohana peopo!

Come attack you guys.

Dey was dea from long time.

You guys donno dea language.

An you guys no undastan wat dey talking.

Dey goin eat all yoa grapes an figs.

No matta you guys trus da big towns dat get strong wall fo proteck you,

18 Da One In Charge tell dis too: “But wen dat happen, I still yet no goin wipe out all you guys. 19 Wen da peopo tell, ‘How come oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, do all dis kine stuff to us?’ you, Jeremiah, goin tell um, ‘Da One In Charge tell, you guys wen dig out from me, fo work inside yoa land fo da idol kine gods from da diffren peopos. An den, dese diffren peopos goin make you guys work fo dem inside one land dass not yoa land!’

20 “Tell all da peopo dat come from Jacob

An make real shua da Judah ohana peopo hear dis:

21 ✡‘Lissen up, you stupid peopo dat no tink!

You guys get eyes, but you no can see.

You guys get ears, but you no can hear.’ ”

22 ✡Da One In Charge tell, “I da One you guys betta watch out!

Wen you stay in front me,

You guys goin shake cuz you sked!

I wen put da sand by da sea edge.

Da sand make da ocean stay dea foeva.

25 But cuz you guys stay do wass wrong,

An cuz you guys stay do bad kine stuff,

Da good kine stuff no goin happen fo you guys.

26 “Some a my peopo, dey real bad kine guys.

30 “Bummahs! One real skery, bad kine ting,

An den odda peopo come fo pick up wat still stay on top dea.

But dey goin leave some peopo hea.

So you, Jeremiah, make jalike one good grape farma,

10 But I tell Da One In Charge:

“No mo nobody hea dat I can tell

Fo watch out bout dat kine trouble!

Nobody goin lissen me!

Dea ear no stay open. Az why dey no can hear.

Dey ony make deaf ear.

Da One In Charge tell me:

“Tell erybody I stay huhu wit dem!

Jalike you stay dumping watta all ova da place!

12 Odda peopo goin take ova dea houses,

Dea fields, an dea wifes, eryting dey get!

Dat goin happen wen I use my powa

Agains da peopo dat live inside dis land.

Az da message from Da One In Charge.

15 ✡You tink dey come shame fo da pilau kine stuff dey do?!

No way! Dey no mo shame!

Dey no even know how fo ack jalike dey shame.

Az why dey goin get kill same time da odda peopo get kill.

Dey goin fall down wen I punish dem.”

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

Da Israel Peopo No Like Go God Way

16 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell his peopo:

“Stop wen you get to da place wea two roads come togedda an look.

Aks bout da ol trails,

Dass how you guys goin learn how fo live fo no mo notting bodda you.

But you guys tell, ‘Us no like live dat way!’

17 I wen pick watcha guys fo take kea you guys.

I wen tell um, ‘Make shua you guys lissen

Wen dey blow da sheep horn trumpet

Fo tell da peopo watch out!’

But you guys tell, ‘Us no goin lissen!’

18 Az why I tell, ‘Lissen up, all you diffren peopos,

Scope um out, all you peopo dat see wat stay happening,

Fo you know wat goin happen to dem.

Dis wat I stay do:

Da same ting dey make plan fo do, goin happen to dem,

Cuz dey no bodda fo lissen wat I tell dem.

Dey hate my rules.

20 You guys tink I like da incense from Sheba

You tink I like da sweet calamus reed from one far place

I tell “Laytas” to yoa burn up kine sacrifices!

21 Az why Da One In Charge tell dis:

“I da One goin make da peopo all jam up.

Da faddahs an dea boys goin get wipe out same time.

Frenz an peopo nea dem goin mahke.”

22 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell:

“Look! Get army guys stay come from da north side.

Stay make ready fo war.

23 Dey get bow an arrow an short sword fo fight.

25 No go out inside da fields.

27 “Wen you tell dem all dis stuff, dey no goin lissen you. Wen you yell to dem, dey no goin ansa. 28 Az why you gotta tell um, ‘You Judah guys, da peopo dat no lissen yoa God, Da One In Charge. You guys no like learn notting wen he punish you fo make you go da right way. Fo you guys, no mo nobody tell da trut. You no even talk bout wass true!

Da Judah Peopo Broke Da Deal Wit God

2 “Lissen up you guys! Da deal I get wit you tell dis. You, Jeremiah, tell all dis to da Judah peopo an da peopo dat live inside Jerusalem. 3 Tell dem dat dis wat me, Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Anybody dat no do wat my deal wit da Israel peopo tell, dey goin get kahuna put on top dem. 4 Da time I wen bring yoa ancesta guys outa Egypt, dis da rules I wen tell dem dey gotta follow. Eryting ova dea was real hard fo dem, jalike dey inside one real hot fire fo take da junk outa da iron. I tell um: ‘Lissen up, an do eryting I tell you guys fo do! Den you guys goin come my peopo, an I goin come yoa God. 5 Dass cuz I like do wat I wen make one strong promise fo do to yoa ancesta guys, fo give dem one land dat get plenny milk an honey erytime.’ Az da land you guys get today!”

An me, Jeremiah, I tell Da One In Charge, “Az right!”

6 Da One In Charge tell me, “Tell all dis stuff I stay tell you inside da Judah towns an on top da Jerusalem streets: ‘No foget wass my deal wit yoa ancesta guys, an do um. 7 From da time I wen bring yoa ancesta guys outa Egypt till today, I tell dem serious kine ova an ova, “You guys betta lissen wat I stay tell, an do um!” 8 But yoa ancesta guys neva lissen wat I tell, an dey no do um. Dey neva even tink bout wat I tell dem. Dey real hard head, so dey do wateva bad kine ting dey like do. Az why I wen make happen all da real bad kine stuff dis deal tell goin happen to dem, cuz I awready tell um wat fo do but dey neva do um.’ ”

9 Den Da One In Charge tell me, “Da Judah peopo an da Jerusalem peopo, dey stay make one secret deal wit each odda. 10 Dey stay make jalike befo time an do wass wrong. Dey do same kine ting dea ancesta guys wen do. Dea ancesta guys neva like lissen wat I tell. An now, dese guys stay tight wit odda gods an work fo dem. Da Israel an Judah ohanas wen broke da deal I wen make wit dea ancesta guys. 11 Az why dis wat me, Da One In Charge, tell: ‘I goin make one real bad kine ting happen to dem, an dey no goin get outa dat. Dey goin yell fo me help um, but I no goin lissen. 12 Da peopo inside da Judah towns an da Jerusalem peopo goin yell to dea idol kine gods dey burn incense fo, fo dem help. But dose gods no goin help dem notting, wen da bad time come to dem. 13 You Judah guys get plenny towns an plenny gods, jalike get one god fo ery town. An you Jerusalem guys put up plenny sacrifice places fo make one shame kine sacrifice, an dose sacrifice places fo da shame kine god Baal, jalike you guys get one sacrifice place fo ery street inside Jerusalem.’

14 “Eh Jeremiah! Az why, no pray fo dis peopo no moa! No go yell o beg me fo do stuff fo dem! Cuz I no goin lissen wen bad tings happen an dey yell fo me fo help dem.

15 “I get love an aloha fo dese peopo.

But dey no mo da right fo come inside my Temple.

Cuz dey stay make plan

Fo plenny peopo do bad kine stuff!

Dey even take home da meat an fat from da sacrifices

Dat stay spesho fo me!

But bumbye, wen bad kine stuff happen to you guys,

You guys no goin dance an sing dat time!

16 “Me, Da One In Charge, befo time

Cuz you jalike one strong olive tree

Dat get good kine olives!

But wit plenny noise jalike az one strong storm

I goin burn dat tree,

An da branches goin broke.

17 “Me Da One In Charge, me da God Ova All Da Armies! I wen plant you guys on top dis land jalike dat olive tree. But I tell dis bout you guys now: you goin get wipe out! Az cuz you Israel ohana an Judah ohana guys wen do bad kine stuff, an dat make me come real huhu, cuz you guys burn incense fo da god Baal.”

Da Peopo Make Plan Agains Jeremiah

Dass how I know wass happening cuz he show me wat dey stay do. 19 Befo Da One In Charge tell me dat, I stay jalike one bebe sheep dat trus da peopo dat lead um out fo kill um, cuz I neva know dey make one plan agains me! Dey tell, “Eh, we goin kill dis Jeremiah buggah an wat he tell, jalike we goin wipe out one tree an eryting dat grow on top um! We goin wipe him out from da land wea peopo live. Den erybody goin foget him an his name!” 20 But you, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, you judge peopo da right way. You know how erybody feel an how erybody tink. I wen tell you eryting fo you take kea me cuz you da Judge. Az why I like you pay back da peopo dat stay make one plan fo kill me.

21 So dis da message from Da One In Charge bout da Anatot guys dat stay try fo kill me. Dey tell, “No talk fo Da One In Charge, o we goin kill you!”

22 So dis wat Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies, tell: “Me, I goin punish dem guys! Army guys wit swords goin kill dea young guys. Dea boys an girls goin mahke cuz dey no mo food. 23 No goin get nobody from da Anatot guys goin stay alive, cuz I goin make real bad kine stuff happen to dem, wen da time come fo punish dem.”

Messages Wen No Mo Rain

1 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell me Jeremiah bout how come one time no mo rain:

2 “Da Judah peopo stay sad inside.

Da big towns no mo biznis.

Da peopo sit on top da groun

An cry bout da land, jalike get one funeral.

All da Jerusalem peopo stay yell fo help.

3 Dea alii guys sen dea worka guys fo go carry watta.

Dey go da watta storage places,

But no mo watta ova dea.

Dey come back wit empty watta jars.

Dey shame an dey lose face,

Az why dey cova dea head.

4 Da groun all dry an stay crack,

Cuz no mo rain inside da land.

Da farma guys stay shame.

Az why dey cova dea heads too.

5 Even da muddah wild deer

6 Da wild kine donkeys

Stan on top da high hills wea no mo grass.

Dey breave hard jalike da wild jackal kine dogs cuz no mo watta.

Dea eyes no can see good cuz no mo notting grow dea fo eat.”

7 Den dis how us guys pray: “I know us guys wen do wass wrong,

An az why all dis stuff happen.

You Da One In Charge.

Try do someting fo show wat kine god you,

Cuz us guys wen run away from you

An do plenny bad kine stuff agains you.

8 You da One us Israel peopo wait fo.

Jalike you donno wass happening?!

How come you ack

Jalike one army guy dat no can get us outa trouble?!

You stay right hea wit us, Da One In Charge.

Erybody know dat us guys yoa peopo. So no leave us!”

10 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell bout how his peopo stay:

“Dey like go check out any kine place.

Dey no pick da right way fo go.”

Az why Da One In Charge no like how dey ack.

Da way tings stay now,

He no goin foget da wrong tings dey stay do.

He goin punish dem cuz a da bad tings dey do.

11 Den Da One In Charge tell me, “No pray fo dis peopo one mo time! No aks me fo do good tings fo dem! 12 No matta dey skip food wen dey pray, I no goin lissen wat dey yell to me fo do. No matta dey make burn up kine sacrifices an wheat an barley kine sacrifices, I had it wit wat dey stay do. I goin be da One dat goin wipe dem out cuz a da war, an cuz dey no mo food, an cuz a da real bad kine sick.”

13 But me, I tell, “Ho, my boss, Da One In Charge a me! I know you stay in charge a eryting! But da guys dat suppose to talk fo you stay tell da peopo: ‘You guys no goin see war, an you guys no goin come hungry. Fo shua, Da One In Charge goin make eryting stay okay an no goin get war inside dis place.’ ”

14 Den Da One In Charge tell, “Dose guys dat tell dey talk fo me, dey use my name fo bulai you guys! No matta dey tell dey talk fo me, I neva sen dem. I neva tell dem fo talk lidat. I neva even talk to dem! Dey tell dey see dreams dat come from me, but dey bulai! Dey aks da gods fo da odda peopos fo tell um wat goin happen, but all dat, ony wase time! Dey make jalike all da stuff dey tell you guys stay fo real, but dey ony bulai you guys! Dem guys, dey tell all dat stuff to you guys jalike dey stay talking fo me! But dey not. 15 Az why dis wat I tell bout da talka guys dat use my name an tell dey talk fo me, Da One In Charge: Me, I neva sen dem guys, no matta dey tell ‘Inside dis land, no goin get war. Da peopo no goin come hungry.’ Dose same talka guys goin get wipe out wit war, an dey goin come hungry an mahke. 16 An da peopo dat lissen dem, dey goin mahke too inside Jerusalem, cuz dey no mo food, an da army guys goin kill dem wit swords too. Da army guys goin throw out da mahke bodies on top da streets. No goin get nobody fo bury dem, o dea wifes bodies, o dea boys bodies, o dea girls bodies. I goin make all da bad kine stuff dey do happen to dem.

17 “Tell um dis: ‘Let me cry plenny fo you guys

Day time an nite time.

I cry fo my peopo

Cuz I love dem

Jalike I love my young girl,

Cuz dey all bus up an hurt bad!

18 If I go out da country side,

I see da guys dat da army guys wen kill wit swords.

If I go aroun inside Jerusalem town,

I see all da peopo dat stay sick

Cuz no mo food.

Da guys dat talk fo God an da pries guys

Stay go all ova da land fo do dea work,

But dey donno wat dey stay do!’ ”

19 You Da One In Charge fo real kine!

You hate da Jerusalem peopo, o wat?!

How come you wack us guys

Fo us no come good, aah?!

We wait fo eryting come okay an no mo war,

But we ony stay real sked.

20 You Da One In Charge,

All us guys do bad kine stuff agains you.

21 Cuz you get one good rep, no make to us guys like we no good.

Den go stan by all da odda gates fo Jerusalem too. 20 Tell um: ‘Lissen wat Da One In Charge stay tell, you Judah kings, an all da Judah peopo, an all da Jerusalem peopo dat come inside dese gates! 21 ✡Dis da message from Da One In Charge: You betta watch out if you like stay alive!

Da Guy Dat Make Clay Pots

(Rome 9:21)

1 Dis anodda message fo Jeremiah from Da One In Charge: 2 “Go down by da house a da guy dat make clay pots. Wen you get dea, I goin tell you someting.” 3 So I go down by da house a da guy dat make clay pots. I see he stay work wit da wheel fo make pots. 4 But kapulu da way he make dis pot wit his hands, so he make one diffren pot wit da same wet clay, da way he tink mo betta.

5 Den Da One In Charge give me dis message: 6 “You Israel peopo, how come you guys tink I no can make wit you guys jalike dis guy make wit da clay pot?! Fo me, you guys jalike da clay dis guy use fo make clay pots wit his hands. 7 If bumbye I tell dat I goin pull out one peopo o one king an his peopo from da land, an wipe um out, 8 an if dose peopo dat I tell, change an come sorry fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an no do um no moa, den I goin tink diffren, an I no goin do to dem all da bad kine stuff dat I wen plan fo do to dem befoa.

9 “An if anodda time I tell dat I goin make one peopo o one king an his peopo come strong, 10 but if dey start fo do bad kine stuff da way I see um, an no lissen wat I tell, den I goin tink one mo time bout if I goin do da good tings dat I wen tell I was goin do befo time.

11 “Az why you gotta tell all dis to all da Judah peopo an da Jerusalem peopo: ‘Dis da message from Da One In Charge: Watch out! I da One stay make ready all da bad kine stuff goin happen to you guys. I da One stay make one plan agains you guys. All you guys betta not do da bad kine stuff no moa, an betta change how all you guys ack.’ 12 But da peopo goin tell: ‘Laytas wit dat! All us guys goin do wat us like do! All us guys hard head an no mo one good heart, an we goin stay lidat!’ ”

13 Az why Da One In Charge tell dis:

“Aks all da peopos,

You guys hear somebody talk lidis, o wat?!

Da Israel peopo, I get love an aloha fo dem, jalike dey my wahine,

But now, dey do one real real bad kine ting.

You tink da cold watta ova dea come from far away, eva come notting?! Not even!

15 But my peopo, dey not like da watta from da mountains!

Dey no give a rip bout me.

Dey burn incense fo da idol kine gods dat no can do notting.

No matta da idol kine gods make my peopo

Fall down from da good roads dat stay from long time.

Da idol kine gods make dem go walk on top

Da small kine trails dat nobody build um good.

16 Odda peopo goin bus up dea land.

Odda peopo goin come shock erytime dey see um.

Erybody dat go by dea goin come bum out.

Dey goin shake dea heads cuz all bus up da land.

17 I goin make dem go all ova da place

In front da peopo dat stay agains dem,

Jalike one wind from da dry boonies throw dirt all ova da place.

I goin make deaf ear to dem

Wen time fo wipe dem out.”

Dat way, we not goin throw out da rules da pries guys teach, o throw out wat da guys dat know wat fo do erytime tell us fo do, o throw out da tings da guys dat talk fo God tell. So we goin poin finga Jeremiah an tell wat he do wrong. We no goin lissen him notting!”

Jalike dey dig one big hole fo kill me.

Wen peopo hear bout dis, dey goin come all shock, cuz dis place goin come all bus up. 4 Az cuz da peopo wen bag from me. Dey make dis landfill come one place fo da gods from odda places. Dey burn sacrifice ova hea fo da idol kine gods dat dey neva know befo time. Dea ancesta guys an da Judah kings neva know dose gods befo time too. An dis da place dey wen kill plenny peopo dat neva do notting wrong. 5 ✡Dey build sacrifice places aroun hea fo da idol kine god Baal. Dey go burn up dea kids inside da fire dea, fo make burn up kine sacrifice fo Baal. I neva tell dem fo make dat kine sacrifice. I neva even talk bout um. Dass not wat I like dem fo do! 6 So you guys betta wise up! Me, Da One In Charge, an dis wat I tell: Da time goin come wen peopo no goin call dis place Tofet no moa, o da Ben Hinnom Valley, but da Valley Wea Dey Kill Peopo.

7 “ ‘Right hea, I goin jam up da plans dat da Judah peopo an da Jerusalem peopo make. Da guys dat stay agains da Judah peopo, an like kill um, dey goin kill da Judah peopo wit swords.

Erybody dat pass by dea goin come bum out. Dey goin come shock cuz da town stay all bus up. 9 Da Jerusalem peopo goin snap. Az cuz da guys dat stay agains dem an like kill dem goin put dea army guys all aroun outside da town an no let um go get food. Dat time, I goin make dem kill dea boys an girls an eat um. Dey goin eat each odda too.’

10 “Afta you tell um all dis, broke da clay watta bottle in front da guys dat go aroun wit you. 11 Tell dem, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell: I goin broke down dis peopo an dis big town, jalike Jeremiah wen broke dis bottle from da guy dat make pots, so no can fix um. Da Judah an Jerusalem peopo goin bury dea mahke guys inside dis Tofet Valley till no mo room. 12 Me, Da One In Charge, dis wat I goin do to dis place an to da peopo dat live hea. I goin fill up dis town wit mahke bodies jalike Tofet Valley. 13 Da houses inside Jerusalem an da houses fo da Judah kings goin come pilau cuz a all da mahke bodies, jalike dis Tofet place. Dis cuz dey burn incense on top dea flat roofs fo all da gods in da sky, an pour out drink sacrifice fo da odda kine gods.’ ”

An he tell all da peopo dis: 15 “Da One In Charge tell dis. He da God Ova All Da Armies, an da God fo da Israel peopo. He tell: Lissen up! Inside dis big town an da small towns aroun um, I goin make happen all da real bad kine stuff I wen tell dem dat I goin do befo I do um. Cuz dey hard head, an dey no like lissen wat I tell.”

1 ✡One time, Da One In Charge show me two basket figs dat somebody put in front da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. (Az was afta King Nebukadnezzar from Babylon wen make Koniah his prisona an bring um from Jerusalem to Babylon. Koniah, da Judah king an Jehoiakim boy. Nebukadnezzar make da leada guys fo da Judah peopo prisonas an take dem away too. An he do da same ting wit da guys dat smart fo make fancy kine stuff an wit da military engineer guys.) 2 One basket get real good kine fig, da kine dat come ripe early. Da odda basket get rotten figs, real rotten so nobody eat um.

3 Den Da One In Charge tell me, “Eh Jeremiah! Wat you see?”

I tell, “Figs. Da good figs stay real good, but da rotten figs stay real bad, nobody can eat um.”

4 Den Da One In Charge give me dis message: 5 “Me, Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, an dis wat I tell: ‘Da prisona guys from Judah, dey jalike da good figs. Dey da ones I wen sen away from dis place to da Babylon land. 6 I goin take kea dem fo make shua good kine tings happen to dem, an I goin bring dem back to dis land.

An dey goin use dea name fo put kahuna on top peopo wea eva I sen dem. 10 I goin make war come to dem, I goin take away dea food, an goin sen one bad kine sick fo hurt dem till dey all come wipe out from da land dat I wen give to dem an dea ancesta guys.”

25

Dey Goin Be Prisonas Fo Seventy Years

1 ✡Dis, da message Da One In Charge wen give Jeremiah bout all da Judah peopo. Was da year numba four wen Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, stay king fo Judah. Az was da firs year dat Nebukadnezzar stay da king fo Babylon. 2 So Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge, tell all da Judah peopo, an all da peopo dat live inside Jerusalem: 3 “From da year numba thirteen wen Josiah, Amon boy, stay king fo Judah, till today, az twenny-three year. All dat time, I get messages from Da One In Charge, an I stay tell you guys ova an ova wat he tell. But you guys no lissen.

4 “Da One In Charge sen his worka guys by you guys ova an ova fo talk fo him. But no matta Da One In Charge sen um, you guys no lissen wat his talka guys tell. You ony make deaf ear. 5 Da guys dat talk fo God wen tell dem dis: ‘All you guys gotta change da way you tink! You gotta change an no do bad kine tings no moa! Den you can come back fo live inside da land Da One In Charge wen give you guys an yoa ancesta guys fo real long time. 6 No follow odda gods. No work fo dem. No go down in front dem. No make me come huhu wit da idol kine gods you guys make wit yoa hands. Den I no goin hurt you guys.’ ”

7 But Da One In Charge tell: “You guys no lissen me. An you guys make me come huhu cuz a da idol kine gods you guys make wit yoa hands. Az how come you guys make trouble fo you!”

8 Az why Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell dis: “Cuz you guys no lissen wat I tell, 9 I goin call all da peopos from da north fo come togedda. I goin call King Nebukadnezzar fo come too from Babylon. He do my work fo me, an I goin bring him an da odda peopos agains dis land an da peopo dat live hea, an agains all da peopos aroun hea. I goin wipe dem all out, jalike oua peopo wipe out one animal wen dey make one sacrifice. Dass how I goin make erybody come shock an shake dea head, an come real sore inside cuz a dem. No goin get notting dea, all da time afta dey come wipe out. 10 ✡I goin make shua dat no mo nobody from Jerusalem goin stay good inside o like make party. Even da bride an groom no goin say notting. No goin get noise from da stones dat make da wheat flour, an no goin get light from da olive oil lamps. 11 ✡Dis whole land goin come dry an no goin get nobody live ova dea. Anybody go by dea goin come shock. All dese peopos goin work hard fo da Babylon king fo seventy year.” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

12 An Da One In Charge tell: “But wen da seventy year pau, I goin punish da Babylon king an his peopo an wipe out dea land, cuz dey get da blame fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do. An I goin wipe out dea land foeva, an dis goin make peopo come shock foeva. 13 I goin make happen eryting dat I wen tell goin happen agains da Babylon land, an eryting dat stay inside dis book, an eryting Jeremiah wen tell fo me agains all da diffren peopos. 14 Da Babylon guys goin be da ones fo come slaves fo strong kings an dea peopos. I goin pay back da Babylon guys fo da bad kine stuff dey do!”

God No Take Wat Da Nations Do

15 Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell me: “Take dis cup from my hand. Da wine inside da cup, jalike stay dea fo show dat I no like wat da diffren peopos do. Wea eva I sen you, make dem drink dis wine. 16 Wen dey drink um, dey goin stagga, an come pupule, cuz I goin sen war inside dea countries fo wipe um out!”

17 So I take da cup from Da One In Charge hand, an I make all dese nations drink um, ery place he sen me:

18 I give um to da Jerusalem peopo, an da peopo inside da towns inside Judah, an dea king guys an leada guys. Az fo make dem come wipe out, an make dea peopo come bum out, an come shock an shake dea head, an put kahuna on top dem—jalike how dey stay today.

19 I give da cup to

da Pharaoh guy, da king fo Egypt,

his palace guys, his leada guys, an all his peopo, an

20 all da odda kine peopo from diffren place dat live dea,

all da king guys fo Uz,

all da king guys fo da Filisha peopo (da ones from Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, an da peopo dat still yet stay alive Ashdod side),

all da king guys land dat get on top da earth.

An afta all dose guys, da king fo Sheshak (az one secret name fo Babylon, you know) gotta drink um too.

27 Den Da One In Charge tell me: “Now tell um, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Go drink plenny from da cup. Come piloot an puke an fall down so you no can stan up no moa, cuz I goin sen armies fo wipe out you guys.’ 28 But if dey no like take da cup from you an drink um, tell um, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell: No matta you no like drink um, you guys gotta drink um! 29 Da firs ting I goin do, I goin punish da peopo from Jerusalem, da town dat get my name! An if I do dat, how come you guys tink I no goin punish you too?! Fo shua I goin punish you guys! I goin make war agains erybody dat stay on top da earth!’ ” Az wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell.

30 “You, Jeremiah, go talk fo me to all da diffren peopos. Tell all dis stuff agains dem, an tell dem:

“ ‘Jalike one lion dat stay ready fo hunt,

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

An go from dem to anodda peopo.

Jalike one strong storm stay coming

Some Peopo Tell Jeremiah
Dey Goin Kill Him

1 ✡Da firs year afta Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, come da king fo da Judah peopo, had dis message from Da One In Charge fo me, Jeremiah. 2 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: “Go stan in front da lanai fo da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. Talk to all da peopo from da towns inside Judah dat come my Temple fo go down in front me fo show love an respeck fo me, Da One In Charge. Tell dem eryting I tell you. No hold back notting I tell you. 3 Maybe dey goin lissen, an no do da bad kine stuff all a dem stay do. If dey do dat, I goin change da way I goin make to dem. I goin hold back da bad kine stuff I wen plan fo do to dem cuz a da bad kine stuff dey stay do. 4 Tell dem dat Da One In Charge tell dis: If you guys no lissen me, an no live da way I teach in front all you guys, dis wat goin happen: 5 My worka guys tell you guys fo lissen. Dey da ones dat talk fo me. I stay sen um by you guys ova an ova, but you guys still no lissen dem. An if you guys no lissen, 6 ✡den I goin make dis Temple come one uku pile a rocks jalike Shiloh town! I goin make dis Jerusalem town da kine place dat all da peopos on top da earth goin talk bad bout wen dey put kahuna on top somebody an tell, ‘I like you come all bus up, jalike Jerusalem town!’ ”

7 Da pries guys, an da guys dat tell dey talk fo God, an all da peopo, dey wen hear all dis stuff dat Jeremiah tell in da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 8 But wen Jeremiah pau tell all da stuff Da One In Charge tell him fo tell, da pries guys, da guys dat tell dey talk fo God, an all da peopo grab him, an tell, “You gotta mahke! 9 How come you stay use Da One In Charge name an tell dat you stay talk fo him, but you stay tell dat dis Temple goin come jalike Shiloh town, an dat dis Jerusalem town goin come wipe out an no mo nobody goin live hea?!” An all da peopo wen come togedda agains Jeremiah in front da Temple Fo Da One In Charge.

10 Wen da Judah leadas hear bout all dis, dey go up from da king palace to da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an stan by da New Gate fo da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 11 Den da pries guys an da guys dat tell dey talk fo God, dey tell da leadas an da peopo, “Dis guy gotta mahke, cuz he tell he talk fo God, but he grumble bout dis town. You guys wen hear wat he wen tell!”

12 Den Jeremiah tell all da leada guys an da peopo, “Was Da One In Charge dat wen sen me hea fo talk fo him, an fo tell wat word you guys wen hear agains dis Temple an dis town. 13 Now go change how you guys ack! Start fo lissen wat yoa God tell, Da One In Charge. Den Da One In Charge goin change da way he make to you guys. He no goin make all da bad kine stuff happen dat he wen tell goin happen fo hurt you guys. 14 But fo me, you guys get da powa ova me. Do wateva you like dat you tink stay good an right. 15 But you gotta know dis fo shua—if you guys da ones goin kill me, you guys an erybody dat live inside dis town goin get da blame fo kill somebody dat neva do notting wrong. Cuz az true dat Da One In Charge wen sen me by you guys fo tell all dis stuff I stay tell fo you guys hear um.”

16 Den da leadas an da peopo tell da pries guys an da guys dat tell dey talk fo God, “Dis guy not suppose to mahke, cuz oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, wen use dis guy fo talk to us.”

17 Some a da older leada guys dea from da land stan up in front all da peopo dat come togedda, an tell: 18 ✡“Wen Hezekiah stay da Judah king, Micah from Moreshet wen talk fo God. He tell all da Judah peopo, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell: “Zion Hill wea da Temple stay goin come jalike one field somebody wen plow. Jerusalem town goin come jalike one big rubbish pile! Da hill fo da Temple goin come one hill wit plenny trees all ova.” ’ 19 You tink Hezekiah da Judah king an his peopo wen kill Micah cuz he talk lidat?! No ways! Dey no do bad kine stuff. Dey show choke respeck fo Da One In Charge. Dey beg Da One In Charge fo give chance. Cuz a dis, Da One In Charge no do wat he was goin do befo time. He no put da bad kine stuff on top dem dat he wen tell befo time he goin do. But wat goin happen to us guys if we kill dis guy Jeremiah!”

Anodda Guy Dat Talk Fo God Get Kill

20 Had anodda guy Uriah, Shemaiah boy, from Kiriat-Jearim, dat use Da One In Charge name an talk fo him.

24 But Ahikam, Shafan boy, he get da powa fo back up Jeremiah, so he no let da peopo grab um fo kill um.

Da Guys Dat Tell
Dey Talk Fo God, But Dey Bulai

1 ✡Da firs year afta Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, come king fo da Judah peopo, get anodda message from Da One In Charge fo me, Jeremiah. 2 I tell da peopo dat Da One In Charge tell me dis: “Make da kine straps an bars dat peopo use fo one yoke fo dea cow pull wagon. Tie da yoke on top yoa neck. 3 Den sen one message bout da yoke to ery ambassada guy dat come by Zedekiah, da king fo Judah inside Jerusalem. Da ambassada guys come from da kings fo Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, an Sidon. Tell um take home da message fo dea king. 4 Tell dem fo tell dea boss guys, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell. So dis wat you guys gotta tell yoa guys dat stay in charge: 5 Me, Da One In Charge, I wen make da world, all da peopo, an da animals dat stay on top da earth, cuz I get plenny powa an I use um how I like. I give my powa to anybody I like. 6 Now, I give all da countries wea you guys stay king, to my helpa guy Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon. I even give him all da wild animals fo help him! 7 All da diffren peopos goin come work fo him, an his boy, an his grankid. But den, da time goin come fo odda peopos an strong kine kings fo take ova his country Babylon, an make him an his peopo work fo dem. 8 But if get one peopo wit one king dat no do wat Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, tell um fo do, az jalike dey no put dea neck unda his yoke. An I goin punish dat peopo. I goin make war come to dem, I goin take away dea food, an goin sen da bad kine sick fo hurt dem. Dass how I goin use Nebukadnezzar fo wipe all dem out. Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

9 “ ‘Az why you king guys betta not lissen da guys dat talk fo yoa gods, da guys dat aks dea gods wat goin happen, da guys dat can tell you wat yoa dream tell, da guys dat call da spirit from da mahke peopo fo come tell you wat goin happen bumbye, da guys dat tell wass goin happen cuz dey know da bad kine spirits! No lissen dem wen dey tell you guys dat you no goin come slaves fo da Babylon king! 10 Cuz wen dey tell you wat dea gods tell you, dey bulai. An cuz a dat, peopo goin bring you guys far away from yoa land. I goin kick out you guys, an you guys goin come wipe out. 11 But if any country let da Babylon king take ova dem fo dem work fo him, az jalike dey let him put one yoke on top dea neck. I goin let dose peopo stay inside dea land fo farm da land an live dea.’ ” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

12 Jeremiah tell: “Den I tell da same ting to Zedekiah, da Judah king. I tell um: ‘All you guys gotta let da Babylon king take ova. You gotta work fo him an his peopo, jalike you guys stay put da yoke from da Babylon king on top yoa neck. You guys do dat, you goin stay alive! 13 No need you an yoa peopo mahke from war, mahke cuz no mo food, an mahke from da real bad kine sick! Cuz Da One In Charge tell, dat if one peopo no let da Babylon king take ova, dass wat goin happen to dem. 14 No lissen wat da guys dat tell dey talk fo Da One In Charge tell! Dey tell you guys no work fo da Babylon king fo bulai you! 15 Da One In Charge tell he neva sen dem. Dey tell dey talk fo him, but dey bulai. Az why he goin kick you guys outa yoa land, an you goin come wipe out, you an all da guys dat tell you guys dat dey talk fo him.’ ”

16 Den I tell da pries guys an all da peopo: “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: No lissen da guys dat tell dey talk fo me! Dey tell you dat real fas, da stuff from da Temple Fo Da One In Charge goin come back from Babylon. Da guys dat tell you guys dat dey talk fo me, dey bulai you guys! 17 No lissen dem! Work fo da Babylon king, so den you guys goin stay alive! No need dis town come all bus up! 18 Maybe get guys dat talk fo Da One In Charge fo real, an dey get one message from Da One In Charge. Den, good dey pray to Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, dat da stuff dat still stay inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an inside da palace a da Judah king, an inside Jerusalem, no go Babylon.

19 “Cuz dis wat Da One In Charge tell bout da big poses, da big watta tank, da watta carts dat move, an da odda stuff from da Temple dat still stay yet inside dis town: 20 Nebukadnezzar neva take dat stuff away, da time he wen catch Koniah, Jehoiakim boy, da king fo Judah. He make him prisona an take um away from Jerusalem to Babylon, wit all da alii guys from Judah an Jerusalem. 21 But dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell bout da stuff dat still stay inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an inside da palace fo da Judah king, an inside Jerusalem: 22 Dey goin take um away Babylon side, an goin stay ova dea, till da time come fo go an get um. Den I goin bring um back an put um inside dis place one mo time.” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

Da Fake Talka Guy Hananiah

1 ✡Litto bit afta Zedekiah come king fo da Judah peopo, in da year numba four, month numba five, had one guy dat tell he talk fo Da One In Charge. Da guy name, Hananiah, Azzur boy, from Gibeon town. In front da pries guys an all da peopo, inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, he tell dis to me, Jeremiah: 2 “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘I goin take away da powa da Babylon king get ova you guys, jalike I goin broke da yoke from yoa neck! 3 Befo two mo year pau, I goin bring back hea all da stuffs from da Temple Fo Da One In Charge dat Nebukadnezzar, da Babylon king, wen steal from hea an carry Babylon side. 4 I goin bring back Koniah, Jehoiakim boy, da king fo Judah, to dis place too, an all da odda prisonas from Judah dat wen go Babylon. Cuz I goin broke da yoke da king fo Babylon wen put on top oua peopo. Az wat me Da One In Charge tell.’ ”

5 Den me, Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge fo real kine, I tell dis to da talka guy Hananiah, in front da pries guys an all da peopo dat stay stan aroun da Temple Fo Da One In Charge: 6 “Az right! Good! I like fo Da One In Charge do dat too! I like Da One In Charge make happen all da tings you wen tell cuz you talk fo him! I like fo him carry back to dis place from Babylon, da stuff from da Temple Fo Da One In Charge! I like fo him bring back all da peopo dey wen make prisona an take Babylon side! 7 But lissen up wat I tell. I goin tell um right hea, wea you an all da peopo can hear me. 8 From befo time, da guys dat wen talk fo Da One In Charge befo me an you, dey wen tell bout all da bad kine stuff dat goin happen to plenny countries an plenny strong kings. Dey tell how goin get war, an real bad kine tings goin happen, an goin get da real bad kine sick. 9 But maybe get somebody dat tell he talk fo Da One In Charge, an he go tell dat eryting goin come good. Ony get one way da peopo goin know if was Da One In Charge dat tell da guy fo tell wat he tell. Dey goin know fo shua, ony if wat da guy wen tell, happen fo real.”

10 Den da guy Hananiah dat tell he talk fo Da One In Charge, take da yoke pieces from Jeremiah neck an broke um—az me, Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge. 11 Hananiah tell in front all da peopo: “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: Jalike Hananiah wen do dis, I goin hemo da yoke dat Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, wen put on top da neck a all da diffren peopos. Dis goin happen befo two year pau.” Den me, Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge, goin go way from dea.

12 Litto bit afta da guy Hananiah hemo da yoke from my neck, Da One In Charge give me dis message: 13 “Go by Hananiah an tell: ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: You wen broke one wood yoke bar on top yoa neck. But you know wat?! Cuz a dat, now you goin get one iron yoke on top yoa neck. 14 Cuz dis wat me Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: I goin make all dose diffren peopos work fo Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, jalike I put one iron yoke on top dem. I even goin give him powa ova da wild animals.’ ”

15 Den Jeremiah tell Hananiah, “Lissen up, Hananiah! Da One In Charge neva sen you fo talk fo him! But you da one wen tell dis Judah nation fo trus wat you tell, but wat you tell, you bulai! 16 Az why Da One In Charge tell me fo tell you: ‘Litto bit mo time an den I goin wipe you out from on top da earth. Dis year you goin mahke, cuz you wen tell da peopo fo go agains me, Da One In Charge!’ ”

17 Dat same year, afta two month, Hananiah da guy dat tell he talk fo Da One In Charge, he mahke.

One Letta Fo Da Prisonas Babylon Side

1 ✡Anodda time Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo God, write one letta from Jerusalem. He sen um to da older leadas dat still stay alive wit da prisona guys inside Babylon, an to da pries guys, an da guys dat talk fo God ova dea, an da odda peopo dat Nebukadnezzar wen take away from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (He write um afta da importan peopo come prisonas an go way from Jerusalem—az King Koniah, his muddah dat was queen befo time, da govmen guys from da palace, da leada guys fo Judah an Jerusalem, da guys dat know how fo make stuff, an da military guys dat know how fo put up wall.) 3 Jeremiah give da letta to Elasah, Shafan boy, an to Gemariah, Hilkiah boy. Da time dat Zedekiah, da king fo Judah, tell dem fo go by Nebukadnezzar da Babylon king. Jeremiah tell dis inside da letta:

4 Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Dis letta fo all you prisona guys dat I wen take from Jerusalem to Babylon. 5 “Build houses ova dea an live inside um! Plant garden an eat wat grow dea! 6 Get married ova dea. Born kids. Find wifes fo yoa boys, an give yoa girls fo marry fo dem born plenny grankids. Make yoa ohanas come mo plenny. No let um come litto bit. 7 Figga how fo do good tings fo da town wea I put you, no matta you prisonas. Pray to me, Da One In Charge, dat eryting goin come mo betta fo da peopo dat live dea from befo time. Cuz den eryting goin come mo betta fo you guys too!”

8 Cuz Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell dis too: “Da guys dat stay wit you guys an tell dey talk fo me, an da guys dat aks dea gods wat goin happen, no let dem bulai you guys! No lissen da peopo dat tell you ‘I know wat goin happen to you guys cuz I goin dream um.’ Cuz den dey goin dream howeva you like um fo dream! 9 Dey bulai wen dey use my name an tell dat dey talk to you guys fo me. I neva sen dem!” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

10 ✡But dis wat Da One In Charge tell fo real kine: “Wen da time pau fo da Babylon guys stay in charge, az goin be seventy year. Dass wen I goin come by you guys. I goin make happen fo you guys da good kine stuff dat I wen make one promise fo do. I goin bring you guys back dis place. 11 Cuz me, I know da plans dat I stay make fo you guys. I goin make eryting come good fo you guys, an not bad. I goin make good kine stuff happen to you guys bumbye, da good kine stuff you stay wait fo.” Dass da message from Da One In Charge! 12 “Wen you guys call out to me fo me come help you, an pray to me, den I goin lissen you guys. 13 ✡You guys try serious kine fo find me, you goin find me. Dat goin happen wen you go all out fo look fo me! 14 I goin let you guys find me!” Az wat Da One In Charge tell. “I goin make eryting come good fo you guys one mo time. I goin give you guys back yoa property. I goin bring you guys togedda from all da nations an da places wea I wen make you guys go wen I kick you outa hea. I goin bring you guys back dis place wea you guys wen stay, befo I make you guys come prisonas an go way.”

15 Maybe you guys goin figga, “Fo shua, Da One In Charge wen give us some guys fo talk fo him ova hea, Babylon side.” 16 But dis wat Da One In Charge tell bout da king guy dat come from David, an all da odda peopo dat still stay inside Jerusalem town. All dose peopo neva come prisonas an go way Babylon side wit you guys. 17 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell, “I goin sen war agains da ones dat stay hea inside Jerusalem. Dey no goin get food, an dey goin get one bad kine sick, cuz I stay agains dem. I goin make to dem jalike dey rotten kine figs, dat stay real bad, fo no mo nobody eat um. 18 I goin chase um wit war, an take away dea food, an give um one bad kine sick. I goin make all da king guys on top da earth an dea peopos come shock cuz a dem, an tink horraz bout dem an use dea name fo put kahuna on top odda peopo. Erybody goin shake dea head cuz a dem. All da peopos wea I make dem go, goin make fun a dem. 19 Az cuz da peopo hea no lissen wat I tell. No matta my guys dat work fo me an talk fo me tell dem ova an ova, dey no lissen. An you guys dat stay prisonas Babylon side, you guys no lissen too.” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

20 “Az why you guys betta lissen wat I tell all you prisona guys dat I wen sen from Jerusalem to Babylon. 21 Dis wat me, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell bout Ahab Kolaiah boy, an Zedekiah Maaseiah boy. Dey tell dat dey talk fo me, but dey stay bulai you guys. Az why I goin make dem come prisona guys fo Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, an he goin tell his guys kill dem in front you guys. 22 Cuz a dem, all da prisona guys from Judah dat stay inside Babylon goin use dose guys name an talk lidis wen dey like put kahuna on top somebody: ‘I like Da One In Charge make to you jalike he wen make to Zedekiah an Ahab, dat da Babylon king wen burn ova one fire till dey mahke!’ 23 Az cuz dey wen ack stupid an broke da rules from God inside Israel. Dey fool aroun wit odda guys wifes. Dey use my name an tell dey talk fo me, but dey bulai—no was me tell dem fo say wateva dey tell. I know wat dey wen do an I can tell wat I wen see.”

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

Wat God Tell Shemaiah

24 “Jeremiah, tell dis bout Shemaiah da Nehelam guy: 25 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo: You wen use yoa name fo sen lettas from Babylon fo all da peopo inside Jerusalem, an fo Zefaniah, Maaseiah da pries guy boy, an all da odda pries guys. Inside dat letta you wen tell Zefaniah, 26 ‘Eh Zefaniah! Da One In Charge wen make you, an not Jehoiada, da pries guy dat stay in charge a da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. Any guy dat ack pupule, you suppose to put dea feets inside da wood shackle an put one iron strap aroun dea neck. 27 So, how come you no shut up Jeremiah da Anatot guy, aah?! Da buggah ack jalike he talk fo God to all you guys! 28 Cuz he wen sen guys Babylon side fo tell us guys ova hea, “You Judah guys goin stay ova dea long time. So you betta build houses an live dea. Plant garden an eat wat you grow!” ’ ”

29 But den, Zefaniah da pries guy read dis letta to Jeremiah, da one dat talk fo God. 30 Da One In Charge give Jeremiah dis message: 31 “Sen one letta fo all da prisona guys inside Babylon, dat dis wat Da One In Charge tell Shemaiah da Nehelam guy: Shemaiah wen ack jalike he stay talk fo me to you guys, no matta I neva sen him. He make you guys trus wat he tell, no matta he bulai you. 32 Dass how come dis wat me, Da One In Charge, tell: I goin punish Shemaiah da Nehelam guy an da peopo dat goin come from him. He no goin get even one guy from his line dat goin live wea dis peopo live. He no goin even see da good kine stuff I goin do fo my peopo, cuz he stay tell da peopo fo bag from me.” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

Jeremiah Buy One Field

1 ✡Dis da message dat Da One In Charge wen give Jeremiah, da year numba ten wen Zedekiah stay da king fo Judah, an da year numba eighteen wen Nebukadnezzar stay king fo Babylon. 2 Az was da time wen da army fo da Babylon king stay all aroun Jerusalem fo nobody go inside o come outside. An Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo God, stay one prisona inside da patio in da middo a da guard guys building fo da Judah king palace.

3 Befo time, Zedekiah da king fo Judah put Jeremiah inside da prison patio ova dea, cuz he tell, “How come you tell you talk fo God, aah?! You tell, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: I goin give dis town to da Babylon king. An he goin come take um ova. 4 But Zedekiah, da Judah king, no goin get away from Babylon guys. Fo shua, da Babylon king goin make him one prisona, an den he goin see da Babylon king an den dey goin talk. 5 Da Babylon king goin take Zedekiah Babylon side, an he goin stay ova dea till I do wat I like do bout him. If you fight da Babylon guys, you no can win ova dem.’ Az wat Da One In Charge tell.”

6 Dat time, Jeremiah tell: “Dis da message Da One In Charge wen give me. He tell: 7 You know Hanamel, yoa uncle Shallum boy? He goin come by you fo tell you, ‘Buy my field Anatot side, cuz you get da right fo buy um fo keep um inside oua ohana, an cuz you mo nea to me den da odda ohana guys. Az why you gotta be da one fo buy um.’

8 “Den, jalike how Da One In Charge wen tell, my cousin Hanamel come by me inside da patio fo da guard guys place. He tell, ‘Buy my field Anatot side, inside da Benjamin ohana land. Cuz you get da right fo buy um an keep um inside da ohana. Buy um fo you.’

“I know dass wat Da One In Charge wen tell, 9 az why I wen buy da Anatot field from my cousin Hanamel. I give him 17 ounce silva. 10 I write my name on top da paypa dat tell dat I own da land, an I roll um up an put my mark on um. Den da guys dat see me write um, dey write dea name on top da outside. I use one scale fo weigh da silva in front erybody too. 11 Den I take da paypa wit my mark on um dat tell I wen buy da land, da way da rule fo wat I gotta do tell, an I take da copy dat no mo mark too. 12 Den I give da paypas dat tell I wen buy da land to Baruk, Neriah boy an Mahseiah grankid. Da odda guys see me do dat too—my cousin Hanamel, da guys dat wen write dea names on da outside a da paypa, an all da odda Judah peopo dat stay sit inside da patio fo da guard guys.

13 “In front all dose peopo I tell Baruk wat he gotta do: 14 ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies an da God fo da Israel peopo, tell you: Take dese paypas dat tell I wen buy da land, da one wit da mark an da odda one dat no mo da mark, an put um inside one clay pot fo dem las long time. 15 Cuz dis wat me, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies an da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: One mo time, peopo can buy houses, fields, an grape farms inside dis land.’ ”

Jeremiah Pray

16 Afta I give da paypas fo da land to Baruk, Neriah boy, I pray to Da One In Charge lidis: 17 “You, Da One In Charge, you da Boss! Fo shua you da One wen make da sky an da world, cuz you strong an you no sked use yoa powa. I know, no mo notting stay too hard fo you fo do. 18 You stay tight wit uku tousan generation a yoa peopo. But wen you pay back peopo fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, even dea kids get hurt too. You da God dat stay awesome an get plenny powa. Da peopo dat know wat kine god you, dey call you Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies. 19 You tell plenny peopo wass good fo dem do, an you stay strong fo do plenny kine stuff. You see an know how all da peopo stay live. You pay erybody fo da way dey live, good o bad, an fo wateva happen from da tings dey do. 20 You wen do awesome stuff fo show da peopo inside da Egypt land yoa powa, an you wen do stuffs ony you can do, an peopo know bout all dat, still yet today. Az how you make plenny peopo know wat kine god you—da Israel peopo an all da odda peopo all ova da world. 21 Wen you wen bring yoa Israel peopo outa Egypt, you wen do all kine awesome stuff fo show da Egypt peopo yoa powa, an do stuffs ony you can do. You use yoa powa, an do awesome an unreal kine stuffs. 22 Den you wen give da peopo dis land. You wen make one strong promise to dea ancesta guys fo give um dis land, wea get plenny milk an honey erytime. 23 Dey come inside hea an take um ova. But dey no lissen wat you tell um, o stick wit da rules you wen teach um. Dey no live how you tell dem fo live. Az why you bring all dis bad kine stuff on top dem.

24 “Look, how da Babylon guys stay pile up dirt awready fo come ova da town wall an capcha Jerusalem town. Cuz a da war, an no mo food, an da bad kine sick, da Babylon guys dat stay fight us guys goin take ova da town. Wat you wen tell stay happen right now, jalike you see! 25 Da One In Charge, you da boss fo me! So, how come you wen tell me ‘Go buy da field wit silva! Make shua da guys see you buy um, an write dea names on top da paypa dat dey see you buy um!’ Same time, da Babylon guys goin take ova da town!”

26 Den anodda message come from Da One In Charge fo me, Jeremiah. He tell dis: 27 “Fo shua, Me, Da One In Charge, da God fo all da peopos inside da world. You tink someting too hard fo me fo do, o wat?! 28 ✡Az why dis wat me, Da One In Charge, tell: I almos ready fo give Jerusalem town to da Babylon guys an Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, fo take um ova. 29 Da Babylon guys dat attack dis town goin come inside an make one big fire. Dey goin burn da town fo shua—da houses fo da peopo dat make me come huhu, cuz dey burn incense on top dea flat roofs fo da god Baal, an dey pour out wine fo make sacrifice dea fo da odda gods.

30 “Fo shua, from da start da Israel peopo an da Judah peopo stay do ony bad kine stuff, da way I see um. Fo shua, da Israel peopo piss me off bout da idol kine gods dey make wit dea hands. 31 From da time da peopo build dis big town till now, da ones dat live inside hea make me come real huhu, cuz dey do stuff dat make me real mad. Az how come I goin throw dem out from in front me. 32 I goin dump da town, cuz a all da bad kine stuff da Israel peopo an da Judah peopo stay do fo make me come huhu—dea king guys, dea govmen guys, dea pries guys, an dea guys dat tell dat dey talk fo me, da Judah guys, an da peopo dat live Jerusalem. 33 Dey turn dea back to me an make jalike dey no give a rip, no matta I wen teach dem ova an ova. Wen I teach dem stuff, dey no lissen fo change wat dey do. 34 ✡Dey put up dea pilau idol kine gods inside da Temple. But dat Temple stay dea fo peopo know wat kine god me. An cuz a dis dey make da place so dat no can go dea fo pray. 35 ✡Dey make sacrifice places fo da god Baal inside da Ben-Hinnom Valley, fo burn up dea boys an girls inside da fire ova dea! Dey do dat fo make sacrifice to da god Molek. I neva tell um fo make lidat, an I neva plan fo dem do dat kine pilau stuff an make da Judah peopo do pilau kine stuff too.

36 “You an yoa frenz stay tell, ‘Fo shua, da Babylon king goin take ova dis town, cuz a da war, an no mo food, an da bad kine sick!’ But me, Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell dis: 37 ‘You know wat?! I wen scatta da Israel peopo all ova da diffren lands cuz I real mad at dem! But fo shua bumbye I goin bring dem back togedda an let dem live ova hea, fo dem no need worry bout notting. 38 Dey goin come my peopo, an I goin come dea God. 39 I goin show dem how fo tink an live da bestes way. Erytime dey goin show me respeck. Dass how eryting goin come good fo dem an da ones dat goin come from dem. 40 I goin make one deal wit dem dat goin las foeva: I still yet goin do good kine stuff fo dem, fo dem show respeck fo me, an dey no goin tell “Laytas” to me. 41 I goin stay real good inside bout dem fo do good kine stuff fo dem. An I stay shua cuz I get plenny love an aloha fo dem, an I goin make dem stan strong inside dis land.’ ”

42 Dis da message from Da One In Charge: “Jalike I wen bring all dis bad kine stuff on top dis peopo, now I da One goin give dem all da good kine stuff I wen promise dem. 43 Peopo goin buy fields inside dis land one mo time, no matta you guys stay tell, ‘Nobody can live ova hea cuz no mo peopo o animals. Da Babylon guys wen take um!’ 44 Peopo goin buy fields an pay wit silva, an get back one paypa dat tell dey own da land. Dey goin put one seal wit dea mark on top da paypa, an dey goin bring peopo dat write down dea name fo show proof dat dey wen buy da land. Dey goin make lidat inside da Benjamin ohana land, an da towns aroun Jerusalem, da Judah towns, an da up country towns inside da hills, an da low hills makai side, an da Negev boonies. All dis goin happen afta I bring um back an dey no stay prisonas no moa. Az wat Da One In Charge tell.”

Da peopo wen bus up dea houses awready an pile up da junks agains da wall, fo make ready fo fight da Babylon army guys wen dey try fo come ova da wall wit swords. 5 But da places wea da houses stay, befo dey bus um down, goin stay full a da mahke bodies a da Jerusalem army guys dat wen try fo fight da Babylon guys. I goin kill da Jerusalem guys hea cuz I stay real huhu. I goin make deaf ear to da peopo inside dis big town, cuz a all da bad kine stuff dey do.

But inside da towns Judah side an da Jerusalem streets dat befo time stay all bus up an no mo peopo o animals ova dea, 11 ✡bumbye peopo goin hear laughing an singing, an peopo dat stay good inside, an wedding parties, an peopo dat bring animals to da Temple Fo Da One In Charge fo make sacrifice dat tell God ‘Mahalo plenny!’ Da peopo dat bring sacrifice animals goin sing lidis:

Cuz Da One In Charge stay good!

He stay tight wit his peopo foeva!’

Cuz I goin give back good kine stuff fo eryting in dis land come jalike was befo time.”

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

God Tell King Zedekiah Fo Watch Out

1 ✡Get anodda message fo Jeremiah from Da One In Charge. Dat time, had Nebukadnezzar da Babylon king, an his army guys outside Jerusalem town. Same time had odda king guys unda him wit dea army guys dat come wit Nebukadnezzar. All dose peopo stay fight da Jerusalem peopo, an da peopo inside all da towns aroun dea. 2 Wen dey stay fight, Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell Jeremiah dis: “Go by Zedekiah, da king fo da Judah peopo, an tell um: ‘Da One In Charge tell: I stay ready fo let da Babylon king take ova Jerusalem. He goin burn um up! 3 An you, Zedekiah, you no goin run away from Nebukadnezzar. His guys goin catch you an bring you by him. Dey goin bring you in front da Babylon king an you goin talk wit him. Den you goin go Babylon side.

4 “ ‘But Zedekiah, lissen wat me, Da One In Charge, promise. You da king fo da Judah peopo. Dis wat me, Da One In Charge, tell bout you. Nobody goin kill you wit dea sword. 5 You goin mahke wen you ready fo mahke. Jalike da peopo make one big fire fo show respeck fo da king guys dat was yoa ancestas befo time wen dey mahke, da peopo goin do da same ting wen you mahke. Dey goin cry plenny an tell: Pooa ting, oua boss! So dass da promise dat me, Da One In Charge, make fo you.’ ”

6 Jeremiah tell all dis to Zedekiah, da king fo da Judah peopo, inside Jerusalem. 7 He tell Zedekiah all dat, same time Nebukadnezzar, da Babylon king, an his army guys stay fight Jerusalem an da odda big towns inside Judah. Ony Lakish an Azekah, da Judah towns dat get strong wall, still stay stan, an Nebukadnezzar no win ova dem yet.

Dey Let Go Da Slave Guys,
But Dey Take Um Back

8 King Zedekiah wen make one deal wit all da peopo inside Jerusalem, dat dey goin let go dea slave guys. Jeremiah get one message from Da One In Charge afta dat fo him. 9 Da king an da peopo tell, erybody gotta let go dea Jew slave guys an wahines. Nobody can get Jew slave guys no moa. 10 So all da leada guys an da peopo dat make dis deal tell dat dey goin let dea slave guys go, an no make um work fo dem no moa. So dey let um go. 11 But afta dat, dey change dea mind an take back da slave guys an make um work fo dem one mo time.

12 Den get anodda message from Da One In Charge fo Jeremiah: 13 “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Me, I wen make one deal wit yoa ancesta guys, da time dey was slaves wen I bring um outa Egypt. I tell um: 14 ✡‘Ery seven year, all you guys dat get Jew slaves dat you wen buy, you gotta let um go afta dey work fo you fo six year.’ But yoa ancesta guys, dey no lissen me, dey ony make deaf ear. 15 Den, you guys come sorry, an do wat stay right da way I see um. You guys wen let go yoa Jew slave guys. You even go in front me an make one deal wit me inside da Temple dat show peopo wat kine god me. 16 But now, you guys turn aroun an make my name pilau. You guys take back da slave guys an wahines dat you wen let go. You make dem come slaves fo you one mo time.

17 “Az why dis wat Da One In Charge tell: ‘You guys no lissen me. You guys neva let yoa braddahs da Jew slave guys go fo real kine. So now, me Da One In Charge, I goin let you guys go too—so you goin mahke from war, from da bad kine sick, an from no mo food. I goin make all da countries all ova da world an dea kings come bum out wen dey tink bout you guys. 18 Da guys dat broke da deal I wen make, an no do eryting dey tell me dat dey goin do. I goin make to dem jalike dey make to da bebe cow dat dey cut in half, an den walk thru da middo a da pieces, fo make one deal good. I goin do da same ting to dem. 19 Da leada guys inside Judah an Jerusalem, da govmen guys, da pries guys, an all da peopo inside da land, dey wen walk thru da middo a da pieces from da bebe cow fo da sacrifice fo make da deal. 20 But I goin give dose leada guys to da guys dat stay agains dem an like kill dem. Dea mahke bodies goin come food fo da birds inside da sky an da wild animals on top da earth.

21 “ ‘But Zedekiah, da king fo Judah, an his leada guys, I goin give dem to da guys dat stay agains dem an like kill um. Dass da Babylon king an his army guys, no matta dey no stay roun hea right now. 22 I tell dem right now fo come back Jerusalem town. Dey goin fight um an burn um up. I goin wase da towns Judah side fo no mo nobody live ova dea.’ ” Dass wat Da One In Charge tell.

35

Da Rekab Ohana

1 ✡Wen Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, stay da Judah king, dis one message Jeremiah get from Da One In Charge: 2 “Go by da Rekab ohana guys. Tell um fo come inside one a da side rooms inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. Wen dey come inside, give um wine fo drink.”

3 So I go get Jaazaniah (his faddah anodda Jeremiah boy dass Habazziniah grankid), fo bring him an his braddahs an all his boys—dis da whole Rekab ohana. 4 I bring dem inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, inside da room dat Hanan guys use. Hanan, Igdaliah boy, he one guy dat stay tight wit God. Dat room stay nex to da room fo da guys in charge a da Temple, an upstairs from da room fo Maaseiah, Shallum boy, da security guard guy. 5 Den I put pitchas full a wine an cups in front da guys from da Rekab ohana, an tell um, “Go drink wine.”

6 But dey tell, “Us guys no drink wine, cuz oua ancesta guy Jonadab, Rekab boy, wen tell us guys, ‘No mo nobody from you guys o yoa kids can drink wine. 7 Same ting fo houses—you guys no can build um, o throw seed, o plant grape plants, o own grape farms. But you guys an yoa kids goin live inside tents till you mahke. Az how you guys goin live long time inside da land. You guys goin live dea but you no goin own da land.’ 8 Us guys wen lissen eryting oua ancesta guy Jonadab, Rekab boy, tell us fo do. No mo nobody from us guys, oua wifes, oua boys, o oua girls, eva drink wine. 9 We no build house an live inside um, o plant grape farms, o fields, o throw seed fo food. 10 We ony live inside tents, an do eryting oua ancesta guy Jonadab tell us fo do. 11 But wen Nebukadnezzar da Babylon king come fo attack dis land, we tell each odda, ‘Go come, fo us go inside Jerusalem fo run away from da Babylon an Aram army guys.’ Az why us guys stay inside Jerusalem now.”

12 Den get anodda message from Da One In Charge fo Jeremiah: 13 “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Go tell da Judah guys an da peopo dat live inside Jerusalem, ‘Eh! You guys like learn someting, o wat?! You can learn how fo lissen wat I tell you fo do! 14 Long time befo time, Jonadab, Rekab boy, wen tell his boys fo no drink wine. Dey no drink even today, cuz dey wen lissen wat dea ancesta guy tell dem fo do. But me, I tell you guys ova an ova, an still yet you guys no lissen. 15 Plenny times, I tell all my worka guys dat talk fo me fo go by you guys. Dey tell you: All you guys, one by one, no do da bad kine stuff you guys stay do no moa. You gotta start fo do wass right. No follow da odda gods an work fo dem. Den fo shua you guys can come back fo live on top da land I wen give you guys an yoa ancesta guys. But you guys still no use yoa ears fo lissen me. 16 Da guys dat come from Rekab boy Jonadab, dey lissen wat Jonadab tell um fo do. But dese peopo no lissen me.’

17 “Az why me, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies an da God fo da Israel peopo, tell dis: ‘Lissen up! I goin make bad tings happen to da Judah peopo an all da peopo dat live inside Jerusalem.

Jehoiakim Burn Up Da Messages
God Give Jeremiah

1 ✡Da year numba four wen Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, stay king fo da Judah peopo, Da One In Charge tell Jeremiah dis: 2 “Go get papyrus kine paypa fo make one roll up kine book. Write on top um all da messages I wen give you bout wat goin happen to Israel, Judah, an da odda peopos. Start from da time wen Josiah stay king an wen me start fo talk to you da firs time, till now. 3 Maybe, wen da Judah peopo hear bout all da horraz I plan fo make happen to dem, dey still get chance, all dem guys can tell dey sorry cuz dey wen do bad kine stuff. If fo shua dey sorry, I goin let dem go, an hemo da blame fo all da bad kine stuff dey wen do.”

4 So Jeremiah tell Neriah boy Baruk fo come by him. Jeremiah tell Baruk eryting Da One In Charge wen tell him. Baruk write um all on top da papyrus kine paypa. 5 Den Jeremiah tell Baruk wat he gotta do. He tell, “I gotta stay hea. Da king no let me go inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 6 So da nex time da peopo come togedda inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, fo skip food wen dey pray, you go dea. You go read from da book to da peopo da tings Da One In Charge wen tell me, dat I wen tell you fo write. Make shua you read um fo all da Judah peopo, even da ones dat come hea from dea small towns. 7 Da One In Charge tell awready, he stay real huhu wit dis peopo an tell ‘Laytas’ to wat dey do. But dey get chance. Dey go in front Da One In Charge, an beg him fo make good to dem. An get chance too, dat all dem no goin do bad kine stuff no moa!”

8 Baruk, Neriah boy, do eryting dat Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge, tell him fo do. Inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, he read wat Da One In Charge tell from da roll up papyrus kine paypa.

9 Was da year numba five, month numba nine, wen Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, stay king fo da Judah peopo. Had one time fo no eat so da peopo can pray in front Da One In Charge an beg him fo help dem. Dey make dat time fo all da Jerusalem peopo, an da peopo dat come inside Jerusalem from da Judah towns. 10 Baruk, he stan on top da lanai fo da Temple room wea Gemariah work. (Gemariah faddah Shafan was da govmen secretary befo time.) Dat room stay inside da mauka open lanai fo da Temple nea da door fo da New Gate fo da Temple. Baruk read da roll up papyrus kine paypa dat Jeremiah wen tell um fo write, fo all da peopo inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge hear um.

11 Mikaiah, Gemariah boy an Shafan grankid, hear eryting Da One In Charge tell from da roll up papyrus kine paypa. 12 He go down da king palace, an go inside da govmen secretary office. All da leada guys stay dea: Elishama da govmen secretary, Delaiah Shemaiah boy, Elnatan Akor boy, Gemariah Shafan boy, Zedekiah Hananiah boy, an all da odda leada guys. 13 Mikaiah tell dem eryting he wen hear Baruk read to da peopo from da roll up papyrus kine paypa. 14 Den all da leada guys sen Jehudi, Netaniah boy, Shelemiah grankid, Cushi great-grankid, fo tell Baruk, “Go bring da roll up papyrus kine paypa dat you wen read an come by us guys.” So Baruk go by dem, wit da roll up papyrus kine paypa inside his hand. 15 Dey tell him, “Sit down, read um to us.”

So Baruk read um to dem. 16 Wen dey hear all dat stay write dea, dey look at each odda, an dey come sked an shaking. Dey tell Baruk, “Us guys gotta tell da king all dis stuff!” 17 Den dey aks Baruk, “Try tell us how come you wen write all dis stuff. Jeremiah tell you fo write um, o wat?”

18 Baruk tell dem, “Az right, he tell me all dis stuff. An me, I write um wit ink on top dis roll up kine book.”

19 Den da leada guys tell Baruk, “You an Jeremiah betta go hide! No let nobody know wea you guys stay.”

20 Firs ting, dey put da roll up kine book inside da room wea Elishama da secretary work fo make shua nobody grab um. Den dey go by da king inside da patio in da middo a da palace an tell um eryting. 21 Den da king sen Jehudi fo get da roll up kine book. Jehudi bring um from da room wea Elishama da secretary work. Den he read um to da king an all da leada guys dat stay stan by him. 22 Was winta time, az why da king stay sit inside da room wea he work winta time. Had one fire stay burning inside one pot in front him. 23 Wen Jehudi pau read three o four page from da roll up book, da king cut um off wit one small knife an throw um inside da fire pot, till he burn up da whole book inside da fire. 24 Wen da king an all his helpa guys hear wat da book tell, dey no come sked. Dey no even rip dea clotheses fo show dey stay bum out. 25 No matta Elnatan, Delaiah, an Gemariah try fo stop da king so he no burn up da roll up book, he make deaf ear. 26 Den da king tell Jerahmeel, one prince from da king ohana, Seraiah, Azriel boy, an Shelemiah, Abdeel boy, fo go arres Baruk da writa guy, an Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo God. But Da One In Charge wen hide dem.

27 Afta da king burn da roll up kine book dat get wat Baruk wen write down from wat Jeremiah tell him, had anodda message from Da One In Charge fo Jeremiah: 28 “Take anodda roll up kine book an write inside um eryting dat was inside da firs book, da one dat Jehoiakim da king wen burn up. 29 An tell Jehoiakim, da king fo da Judah peopo: ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: You wen burn dat roll up kine book. An you wen tell, “How come you wen write dat fo shua, da Babylon king goin come an wipe out dis land an kill da peopo an da animals inside um?!” 30 Az why me, Da One In Charge, tell dis bout Jehoiakim, da king fo Judah: He no goin get nobody from his blood line fo sit on top David throne. Da peopo goin throw out his mahke body, an da body goin stay in da hot sun an in da cold, nite time. 31 I goin punish him, an his peopo dat come from him, an his helpa guys, cuz a da bad kine stuff dey do. I goin make happen to dem an to da peopo inside Jerusalem an Judah, all da bad kine stuff I tell goin happen to dem, cuz dey all make deaf ear.’ ”

32 So Jeremiah take anodda roll up kine book, an give um to da writa guy Baruk, Neriah boy. Jeremiah tell him wat fo write. Baruk write inside um, eryting da firs book wen tell, da one dat Jehoiakim da king fo Judah wen burn inside da fire. An he write plenny mo odda stuff too.

1 ✡King Nebukadnezzar from Babylon wen make Zedekiah, Josiah boy, king fo Judah. Zedekiah stay king, an not Koniah, Jehoiakim boy. 2 But Zedekiah, an his helpa guys, an da peopo inside da land, dey still no lissen wat Da One In Charge tell Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo God.

3 Still yet, Zedekiah wen sen Jehucal, Shelemiah boy, an da pries guy Zefaniah, Maaseiah boy, by Jeremiah fo tell um: “Pray to oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, fo help us guys!”

4 Dat time, Jeremiah still hang out wit da peopo, cuz dey still no put um inside da prison yet. 5 Da army fo da Egypt king, da Pharaoh guy, wen come outa Egypt. Wen da Babylon army guys dat stay all aroun Jerusalem town hear bout da Egypt guys, dey leave Jerusalem.

6 Den get anodda message from Da One In Charge fo Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo him: 7 “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Da Judah king wen sen you guys by me fo me find out wass goin happen. Tell um dis: ‘You know wat?! Pharaoh army guys, dat wen come outa Egypt fo help you guys, dey goin go back dea land, Egypt side! 8 Den da Babylon guys goin come back attack dis town.

9 “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: No make jalike you shua, an tink ‘Fo shua, da Babylon guys goin go way from us.’ Dis time, dey no goin leave you guys, dey goin attack! 10 Wen dey do dat, no goin matta you guys bus up all da Babylon army guys dat stay attack you guys! No goin matta da ony Babylon guys dat still stay alive stay hurt inside dea tents! Fo shua, even jus da ones dat stay hurt, still yet dey goin come aroun dis town an burn um up. You guys no can win, you know!”

11 Odda tings wen happen dat time too. Da Babylon army guys go way from Jerusalem cuz dey find out da Pharaoh army guys stay come from Egypt fo fight dem. 12 Dat time, Jeremiah start fo go outa Jerusalem town fo go da Benjamin ohana land, fo get his share a da ohana land jalike his odda relatives ova dea. 13 But wen he come by da Gate Fo Go Da Benjamin Land, da guy in charge a da security guard guys, his name Irijah, Shelemiah boy an Hananiah grankid, arres Jeremiah. He tell, “You like go ova da Babylon army guys side, aah?!”

14 Jeremiah tell, “Az not true! I no goin go ova da Babylon army guys side!” But Irijah no lissen him. He bus Jeremiah an take him by da king helpa guys. 15 Dey mad wit Jeremiah, an tell dea guys fo bus him up. Den dey put um inside da prison inside da secretary Jonathan house, cuz dey wen make dat house come one prison.

16 Dey put Jeremiah inside one jail cell inside one big hole unda da groun ova dea an he stay dea long time. 17 Den King Zedekiah tell his guys fo bring Jeremiah by da palace, but bring um secret kine so nobody know he dea. Zedekiah aks Jeremiah, “You get one message from Da One In Charge, o wat?”

Jeremiah tell, “Shua, get! Da One In Charge goin make da Babylon king catch you.”

18 Den Jeremiah aks King Zedekiah, “Wat bad ting I wen do agains you o yoa palace guys, o agains dis Jerusalem peopo? How come you guys wen put me inside da prison? 19 An wea yoa guys stay dat tell dey talk fo God? Dey tell you, ‘Da Babylon king no goin make war agains you guys o agains dis land!’ 20 You da king, an you my boss, so try lissen! Try do dis good ting fo me?! No sen me back Jonathan house, da secretary guy, o I goin mahke ova dea!”

21 Den King Zedekiah tell his guys fo put Jeremiah inside da palace open lanai wea get security guard guys. He tell um fo give Jeremiah one roun bread from da street wea da baker guys make bread, ery day till all da bread inside Jerusalem all gone. Dass how Jeremiah stay inside da open lanai dat get security guard guys.

Dey Throw Jeremiah Inside One Hole

1 Shefatiah, Mattan boy, Gedaliah, Pash-Hur boy, Jehucal, Shelemiah boy, an da odda Pash-Hur, Malkijah boy, dey hear wat Jeremiah stay tell all da peopo. Jeremiah tell: 2 “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: ‘Whoeva stay inside dis town goin mahke cuz a da war, cuz no mo food, o cuz a da real bad kine sick. But whoeva go outside Jerusalem town by da Babylon guys, dis wat goin happen: dey goin stay alive!’ 3 Da One In Charge tell dis too: ‘Fo shua Da One In Charge goin give dis town to da army guys fo da Babylon king, an he goin take um ova.’ ”

4 Den da leada guys tell da king: “You gotta kill dis Jeremiah guy! He make oua army guys dat still stay inside dis town lose fight, an same ting fo all da odda peopo, cuz a wat he tell dem. He no give a rip fo make good kine stuff happen to da Jerusalem peopo. He ony like bad kine stuff happen.”

5 King Zedekiah tell dem, “Do wateva you like to him. I da king, but I no can do notting fo stop you guys fo wateva you like do.”

6 So dey take Jeremiah an put him down inside one big hole fo keep watta. Malkijah, da king boy, own da hole, dat stay inside da open lanai wea get da security guards. Dey put Jeremiah down inside da hole wit ropes. But dat big hole, no mo watta inside um dat time. Ony get mud, an Jeremiah sink down inside da mud.

7 But Ebed-Melek, from Sudan, one a da king palace guys, hear dat dey wen put Jeremiah inside da big hole fo watta. Da king stay sit by da Benjamin Gate dat time. 8 So Ebed-Melek go outside da palace, an tell da king, 9 “Eh, you my king an you da boss! Dese guys wen do one real bad ting to Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge! Dey wen put him down inside one big hole fo watta. He goin mahke down dea cuz no mo notting fo eat. Right now, no mo bread inside Jerusalem town, you know.”

10 Den da king tell Ebed-Melek, da Sudan guy, “Take thirty guys from hea wit you, an go pull up Jeremiah from da big hole fo store watta befo he mahke.”

11 So Ebed-Melek take da guys wit him, an go by one room inside da palace, undaneat da room wea dey stash da rich kine stuffs. He take some boros kine clotheses from dea, an let dem down wit ropes inside da big hole fo Jeremiah. 12 Ebed-Melek tell Jeremiah, “Put dese boros kine clotheses unda yoa arms so da rope no goin hurt you.” So Jeremiah do dat. 13 Den dey pull um up wit da rope, an take him outa da big hole. From den, Jeremiah stay inside da palace open lanai wea get security guards.

King Zedekiah Aks Jeremiah
One Question One Mo Time

14 Den King Zedekiah sen guys one mo time fo bring Jeremiah da guy dat talk fo God, by him. He tell his guys fo bring him by da numba three gate fo da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. Da king tell Jeremiah: “I goin aks you someting. No hide notting from me.”

15 Jeremiah tell Zedekiah, “If I tell you dis, fo shua you goin tell yoa guys fo kill me. No matta I tell you wat fo do, you no goin lissen me.”

16 But da king make one secret kine strong promise to Jeremiah. He tell: “Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, an he da One make us guys stay alive too, same ting I stay shua I make dis strong promise: I no goin kill you o give you to da guys dat like kill you.”

17 Den Jeremiah tell Zedekiah, “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo: ‘If you give up to da officer guys fo da Babylon king, den you goin stay alive, an dey no goin burn down dis town. You an yoa ohana guys goin stay alive. 18 But if you no goin give up to da officer guys fo da Babylon king, den dis town goin go to da Babylon guys, an dey goin burn um down. An no ways you goin get away from dem!’ ”

19 King Zedekiah tell Jeremiah, “I sked a da Judah guys dat wen go ova da Babylon guys side. Cuz maybe da Babylon guys goin turn me ova to dose Judah guys, an dey goin make any kine to me.”

20 Jeremiah tell him, “Dey no goin turn you ova to da Judah guys. Lissen to Da One In Charge, an do wat I tell you fo do. Den eryting goin go good fo you, an you goin stay alive. 21 But if you no give up, dis wat Da One In Charge wen show me jalike in one dream: 22 Da Babylon army guys goin bring outside all da wahines dat still stay alive inside da Judah king palace. Dey goin give um to da leada guys fo da Babylon king. Dose same wahines goin tell you:

“ ‘Ahana kokolele!

Yoa frenz dat you tink was tight wit you,

Dey wen bulai you an make you follow dem!

But den, yoa frenz wen bag from you,

Jalike yoa feets stay stuck inside da mud awready!’

23 “Da Babylon guys goin take away all yoa wifes an kids. Dea king goin tell his guys fo capcha you. Az why you no can run away from dem. An dey goin burn down dis town.”

24 Den Zedekiah tell Jeremiah, “No let nobody know wat we tell each odda so you no mahke. 25 If da leada guys hear I wen talk wit you, dey goin come by you an tell, ‘Tell us wat you wen tell da king, an wat da king tell you. No hide notting from us o we goin kill you.’ 26 Den you goin tell dem, ‘I stay beg da king fo no sen me back Jonathan house, wea get da big hole fo mahke ova dea.’ ”

27 An fo shua, all da leada guys come by Jeremiah fo aks him wat he wen tell da king. An he tell dem eryting da king wen tell him fo tell. So dey neva aks him bout odda stuff, cuz neva have anodda guy wen hear wat him an da king wen talk bout.

28 ✡So Jeremiah stay inside da patio in da middo a da guard guys building, till da time wen da Babylon guys take ova Jerusalem.

39

Da Babylon Guys Take Ova Jerusalem

(2 Kings 25:1-12; Jeremiah 52:4-16)

1 Dis how da Babylon guys take ova Jerusalem. Was da year numba nine, da month numba ten, wen Zedekiah stay king fo Judah. Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, come back Jerusalem side wit all his army guys. He put his army guys all aroun da town fo nobody go outside o come inside. 2 Laytas, da year numba eleven, da month numba four, da day numba nine, wen Zedekiah stay king, da Babylon army guys broke down da wall fo Jerusalem town. 3 Den all da leada guys fo da Babylon king come inside dea. Dey put dea headquarters by da Middo Gate. Had Nergal-Sharezar from Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim, one a da main govmen guys, da odda Nergal-Sharezer, one importan leada, an all da odda officer guys fo da Babylon king. 4 Wen Zedekiah, da Judah king, an all his army guys see dem, dey run away. Dey sneak out from Jerusalem town nite time thru da king garden, thru one gate in da middo a two walls, an go da road to da Jordan Riva valley.

5 But da Babylon army guys chase dem, an catch up wit Zedekiah on top da flat land da odda side a Jericho. Dey make him dea prisona, an take him by Nebukadnezzar da Babylon king. Nebukadnezzar stay nea Riblah town, inside da Hamat land. Dass wea Nebukadnezzar tell Zedekiah how he goin punish him. 6 Ova dea Riblah side, da Babylon king tell his army guys kill Zedekiah boys in front Zedekiah. Da Babylon guys kill all da alii guys from Judah too. 7 Den Nebukadnezzar tell dem fo poke out Zedekiah eyes, an tie um up wit bronze shackles fo take him Babylon side.

8 Jerusalem side, da Babylon guys burn down da king palace, an da peopo houses, an broke down da town wall. 9 Da main officer dea stay in charge a da Babylon army guys dat kill da prisonas dat gotta mahke. His name Nebuzaradan. He take da odda peopo dat stay still inside Jerusalem, an make dem prisonas. He bring dem, an all da res a da peopo, Babylon side—dass da peopo dat wen go ova by da Babylon guys side too. 10 But Nebuzaradan let some a da Judah peopo dat no mo notting stay dea inside da Judah land, an he give dem grape fields an odda fields dey can plow, dat time.

11 Befo time, Nebukadnezzar da Babylon king wen tell Nebuzaradan, da officer in charge a da Babylon army guys, wat fo tell da army guys bout Jeremiah. He tell: 12 “Take him an take good kea him. No hurt him, but do fo him wateva he tell wat he like you fo do.” 13 So Nebuzaradan, da main officer in charge a da guards, Nebushazban one a da main govmen guys, Nergal-Sharezer one importan leada, an all da odda officer guys fo da Babylon king, 14 dey sen guys fo take Jeremiah out from da palace open lanai wea da Israel security guard guys stay. Dey turn him ova to Gedaliah, Ahikam boy an Shefan grankid fo take Jeremiah back Jeremiah house. So Jeremiah stay wit his peopo.

15 Befo time, wen Jeremiah still stay prisona inside da palace open lanai wea da security guard guys stay, he get dis message from Da One In Charge: 16 “Go tell Ebed-Melek da Sudan guy, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: I almos ready fo make real bad kine stuff happen to dis town Jerusalem, jalike I wen tell I goin do. Dis no goin be good fo nobody! Wen I do dis, you goin see um happen right in front you. 17 But me, Da One In Charge, I tell dis: Wen dat happen, fo shua I goin get you outa dea! I no goin turn you ova to da guys dat you stay sked of. 18 Fo shua, I goin get you outa dea. You no goin mahke from da war. Da prize you goin get from da war, goin be dis—you goin stay alive cuz you trus me!’ Az wat Da One In Charge tell.”

40

Da Babylon Guys Let Jeremiah Go

1 Dis anodda message dat Jeremiah get from Da One In Charge. Da main officer in charge a da Babylon army guys dat kill da prisonas dat gotta mahke, his name Nebuzaradan. He wen spock Jeremiah wit his wris chain togedda. So he pull um out from da odda prisona guys from Jerusalem an Judah dat da Babylon guys stay take Babylon side. Wen dey come Ramah town, Nebuzaradan let Jeremiah go. 2 Wen Nebuzaradan find Jeremiah wit da odda prisona guys, he pull um on da side an tell um, “Was yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen tell dat dis bad kine stuff goin happen to dis place, aah? 3 So now Da One In Charge stay do eryting jalike how he wen tell he goin do. All dis stuff happen cuz you guys do bad kine stuff agains Da One In Charge, an you neva lissen him. 4 But now, Jeremiah, dis wat I goin do: I goin hemo da chains from yoa wris an let you go today. If you figga az good fo you fo come wit me Babylon side, den come, an I goin take kea you. But if you figga az one bad idea fo come wit me, den az all right too. Try look! You can spock da whole Judah land in front you. Wateva place look good, an look jalike da right place fo you go, go dea!”

5 Jeremiah still neva move fo go back Judah side. So Nebuzaradan tell, “Go back by Gedaliah, Ahikam boy an Shafan grankid. Da Babylon king wen pick him fo stay in charge a da towns Judah side. Stay wit him wea da odda peopo live, o go wea eva you like.”

Den Nebuzaradan give Jeremiah some food, an one present, an he let um go. 6 So Jeremiah go by Gedaliah, Ahikam boy, Mizpah side, an stay dea wit Gedaliah, wea da odda peopo stay dat still stay live inside da land.

Some Guys Like Kill Gedaliah

(2 Kings 25:22-26)

7 ✡Afta da Babylon king wen pick Gedaliah, Ahikam boy, fo stay in charge a da land, Gedaliah ony stay in charge a da guys dat no mo notting, an da wahines an da young kids an da ol peopo, cuz dey no stay prisonas fo go Babylon side. Wen da Israel officer guys an dea army guys dat still stay in da country side hear dat, 8 da army guys go by Gedaliah Mizpah side. Da officer guys was Ishmael, Netaniah boy, Johanan an Jonathan, Kareah boys, Seraiah Tankumet boy, Efay boys from Netofah, an Jezaniah, dat get one guy from Maakat fo dea faddah. Dea guys come wit um too. 9 Gedaliah, Ahikam boy an Shefan grankid, make one spesho promise fo all da army guys, fo make shua dat dey an dea guys know dis: “No worry! No sked fo work fo da Babylon guys. Stay hea inside da land, an work fo da Babylon king, an eryting goin come good fo you guys. 10 Me, I goin stay Mizpah side fo me talk fo you guys in front da Babylon guys dat come by us. You guys goin harves da grapes, make da wine, harves da summa fruits, make da olive oil an put um inside yoa jars fo stash um, an live inside da towns you wen take ova.”

Dey come back an dey harves plenny grape an summa fruit.

15 Den Johanan, Kareah boy, talk to Gedaliah secret kine inside Mizpah town, an tell, “Let me go kill Ishmael, Netaniah boy, an no mo nobody goin know bout dis. No good fo him kill you. Cuz den, all da Judah guys dat wen come togedda by you, goin run away all ova da place, an no good da peopo dat still stay inside Judah come wipe out!”

16 But Gedaliah tell Johanan, “No go do dat! Az not true, wat you tell bout Ishmael!”

41

1 ✡Da month numba seven, Ishmael, Netaniah boy an Elishama grankid, come Mizpah side. He come from da king ohana, an befo time he was one officer fo da king. He come by Gedaliah, Ahikam boy, wit ten a his guys. Wen dey stay eat togedda ova dea, 2 Ishmael an his ten guys get up an jump Gedaliah wit dea swords an kill um. Gedaliah, you know, he da guy dat da Babylon king wen pick fo stay in charge a da land. 3 Ishmael dem kill all da odda Judah guys too dat stay wit Gedaliah Mizpah side, an da Babylon army guys dat stay dea too.

4 Da day afta dey kill Gedaliah, an befo odda peopo know bout dis, 5 had eighty guys dat wen shave off dea beards, rip dea clotheses, an cut dea body fo show dey stay sad inside. Dey come from Shekem, Shiloh, an Samaria. Dey bring wheat, barley, an incense fo make sacrifice inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 6 Ishmael, Netaniah boy, go out from Mizpah fo meet dem, an he stay cry wen he go. Wen he meet dem, he tell: “Go come by Gedaliah, Ahikam boy.” 7 Wen dey go inside da town, Ishmael, Netaniah boy, an da guys dat stay wit him, start fo kill dem an throw dem inside one big hole fo keep watta. 8 But ten a da guys tell, “No kill us! Us guys get wheat an barley, oil an honey, dat stay stash inside one field, an dat worth plenny, you know! Ony us know wea we stash um!” So Ishmael guys let um go an no kill dem wit da oddas. 9 Dat hole wea dey throw all da mahke bodies a da guys Ishmael dem wen kill, an Gedaliah body too, az da same deep hole dat King Asa from Judah wen dig fo his peopo. He use da hole fo get watta wen dey fight King Baasha from Israel. Dass da hole dat Ishmael, Netaniah boy, fill up wit all da mahke bodies.

10 Ishmael catch all da odda peopo inside Mizpah, an make dem prisonas: da king girls, an all da odda peopo dat stay dea too. Nebuzaradan, da main officer fo guys dat guard da Babylon king, wen pick Gedaliah, Ahikam boy, fo stay in charge a dem. But Ishmael, Netaniah boy, wen make all da odda peopo dea come his prisonas an start fo take dem da odda side a da Jordan Riva, to da Ammon ohana land.

11 Johanan, Kareah boy, an all da army officers dat stay wit him, hear bout all da bad kine stuff dat Ishmael, Netaniah boy, stay do. 12 Dey take all dea guys, an go fo fight Ishmael, Netaniah boy. Dey catch um up nea da big pool Gibeon side. 13 Wen all da prisona guys dat Ishmael take wit him see Johanan an all da army guys wit him, dey come real happy. 14 All da peopo Ishmael make his prisonas Mizpah side, dey turn aroun an go by Johanan, Kareah boy. 15 But Ishmael an eight a his guys get away, an go by da Ammon peopo.

Da Judah Guys Run Away Egypt Side

16 Den Johanan, Kareah boy, an all da army officers dat stay wit him take all da Mizpah peopo dat still stay alive—da ones he wen rescue from Ishmael, Netaniah boy, afta Ishmael wen kill Gedaliah. Had da army guys, da wahines, da kids an ol peopo, an da palace guys dat he wen bring back from Gibeon. 17 An dey go way from dea. Dey stop at Gerut-Kimham nea Betlehem. Den dey go way from dea an go Egypt side 18 fo get away from da Babylon guys. Dey sked a da Babylon guys, cuz Ishmael wen kill Gedaliah, Ahikam boy, da guy da Babylon king wen pick fo stay in charge a da land.

Befo time, we wen come plenny peopo, but dass not how stay now. 3 We like fo yoa God, Da One In Charge, tell us wea us guys gotta go, an wat kine stuff we gotta do.”

Dis wat he tell: 10 ‘If you guys stay hea inside dis land, I goin build you guys up. I no goin bus you guys up. I goin make you guys come solid jalike one tree in da groun. I no goin pull you guys out cuz I get pity fo you guys fo da bad kine stuff I wen make happen to you guys. 11 No sked a da Babylon king, no matta you guys stay sked a him now.

Cuz a dat, da Babylon king goin show pity fo you guys, an bring you guys back inside yoa land.’

13 “But if you guys no lissen me, yoa God, Da One In Charge, an if you tink lidis: ‘No ways us guys goin stay inside dis land!’ 14 den maybe you guys tink: ‘Mo betta we go live inside Egypt! Cuz ova dea no mo war! No goin hear da war trumpets, an no goin stay wit no mo food.’ 15 If dass how you guys figga, den lissen wat me Da One In Charge tell you Judah peopo dat still stay hea. Me, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, dis wat I tell: If az true wat you guys figga, an you still stay hard head an like go Egypt fo stay ova dea, 16 cuz you guys stay sked a da Babylon army guys wit swords, you know wat?!

No mo nobody goin stay alive an run away from da real bad kine stuff I goin make happen to dem.

18 “Cuz dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘Jalike I come huhu an tell “Laytas” to wat da peopo dat wen stay inside Jerusalem do, same ting az how I tell “Laytas” to wat you guys goin do wen you go Egypt side. Peopo goin sing sad songs an cry loud kine bout you guys. Dey goin tink az skery wat happen to you. Dey goin like put kahuna on top you guys, an poin finga you guys an laugh at you. An you guys no goin see dis land no moa.’

19 “You Judah guys dat still stay hea, Da One In Charge wen tell you guys awready, ‘No go Egypt side!’ You guys gotta know fo shua right now, dat I wen tell you fo watch out awready. 20 Cuz you guys wen make how you tink come all hamajang, da time you guys come by me an tell me fo go by yoa God, Da One In Charge, an tell, ‘Pray fo us guys to oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us.

Den, dey goin kill us guys, o dey goin make us prisonas an take us Babylon side.”

Jalike one sheep guy pick da ukus outa his clotheses, Nebukadnezzar goin pick out eryting he like outa da whole Egypt land! Den he goin get outa dea, an nobody goin hurt him. 13 Ova dea inside da temple fo da sun god in da Egypt land, Da One In Charge goin bus up da big stones dat stay kapu fo dem, da stones dey wen set up fo poses fo dem pray in front dem. He goin burn down da temples fo da Egypt gods.’ ”

1 Dis wat Da One In Charge tell Jeremiah, bout all da Jew guys dat live inside da Egypt land. Dey live Migdol, Tahpanhes, an Memphis towns, an from dea, up da Nile Riva valley. 2 Jeremiah tell: “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo tell: ‘You guys wen see all da bad kine stuff I make happen to Jerusalem an all da Judah towns. Now dey stay all bus up, an no mo nobody live ova dea! 3 Az cuz da peopo ova dea wen do real bad kine stuff. Dey make me come real huhu wen dey burn incense an do any kine stuff fo da idol kine gods. Dem guys an you guys an yoa ancesta guys, dey neva know dose gods befo time. 4 Ova an ova, I wen sen you guys all my worka guys dat talk fo me.

Ova an ova dey stay burn incense fo da odda kine gods. 6 Az why I come real huhu agains da peopo inside da Judah towns an on top da Jerusalem streets. Cuz I wen get mad, da towns stay all bus up an no mo peopo dea now.’

7 “An now, dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘How come you guys stay do all dis real bad kine stuff? You da ones get hurt cuz a dat. You guys cut off erybody from da Judah land, da guys, da wahines, da kids, an da small bebes. An cuz a dat, no mo nobody from yoa peopo alive ova dea. 8 How come you guys make me come real huhu wit yoa idol kine gods dat you guys make wit yoa hands, aah?

You guys no show respeck fo me. You no follow my rules, an all da stuff I wen tell you guys an yoa ancesta guys dat you gotta do.

11 “ ‘Az why me, Da One In Charge, I go tell you dis. I da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo. Dis me, an fo shua, I goin make bad kine stuff happen to you guys, an I goin wipe out all you Judah peopo. 12 I goin take away all da Judah peopo dat stay alive still yet, dat get hard head an go Egypt side fo live ova dea. Dey all goin come wipe out Egypt side cuz a da war, o dey goin come wipe out cuz no mo food. No matta dey importan o not importan, dey goin mahke cuz a da war o cuz no mo food. Dey all goin come wipe out. Odda peopo goin come sked cuz a wat happen to dem, an goin like put kahuna on top dem, an da odda peopo goin poin finga dem fo all da bad stuff dey wen do. 13 I goin punish dose Judah peopo dat live inside Egypt, jalike I wen punish da Jerusalem peopo—wit war, no mo food, an da real bad kine sick. 14 From da Judah peopo dat wen go Egypt side fo live dea, no mo nobody goin run away fo save dea life, o get outa dea fo go back Judah side. No matta how much dey like go home fo live dea, ony litto bit peopo goin stay alive fo go back dea.’ ”

15 Had plenny guys dea dat know dea wifes stay burn incense fo odda gods dat not da real God. An had odda wahines dat wen come togedda dea too, wit da res a dem. All dose Judah peopo dat live on da north side an da south side inside Egypt, dey tell Jeremiah, 16 “No ways! We no goin lissen wat you tell us guys, no matta you tell us you stay talk fo Da One In Charge! 17 Fo shua we goin do eryting we tell we goin do. We goin burn incense fo oua wahine god da Queen Inside Da Sky. We goin pour out drink sacrifices fo her, jalike us guys, oua ancesta guys, da king guys, an oua leada guys wen do inside da Judah towns an on top da Jerusalem streets. Befo time, wen we make lidat, we get plenny food, an we stay rich, an we no suffa notting bad. 18 But you know wat?! Wen we stop burn incense fo da Queen Inside Da Sky, an pour out da drink offering fo her, us no mo notting, an mo an mo peopo mahke cuz a da war an cuz no mo food!”

19 An da wahines tell: “Wen we stay burn incense fo da Queen Inside Da Sky, an pour out drink offering fo her, you tink oua husbans neva know dat we make small kine bread dat look jalike her, an pour out da drink offering fo her? Fo shua dey know!”

20 Den Jeremiah tell all da peopo, da guys an wahines dat stay in his face, 21 “You guys tink Da One In Charge foget da incense you wen burn, o wat?! You guys, an yoa ancesta guys, an yoa king guys, an yoa leada guys, an da peopo inside da land wen burn um inside da Judah towns an on top da Jerusalem streets?! Fo shua, Da One In Charge neva foget bout all dat kine stuff! 22 You guys all da time wen do da worses pilau kine stuff eva. But Da One In Charge, he had it awready wit you guys.

An az why all dis bad kine stuff happen to you guys, jalike how stay now.”

24 Den Jeremiah tell all da peopo, an all da wahines too: “Lissen wat Da One In Charge tell, all you Judah peopo dat stay Egypt side. 25 Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘You guys an yoa wifes wen make one spesho promise. You tell dat fo shua you goin do eryting you wen make spesho promise fo do, fo burn incense fo da Queen Inside Da Sky, an pour out drink offering fo her. An now you guys stay do jalike you wen promise fo do.’

“Kay den, go ahead! Do wat you wen promise fo do! Make shua you do eryting you wen make one spesho kine promise fo do! 26 But lissen wat Da One In Charge tell, all you Jews dat live inside Egypt! He tell: ‘Me, Da One In Charge, I get da rights fo make dis spesho promise cuz a who me, I da greates. No mo nobody from Judah goin use my name fo make one spesho kine promise, o go tell stuff like “I tell dis cuz I stay shua Da One In Charge a me stay alive!” fo make dea promise come strong, any place ova dea inside Egypt. 27 I watch dem real good. So den watevas dey do wrong, I goin bus um up, an no do good kine stuff fo dem. All da Jews Egypt side goin mahke cuz a da war an cuz no mo food, till no mo nobody goin stay alive. 28 But if get anybody dat no mahke cuz a da war, an dey get away an go back inside da Judah land from Egypt, ony goin be litto bit peopo. Den all da Judah peopo dat wen come fo live Egypt side goin know fo shua who stay tell da trut, me o dem.’ ”

Four Tings Dat Stay Alive
An Go Ery Place God Go

1 ✡July 31, da same year me Ezekiel wen make thirty, I was wit da Israel peopo dat stay by da Kebar Canal, Babylon side. Da Babylon army guys wen make us guys prisona an take us dea.

Da sky wen rip open, an I see some awesome kine stuff, jalike da kine dreams da odda guys dat talk fo God see.

2 ✡(Five year befo dat day, da Babylon guys wen make King Koniah prisona, an bring um Babylon side. 3 Dat day, had one spesho message from Da One In Charge fo Ezekiel. His faddah Buzi da pries guy. Ezekiel stay inside da Babylon land, by da Kebar Canal. Ova dea, da powa from Da One In Charge wen come inside him.)

4 I look an I spock one storm wit plenny wind dat stay come from da north. Had one big cloud wit da lightning flashing inside, an all aroun da outside get real bright light. Get someting look jalike red hot kine metal inside da middo part a da fire. 5 ✡An inside da fire, look jalike get four tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go. Da body look jalike one guy, 6 but all dem get four face an four wing. 7 Da legs go strait down. Dea feets jalike bebe cow feets, an dey shiny jalike da bronze metal dat somebody polish. 8 Get wings on da four sides, an undaneat da wings get peopo kine hand. Da four tings all get dat kine face an wing, 9 an dea wings touch each odda. Dey all can move to da front, da back, o da side, an dey no need turn.

10 ✡Da faces look lidis: one side get peopo kine face. Da right side get one lion face. Da lef side get one cow face. An da odda side get one eagle face. 11 Az how dea faces stay. Da wings stay open, ova da head an spread out. All da living tings, two wing touch da odda guy wing, dis side an dat side. An da two odda wing cova dea body. 12 Da four tings go strait, wea eva dey stay looking. Dey go wea eva da Spirit go, an dey no need turn fo go. 13 ✡Da four tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go look kinda like burning coals, o jalike one torch. Look jalike da fire go from one to da odda. Da fire stay bright, an lightning flash come out from da fire. 14 Da four tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go, dey go back an forth so fas, look jalike lightning.

15 ✡Wen I look da tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go, ho! all dem get one wheel on top da groun nex to him, all four a dem. 16 Da wheels, dey look jalike dis: dey all shiny, jalike da kine jewelry stone from Tarshish, an da wheels all look da same. Look jalike da middo part all get anodda wheel inside. 17 Wen dey move, dey can go lef-right, front-back. Dey go strait an dey no need turn. 18 ✡Da wheels, tall, an skery kine. Da four wheel get eyes all ova.

19 Wen da tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go move, da wheels nex to dem move same time. An wen da four tings go up from da groun, da wheels go up same time. 20 Wea eva da Spirit go, da tings go, an da wheels stay close to dem, cuz da Spirit fo da four tings stay inside da wheels too. 21 Wen da four tings move, da wheels move too. Wen da four tings stan still, da wheels stan still. Wen da four tings go up from da groun, da wheels go up nex to dem. Cuz da Spirit fo da four tings stay inside da wheels too.

22 ✡Ova da heads a da four tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go, look jalike all aroun get one big, flat ting, look shiny jalike ice, an make me come sked. 23 Da four tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go, undaneat da flat ting, dea wings go strait out an touch da odda one wing, an all dem get two wings fo hide dea body. 24 ✡Wen da four tings move, I hear da noise from dea wings, soun jalike flash flood, jalike da voice from Da God Dat Get All Da Powa. An jalike da noise from one big army. Wen dey stan still, dey let dea wings res.

25 Den had one voice. Da kine come from ova da flat ting dat stay ova dea heads. Dey stop an let dea wings res. 26 ✡Ova da flat ting dat stay spread out ova dea head, get someting dat look jalike one throne, wit da lapis lazuli kine blue stone all ova.

9 Den God tell me, “Go inside an look da supa pilau kine tings dey do ova dea.” 10 So I go inside an look. I see pichas all ova da walls. Look jalike da kine tings dat crawl on top da groun, da pilau kine animals, an all kine idol kine gods dat da Israel ohana peopo stay pray to. 11 Get seventy older leadas guys fo da Israel peopo stay standing dea in front da idol kine gods.

No hold back. 6 Kill ol guys, young guys, teenage girls, kids an wahines. But all da guys dat get da mark on dem, stay away from dem.

“ ‘Wat kine muddah you Judah guys get?!

Yoa muddah, jalike one lion wahine,

Dat live wit da odda lions.

She take kea her bebes till dey grow up.

3 Da muddah, she pick one a her bebes fo teach um stuff.

An he learn how fo rip up da animals he kill,

An he eat up peopo too.

4 Da odda peopos hear bout um,

An dey trap him down inside one deep hole dey wen dig.

Dey tie um up an take um

To da Egypt land.

5 “ ‘Wen da muddah see wat she stay wait fo

No goin happen,

She take anodda bebe,

An teach him fo come one strong lion.

6 He come da leada ova all da odda lions

Cuz he strong.

He learn how fo rip up da animals he kill,

An he eat up peopo too.

7 He bus up da towns dat get strong wall in da nations aroun dea,

An wipe out da odda towns aroun dem.

All da peopo inside da land

Come real sked wen he make noise.

8 Den da odda peopos attack him,

Da ones from da countries aroun dea.

Dey lay dea net fo catch um,

An dey trap him down inside one deep hole dey wen dig.

9 Dey tie um up

An pull um inside one cage

Fo bring um by da Babylon king.

Dey put um inside one prison ova dea,

So no can hear his voice one mo time on top da Israel mountains.

10 “ ‘Yoa muddah jalike one grape plant inside yoa grape farm.

She grow by da watta.

She get plenny fruits an plenny branches

Cuz get plenny watta ova dea.

11 Da branches come real strong—

An cuz get choke plenny branch.

12 But da plant get pull out cuz somebody plenny huhu,

On top dry groun wea no mo watta.

14 Da fire go from one a da main branches

An burn up all da fruits.

No mo strong branch on da plant

Dat can use fo make da kine stick dat one king carry fo show he da king.’ ”

Make shua dey know was pilau, da kine stuff dea ancesta guys wen do. 5 ✡Tell um: Dis wat Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell: Da time I wen pick da Israel peopo fo come my peopo, I put up my right hand an make one strong promise to da Jacob ohana. Wen I wen show up fo da peopo see me befo dey leave da Egypt land I tell um, ‘Me, Da One In Charge, I da God fo you guys!’ 6 Dat day I make one strong promise to dem: ‘I goin bring you guys outa Egypt fo go one land I wen pick fo you. Az one land dat get plenny milk an honey, da mos beautiful land from all da odda lands.’ 7 An I tell um, ‘All you guys, throw out all yoa horraz kine idol gods you guys like look at. No come pilau wit da idol kine gods from Egypt. Do dis, cuz az me, Da One In Charge, yoa God!’ ”

8 But dey wen go agains me an no like lissen me. Dey no throw out all dea horraz kine idol gods dat dey like look at. An dey no bag from da idol kine gods from Egypt. So I tell dat I goin show how mad I stay agains dem, an pay dem back befo dey leave da Egypt land. 9 But fo keep my good rep, I make shua da odda peopos aroun dem no give me one bad rep. Cuz dose odda peopos see wat I do, da time I let da Israel peopo see me an I bring um outa Egypt. 10 Az why I bring dem outa Egypt an make um go inside da boonies. 11 ✡I tell dem wat dey gotta do, an make shua dey know wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong. Cuz whoeva lissen my rules, dey goin stay alive if dey do um. 12 ✡An I give dem da days dat stay spesho fo me too fo stay jalike one sign fo dem an fo me. Make shua dey no foget was me, Da One In Charge, wen make da days spesho fo me.

13 But da Israel ohana wen go agains me inside da boonies. Dey no live da way I tell um dey gotta live, an dey bag from wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong. Cuz whoeva lissen my rules, dey goin stay alive if dey do um. An da Israel ohana guys make all my Res Days come real pilau. So I wen tell dat I goin stay huhu wit dem an wipe um out ova dea inside da boonies. 14 But cuz I get one good rep, az why I make shua da odda peopos aroun dem no give me one pilau name. Cuz dose odda peopos see wat I do, da time I bring da Israel peopo outa Egypt. 15 ✡An I do anodda ting too. Inside da boonies I wen make one strong promise dat no way I goin bring dem inside da land I wen give dem, one land dat get plenny milk an honey, da mos beautiful land from all da odda lands. 16 Az cuz da Israel ohana guys bag from wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong, an dey no live da way I tell um dey gotta live. Dey make all my Res Days an all da odda days dat stay spesho fo me come real pilau cuz dey like stay tight wit dea idol kine gods. 17 But wen I see how dey stay, I tell, “Pooa ting!” Az why I no wipe dem out inside da boonies. 18 Inside da boonies, I tell dea kids, “No stick wit da rules yoa faddah guys wen make! No stick wit da tings dey tell you bout wass right an wass wrong! No go come pilau wit dea idol kine gods! 19 Me, I yoa God, Da One In Charge.

Dey no live da way I wen tell you guys fo live. Dey no follow wat you tell um bout wass right an wass wrong. An da kids make da days dat stay spesho fo me come pilau. Az why I wen tell dat I goin show how mad I stay agains dem. Cuz a eryting dey do, dat time I stay ready fo wipe um out ova dea inside da boonies. 22 But I neva do all dat cuz I get one good rep. Az why I make shua da odda peopos aroun dem no give me one pilau name cuz a who me. Cuz dey see wat wen happen wen I bring da peopo outa Egypt. 23 ✡An I wen make one strong promise inside da boonies dat I goin scatta dem all ova wea da odda peopos live. 24 I tell um dat cuz dey no lissen wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong fo dem do. Dey bag from my rules. Dey make da days dat stay spesho fo me come pilau, an dey tink ony bout da idol kine gods dea faddah guys wen pray to. 25 Was me, Da One In Charge, dat let um follow da rules dat stay no good, an live da way dat no goin work. But dey no can live lidat. 26 I make dem come pilau from all da tings I wen give dem. Az why dey kill dea firs bebe, an burn up da body fo make one sacrifice. Cuz a dat, dey goin tink how horraz dey ack, an know dass me, Da One In Charge, dat do dat to dem.

27 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Az why you gotta tell da Israel peopo dis: ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell: Ova an ova, yoa ancesta guys wen talk bad bout me. Da way dey ack, I no can trus dem! 28 I wen bring dem inside da land dat I wen make one strong promise fo give dem. But den, erytime dey see one high hill o one tree wit plenny leafs, dass wea dey make dea sacrifices dat make me come huhu. Dass wea dey put out dea stuffs dat smell nice an make you feel good.

10 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Tell da Israel peopo, ‘Dis how you guys talk: “Us go agains God plenny! Get plenny bad kine stuff us wen do! Az jalike get one big presha on top us dat stay eating us away cuz a all dat! How us goin stay alive, aah?” ’

How come you ack jalike you like mahke, you Israel peopo?!’

12 “So you, Fo Real Kine Guy—you gotta tell yoa Israel peopo, ‘Da good kine stuff one good guy do, no goin get him outa trouble wen he go agains me Da One In Charge. An da bad kine stuff one bad kine guy do, no goin jam him up wen he turn his life aroun from wat he wen do befo time. If da good guy do bad kine stuff, he no goin stay alive jus cuz he wen do good kine stuff befo time.’ 13 But maybe da good kine guy make lidis: Afta me Da One In Charge tell um dat he goin stay alive fo shua, but den he figga da good kine stuff he wen do befo time enuff fo him stay alive. So den he go do bad kine stuff. But me Da One In Charge goin foget da good kine stuff he wen do befo time. He goin mahke inside cuz a da bad kine stuff he do now. 14 Maybe I tell one bad kine guy, ‘You goin mahke inside fo shua!’ But den he turn his life aroun from da bad kine stuff he wen do befo time, an now he do da good an right kine stuff. 15 O maybe he make lidis: He wen loan stuff to somebody an keep some a dea property fo make shua dey pay um back. But now he give back wat he keep. O maybe he rip off someting from somebody befo time, an now he give um back. Now he stick wit wat I tell da peopo dey gotta do fo live, an he no do bad kine stuff no moa. Dat guy goin stay alive fo shua. He no goin get cut off from me. 16 I goin foget da bad kine stuff he wen do. Now he stay do wass good an wass right. Dat guy goin live fo shua.

17 “But yoa peopo stay tell, ‘Da way Da One In Charge do stuff dass not pono!’ But dem da ones dat do stuff dass not pono! 18 If one good guy turn aroun an no do good kine stuff, an do bad kine stuff, he goin mahke fo dat. 19 An if one bad guy turn aroun an no do bad kine stuff, an do good kine stuff, he goin live cuz a dat. 20 But you Israel peopo tell, ‘Da way Da One In Charge do stuff no stay pono.’ But I goin judge all you guys, da way you guys do stuff.”

1

Daniel An His Frenz Babylon Side

1 ✡Da year numba three wen Jehoiakim stay da king fo Judah, da Babylon king Nebukadnezzar come Jerusalem. He put his army guys all aroun da town fo nobody come inside o go outside. 2 ✡Da Boss, Da One In Charge, let da Babylon guys catch Jehoiakim, da Judah king. An afta dey take ova Jerusalem, dey take some a da stuff from da Temple Fo God. Dey bring um Babylon side to dea temple fo dea god, an put um inside da store house fo all dea rich kine stuff.

3 Den da king tell Ashpenaz, da main guy dat stay in charge a all his palace peopo, fo bring him some a da Israel guys dat stay Babylon side from da Israel king ohana, an from da alii guys. 4 Ashpenaz suppose to bring young good looking guys dat no mo notting wrong wit dea body, an dat know how fo learn all kine stuff, an know plenny awready, dat can undastan stuff firs time, an smart fo work fo da Babylon king inside his palace. Ashpenaz gotta teach dem da Babylon language, an all da books dat guys wen write Babylon side. 5 Da king give Ashpenaz da kuleana fo make shua da guys he teach get food ery day from da king food. Dass da same kine food da king eat an da same kine wine he drink. Da teacha guys suppose to teach dem fo three year, an afta dat, dey get job fo work fo da king.

6 Some a da guys Ashpenaz wen pick come from da Judah ohana: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, an Azariah. 7 Ashpenaz give da Judah guys new kine name. He give dem Babylon kine name. To Daniel, he give da name Belteshazzar. He give Hananiah da name Shadrak. He give Mishael da name Meshak. An he give Azariah da name Abednego.

8 But Daniel, he make up his mind dat he no goin eat da kine food da king like him fo eat an drink da wine da king like him fo drink, cuz dass da kine stuff Da One In Charge make kapu fo his peopo. So Daniel tell da guy in charge fo no make him eat dat kine food. 9 God awready wen make Ashpenaz, da guy in charge, come tight wit Daniel, an he show him pity. 10 But da guy tell Daniel, “I sked a my boss da king, cuz he wen tell me wat kine food you guys gotta eat an wat fo drink. Bumbye he goin see you look mo worse den all da odda guys da same age as you. Den da king goin chop off my head cuz a dat.”

11 Den Daniel talk to da luna guy dat Ashpenaz wen put in charge a him, Hananiah, Mishael, an Azariah. He tell,

12 “Try fo tes me an my frenz fo ony ten day. You da boss! Give us guys ony whole wheat an barley kine food fo eat an watta fo drink. 13 Den, afta da ten day, you come see how us guys look, an how da odda young guys look, da guys dat stay eat da king kine food. Den you can make to us guys how you like, from da way you see us.” 14 So da luna guy do wat dey tell him, an give um da tes fo ten day.

15 Afta da ten day, da Israel guys look mo betta an mo strong, den da odda young guys dat eat da king kine food. 16 Cuz a dat, da luna guy take away da king kine food an wine from da Israel guys, an give um whole wheat an barley kine food.

17 God make da four young Israel guys know plenny bout any kine stuff, an undastan how come stay lidat. Dey learn plenny from books, an dey know wat fo do erytime. An Da One In Charge wen give Daniel spesho powa fo help peopo undastan all kine stuff peopo see in dea dreams, an in da tings dey see jalike one dream but dey no stay sleeping.

18 Da three year pau, dat King Nebukadnezzar wen give um. Den, da guy in charge a da palace peopo bring da young guys in front da king. 19 Da king talk wit all da young guys dat study togedda. He see dat from all dem, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, an Azariah stay mo smart den da odda guys. So da four guys wen start fo work fo da king. 20 Wateva da king aks da young Israel guys, fo find out if dey know wat fo do erytime, an how come peopo do wat dey do, he find out dat dey know ten times mo den all da guys inside his whole Babylon land dat can tell wat da dreams mean, o dat can stop da bad kine tings dat happen to you wen somebody put kahuna on top you.

21 So Daniel stay work inside da palace, all da way till da year numba one wen Cyrus come da king fo Babylon.

2

Nebukadnezzar Get One Dream

1 Da year numba two wen Nebukadnezzar stay king Babylon side, he get one dream, but he no can rememba wat he wen dream. Da dream bodda him, an he no can sleep good. 2 So da king tell his helpa guys fo call dese guys fo come by him: da kahuna guys dat know how fo tell wat dreams mean, da kahuna guys dat know how fo stop da bad kine stuff dat happen to you wen somebody put kahuna on top you, an odda kahuna guys dat know how fo put kahuna on top you, an da Kaldea guys dat know how fo learn stuff from da stars. Dey suppose to know wat he wen dream. So dey come stan in front him. 3 Da king tell dem, “I wen get one dream. Dis bodda me real plenny, cuz I donno wat I wen dream.” 4 Da kahuna guys tell da king in da Aramaic language, “You da King, an us like you live foeva! We yoa worka guys. Tell us da dream, an we goin tell you wat da dream mean.”

5 Da king tell da kahuna guys, “I tell you guys dis fo shua. If you guys no can tell me wat I wen dream, an wat da dream mean, I goin tell my odda worka guys fo cut off yoa arms an legs, an make yoa house come one big rubbish pile. 6 But if you guys can tell me wat I wen dream, an wat da dream mean, I goin give you guys plenny stuffs, an show you guys plenny respeck in front da peopo. Az why I like you guys tell me da dream, an wat da dream mean.”

7 Da kahuna guys tell one mo time, “You da king! Tell us guys da dream. Den we goin tell you wat da dream mean.” 8 But da king tell um, “I know fo shua dat you guys stay trying fo make slow fo get mo time, cuz you know dat I no change wat I wen tell. 9 If you guys no tell me wat I wen dream, I goin punish all you guys da same way! You guys wen make one plan wit each odda, fo bulai me bout dis dream, an trick me, cuz you figga dat bumbye I goin change my mind. Az why now you guys gotta tell me wat I wen dream! Den fo shua I goin know dat you guys can tell me wat da dream mean too.” 10 Da Kaldea guys dat know how fo learn stuff from da stars tell da king, “No mo nobody in da world dat can tell you wat you like fo know. No mo anodda king, big o strong, eva wen make his guys tell wat he dream befo. He no even tell da kahuna guys dat know wat dreams mean fo tell um dat. Same ting fo da kahuna guys dat can stop bad kine stuff dat can happen wen somebody put kahuna on top you, o da ones dat learn stuff from da stars. 11 Wat you, oua King, stay aks us fo do, too hard! No mo nobody can tell you wat you like know. Ony da gods can do dis, an dey no live wit da peopo.” 12 Dat wen make da king come real huhu, wat da smart guys tell him. He tell his helpa guys fo kill all da smart guys inside Babylon. 13 So da King tell his guys wat fo do. Dey make ready fo go kill all da smart guys inside Babylon. Da Babylon guys wen go look fo Daniel an his frenz fo kill dem too!

14 But den, Daniel go talk wit Aryok. He da main leada fo da king bodyguards, da ones dat kill da prisonas dat da king like kill. He stay ready fo go out fo kill all da smart guys inside Babylon, wen Daniel talk to him. Daniel know how fo help peopo figga, an he pick da bestes way fo talk to Aryok. 15 He tell Aryok, “Sir, you da one work fo da King. How come dis bad ting you goin do to da smart guys come from da King?” So Aryok tell Daniel wat wen happen. 16 Wen Daniel hear dis, he go inside wea da king stay. Daniel tell da king fo wait, fo him tell da king wat da dream mean. An da king tell okay.

17 Den Daniel go home his house. He tell his frenz Hananiah, Mishael, an Azariah wat wen happen. 18 Daniel tell dem fo pray to God Inside Da Sky fo give dem chance an show dem da secret a da dream, fo Daniel an his frenz no get wipe out wit da odda smart guys inside Babylon. 19 Dat nite, Daniel wen see someting jalike one dream, an God wen show him da secret. Den Daniel tell God Inside Da Sky “Mahalo plenny!” cuz he do good tings fo him. 20 Daniel tell,

Daniel Tell Wat Da Dream Mean

24 Den Daniel go by Aryok. He da guy da king wen give da job fo kill all da smart guys inside Babylon. Daniel tell Aryok, “No kill da smart guys inside Babylon! Take me by da king, an I goin tell him wat his dream mean.”

25 Right den an dea Aryok take Daniel by da king an tell, “King, I find one guy from da peopo you wen bring hea from Judah. He can tell you wat yoa dream mean.”

26 Da king tell Daniel, dat get da Babylon name Belteshazzar, “You shua you can tell me wat I wen see inside my dream, an tell me wat da dream mean, o wat?!”

27 Daniel tell, “No mo nobody can tell you dis ting you stay aks bout. Not even da smart guys, an da kahuna guys dat know how fo stop da bad kine stuff dat can happen to you wen somebody put kahuna on top you, o dat know how fo tell wat one dream mean, o dat look at da animal guts wen dey kill um fo make sacrifice, fo dem find out wass goin happen bumbye. 28 But, get one God inside da sky dat make peopo know da secret tings. King Nebukadnezzar, God wen make you know awready wat goin happen bumbye. Now, I goin tell you wat you wen dream, an tell all da pichas dat you wen see in yoa head wen you lay on top yoa bed.

29 “You, my King, wen you stay lay dea, you start fo tink bout wat goin happen bumbye. But God, he da One dat make peopo know da kine stuff dat stay secret. An he wen show you wat goin happen. 30 An was to me dat God wen show da secret awready fo wat da dream mean. He no do dis cuz I mo smart den any odda guy dat stay alive. He do dis fo you, da king, know wat da dream mean. Den you can undastan wat you wen see inside yoa head.

31 “You, my King, wen see someting inside yoa dream. You see right in front you, one big statue! Da buggah real mangus an shiny, an look real skery. 32 Da head, all gold. Da ches an arms, silva. Da opu part an da thighs, bronze. 33 Da odda part a da legs, iron. Da feets, get one part iron an da odda part clay dat dey bake inside da oven.

34 “Wen you stay look da statue, one mangus rock wen broke off from one mountain. But no mo nobody wen make um broke off! Da rock fall down, hit da statue on top da iron an clay feets, an smash um up, small pieces. 35 Den, da iron, da clay, da bronze, da silva, an da gold wen broke same time, all small pieces, jalike da junk kine stuff dat fall down on top da groun wea dey split da wheat from da junk kine stuff summa time. An da wind blow um all away, so no mo notting dea. But da rock dat wen smash da statue, come one big mountain, an fill up da whole world.”

36 Daniel tell da king: “Dass wat you wen dream. Now, I can tell you wat da dream mean. 37 King Nebukadnezzar, you da king ova all da odda kings. God Inside Da Sky, he da One wen make you king, an give you da powa, an make you strong, an make erybody get respeck fo you. 38 He wen give you powa ova all da peopo, an da animals inside da fields, an da birds inside da sky. Wea eva dey stay, he make you da boss ova all dem. You jalike da gold head on top da statue.

39 “Afta you, anodda kine govmen goin come, not awesome like yoas. Afta dat, anodda kine govmen, numba three, goin come. Dey da bronze part a da statue. Dey goin get powa ova da whole world too. 40 Den, da numba four kine govmen goin come. Dey goin be strong jalike da iron, cuz iron can broke eryting an make um come small pieces. An jalike da iron, dese govmen guys goin smash all da odda govmens dat come befo dem. 41 You wen see dat da feets an da toes was part clay dey wen bake um, an part iron. Dat mean, da peopo dat stay unda da numba four kine govmen, dey no goin stay togedda. But still yet, dey goin be strong, jalike da iron dat stay mix wit da clay. 42 Jalike da toes stay one part iron an one part clay, so dis govmen goin be litto bit strong, an da odda part easy fo broke. 43 Da diffren peopos goin marry each odda, all mix up togedda, but dey no goin stick togedda real good. Az jalike you wen see dat da iron mix wit da clay no stay togedda.

44 “Da time numba four kine govmen get powa, God Inside Da Sky goin set up anodda kine govmen. Dat govmen, no goin come wipe out eva, an odda peopo no goin get um. Dey goin smash all da odda kine govmens, so dey no mo powa. An dat govmen, goin stay solid foeva. 45 Dass wat da big rock you wen see mean. But nobody wen broke dat rock outa da mountain—da rock dat broke da iron, da bronze, da clay, da silva, an da gold, in small piece.

“Da mos importan God wen let you, da king, know wat goin happen bumbye. Da dream stay true, an you can trus wat I tell you bout da dream.”

46 Den King Nebukadnezzar go down an put his face on top da groun in front Daniel, an show him respeck. He tell his guys fo give wheat an barley an incense to Daniel, fo Daniel make one sacrifice to God. 47 Da king tell Daniel, “Fo shua yoa God stay da God ova all da odda gods, an da Boss ova us king guys. He da One dat show wat tings mean dat stay secret cuz you wen tell wat dis dream mean.”

48 Den da king wen make Daniel one real importan guy an give him plenny present. He make Daniel da main leada guy ova all da Babylon districk, an put him in charge a all da smart guys Babylon side. 49 Daniel tell da king fo make Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego come wit him fo help him take kea da Babylon districk.

4 Den one guy dat talk fo da king talk wit one loud voice: “Dis wat all you diffren peopos gotta do, from ery country, an ery language. 5 Wen you guys hear da soun from da trumpet, da flute, da bass harp, da small harp, da local kine harp, wen dey play all da instrument togedda, right den an dea you guys gotta go down on top da groun fo show respeck fo da gold statue dat King Nebukadnezzar wen put up. 6 Whoeva no go down on top da groun an show respeck, right den an dea da king guys goin throw dem inside one real hot fire jalike one big oven.”

7 Wen da time come, all da diffren peopos from ery country an ery language hear all da kine music. Dey all go down on top da groun an show respeck fo da gold statue dat King Nebukadnezzar wen put up.

8 So, wen dat happen, some a da Kaldea guys dat know how fo learn stuff from da stars come an poin finga da Jews. 9 Dey tell da king, “King Nebukadnezzar, we like you live foeva! 10 King, you da one dat make da rule, dat wen erybody dat hear da kine music, dey gotta go down an show respeck fo da gold kine statue. 11 An dat whoeva no go down on top da groun an show um respeck, yoa guys goin throw dem inside one real hot fire jalike one big oven, aah! 12 But get some Jews dat you wen put ova da govmen fo da Babylon districk—Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego, dat no lissen you, King Nebukadnezzar. Dey no mo respeck fo yoa gods, an dey no show respeck fo da gold statue dat you put up.”

13 Wen King Nebukadnezzar hear dat, he come real huhu, an tell his guys go bring Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego by him. So his guys bring da three a dem in front da king. 14 King Nebukadnezzar tell dem, “Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego! Az true? You guys wen make one plan fo do dis, o wat?! You guys no mo respeck fo my gods, fo no go down an show respeck fo da gold kine statue I put up?! 15 Now, wen you guys hear da soun from da music one mo time, if you guys stay ready fo go down an show respeck fo da statue dat I wen put up, az good. But if you guys no go down in front um, my guys goin throw you guys inside da real hot fire inside da big oven. Den wat kine god goin help you guys get outa my powa, aah?! No way!”

16 Den Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego tell da king, “King Nebukadnezzar, us guys no need tell you notting fo get outa dis. 17 If yoa guys throw us guys inside da real hot fire, da God we work fo can get us outa dea, an he goin get us guys outa yoa powa, King Nebukadnezzar. 18 But even if he no get us guys outa yoa powa, we like you know fo shua: us guys no goin do stuff fo yoa gods, an no way we goin go down fo show respeck fo da gold statue you wen put up.”

19 Den King Nebukadnezzar come even mo huhu wit Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego, an his face come red cuz he real mad. Den he tell his guys fo make da oven fire place seven times mo hot den befoa. 20 Da king tell some a da mos strong army guys fo tie up Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego, an throw um inside da real hot oven fire place. 21 So da king guys tie up da three Jew guys wit all dea clotheses, dea robes, dea pants, dea hats, an dea odda clotheses, an throw um inside da real hot oven fire place. 22 Da king wen stay real huhu wen he tell his guys fo make da oven fire place mo hot to da max. Az how come da fire even kill da guys dat work fo da king, afta dey throw da Jew guys inside um. 23 Da three guys stay all tie up tight wen da guys dat work fo da king drop um down inside da real hot oven fire place.

24 Den, King Nebukadnezzar jaw drop! He jump up from his chair, an tell da odda govmen guys dat stay wit him, “Wassup?! Us guys wen throw three guys down inside dea, an dey all tie up, aah?!”

Dey tell, “King Nebukadnezzar, az right!”

25 He tell, “Look! I see four guys stay walking aroun inside da fire. Dey no stay tie up, an dey no stay hurt. An da numba four guy, he look jalike one a da gods!”

26 Den King Nebukadnezzar go by da door wea dey clean out da real hot oven fire place, an he yell, “Hui! Shadrak, Meshak, Abednego! You guys dat work fo da God Dass Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods, come outside!”

So Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego come outa dea. 27 An da guys dat run da odda countries afta da king take um ova, dea helpa guys, da territorial govna guys, an da odda govmen guys dat work fo da king, dey all push each odda fo go look da three Jew guys. Da leada guys see dat da fire no mo powa fo burn dea bodies. No burn even one hair on top dea heads. No burn dea robe, an no mo fire smell on dem.

28 Den King Nebukadnezzar tell, “Erybody gotta tell good tings bout da God dat Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego pray to. Dat God wen sen his angel messenja guy fo get his worka guys outa da real hot oven fire place. Dey trus dea god, no matta dey go agains wat I tell dem fo do. Dey no sked mahke, an dey no goin work fo anodda god o go down in front anodda god. Dey like ony work fo an go down in front dea own god. 29 Az why I make dis rule now: No matta wat peopo o wat country somebody come from, an no matta wat language dey talk, if dey talk an no show respeck fo da God dat Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego pray to, I goin tell my worka guys fo cut off dea arms an legs, an make dea house come one big rubbish pile. Cuz no mo anodda god dat can get peopo outa trouble da way dea god can!”

30 Den da king wen make Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego come even mo importan inside da Babylon districk.

Da Writing On Top Da Wall

(Jesus Show 9:20)

1 Long time afta, Belshazzar come king. One time, he throw one big party fo one tousan a his alii guys, an he drink wine togedda wit dem. 2 Wen Belshazzar stay drink his wine, he tell his guys fo bring in da fancy gold an silva cups an bowls dat his ancesta guy Nebukadnezzar wen take from da Jerusalem temple, fo him an da alii guys, his real wifes, an his odda wifes, drink from um. 3 So dey bring in da fancy kine gold cups dat dey wen get from da Temple Fo God inside Jerusalem. Da king, da alii guys, his wifes, an his odda wifes drink from um. 4 Wen dey stay drink da wine from da cups, dey stay talk good bout dea idol kine gods dat dey wen make from gold, silva, bronze, iron, wood, an stone.

5 Right den an dea dey see da finga a one hand come by dem! Da hand write on top da plaster part a da wall inside da king palace, wea get plenny light from da stan fo da lamp. Da king watch da hand write on da wall. 6 His eyes come real big, an he come real sked. His knee stay knock togedda, an he come real weak an he stay shake an he no can tink good.

7 Da king yell real loud fo his guys fo bring da kahuna guys dat know how fo stop da bad kine stuff dat happen wen somebody put kahuna on top you, da kahuna guys dat know how fo tell stuff from da stars, an da kahuna guys dat look at da animal guts wen dey kill um fo make sacrifice, fo dem figga wass goin happen bumbye. Wen all dose smart guys from Babylon come, he tell um: “Whoeva read dis writing an tell me wat dis mean, I goin put purple kine king kine clotheses dat cost plenny on top him, an one gold chain aroun his neck. He goin come da numba three leada fo da Babylon peopo.”

8 Den all da king smart guys come inside look, but dey no can read da writing o tell da king wat stay mean. 9 Az why King Belshazzar come even mo sked, an his eyes come mo big. Da alii guys no can figga um too.

10 Da king muddah hear da noise from da king an da alii guys. She go inside da place wea dey get da party. She tell, “King Belshazzar, I like you stay alive foeva! No worry! No need yoa eye come big! 11 Get one guy inside dis land dat get da spirit from da good an spesho gods inside him. Wen yoa faddah stay king, peopo find out dat dis guy can see stuff fo real kine, an undastan plenny, an know wat fo do erytime, jalike da gods. King Nebukadnezzar, yoa faddah, make dat guy da main leada fo da kahuna guys dat know how fo tell wat dreams mean. He lead da odda kahuna guys too, da ones dat know how fo stop da bad kine stuff dat happen wen somebody put kahuna on top you. An he lead da kahuna guys dat know how fo tell stuff from da stars, an da kahuna guys dat look at da animal guts wen dey kill um fo make sacrifice, fo dem find out wass goin happen bumbye. 12 Dis guy Daniel, dat yoa faddah give da name Belteshazzar. Da peopo find out dat he get real strong powa fo figga out stuff. He undastan any kine stuff. He can figga out wat dreams mean an ansa hard kine question, an figga out hard kine stuff. Tell Daniel fo come an he can tell you wat dis writing mean.”

13 So dey bring Daniel in front da king. Da king tell him, “Fo shua you da guy Daniel, one a da guys my faddah da king wen bring from Judah, o wat?! 14 Wat I hear bout you, da spirit from da gods stay strong inside you. Peopo know dat you see stuff real good, an undastan plenny, an know wat fo do erytime, mo den odda peopo. 15 My guys wen bring dese smart guys an kahuna guys in front me fo read dis writing an tell me wat da words mean, but dey no can tell me wat da writing mean. 16 I hear dat you can tell wat da writing mean, an figga out hard kine stuff. So, go read da writing, an tell me wat dat mean. Wen you do dat, I goin put purple king kine clotheses dat cost plenny on top you, an put one gold chain aroun yoa neck. You goin come da numba three leada fo da Babylon peopo.”

17 Daniel tell da king, “You keep dis stuff dass yoas an give wateva you like pay me to odda guys. But aah, I goin read da writing fo you an tell you wat dat mean.

18 “King Belshazzar, lissen up! Da God Dass Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods, he wen make yoa faddah Nebukadnezzar come king. He make him come mo importan, an make peopo get respeck fo him, an make him awesome. 19 Cuz God make him mo importan, all da diffren peopos from ery country an ery language come real sked a him. Wen da king like somebody fo mahke, he kill um. Wen he like keep somebody alive, he keep um alive. Wen he like make somebody come mo importan, he make um mo importan. Wen he like make somebody come not importan, he make dem come not importan.

20 “But den, King Nebukadnezzar start fo get big head, an inside, he come hard head an tink he can make how he like. Az why God throw him out fo be da king, an da peopo no show respeck fo him no moa. 21 Da peopo no let him stay wit dem no moa. He get da head fo tink jalike one animal. He live wit da wild donkeys, an eat grass jalike da cows. His body come wet wit da dew from da sky. Afta dat, he find out dat da God Dass Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods get da powa fo stay in charge a all da peopo dat come king inside da world, an he make whoeva he like come king.

22 “King Belshazzar, you come from Nebukadnezzar, so I know you know all dis. But you, you neva even tink dat get somebody mo importan den you. 23 You go ack jalike you mo importan den da God dat stay king inside da sky. You wen tell yoa guys fo go bring da fancy kine cups an bowls from da Temple fo dat God. Den you, yoa alii guys, yoa real wifes, an yoa odda wifes drink wine from um. An you talk good bout da silva, gold, bronze, iron, wood, an stone gods—no matta dey no can see, hear, o undastan notting. But you neva tell notting bout how awesome da God dat get da powa fo make you stay alive o fo kill you! He da One stay in charge a eryting you do! 24 Az why he sen da hand wit da fingas dat write on top da wall.

25 “An dis wat he write:

MENE,

MENE,

TEKEL, an

PARSIN.

26 “Dis wat mean: ‘MENE’ mean dat God count how much time you stay da king, an he tell you pau awready.

27 “ ‘TEKEL’ mean dat jalike God weigh you on one weight scale an find out you no weigh enuff.

28 “An ‘PARSIN,’ mean dat God half half da land wea you stay king, an give half to da Mede peopo an half to da Persia peopo.”

29 Den King Belshazzar tell his guys fo put da purple king kine clotheses dat cost plenny on top Daniel, an fo put one gold chain aroun his neck. An he let erybody know dat Daniel now da numba three main guy ova da land wea Belshazzar stay king.

30 But dat same nite, da Mede army guys kill Belshazzar, da king fo da Babylon peopo. 31 Darius da Mede guy take ova Babylon an come da king. He sixty-two year ol dat time.

Da Govna Guys Like Throw Out Daniel

1 King Darius figga az good fo make hundred twenny guys govnas fo da districks all ova da land wea he stay king. 2 Get three supavisa guys dat watch ova wat da govna guys do. An Daniel, he stay one a da three supavisa guys. Da govna guys gotta tell da supavisa guys eryting dey stay do, fo da king no need worry notting. 3 Da guy Daniel, he come mo betta den all da odda supavisa guys an govna guys. An cuz inside him, he stay real good, da king make one plan fo put Daniel in charge a da whole land wea he stay king. 4 Cuz a dat, da odda supavisa guys an da govna guys try fo find someting fo poin finga Daniel. Dey look at how he run da govmen. But dey no can find notting fo poin finga him, cuz erybody trus him an he no jam up notting. 5 Dey tell, “We no goin find notting fo poin finga Daniel, eva. Da ony ting fo poin finga him, gotta be da rules a his god, cuz da rules stay diffren!”

6 So da odda supavisa guys an all da govnas go togedda in front da king. Dey tell, “King Darius, we like fo you live foeva! 7 Us supavisa guys fo yoa land, an govna guys, an govna guys fo da districks, an all da odda govmen guys, an da older leada guys, we all wen talk. We figga az good fo you, da king, fo make one rule, an make shua nobody broke um. Dis da rule: da peopo gotta pray to you, da king. Whoeva pray to anodda god o anodda guy, fo da nex thirty days, throw dem down inside da big hole wea you put da lions. 8 We like fo you, King Darius, fo tell da peopo dat, an write down da rule, so no mo nobody can change um. Make um jalike one rule fo da Mede peopo an da Persia peopo, so dat no mo nobody can change da rule.” 9 Cuz a wat dey tell him, King Darius sign da paypa dat tell ony can pray to da king.

10 Wen Daniel find out dat da king sign da paypa fo da rule, he go home inside his house. Da windows fo da top room stay open an face Jerusalem. Three time ery day inside dat room, Daniel go down on top his knees fo tell God “Mahalo plenny!” cuz he do good tings. Wen he pray, he tell God he da bestes, jalike how he do befo time. 11 Den dose guys dat stay agains Daniel go his house all togedda an see him pray an aks God fo help him. 12 Az why dey go by da king an tell him bout da rule he wen write. Dey tell, “Eh! You jus write down one rule, aah? dat fo thirty day, whoeva no pray ony to you da King, but pray to anodda god o anodda guy, yoa guys goin throw um inside da big hole wea da lions stay!”

Da king tell, “Dass da rule! An dass da rules fo da Mede an Persia peopo, dat no mo nobody can change um.”

13 Den dey tell da king, “King Darius, dis guy Daniel, one a da guys da Babylon peopo wen bring hea from Judah, he no lissen you, o da rule you wen write, an you da King! He still yet pray three time ery day!”

14 Wen da king hear dat, bodda him plenny. He tink hard fo figga how fo help Daniel, till da sun go down. He try fo do eryting fo no make um mahke. 15 Da guys dat stay agains Daniel go togedda in front da king one mo time, an tell um, “King Darius, no foget dat da rules fo da Mede an Persia peopo tell dat no mo nobody can change da rules dat da king make.”

16 So da king tell his guys fo bring Daniel. Dey throw um down inside da hole wea dey put da lions. Da king tell Daniel, “Yoa God, da One you show respeck fo real plenny, ony him can get you outa dis, cuz I no can!” 17 Da king guys bring one big stone an put um on top da puka fo go down inside da hole. Den dey put clay aroun da stone so no can open um, an da king put his mark on top da clay wit his spesho ring fo seal um. His alii guys put mark wit dea rings too, so nobody can do notting fo Daniel. 18 Den da king go back inside his palace. He no eat notting all nite, an no like nobody play music o throw party fo him o do odda stuff. He no can sleep.

God No Let Da Lions Hurt Daniel

19 Morning time wen get litto bit light, da king get up an he go quick by da big hole wea dey put da lions. 20 Wen he come nea da lion hole, he call Daniel wit one sad kine voice. “Daniel, da worka guy fo da God dat stay alive! Yoa God, da One you work fo erytime, he wen get you outa dis, o wat?!”

21 Den Daniel tell da king, “King Darius, I like you live foeva! 22 My God wen sen his angel messenja guy fo make da lions no bite me. Dey no touch me notting, cuz God see me dat I neva do notting wrong. An I neva do notting wrong to you too, King Darius.”

23 Den da king come real, real good inside. He tell his guys fo bring Daniel outa da big hole. Wen dey bring Daniel outa da hole, dey no find cuts on top him notting cuz he trus his God. 24 Den da king tell his guys fo go get da guys dat wen bulai an poin finga Daniel. He tell um fo throw dem an dea wifes an kids inside da hole wea da lions stay. Dey neva even touch da bottom a da hole cuz da lions grab um an grind um up, even dea bones.

25 Laytas, King Darius write fo all da diffren peopos from ery country, an ery language, dat live all ova his land. He tell:

“I like eryting come real good fo erybody.

26 “Dis da rule: All ova da land wea I stay king, erybody gotta come sked an shaking in front Daniel God an get respeck fo him.

“He da God dat stay alive.

He live foeva.

No mo nobody can wipe out

Da peopo wea he stay da king.

He goin stay in charge foeva.

27 He get his peopo outa trouble.

He do awesome stuff an stuff you no tink az fo real he can do um

Inside da sky an on top da earth.

He wen get Daniel outa trouble

So da lions neva hurt him.”

28 Az why eryting go good fo Daniel, all da time Darius an Cyrus from Persia stay king.

Daniel Get One Dream
Bout One Ram An One Goat

1 Me, Daniel, I like tell you anodda story bout wat I wen see. Da year numba three wen Belshazzar stay king fo Babylon, God let me see someting jalike one dream, afta da odda dream dat I wen see da firs time. 2 Fo dis dream, me Daniel stay da Elam districk, inside da part a Susa town dat get strong wall. I stay stan by da side a da Ulai Canal.

3 I look up, an dea in front me get one ram wit two horn. He stay stan by da side a da canal. His two horn, real long. One a da horns grow mo long den da odda, but da mo long one start fo grow afta da odda one start fo grow. 4 I see da ram smash eryting wit his horns, west side, north side, an south side. No mo anodda animal can stan in front him. No mo animal can run away from him. He do wateva he like an he get mo an mo plenny powa.

5 Wen I tink bout dis, right den an dea I see one boy kine goat wit one big horn in da middo a da two eyes an you no can miss him, come from da west side. He run across da land real fas kine jalike he no touch da groun. 6 Da goat come by da ram wit da two horn dat stay stan by da side a da canal an run strait fo um. He stay real strong cuz he stay real huhu. 7 I see da goat go afta da ram an he come mo an mo mad. He wack da ram an smash da two horn. Da ram not strong enuff fo do notting. Da goat throw um down on top da groun an poun his feet all ova um. An no mo notting can stop da goat fo make lidat to da ram.

8 Da goat come mo strong still yet. But wen he come mo strong, somebody broke off da big horn. Den on top dat place, four horns grow up to da four winds inside da sky. 9 From one a da four horns, anodda horn start fo grow up dat start small, but come mo strong. He grow to da south an da east, an to da beautiful Israel land. 10 ✡Da new horn grow, an reach all da way up to wea can beef da army inside da sky. Den da horn throw down some a da sky army an some a da stars on top da earth, an poun his feet on top um. 11 Da horn make jalike he come big fo come same jalike da leada fo da army inside da sky. He no let da pries guys make da ery day kine sacrifices. He make da Temple dat stay spesho fo God come pilau. 12 But God no let da sky army go afta da horn an wipe um out cuz a da bad kine stuff da horn do. Da horn stop da sacrifice dat da pries guys suppose to make ery day an he throw out da true kine religion. Eryting go good fo da horn.

13 Den I hear two angel guys stay talking dat stay spesho fo God. One a dem tell, “How long gotta wait fo all da stuff in da dream happen? How long gotta wait fo da bad guys stop—da ones dat go agains God an make da Temple come pilau—fo da prieses make da sacrifice da prieses suppose to make ery day? How long da army dat stay agains God goin poun dea feet all ova da Temple an da sky army?”

14 Da odda angel guy tell, “Goin get 2,300 sacrifice times, nite time an morning time, dat dey no can make da sacrifice. Den afta dat dey goin make da Temple come spesho fo God one mo time.”

Wat Anodda Dream Mean

15 Me, Daniel, I still try fo undastan dis ting, dass jalike one dream. An right den an dea, somebody stan in front me dat look jalike one guy. 16 ✡An I hear somebody call from da Ulai Canal, “Eh Gabriel, help dis guy figga wat da stuff he see, mean.”

17 Gabriel come nea da place wea I stay stan. I come real sked an fall down on top da groun in front him. He tell, “You one Fo Real Kine Guy, an you gotta undastan, dat wat you see in dis dream, tell bout da end a da world.”

18 Wen he stay talk to me, I pass out, wit my face on top da groun. Den Gabriel touch me an lif me up fo me stan up one mo time. 19 He tell, “I stay hea fo help you undastan wass goin happen bumbye, wen God goin show dat he stay real huhu an tell ‘Laytas’ to wat peopo do. Wat you wen see, goin happen litto bit befo da time da world end. 20 Da ram wit da two horn dat you wen see, dass jalike da king guys fo da Mede an Persia guys. 21 Da hairy goat, dass da king guy fo Greece. Da big horn in da middo a his two eyes, dass da firs king fo dea big empire. 22 Da four horns dat come up wen da firs horn broke off, dass four king kine lines dat goin take ova afta da firs king. But dey no goin get da same kine powa jalike da firs one.

23 “Wen dose king lines almos pau, an da peopo dat go agains God do all da bad kine tings dey can do, one king wit one skery kine face dat know how fo trick peopo goin take ova. 24 He goin come real strong, but not from his powa. He goin wipe out plenny stuffs all ova da place. Wateva he do, goin come out good fo him. He goin wipe out da real strong guys an da peopo dat stay spesho fo God. 25 He goin know how fo bulai peopo. He goin tink he mo betta den erybody. Wen peopo tink eryting stay okay, he goin wipe out plenny a dem. An he even goin go agains da King ova all da king guys. But goin get somebody dat goin smash him, an whoeva do dat no goin be one guy.

26 “Da ting you wen see, bout da sacrifices fo nite time an morning time—wat you wen hear, az goin happen fo shua! But put one seal on top um fo stay secret, cuz goin be long time befo all dis stuff happen.”

27 Me, Daniel, afta I see all dis, I come weak an come sick fo days. Den I get up an do my job fo da king. I stay bum out cuz a da dream, az cuz da dream blow my mind.

(Jeremiah 25:11-12)

1 Darius, Xerxes boy from da Mede peopo, come da king fo da Babylon land. 2 ✡Da firs year he stay king, me, Daniel, I stay study my books bout God dat year. I try fo figga out wat Da One In Charge mean, wen he tell Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo him, dat afta Jerusalem come bus up an erybody bag, den Jerusalem goin stay all bus up fo seventy year. 3 Az why I no eat so I can pray, an put on burmbag kine clotheses an put ash on top my head cuz I stay real sore inside. I tink ony bout God, my Boss, an I pray. I beg him fo help me.

Daniel Pray Fo His Peopo

4 I tell my God, Da One In Charge, I know wat oua peopo wen do wass wrong. Dis how I pray:

“Bummahs, Boss, you da big God! You awesome an unreal! Wen you make one deal, you do eryting you wen tell you goin do. You stay tight wit da peopo dat get love an aloha fo you an dey lissen wat you tell um fo do. 5 But us guys wen go buckaloose an do bad kine tings. Us guys do wass wrong. Us guys do da kine stuff we not suppose to do. Us guys go agains you, Da One In Charge, an us make deaf ear fo wat you tell us fo do. We wen bag from da rules you make dat show us wass right an wass wrong cuz you da Judge. 6 We neva lissen da guys dat work fo you an talk fo you. Dey talk fo you cuz dey know wat kine god you. Dey wen talk to oua king guys, oua leada guys, an oua ancesta guys, an all da odda peopo inside da land.

7 “Boss, you do da right ting erytime. But today, even mo den befo time, us guys get plenny shame an lose face cuz a wat us wen do. Us peopo from Judah an Jerusalem an all ova Israel, no matta we stay nea o far, us wen broke yoa rules an no stay tight wit you. An same ting inside all da odda lands wea you wen make us go. 8 Da One In Charge, us an oua king guys, oua leada guys, an oua ancesta guys get plenny shame cuz we wen do bad kine stuff agains you. 9 God, you da Boss. You da One show pity an let us go, no matta us wen go agains you. 10 Us neva lissen you, oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us, fo live da way you wen teach us, da way yoa worka guys dat talk fo you wen tell us. 11 All da Israel peopo wen make deaf ear fo da rules you wen teach, an go da odda way from you, an tell dat dey no goin lissen you.

“Az why, jalike you wen drop on top us guys all da bad tings dat Moses yoa worka guy wen write down inside da rules. You wen make one promise dat dese bad tings goin happen if us guys no do da tings we wen make one deal wit you fo do. All dat bad stuff stay happen to us cuz we do bad kine stuff agains you. 12 You make happen da stuff you wen tell you goin do fo punish us an oua govmen guys wen you make happen all dis bad kine stuff to us. All ova da world, no mo nobody eva do notting lidis befo, jalike you wen do to Jerusalem. 13 Jalike Moses wen write inside da Rules, all dis bad kine stuff wen happen to us guys. But still yet we no come back to you, oua God, Da One In Charge a us. Us guys still yet stay do da bad kine stuff. An we no tink bout how eryting you tell stay true. 14 You, oua God, dass Da One In Charge, you no wait fo drop da bad kine stuff on top us, cuz you do da right ting erytime. But still yet we no lissen you.

15 “Da way I figga, you oua Boss an oua God! You wen bring yoa peopo outa Egypt wit yoa strong powa. You wen do dat fo let erybody know from dat time till now, wat kine god you. But us guys do bad kine tings. We no do how we suppose to do. 16 Boss, you do eryting right. So I tell I like you fo pau stay huhu agains us guys, an no stay mad no moa. We come from Jerusalem, yoa big town, da hill dat stay spesho fo you. All da peopo aroun us stay laugh at us guys an poin finga us cuz a all da bad kine stuff we stay do, an da bad kine stuff oua ancesta guys wen do.

17 “But God, I yoa worka guy, an I stay pray to you an aks you fo lissen me. Cuz a who you, Boss, try smile an do good kine stuff fo yoa spesho temple, dat stay all bus up, an fo da peopo wen bag from dea.

18 “God, try lissen. An try open yoa eyes an look how us stay all bus up! Try look yoa bus up big town, Jerusalem, dat carry yoa name! Cuz us stay pray an aks you fo do dis. Az not cuz us guys do da right kine stuff, but cuz you give plenny chance!

19 “Boss, try lissen! Boss, hemo oua shame an let us go! Boss, try lissen, an do um! My God, cuz a who you, no wait! Cuz yoa big town an yoa peopo, dey carry yoa name!”

Seventy Times Seven

20 I stay pray an tell God all da bad kine stuff I wen do, an all da bad kine stuff my Israel peopo wen do. I tell my God, Da One In Charge, fo make da hill dat stay spesho fo him come good one mo time. 21 ✡Befo I pau pray, Gabriel, da angel guy dat look jalike one regula guy dat I wen see in my odda dream da firs time, wen come fly fas fo reach me. Dat happen late aftanoon time, da same time da pries guys stay make sacrifice. 22 He tell me, “Eh Daniel! I come hea fo help you undastan wass happening. 23 Wen you wen start fo pray, God ansa you. Az why I come hea fo tell you dis cuz he tink real good bout you. So, tink bout wat I goin tell, an try fo undastan wat you wen see:

24 “Seventy times seven year, az da time God wen make fo yoa peopo an fo yoa town dat stay spesho fo God:

fo make da peopo dat go agains God stop,

fo make da ones stay do bad kine stuff stop,

fo make sacrifice, fo make da peopo dat do wass wrong come pono wit God,

fo make dem do da right kine stuff all da time,

fo put seal fo show dat wat da guy dat talk fo God dream stay fo real,

an fo make da Real Real Spesho Place inside da Temple come spesho fo God one mo time.

25 “Know dis an tink plenny bout um: From da time da message come fo go build Jerusalem town one mo time, till one guy come dat God goin pick fo lead da peopo. Dat goin be seven times seven year, an den sixty-two times seven year. Dey goin build Jerusalem town wit open spaces inside an one real strong wall, no matta goin get big trouble dat time.

26 “Afta da sixty-two times seven year, somebody goin kill da one dat God wen pick. He no goin get nobody his side. Goin get one leada dat goin come wit his army. Dey goin wipe out Jerusalem town an da Temple dat stay spesho fo God. Den da end goin come quick, jalike wen one flood come. Goin get war till da end, an erybody goin bag an eryting goin come wipe out. 27 ✡Da leada dat come goin make good one solid deal wit plenny peopos fo seven year. But in da middo a da seven year, he goin stop all kine sacrifice. On top one end a da temple he goin put up idol kine gods dat God hate plenny. Wat he goin do so horraz, goin make eryting come hamajang, an make erybody bag from dea, till da time dat God tell he goin make him stop.”

2 Da time da message come, me, Daniel, I stay feel sore inside fo three week. 3 I no eat good kine food like meat o wine, an I no comb my hair wit oil, till da three weeks pau.

4 April 23, I stay stan on top da side a da big Tigris Riva. 5 ✡I look up, an ova dea in front me get one guy wit linen kine clotheses. He get one fancy gold belt aroun his wais. 6 His body look jalike da yellow jasper jewel stone, his face look jalike da lightning, his eyes jalike torches dat stay burn, his arms an feets shine like bronze metal afta peopo polish um. His voice soun jalike from plenny peopo.

7 Me, Daniel, I da ony one dat wen see dis ting. Da guys dat stay wit me neva see um, but dey come real sked, an dey run away fo hide. 8 So I stay dea, da guys run away, an I da ony one dat see dis importan ting dat stay jalike one dream. I come weak. I even look jalike I stay wipe out. I no can do notting. 9 Den I hear da awesome guy talk, an wen I lissen him, I pass out an my face stay on top da groun.

10 Den somebody touch me an pull me up wit his hand, an put me on top my hands an knees, an I stay shaking. 11 Da guy tell, “Eh Daniel! God get plenny love an aloha fo you! Tink plenny bout wat I goin tell you now! Stan up, cuz God sen me by you now!” Wen he tell me dat, I stan up, still shaking.

12 Den he tell me, “No sked, Daniel. Cuz from da firs day dat you wen try fo undastand da message from God, an fo no get one big head in front yoa God, he wen hear wat you tell. I come hea now cuz a wat you tell. 13 ✡But da bad spirit dat stay in charge a da Persia land, he no let me come hea fo twenny-one days. Den Michael, one a da main angel guys, come fo help me cuz I stay stuck ova dea by da Persia king guys. 14 Now, I stay come hea fo help you undastan wat goin happen to yoa peopo long time from now. Da ting you see jalike one dream, tell bout one time dat still yet goin come.”

15 Wen he stay tell me all dis stuff, I look down on da groun, an no can talk notting. 16 Den somebody dat look jalike one guy touch my lips. I open my mout an I can talk one mo time! I tell da one standing in front me, “Boss, cuz a wat I wen see, I no feel good inside, an I no can do notting! 17 Boss, I yoa worka guy, but I no can even talk to you now! I stay weak, an I almos no can breave.”

18 Den da one dat look jalike one guy touch me one mo time an make me come strong one mo time. 19 He tell: “God get plenny love an aloha fo you! So, no sked! Eryting goin go good fo you! Come strong now, come strong!”

Wen he talk to me, I come mo strong. I tell, “Boss, talk to me now cuz you make me come strong.”

20 So he tell, “You know how come I stay come by you? Pretty soon I goin go back fo make war agains da bad spirit dat stay in charge a Persia. Wen I pau dea, den da bad spirit dat stay in charge a Greece goin come. 21 But still yet, I goin tell you wat stay write inside da Book Dat Tell Da Trut. (Gabriel tell: No mo nobody help me agains dose bad spirits dat stay in charge a da odda countries. Ony Michael, da main angel guy fo you Israel guys, he help me.”

11

1 “From da year numba one wen Darius da Mede guy stay king inside Persia, me Gabriel stay stan wit da angel guy Michael fo help Darius, so no mo nobody hurt him.”)

Da Kings From Da South An Da North

2 “Wat I goin tell you now, stay true too: Goin get three mo kings come king inside Persia. Den king numba four goin come. He goin come mo rich den da odda three king guys. Da rich kine stuffs he get, he goin use um fo get mo powa den da kings befo him. Wen he like make war agains Greece, da peopo goin follow him.

3 “Laytas, one king goin come dat know how fo fight fo real kine. He goin get plenny powa, an goin take charge a da Greece peopo. Cuz a dat, he do wateva he like. 4 Afta he mahke, his peopo goin broke up in four part, an da land wea he was king goin come four countries. Da ones dat come kings fo dose countries, no goin be from his blood, an da countries no goin be da same jalike wen he was king. But odda guys goin grab da land wea he was da king, an take ova da new countries.

5 “Da king fo da south part, dass Egypt, goin come strong. But one a his army general guys goin come mo strong den him. An he goin take ova Syria side an come king too. He goin get mo plenny land den da Egypt guy.

6 “Bumbye, da Egypt king an da Syria king goin make one deal fo help each odda. One princess from da south goin marry da king fo da north fo make good da deal. But she no goin keep da powa she get an no goin stay strong. An da king fo da Syria land north side no goin be strong too. Goin get one time wen odda peopo goin come an throw out her, da one dat wen marry her, her boy, an da guy dat wen help her. An dey goin kill um all. 7 Laytas, one guy from da princess ohana goin come fo do wat she no can do. He goin attack da Syria king army north side an go inside his strong wall. He goin fight da north side guys an win. 8 He goin take stuffs from dea gods an dea god statues dat dey melt metal fo make um, an dea nice tings, dea silva an gold stuffs, an take um Egypt side. Fo short time afta dat, he no goin bodda da king fo da north side.

9 “Den anodda Syria king north side an his army goin attack da Egypt king land, south side. Afta dat, da north side guys goin go back dea land. 10 Da Syria king boys goin make ready fo make war, an put togedda one big army dat know how fo fight good. Dey goin attack da king fo da south, jalike one big flood dat nobody can stop. Dey goin fight all da way to da main place dat get strong wall wea da Egypt king stay. 11 Den da Egypt king, south side, goin get real huhu. He goin go out an make war agains da Syria king, north side. Da Syria king goin put togedda one big army too, but da Egypt guy goin take ova dem. 12 Da Egypt king goin make da Syria army guys come his prisonas. Den, da Egypt king goin get big head, an goin kill plenny tousan Syria guys. But he no goin win dat war yet.

13 “Az cuz da Syria king, north side, goin put togedda anodda army, mo big den da firs army. Plenny year layta, he goin go out wit one big army, wit all da stuffs dey need fo make war. 14 Dat time, plenny guys goin fight da Egypt king, south side. Eh Daniel, even some a yoa Jew guys dat like fight erytime goin fight da Egypt king cuz yoa guys get one dream fo make dea govmen. But dey no goin be strong enuff fo win. 15 Den da Syria king, north side, goin come pile up dirt fo go ova da wall fo one big town dat get strong wall, Egypt side. He goin take ova da town. Da army fo da Egypt king, south side, no goin get enuff powa fo fight da Syria king. Even dea bestes guys from da Egypt army, no goin be strong enuff fo fight dem.

16 “Da Syria king dat fight dem goin do wateva he like do. No goin get nobody from da Egypt army can fight da Syria army. Da Syria king goin take ova da Israel land dat mo nice looking. An he goin get da powa fo wipe out dat whole land. 17 Da Syria king goin make up his mind fo go south side wit all da powa he get cuz he da king. He goin make one deal fo no fight da Egypt king. He goin give one Syria wahine fo da Egypt king marry. He do dis cuz he stay plan fo use her fo wipe out da Egypt land. But da deal da Syria king stay make no goin work, an da plan no goin help him.

18 “Laytas, da Syria king goin attack da peopos dat live by da ocean an on top da islans. He goin make plenny a dem prisonas.

“But goin get one army leada guy from anodda place dat goin make da Syria king change his plan, no matta he no mo respeck fo nobody. Cuz a dat, da Syria king goin come da guy dat nobody get respeck fo! 19 So afta dis, da Syria king goin back to da strong wall inside his land. But bumbye he goin come weak, so dat nobody goin worry bout him an no goin see um one mo time no moa.

20 “Da king guy dat goin take ova afta him goin sen one guy all ova his land fo colleck tax fo make him still look good. He goin make real hard time fo da peopo. Cuz a dat, nobody goin get respeck fo da king, an afta two-three year, he goin lose powa. Da peopo goin kick um out, but not cuz dey huhu, o cuz dey fight him.

21 “Den, goin get one guy dat erybody know he no good. No mo nobody show him respeck, jalike he get da right fo be king fo real kine. But still yet, he goin take ova an come king. Wen erybody tink eryting stay okay fo dem, dis guy goin attack Syria. He goin bulai da peopo wit plenny good kine promise, den he goin grab dem an take ova. 22 Den he goin wipe out one mangus army, an take da powa from da pries guy dat stay in charge a da deal God wen make wit his peopo. 23 He goin make all kine promise to da peopo fo help dem an dey goin make one promise fo help him. But afta he do dat, he goin bulai dem. Az how he goin come mo an mo strong wit ony litto bit peopo fo help him. 24 Wen erybody tink eryting stay good, dis guy goin take ova da places inside da districk wea da bestes kine food grow. He goin take ova lands, da ones his faddah an ancesta guys neva take ova. He goin take all kine stuffs from ova dea, an give his frenz all da rich kine stuffs dat he take away from da odda peopos. He goin make plan fo take ova plenny big towns dat get strong wall, an he goin do um one by one.

25 “Wit one big army, dis Syria king north side goin make his army strong an ready fo fight. Den he goin fight da Egypt king south side. So da Egypt king an his big strong army goin make war. But cuz da Syria king make one sneaky plan agains da south side, da Egypt king no goin win. 26 Da palace guys dat eat da fancy kine food da Egypt king give um, dey goin try fo wipe out da Egypt king. An da Syria army guys goin push his army guys back, jalike one flood. Plenny guys goin mahke wen dey make war. 27 Den da two king guys goin sit down at da same table an eat togedda. But inside dem, dey stay plan fo do bad kine stuff to each odda. Dey goin bulai each odda. But dea plans no goin come out good fo dem, cuz still yet all dis goin come pau ony wen God tell az time fo come pau.

28 “Wen da Syria king start fo go back his land, north side, he goin bring back rich kine stuffs he wen take from Egypt side. But he make up his mind fo jam up da spesho deal God wen make wit his Jew guys. He goin do wat he like do agains da deal wit God an den go back his land.

29 “Da time come wen God tell, da Syria king goin go agains da south one mo time, but dis time, goin come out diffren den befoa. 30 Da navy boat guys from da west side goin go agains him. An cuz a dat, da Syria king no goin like fight no mo an go back home. He goin talk real bad agains God spesho deal, an do any kine agains God. Wen he go home, he goin make nice an lissen da peopo dat no like God spesho deal. 31 ✡Army guys from da Syria king goin go inside da strong wall aroun da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. Dey no goin let da pries guys make sacrifices dey suppose to make ery day.

Dey wen broke da deal awready fo come God side. But da peopo dat know God fo real kine goin come strong an hang in dea, an dey goin fight.

33 “Da leada guys dat undastan wass happening, dey goin teach plenny peopo fo help dem undastan too. But goin get one time, dey goin get plenny problem, cuz da Syria guys goin kill dose leada guys wit swords, o wit fire. Dey goin catch da leadas an throw um in jail an goin take all dea stuffs. 34 Wen all dis stuff happen to da Jew leada guys, goin get peopo dat help dem litto bit. Plenny odda peopo goin go wit dem an make one promise fo help, but dey no goin do notting. 35 Some a da leada guys dat undastan how come all dis stay happen, dey goin suffa. Az goin be jalike one tes fo da peopo fo make um come clean inside, an no mo notting bad goin stay wit dem. Goin stay lidis till jus da right time.

Da King Dat Like Come Big

36 ✡“Da Syria king goin do watevas he like do. He goin ack jalike he mo big den all da gods. He goin talk mo bad den da peopo eva hear befo, agains da God Dass Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods. An eryting goin go good fo him till da time wen God punish him. Cuz wat God tell gotta happen goin happen fo shua. 37 Da king no goin show respeck fo da gods his ancesta guys wen pray to, o fo da god da wahines like. He no mo respeck fo all da gods. Az cuz he tink he mo big den all da gods. 38 Mo den dat, he goin show respeck fo da god fo da strong wall, one god his ancesta guys neva know. He goin show respeck fo dis god wit gold an silva, an da kine jewel stones dat cost plenny, an odda rich kine presents. 39 He goin attack da towns dat get da mos strong wall an one god from anodda place goin help him. He goin show plenny respeck fo da peopo dat tell he da numba one guy. He goin put um in charge a plenny peopo. He goin give dem guys land if dey pay him.

40 “Wen dat time pau, da Egypt king south side goin try fo push back da Syria king north side.

Dey goin attack plenny diffren lands an go thru dem jalike one big flood. 41 He goin attack da Beautiful Land too.

1 ✡Da angel messenja guy tell me dis: “Dat time, Michael, da importan angel prince, da one dat take kea yoa peopo, he goin go by you guys fo take kea you. Goin get one time yoa peopo all presha out, mo den da time yoa peopo wen come one nation firs time, till dat time. But dass da time wen yoa peopo, da ones dat get dea name inside God book, goin get outa trouble. 2 ✡Plenny peopo dat stay mahke, jalike dey stay sleep unda da groun, dey goin come alive one mo time, jalike dey wake up. Some a dem goin come alive fo get da kine life dat stay foeva. Odda peopo goin come alive fo come shame foeva, an odda peopo goin feel pilau wen dey even tink bout dem. 3 Da ones dat know how come dese tings happen, dey goin shine jalike da sky get plenny light. An da ones dat help plenny peopo fo do da right kine tings, dey goin shine jalike da stars foeva an eva. 4 ✡But you, Daniel, put seal on top da roll up sheep skin, fo eryting inside stay secret till da world pau. Plenny peopo goin run aroun dis side an dat side fo try find out mo plenny bout all dis stuff.”

Da End

5 Den me, Daniel, I look. Right dea in front me, two odda guys stay stan! One guy stay stan on top one side a da riva, an da odda guy stay stan on top da odda side a da riva. 6 One a dem tell da angel guy dat get da linen clotheses, dat stay up da riva, “How long goin be till all dis stuff happen an make erybody jaws drop?”

7 ✡Da guy wit da linen kine clotheses, dat stay up da riva, put his two hands up to da sky. I hear him make one strong promise in front God dat stay live foeva. He tell, “Goin be three an a half year till dat time come. Wen da one dat make big kine trouble pau take away da powa from da peopo dat stay spesho fo God, all da stuff I wen tell you goin come pau too.”

8 Me, Daniel, I hear wat da guy tell, but I no undastan. So I tell, “Boss, wat goin happen afta all dis kine stuff pau?”

9 He tell, “Daniel, dass not yoa kuleana. Go awready. No aks mo question. Cuz all dis stuff stay secret till da world pau.

10 ✡“Plenny peopo goin clean up

All da bad kine stuff dey get inside,

So no mo notting bad goin stay inside dem.

All dat goin be jalike one tes

Fo make shua dey stay clean inside.

But da bad kine guys goin still stay do bad kine stuff.

No goin get nobody from da bad kine guys

Dat goin undastan.

But da leada guys dat know how come all dis stay happen,

Dey goin undastan.

11 ✡“From da time da bad leada guy no let da peopo make sacrifices fo ery day, an he put up da idol kine gods dat God hate plenny inside da Temple, an jam up eryting an make erybody bag from dea, goin be 1,290 days. 12 But da peopo dat can wait, an hang in dea till da end a da 1,335 days, dey goin stay good inside!

13 “An you, Daniel, go do yoa work till da day you mahke. Den you goin res. An wen da world pau, you goin come back alive an get yoa share a da good tings God get fo his peopo.”

God Stay Tight Wit His Peopo

1 ✡Dis da message Da One In Charge give Hosea, Beeri boy. Dat time Uzziah, Jotam, Ahaz, an Hezekiah stay king fo da Judah peopo. An Jeroboam Numba Two, Jehoash boy, he stay king fo da Israel peopo.

Hosea Wife An Kids

(Rome 9:27-28; 1 Peter 2:10)

2 Wen Da One In Charge start fo use Hosea fo talk to da Israel peopo, he tell Hosea, “Go marry one hoa, so some a her kids goin come from guys dat not her husban. Dass fo show dat da Israel peopo, same way dey tell ‘Laytas’ to me an fool aroun wit odda gods!”

3 So Hosea marry Gomer, Diblaim girl. She come hapai an born one bebe boy fo Hosea. 4 ✡Den Da One In Charge tell Hosea, “Give him da name Jezreel. Dat mean ‘God scatta.’ Az cuz pretty soon I goin punish da Jehu ohana, cuz dey wen kill plenny peopo Jezreel side. Den I goin make da blood line fo da Israel king guys come pau. 5 Dat same time, I goin broke da bows an arrows fo da Israel peopo inside da Jezreel Valley.”

6 Gomer come hapai one mo time, an born one bebe girl. Da One In Charge tell Hosea, “Give her da name Lo-Ruhamah. Dat mean ‘Nobody pity her.’ Cuz I no goin show pity fo da Israel ohana no moa. An I no goin take away dea blame no moa. 7 Mo betta, I goin show pity fo da Judah ohana, an I goin get dem outa trouble. But I no goin do dat wit bows an arrows, o swords, o war, o wit da guys dat ride da horses. I dea God, Da One In Charge, so I no goin need all dat fo me get um outa trouble.”

8 Afta Gomer pau breas feed Lo-Ruhamah, she born one nodda bebe, one boy. 9 Da One In Charge tell, “Give him da name Lo-Ammi. Dat mean, ‘Not my peopo.’ Cuz you guys no goin be my peopo no moa, an I no goin be yoa God no moa. 10 ✡Bumbye da Israel peopo goin come plenny, jalike da sand on top da beach dat you no can eva count o measure um. But inside da same place wea I wen tell dem, ‘You guys not my peopo no moa,’ laytas peopo goin call dem ‘da peopo dat stay tight wit da God dat stay alive.’ 11 Den da Judah peopo an da Israel peopo goin come back togedda one mo time. Dey goin pick one leada. An dey goin come up outa da land wea dey stay. Dass goin be one real importan time fo da Jezreel peopo, cuz Jezreel mean ‘God plant’ too. God goin plant dem inside dis country one mo time!”

God Punish Da Israel Peopo
An Bring Dem Back

(Rome 9:25-26; 1 Peter 2:10)

1 Da One In Charge tell Hosea: “Give yoa Israel braddahs one new name, ‘My peopo,’ an yoa Israel sistahs, ‘Da ones I pity.’

2 “But now, Tell yoa kids fo scold dea muddah good,

(Her, da Israel peopo, you know.)

Cuz her not my wife,

An me not her husban.

Her gotta no look jalike one hoa,

An her gotta pau sleep wit odda guys

On top her breases.

3 If she no pau make lidat,

Den I goin make her come naked

Jalike da day she wen born.

I goin make her come jalike da boonies

An jalike da dry land.

An den she goin come thirsty an mahke.

4 I no goin show love an pity fo her kids.

Cuz dey wen born afta she fool aroun.

5 Wen dea muddah fool aroun.

She come hapai but she no mo shame.

She tell, ‘I goin go afta da guys dat make sex wit me,

Da ones dat give me my food an watta,

6 Az why me Da One In Charge

Goin block her way wit thorn bushes.

I goin make jalike one wall aroun her so she no can find wea fo go.

7 She goin chase afta da guys dat make sex wit her,

But she no goin catch um up.

She goin look fo dem,

But she no goin find dem.

Den she goin tell,

‘Eh! Wase time awready!

I goin go back by my firs husban,

Cuz wen I stay wit him,

Eryting mo betta den now.’

8 “But she neva know I da one

Wen give her da wheat an barley, da new wine, an da olive oil.

I da one wen give her plenny silva an gold,

Dat her an da guys dat make sex wit her go use um fo da Baal god.

9 “Az why I goin take away my wheat an barley wen come ripe

An my new wine wen stay ready.

I goin take back my wool an my linen cloth

Dat suppose to cova her wen she stay naked.

10 So now I goin show erybody how she make shame

Wen da guys dat make sex wit her stay watch.

Den no mo nobody goin take her outa my powa.

11 I goin stop all her religious ceremonies,

Da spesho times she make ery year,

Da new moon spesho times, da Res Days,

An all da odda spesho religious ceremonies.

12 I goin wipe out her grape plants an her fig trees

Dat she tink, ‘Da guys dat make sex wit me wen give me dis fo pay me!’

I goin make her trees grow thick togedda

Fo ony da wild animals eat all da fruits.

13 I goin punish her fo all da times

She go burn incense fo da Baal idols.

She put on plenny rings an jewelry.

She go wit da guys dat make sex wit her,

But she foget bout me.”

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

14 “Az why bumbye I goin make her like fo go wit me.

I goin lead her back inside da boonies,

An talk nice to her.

15 ✡Ova dea I goin give her back her grape fields.

I goin make Trouble Valley come Da Place

Wea Fo Shua Someting Good Goin Happen.

An ova dea she goin sing to me jalike wen she stay young.

Jalike da time I bring up outa Egypt.”

16 Da One In Charge tell, “Dat time, you goin call me, ‘my husban.’

You no goin call me, ‘my boss’ no moa.

17 I goin take away da names fo da Baal gods from her mout.

She no goin talk bout dem no moa.

18 Dat time I goin make one deal

Wit da wild animals inside da fields,

Da birds inside da sky,

An da small animals dat move aroun on top da groun.

I goin take away da bows an arrows, da swords, an wars from da land.

Den erybody can live an no mo notting goin hurt dem.

19 I goin make you my wife foeva.

I goin do eryting da right way, jalike da judge tell.

I goin stay tight wit you, an show love an pity fo you.

20 I goin marry you an you goin trus me.

An you goin know who me fo shua,

Da One In Charge.”

21 Da One In Charge tell, “Dat time, I goin lissen da sky.

An da sky goin lissen da groun an make rain.

22 Den I goin lissen wat da earth like me fo do,

An I going plant wheat an barley, grape fo new wine, an trees fo olive oil.

Fo make da Jezreel Valley peopo get plenny food.

23 ✡I goin plant da Israel peopo inside da land fo be my peopo.

I goin show love an pity fo da ones I wen call um Lo-Ruhamah, dat mean ‘nobody pity dem.’

An fo da ones dat I wen call um Lo-Ammi, dat mean ‘dey not my peopo,’

But I goin tell um, ‘Now you my peopo!’

An dey goin tell, ‘You oua God.’ ”

Hosea Come Back Togedda Wit His Wife

1 Da One In Charge tell me, “Go show yoa wife one mo time dat you get love an aloha fo her, no matta anodda guy love her an she stay fool aroun wit him. Go love her, jalike me Da One In Charge still love da Israel peopo, no matta dey turn away an go wit odda gods, an dey plenny ono fo eat da raisin cakes from da ceremonies fo da odda gods.”

4 Dass jalike one picha: Da Israel peopo goin stay long time. An all dat time, dey no goin get one king o prince, an dey no goin make sacrifice fo da odda gods. No goin get poses fo da odda gods dat stay kapu fo dem, o one spesho ves fo da Main Pries Guy, o small kine statues fo find out wat da odda gods tell. 5 An bumbye da Israel peopo goin come back an try fo know dea God, Da One In Charge, an dea king dat come from King David blood line. Dey goin shake cuz dey sked, an get choke plenny respeck fo me, Da One In Charge. An dat time I goin do plenny good kine stuff fo dem.

7 So me, Zekariah, I take kea da sheeps dey goin kill fo eat, fo help even da sheeps dat get trouble. Den I take two sticks fo walk, da kine da sheep guys use. I call one stick “I like um,” an call da odda stick “Come togedda.” Dass how I take kea da sheeps. 8 In one month, I throw out three odda guys dat take kea da sheeps. I come tired wit dem, an dey come bum out cuz a me. 9 I tell um, “I no goin take kea you guys sheeps no moa. Da sheeps dat stay die, let um mahke. Da sheeps dat stay come wipe out, let um come wipe out. Da sheeps dat still yet stay alive, dey can eat each odda.”

10 Den I take da stick fo walk dat I call “I like um,” an broke um. Dat show dat da deal I wen make wit all da peopos no stay good no moa. 11 Right den, dat same day, da deal come no good. So da guys dat goin lose money cuz a wat I wen do wit dea sheeps, dey stay watch me. Dey know dat wat I wen do, az was jalike one message from Da One In Charge.

So I take da money an throw um inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge fo da guy dat make clay pots. 14 Den I broke my odda stick dat I call “Dey come togedda.” Dat mean, da Judah peopo south side an da Israel peopo no stay braddahs no moa.

But da peopo dat come from Jacob, da Israel peopo, dey da ones I get love an aloha fo! 3 Da Esau peopo, I hate dem. I make dea mountains all bus up fo nobody live ova dea. I make dea land come one place ony da wild jackal dogs live.

4 “Da Esau peopo dat live inside da Edom land tell: Us guys stay all bus up, but we goin come back an build eryting dat wen get smash!

“But me, Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies, I tell: Wateva dey goin build, I goin bus um up. Wen odda peopos talk bout dem, dey goin call da Esau land ‘da land wea peopo dat do bad kine stuff stay,’ an ‘da peopo dat Da One In Charge put kahuna on top dem foeva’ 5 An you Israel peopo goin see all dat happen, an you goin tell: ‘Eh!

Me, Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies, an dass wat I stay tell you guys.”

But you pries guys tell, “Tell us, how us guys talk bad bout you?!”

7 Da One In Charge tell: “You bring pilau kine food, erytime you bring food by da altar fo make one sacrifice fo me. Same time, you guys aks me, ‘How we make pilau kine to you?’ I tell you how you make pilau kine sacrifices to me. You talk jalike az okay fo make any kine sacrifice fo me, Da One In Charge. 8 ✡You make one sacrifice wit da kine animal dat no can see. You tink az okay! You bring animals dat no can walk o dat stay sick, an you tink az right. You know you no can bring dat kine animal fo make one gif fo da govna guy! You figga he goin stay good inside if you do dat?!

But no foget, me Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies dat stay tell you dis! 9 Now you beg me fo make good to you guys, an maybe I give you guys chance, no matta you bring dat pilau kine sacrifice! How come you tink, ‘Maybe Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies, goin do good kine tings fo us guys,’ aah?! 10 Mo betta one a you guys shut da doors fo da sacrifice place.

Dass me dat tell dis, Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies. No way I goin take da gifs you guys bring!

11 “All ova, from wea da sun come up to wea da sun go down, all da peopos know I get one importan name. Dey bring stuff fo make sacrifice cuz dey know wat kine god me, an dey bring incense an da kine gifs dat no mo notting wrong wit dem. Dass cuz da diffren peopos dat know who me, dey know I importan.” Dass wat Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies tell.

12 But I tell, you pries guys, you da one make my Boss altar pilau. Da tings you guys tell, dass wat make um pilau. You guys make erybody tink da altar good fo notting an da food on top dat altar pilau.

13 Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, tell: “You guys tink, ‘Eh! Too much, dis!’ You guys ack jalike da sacrifices haunas! Den you go bring da kine animals dat da wild animals rip up, an give um to me fo one sacrifice. Da kine no can walk an stay sick. You tink I goin take um an stay good inside cuz you make lidat? I no tink so!” Dass wat Da One In Charge tell.

14 But I tell, get times wen one guy make one promise fo make one sacrifice to me, an he get one good boy kine sheep fo da sacrifice. But den da guy tink he can bulai God. Az why he ony bring one no good kine sheep fo me. But you know wat? Me, Da One In Charge, goin put kahuna on top dat guy! Cuz Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies, tell: “I da big king. Az why wen all da diffren peopos find out wat kine god me, dey show real respeck.”

Den I goin put kahuna on top you guys. Even da good tings I wen do fo you guys, I goin put kahuna fo make all dat come bad fo you guys. Dass cuz you guys no go all out fo show respeck fo me, no matta you know wat kine god me! 3 Cuz a wat you guys do, I goin tell da ones dat come from you guys az wrong wat dey do. I goin take da doodoo from da guts a da animals dat you kill fo da spesho religious ceremonies an rub um all ova yoa face. Den da pries guys goin throw you guys out wit da opala from da sacrifices. 4 ✡You guys goin know dat was me wen tell you guys take kea awready.

Dey do da right kine tings, an dey stay tight wit me. An dey help plenny peopo turn aroun fo no do bad kine stuff no moa. 7 Az why, wen da pries guys talk, dass wea you go fo learn stuff, an tell dem fo teach you da Rules From God. Cuz da pries guys, dey da messenja guys fo Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies!

8 “But you guys wen go da wrong way! Da way you guys teach, you make plenny peopo go da wrong way too! You wen jam up da deal I get wit da Levi ohana! 9 An I goin make erybody tink you guys pilau, an make you guys come shame. Cuz wit you guys, no mo nobody do da tings da way I tell um fo do um!

But Da One In Charge still yet no turn aroun an take da sacrifices you guys bring, an he no feel good cuz you bring um. 14 But you guys, you tell, “How come Da One In Charge still tink I pilau?” I tell you how come!

5 Jesus sen da twelve guys all ova, an he tell um, “No go wea da peopo dass not Jew guys stay, an no go wea da Samaria peopo stay. 6 Go by da peopo from da Israel ohana, cuz dey jalike sheeps dat stay lost. 7 An wen you guys go, teach um lidis, ‘God, da King from da sky, he stay King hea now.’ 8 Make da sick guys come good, make da mahke guys come back alive one mo time, make da lepa guys come good, an make da bad kine spirits no bodda da peopo no moa. God give you guys plenny, an he no expeck notting back. So den, you guys give plenny too, an you guys no expeck notting back. 9 Gold, o silva, o coppa money, no bring um wit you guys. 10 ✡No even take one bag fo da trip, o extra clotheses, o slippas, o one stick fo walk; cuz da peopo suppose to give da worka guy wat he need.

11 “Wen you guys go inside one big o small town, look fo one guy dea dat da peopo get respeck fo, an stay his place till you go way from dea. 12 Wen you guys go inside da guy house, tell um you dea fo bring aloha. 13 An if dat ohana show you guys respeck, den tell dem you like fo God make dem come so notting bodda dem. But if dey no show respeck, take back wat you tell God fo do fo dem. 14 ✡If no mo nobody take you guys in, an dey no like hear wat you tell, den wen you go outa dea, shake da dus off yoa feets. 15 ✡✡Dass right! Cuz wen dey stan in front God da Judge, dey goin get mo hard time den da peopo from Sodom town an Gomorrah town, da time God wen wipe um out.

So you guys gotta figga wat fo do, jalike da snakes, an no hurt nobody, jalike da doves. 17 ✡Watch out fo da guys dat goin set you up in front da main leadas, an goin whip yoa back hard inside da Jew churches. 18 Dey goin drag you guys in front govnas an kings cuz you my guys. Den you guys goin tell wat you know bout me in front dem, an in front da peopos dass not Jew guys. 19 Wen dey set you guys up lidat, no worry wat you goin tell o how you goin tell um. Ony tell wat yoa Faddah goin tell you right den an dea. 20 Dat time goin be his Spirit stay talk, not you guys.

21 ✡“One braddah goin set up his braddah fo mahke, an one faddah goin set up his kid, an kids goin fight wit dea muddah an faddah, an dey goin set um up fo mahke. 22 ✡Erybody goin hate you guys cuz you my guys. But da guy dat no give up till da hard time pau goin come out okay.

24 ✡“Da teacha, he mo importan den da guy he teach. Da boss, he mo importan den da worka. 25 ✡Az good enuff wen one guy dat stay learn come jalike his teacha, an wen one worka guy do one good job jalike his boss. So wen dey call da main guy inside da house ‘Beelzebub Da Devil,’ den fo shua dey goin call his ohana ‘Da Devil Guys’ an even mo worse tings.

No Sked Dem

(Luke 12:2-7)

26 ✡“No sked dem. Da tings dey cova an hide, erybody goin know an see um. 27 Wat I stay tell you guys in da dark, tell um wea get light too. An wat I wispa in yoa ear, stan on top da house an yell um out. 28 No sked da guys dat can make yoa body mahke, but no can make yoa spirit mahke. But you guys betta come sked a God. He can make yoa body an yoa spirit get cut off from God foeva inside Hell. 29 Dey sell two sparrow birds in da market fo one penny. But not even one sparrow bird goin fall down from da sky on top da groun if yoa Faddah no like. 30 Yoa Faddah, he even know how much hairs you get on top yoa head! 31 No sked! Cuz God know you guys worth mo den plenny sparrow birds.

Da Guy Dat Tell Da Peopo He Know Christ

(Luke 12:8-9; Micah 7:6)

32 “If get one guy dat tell in front all da peopo dat he know me, den I goin tell in front my Faddah in da sky dat I know him. 33 ✡But if get one guy dat tell in front da peopo dat he donno me, den I goin tell in front my Faddah in da sky dat I donno him.

Not Frenz, But Fighting

(Mark 8:34; Luke 12:51-53; 14:26-27; Micah 7:6)

34 “No tink dat I come hea to dis world fo make shua erybody come frenz an no fight. I no come hea fo do dat, but fo make peopo turn agains each odda an fight! 35 ✡I come hea now fo split up peopo. Jalike da Bible tell from befo time, ‘One guy goin turn agains his faddah, one girl agains her muddah, one daughtah-in-law agains her muddah-in-law. 36 You goin get guys inside yoa ohana dat stay agains you.’

37 “Whoeva get love fo his faddah o his muddah mo den he get love fo me, dass not good enuff fo him be my guy. An whoeva get love fo his boy o his girl mo den he get love fo me, dass not good enuff fo him be my guy. 38 ✡Da guy dat not ready fo go wit me an be my guy, no matta dey even goin kill um on top one cross, he not good enuff fo be my guy. 39 ✡Whoeva try hang on to his life goin lose um. An whoeva give up his life cuz he my guy, goin live fo real kine.

Da Guys Dat Goin Get Someting Good

(Mark 9:41)

40 ✡“Whoeva take you guys in an make frenz wit you guys, dey goin take me in too, an I goin make frenz wit dem. An whoeva take me in an make frenz wit me, dey goin take in da One dat wen sen me too, an he goin make frenz wit dem. 41 Whoeva take in one guy dat talk fo God an make frenz wit him, jus cuz he talk fo God, God goin have plenny good kine stuff bumbye in da sky fo dem, jalike dey was guys dat talk fo God too. Whoeva take in one good guy an make frenz wit him, jus cuz he one good guy, God goin have plenny good kine stuff bumbye in da sky fo dem, jalike dey was one good guy too. 42 Whoeva give one guy dat I stay teach hea even one drink cold watta, jus cuz he one guy I stay teach, no matta he ony one regula guy, I tell you guys fo shua, God goin have plenny good kine stuff bumbye in da sky fo him.”

Da Guys John Da Baptiza Guy Sen

(Luke 7:18-35; Outa Egypt 23:20; Isaiah 35:5-6; 42:18; 61:1; Malakai 3:1)

2 Same time, John Da Baptiza Guy, he stay in prison. He hear bout all da stuff Jesus stay do. (Jesus da Christ Guy, you know, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen.) So John sen his guys fo talk to Jesus. 3 Dey tell him, “Eh, you da guy suppose to come, o wat? O we suppose to wait fo anodda guy fo come?”

4 Jesus tell um, “Go, tell John wat you guys stay hear an see. 5 ✡Had guys dat no can see, now dey can see. Had guys dat no can walk, now dey can walk. Had lepa guys, now dey no mo sick. Had guys dat no can hear, now dey can hear. Had guys dat wen mahke, now dey stay walk aroun. Da peopo dat no mo notting, now dey hear all da Good Kine Stuff From God dat I stay teach um. 6 An if da tings I do no bodda you, den you goin feel good inside.”

7 Afta John guys start fo go way from ova dea, Jesus tell all da peopo bout John. He tell um, “Dat time you guys go inside da boonies fo see John, how come you wen go? Was fo look da wind stay blow da grass? No way! 8 Den, wat you go ova dea fo see? One guy wit fancy kine clotheses, o wat? You know wat? Da guys dat wear fancy kine clotheses stay inside da king palace. 9 If not dat, wat you go ova dea fo see? One guy dat talk fo God, o wat? I tell you guys dat John, he mo den one guy dat talk fo God. 10 ✡Dis da guy da Bible wen talk bout befo time, dat time God tell his Spesho Guy,

“ ‘Eh! Try lissen dis!

I goin sen my messenja guy befo you.

He goin make eryting ready fo you,

Befo you come ova dea.’

11 “Dass right! An I like tell you guys dis too: From all da peopo dat live befo time, no mo nobody mo importan den John Da Baptiza Guy. But now, even da mostes small kine guy dat get God fo his King, he mo importan den John.

12 ✡“From da firs time John Da Baptiza Guy start fo teach till now, da peopo dat get God fo dea king stay come mo an mo strong. An get guys dat like beef fo take um ova. 13 Befo John show up ova dea, all da guys dat talk fo God befo time talk bout God da king. An da Rules Moses wen write talk bout um too. 14 ✡Dis guy John, he da guy dey tell goin come, jus like Elijah. You tink you guys can handle dat, o wat? 15 You guys get ears fo hear, so you betta lissen up!

16 “But peopo nowdays, how dey stay? Dey jalike da kids dat stay sit inside da open market place, an yell to dea frenz,

17 “ ‘Eh! Us guys make music fo you guys,

But you no dance!

Us guys cry,

But you guys no come sad fo us!’

18 “Same ting, wen John Da Baptiza Guy show up, he no eat so he can pray plenny, an he no drink wine. Dass how come peopo tell, ‘Eh, he get one bad kine spirit in charge a him!’ 19 But try go figga dis: Me, I da Fo Real Kine Guy. I eat, I drink, an dey tell, ‘You know wat? Dis guy erytime stay eating an drinking! He frenz wit da guys dat colleck tax money fo da govmen, an da odda kine peopo dat get one bad rep jalike dem.’ But eh! you know wat? Da guy dat get da smarts from God, da tings he do, goin show proof dat he right.”

Da Peopo From Some Towns
No Trus Jesus

(Luke 10:13-15; Isaiah 14:13, 15)

20 Den Jesus scold da peopo from all da towns wea he wen show his powa, cuz dey not sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey stay do, an dey still yet stay do um. 21 ✡He tell, “Wassamatta you guys?! You guys from Korazin town, an you guys from Betsaida town! I neva show my powa to da Tyre an Sidon guys da way I wen show um to you guys. Az why dem Tyre an Sidon guys neva come sorry fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an no even come shame fo all dat. If dey wen see my powa da way you guys wen see um, dey put on burmbag clotheses an throw ash on top dea head fo erybody know dey sorry real quick, but dey neva do dat. But you guys wen see my powa fo real kine, an you still yet no stay sorry! 22 But I stay tell you guys now, bumbye goin be mo easy fo da Tyre an Sidon peopo wen dey gotta stan in front God da Judge, den fo you guys.

23 ✡“ ‘An you guys from Capernaum town,

You tink God goin bring you guys up in da sky, o wat?

No way! Mo like he goin throw you guys down dea inside Hell.’

“Cuz if I wen do awesome stuff wit my powa fo da Sodom guys jalike I do fo you guys, still yet Sodom town stay hea. 24 ✡But I stay tell you guys, bumbye goin be mo easy fo da Sodom guys wen dey stan in front God da Judge, den fo you guys.”

Go Come Ova Hea By Me An Res

(Luke 10:21-22)

25 Dat time Jesus tell, “God, you my Faddah. You Da One In Charge all ova da sky an da world. Mahalo plenny, eh, cuz you show dis kine stuff to da kids, but hide um from da smart guys dat know plenny. 26 Yeah, you my Faddah, an dass how you like um happen.”

27 ✡Den Jesus tell dem, “My Faddah in da sky give me eryting, you know. I his Boy, an az why he do dis. Nobody know me jalike my Faddah know me. An nobody know my Faddah fo real kine, ony me, I know him, cuz I his Boy. An da Boy da one dat pick da peopo he like show da Faddah to dem.

28 “All you guys dat stay work hard an carry heavy kine stuff dat make you come wore out, come! Go come ova hea by me. I goin give you guys res. 29 ✡Jalike da cows get yoke on top dem fo pull dea load, you guys put my yoke on top you. Learn fo do wat I stay teach you. I stay gentle kine an I like take kea odda peopo befo I take kea me, fo notting bodda you guys. 30 Cuz my yoke real easy fo put on, an my load not heavy.”

(Mark 15:2-5; Luke 23:3-5; John 18:33-38)

11 Da same time, Jesus stay stan in front Pilate, da govna. Pilate aks him, “Eh, you da King fo da Jews, o wat?”

Jesus tell him, “You da one tell dat.” 12 Da Main Pries guys an da older leadas all poin finga Jesus. But he still no tell notting.

13 Pilate tell him, “You neva hear all dat stuff dey stay tell bout you, o wat?” 14 Still yet Jesus no tell notting. An cuz he no tell notting, dat blow Pilate mind.

Dey Tell Jesus Gotta Mahke

(Mark 15:6-15; Luke 23:13-25; John 18:39–19:16)

15 Govna Pilate, he free up one prisona guy ery year, Passova time. Any guy da peopo pick, Pilate let um go. 16 Had one guy Barabbas dat stay inside da prison. All da peopo know bout him. 17 So wen all da peopo come togedda, Pilate aks um, “Who you guys like me let go fo you? You like Barabbas? O you like Jesus da guy dey call da Christ Guy, da one dey tell God wen sen um?” 18 Pilate know awready dat da leada guys wen give Jesus to him cuz dey real mad at Jesus. Cuz erybody lissen Jesus, an no lissen da leada guys.

19 Pilate still stay sit on top da judge chair, an his wife sen somebody by him fo tell, “No bodda wit dat Jesus guy cuz he neva do notting bad. I wen suffa plenny inside one dream cuz a him!”

20 But da Main Pries guys an da older leadas presha da peopo fo yell dis: “Kill Jesus awready! We like Barabbas!”

21 Govna Pilate aks one mo time, “Get two guys ova hea. Wat one you like fo me let go?”

Dey yell, “Barabbas!”

22 So Pilate tell um, “Den wat I goin do wit Jesus, da Christ Guy, da one dey tell God wen sen um?”

Dey all yell, “Kill dat buggah on top one cross! Kill um on top one cross!”

23 But Pilate tell, “How come? Wat kine bad ting he wen do?”

But dey yell mo loud, “Kill um on top one cross!”

24 ✡Den Pilate know he no can make dem change dea minds, cuz da peopo stay bus up da place awready. Az why he take some watta an wash his hands in front da peopo. He tell, “No go poin finga me fo wateva you guys do to dis guy! Dass you guys kuleana!”

25 An all da peopo tell, “Yeah, us guys an oua kids goin be da one fo take da blame fo kill um!”

26 Den Pilate tell da army guys, “Let Barabbas go. Whip Jesus. Den kill um on top one cross.”

Da Army Guys Make Any Kine To Jesus

(Mark 15:16-20; John 19:2-3; Isaiah 50:6)

27 Den da army guys dat work fo da govna take Jesus inside da palace, an dey tell all da odda army guys fo come by dem. 28 Dey take off Jesus clotheses an put one long red king kine robe on top him. 29 Dey make one crown from thorns, an put um on top his head. An dey put one stick in his right hand jalike him da king. An dey go down in front him an make fun a him. Dey tell, “Ho! Check um out! Da King fo da Jews!” 30 An da army guys spit on him, an take da stick an wack him on top his head plenny times. 31 Wen dey pau make fun a him, dey take off da red robe an put his clotheses back on top him. Den dey take him outside fo kill him on top one cross.

Dey Nail Jesus On Top One Cross
Fo Kill Um

(Mark 15:21-32; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:17-27; Songs 22:7-8, 18; 69:21; 109:25; Isaiah 53:12; Sad Song 2:15)

32 Wen dey stay go out from Jerusalem, dey meet one guy name Simon from Cyrene town. Da army guys tell um he gotta carry Jesus cross. 33 Dey come by da place dey call “Golgota,” dat mean “Da Skull Place.” 34 ✡Dey try give Jesus wine wit bitta stuff inside, but wen he taste da wine, he no like drink um.

35 ✡Dey nail him on top da cross, an den dey throw dice fo see wat army guy goin get wat clotheses from Jesus. 36 Den dey sit down an guard him. 37 Dey make one sign an put um ova his head, fo tell erybody wat he wen do wrong. Dis da sign:

Dis Jesus

Da King Fo Da Jews

38 Dey hang two prisona guys on top two crosses nea him, one on da right side an da odda one on da lef side. 39 ✡Had some guys dat stay walk ova dea dat shake dea fis at Jesus an yell, “Shame, you! 40 ✡You wen tell dat you goin broke down da Temple an goin build um up one mo time befo three days pau! Az why we like see you get outa dis! If you God Boy, come down from da cross now!”

41 Da Main Pries guys, da guys dat teach da Rules From God, an da older leadas make fun too, jalike da odda guys. Dey tell, 42 “He wen get odda guys outa da stuff dey stay in, but he no can get outa dis! If he da King fo da Israel peopo, kay den, us like see him come down from da cross now! Den we goin trus him! 43 ✡He stay trus God. Az why, us like see God get him outa dis stuff now, if God like him! Cuz he wen tell, ‘I God Boy.’ ” 44 An da prisona guys dat stay nail on dea cross nea him, dey make fun a him too, jalike da odda guys.

Jesus Mahke

(Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:28-40; Amos 8:9; Songs 22:1; 69:21; Outa Egypt 26:31-35; Hebrews 10:20; Ezekiel 37:12)

45 Noon time get real dark all ova da place fo three hour. 46 ✡Three clock Jesus yell real loud an tell, “Eli, eli, lema sabaktani!” Aramaic language, dat mean, “My God! My God! How come you bag from me?!”

47 Some odda guys dat stay ova dea hear him an tell, “Dis guy stay yell fo Elijah fo come!” 48 ✡One guy run an put one sponge inside da sour wine, an put um on top one stick, an try give um to Jesus fo drink.

49 But da odda guys tell, “Try wait! We go see if Elijah goin come fo get him outa dis.” 50 Jesus yell one mo time real loud, an den he let go his spirit an mahke.

51 ✡Right den an dea da big curtain inside da temple broke in two from da top to da bottom. An da groun shake, an da rocks split, 52-53 an da graves open. An you know wat? Plenny mahke guys dat was spesho fo God long time befo time, dea bodies come alive one mo time. Dat happen afta Jesus come back alive from mahke. Dey come outa dea graves, an dey go inside Jerusalem, da town dat stay spesho fo God. Plenny peopo spock um!

54 So da captain fo da army guys an his guys dat guard Jesus, dey see da groun stay shaking. Dey see all da stuff dat happen. Az why dey come real sked, an tell, “Fo shua, dis was God Boy!”

55 ✡Had plenny wahines dat stay stan far away fo watch eryting. Befo time, dey wen go wit Jesus from Galilee side fo take kea him. 56 Had Mary from Magdala, an anodda Mary dat get two boys, James an Joseph, an Zebedee wife dat get two boys, an had odda wahines.

Dey Bury Jesus

(Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42; Rules Secon Time 21:22-23; Jesus Guys 13:29)

57 Had one rich guy Joseph from Arimatea. He stay tight wit Jesus. 58 He go in front Pilate befo da sun go down, an tell Pilate if can take Jesus body. Az why Pilate tell his guys fo give Joseph da body. 59 Joseph take down da body from da cross, an wrap um up inside one clean cloth. 60 Joseph put um inside his new tomb, dat stay awready cut inside one small cliff. Joseph guys push one big rock in front da hole fo close um. Den dey go way. 61 Mary from Magdala an da odda Mary stay sit ova dea wea dey can see da tomb.

Da Police Guards By Da Tomb

62 Da nex day, afta da Make Ready Day fo da Passova time, da Main Pries guys an da Pharisee guys come togedda in front Pilate. 63 ✡Dey tell, “Eh Govna, us guys no foget, wen dat fake guy still alive, he tell, ‘Afta three days I goin come back alive one mo time.’ 64 Az why us guys figga, try put some guards in front da tomb fo three days, fo his guys no come an steal his body. Cuz if dey do dat, den dey goin tell da peopo, ‘Look hea! He wen come back alive from mahke!’ An den dis fake ting goin be mo worse den da firs fake ting wen he tell he da Christ Guy.”

65 So Pilate tell um, “Use yoa police guys. Sen um fo guard um, jalike you guys tell.” 66 Den dey go an put one offisho seal on top da big rock dat close da tomb, an leave some police guards ova dea fo guard um.

28

Jesus Come Back Alive

(Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-10)

1 Was da firs day a da week, afta da Res Day pau. An ony get litto bit light morning time. Dat time, Mary from Magdala an da odda Mary go da tomb fo look.

2 Right den an dea, da groun shake real hard all ova, cuz one angel messenja guy from Da One In Charge come down from inside da sky. Da angel guy push da big rock away from da open part, an sit down on top da rock. 3 He look jalike da light from da lightning, an his clotheses was real white jalike da snow. 4 Da police guards stay real sked a da angel. Az why dey stay shake all ova, an dey look jalike mahke kine guys.

5 Da angel guy tell da wahines, “Eh, no sked! I know you guys stay look fo Jesus, da guy dey wen kill on top da cross. 6 Eh, Jesus no stay ova hea, cuz God make um come back alive, jalike Jesus wen tell befo time. Go come! Try look da place wea he lay. 7 Den hurry up! Go tell da guys he wen teach, dat God make him come back alive from mahke awready. An you know, he goin go Galilee side firs, den you guys suppose to go ova dea too. Dass da place wea you guys goin see him. Lissen up! Dass wat I suppose to tell you guys.”

8 Da wahines, dey run from da tomb fo tell Jesus guys. Dey real sked, but same time dey feel real good inside. 9 Right den an dea Jesus meet dem an tell, “Aloha!” Dey go by him an touch his feet fo show him plenny love an respeck. 10 An Jesus tell um, “Eh, no sked! Go tell my braddah guys fo go Galilee side. Dass da place wea dey goin see me.”

Da Police Guys Tell Wat Wen Happen

11 Wen da wahines go, same time some a da guys dat guard da tomb go back inside Jerusalem town an tell da Main Pries guys wat wen happen. 12 So da Main Pries guys all come togedda wit da older leadas fo figga wat fo do. Den dey give plenny money to da guys dat wen guard da tomb. 13 Da pries guys tell um, “Tell da peopo, ‘Come dark, wen us guys stay sleep, Jesus guys steal da body.’ 14 If da govna hear bout dis ting, us guys goin back you up, so you guys no need worry.” 15 Az why da guys dat guard da tomb take da money an do wat da leada guys wen tell um fo do. An dass wat da Jew guys still yet stay tell today.

Jesus Go By His Guys

(Mark 16:14-18; Luke 24:36-49; John 20:19-23; Jesus Guys 1:6-8)

16 ✡Den Jesus eleven guys go Galilee side, to da mountain wea Jesus wen tell um fo go. 17 Wen dey see him ova dea, dey go down an show um plenny love an respeck. But still had guys dat not shua yet.

18 Den Jesus go nea dem an tell, “God give me all da powa fo me stay in charge a eryting all ova da world an inside da sky. 19 ✡So you guys, go all ova da world an teach all da diffren peopos fo dem learn bout me an come my guys. Baptize dem, an dey goin get da right fo come tight wit my Faddah, an wit me his Boy, an wit da Good An Spesho Spirit. 20 Teach um how fo do eryting I wen tell you guys fo do. An you know wat? I goin stay tight wit you guys ery day, till da world come pau.”

Da town o da ohana dat go agains each odda, no can stay strong. 18 If Satan make his guys let go da peopo, den Satan stay go agains Satan. How he goin stay one strong king? I tell dis cuz you guys tell dass me make da bad kine spirits no bodda da peopo no, cuz you tink dea leada guy Beelzebul give me powa fo do dat. 19 You guys tell dat da leada guy fo da bad kine spirits, he da one dat give me Jesus da powa fo make da spirits no bodda da peopo no moa.

Da firs moke wen trus da knifes an clubs, but da mo bigga moke goin rip off all da stuffs, an split um up wit his guys.

23 ✡“If you no stay wit me, den you stay agains me. Da guy dat no work wit me, he ony work agains me.”

Show Us Proof!

(Matthew 12:38-42; Mark 8:12)

29 ✡All da peopo stay jam aroun Jesus, an he tell, “Da peopo nowdays, dey do bad kine stuff. Dey erytime like see proof dat I fo real. An dey no goin see dat kine proof. Dey ony goin see one proof jalike da proof da guy Jonah wen show befo time. 30 ✡Jonah, he talk fo God long time befo time. Wat wen happen to him, wen show proof fo da peopo inside Nineveh town dat Jonah come from God. Dass jalike me, da Fo Real Kine Guy. Wat goin happen to me goin show proof fo da peopo nowdays dat I come from God. 31 ✡Bumbye wen da peopo dat stay hea nowdays stan in front God da Judge, da Queen from da south side, az far away Sheba side, her goin stan up too, an show proof dat da peopo dat stay hea nowdays no lissen. Cuz befo time she come from far away fo lissen wat King Solomon tell, da one dat know wat fo do erytime. An look!

Cuz wen Jonah teach da Nineveh peopo, dey come sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an dey no do um no moa. Now get one guy mo importan den Jonah stay hea, an you guys still do bad kine stuff!”

Da Light Fo Da Body

(Matthew 5:15; 6:22-23)

So if you get one good heart fo help peopo, dass jalike yoa eye okay an you stay all light inside. But if you one greedy buggah, dass jalike yoa eye not good an you stay all dark inside! 35 Make shua you get da light inside you, an you no stay dark inside. 36 So, if you get one good heart inside you, an you not greedy, dass jalike you get light inside you fo shua!”

Jesus Scold Da Pharisee Guys
An Da Teachas Dat Teach
Da Rules From God

(Matthew 23:1-36; Mark 12:38-40; Luke 20:45-47)

37 Wen Jesus pau talk, one Pharisee guy tell um fo come his house fo eat. So he go inside, an sit down fo eat. 38 But da Pharisee guy see dat Jesus no wash hands firs befo he eat da way da Pharisee guys do um, an he tink plenny bout dat. 39 An Jesus, Da One In Charge, tell him, “You know, you Pharisee guys, jalike you guys clean ony da outside a da cup an da plate. But inside you, stay full a bad kine stuff, an you like stash eryting fo ony you! 40 You guys no tink! Da One dat wen make da outside, make da inside too! 41 Give stuff to da peopo dat no mo notting from da stuffs you get, an you know wat? Eryting goin come okay fo you guys, da way God see you.

42 ✡“Wassamatta you Pharisee guys?! You goin get it! You guys give God ten percent a eryting, even da mint spice an da rue spice, an all da odda kine herbs. But same time, no bodda you guys if you no do da right tings, an you guys no mo love an aloha fo God. Mo betta, make shua you get love an aloha fo God, an do da right tings, an no foget da ten percent too.

43 “Wassamatta you Pharisee guys?! You guys goin get it! You guys erytime like fo sit down in da spesho chairs inside da Jew churches, an you like fo all da peopo talk nice to you in da open market.

44 “Wassamatta you guys?! You guys mahke inside, jalike da graves dat da peopo no can see. An dey walk on top um cuz dey donno get one grave dea.”

45 One teacha dat teach da Rules From God tell Jesus, “Eh Teacha, wen you tell dat, you talk bad bout us guys too.”

46 Jesus tell, “Wassamatta you teacha guys dat teach da Rules From God?! You guys goin get it! Cuz you like make all kine rules! Jalike you stack up big heavy kine stuffs on top da peopo backs, dat real hard fo carry. But jalike you guys no lif one finga fo help dem carry all dat—you no like help da peopo do wat yoa rules tell um fo do, even litto bit.

47 “Wassamatta you guys?! Cuz you make nice tombs fo da guys dat wen talk fo God, but was yoa ancesta guys wen kill um. 48 So you show you figga dass good, wat yoa ancesta guys wen do. Dey wen kill da guys dat talk fo God, an you guys make dea tombs! 49 Dass why God know wat he talking bout wen he tell, ‘I goin sen um guys dat talk fo me, an guys I sen all ova fo tell da Good Stuff, an dey goin kill some, an make oddas suffa.’ 50 So da peopo dat stay hea nowdays, dey goin get da blame fo all da guys dat peopo eva wen kill cuz dey talk fo God, 51 ✡from da firs one Abel to Zekariah. Dey wen kill Zekariah right inside da open lanai fo da Temple, wit da place dat stay spesho fo God one side, an da altar da odda side. Dass right! An I like tell you guys dis: Da guys dat stay hea nowdays, dey goin get all da blame.

52 “Wassamatta you teachas dat teach da Rules From God?! You guys goin get it! You guys donno wat God tell, an you no let da peopo dat like know wat he tell find out. Jalike you guys take away da key fo open da door fo peopo know wat God stay tell!”

53 Wen Jesus go way from dat place, da teachas dat teach da Rules From God an da Pharisee guys start fo gang up on him, an try fo make him tell dem all kine stuff. 54 Dey like trick him wit wat he tell dem fo dem bus him.

Dey jalike da yeast fo make bread—ony need litto bit yeast fo change da whole bread. 2 ✡Cuz you know, eryting dat stay unda one cova, da peopo goin see um, an eryting dat stay hide, dey goin find out. 3 Wateva you tell in da dark, dey goin hear um wen come light. Wateva you wispa in somebody ear behind one door dat stay close, somebody goin yell um from da top a da house. So, no teach one ting an do anodda.”

(Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-18; John 20:19-23; Jesus Guys 1:6-8)

Tell Bout Jesus

Wat God Tell Make Us Come Alive Inside

(John 3:6, 16, 19; 4:44; 5:25; 8:41-42; 12:35, 41-46; 17:5; Songs 33:6)

1 Da time eryting wen start, had one Guy. “God, He Talk,” dass who him. God an dat Guy, dey stick togedda, an da Guy stay God fo real kine. 2 Dass da Guy, da time eryting start, him an God stay tight wit each odda. 3 God wen make eryting, but da way he do um, he tell dis Guy fo do um. No mo notting dis Guy neva make. 4 He da Guy, if you like come alive fo real kine, you gotta come by him. Dass da kine life come from him. Wen peopo come alive lidat, jalike dey stay inside one place dat get plenny light. Den dey can see an undastan stuff. 5 No matta stay dark, da dark no can pio da light. Erytime get light.

6 ✡Had one guy John dat God sen. 7 God sen um fo tell all da peopo wat he know bout da light from God, fo dem trus God cuz a him. Dass his kuleana.

8 John, he not da light. He ony come fo tell da peopo dat da light stay fo real. 9 Dat time wen John stay teach, jalike da light dass fo real stay come inside da world. Dass da light dat show erybody wass true.

10 Dat time, da light dass fo real stay inside da world. Wen God make da world, he da Guy dat do um. But da peopo inside da world, dey neva know who him. 11 He come his country, but even his peopo neva come tight wit him. 12 But erybody dat come tight wit him an trus him, God give dem da right fo come his kids cuz dey know who him. 13 Da way dey born, az not jalike how one faddah like get kids. Dey come God kids cuz God give um his life inside.

14 Dat “God, He Talk” Guy, he come one guy dat get one body jalike us guys get. He stay wit us short time, an us see how awesome he stay. He awesome, cuz he da One an ony Boy dat come from da Faddah. He like do plenny good stuff fo us cuz dass how he stay. Eryting he tell bout God stay fo real.

15 John, he tell peopo wat he know bout dat Guy. He talk real strong fo all da peopo hear. He tell, “Dis da Guy I wen talk bout wen I tell, ‘Bumbye one Guy goin show up, an dat Guy mo importan den me, cuz he stay awready from befo I born.’ ”

16 John talk lidat cuz dat Guy like do real plenny good kine stuff, an he do um fo all us guys erytime. 17 Moses wen give oua ancesta guys da Rules From God. Den Jesus Christ, God Spesho Guy, he do plenny good stuff fo us, an eryting he tell us bout God, stay fo real. 18 No mo nobody wen see God fo real kine. But ony dat Guy wen see um. No mo anodda guy jalike him cuz he God too. No mo nobody stay mo tight wit his Faddah den him. He da One dat wen show how God stay.

Wat John Da Baptiza Guy Tell

(Matthew 3:1-12; Mark 1:2-8; Luke 3:13-17; Rules Secon Time 18:15; Isaiah 40:3)

19 One time, da Jew leada guys sen pries guys an odda guys from da Levi ohana dat help da pries guys. Dey sen um by John fo tell, “Eh, who you?” Dis wat he tell um:

20 He neva bulai. He tell um fo real kine, “Lissen! I not da Christ Guy, da Spesho Guy God Goin Sen.”

21 ✡Dey tell John, “Den who you? You Elijah?” He tell, “No, I not.”

Dey tell, “Den you da Spesho Guy dat goin come an talk fo God?” He tell, “No, I not.”

22 Dey tell him, “Kay den. Tell us who you. Wat you tell bout you? We gotta tell someting to da guys dat sen us, you know!”

23 ✡John tell da same ting jalike Isaiah tell, da guy dat talk fo God long time befo time,

“I da guy dat talk real strong inside da boonies,

‘Eh, make da road ready fo Da One In Charge.

Make um strait fo him!’ ”

24 Some a da guys da Jew leadas wen sen by John, dey Pharisees. 25 Dem guys tell him, “Kay den. If you not da Spesho Christ Guy Dat God Goin Sen, an you not Elijah, an you not da Spesho Guy dat goin come an talk fo God, den how come you stay baptize da peopo?”

26 John tell um, “I stay baptize da peopo wit watta. Anodda guy stay hea wit you guys, but you guys donno who him. 27 I wen start fo teach firs befo him, but I not spesho enuff even fo help him hemo his slippas.” 28 All dis happen inside Betany town, da one dat stay da odda side a da Jordan Riva. Dass wea John stay baptize da peopo.

Jesus Jalike God Bebe Sheep

(John 1:15)

29 Da nex day John spock Jesus stay coming by him, an he tell, “Eh, you guys, try look da guy ova dea! You know wat? He jalike God bebe sheep fo da sacrifice. He hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff dat erybody inside da whole world stay do! 30 Dis da guy I stay talk bout wen I tell, ‘Bumbye one guy goin show up afta me, but he mo importan den me, cuz he stay befo I born.’ 31 I neva know who him befo time. But I stay hea fo da Israel peopo know who him. Dass why I stay baptize peopo wit watta.”

32-33 John tell mo plenny bout wat he know. He tell dis: “God wen sen me fo baptize peopo wit watta. He tell me, ‘You goin see my Spesho Spirit come down an stay wit one guy. He da guy goin let my Good An Spesho Spirit take ova my peopo.’ Dat time I wen see one guy, an I neva know who him befo time. But den I see da Good An Spesho Spirit come down from da sky jalike one dove, an stay wit da guy.

34 “I wen see dat, an I tell you guys, dat guy, he God Boy!”

Da Firs Guys Jesus Pick Fo Teach

35 Da nex day John stay stan dea one mo time wit two guys he stay teach. 36 Wen John spock Jesus stay walk by him, he tell, “Look! Dis guy jalike God bebe sheep fo da sacrifice.”

37 Da two guys hear him tell dat, an dey go wit Jesus. 38 Jesus turn aroun an see dem stay going wit him. He tell, “Eh, wat you guys looking fo?”

Da time goin come wen you guys goin go down an pray to God oua Faddah, but no goin be hea on top dis mountain o inside Jerusalem. 22 You guys from Samaria go down in front somebody an pray, but you guys donno who him.

31 Same time Jesus guys stay beg him, “Teacha, come eat!”

32 But he tell um, “I awready get food, but you guys donno wat kine.”

33 So his guys tell each odda, “Wat you tink? Somebody bring him food, o wat?”

Da Bread Dat Make Us Come Alive

(Songs 78:24; 105:40)

25 Dey find Jesus da odda side a da lake, an dey tell, “Eh, Teacha! Wen you wen come ova hea?”

26 Jesus tell, “Dass good you guys stay look fo me. But I like tell you guys dis: You guys do um cuz I wen give you guys bread fo eat, an you guys come full. You guys no look fo me cuz I wen do awesome stuff fo show who me. 27 No go work ony fo da kine food dat bumbye come no good. Work fo da kine food dat las long time an make you guys live to da max foeva! I da Fo Real Kine Guy, an I give you guys dat kine life, cuz God da Faddah give me da right fo do dat.”

28 Dey tell him, “Kay den! Wat us guys gotta do, fo do da kine stuff dat God like?”

29 Jesus tell, “Dis wat God like you guys fo do: Trus me, cuz I Da Guy God Wen Sen.”

30 Dey tell, “Wat kine awesome ting you goin do fo show us who you, fo us guys trus you? Wat you goin do? 31 ✡Oua ancesta guys wen eat da spesho manna kine bread inside da boonies, jalike da Bible tell, ‘He give um bread from da sky fo eat.’ ”

32 Jesus tell dem, “Dass right! An I tell you guys dis too: No was Moses dat give yoa ancesta guys da bread from da sky. Was my Faddah, an he da One dat give you guys da real kine bread from da sky still yet. 33 Cuz da bread from God, dass me, da Guy dat come down from da sky. I make da peopo inside da world come alive fo real kine.”

34 Dey tell him, “Mista, give us dis kine bread, an no stop eva!”

35 Jesus tell, “Me, jalike da bread. I da One make da peopo come alive fo real kine. Anybody come by me fo be my guy, dey no goin come hungry eva! Anybody trus me, dey no goin come thirsty eva!

36 “Jalike I tell you guys awready, you guys see me, but you guys still yet no trus me. 37 Erybody da Faddah pick fo be my guys, dey goin come by me. No way I eva goin throw out da peopo dat come by me! 38 I come down from da sky. I neva come fo do any kine how I like, but fo do wat my Faddah like. He da One dat sen me. 39 Dis wat da Faddah like me fo do: Erybody he pick fo be my guys, he like me fo bring dem all, an no leave out nobody. An den, I goin make dem come back alive wen da world goin come pau. 40 Jalike I wen tell: dis wat my Faddah like, da One dat sen me: Erybody dat see me his Boy, an trus me, dey goin get da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! An I goin make dem come back alive wen da world goin come pau.”

41 Dass why da Jew guys start fo grumble bout him, cuz he tell, “I jalike da bread fo make da peopo live. I wen come down from da sky.”

42 Dey tell each odda, “Eh, dis guy, he Jesus, aah? He Joseph boy! We know his faddah an muddah, aah? So, how come he tell now, ‘I come down from da sky.’?”

43 Jesus tell um, “Eh! No grumble! 44 My Faddah wen sen me hea. No mo nobody can come by me, if my Faddah no bring um. An I goin make dem guys come back alive from mahke wen da world goin come pau. 45 ✡Da guys dat wen talk fo God long time befo time, dey write, ‘God goin teach all da peopo.’ Erybody dat lissen da Faddah, an learn da good kine stuff from him, dey goin come by me an be my guys. 46 I Da guy dat come from God, an I da ony guy dat eva see da Faddah. No mo anodda guy dat see him eva.

47 “Dass right! An I like tell you guys dis too: Whoeva trus me, dey goin live to da max foeva. 48 I jalike da bread, an I make peopo live to da max foeva. 49 Yoa ancesta guys wen eat da manna kine bread in da boonies, but no matta, layta dey mahke. 50 But dis kine bread from me, dat come down from da sky, anybody can eat dis bread. Dat mean dey can trus me, an den, dey no goin stay cut off from God. 51 I da real bread. I da one fo make peopo come alive fo real kine. I wen come down from da sky. Anybody take dis bread, dey goin live to da max foeva. Dis da bread I goin give wen I mahke, az my body. An dis goin make you guys live to da max foeva.”

52 Den da Jew guys start fo argue mo hard wit each odda. Dey tell, “Eh, wat dis guy stay talk bout? How he can give us his body fo eat?”

53 Jesus tell um, “Eh, you guys get um! An I like tell you guys dis too: I da Fo Real Kine Guy. If you guys no lissen wat I tell you guys bout why I goin mahke, no way you guys goin come alive fo real kine. If you guys lissen, dass jalike you guys eat my body an drink my blood. 54 Jalike I tell: Whoeva eat my body an drink my blood, dey goin live to da max foeva, an I goin bring um back alive wen da world goin come pau! 55 Cuz my body, dass food fo real kine. An my blood, dass drink fo real kine. 56 Whoeva eat my body an drink my blood lidat, dey stay tight wit me, an I stay tight wit dem. 57 Da Faddah stay live fo real kine, an he wen sen me hea. I stay live too, cuz he make me live fo real kine. Whoeva take me, same ting, dey goin live, cuz I goin make dem live fo real kine. 58 Dis not jalike da manna kine bread dat yoa ancesta guys wen eat, an bumbye dey mahke. Dis da kine bread dat come from God in da sky. Whoeva eat dis kine bread goin live fo real kine.”

59 Jesus tell all dat wen he stay teach inside da Jew church, Capernaum side.

60 Den plenny guys dat go wit Jesus, wen dey hear all dat stuff, dey tell, “Wow! Dis stuff too hard fo tink az fo real kine!” 61 But Jesus know dat his guys stay squawk lidat. So he tell um, “Wot!

63 “God Spirit, dass who make da peopo live fo real kine. Da body no can. Wat I stay tell you guys, dass from God Spirit, an dass wat make peopo live fo real kine. 64 But get some a you guys dat no trus me.” Jesus tell dat cuz he know from da start who no trus him, an who goin set up him. 65 An he tell, “Dass why I wen tell you guys, no mo nobody can come by me an be my guy. Ony if da Faddah like help um, den dey can come by me.”

66 From dat time had plenny guys dat he teach befo time, but some a dem go back, an neva like go wit him no moa. 67 So Jesus tell his twelve guys, “Eh, you guys goin go way too, o wat?”

68 ✡Den Simon Peter tell um, “Eh! You Da One In Charge! Wea we goin go? No mo nobody can tell us how fo live to da max foeva. You da ony one. 69 An us guys trus you, cuz we know dat you da Good An Spesho One from God.”

But dey hate me, cuz I tell um dat da kine stuff dey stay do, az real bad kine stuff! 8 You guys go Jerusalem fo da spesho religious kine ceremony.

10 But afta Jesus braddahs go da spesho religious kine ceremony, den he go too. But nobody know he stay go. 11 Den da Jew leada guys, dey look fo him at da spesho religious kine ceremony. Dey tell da peopo, “Wea dat buggah stay?”

12 All da peopo stay talk bout him to each odda. Some peopo tell, “He one good guy, you know.” Odda peopo tell, “Nah! He bulai da peopo.” 13 But nobody talk loud bout him, cuz dey sked a da Jew leada guys.

14 In da middo a da spesho religious kine ceremony awready Jesus go inside da open lanai fo da Temple an start fo teach. 15 An da Jew leada guys, blow dea mind. Dey tell, “How come dis buggah know all dis stuff? He neva study wit da odda teachas, you know.”

16 Jesus tell dem, “Da stuff I teach, no come from me. Come from da One wen sen me. 17 If anybody like do wat God like um fo do, dey goin know if da stuff I stay teach come from God, o if ony come from my head. 18 Da guy dat tell stuff dat come from his head, he ony like make peopo tink he awesome. But if one guy like peopo fo figga dat da one dat sen him stay awesome, dat guy stay tell da trut. He no bulai. 19 Moses wen give you guys da Rules From God, but no mo nobody from you guys do wat da Rules From God tell um fo do. So, how come you guys try fo kill me?”

20 All da peopo tell, “Wassamatta you? You get one bad kine spirit in charge a you, o wat? Wat you mean, somebody try fo kill you?”

21 Jesus tell dem, “I wen do one awesome ting, an dat blow all you guys mind. 22 ✡Moses wen give you guys da Rule fo cut skin on day numba eight afta one bebe boy born, an you guys do um fo one bebe boy, no matta on da Res Day. You know, oua ancesta guys do dat long time befo Moses. No was Moses dat give um da Rule firs time. 23 ✡If you guys can cut skin on one guy on da Res Day fo no broke Moses Rules, how come you guys come huhu wit me cuz I make one sick guy come good on da Res Day? 24 No ack jalike one judge wen you guys can see ony da outside stuff. If you guys goin ack jalike one judge, gotta judge da right way.”

Dis God Spesho Guy?

25 Den some peopo from Jerusalem tell, “Eh! Dis da guy dey stay look fo, cuz dey like kill um, aah? 26 But, wow! He stay talk hea in front erybody, an nobody tell him fo shut his mout. Wat you guys figga? You tink maybe da leada guys wen figga dat dis guy, he da Spesho Guy God Goin Sen, fo real kine, o wat?! 27 But us guys, we know wea dis guy come from. Wen God sen his Spesho Guy Christ, nobody goin know wea he come from.”

28 Jesus stay teach inside da open lanai fo da Temple. Wen he hear dem guys tell dat, he talk real loud an tell, “You guys tink you know me, an wea I wen come from? I neva come hea jus fo do wat I like do. Da One dat wen sen me, he God fo real kine! You guys donno him. 29 But I know him, cuz I come from him, an he wen sen me hea.”

Dey Sen Da Police Fo Bus Jesus

32 Da Pharisee guys hear all da peopo stay tell dat kine stuff bout Jesus. So dem guys an da Main Pries guys sen da Temple Police guys fo bus him.

33 Den Jesus tell, “I ony goin stay wit you guys litto bit mo time, an den I goin go back by da One dat sen me hea. 34 You guys goin look fo me, but you no goin find me, cuz wea I goin go, you guys no can go.”

35 Den da Jew leada guys tell each odda, “Wea dis buggah goin go, an we no can find him? You tink he goin go by da Jew guys inside da Greek towns far away, fo teach da peopo dat talk da Greek language, o wat? 36 Wat he mean wen he tell, ‘You guys goin look fo me, but you no goin find me,’ an ‘Da place I goin stay, you guys no can go dea’?”

Da Watta Dat Make Da Peopo Live

(Nehemiah 9:15, 19-20; Ezekiel 47:1-12)

37 ✡On da las day a da spesho religious kine ceremony, dass da main day, Jesus stan up, an talk real loud. He tell, “Whoeva stay thirsty, let um come by me fo drink. 38 ✡Whoeva trus me, da Bible tell az jalike ‘rivas goin come outa dem dat get plenny watta fo make peopo live fo real kine.’ ” 39 Jesus tell dat bout God Spirit, cuz bumbye da peopo dat trus Jesus goin get God Spirit. Da time Jesus tell dat, dey neva get da Spirit yet, cuz God neva make Jesus come awesome to da max yet.

Da Peopo Split In Half

(Rules Secon Time 18:18-19)

40 Plenny peopo wen hear wat Jesus tell. An dey tell, “Fo shua, dis da Spesho Guy dat goin come fo talk fo God!”

41 Get odda guys dat tell, “Dis da Christ Guy, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen!”

But da odda guys tell, “You tink God Spesho Guy goin come from Galilee? No way! 42 ✡Da Bible tell dat da Christ Guy goin come from King David ancesta guys, an goin come from Betlehem, wea King David wen live, aah?” 43 So da peopo split in half cuz a Jesus. 44 Some guys like grab him an bus him, but nobody touch him.

So dey bring her in front Jesus an all da peopo. 4 Dey tell him, “Teacha, we wen find dis wahine fooling aroun wit anodda guy dat not her husban! 5 ✡Moses wen tell us in da Rules, ‘Whoeva fool aroun behind da odda back, gotta throw big kine stones at um fo kill um.’ But you, Jesus, wat you tell?” 6 Dey tell dat fo see wat Jesus goin tell, cuz dey like catch um fo bus um.

13 ✡Da Pharisee guys tell him, “Eh! You da ony one stay tell dis. No mo anodda guy tell um fo you. So dass not enuff fo show proof dat wat you tell stay true.”

14 Jesus tell dem, “No matta I talk fo me, wat I tell stay true. I know wea I stay come from, an wea I stay go. But you guys, you donno wea I stay come from, o wea I goin go. 15 You guys tink you know how one guy stay by how he stay look on da outside. I no figga lidat. 16 No matta if I tell one guy good o bad, I tell da trut, cuz me not da ony one fo do um. I get my Faddah fo help me, cuz he da One wen sen me hea. 17 ✡You guys Rules tell dat wen two peopo tell da same ting, den wat dey tell stay true. 18 Kay den.

20 Jesus tell all dat wen he teach inside da Temple, nea da place wea dey bring da money. An nobody bus him, cuz not time yet fo dat.

“Da Place I Goin Go,

21 Jesus tell da Pharisee guys one mo time, “I goin go away, an you guys goin look fo me. Da place I goin go, you guys no can go dea. But you guys goin get cut off from God foeva cuz a all da bad kine stuff you guys stay do.”

22 Az why da Jew leada guys tell, “Wat he stay talking bout? He goin kill himself, o wat? Cuz he tell, ‘Da place I goin go, you guys no can go dea.’ ”

23 Jesus tell dem, “You guys come from down hea, I come from up dea. You guys come from dis world, I no come from dis world. 24 Dass why I tell dat you guys goin get cut off from God foeva cuz a all da bad kine stuff you guys stay do. Cuz if you guys no stay shua dat I da Spesho Guy, den you guys goin mahke from all da bad kine stuff you stay do.”

25 So dey tell um, “Eh, who you?”

Jesus tell, “I da same guy, jalike I stay tell you guys from da start. 26 Get plenny bad kine stuff I can tell bout you guys, fo judge you. But I not goin do dat. Da One dat sen me hea, he erytime tell da trut. I tell da peopo inside da world ony da tings I hear from him.” 27 (He mean his Faddah. But dem guys, dey no undastan.)

28 Jesus tell, “Bumbye you guys goin put me, da Fo Real Kine Guy, high on top one cross. Den you guys goin know dat I da Spesho Guy, an wateva I do, az not jus me dat do um. I ony teach da stuff my Faddah teach me. 29 Da One dat sen me hea, he stay wit me. He no leave me. I erytime do da kine stuff dat he like.”

30 Wen he tell all dat, plenny peopo trus him.

33 ✡Dey tell him, “Ho! Us guys come from Abraham! We no was slave guys eva! Wat you mean, ‘No need be slave guys no moa’?”

34 Jesus tell dem, “Dass right, wat I stay tell you! An I tell you guys dis too: Whoeva stay do bad kine stuff, dey jalike one slave, cuz dey gotta do da bad kine stuff. 35 You know, one slave guy no stay wit da boss foeva. Ony da boss boy, he stay wit him foeva. 36 I God Boy, az why if I hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff you guys do, an let you guys go, den you guys no need be slave guys foeva. Fo shua you guys free up!

37 “I know fo shua you guys come from Abraham. But still yet, you guys stay trying fo kill me, cuz you guys no like take da stuff I stay teach. 38 I tell bout da stuff I wen see, dat my Faddah show me, an you guys do da stuff you wen hear bout from you guys faddah.”

Da Devil, He You Guys Faddah

39 Dey tell him, “Abraham, he da faddah fo us guys!”

Jesus tell dem, “If you guys was Abraham kids, den you guys suppose to do da kine stuff Abraham wen do. 40 But now you guys stay try fo kill me, no matta I erytime tell you guys da trut, jalike I wen hear um from my Faddah.

Dey tell him, “Eh, us guys ony get one faddah, an he God! No mo anodda guy oua faddah!”

42 Jesus tell dem, “If God was you guys faddah, den you guys wen get love an aloha fo me, cuz I come from God, an now I stay hea. I no come hea jus fo me. I wen come hea cuz God wen sen me hea. 43 How come you guys no can undastan da stuff I stay tell you? Cuz you guys no like lissen, dass why!

44 “You guys come from yoa faddah, da Devil! You guys like do da kine stuff he like do. From da start, he like kill peopo. He no like da trut, cuz no mo notting true inside him. He erytime bulai, cuz dass wat he like do. He da firs guy eva wen bulai, cuz dass how he stay. 45 I stay tell you guys da trut, but you guys no trus me. 46 You guys no can show proof dat I wen do bad kine stuff, aah? Az why, if I stay tell da trut, how come you guys no trus me?

47 “Whoeva come from God, dey lissen wat God tell. Dass why you guys no like lissen me, cuz you guys no come from God.”

“Befo Abraham Stay, I Stay Awready”

48 Da Jew leada guys tell him, “Az right wat we tell! You one Samaria guy, not one real Jew, an you get one bad kine spirit in charge a you!”

49 Jesus tell um, “I no mo one bad kine spirit in charge a me. I show respeck fo my Faddah. But you guys no mo respeck fo me. 50 I no try fo make peopo tink I awesome. Get anodda One dat show peopo how awesome I stay, an he da judge.

51 “If you guys undastan dat, den I like tell you guys dis too: Whoeva lissen wat I tell, dat guy no goin mahke inside, eva!”

52 Den da Jew leada guys tell, “Ho! Fo shua you get one bad kine spirit in charge a you! Abraham mahke, an da guys dat talk fo God long time befo time, dey mahke too. But you still tell, ‘Whoeva lissen wat I tell, dey no goin mahke, eva.’ 53 You tink you mo importan den oua faddah Abraham? He mahke awready. An da guys dat talk fo God, dey wen mahke too. Who you tink you, hah?”

54 Jesus tell, “If I try make da peopo tink I awesome, dat no good. My Faddah, he da One dat show dem how awesome I stay. An you guys tell dat he yoa God. 55 But you guys donno him. I know him. If I tell dat I donno him, den I bulai, jalike you guys. But I know him, an I do wat he tell me fo do. 56 Abraham, dass you guys faddah. He wen stay real good inside wen he find out dat I goin come hea. He wen see dat, an he feel good inside.”

57 Da Jew leada guys tell him, “Eh! you no make fifty yet! Wat you mean, you wen see Abraham?”

58 Jesus tell dem, “Dass right! An I tell you guys dis too: Befo Abraham born, I stay awready.”

59 Den dem guys go get rocks fo stone Jesus fo kill um. But he hide an go outside from da open lanai fo da Temple.

Jesus Make One Guy See Dat Born Blind

1 Afta dat Jesus walk aroun, an he spock one guy dat wen born blind. 2 Da guys Jesus stay teach aks him, “Eh, Teacha! Who wen do bad kine stuff, dis guy o his muddah an faddah? Az why he born lidat, aah?”

3 Jesus tell dem, “Not him o his faddah o his muddah do someting bad. Not cuz a dat he born blind. He wen born lidat fo erybody see da awesome stuff God do fo da guy. 4 God sen me hea cuz us guys gotta do da kine work he tell us fo do now wen still get da light. Bumbye nite time come, an den nobody can work. 5 ✡I stay inside da world now, an I jalike da light fo da peopo all ova da world.”

6 Afta Jesus tell dat, he spit on top da dirt, an make some mud. Den he take some a dat an put um on top da guy eyes. 7 Den Jesus tell um, “Go, wash yoa face inside da Siloam watta place.” (Siloam mean, “Dey Sen Watta Dea.”) Az why da guy go ova dea an wash his face, an wen he go home, he can see!

8 So da peopo dat live nea da guy, an da oddas dat see him beg befo time, dey tell, “Eh, dis da guy dat stay sit an beg befo time, aah?”

9 Some peopo tell, “Yeah, he da guy!” Odda peopo tell, “Nah! He ony look jalike him.”

But da guy tell, “Yeah! I da guy!”

10 Az why dey tell him, “How come you can see now?”

11 He tell um, “Da guy Jesus wen make mud, an put um on top my eyes, an tell me, ‘Go wash yoa face da Siloam watta place.’ Az why I go an wash my face, an den I can see!”

12 Dey tell him, “Wea he stay?”

He tell, “I donno.”

Da Pharisee Guys Check Out Da Guy Dat Was Blind

13 Den dey take da guy dat no stay blind no mo to da Pharisee guys. 14 Was da Res Day wen Jesus make da mud an make da guy see. 15 Az why da Pharisee guys tell him, “Eh, how come you can see?”

Da guy tell dem, “He put mud on top my eyes, an I wash um out, an den I can see!”

16 Den some a da Pharisee guys tell, “Dis guy no can come from God, cuz he do stuff he not suppose to do on da Res Day.” But odda Pharisee guys tell, “Nah! How can one bad kine guy do da kine awesome stuff dat show who him?” An dey make argue wit each odda.

17 So one mo time dey tell da guy dat no stay blind no moa, “Eh, wat you figga bout da guy dat make you see?”

Da guy tell, “He one guy dat talk fo God.”

18 Da Jew leada guys no tink az fo real kine, dat da guy stay blind befo time. So dey sen guys fo bring his muddah an faddah. 19 Dey tell da muddah an faddah, “Dis yoa boy? You tell he born blind? How come he can see now?”

20 Da muddah an faddah tell, “Yeah, dis oua boy. An he wen born blind. 21 But we donno how come he can see now, o who da guy wen make him see. Try aks him. He ol enuff. No need somebody dat can talk fo him.” 22 His muddah an faddah guys talk lidat, cuz dey sked da Jew leada guys. Cuz dem guys awready talk togedda, an tell, “If anybody tell dat Jesus da Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Pick, we goin throw him outa da Jew church.” 23 Dass why his muddah an faddah guys tell, “He ol enuff. Try aks him.”

24 So dey tell da guy dat no stay blind no mo fo come back one mo time. Dey tell, “Eh! Tell da trut in front God! Us guys know fo shua dat dis buggah Jesus, he one bad guy.”

20 Dis sign, plenny Jews read um, cuz da place dey kill him stay nea Jerusalem town. Da army guys write da sign in three language: Hebrew, Greek, an Latin. 21 Da Jew Main Pries guys tell Pilate, “Eh, no write, ‘Da King fo da Jews’! Mo betta write, ‘Dis guy tell, I da king fo da Jews’.”

22 Pilate tell um, “I wen tell my guys wat fo write, an dass how goin stay!”

23 Da army guys, afta dey nail Jesus to da cross, dey take his clotheses an make four pile. Was one pile fo ery army guy. Had his robe too, dat neva have seam, cuz dey weave um from da top an all ova. 24 ✡So dey tell, “Mo betta no broke up da robe. We go throw da dice fo um, aah?

No tell he give you da right fo use his name fo do stuff!’ No good all da odda peopo all ova da place hear bout dis ting!”

18 Den da leada guys tell Peter an John fo come inside one mo time. An dey tell dem, “No talk o teach nobody bout da guy Jesus no moa, an no tell he give you da right fo use his name fo do stuff!” 19 But Peter an John tell, “You guys go figga wat God figga: You figga az mo betta fo do wat you guys tell peopo fo do, o mo betta fo do wat God tell peopo fo do? 20 Cuz us guys, no way us can no talk bout da tings we wen see an hear.” 21 Az why da leada guys tell um one mo time “Betta not talk bout Jesus no moa!” An den dey let um go. Dey no can figga how fo punish dem, cuz all da peopo stay tell dat God awesome, cuz a eryting dat wen happen. 22 Da guy dey make come good dis unreals way, he mo den forty year ol awready.

12 Da guys Jesus wen sen all ova do plenny awesome stuff dat show who dem in front da peopo. All da peopo dat trus God come togedda inside da Solomon Lanai. 13 All da odda peopo stay sked fo come togedda wit Jesus guys ova dea, but still yet da peopo figga Jesus guys good guys. 14 Den plenny mo guys an wahines trus Da One In Charge, an come togedda wit dem. 15 Cuz a dat, da peopo bring da sick peopo on da streets, an lay um on top beds an mats fo Peter shadow pass ova dem wen he come by dem fo da sick peopo come good. 16 Plenny peopo come from da towns aroun Jerusalem. An dey bring dea sick peopo an oddas dat get bad kine spirits dat make dem suffa plenny. An Jesus guys make dem all come good.

Da Main Pries Guy an his guys tell all da main leadas, an all da odda leadas fo da Israel peopo fo come togedda. An dey sen guys to da jail fo bring Jesus guys to dem. 22 But wen da police guys come to da jail, dey neva find Jesus guys ova dea. So da police guys go back an tell da leadas, 23 “We find da jail door still yet stay lock, an da security guard standing by da doors, but wen we open um, nobody stay inside.” 24 Wen da leada guys hear dat, da captain fo da Temple guard an da Main Pries guys come futless, an dey tink plenny wat goin happen. 25 Den one guy come an tell um, “You know wat? Da guys you wen put in jail, dey stay stan inside da open lanai fo da Temple, teaching da peopo!” 26 Wen da captain hear dat, him an his guys go an bring Jesus guys to da main leadas. Da captain an his guys neva force Jesus guys fo no teach no moa, cuz dey sked dat da peopo goin throw stones at da captain an his guys.

27 Dey bring in da guys Jesus wen sen all ova an make dem stan in front da main leadas, fo da Main Pries Guy aks dem stuff. 28 ✡Da Main Pries Guy tell, “Lissen! We wen tell you guys you betta not teach da peopo bout da guy Jesus, an tell he give you da right fo use his name fo do stuff. But you guys still yet teach dis kine stuff all ova Jerusalem. An you even like poin finga us fo kill him!”

29 Peter an da odda Jesus guys tell, “We gotta do wat God tell us fo do, an no do wat peopo tell us fo do! 30 Da God fo oua ancesta guys, he da One wen make Jesus come back alive one mo time, afta you guys kill him on top one cross. 31 God take Jesus by him, an make Jesus sit by da importan place by his right side, cuz he da Main Leada, an he da One dat take us outa da bad kine stuff we do. He da One goin help da Israel peopo come sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey do. He goin let um go an hemo dea shame. 32 Us da ones wen see all dis stuff happen, an da Good An Spesho Spirit tell dat he see um happen too. God give his Good An Spesho Spirit to da peopo dat lissen him.”

33 Wen da leada guys hea dat, dey come real huhu, an like kill Jesus guys. 34 But one guy Gamaliel stan up in front da main leadas fo talk. He one Pharisee guy dat teach da Rules From God, an all da peopo get plenny respeck fo him. He tell dem fo take da guys outside. 35 Den he tell, “Eh! Braddah Israel guys, we betta figga real good bout wat we goin do to dese guys. 36 Cuz you no foget? One time had one guy name Teudas. He talk big, jalike he somebody, an he had bout four hundred guys stay tight wit him. But den some guys kill him, an all his guys run away, an da whole ting pau. 37 Laytas, wen da leadas make da peopo sign up fo da census, had one guy Judas from Galilee show up. He take some guys away, an dey start fo fight da govmen. But da Rome army guys kill him too, an all his guys bag. 38 So, fo dese guys, I tell you wat fo do. No do notting! Let um go! Cuz if wat dey do ony come from peopo, notting goin happen. 39 But if da ting come from God, you no can stop um. You ony stay beefing God.”

40 Da leada guys like wat Gamaliel tell. Dey tell Jesus guys fo come back inside, an tell da police guys fo bus um up good. Den dey tell Jesus guys one mo time dey betta not talk bout da guy Jesus no moa, o tell he give you da right fo use his name fo do stuff.

An dey stay real good inside cuz God figga dey stay good enuff fo suffa an come shame cuz dey Jesus guys. 42 Ery day dey no stop teach an tell erybody inside da open lanai fo da Temple an inside all da houses da Good Stuff bout Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen.

Da awesome God wen come by oua ancesta Abraham wen he stay Mesopotamia side, befo he go Haran side. 3 God tell him, ‘Go way from yoa place an yoa ohana, an go da place I goin show you.’ 4 ✡So Abraham go way from Kaldea an stay in Haran. Afta Abraham faddah mahke, God sen Abraham to dis place wea you guys stay now. 5 ✡God neva give Abraham dis place fo his home. He neva get even litto bit land ova hea. But God wen promise him dat his ohana goin own dis land bumbye; no matta Abraham neva have kids dat time. 6 ✡God tell him, ‘Yoa ohana goin stay one place far away, dat not hea. Da peopo ova dea goin make dem slaves, an dey goin suffa four hundred year. 7 ✡I goin punish da peopo dat make dem slaves. An laytas, yoa ohana guys goin go way from ova dea, an dey goin pray an show me respeck in dis place.’ Dass wat God tell. 8 ✡Den God make one deal wit Abraham dat dey goin cut skin dea guys fo show dat dey God peopo.

Dem twelve guys come da main faddahs an leadas fo da twelve ohanas fo da Israel peopo.

He make him know wat fo do erytime, an help him. Da king fo Egypt, da Pharaoh guy, he figga Joseph one good guy. So Pharaoh make him da leada fo da Egypt land an all his palace. 11 ✡Den one real hard time come all ova Egypt an Canaan, an erybody suffa plenny. Az why oua ancesta guys no can find food fo eat. 12 Wen oua ancesta Jacob hear dat get wheat Egypt side, he sen his boys ova dea firs time. 13 ✡Da nex time dey go Egypt side, da guy Joseph tell his braddahs who him, an den Pharaoh hear bout Joseph ohana. 14 ✡Afta dat, Joseph sen guys fo bring his faddah Jacob an all his ohana Egypt side. Had seventy-five peopo come. 15 ✡Dass how Jacob go Egypt side. Bumbye he mahke, an oua ancesta guys, dey mahke too. 16 ✡Oua peopo bring back dea bodies to Shekem, an put um inside da tomb dat Abraham wen buy from Hamor boys befo time.

17 ✡“Wen da time stay nea fo God fo do all da stuff he wen promise oua ancesta Abraham fo do, oua ohana Egypt side come mo big. 18 Den anodda king come da Pharaoh guy in Egypt dat neva know who Joseph. 19 ✡He bulai oua peopo an make oua ancesta guys suffa plenny. He make dem throw out dea bebes dat jus born fo dem mahke. 20 ✡Dat time Moses born. Erybody tink he look real nice. Fo three month dey hide Moses an take kea him inside his faddah house. 21 ✡Wen dey no can hide him no moa, dey put him outside, an Pharaoh girl find him an take kea him jalike him her boy. 22 Dey teach Moses plenny, so he know all da stuff da smart guys in Egypt know. An he talk an make jalike one guy dat get powa.

23 ✡“Wen Moses come forty year ol, he like go by his braddahs an sistahs, da Israel peopo, fo visit dem. 24 He spock one Egypt guy dat stay bus up one Israel guy, so he go help da Israel guy. He kill da Egypt guy fo pay um back. 25 He tink his peopo goin know dat God goin use him fo bring dem outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in cuz dey slaves. But dey neva know dat. 26 Da nex day Moses come by two Israel guys dat stay beefing. He try fo cool um down. He tell, ‘Eh, you guys braddahs. How come you stay hurt each odda?’ 27 But da guy dat stay bus up da odda guy push Moses away an tell, ‘Eh, who you tink you? Who make you da leada guy an da judge fo us? 28 You like kill me jalike you wen kill da Egypt guy yestaday, o wat?’ 29 ✡Wen Moses hear dat, he bag outa dea an go Midian side. He stay ova dea long time, but he not from dea. An den he marry an get two boys.

30 ✡“Afta forty year, one angel guy come by Moses inside one bush dat stay burn in da boonies nea Mount Sinai. 31 Wen Moses see dat, dat blow his mind. He go nea ova dea fo check um out, an he hear Da One In Charge tell, 32 ‘Me da God yoa ancesta guys wen pray to. Me da God Abraham pray to, an Isaac, an Jacob.’ Eh, da guy Moses come real sked an he shake all ova, an he neva like look up. 33 Da One In Charge tell, ‘Take off yoa slippas, cuz da place wea you stan, dass one place dat stay spesho fo me. 34 Fo shua I see how da Egypt peopo make my peopo suffa plenny. I hear dem moaning, an I come fo let dem go. Try come, I goin sen you back Egypt side.’ ”

35 ✡Den Stephen tell dem, “Moses, he da guy dat da Israel peopo wen throw out. Dey tell, ‘Eh, who make you da leada guy an judge ova us guys?’ But Moses, he da one God wen sen fo come dea leada. He da one dat free um up from da bad kine stuff dey stay in cuz dey slaves. Moses da one dat see one angel messenja guy inside da bush dat burn but no burn up. Dat angel help him fo know dat he da one God wen pick. 36 ✡Moses bring da peopo outa Egypt an show dem awesome stuff wit powa Egypt side, an by da Red Sea, an in da boonies fo forty year. 37 ✡Moses, he da same guy dat tell da Israel peopo layta, ‘God goin sen one Guy fo you dat goin talk fo him, jalike he wen sen me. An dat one goin come from you guys ohana.’ 38 ✡Moses stay wit all da peopo togedda inside da boonies, wit all oua ancesta guys, an wit da angel guy dat talk to him on top Mount Sinai. God tell him good stuffs fo tell us guys how fo live fo real kine.

39 “But oua ancesta guys neva like do wat Moses tell um fo do. Inside dey like kick um out an go back Egypt side. 40 ✡Dey tell Aaron, ‘Make odda gods fo us dat show us da way fo go. Moses bring us outa Egypt, but we donno wea he stay now!’

41 ✡“Dat time dey make one idol kine god dat look jalike one bebe cow. Dey make sacrifice fo um, an den make one big party fo da ting dey make wit dea hands. 42 ✡So God make jalike he donno dem, an let dem go down an pray to da sun an da moon an da stars. Dat happen jalike da guy Amos, dat talk fo God long time befo time, write down. He tell,

“ ‘You Israel peopo,

Dat no was fo me you make sacrifice fo,

Forty year inside da boonies! Nah!

43 You guys wen carry one tent fo da idol kine god Molek,

An fo da idol kine star god Refan.

Dey da gods you guys wen make

Fo you go down an pray to dem.

Cuz a dat, I goin sen you guys away

Fo stay long time one far place

Da odda side Babylon.’ ”

44 ✡An den Stephen tell, “Oua ancesta guys ova dea inside da boonies get da big tent dat show God stay wit dem. Dey make da tent jalike God tell Moses fo make um. 45 ✡Dey make da tent an carry um wit dem. Den bumbye Joshua bring dem inside dis land. God kick out da diffren peopos dat stay hea. An oua ancesta guys take away da land from dem. Dat tent stay hea long time till King David come. 46 ✡God do plenny good tings fo David. So David aks God fo let him make one mo betta house fo God, da same God dat David ancesta Jacob wen pray to. 47 ✡But David boy Solomon, he da one make dat house fo God.”

48 But da God Dat Stay Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods, he no stay erytime inside one house dat peopo make. Jalike da guy Isaiah dat talk fo God, tell, “Da One In Charge tell,

49 ✡“ ‘Da sky, dass my throne,

An da earth, dass da place fo my feets.

Wat kine house you goin make fo me?

Wea da place fo me fo res?

50 You tink I not da One dat make all dis, o wat?’ ”

You erytime like beef da Good An Spesho Spirit! 52 Yoa ancesta guys erytime make da guys dat talk fo God suffa.

18 “Wen dey hear dat, dey pau squawk, an dey tell how awesome God stay. Dey tell, ‘Wow! God even let da peopo dass not Jew guys come sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey wen do, fo dem get da real kine life too!’ ”

Antiok, Pisidia Side

(1 Samuel 8:5, 19; Songs 2:7; 16:10; Isaiah 49:6; 55:3; Habakkuk 1:5)

13 Paul an da guys dat go wit him ride boat from Pafos to Perga, Pamfylia side. Ova dea John Mark go way from dem, an go back Jerusalem. 14 Paul an Barnabas, dey go from Perga to da odda Antiok, Pisidia side. On da Res Day dey go inside da Jew church an sit down. 15 Da Jew leadas read from da Rules From God, an from wat da guys dat talk fo God befo time write down inside da Bible. Den da Jew leadas sen guys fo tell Paul dem, “Braddahs, if you get good words fo da peopo, try tell us.” 16 Paul stan up an wave his hand, an tell, “You Israel peopo an you peopo dass not Jew guys dat get love an respeck fo God, lissen me! 17 ✡Da God fo da Israel peopo wen pick oua ancesta guys an do plenny fo dem wen dey stay Egypt side. He lead um outa dat place wit his strong powa, 18 ✡an he take da stuff dey do fo forty year inside da boonies. 19 ✡He wipe out seven peopos Canaan side, an give dea land to his peopo jalike one faddah wen promise fo give land to his boy. 20 ✡All dat happen fo bout four hundred fifty year.

“Afta dat, God give um local leada guys, till Samuel, da guy dat talk fo God come. 21 ✡Den da peopo like get one king, an God give um Saul, Kish boy, from da Benjamin ohana. An Saul stay king fo forty year. 22 ✡Den God take Saul away, an make David dea king. God tell bout David, ‘I see David, Jesse boy. He da kine guy dat make me stay good inside. He do all da kine stuff I like him fo do.’

23 “From da David ohana, God bring Jesus, da One dat take da Israel peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey do, jalike he wen promise fo do. 24 ✡Befo Jesus come, John Da Baptiza Guy teach all da Israel peopo dat dey gotta come sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey do, an fo get baptize. 25 ✡Wen John pau all da stuff he come fo do, he tell da peopo, ‘Who you tink me? I not God Spesho Guy. God Spesho Guy goin come afta me. I no stay good enuff fo even do manini kine stuff fo him, not even help him take off his slippas.’ ”

26 Den Paul tell, “My braddahs an sistahs, you Abraham kids, an all you guys dass not Jew guys but get choke respeck fo God, God sen all us guys da Good Stuff dat take us outa da bad kine stuff us do. 27 Da peopo inside Jerusalem an dea leadas, dey neva know who Jesus was. Dey neva undastan wat da guys dat talk fo God wen write down befo time, no matta dey read um inside dea Jew churches ery Res Day. So wat da Jerusalem leada guys do, dey poin finga Jesus. An dass how dey make happen all da stuff da Bible tell. 28 ✡Dey neva find notting wrong dat show he gotta mahke, but dey tell Pilate fo kill um. 29 ✡Wen dey kill Jesus, dat happen jalike da Bible tell befo time. An afta, dey take him down from da cross an put him inside one tomb. 30 But God, he make um come back alive from mahke! 31 ✡An fo plenny days da guys dat stay wit him befo time from Galilee to Jerusalem, dey see um. Now, dey da guys dat tell all dis stuff to da Jew guys.

32 ✡“We stay tell you guys da Good Stuff From God. He wen promise oua ancesta guys dat he goin do someting. 33 An now he do um fo us, we da ancesta guys kids. Dass why he bring Jesus back alive from mahke die dead! Az jalike dey write down inside da Song Fo God Numba Two:

“ ‘Today I tell

Dat you my Boy!’

34 ✡“God wen tell dat he goin bring Christ back alive from mahke, an Christ no goin mahke one mo time afta dat, an his body no goin come rotten. He tell Christ,

“ ‘I goin give you plenny a my good an spesho stuff dat stay fo real,

Jalike I wen promise David I goin do.’

35 ✡“An David tell God dis inside anodda place inside da Bible,

“ ‘You no goin let da guy dat stay good an spesho fo you mahke one mo time

An his body come rotten.’

36 “David, he work fo do wat God like him fo do wen he stay alive, an den he mahke. Dey bury him wit his ancesta guys, an his body come rotten. 37 But Jesus, da Guy God wen bring back from mahke, he neva mahke one mo time an his body neva come rotten. 38-39 My braddahs an sistahs, dass why I like you guys know dis stuff. Cuz a Jesus, we tell you guys dat God can let you guys go, an hemo yoa shame fo all da bad kine stuff you do. Da Rules Moses wen write down no can take away dat bad stuff an make you guys get um right wit God. But all da peopo dat trus Jesus, dey get um right wit God awready. 40 ✡Watch out dat da bad stuff no happen to you guys, jalike wat da guys dat talk fo God befo time tell:

41 “ ‘You guys dat make fun a wat God tell,

Drop yoa jaws!

You goin come wipe out!

I stay ready fo make someting happen

Wen you guys still stay alive.

Someting you guys no goin tink

Az fo real kine,

No matta somebody

Tell you all about um.’ ”

Dass wat Paul tell um.

42 Den Paul an Barnabas go way from da Jew church. Da peopo tell um fo talk mo bout dis stuff da nex Res Day. 43 Wen da peopo go way from da Jew church, plenny Jew guys an guys dat come jalike Jews go wit Paul an Barnabas. Dey talk to dose guys, an tell um fo stay tight wit da God dat do choke plenny good tings fo dem.

44 Da nex Res Day almos all da peopo inside da town come fo hear Paul tell wat Da One In Charge tell. 45 Wen da Jew guys see all da peopo dass not Jews, dey come jealous, an talk bad bout da stuff Paul tell. 46 But Paul an Barnabas, dey no sked. Dey tell, “Firs, us gotta tell you Jew guys wat God tell. But cuz you guys no lissen, dat show you figga you not good enuff fo get da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! Az why now us guys goin go by da peopo dass not Jew guys. 47 ✡Cuz dis wat Da One In Charge tell us fo do,

“ ‘I make you guys jalike one light

Fo da diffren peopos dass not Jew guys,

Fo you tell all da peopo all ova da world

Dat I can get dem outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do.’ ”

48 Wen da peopo dass not Jew guys hear dat, dey come good inside, an tell good stuff bout wat Da One In Charge tell. An da peopo dat God pick fo get da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva, dey trus him.

49 Paul dem go all ova dat side an tell wat God tell. 50 Inside da town had high class religious wahines an had da leada guys fo da town. Inside da town, da Jew guys talk bad to dem bout Paul an Barnabas, so dose peopo start fo make Paul an Barnabas suffa, an den da leada guys throw um outa dat place. 51 ✡So Paul an Barnabas shake da dirt from dea feets fo show da peopo dea dat dey had it wit dem. Den dey go Iconium side. 52 Da guys dat stay tight wit Jesus come real good inside, an da Good An Spesho Spirit stay in charge a dem.

14

1 Wen Paul an Barnabas come Iconium town, dey go inside da Jew church jalike dey erytime go. Wat dey tell inside dea stay right on. Az why plenny Jew guys an peopo dass not Jew guys trus da Good Stuff Bout Jesus. 2 But da Jew guys dat no like trus um, dey talk to da guys dass not Jew guys an turn um agains Paul an Barnabas guys. 3 Paul an Barnabas stay dea long time an dey no sked fo talk fo Da One In Charge. Dey tell da peopo he get plenny aloha fo do plenny good tings fo dem.

An da peopo inside da town go two ways.

5 Da guys dass not Jew guys, an da Jew guys, an da Jew guy leadas make one plan fo how dey can make any kine to Paul an Barnabas an kill um wit stones. 6 Wen da guys Jesus wen sen all ova hear dat, dey bag to Lystra an Derbe towns, Lycaonia side, an all da place aroun dea. 7 Dey tell all da Good Stuff From God ova dea too.

Lystra An Derbe

(Outa Egypt 20:11; Songs 146:6)

8 Had one guy inside Lystra dat no can walk cuz he born lidat. 9 He lissen wat Paul tell bout da Good Stuff Bout Jesus. An Paul look him in da eye, an know dat da guy trus dat he can come good. 10 So Paul tell um real loud, “Stan up!” An da guy jump up an walk. 11 Wen all da peopo see wat Paul do, dey yell in da Lycaonia language, “Da gods wen come down by us, an dey look jalike peopo!” 12 Dey call Barnabas “Zeus,” dea main god, an call Paul “Hermes,” cuz he da talka guy. 13 Da pries guy fo Zeus, dat get one temple outside da town, he bring cows an leis by da gate fo da town cuz all da peopo like make one sacrifice fo Barnabas an Paul.

14 Wen Jesus guys Barnabas an Paul find out wat da peopo stay trying fo do, dey rip dea clotheses fo show dat wat da peopo stay do not pono. Dey run inside da middo a da peopo an yell 15 ✡“Eh you guys! How come you guys do all dis? Us ony peopo jalike you guys too! We come fo tell you guys da Good Stuff From God. We tell you guys ‘Turn away from all dis no good stuff, an look to da God dat stay alive foeva. He da God dat make da sky, da earth, an da ocean, an eryting inside um. 16 Befo time, he let all da diffren peopos inside da world do wateva dey like do. 17 But he show dem who him cuz he do good stuff fo dem. He give you guys rain from da sky an plenny fruit fo harves time. He give you guys plenny food fo eat an make you guys come real good inside.’ ” 18 Wen Paul pau tell dat, all da peopo try mo hard fo make sacrifice fo dem.

19 Den some a da Jew guys come from Antiok Pisidia side, an from Iconium, an dey make da Lystra peopo come dea side. Az why dey throw stones at Paul, an drag him outside da town cuz dey figga he mahke awready. 20 But da guys dat stay tight wit Jesus come aroun, an Paul stan up, an go back inside da town. Da nex day Paul an Barnabas go Derbe town.

Dey Come Back Antiok, Syria Side

21 Paul an Barnabas tell da Good Stuff From God inside Derbe town, an plenny peopo learn bout Jesus an come his guys. Den dey go back Lystra town, an Iconium, an den go Antiok Pisidia side. 22 Dey give good kine words to da peopo dat stay tight wit Jesus fo help um stick wit da Good Stuff Bout Jesus fo dem trus Jesus. Dey tell, “Us guys gotta suffa plenny befo us guys see God come oua king.” 23 Paul an Barnabas pick some guys fo be da older leadas, ery place wea da peopo come togedda fo church.

15

Dey Come Togedda Jerusalem Side

(Amos 9:11-12; Isaiah 45:21)

1 ✡Some Jew guys dat follow Jesus come from Judea to Antiok an dey teach da braddahs an sistahs. Dey tell, “If you no cut skin jalike Moses wen tell oua ancesta guys fo do, you no can get outa da bad kine stuff you stay do.” 2 Paul an Barnabas no take wat dey tell an make one big argue agains all dat. Cuz a dat, da Antiok church leadas pick Paul an Barnabas an some odda guys dat trus Jesus. Dey sen um Jerusalem side fo talk bout dis cut skin stuff wit da guys Jesus wen sen all ova, an wit da older Jerusalem leadas.

3 Da Antiok church guys sen um. Dey stop by Fonecia an Samaria. Dey tell all da braddahs an sistahs dea, “Get plenny peopo Antiok side dat trus Jesus, an dey not Jew guys.” Az why all da braddahs an sistahs feel real good inside wen dey hear all dat. 4 Wen Paul an Barnabas guys come Jerusalem, da peopo dat come togedda fo church, an da guys Jesus wen sen all ova, an da older leadas, dey all show dem aloha. An Paul an Barnabas tell um all da stuff God do wit dem. 5 But some a da Pharisee guys dat trus da Good Stuff Bout Jesus stan up an tell, “Da guys dass not Jew guys, no matta dey trus Jesus, dey gotta cut skin too an do all da odda stuff Moses wen write down inside da Rules.”

6 Da guys Jesus wen sen all ova an da older leadas come togedda fo talk bout dat. 7 ✡Dey talk long time. Den Peter stan up an tell, “Braddahs, you know dat befo time God pick me fo go tell da peopo dass not Jew guys da Good Stuff Bout Jesus fo dem trus him. 8 ✡God, he know wat us guys tink. He show us dat he take in da peopo dass not Jew guys, cuz he make his Good An Spesho Spirit take charge a dem, jalike he wen do fo us guys. 9 God see dem same same jalike he see us. He make dem clean inside cuz dey trus him. 10 How come now you guys try go agains God?! You ack jalike God see da guys dass not Jew, da same jalike he see us Jew guys? How come you guys put heavy kine rules on top da guys dass not Jew but stay tight wit Jesus? You guys know dat us guys an oua ancesta guys no can follow all dose rules. 11 No ways can! We trus dat we get outa da bad kine stuff we do, but az not cuz we do wat da Rules tell us fo do. Az cuz Jesus, Da One In Charge, do plenny good tings fo us guys, jalike he do fo da peopo dass not Jew guys.”

12 All da guys come quiet an lissen wat Paul an Barnabas tell bout all da awesome stuff God do fo show his powa wen dey stay wit da peopo dass not Jew guys. 13 Wen dey pau talk, James tell, “Braddahs, lissen up. 14 Simon Peter wen tell us bout da time God show dat he take kea da peopo dass not Jew guys, cuz he pick some peopo fo come his guys from da guys dass not Jews. 15 Da guys dat wen talk fo God long time befo time, dey tell da same ting. Dey write dis down inside da Bible dat God tell dis:

16 ✡“ ‘Afta dis I goin come back

An I goin make David ohana come good one mo time,

Jalike wen peopo fix up one bus up house.

17 Den all da odda peopos,

An all da peopo dat stay mines

Dass not Jew guys,

Dey can look fo me too.

18 Dass wat Da One In Charge tell,

He da One dat do all dis stuff

An he tell us dis long time befo time.’ ”

19 An James tell dis too: “Dis how I figga. Mo betta we no make rules dat goin make um mo hard fo da diffren peopos dass not Jew guys fo trus God. 20 ✡Mo betta we write um one letta fo help da Jews an da odda peopo come togedda fo tell um:

No eat da food da peopo give to da idol kine gods, an

No fool aroun nobody, an

No eat da meat from da animals dey wen choke, an

21 “Cuz da Rules Moses wen write down, get peopo teach dat stuff in all da towns from long time befo time, an dey read um in all da Jew churches ery Res Day.”

Dass why you guys betta shut yoa mouts an no do notting stupid. 37 You guys bring dese guys ova hea, an dey neva steal notting from da temple, an dey neva talk bad bout oua wahine god. 38 So den, if Demetrius an his worka guys get someting fo tell agains somebody, dey can go in front da judge an da govnas. Dey can squawk agains um ova dea. 39 If you get mo tings you like fo tell agains dem, you gotta go court jalike da rules tell you fo do. 40 Cuz if we no do wat da rules tell, da Rome army guys goin put us in jail fo make dis big beef, cuz we no can tell um az good we make lidis.” 41 Wen he pau tell dat, den he tell erybody fo go home.

Anodda ting, he wen bring guys dass not Jew guys inside da open lanai fo da Temple, an make dis place dat stay spesho fo God come all pilau so no can pray dea.” 29 ✡(Dass cuz befo time dey wen see Trofimus, da guy from Efesus, inside Jerusalem wit Paul, an dey tink Paul bring him inside da open lanai fo da Temple.)

30 All da peopo from Jerusalem stay amping out cuz dey huhu, an dey come running from all ova da place. Dey grab Paul an drag him outa da open lanai fo da Temple.

6 “Den wen almos noon time, I come nea Damascus. Right den an dea had one big light from da sky dat flash aroun me. 7 I fall down on top da groun, an I hear one voice dat tell me, ‘Saul! Saul! How come you make me suffa?’ 8 I tell, ‘Who you, Boss?’ He tell, ‘Dis me, Jesus from Nazaret, da guy you make suffa.’ 9 Da guys dat wen go wit me see da light, but dey neva hear da voice dat talk to me. 10 I tell, ‘Wat I gotta do, Boss?’ An Da One In Charge tell me, ‘Stan up an go Damascus. Ova dea dey goin tell you all da stuff you gotta do.’ 11 My frenz take my hand an lead me inside Damascus cuz da light stay real bright. Az how I come blind an no see notting.

12 “One guy name Ananias come by me.

Stan up, get baptize. An all da bad kine stuff you wen do, Da One In Charge goin clean um up an throw um away cuz you aks him fo help you.’

Paul Gotta Tell Da Peopo Dass Not Jews

17 “I go back Jerusalem, an I stay pray inside da temple. I see someting jalike one dream, an see Da One In Charge talking. 18 He tell me, ‘Hurry up! Go way from Jerusalem right now cuz dey no goin like da stuff you tell bout me!’ 19 I tell him, ‘Eh Boss, dey know I wen go from one Jew church to anodda fo throw da peopo dat stay trus you inside jail, an bus um up. 20 ✡An wen dey kill da guy Stephen dat talk fo you, I wen stan dea an tell um, “Dass good!” an I take kea da clotheses fo da guys dat kill him.’ 21 But Da One In Charge tell me, ‘Go! I goin sen you far away by da diffren peopos dass not Jew guys.’ ”

22 Da peopo lissen Paul till he tell dat. Den dey start fo yell, “Kill um! Mo betta he no stay no moa!” 23 Dey yell, an wave dea coats aroun, an throw dus from dea clotheses up in da air. 24 Da main captain fo da Rome army guys tell his guys fo take Paul inside da army place. Da captain tell um fo whip him real hard, an fo make him talk fo da captain know how come da peopo yell at him lidat. 25 Wen dey stretch him out fo whip him real hard, Paul tell da captain dat stay dea, “Dis okay in da rules fo da Rome peopo? Fo you whip one guy dat get da same rights jalike da Rome peopo? Even one guy dat neva do notting wrong?”

26 Wen da captain hear dat, he go an tell da main captain, “Wat you goin do? Dis guy get da same rights jalike da Rome peopo!”

27 Da main captain go by Paul an tell, “Eh, tell me, you get da same rights jalike one Rome guy, o wat?”

Paul tell, “Dass right.”

28 Den da main captain tell, “I wen pay plenny money fo get da same rights jalike one Rome guy.”

2 Wen he tell dat, Ananias da Main Pries Guy tell da guys standing by Paul fo slap Paul mout. 3 ✡Den Paul tell him, “God goin wack you. You jalike one wall dey cova wit white kine paint. You sit dea fo judge me jalike da Rules From God tell, but den, you broke da Rules From God too, cuz you tell da guys fo slap me!”

4 Da guys dat stan nea Paul tell, “Eh, you stay talking bad to God Main Pries Guy!”

5 ✡Paul tell, “Braddahs, I neva know he da Main Pries Guy. Da Bible tell, ‘No talk bad bout da leada fo yoa peopo.’ ”

6 ✡Den Paul figga dat some a dem was Sadducee guys an da oddas was Pharisee guys. So he yell inside dea, “My braddahs, I one Pharisee guy, an one Pharisee guy boy. Dey bring me in front da main leadas, cuz I stay shua dat us goin come back alive from mahke.”

7 Wen he tell dat, da Pharisee guys an Sadducee guys ova dea start fo make argue wit each odda, an dat make um split up. 8 ✡Cuz da Sadducee guys tell dat nobody goin come back alive from mahke, an no mo angel guys, an no mo spirits. But da Pharisee guys tink all dat stuff az fo real! 9 All dem make big noise, an den some a da Pharisee teacha guys dat teach da Rules From God stan up an make argue real hard. Dey tell, “We no can find notting wrong wit dis guy. Maybe one spirit o one angel guy talk to him.” 10 Dey make argue even mo plenny, an da main captain figga dey goin broke up Paul. He tell his army guys fo go down, take Paul away from dem, an take him inside da army place.

11 Da nex nite Da One In Charge stan by Paul an tell, “No sked! Be strong! Jalike you wen tell da peopo bout me inside Jerusalem, you goin tell um bout me inside Rome too.”

Dey Try Kill Paul

12 Wen da sun come up, da Jew guys come togedda an make one plan bout Paul. Dey make one promise dat dey no goin eat o drink notting till dey kill um. 13 Mo den forty guys tell dat. 14 Dey go by da Main Pries guys an da older leadas an tell, “We make one strong promise dat we no goin eat notting till we kill Paul. 15 So you an da main leada guys go tell da main captain fo bring him in front you, an you ack jalike you like find out mo stuff bout wat he wen do. An we stay ready fo kill him befo he come ova hea.”

16 But Paul sistah boy hear bout dat, an he go da army place, an tell Paul. 17 Den Paul tell one a da captains fo come an he tell him, “Take dis young guy by da main captain. He get someting fo tell him.”

18 So den da captain take da young guy by da main captain, an tell, “Paul, da prisona guy, he tell me fo bring dis young guy by you cuz he like tell you someting.”

19 Da main captain take da young guy by da hand, an take him by da side, an tell, “Wat you like tell me?”

20 He tell, “Da Jew guys make one plan. Dey goin tell you fo bring Paul in front da main leada guys tomorra. Dey goin ack jalike dey like find out mo stuff bout him. 21 No do wat dey tell, cuz mo den forty guys stay hide an stay waiting fo him. Dey wen make one strong promise dat dey no goin eat o drink notting till dey kill um. Dey stay ready now. Dey stay waiting fo you fo do wat dey tell.”

22 Da main captain tell, “No tell nobody dat you wen tell me dis.” An he let him go.

An I tell da guys dat poin finga him fo come tell you bout um.”

31 Da army guys do wat he tell um fo do. Dey take Paul wit dem dat nite, an bring him Antipatris side. 32 Da nex day, dey let da guys on horses take him da res a da way, an dey go back dea place. 33 Wen da guys on horses come to Cesarea, dey give da letta to da govna, an give Paul to da govna too. 34 Da govna read da letta, an aks him wea he come from. Wen he hear dat Paul from Cilicia, 35 he tell, “I goin lissen you wen da guys come dat poin finga you.” Den he tell da guys fo take Paul ova to Herod palace an guard him ova dea.

Den I goin let um go, an hemo dea shame fo all da bad kine stuff dey do. Den dey can come togedda wit all da peopo dat trus me an come good an spesho fo me.’

19 “So den, King Agrippa, I wen do wat God tell me fo do. 20 ✡Firs I go by da peopo inside Damascus, an den inside Jerusalem an all ova Judea. An I tell da peopo dass not Jew guys too dat dey gotta come sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey do, an turn to God. An dey gotta show dat dey sorry fo real kine by da good kine stuff dey stay do. 21 Dass why da Jew guys wen grab me inside da open lanai fo da Temple an try fo kill me. 22 But God help me erytime till now. So I stan hea an talk to da peopo dat importan an da peopo dat not importan. I ony tell da stuff dat Moses an da odda guys dat befo time talk fo God tell goin happen. I no tell odda stuff. 23 ✡I tell um dat da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen gotta suffa. An he da firs guy fo come back alive from mahke. An he goin tell his peopo an da peopo dass not Jew guys bout da light from God.”

24 Befo Paul pau talk Festus yell, an tell, “Paul, you pupule! All da stuff you learn make you pupule!”

25 Paul tell, “Yoa Honor Festus, I not pupule. Wat I tell stay true. An you can undastan um. 26 I know fo shua you da king, an you know bout dis stuff, an I can talk fo real kine to you. Fo shua you know bout all dis stuff, cuz wen happen one place erybody can see um. 27 King Agrippa, you trus wat da guys wen write down dat talk fo God? I know you trus um.”

29 Paul tell, “Litto bit time o long time. I pray an aks God dat you an all da peopo dat stay lissen me now goin come jalike me—but not tie up wit chains lidis.”

30 Da king, an da govna, an Queen Bernice, an da oddas dat sit wit dem stan up. 31 Dey go outa da room, an tell each odda, “Dis guy neva do notting wrong fo him gotta mahke o go prison.” 32 An Agrippa tell Festus, “Dis guy aks fo stan in front da Big King Cesar, so we gotta sen um dea an no let um go!”

Paul Ride Sail Boat Fo Rome

1 Da leadas tell us goin ride boat Italy side, an dey turn ova Paul an some odda prisona guys to one captain Julius from Cesar army guys. 2 We go inside one boat from Adramyttium dat stay ready fo go da port towns on da West Asia coast, an we go out on da ocean. Aristarkus from Macedonia, Tessalonika side, go wit us. 3 Da nex day we come Sidon, an we go on top da land. Julius like do someting good fo Paul, an he let um go by his frenz fo dem take kea him. 4 We go from ova dea out on da ocean one mo time an pass nea Cyprus Islan on da leeward side cuz da wind blow agains us. 5 We go out da open ocean by da Cilicia an Pamfylia coast, an come Myra, Lycia side, an go on top da land. 6 Ova dea da captain find one boat from Alexandria dat goin go Italy side, an he put us on top um.

7 Plenny days we go slow, an had hard time fo come by Knidus Islan. Da wind neva let us go da way we like, so we ride boat by Crete Islan, leeward side, unda Salmone Head. 8 Had hard time wen we go by da coast side. An we come by one place dey call “Safe Harbor” nea Lasea town.

9 We lose plenny time, an da Spesho Day Fo No Eat So Can Pray come awready. Da ocean stay too rough fo ride boat dat time. So Paul tell um, 10 “Eh, you guys. Mo betta we no ride boat. If we ride boat bumbye garans we goin get one rough time. We goin get wipe out, an we goin lose da boat an all da stuffs too.” 11 But da captain neva like lissen Paul. He do wat da local navigata guy an da boat owna tell um fo do. 12 Da port town no stay good fo da winta time, an almos all da guys tink mo betta fo go. Dey figga dey can go Phoenix an stay ova dea winta time. Phoenix one port town Crete side dat face da southwest an da northwest.

Da Storm On Da Ocean

13 Get litto bit wind start fo blow from da south, an dey tink dass da one dey need. So dey pull up da anchor an ride boat close by da Crete coast. 14 Afta short time one wind dass real strong jalike one hurricane blow on um from da islan. Dat wind get da name “Da Northeast” (Jesus Guys 27:14). 15 Da storm grab da boat, an dey no can handle um in da wind. Az why we give up, an da wind blow us. 16 Wen we pass by one small islan Cauda, on da leeward side, we almos no can bring da lifeboat up. 17 Da guys bring um up on top da big boat, an dey tie ropes good aroun da big boat fo hold um togedda. Dey sked dat dey goin scrape on da sand bar by Syrtis inside Africa. Dey put out da sea anchor an let da boat go wit da wind. 18 Da wind poun us real hard, an da nex day da guys start fo throw da stuffs dey carry on da boat ova inside da ocean. 19 Day numba three, da guys even throw da stuff fo make da boat work inside da ocean. 20 Plenny days da sun an da stars neva come out, an da storm stay real strong. Az wen us lose fight an tink we no goin get outa dis.

21 Da guys neva eat plenny days, an den Paul stan up in front dem an tell, “Eh, you guys, you neva like lissen me wen I tell we betta not ride boat from Crete. If you guys wen lissen, we neva get all dis trouble an lose all da stuffs, but you neva lissen. 22 Now I tell you guys, no give up, cuz you all goin come outa dis. We ony goin lose da boat. 23 I stay tight wit God an work fo him, you know. Las nite one angel messenja guy from God stan by me. 24 He tell, ‘No sked, Paul. You gotta stan in front da Big King Cesar. God stay do plenny good kine stuff fo you, an now he goin let all da guys dat ride boat wit you come outa dis okay. Dey no goin mahke.’ 25 You guys, no give up! Cuz I trus God dat he goin do jalike wat he tell me he goin do. 26 But da boat goin come all bus up on one islan.”

27 Afta fourteen nites da wind still blow us across da Adriatic Sea. Bout midnite da saila guys figga dey come nea land. 28 Dey drop one line fo find out dat da watta stay one hundred an twenny feet deep. Afta short time dey find out dat da watta stay ninety feet deep. 29 Dey come sked dat da wind goin poun us agains da rocks. So dey put down four anchors from da back an pray dat da day time goin come fas. 30 Da saila guys try fo escape from da boat, an put da lifeboat down inside da ocean. Dey ack jalike dey goin put down da anchors from da front a da big boat. 31 Paul tell da captain an da army guys, “If dese guys no stay by da boat, you no goin come outa dis.” 32 So da army guys cut da ropes fo da lifeboat an let da lifeboat go.

33 Jus befo da sun come up, Paul beg da guys fo eat. He tell, “Fourteen days you guys wait, an you neva eat notting. 34 Now I beg you guys fo eat someting. You need um fo stay alive. You guys no goin lose even one hair from yoa head.” 35 Wen he tell dat, he take some bread an tell God “Mahalo plenny!” in front all dem. Den he broke da bread an start fo eat. 36 Dat kokua dem, an dey all eat. 37 (Had two hundred seventy-six guys on top da boat.) 38 Wen dey eat all da stuff dey like, dey throw da wheat inside da ocean an make da boat mo light.

Da Boat Come Bus Up

39 Wen da sun come up, dey neva know da land dey come to. But dey spock one bay an one sandy beach. Dey figga az mo betta fo make da boat crash ova dea. 40 Dey cut da ropes fo da anchors an leave um inside da ocean. Same time dey hemo da ropes from da ruddas. Den dey put up all da sails in front to da wind an steer um to da beach. 41 But da boat hit one side current. Da front come stuck in da rocks an no can move. Da back come all bus up cuz da surf stay poun um.

42 Da army guys like kill da prisona guys fo dem no swim away an escape. 43 But da captain like take Paul outa dea alive, az why he neva let da army guys take ova da prisonas. He tell da guys dat can swim fo jump ova inside da ocean firs an swim to da land. 44 He tell da odda guys fo hang on da boards o da pieces from da boat. Az how all da guys come to da land, an nobody mahke.

28

Malta Side

1 We come to da land okay, an we find out dis Malta Islan. 2 Da local peopo show us plenny aloha. Dey make one fire an tell us fo come cuz stay rain an cold. 3 Paul bring some wood fo da fire. Wen he put um on top da fire, one snake come outa da wood, cuz stay hot. Da snake bite Paul hand. 4 Wen da local peopo spock da snake dat hang from Paul hand, dey tell each odda, “Eh, fo shua dis guy wen kill somebody. He get outa da ocean okay, but da gods no goin let um stay alive.” 5 But Paul shake off da snake from his hand inside da fire, an notting happen to Paul. 6 Da peopo tink he goin swell up o mahke fas. Dey wait plenny, an dey neva see notting funny kine happen. So dey change dea mind an tell, “Eh! Fo shua he one god!”

7 Had one big place nea dea fo da govna fo da islan, his name Publius. He show us aloha an tell us come inside his house. We stay dea fo three day, an he take kea us real good. 8 His faddah stay sick in bed. He get one feva an da runs. Paul go by him an pray an put his hands on top um, an he make um come good. 9 Afta dat, da peopo bring all da odda sick peopo on da islan, an Paul make dem come good too. 10 Dey give us guys plenny stuffs cuz dey get respeck fo us. Wen we ready fo ride boat, dey give us all da stuffs we need.

From Malta To Rome

11 Afta three month we ride boat on top one boat dat stay Malta Islan all winta. Da boat come from Alexandria an had da twin gods Castor an Pollux on da front. 12 We come Syracuse an stay ova dea three day. 13 We ride boat from dea an come Regium. Da nex day da south wind come, an da nex day we come Puteoli. 14 Ova dea we meet some braddahs. Dey tell us fo come stay dea house fo one week. An den we go way from dea fo go Rome. 15 Da braddahs ova dea hear dat we stay come, an dey come to da Appius Market an da Three Taverns fo meet us. Wen Paul spock dem, dat kokua him, an he tell God “Mahalo plenny.”

Inside Rome

(Isaiah 6:9-10)

16 We go inside Rome, an dey let Paul stay inside one place wea ony he stay, an one army guy guard um.

17 Afta three day Paul tell da leadas fo da Jew guys fo come. Wen dey come, Paul tell um, “My braddahs, I neva do notting agains oua peopo o agains wat oua ancesta guys wen do. But dey wen jail me inside Jerusalem an hand me ova to da Rome guys. 18 Da Rome guys aks me plenny stuffs, an dey like let me go, cuz I neva do notting fo make me mahke. 19 ✡But da Jew guys neva like dem fo let me go. So den, I tell I gotta come in front da Big King Cesar. But I no mo notting fo poin finga my peopo. 20 So I tell dese guys, ‘I like talk to you guys. I stay shua dat God goin take da Israel peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in. Dass why dey tie me up wit dis chain.’ ”

21 Da Jew guys tell, “We neva get no lettas from Judea bout you. An da braddahs dat come from ova dea neva tell notting bad bout you. 22 But we like lissen wat you tell. We know dat da peopo all ova da place stay grumble bout dis kine stuff you teach.”

23 Den da Jew guys tell dey goin come togedda one spesho day. An dat time even mo peopo come to da place wea Paul stay. Wen da sun come up till da sun go down, he tell um all da stuff bout how fo get God fo dea king. He try help um fo trus da Good Stuff Bout Jesus. He start wit da stuff Moses write down inside da Rules, an den he talk bout da odda guys dat talk fo God befo time. 24 Some guys trus da Good Stuff Paul tell um, but da odda guys neva like trus um. 25 Dey go way an make argue wit each odda. But firs Paul tell, “Da Good An Spesho Spirit wen tell yoa ancesta guys da trut! Isaiah talk fo God 26 ✡an tell,

“ ‘God tell me fo go by dis peopo an tell,

“You guys goin hear,

But you no goin undastan.

You guys goin see,

But you not goin see fo real.

27 Cuz dis peopo, dey hard head,

Dey no can hear good wit dea ears.

Dey shut dea eyes,

Cuz dey no like see fo real.

Dey no like hear wass fo real.

Inside dey no like undastan fo real.

Dey no like change

Fo me make um come good.” ’

Dass wat Isaiah tell.”

28 Paul tell, “I like you guys know dat God sen his guys by da peopo dass not Jew guys, fo him take dem outa da bad kine stuff dey do. An dey goin lissen!” 29 [So da Jew guys go way an make argue real hard wit each odda.]

30 Fo two year, Paul stay ova dea inside one house he wen rent. He show aloha fo all da peopo dat come by him. 31 He teach um how fo get God fo dea king an all bout Da One In Charge, Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. He not sked fo tell um all dat, an nobody try make him shut up.

Da Good Kine Stuff From God
Get Plenny Powa

(Habakkuk 2:4)

16 ✡I no shame notting bout da Good Kine Stuff From God. Dat stuff get plenny powa from God fo get peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do, wen dey trus him. Was da Jew guys dat wen find out bout um firs, an afta dem, all da odda peopos from diffren places find out bout him too. 17 ✡Wen you tink bout all dis Good Kine Stuff From God, you goin undastan wat God wen do fo make peopo come pono wit him. But gotta trus him from da start to da end. Da Bible tell dis befo time:

“Da guy dat erytime do wass right,

He goin live fo real kine cuz he trus me.”

Erybody Do Wat Dey Not Suppose To Do

18 One mo ting God show us guys: Get peopo ack jalike God no matta, an dey do da kine tings dey not suppose to do. But God had it wit wat dey do. Az why he goin judge um from up dea in da sky. Inside, dey know wass true, but dey stay do da kine tings dey not suppose to do. Az why dey no let odda peopo know wass true. 19 Dey no mo excuse cuz easy fo dem undastan bout God. Cuz God show dem fo real kine bout him awready. 20 Dat mean, from befo time wen God make da world, anybody dat try fo undastan da stuffs God wen make, dey can figga how God stay, no matta dey no can see him. You know, God get dis unreal powa dat goin stay lidat foevas. Az why he stay God fo shua. An erybody can undastan all dat. Az why dey no mo excuse fo how dey ack.

21 ✡Dey know bout God, but dey no like tell him, “Eh, you stay awesome cuz you stay God!” Dey no like tell um “Mahalo plenny!” Dass why ony poho wat dey tink bout God. Cuz dey no undastan notting, jalike eryting come all dark inside dem.

22 Dey tell erybody dey smart an know wat fo do erytime. But cuz dey tink lidat, dey stay come mo stupid. 23 ✡Dey no like stay tight wit da God dat erytime stay awesome an no goin mahke bumbye. But dese guys, dey tink lidis: “We no like dat kine God! Mo betta we stay tight wit one idol kine god dat look jalike one guy, no matta bumbye dat kine god goin come wipe out. O mo betta oua god goin look jalike one bird o one lizard o anodda animal.”

24 Cuz how dey stay ack, God wen let um go an do wat dey like. He let um do all kine pilau kine stuff cuz dass how dey like do um inside. Dass why dey no shame how dey make any kine wit dea bodies wit odda peopo. 25 Dem guys, dey wen throw out da true stuffs from God, an keep da bulaia kine stuff. Dey show respeck fo all da stuffs God wen make, an dey do all da kine religious king stuffs fo um. But da One dat make eryting, dey no show love an respeck fo him, da God I stay talk about. Da one you can talk good bout him erytime! Dass it!

26 An dass why God let dem guys do all dat, an dey ony do wat dey like do. An so dey come all hot up, an no shame notting. Eh, you know, even da wahines go agains wass natural an do wass not natural. 27 An same ting wit da guys. Dey no like make natural kine wit da wahines. One guy stay all hot up fo anodda guy. Dey no shame notting fo how dey ack wit each odda. Cuz a dat, dey goin get it! Dey stay far from da right way, an dey goin get wat dey get fo how dey ack.

28 Cuz dey tink, “Mo betta we no stay tight wit God fo real kine!” Az why God let um ack how dey like ack. An dey ony tink fo do no good kine stuffs. Dass how dey ack.

29 Dey full a stuff dass not pono, an real bad kine stuff. Dey greedy buggahs dat get real pilau attitude. Dey all jealous. Dey like kill peopo. Dey like beef erybody. Dey sneaky buggahs. Dey ony tink bad kine stuff. An dey tell stuffs dey not suppose to tell bout odda guys. 30 Dey talk bad bout odda peopo. Dey erytime hate God. Dey ack real high makamaka fo peopo no come by dem. Dey tink dey it. Dey talk big. Dey try tink how dey can make eryting hamajang. Dey no lissen wat dea muddah an faddah guys tell um fo do. 31 Dey no like undastan notting. Dey make one promise but dey no keep um. Dey no mo love an aloha, an dey no give peopo chance notting.

32 God wen tell um wass pono fo dem do, an dey wen hear all dat awready. Dey know dis too: if get anybody dat no ack jalike how God tell um fo ack, fo shua dey goin mahke. But dese guys do all dat kine stuff anyway, an dey tink az good wen da odda guys ack lidat too.

God Da Judge Goin Tell Um Fo Real Kine

1 ✡So den, no matta who you, if you poin finga somebody dat do bad kine stuff, no foget you do da same kine tings jalike him. Eh, you too no mo excuse cuz you poin finga you.

2 But we know dis: Erytime God tell dat da peopo wen do bad kine stuff, we know wat he tell stay true.

3 So, wat you tink? Wen you poin finga da odda guys cuz dey stay do bad kine stuff, an you stay do da same ting, you tink God goin let you go? No ways!

4 God get plenny good heart fo you, an he stay hang in dea an wait fo you. An den, you make jalike dass notting? You no tink he like you come sorry an no do da bad kine stuff no moa, o wat?!

5 But you get hard head. An you no like change wat you do. So, you stay make tings mo worse fo you. Bumbye God da Judge goin tell who wen do bad kine stuff, an erybody goin know dat God judge da right way. Den he goin punish you cuz he had it wit wat you do. 6 ✡Da way peopo ack, God goin pay erybody fo wat dey wen do, good o bad.

7 God goin give some peopo da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva, cuz erytime dey hang in dea an do da right ting. Dey like get plenny respeck from God, an get da real kine life. 8 But da odda peopos, God had it wit wat dey do. He had it wit dem awready, cuz dey like make big kine trouble. Dey no like do da true stuff, but dey erytime like do wass wrong.

9 Erybody dat stay do da bad kine stuff goin get hard time fo live, an dey goin stress out plenny. Dat goin happen to da Jew guys firs. Den goin happen to da odda peopos dass not Jew guys. 10 But erybody dat stay do da good kine stuff, God goin show dem plenny respeck, an notting goin bodda dem. Dat goin happen to da Jew guys firs. Den goin happen to da odda peopos dass not Jew guys. 11 ✡God make same same to erybody. 12 Erybody dat do bad kine stuff, no matta dey donno da Rules God wen make fo erybody, dey goin get cut off from God foeva. An erybody dat do da bad kine stuff, an dey know da Rules From God, God goin use da Rules fo judge dem. 13 Fo get um right wit God, not enuff fo ony hear da Rules From God. You gotta do jalike da Rules From God tell you fo do fo get um right wit him.

14 Da peopo dass not Jew guys, dey donno da Rules From God. But if get some a dem dat do jalike da Rules From God tell um fo do, no matta dey neva learn da Rules, dey ack jalike dey get um fo real kine. 15 How dey ack, dat show dey get da Rules From God right dea inside dem. Inside dey know bout wat dey do wen dey tink wat stay right an wat stay wrong. 16 Dass how goin be bumbye wen God goin make Jesus Christ da Judge fo da secret stuff inside erybody. Dass wat da Good Kine Stuff From God tell, an dis wat I stay teach.

Da Jew Peopo An Da Rules From God

17 Now you, you like peopo fo know you one Jew guy, an you trus da Rules From God. You talk big bout God, 18 an you know wat God like you fo do. You know wass da bestes kine stuff, cuz da teachas wen teach you from da Rules From God. 19 You stay shua you can kokua da peopo dat no can see fo show um wea fo go. You figga you jalike one light fo all da peopo dat stay inside da dark. 20 You can teach da peopo dat donno notting an da ones dat still need one teacha. Cuz you get da Rules From God, you figga you get all da trut an you know eryting.

21 So, wen you teach odda peopo, how come you no do wat da Rules you teach tell dem fo do? You go preach no go steal stuff. So den, how come you steal stuff, aah? 22 You tell, “No go fool aroun behind yoa husban o wife back.” But you fool aroun too, aah? You tink da idol kine gods no good. But you cockaroach stuff from dea temples too, aah? 23 You talk big bout da Rules From God. But you make God come shame cuz you broke da Rules, aah? 24 ✡Jalike Isaiah wen tell befo time, “Da peopos dass not Jew guys talk stink bout God an give God one bad rep cuz a you guys.”

25 If you do wat da Rules From God tell you fo do, az good you get da cut skin mark dat show you one Jew guy. But if you go broke da Rules From God, az jalike you no mo da mark awready, an you not one Jew guy fo real kine. 26 So den, if get one guy dat not one Jew, an he do all da good kine stuff da Rules From God tell um fo do, den no matta he neva cut skin, he God guy. Dass jalike he get da mark too. 27 So den, da peopo dass not Jew guys, no matta dey no mo da cut skin mark, if dey do wat da Rules From God tell um fo do, dey goin show dat you Jew guys wen broke da Rules From God. You guys broke da Rules no matta you get da Rules inside da Bible from befo time, an get da cut skin mark too.

28 Jus cuz somebody dat come from Abraham get da cut skin mark on top his body, dat no make him one Jew guy fo real kine. 29 ✡Da Jew guy dass fo real, stay fo real lidat inside. God Spirit stay in charge a da guy, an dass jalike one spesho mark inside him. Da Rules inside one book, dass no make him God kid. He no need peopo tell um he good cuz God tell um he good.

Mo Stuff Bout Da Jew Peopo
An Da Rules From God

1 So den, how come mo betta fo be one Jew guy? You tink da Jew guy dat get da cut skin mark stay mo spesho den da guy dass not Jew? 2 Az right! Cuz dat help um plenny. Numba one, cuz God trus da Jew guys fo take kea eryting he like fo peopo know. 3 But wat? You tink God no can do wat he tell he goin do, jus cuz had some Jew guys dat neva like trus him? 4 ✡No ways! No matta erybody one bulaia, God erytime tell wass true! Jalike da Bible tell befo time,

“Da peopo goin find out

Dat wat he tell, az right.

No matta dey tell dat he do wrong,

He goin win still yet,

Cuz he no do da bad kine stuff notting.”

5 But if we do da wrong tings, an dat show erybody dat fo real kine God stay do da right tings, den wat bout dat? We goin tell God do wrong wen he punish us, o wat? (Dass how some peopo talk, you know.) 6 No ways! God no do da wrong kine stuff notting wen he punish us. Dass why he get da right fo punish da peopo inside da world wen dey do da wrong kine stuff.

7 If I go bulai, an if dat show erybody fo real kine dat God tell da trut, an dat show how awesome God stay, den how come God tell da ting I wen do was bad, aah?

8 Get some bad peopo dat stay talk bad bout us an tell peopo dat we talk lidis: “Eh, we go do bad kine stuff, so den eryting goin come good!” You know, God goin do da right ting wen he punish da peopo dat tink lidat!

No Mo Nobody Dat Do
Da Right Ting Erytime

(Songs 5:9; 14:1-3; 36:1; 53:1-3; 140:3; 143:2; Smart Guys 1:6; Teacha 7:20; Isaiah 59:7-8)

9 So wat, den? You tink us Jew guys mo betta den dem? No way! Cuz I awready show you guys dat da bad kine stuff get powa ova erybody, da Jew guys an da ones dass not Jew guys. 10 ✡Jalike da Bible befo time tell,

“No mo nobody dat do da right ting erytime.

No mo even one guy!

11 No mo nobody dat undastan,

No mo nobody dat try fo know God!

12 Nobody eva do how dey suppose to do.

Poho, erybody come!

No mo nobody do good tings,

No mo even one guy!

13 ✡Dea mout real haunas jalike one open grave.

Dey bulai wit dea mout.

Da poison come from inside dea mout,

Jalike one snake.

14 ✡Wit dea mout

Dey erytime talk bad fo hurt somebody,

Cuz az how dey stay inside.

15 ✡Dey move fas

Fo kill somebody.

16 Ery place dey go,

Dey like bus up eryting,

An make big trouble fo peopo.

17 Dey donno how fo make good wit odda peopo,

Fo make dem come so notting bodda dem.

18 ✡Dey no mo respeck fo God notting.”

19 We know eryting wat da Rules From God tell, fo da peopo dat get da Rules ova dem. Dass why no can make excuse wit God. An bumbye erybody all ova da world gotta go in front God da Judge fo show dey all get da blame. 20 ✡Dass why no mo nobody dat can tell dat dey get um right wit God, jus cuz dey wen do eryting da Rules From God tell um fo do. Da Rules From God ony show dat us guys wen do bad kine stuff.

Wen We Trus God,
He Make Us Get Um Right Wit Him

21 Now us guys know how God plan um fo us get um right wit him. Can get um right wit him, but not cuz a da Rules From God. Da Rules From God an da guys dat wen talk fo God long time befo time, dey tell all dat inside da Bible. 22 ✡God wen make us come right wit him wen we go trus Jesus Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. He do dat fo erybody dat trus him, no matta who you.

23 Cuz erybody do bad kine stuff, dass why nobody can do notting fo come awesome da way God like make dem come awesome. 24 But can get um right wit God, cuz God get one good heart an like do plenny good stuff fo peopo. God cut dem loose from da powa da bad kine stuff get ova dem, wen dey stay tight wit Jesus Christ.

25 God wen make Jesus da main guy, fo him be da sacrifice fo hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff erybody do. Dass if dey trus him an dey stay shua dat he wen go bleed an mahke fo dem. Dass how God show dat he make eryting come right: he let um go fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do befo time, an he hemo dea shame. 26 You know, befo time God give peopo chance fo no do bad kine stuff. Nowdays, fo show erybody dat he erytime do da right ting, he make erybody dat trus Jesus get um right wit him.

27 You tink you can talk big now, o wat? No ways! Wot?! You tell you get one Rule dat tell you get um right wit God cuz you wen do good kine stuffs? Eh, not even! Us can ony tell bout dat Rule dat tell we get um right wit God cuz we trus um.

28 So dis how stay: Anybody can get um right wit God wen dey trus him, not wen dey ony do da stuff da Rules From God tell um fo do.

29 Kay den. God, he ony fo da Jew guys, o wat? You tink he not God fo da peopo dass not Jew guys too? Fo shua, he da God fo dem too!

30 ✡Cuz ony get one God. Da guys dat get da cut skin mark fo show dey one Jew kine guy, God make dem get um right wit him cuz dey trus him. An da peopo dass not Jew guys an no mo da mark on top dem, he make dem get um right wit him cuz dey trus him too.

31 You tink dat wen we trus God, dat mean we make da Rules From God good fo notting? No ways! We make da Rules come mo solid.

Abraham

1 So den, Abraham, da ancesta guy dat us Jew guys all come from, you know wat he wen figga bout wat make um come right wit God?

2 Dis wat us guys can tell: If Abraham wen get um right wit God cuz a da stuffs he wen do, den he can go talk big bout dat. But in front God, he no can talk big notting.

3 ✡Dis wat da Bible tell:

“Abraham wen trus God,

Dass why God wen tell dat Abraham get um right wit him.”

4 Wen get one guy dat work, his boss pay him fo dat. Da pay not one present—dass wat da boss owe um. 5 God da One dat get da right fo tell whoeva trus him, dey da one dat get um right wit him, no matta dey neva kea bout God befo time. No can work fo get um right wit God. Ony gotta trus God, an den God goin tell dat you stay right wit him.

6 Same ting fo David. He wen talk bout how peopo stay good inside wen God tell dat dey get um right wit him, an dey neva work notting fo dat. He tell:

7 ✡“Da peopo dat wen broke da Rules From God,

God let um go,

An hemo dea shame.

Az why dey stay good inside!

Da peopo dat wen do da bad kine stuffs,

God hemo dem from all da bad kine stuffs dey wen do.

8 Peopo can stay good inside

Wen Da One In Charge no make one lis

A da bad kine stuff dey wen do.”

9 You tink az ony da Jew guys dat get da cut skin mark da ones can stay good inside cuz dey get um right wit God, an da odda guys no can? You know awready, we tell dat Abraham wen trus God, an cuz a dat, God tell dat Abraham get um right wit him. 10 You know wen God tell all dat? You tink was afta Abraham get da cut skin mark, o befo he get da mark? Eh, was befo, not afta!

11 ✡Bumbye Abraham get da cut skin mark. Dat show proof dat he wen trus God. Was befo Abraham get da cut skin mark dat God tell dat Abraham get um right wit him. Dass how Abraham wen come jalike da faddah fo erybody dat trus God, an God wen tell dey get um right wit him, no matta dey no mo da cut skin mark. 12 Same ting fo da Jew guys dat get da cut skin mark too, Abraham stay jalike dea faddah. But not ony cuz dey get da cut skin mark, but cuz dey trus Christ jalike Abraham trus God befo he get da cut skin mark.

We Trus God, An We Get Wat He Promise

13 ✡God wen promise Abraham an his ohana dat come afta him, dat bumbye he goin own da whole world. God tell dat cuz Abraham wen trus God, an get um right wit him. But God neva tell dat Abraham get um right wit him ony cuz he do wat da Rules tell um fo do.

14 ✡You know, get peopo dat ony like stick wit da Rules From God. Dey tink dey goin get wat God wen promise ony cuz a dat. Fo dem, fo trus God no mean notting, an poho da promise God wen make. 15 Wen get da Rules From God, goin get peopo dat broke um, an God goin had it wit dem. Wen no mo da Rules From God, no mo nobody goin broke um.

16 ✡Dass why mo betta trus him. God like do plenny good tings fo da peopo dat trus him. Az why we know da promise God wen make stay solid fo all us guys dat come from Abraham. Dis not ony fo da peopo dat get da Rules From God, but da peopo dat same time trus God jalike Abraham. Cuz he jalike da faddah fo all us guys. 17 ✡God tell inside da Bible befo time, “I make you da faddah fo plenny diffren kine peopos.” Fo shua God goin make dat promise solid, an God, he da One dat Abraham wen trus. God da One dat make peopo come back alive afta dey mahke. An he da One dat can tell fo make someting dat neva was befo time.

18 ✡Abraham wen trus God an wen wait fo God do someting, even wen he neva see God do notting yet. Az how he come da faddah fo plenny diffren kine peopos, jalike da Bible befo time tell him, “Goin get plenny peopos come from you.” 19 ✡Da way Abraham trus God, he no lose fight, no matta he figga, his body litto mo ready fo mahke, cuz he almos hundred year ol, an Sarah, she no can come hapai awready. 20 Abraham neva tink dat God no can do um, an den no trus God. Da way he trus God stay solid cuz he know how awesome God stay. 21 Abraham wen know fo shua dat wateva God wen promise fo do, he strong enuff fo do um. 22 Az why God figga dat Abraham get um right wit him.

23 Wen da Bible befo time tell how God figga dat, God no tell dat ony fo Abraham. 24 He tell um fo us guys too. God figga us get um right wit him too, if we trus him. Cuz God da One dat make Jesus Da One In Charge a us guys. He da One make Jesus come back alive afta he mahke. 25 ✡Jesus wen mahke cuz us neva ack how us suppose to ack. An den, Jesus come back alive one mo time fo make us guys get um right wit God.

We Get Um Right Wit God

1 Cuz us guys trus God, az why God tell us guys we get um right wit him. Us pono wit him, cuz a wat Jesus wen do, Da One In Charge a us guys. 2 Christ make us guys come tight wit God cuz we trus Christ. God like us know he like do plenny fo us guys cuz dass how he stay. An dass how us guys come solid inside. Us guys feel good inside cuz we stay shua dat bumbye God goin make us come awesome jalike him.

3 No matta we get any kine hard time, us guys goin feel good inside. Az cuz we know dat da hard time goin make us hang in dea mo betta. 4 Wen us guys hang in dea, dat make us come mo solid. Wen us guys come mo solid, den we stay shua dat bumbye God goin get us outa trouble. 5 Wen us guys stay shua dat God goin do all dis fo us, we no need worry notting. Cuz us guys get da Good An Spesho Spirit God wen give us, dat make us feel inside how plenny love an aloha he get fo us guys.

6 Wen us guys neva have powa notting, az da time God wen pick fo Christ mahke fo all us guys dat wen ack jalike God no matta. 7 Eh you know, nobody goin mahke fo one guy dat ony do right kine stuff! If get one guy dat erytime get one good heart, maybe bumbye somebody go mahke fo help dat kine guy. 8 But God show how plenny love an aloha he get fo us, cuz same time we do bad kine stuff, Christ still yet wen mahke fo us.

9 God tell us guys get um right wit him cuz Christ wen bleed an mahke fo us. God had it wit da bad kine stuff peopo stay do, but cuz a Christ, us guys no goin suffa.

10 Befo time us guys stay agains God. But den God Boy wen mahke fo us come pono wit God. So now, cuz us guys stay pono wit God, we even mo shua Christ goin take us outa da bad kine stuff we do cuz he stay alive. 11 An get one mo ting! Cuz Da One In Charge, Jesus Christ, wen mahke fo us guys an make pono wit us guys, us can talk big bout God.

Adam An Christ,
Dey Da Same But Dey Diffren

12 ✡So den, from da time da world start, da firs man Adam, he da one wen start fo do bad kine stuff. Az why God neva let um live foeva. An from dat time, all da peopo inside da world live jalike dat man. Cuz dey live lidat, same ting happen jalike wit dat man, erybody gotta mahke. 13 Befo time, neva have da Rules from God fo show peopo all ova da world dey stay do bad kine stuff. An wen no mo da Rules, peopo still do bad kine stuff. 14 Erybody from Adam time till Moses time gotta mahke fo shua, no matta dey neva do da same ting dat God tell Adam fo no do. Still yet, dey wen go do odda kine bad stuff. Az why dey gotta mahke jalike Adam.

How was wit Adam, dass how stay fo erybody. Adam set um up fo erybody mahke, but same time he set um up fo Jesus show up bumbye. 15 Da bad kine stuff dat Adam wen do, dass way diffren den da good kine stuff Jesus wen do fo us guys. Had da one guy Adam dat wen do wat God tell um not fo do, an cuz a dat, erybody mahke. But den da odda guy, Jesus Christ, he do plenny good kine stuffs fo us, an he neva expeck notting back from nobody. Dass mo den enuff fo erybody cuz God erytime like do plenny fo us. 16 Da ting dat God give us guys, dass mo betta fo erybody den da bad ting dat da one guy Adam wen do. Afta Adam do dat, God da Judge tell, “Gotta punish um!” But even afta da peopo jam up choke plenny times, God da Judge give um one spesho present—he tell, “Now, can get um right wit me!” 17 So den, da one guy Adam, he do one ting dat he not suppose to do. Cuz a dat, now erybody gotta mahke. An now, da one guy Jesus Christ do one real good ting, an dass way mo betta fo us guys. Now, us guys get um right wit God. Dass jalike one present he give us. An he goin make us come alive, an come da King helpa guys fo real kine.

18 Az why, had dat one guy dat wen do wat he not suppose to do. Cuz a dat, now erybody gotta get punish. But den same ting, had anodda guy dat wen do da right ting. Cuz a dat, erybody can get um right wit God an come alive fo real kine. 19 Dis mean, Adam, he one guy dat neva lissen God. Dat make plenny peopo do da bad kine stuff dat God no like fo dem do. An da odda guy Jesus, he lissen wat God tell him fo do. Dat make plenny guys come peopo dat get um right wit God.

20 God give us his Rules so erybody know how real bad da bad kine stuff stay. But wen you get peopo do bad kine stuff mo an moa, God do mo an mo plenny good kine stuff. 21 Befo time, da bad kine stuff dat peopo do take ova dem an make um mahke. But now, cuz a wat Da One In Charge, Jesus Christ, wen do, God do someting real good fo us. He take ova us guys, fo us get um right wit him an fo come alive fo real kine foeva.

No Do Notting Wit Da Bad Kine Stuff,
But Live Fo God

1 So den, wat? You tink us can tell, “If us guys do mo plenny bad kine stuffs, you tink dat goin make God do mo plenny good kine stuffs fo us bumbye, o wat?” 2 Eh, no ways! Da bad kine stuff no mo powa ova us guys no moa! Az jalike we mahke awready. Cuz you know, one mahke guy no can do notting bad. If us stay jalike we mahke, how us goin do bad kine stuff? No ways!

3 You guys foget dat wen all us guys get baptize fo show we Jesus Christ guys, dass jalike we mahke same time he mahke? 4 ✡Wen we get baptize, dat mean jalike dey bury us same time dey bury Christ cuz jalike us mahke too. Da Faddah, he get awesome powa. An afta Christ mahke, da Faddah make um come back alive. Az how da Faddah like fo us use his powa fo us guys live one new kine life.

5 Us guys jalike we wen mahke wen Jesus mahke. Dass why fo shua we goin come back alive from mahke jalike Jesus come back alive.

6 Us know how was befo time, dat us not good kine guys. But dass pau awready, jalike us wen mahke on top da cross wen Christ mahke. Dat bad kine guy inside us no mo powa awready! Cuz a dat, us no need do bad kine stuff no moa. Us guys no stay hamajang no moa—we not slave guys no mo dat gotta do bad kine stuff. 7 Afta you mahke, no mo notting dat can make you do bad kine stuff no moa.

8 So den, jalike us guys mahke wit Christ. Dass why we trus God fo live wit him too. 9 We know dat Christ come back alive afta he mahke, an he no goin mahke one mo time. Cuz no mo notting dat get powa fo make him mahke one mo time. 10 Afta Christ wen mahke dat one time fo da peopo dat do bad kine stuff, he no need mahke one mo time. Now he ony live fo God.

11 Az why, same ting wit you guys, jalike wat wen happen wit Jesus Christ: You guys awready pau do da bad kine stuff jalike you mahke. An you guys can live fo God, cuz now you guys stay tight wit Jesus Christ.

12 No let da bad kine stuff take ova you, an make you do any kine stuff yoa body like fo you do. Dat body goin mahke, you know. 13 An no make notting inside you do stuff dat no stay right cuz dass bad. Mo betta you let God make you do wat he like you fo do. Cuz jalike you mahke awready an now you stay alive one mo time fo real kine. Use all yoa body fo do da kine stuff you suppose to do fo God. 14 Fo shua, no let da bad kine stuff take ova you guys! Jus cuz you keep da Rules, dat no make you get um right wit God. Da way you guys live, you do wat you do cuz God awready do real plenny good stuff fo you guys, az why.

Us Jalike Slaves Fo Do Wass Right

15 Cuz a all dis, you tink us still can do bad kine stuff, jus cuz we no need do wat da Rules tell fo get um right wit God? You tink God still goin do plenny good kine stuff fo us, o wat? No ways! 16 Fo shua, you guys gotta know dis: If one guy own you, you gotta lissen wateva da guy tell you, an do wat he tell you fo do. Dat mean, dat guy yoa boss an you his slave. You can pick wat you like fo do. You can come one slave guy fo do ony bad kine stuff. But wen you pick dat one, you goin be da one get cut off from God. O you can be jalike one slave guy fo do wateva God tell you fo do. An wen you pick dat one, you get um right wit him!

17 I tell God “Mahalo plenny!” Cuz befo time, you guys come slaves fo do da bad kine stuff. But now, you guys go fo broke. You lissen fo do all da stuff peopo wen teach you guys. 18 God let you guys go, az why you no need do bad kine stuff no moa. Now you guys can work hard fo do da right kine stuff.

19 I talk lidis cuz you guys undastan bout slaves. Cuz inside, you guys no stay strong. Befo time, jalike you guys da kine peopo dat force peopo fo do ony pilau kine stuff, jalike you slaves. An you force peopo fo broke da Rules from God, jalike you slaves. Az how you guys was. But now, you guys go fo broke fo come da kine peopo dat do ony wass right. Dat goin make you guys come good an spesho fo God.

20 Befo time, you guys was da kine peopo dat force peopo fo do ony bad kine stuff. Az wen you guys no was da kine peopo dat do da right ting. 21 Wat good kine ting you guys wen get from all dat? Notting! You guys ony get plenny shame weneva you guys tink bout dat. Cuz wen you do bad kine stuff, az you da one get cut off from God cuz a dat.

Afta You Mahke, Da Rules No Mo Powa

1 Eh, all my braddahs an sistahs, you know how da Rules work, aah? All da time you alive, da Rules get powa ova you. But afta you mahke, da Rules no mo powa ova you. 2 Da Rules tell, if get one wahine dat stay married to one guy, she gotta stay tight wit da guy da whole time he stay alive. But if da husban mahke, den she no need follow da Rules fo da husban an wife. 3 If she live wit anodda guy, an her husban alive still yet, dass mean she one wahine dat fool aroun behind her husban back. But den, if her husban mahke, den da Rules fo da husban an wife not fo her no moa. An if she marry anodda guy, dat no mean she fool aroun behind her mahke husban back.

4 Same ting wit you guys, my braddahs an sistahs! Christ wen mahke, his body, eryting. Same ting, jalike you guys wen mahke too wen Christ mahke. Az why now you free up from da powa dat da Jew kine Rules get ova you. Cuz now dey not fo you guys no moa. Jalike Christ mahke on top da cross, az how now you guys mahke an come Christ guys too. You guys stay tight wit him, da one dat wen come back alive afta he mahke. Dis jalike da wahine can marry anodda guy now an no mo problem. Az why now, you free up fo live da right way, jalike yoa life show fruit. Den odda peopo can see how fo trus God jalike you guys.

5 Befo time, da way us guys tink, we fo real kine like fo do bad kine stuff. We know da Jew kine Rules from befo time. Az why we fo real kine like go agains da Rules. An dat make us da kine peopo dat do wat we not suppose to do wit oua bodies. Cuz a dat, oua life jalike one no good fruit, an dass wat cut us off from God. 6 But now, we free up from da powa dat make us follow da Jew kine Rules cuz jalike we mahke to dat kine Rules awready. Da Rules dat peopo write inside da Bible befo time neva free us guys up. Az was da ol way. But da new way stay lidis. God Spirit stay in charge a us now! Az why us guys can work fo God now.

Da Bad Kine Stuff Dat Stay Inside Us Guys

7 ✡So den, wat you tink? Da Jew kine Rules no good, o wat? No ways! If I neva undastan da Rules, den no way I undastan da bad kine stuff dat stay inside me. If da Rules neva tell, “No take odda guys stuffs fo ony you,” den I neva know I not suppose to take odda guys stuffs fo ony me. 8 But dass wat da Rules tell. An I get bad kine stuff inside me. Az why I like get all kine stuff dass not my stuff. If neva have da Rules, den no mo notting fo make peopo like broke um. An if no mo Rules, da bad kine stuff no mo powa ova peopo.

9 Da way I live befo time, I neva know da Rules. Den bumbye, I find out dat God tell dat get tings I not suppose to do—an right den an dea, jalike all da bad kine stuff inside me wen wake up an make me like do dose tings real bad! 10 Den, az jalike I wen mahke inside. Had da Rules fo peopo come alive fo real kine. But fo me, jalike da Rules cut me off from get um right wit God. 11 ✡Da Rules tell how I gotta ack. But inside me jalike da Rules dat God tell jam up wat I figga cuz I like do bad kine stuff. Cuz a dat, jalike was da Rules dat wen cut me off fo no get um right wit God.

12 Same time, da Rules stay spesho fo God. Eryting da Rules tell we gotta do, all dat stay spesho fo God. An stay right an good too.

13 You tink was da Rules dat stay good cut me off fo no get um right wit God? No was da Rules! Was da bad kine stuff inside me dat show I wen broke da Rules. Dass wat cut me off from God! Da Rules stay real good, an dey show dat da bad kine stuff stay bad fo real kine. An dass how us guys get cut off an no get um right wit God. So wen God tell us guys how we gotta ack, dat show dat da bad kine stuff inside us guys az no good!

Da War Inside Us

14 We know dat da Rules come from da Good An Spesho Spirit. But me, I live jalike I one slave fo ony do bad kine stuff. 15 ✡I donno wat I stay do. Cuz I like do wass right, but I no can do um. I ony do wat I no like fo do! 16 If I do da tings I no like fo do, den I know fo shua da Rules stay good. 17 Cuz dass not me dat do um, but da bad kine stuff dat stay inside me stay do um.

18 I know fo shua dat no mo notting good stay inside me. Erytime I like do bad kine stuff. I like do good kine stuff too, but den, I donno how fo do um! 19 Da good kine stuff dat I like do, I no do um. But da bad kine stuff I no like do, I do um. 20 Wen I do wat I no like do, az not me dat make me do um. Az da bad kine stuff dat stay inside me dat make me like do um.

21 I figga dis: wen I like do wass good, right dea inside me I like do da bad kine stuff too. 22 I stay real good inside wen I tink bout da Rules from God. 23 But jalike get one diffren kine rule inside me dat erytime make me come hamajang. Dass jalike get one war inside my body! Da way I figga, I like do wat stay good, but I no can. Da bad kine stuff take ova inside my body, an make me one prisona fo do all kine bad kine stuff.

24 Sad! I stay all hamajang inside! I like fo somebody free me up fo no get cut off from God! 25 God, mahalo plenny! Cuz Jesus Christ, Da One In Charge, he free me up! So dis how stay: I one slave. No matta my head like do eryting da Rules From God tell I gotta do—but how I feel inside, az jalike get anodda rule dat tell I gotta do bad kine stuff.

You Can Live Fo Real Kine
If You Stay Tight Wit God Spirit

1 So den, God no goin punish da peopo dat stay tight wit Jesus Christ! 2 Cuz get two tings dat stay fo real: If you stay tight wit God Spirit, he goin make you guys come alive fo real kine. An he goin make you guys stay tight wit Jesus Christ. Dass da Numba One ting. If you guys stay tight wit da bad kine stuff, you guys goin get cut off from God foeva. But if you get God Spirit, da Spirit free you up fo no do da bad kine stuff. Dass Numba Two.

3 Maybe us guys try do wat da Rules from God tell us fo do. Sad! Us no stay strong enuff inside fo do dat cuz dass how us guys stay. Den God, he sen his Boy dat get one body jalike one regula guy dat can do bad kine stuff, but his Boy no do bad kine stuff notting! God sen um fo face da bad kine stuff peopo do. How Jesus ack, he neva do bad kine stuff. He show proof dat da tings da peopo stay do was bad fo shua. An he come one sacrifice fo hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff peopo stay do. 4 God sen Christ fo mahke fo us guys. Az why us guys can do all da right kine stuff da Rules From God tell we gotta do. Now, we no live da way we live befo time wen we do wat we like do. We live da way God Spirit like fo us live.

5 Da peopo dat ack da way dea body like dem fo ack, dey ack lidat cuz dass how dey stay inside. Dey ony tink bout how dey like live all da time. But da peopo dat ack da way God Spirit like dem fo ack, dey ony tink bout how fo ack da way God Spirit like dem fo ack. 6 Da guy dat ony tink fo do da bad kine stuff his body like him fo do, az jalike he mahke inside awready. But da guy dat tink fo do wat God Spirit like him fo do, he stay alive fo real kine, an notting bodda him.

7 An if you tink fo do bad kine stuff an ack da way yoa body like you fo ack, cuz dass how you stay inside, you go agains God erytime. Dat mean, you no do wat da Rules From God tell—cuz you no mo da powa fo do um. 8 Da peopo dat do bad kine stuff dea body like dem fo do, no way God take wat dey do.

9 But fo you guys, da way you wen live befo time, wen you live fo ony you, make shua da ol way no control you guys no moa. Cuz God Spirit live inside you, you guys get da powa fo do da kine stuff God Spirit like you fo do. If somebody no mo Christ Spirit inside him, dat guy not one Christ Guy. 10 But you guys, Christ stay tight wit you. Yoa body goin mahke cuz you wen do bad kine stuff. But inside, you guys stay alive fo real kine cuz you get um right wit God. 11 ✡God da One wen make Jesus come back alive afta he mahke. If God Spirit stay tight wit you guys, den he goin make yoa mahke bodies come back alive, jalike how he wen make Christ come back alive. His Spirit goin do dat fo you guys, no matta yoa body goin mahke.

God Spirit Tell Us Guys Us God Kids

12 So den, my braddahs an sistahs, get someting us guys gotta do. Us no need do wat oua body tell us fo do. 13 If you guys do wat da bad kine stuff inside you tell you fo do, fo shua kine you goin be da one get cut off from God! But if you let God Spirit give you da powa fo kill off all da bad kine stuff you do, den you goin live fo real kine.

14 Da ones dat let God Spirit tell um wat fo do, dey God kids. 15 ✡✡Wen you guys get God Spirit in charge a you, God Spirit no goin make you guys live jalike slaves dat gotta stay sked all da time. Az how was befo time. Wen you get God Spirit in charge a you, you know you stay God kids! Az why he goin lissen wen we yell out, “Daddy!”

16 Inside we know us God kids. An God Spirit tell us guys da same ting too, 17 Cuz us guys God kids, dat mean, we goin get all oua share a da good kine stuff God give his kids cuz he oua Faddah. Da Faddah give eryting he get to his Boy Christ. Dass wat da Faddah goin do fo us guys too. But you know wat? Dat mean us guys gotta suffa too jalike Christ wen suffa, so den bumbye, God make us come awesome jalike he wen make Christ come awesome.

Bumbye God Goin Make Us
Come Awesome

18 You know, I figga how we stay suffa right now, az notting! Cuz da awesome stuff God goin show us bumbye, goin be unreals! 19 All da tings God wen make, jalike dey no can wait fo someting good fo happen. Dey no can wait fo see God show erybody how proud he stay bout his kids. 20 ✡All da tings God wen make goin come hamajang an stay lidat. Not suppose to be lidat, but God let um be lidat cuz bumbye he goin make all dat stuff come good one mo time. 21 All da tings God wen make goin come poho. But bumbye, God goin free up all dose tings fo come awesome, fo come jalike how suppose to be. Eryting God make goin come awesome. Az goin be da same ting he do fo make all his kids come free up fo come awesome too.

22 Us guys know, from befo time till now, dat all da tings God wen make stay moan jalike get big pain, jalike wen one wahine suffa plenny wen she born one bebe. 23 ✡Eh, az how goin be fo us guys too. Us guys get da Spirit in charge a us dat God wen give to us now. But we still yet moan inside too. Us lidat cuz we no can wait fo da time wen God goin make us his kids wit full rights, an hemo oua bodies from all da pilau kine stuff.

24 Wen God take us outa da bad kine stuff, he wen make us know fo shua wat he goin do bumbye. But still yet, we gotta wait. If us guys get wat we wait fo awready, den no need fo wait fo dat fo happen. Nobody goin wait fo someting dat wen happen awready. 25 But wen we wait fo someting we neva see happen yet, den we goin hang in dea real good an wait fo see dat happen.

26 Anodda ting, God Spirit help us plenny, cuz us no mo powa. We donno how fo pray da right way. But God Spirit, he take ova an aks God fo do tings fo us. Cuz us guys get big pain inside us cuz we no shua how fo pray. 27 An God, he know fo real kine all da tings us guys get inside, an he know how his Spirit tink too. His Spirit help us cuz God Spirit tink jalike God tink. Da Spirit talk to God fo us guys. He aks God fo help da peopo dat stay spesho fo him do wat God like um fo do.

28 Us guys know dis too: God make eryting come out all good fo da peopo dat get love an aloha fo him. God da one wen pick dem fo do wat he like dem fo do. An God get dis plan from befo time wen he tell um, “Go come! Be my guys!” 29 Befo time, he pick dose peopo awready, cuz he like make um come jalike one copy a his Boy. God Boy, dass Christ. He da main one, an da odda guys, dey jalike his younga braddahs an sistahs. 30 Da peopo God wen pick befo time, he tell um fo come be his guys. An dose same guys, God make um get um right wit him, an he make um come awesome jalike him.

God Get Love An Aloha Fo Us Guys

31 So den, wat you tink bout all dis? God stay fo us guys to da max. Cuz God stay lidat, who goin go agains us? No mo nobody! 32 God neva even hold back his Boy. He wen make um come one sacrifice fo help all us guys. God wen give his Boy fo mahke fo us. Dat mean God no hold back notting. He give us ery good ting to da max!

33 An den, who goin poin finga da peopo God wen pick? No mo nobody goin do dat! Cuz God, he da One dat tell dat his peopo get um right wit him awready. 34 Eh! No mo nobody dat can tell God gotta punish his peopo. Cuz Jesus Christ, he da One wen mahke. An mo spesho den dat, he da One dat God make um come back alive afta he mahke. From dat time, he stay in da mos importan place, by God right side. Same time, Jesus da One dat stay tell God fo help us guys!

35 You tink get somebody can cut us guys off from da love an aloha Christ get fo us guys? No ways! You tink presha, hard time, o wen get somebody dat like hurt us, o wen no mo notting fo eat, o no mo clotheses, o wen we sked, o wen we get peopo dat like kill us, dat can cut us guys off? Not even! 36 ✡Jalike da Bible tell befo time,

“Cuz us guys, yoa peopo, all da time odda guys stay kill us.

Dey make to us jalike we sheeps dey kill fo sell da meat.”

37 Cuz Christ get love an aloha fo us guys to da max, no matta wat kine trouble get, dat no bodda us, cuz we da winnas fo shua!

38 I stay shua bout dis: No mo notting can make God no love us guys. No matta us stay alive o us mahke, no matta if get angel guys o leada guys in da sky, o if get spirits wit powa dat go agains us, no matta wateva stay happen now o goin happen bumbye, 39 no matta get guys wit powa up dea inside da sky, o down dea inside da groun, no matta if get all kine odda tings dat God wen make. No mo notting dat can cut us guys off from da way God love us guys! Cuz us guys stay tight wit Jesus Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, an he Da One In Charge a us guys.

God Pick Da Israel Peopo

(Start 18:10, 14; 21:12; 25:23; Malakai 1:2-3; Rules Secon Time 32:4; Outa Egypt 33:19; 9:16)

1 Eh, I no bulai you guys, I ony tell da trut cuz I stay tight wit Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. My inside tell me da same ting, an fo shua God Spirit stay in charge a my inside. 2 I tell you guys dis: Inside I stay plenny sore an I stay hurt all da time. I stay lidat inside cuz a how my peopo stay. 3 I like my peopo, da Jews, come tight wit Christ too. Mo betta God punish me, not dem, an cut me loose from Christ, fo my peopo come tight wit Christ. 4 ✡Dey da Israel peopo an God wen make dem his kids from befo time. He show dem how awesome he stay. He make all kine deals wit dem. He give um his Rules. Dey da ones dat know how fo show God respeck. An God promise fo do plenny good kine stuffs fo dem. 5 Da Jew guys wen come from oua main ancesta guys Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob (dass da guy God call Israel, you know). An Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, he wen born from da same ancesta guys too. He da One az God, an he da One dat stay in charge a eryting, da One erybody can talk good bout foeva! Dass him!

6 I no tell dat God neva do wat he promise fo do. Not all da peopo dat wen born from oua ancesta guy Israel, da fo real kine Israel peopo, you know. 7 ✡An, get plenny peopo dat born from oua ancesta guy Abraham, but not all dem Abraham kids fo real kine too. Dis cuz God wen tell Abraham, “Da ony peopo dat I goin call yoa kids fo real kine goin be da ones dat goin born from yoa boy Isaac.”

8 Dat mean, from befo time, from all da kids dat born from oua ancesta guy Abraham till now, dey not all God kids. Ony da kids dat wen born from da promise God wen make to Abraham, dey da ones dat God call his kids fo real kine. 9 ✡Dis da promise God wen make: “Same time nex year I goin come back, an Sarah goin born her bebe boy.”

10 An one mo ting. Oua ancesta guy Isaac an his wife Rebecca, dey born twin boys an dey Isaac kids. 11-12 ✡But you know, befo Rebecca born her twin boys, an no matta her twin boys neva do notting good o bad yet, God tell Rebecca, “Da boy dat goin born firs, he da one dat goin work fo da boy dat born afta.” He tell her dis fo show dat wen God pick somebody, he pick um cuz he know wat he goin do wit dat guy. God wen tell um fo be his guy. He no need wait fo find out how dat guy goin ack cuz God know awready how he goin ack. 13 ✡Jalike God tell inside da Bible, “I wen pick Jacob, but I neva pick Esau, da one born firs.”

14 So wat den? You tink God not fair? No ways! 15 ✡Dis cuz God wen tell Moses dis:

“I goin give chance to da ones I give chance to,

An I goin show pity fo da ones I get pity fo.”

16 Az why, no matta wat one guy do, o wat he like fo happen, ony one ting matta—God da One give um chance. 17 ✡Da Bible tell dis. God tell da Egypt King Pharaoh, “I wen make you King cuz I like use you fo show how strong I stay, an fo make peopo all ova da world tell wat kine God me!”

18 So den, if God like give one guy chance, dass wat he goin do. An if he like make one guy hard head, az wat he goin do too.

God, He Give Chance,
But He No Take Any Kine Too

(Start 19; Outa Egypt 9:16; 33:19; Isaiah 1:9; 10:22-23; 29:16; 45:9; Jeremiah 18:6; Hosea 1:10; 2:23)

19 So den, somebody goin aks me dis: “Eh! If dass how stay, how come God still yet poin finga peopo? Cuz no mo nobody can go agains wat God like fo happen, you know.” 20 ✡Eh, how come you talk back lidat to God, braddah? Who you tink you? Jalike da Bible tell befo time: “If get one guy dat make someting, dat ting no can tell da guy, ‘Eh! How come you wen make me lidis?’ ” 21 Da guy dat make pots, he get da right fo use da clay fo make spesho kine pots. O if he like, he use da same clay fo make pots fo put junk kine stuff inside.

22 Same ting wit God. He like show erybody dat he had it wit da stuff da peopo like do. He like make shua erybody know he get plenny powa. Fo show dat, fo one long time he take any kine stuff da peopo do—da kine stuff he no like take. But dose peopo dat make lidat, fo shua dey goin get wipe out bumbye. 23 He wen do dat cuz he like show dat he goin give chance to some peopo. Dey da ones dat he make one plan from befo time fo dem come awesome. He like make shua erybody know dat he stay awesome to da max. 24 An you know wat? Us guys da peopo he wen tell dis: “Eh! Go come be my guys!” Some a us guys come from da Jew peopo, an he tell us “Be my guys!” Odda guys, dey come from odda kine peopos. 25 ✡Jalike God tell befo time from Hosea, one book inside da Bible,

“Get peopo dat not my peopo,

But still yet I goin call um ‘my peopo.’

Goin get one nation dat I neva have love an aloha fo,

But den, I goin call um ‘da nation I get love an aloha fo.’ ”

26 ✡Hosea tell dis too:

“Right dea,

Da same place wea God tell um befo time,

‘You guys not my peopo no moa!’

Dass da same place wea da God dat stay alive goin tell um bumbye,

‘You guys, my kids now!’ ”

Cuz he give um chance, az why.

27 ✡Befo time, Isaiah talk fo God inside da Bible. He tell,

“Get choke plenny peopo dat get Israel fo dea ancesta guy.

Da ohana big, jalike da sand on top da beach,

No matta God goin take ony litto bit peopo

Outa da bad kine stuff dey do.

28 Cuz Da One In Charge goin do eryting he tell he goin do,

All ova da world.

He no goin wase time notting!”

29 ✡Befo time, Isaiah tell dis too:

“Good ting, God, Da One In Charge Ova All Da Armies,

Wen let some a oua kids stay alive.

If he neva do dat, oua blood line pau awready,

Jalike da peopo from Sodom town an Gomorrah town.”

Da Israel Peopo
An Da Good Kine Stuff From God

(Isaiah 8:14; 28:16)

30 So wat den? Wat dis mean? Get all kine peopos from diffren place dass not Jew guys. Dey neva try fo get um right wit God befo time. Now, dey get um right wit him cuz dey trus um. 31 But da Israel peopo try fo ony do wat da Rules From God tell um fo do, fo get um right wit God, but dey no can do um.

32-33 ✡How come stay lidis? Dey neva get um right wit God cuz dey ony try get um right wit God by da stuff dey do. Dey neva trus God. Da Bible talk bout one “rock dat make peopo trip ova an fall down.” Dis wat Isaiah tell inside da Bible:

“Eh! Right hea inside Zion Town,

I goin put one Guy.

He goin be jalike one rock

Dat goin make peopo trip ova an fall down.

But whoeva trus dat Guy,

Dey no need come shame.”

An az da Israel peopo wen trip ova dat rock an fall down!

10

1 My braddahs an sistahs, you know fo real kine wat I like fo happen fo da Israel peopo? I pray real hard fo God take dem outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do.

2 I can tell you dis bout dese peopo: Dey like go all out fo God, but dey donno da mos importan stuff fo know him fo real kine. 3 Dey donno wat God wen do awready fo make us guys get um right wit him. Cuz a dat, dey try fo get um right wit God how dey like, an dass why dey no like lissen wen he tell um how fo get um right wit him.

4 Christ wen do eryting fo make us come right wit God. Dass wat da Rules wen try fo do, but dat neva get da powa fo do um. So whoeva trus Christ, dey da ones goin get um right wit God.

God Like Take Erybody
Outa Da Bad Kine Stuff Dey Stay Do

(Prieses 18:5; Rules Secon Time 30:11-14; Isaiah 28:16)

5 ✡Moses wen write dis befo time inside da Bible: Fo get um right wit God, da peopo gotta do eryting wat da Rules tell um fo do. Dis wat Moses tell: “Whoeva do eryting da Rules tell um fo do, dey goin get life cuz dey do dat.”

6 ✡Da Bible tell someting diffren den dat too, bout how fo get um right wit God cuz you trus him. Da Bible tell: “No good you go figga inside yoa head, ‘Eh, who go up dea inside da sky?’ ” Eh, dass jalike da guy go up dea fo tell da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen dat we like him fo come back down hea by us guys. 7 Same ting, da Bible tell: “No good you figga inside yoa head, ‘Who go way down inside da groun by da Deep Dark Hole wea da mahke peopo stay?’ ” Eh dass jalike da guy go down dea fo bring Christ back afta he mahke.

8 But da Bible tell dis too: “Da ting God tell, real easy fo undastan cuz jalike stay inside yoa mout an inside you.” Dass da same ting us guys stay teach: Eh, gotta trus Christ! 9 Dat mean, if you tell in front erybody, “Jesus, he Da One In Charge a me,” an you trus inside dat God wen bring Christ back alive afta he mahke, den God goin take you outa da bad kine stuff you stay do. 10 Dass cuz inside you trus God, an den he make you get um right wit him. An dass cuz you tell in front erybody dat Jesus stay Da One In Charge a you, an den God goin take you outa da bad kine stuff you do. 11 ✡Jalike da Bible tell, “Whoeva trus God, no way dey come shame, cuz God goin do eryting wat he tell.” 12 Da Jew guys an all da odda peopos, dey all same same. No mo diffrence. Cuz get Da One Dat Stay In Charge, an he Da One In Charge fo erybody. He goin do plenny fo erybody dat aks him fo kokua dem. 13 ✡Cuz da Bible tell, “Erybody dat aks Da One In Charge fo help um, he goin take um outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do.”

14 But you know wat?! How dey goin aks him fo help um if dey no trus him? An how dey goin trus him if dey neva hear notting bout him? An how dey goin hear bout him if nobody eva tell um bout him? 15 ✡An how dey goin tell peopo if nobody sen um out fo tell peopo? Jalike da Bible tell, “Wen peopo go out fo tell da Good Stuff From God, eh! dass awesome!”

16 ✡But you know, get some Israel peopo dat neva like lissen da Good Kine Stuff From God. Jalike Isaiah tell inside da Bible:

“Eh Boss! No mo nobody dat trus

Da tings dat dey wen hear from us guys!”

17 So den: Fo trus God, gotta lissen da tings he tell. An fo lissen wat God tell, firs gotta hear bout Christ.

18 ✡Wat you tink? You guys tink da Israel peopo neva hear notting, o wat? Fo shua dey wen hear someting! Jalike da Bible tell befo time:

“All ova da world, get peopo dat wen hear da Good Kine Stuff.

Da tings dey tell, go all ova da world fo peopo hear.”

19 ✡An dis anodda ting: “You tink da Israel peopo neva undastan notting?” Moses da firs one tell inside da Bible dat God tell dis:

“I goin do someting fo some odda peopos

Dass not jalike you guys.

An dat goin make you guys jealous.

An I goin do someting fo peopo dat you guys tink stupid,

An dat goin make you guys come huhu.”

20 ✡Isaiah come out strong fo tell,

“Da peopo dat no look fo me,

Dey da ones dat find me.

I even show up fo da peopo see me

Dat neva aks fo see me.”

21 ✡But fo da Israel peopo, he tell bout dem:

“All day I stay wave my hands,

Fo da Israel peopo come by me,

But dey no like lissen.

Dey ony like do wat dey like do.”

God Give Chance To Da Israel Peopo

1 ✡So den, I like aks dis: You tink God no like his peopo no moa, o wat? No ways! Me, I come from dat same Israel peopo! I get da same blood jalike Abraham, an I get da same blood jalike Benjamin, cuz Abraham, he Benjamin great granfaddah. 2 God neva tell he no like his peopo no moa. Dey da ones he pick from befo time. You foget wat da Bible tell bout Elijah? He wen tell God, “How come you no do notting agains da Israel peopo?!” 3 ✡Elijah tell:

“Eh, You Da One In Charge!

Da guys you wen sen fo talk fo you,

Dese da ones da Israel peopo wen kill!

Da altar wea dey make sacrifice fo you,

Dey bus um up.

Me da ony guy dat talk fo you

Dat stay alive still yet.

But den, dey still try fo kill me too!”

4 ✡An you know wat God tell Elijah? He tell um dis: “I still get 7,000 guys dat stay my guys. Dey no go down in front da idol kine god Baal!”

5 Nowdays, same ting—get some peopo dat God pick jus cuz he like do someting good fo um an give um chance. 6 Fo shua, he like give um chance an dass why he pick um. No was cuz dey wen do someting good, an dass why he gotta pick um, you know. If he gotta pick um cuz a da good tings dey wen do, den dat no show he give um chance fo real kine. Az why he gotta pick um. 7 So wat, den? Da Israel peopo wen like get um right wit God, but dey no can. Ony da peopo God wen pick get um right wit him. Da oddas, dey ony come mo hard head still yet an dey no lissen God. 8 ✡Dis wat da Bible tell befo time:

“God wen make um come

Jalike dey no can tink o feel notting.

Dea eyes no can see notting,

Dea ears no can hear notting,

Till now.”

9 ✡David tell dis inside da Bible:

“No matta dey throw party at dea table—

I like God make dat party come one trap

Fo catch um an pay um back!

10 I like God make um so dey no can see notting!

I like fo God push um down an make um suffa!”

God Goin Make Da Peopo Dass Not Jews
Come Pono Wit Him

11 So den, I like aks dis: How come da Jew guys wen fall down? Was fo wipe um out, o wat? No ways! But afta dey wen do wat dey not suppose to do, an no trus God, dis wat happen. All da odda peopo dass not Jew guys can get outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in. An dat make da Israel peopo come jealous. 12 Fo shua, da Israel peopo wen do wat dey not suppose to do. An cuz a dat, dat mean, da odda peopo all ova da world can get all kine good tings from God. Da Israel peopo, dey lose eryting, an cuz a dat, all da peopo dass not Jew guys come jalike dey rich! Kay den—bumbye, all da Jew guys goin come pono wit God, an eryting goin come mo betta!

13 Fo you guys dass not Jew guys, I like tell you one mo ting: God sen me all ova da place by da odda peopos dass not Jew guys fo talk fo him. Dis job God give me stay real importan! 14 I one Jew, an I like make my Jew peopo come jealous fo get wat you guys dass not Jews get from God. Az how I like help some a dem come outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in. 15 Wen God tell “Laytas” to wat his peopo do befo time, dat mean dat da odda peopos all ova da world get chance fo come pono wit God. Bumbye, God goin take back his peopo. Goin be jalike dey was mahke befo, but now dey come back alive fo real kine!

16 Eh, you know, if you take one small piece bread, an give um firs to God, den da whole bread stay spesho fo him. An if you give da root from one tree to God, da whole tree stay spesho fo him too.

17 Az jalike da Jew guys one olive tree, an God hemo some branches from dat tree, an den he graf in odda kine branches. You guys dass not Jew guys, you jalike odda kine olive trees dat grow wild outside one olive tree farm, but God graf you in on top one good tree inside da farm. Jalike da odda branches, you get da same kine good tings from God, jalike da Jew guys. 18 You betta not get big head an tink dat you mo betta den da odda branches dat God wen hemo! If you get big head, no foget dis—you not da one dat make da tree strong, cuz you ony one branch. Da root, da one make you strong, you know!

19 O you tell, “Eh, God wen hemo one Jew branch fo graf me in da same place wea dat branch was befo time.” 20 Dass wat wen happen, but God hemo dose branches cuz dey no trus him, az why. An you, you graf in cuz you trus God. Eh, no get big head! Mo betta you come sked! 21 Da Jew guys, dey jalike da branches dat grow dea firs—but God neva let um stay lidat. An you? You tink he goin let you stay graf in if you no trus him? No ways!

22 Try tink bout dis: God get one good heart—but same time, he punish peopo real good. He goin punish real good da guys dat no lissen him. But fo da guys dass not Jew guys, God get one good heart fo you guys if you stay tight wit God an trus him fo be good to you. But if you no trus him fo get one good heart fo you, he goin hemo you from da tree too. 23 Same ting wit da Jew guys, if dey change an start fo trus God, God goin graf dem in on top da main olive tree one mo time. God can graf um back in jalike befo time. 24 You know, you peopo dass not Jew, you jalike one branch dat wen get hemo from one olive tree dat grow wild outside da farm. God wen graf you in da good olive tree, no matta dass not da tree wea you wen grow up firs time. Mo betta still yet fo da Jew guys, God goin graf um back in da same tree wea dey wen grow up da firs time.

Da Israel Peopo
Goin Get Um Right Wit God

(Isaiah 27:9; 59:20-21)

25 Braddahs, dis someting you guys gotta know dat was secret befo time. If you undastan um, den you no goin get big head cuz you tink you smart. Dis da secret: Da Israel peopo wen come hard head an neva like trus God, but dey no goin be lidat foeva. Bumbye wen all da peopo dass not Jew guys trus God, den da Jew guys goin trus um too. 26 ✡Dass how God goin take all da Israel peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in, jalike God tell inside da Bible befo time:

“Goin get one guy dat goin take us outa da bad kine stuff,

He goin come from Jerusalem, Zion side.

He goin make da peopo dat come from Jacob tink diffren kine,

Dem guys, dey ack jalike God no matta,

Bumbye, dey no goin tink lidat no moa.

27 ✡An I goin hemo dea shame fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do.

I goin make one spesho deal wit dem”

28 So, fo da Jew guys dat tell “Laytas” to da Good Kine Stuff From God, dey stay agains God. Cuz dey make lidat, dat give you guys chance! God still get love an aloha fo dem, cuz he wen love dea ancesta guys an pick dem fo come his peopo. 29 You know, wen God give you someting, he no take um back. Wen he tell you, “Eh! Go come be my guy!”—he no goin change his mind.

30 Befo time, you guys dass not Jew guys neva like do wat God tell you fo do. But how stay now, you guys get chance, cuz az da Jew guys now dat no like do wat God tell um fo do. 31 Cuz a dat, God give you guys chance. An goin be same ting fo da Jew guys. God goin give dem chance too. 32 Dis how stay now, God wen make erybody no do wat he tell um fo do, jalike dey jam up. He do dat cuz he like give chance to erybody, same same.

God, He Real Good!

(Isaiah 40:13; Job 41:11)

33 ✡Ho, God! He unreals smart!

God, he know how fo use all his smarts!

An he know eryting!

No mo nobody undastan how he make up his mind!

No mo nobody can figga out how come God do wat he do!

No mo nobody can tell um wat fo do!

35 ✡An no tink dat somebody can give God someting

Dat God neva give him firs!

Az why God no need pay him back fo dat.”

36 ✡Eh, eryting come from God!

Erytime us like tell,

An he stay da greates foeva!

If God give you da powa fo pity somebody cuz dey need kokua, kokua dem an make shua you stay good inside same time.

Da Way Christ Guys Live

9 Wen you show peopo love an aloha, do um fo real kine, no ack. Hate all da bad kine stuff, an stay tight wit da good kine stuff. 10 Give my braddahs an sistahs plenny love an aloha.

Make shua you go all out wen you work fo Da One In Charge. 12 Stay good inside to da max, cuz you know wat God goin do fo you bumbye. Hang in dea wen you get any kine hard time. An make shua you pray all da time. 13 Use wat you get fo kokua da peopo dat stay spesho fo God wen dey need kokua. Wen peopo from anodda place come by you, make shua you take kea dem wit aloha.

14 ✡Go aks God fo make good tings happen to da guys dat make you suffa, good tings fo real kine! No go aks God fo make bad tings happen to dem. 15 Wen odda peopo feel real good inside, you feel good inside wit um—an wen dey cry, you cry wit um.

Lissen Da Govmen Guys In Charge

1 Erybody gotta lissen da govmen guys in charge. Dey get da powa fo tell peopo wat fo do, you know. But da powa dey get, God wen give um dat. Da guys dat get powa right now, dey da ones dat stay in charge cuz God wen put um in charge. 2 Cuz if somebody go agains da govmen guys dat get dat kine powa, az jalike dey going agains da way God wen make da govmen fo us. If anybody make lidat, dey goin get it from God da Judge.

3 If you ack pono, no need come sked a da govmen guys in charge. But den, if you do da bad kine stuff dass no good, mo betta you stay sked! So, if you no like stay sked a da peopo dat get powa, make shua you do ony good kine stuff.

But no make argue bout wat da guy tink. 2 Get some peopo, dey trus God, an dey stay shua dat dey can eat any kine, meat o watevas. Get odda peopo dat no stay strong fo trus God, an dey no eat meat, ony vegable kine stuff. 3 Eh! da guy dat eat any kine stuffs jalike meat o watevas, no good he ack jalike he mo betta den da guy dat no eat meat. Same ting, dat guy dat no eat meat, no good he tell da guy dat eat meat, “Eh, az wrong fo you do dat, you know.” Cuz God bring um inside his ohana awready!

4 Eh, wat make you tink you get da right fo tell dat da odda worka guy stay wrong? He no work fo you! Somebody else stay in charge a him. His boss da ony one dat can tell um fo real kine if he stay okay o if he stay jam up. But you know wat? Dat guy goin come pono, cuz Da One In Charge a him stay real strong fo make dat guy come pono, az why.

5 Same ting, get some guys, dey tink dat one day mo spesho den da oddas. Get odda peopo, dey tink ery day same ting, an no mo diffrence. Erybody gotta make shua how come dey tink how dey tink. 6 Da guy dat tink dat get some days dat stay mo spesho den oddas, he make um spesho fo show respeck fo Da One In Charge. Da guy dat eat meat an all kine stuffs, he eat um fo show respeck fo Da One In Charge. An dey do all dat fo show dat wen dey eat dat kine food dey tell God, “Mahalo plenny!” Same ting, da guy dat no eat meat, he do um fo show respeck fo Da One In Charge too, an he tell God, “Mahalo plenny!”

7 Eh, you know, wit us guys, wen we stay alive, we no live fo ony us. Wen we mahke, same ting, we no mahke fo ony us too. 8 Wen we live, we stay tight wit Da One In Charge. Same ting, wen we mahke, we stay tight wit Da One In Charge too. So no matta we stay alive o mahke, he erytime stay Da One In Charge a us guys. 9 Dass how come Christ wen mahke, an den come back alive one mo time. He do dat fo show he Da One In Charge fo da peopo dat mahke awready, an same ting fo da peopo dat stay alive too.

10 ✡So, how come you ack jalike one judge an tell yoa braddah o sistah dey stay wrong? How come you make to dem jalike dey stay no good? Eh, bumbye all us guys gotta go in front God da Judge, fo him judge us, you know. 11 ✡Da Bible tell befo time,

‘Fo shua I stay alive.

An fo shua,

Erybody goin go down on top dea knees in front me

Fo show dey get respeck fo me.

Dey goin tell wit dea mout

Dat dey know dat me

Cuz I stay God.’ ”

12 So den, all us guys gotta tell God how come we wen do da tings dat we wen do.

No Do Notting Dat Make
Yoa Braddahs An Sistahs Jam Up

13 So pau awready poin finga da odda peopo. Mo betta tink lidis: no good we do tings dat goin make oua braddahs an sistahs come jam up. No good we try fo trip um up an make um fall down an do bad kine stuff.

14 I know dis fo shua, cuz I stay tight wit Da One In Charge, az Jesus: No mo notting dat somebody eat dat make peopo so dey no can pray. But if one guy tink someting he eat make um so he no can pray, den dat food come kapu fo him. 15 So if you eat meat, an cuz a dat, you make yoa braddah o sistah hurt plenny inside, eh, you tink you get love an aloha fo dem, o wat? Eh! No jam up da odda guy jus fo eat wat you like eat. Cuz you know, Christ wen mahke fo dat guy too! 16 No good if you do someting dat you tink stay okay, but same time peopo talk bad bout wat you stay do.

17 Eh lissen! God stay da King, but you no stay da king guy jus cuz you like eat o drink wateva you like. You stay da king guy, so you do da right ting, an notting bodda you, an you stay good inside. Cuz dass wat happen wen you stay tight wit da Good An Spesho Spirit. 18 Anybody dat live da way I jus wen tell you fo live, dey da ones dat get Christ fo dea boss, an dey goin make God stay good inside. Odda peopo goin get respeck fo dem too.

19 So den, us gotta try hard fo make shua we do da kine stuff dat make erybody stay good wit each odda, an we gotta help each odda fo come mo strong inside. 20 Eh, no go bus up da kine stuff God stay do fo oua braddahs an sistahs, jus cuz you like eat any kine food. Fo shua, God tell eryting stay okay fo eat, but den, if you go eat da kine food dat make hard fo somebody, az bad, you know, wen you do dat.

21 Mo betta no eat meat, o no drink wine, o do odda kine stuffs dat goin trip up yoa braddahs an sistahs an make um fall down. 22 So wateva you tink bout da stuffs I jus wen talk bout, az fo you an God figga out wass good. You stay good inside, an no feel bad cuz you no tink you stay do someting wrong. 23 But if you no stay shua bout wat you can eat, but den still yet you go eat um, God goin tell you wen do someting wrong. Cuz you neva trus God wen you do um, az why. Wen you do someting an you no trus God, az wrong.

Da Numba One Letta From Paul

Fo Da Corint Peopo

1

“Aloha!”

1 Aloha! Dis letta from Paul. God tell me fo be his guy, cuz he like sen me all ova da place fo tell peopo bout Jesus Christ, da Spesho Guy he wen sen. An Braddah Sostenes, he stay help me write dis. 2 ✡Dis letta fo you church peopo dat come togedda fo God inside Corint town. God make you guys spesho fo him cuz you stay tight wit Jesus Christ. He tell you guys fo come his spesho peopo! Dass jalike all da odda peopo all ova da world dat call out to Da One In Charge wen dey need help. Jesus Christ, he da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, an he Da One In Charge a dose guys an us guys too. 3 God, he oua Faddah, an Jesus Christ, he Da One In Charge a us guys. I like dem do plenny good kine stuffs fo you guys, an make um so notting bodda you.

Mahalo Plenny!

4 Erytime I tink bout you guys, I tell God “Mahalo plenny fo dose Corint peopo!” God get one good heart, no matta befo time you guys wen do bad kine stuff. He do plenny good stuff wit aloha fo you guys, cuz you guys stay tight wit his Spesho Guy Jesus Christ. 5 An he make you guys so you can handle all da good tings he do fo you, cuz you stay tight wit Christ. Az why you guys know da importan kine stuff you guys need fo know, an da bestes way fo tell um. 6 All da good kine stuff us guys tell you guys bout Christ, stay solid awready wit you guys. Az why you guys know fo shua dat Christ, he fo real. 7 Az why you guys awready get all da good kine tings God give his peopo. Bumbye God goin let erybody see Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ. An you guys no can wait fo see um! 8 Christ da One dat goin make you guys stay strong an solid till you mahke, o till da time wen Da One In Charge, az Jesus Christ, come back to dis world. Az why you guys no goin jam up, an nobody goin poin finga you guys. 9 God, he da One dat tell you guys fo come tight wit his Boy Jesus Christ, Da One In Charge a us guys. You guys can trus God erytime fo do wat he tell he goin do.

Get Church Peopo Dat Like Split Up

10 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! I stay talk fo Da One In Charge a us guys, az Jesus Christ, wen I beg you guys fo tink da same way, an no split up. Gotta stick togedda! Az how you guys goin know how fo tink da same way, an figga out tings da same way!

11 Some peopo from Sistah Cloe house tell me dat some a you guys stay argue wit each odda. 12 ✡Dis how I figga. Soun jalike you guys talk lidis: One guy tell dis, “Me, I stay tight wit Paul!” Anodda guy tell, “Me, I stay tight wit Apollos!” An anodda guy tell, “Me, I stay tight wit Peter!” An dis odda guy tell, “Me, I stay tight wit Christ!”

13 So, wassup? No can split up Christ ohana, you know! Eh! You guys tink was me dat wen go mahke on top da cross fo you guys? No way! You guys tink wen dey baptize you, dat make you guys come my guys, o wat? Not even! 14 ✡I tell God “Mahalo plenny” dat I neva baptize nobody ova dea by you guys. Ony da guys Crispus an Gaius. 15 Dass why nobody ova dea can tell dat dey get baptize fo come Paul guys. 16 ✡—Get one mo ting I no foget: I wen baptize some peopo in Stephen house too. But I foget if I wen baptize odda peopo ova dea by you guys, o not.

17 Eh, you know, wen Christ sen me, no was ony fo baptize! Da main ting he sen me fo do, was fo tell all da Good Kine Stuff Bout Him! An he neva like fo me talk bout him jus fo soun smart. Cuz if I wen jus talk smart kine da way peopo tink, dat goin take away da powa from wat happen wen Christ mahke on top da cross.

Christ Get Powa From God

(Isaiah 29:14)

18 All da stuff we stay tell bout how Christ mahke on top da cross, dat stuff soun stupid to da peopo dat goin come wipe out fo real kine. But fo us guys, he take us outa all da bad kine stuff we stay do. So den, da Christ an da cross story get plenny powa from God fo help us guys. 19 ✡Dass jalike wat Isaiah write inside da Bible befo time:

God tell,

“All da stuff dat da guys tell

Dat know wat fo do erytime,

Goin all come wipe out.

An all da stuff dat da guys tell

Dat undastan stuff,

Nobody goin know wat dey know bumbye.”

20 ✡ So wat den? Wat goin happen to da smart guys? An to da teacha guys dat teach da Rules? An to da guys dat nowdays can talk good an make you tink anodda way? Eh! God make all dem guys look stupid! All da smart guys in dis world tink dey know wat fo do, but God make all dat come jalike notting!

21 You know God, he know wat fo do erytime. He neva let da peopo inside dis world figga how dey can know him fo real kine. Cuz da kine smarts dey get inside dis world, not good enuff fo know him. God, he figga lidis: Mo betta sen some guys aroun fo tell da peopo bout him, no matta get peopo dat figga da guys he sen kinda pupule fo talk lidat. But God figga dat from da stuff his peopo tell, odda peopo can trus him, an dass how he goin take um outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do.

22 You know, da Jew guys, dey erytime like us guys fo do someting awesome fo show proof dat we get powa from God. An da Greek peopo, dey ony like hear da smart kine stuff bout wat fo do erytime. 23 But us guys dat tell da Good Stuff Bout God, dis wat we tell. We stay tell peopo all ova da place how God wen sen dis Spesho Guy Christ ova hea. We tell how odda guys wen hang um on top one cross fo kill um. Da Jew guys hear all dat, but dey no can handle, cuz dey tink God Spesho Guy no goin mahke fo shua. An da Greek peopo, wen dey hear um, dey tink, “Stupid!” 24 But get odda peopo, some a dem Jew guys an some a dem Greek guys, dey da ones God tell fo come be his peopo. Fo dem, Christ show um dat God get plenny powa an he know wat fo do erytime. 25 Cuz no matta da peopo tink God stupid, he still mo smart den dem. No matta dey tink God not strong, he still mo strong den dem!

26 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! Fo undastan wat I mean, tink bout wat wen happen wit you guys, da time God wen tell all you guys fo come be his spesho peopo. If you tink da way da peopo inside da world tink, no mo plenny guys dat get plenny smarts wit you guys, o get da kine powa fo make odda peopo do wat dey like fo um do. No mo plenny guys wit you guys dat come from one big name ohana. 27 But God wen pick da peopo dat odda peopo from dis world tink dey lolo. Cuz he goin make da smart peopo come shame, dass why. An da peopo dat look jalike dey not strong hea inside dis world, God pick dem, cuz he goin make da strong kine peopo come shame too. 28 He pick da peopo dat no mo big name hea inside dis world, an da kine odda peopo make fun of, an dose dat no mean notting to nobody. God goin use dem fo make da peopo dat tink dey it, come jalike notting. 29 Az why nobody can talk big wen dey stan in front God.

30 You guys know how come you stay tight wit Jesus Christ? Az cuz God like um fo be lidat, dass why! God, he make Jesus da One fo make us guys know wat fo do erytime. An Jesus make us get um right wit God, an stay spesho fo God, an hemo us guys from da powa da bad kine stuff wen get ova us! 31 ✡So den, jalike da Bible tell befo time: “Anybody like talk big, mo betta dey ony talk big bout Da One In Charge erytime, an not talk big bout ony dem!”

2

Gotta Tell Erybody How Christ
Mahke On Top One Cross

1 Eh my braddahs an sistahs! Wen I wen go by you guys firs time, I wen tell you guys all da kine stuff from God dat nobody eva know befo time. But I neva ack jalike I mo betta den you guys. An wen I wen talk to you guys, I neva talk jus fo look smart. 2 Wen I was wit you guys, I figga lidis: I ony know one ting, an dass Jesus Christ. He da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, but was him da peopo wen hang on top one cross fo kill um. An dass da ony ting I know fo shua.

3 ✡You know, da firs time, wen I go ova dea by you guys, I no feel strong. I was sked an shaking. 4 No matta I stay teach, o stay talk to plenny guys, same ting, aah? I neva like talk jus fo make peopo tink, “Eh, we can trus wat dis guy stay tell us, cuz he know how fo talk real good, aah?” No ways, brah! But wen I talk, I show you guys dat I get da Spirit in charge a me, an az why I get da powa fo talk. 5 Cuz I figga, no good you guys trus God jus cuz you hear smart kine stuff somebody tell. Mo betta you trus God cuz he da One get da powa, an you see wat he do.

God Teach Us Wat Fo Do Erytime

6 Fo shua, wen us guys talk to da peopo dat stay solid inside, we teach um wat fo do erytime. But we no teach da same kine stuff da peopo inside da world stay teach nowdays bout wat fo do erytime, o da smart kine stuff da leada guys tink dass smart. (Dem leada guys, dey all goin come wipe out, you know.) 7 Us guys, we teach ony da kine stuff dat come strait from God bout how fo know wat fo do erytime. Cuz God hide um from da peopo befo time, but from da start he figga he goin let us guys know um, fo bumbye us come awesome to da max. 8 But da leada guys dat stay in charge nowdays, dey neva undastan. If dey wen undastan, fo shua dey no goin hang oua awesome Boss on top da cross fo kill um.

9 ✡Az why da smart kine stuff from God, az jalike da Bible tell,

“Get tings you neva see befo time,

Get tings you neva hear bout befo time,

You no can even figga how unreal dis ting goin be.

Dass da kine stuff God make ready

Fo us guys dat get love an aloha fo him.”

10 But fo us guys, God show us all da stuff we neva know befo time cuz God Spirit stay in charge a us.

Da Spirit, he undastan wat eryting mean. He even know eryting bout God, even wass hard fo us undastan. 11 Us guys, we all get oua spirit inside us. Dass how we know how we tink an ack. Same ting wit God—No mo nobody know how God tink an ack, but God Spirit, he know.

12 Da spirit us guys get inside us, az not da same spirit dat da peopo inside da world get. We get da Spirit dat come from God, cuz God like us know all da good kine stuff he give us guys.

13 Dass da kine stuff us guys stay talk bout. Us guys teach da stuff God Spirit teach us. We no need talk fancy kine, jalike how da smart guys like talk wen dey teach. But us guys, we make shua da peopo dat stay tight wit God Spirit undastan da tings dat come from God Spirit. 14 Dass why, if get one guy dat no mo God Spirit in charge a him, but ony da spirit dat da peopo inside da world get, dat guy no goin lissen da stuff dat come from God Spirit. He goin figga, “Az wase time!” No way da guy goin undastan. Gotta stay tight wit God Spirit fo figga out if dat kine stuff stay true. 15 Da guys dat stay tight wit God Spirit, dey can figga um out. But same time, all da odda peopo, dey no can figga out dat guy. 16 ✡Jalike da Bible tell:

“Who can figga out wat God stay figga, aah?

O who can teach God wat he suppose to do?

No mo nobody!”

But us guys, we know all dat cuz Christ help us guys figga um out jalike he figga um out.

All Us Guys Work Togedda Fo God

1 But eh, my braddahs an sistahs! I no can talk to you guys jalike you stay tight wit God Spirit. Cuz you guys ony like do wat make yoa body feel good. You guys stay tight wit Christ ony litto bit, jalike one bebe. 2 ✡I gotta tell you guys easy stuff, jalike da bebe ony stay drink milk. Cuz you guys not ready fo da hard kine stuff, jalike da bebe no can eat meat. You guys suppose to be strong, jalike you stay eat da meat awready! An still yet, you guys ony stay drink da milk. 3 Cuz you guys tink jalike da peopo dat ony ack how dey like, dass why. Wen somebody do someting mo betta den you, you get mad, an you like make argue wit each odda an bus up each odda! Kay den, wateva yoa body feel, dass how you guys tink an ack! You guys ony ack jalike all da peopo inside dis world. 4 ✡Erytime wen you guys tell you stay tight wit me Paul, o you stay tight wit Apollos, dat show dat you guys jalike all da odda peopo.

You Guys Jalike One Garden

5 Apollos, who da guy? Paul, who me? Me an him, we jus helpa guys. We help you guys fo trus Christ. Apollos, he do wat Da One In Charge like um fo do, an me, I do wat Da One In Charge like me fo do. 6 ✡Was me dat tell you guys bout Christ firs time. Dass jalike I wen plant da seed. Den Apollos wen come teach you guys. Dass jalike he watta da seed I wen plant. But God, he da One dat make um grow! 7 So den, dass why no matta who plant da seed, o who watta um. Ony one ting matta, dass God, cuz he da One dat make um grow. 8 Da guy dat plant da seed an da guy dat watta um, dey stay work togedda jalike one hui. Erybody goin get someting good fo wat dey do. 9 Cuz us guys an God, we work togedda. An you guys, you jalike da groun wea God goin plant da seed.

You Guys Jalike One Building

An same ting, you guys jalike da building God goin build. 10 Me, God do plenny good stuff fo me. Jalike I one good builda, God help me teach you guys solid stuff from da start, fo make shua you guys get one solid foundation fo yoa life. But da guy dat goin build on top dat foundation afta me, he gotta make shua he goin do um da right way. 11 No can make any kine foundation, cuz ony get one foundation fo life—dass Jesus Christ. God awready put him dea. 12 Some peopo goin build on top dat foundation, wit good kine stuff, stuff jalike gold, o silva, o diamonds—o dey goin build wit junk kine stuff, stuff jalike wood, o grass, o leaf. 13 Bumbye, erybody goin know wat kine stuff dem peopo wen do, if was good o bad. Dat time, God goin tes peopo, jalike he use fire fo show if wat erybody do was jalike good kine stuff o junk kine stuff. 14 If da stuff one guy do stay dea still yet afta da fire, God goin give dat guy plenny good kine stuff bumbye in da sky. 15 But if da fire burn up wat da guy do, God no goin give dat guy notting.

Da Guys Christ Sen All Ova

1 So den, tink bout us guys lidis: Us Christ helpa guys. God wen make us guys fo take kea his stuff dat was secret befo time. 2 Da guy dat goin take kea his boss stuffs, he gotta be da kine guy dat goin do wat he suppose to do. 3 No bodda me wat you guys tink bout da stuff I stay do, o wat da odda peopo tink. I no even ack jalike one judge fo me. 4 Inside, I tell me I okay, but dat no mean I okay. Da One In Charge, he da judge fo wat I do. 5 So, no make jalike you guys da judge fo odda peopo. Wait till Da One In Charge come back. He da One goin bring out in da light all da bad kine stuff da peopo try hide in da dark. He goin show all da tings dat dey tink inside dem. Den God goin talk good bout da good tings erybody do.

6 My braddahs an sistahs, I wen talk bout me an Apollos, jalike I draw one picha fo help you guys learn dis one ting from us guys: Ony do wat da Bible tell you fo do. If you guys learn dat, den you guys no goin talk big cuz you stay tight wit one a us guys an you make jalike da odda guy notting. 7 So, wat? You guys tink you diffren from all da odda peopo?

We jalike one show fo da peopo inside da world, an fo da angel messenja guys too. 10 Peopo tink we stupid cuz we Christ guys, but dey tink you guys mo smart cuz you stay tight wit him! Us guys no stay strong, but you guys stay real strong! Peopo get respeck fo you guys, but dey no mo respeck fo us guys. 11 Even now we stay hungry, but we still no mo food an no mo notting fo drink. We ony get puka kine clotheses. Peopo beat us wit sticks. We no mo place fo stay. 12 ✡Eh, we work hard wit oua hands. Wen dey talk any kine to us, we tell um, “We like God do good tings fo you guys.” Wen dey bus us up an make us suffa plenny, we still hang in dea. 13 Wen dey talk bad bout us, we talk good to dem. Dey tink us guys pilau. We jalike da rubbish from da world dat dey like throw way.

14 Eh! I no write dis fo make you guys come shame, but cuz I get love an aloha fo you guys jalike you my kids. Dass why I stay tell you guys dat you guys get problem. 15 Get uku plenny guys dat teach you guys cuz you stay tight wit Christ. But you guys get ony one faddah, dass me!

One Church Guy Go Fool Aroun

(Rules Secon Time 17:7; 19:19; 22:21, 24; 24:7)

1 ✡Fo real, some peopo tell dat one a you church guys stay fool aroun ova dea. Da guy stay do one mo worse ting den da peopo dat donno God. He even sleep wit his step muddah! 2 An you guys get big head bout dat! Mo betta you guys come sad an shame, an throw out da guy dat stay make lidat. 3 No matta I no stay dea wit you guys, cuz my heart stay ova dea. So, I awready judge da guy dat do dis bad ting. 4 I get da right fo do dat cuz Jesus Da One In Charge a us guys, an I his guy. So you guys, come togedda. Den you guys get da right fo ack fo Da One In Charge, Jesus. An goin be jalike my heart stay right dea wit you guys too. 5 Den, hand dis guy ova to Satan fo da guy see how stay wit Satan in charge an da guy do wass bad. Da guy goin change his mind. Den wen Jesus, Da One In Charge, come back, da guy spirit goin come out safe.

6 ✡No good you guys get big head! You guys donno dat ony litto bit yeast inside da bread dough can make da whole ting come big, o wat? Da yeast, dass jalike da bad kine stuff dat guy stay do. An dat goin make da odda church peopo come bad too. 7 ✡Throw dat guy outa da church. Den you guys goin come jalike new kine guys dat no mo notting bad inside. Dass how you guys stay. Az jalike da Jew peopo clean out all da ol yeast from dea house befo dey kill one spesho bebe sheep fo da Passova sacrifice. An God Spesho Guy Jesus, cuz he wen mahke fo us guys, he jalike da bebe sheep fo da Passova sacrifice dat make us guys come clean inside! 8 ✡Us guys, we jalike da Bread Dat No Mo Yeast Inside, dat da Jew peopo make fo eat Passova time. Az why all us guys gotta watch out dat we no do bad kine stuff, o hurt odda peopo. We wen make lidat befo time. Mo betta tell da trut erytime, fo erybody see dat we do eryting wit one good heart.

9 Jalike I wen tell you guys inside my letta befo time, “No hang aroun da kine peopo dat fool aroun.” 10 I no stay talk bout da peopo inside da world dat donno God, o da peopo dat like get eryting ony fo dem, o da peopo dat rip off da odda guy, o da peopo dat pray to da idol kine gods. Fo no stay aroun dat kine peopo, you gotta go anodda planet! 11 But now, dis wat I mean: you guys betta not hang aroun one guy dat tell he one braddah, but still yet he fool aroun, o he like get eryting ony fo him, o he go pray to da idol kine gods, o he talk bad an bulai bout odda peopo, o he get piloot, o he rip off peopo. Dat kine guy, no do notting wit him—no even eat wit um!

12 ✡You know wat? Dass not my kuleana fo make jalike one judge fo da peopo dat no trus God. But you guys suppose to be da judges fo da church peopo, aah? 13 God goin be da Judge fo da odda peopo dat no trus him. But you guys, jalike da Bible tell, “Da guy dat tell he stay tight wit God, but still yet do real bad kine stuff, throw out da buggah!”

One Braddah Bring Anodda Braddah
In Front Da Judge

1 Wot! If one a you guys get one beef wit anodda braddah, you guys no shame fo stan in front one judge dat no get um right wit God, o wat? Mo betta you go in front da peopo dat stay spesho fo God fo handle yoa beef! 2 You guys ack jalike you donno dat bumbye, da peopo dat stay spesho fo God goin be da judge fo all da peopo inside da whole world. So how come you guys no can figga out dis small kine stuff? 3 You know, all us guys goin even be da judge fo da angel guys. So den, you guys gotta judge da small kine stuff inside dis world. 4 Plus, if you guys get one beef wit anodda braddah bout small kine stuff, den how come you guys pick peopo fo be da judge dat da odda church guys no respeck? 5 An now, I like tell someting dat goin make you guys come shame: No even get one smart guy ova dea dat can figga out da small kine stuff dat oua braddahs an sistahs get wit each odda, o wat? 6 But one braddah go take anodda braddah in front da judge! Mo worse, da judge no even trus God!

7 Someting wrong, aah? Jam up, if you guys take each odda in front da judge. Mo betta you let da odda guy go if he do wrong to you! If he steal from you mo betta jus let um take da stuff! 8 But you guys, you do bad kine stuff to each odda, an steal from each odda too, an dey yoa Christian braddahs an sistahs, an den!

9 You guys ack jalike you donno dis: Da peopo dat no like do da right ting, no way dey goin get God fo dea king. No let nobody bulai you guys fo make you do wrong! Da guys dat fool aroun da wahines, da peopo dat go pray to da idol kine gods, da peopo dat sleep wit anodda guy wife o husban, da guys dat make sex wit odda guys, da mahu kine guys, 10 da steala guys, da greedy guys dat like hog eryting ony fo dem, da piloot guys, da peopo dat talk any kine to anodda guy face, da peopo dat con da odda guy—fo all dese kine peopo, no way dey goin get God fo dea king!

11 Dass how some a you guys was befo time. But God, he make you guys come clean from all da bad kine stuff you wen do. He make you guys come spesho fo him an make you guys get um right wit him. All dat happen cuz you guys stay tight wit Da One In Charge. Az Jesus, God Spesho Guy. An you stay tight wit oua God Spirit too.

If You Show Respeck Fo Yoa Body,
Dat Show You Get Respeck Fo God

(Start 2:24; 1 Corint 3:16; 10:23; 2 Corint 6:16)

12 ✡Eh! Some a you guys tell, “Az okay fo me fo do all kine stuff.” But dis wat I tell: “Get tings dat I do, dat no help me notting.” Fo shua, okay fo me fo do all kine stuff, but I no goin let notting take me ova an make me do stuff dass not good. 13 Peopo tell, “Da food fo da opu, an da opu fo da food.” But no matta—God goin make all dat come poho. But you know, yoa body not fo fool aroun wit da wahines o da guys. You get one body fo work fo Da One In Charge, an he da One take kea yoa body. 14 God make Da One In Charge, Jesus, come back alive afta he mahke. An he get da powa fo make us guys come back alive too, afta we mahke!

15 You guys donno dat Christ own yoa body, jalike you guys was da parts a Christ body. So now, wat? You guys tink I goin take da parts from Christ body, an make um part a one wahine body dat fool aroun fo money? No way! Not even! 16 ✡You guys know dis awready: Wen one guy come togedda wit one hoa, togedda dey make one body. Da Bible tell befo time, “Dem two, togedda dey come one body.” 17 But da guy dat stay tight wit Da One In Charge, jalike da two a dem togedda come one spirit.

18 If you get chance fo fool aroun somebody, run da odda way! All da odda bad kine stuff anybody do, no jam up dea body. But anybody dat go fool aroun somebody, dey do bad kine stuff dat hurt da body a da guy dat fool aroun. 19 ✡How come you guys ack jalike you donno dat yoa body jalike one temple fo da Good An Spesho Spirit? God Spirit live inside you guys. God da One give his Spirit to you guys. Dass how come you guys not da boss fo yoa body. 20 Christ wen pay one high price fo you guys. So, show respeck fo yoa body da way you ack, an dass goin show dat you get respeck fo God.

Da Husban An Da Wife

1 Now I like talk bout da stuff you guys wen aks me inside yoa letta bout da guys an da wahines. Dass good fo one guy no touch da wahines. 2 But get peopo dat like fool aroun wit anybody, you know. Dass why mo betta all da guys get dea own wife an all da wahines get dea own husban. 3 Da husban gotta give his wife wat she need, an same ting fo da wife. 4 Da wife no ony own her body, but da husban own um too. Same ting, da husban no ony own his body, but da wife own um too. 5 No hold back from each odda. Can fo short time, but ony if da husban an da wife tell each odda dey goin hold back fo make time fo pray. An den dey come back togedda, so Satan no can presha you guys fo fool aroun behind da odda one back. But if you no come back togedda fas, you no goin be strong enuff fo tell Satan “No!” 6 I no tell you guys you gotta hold back, but can if you like. 7 I figga mo betta if peopo no marry jalike me. But all dem get one spesho powa dat God give um. He give some peopo da powa fo handle if dey marry, an give odda peopo da powa fo handle if dey no marry.

8 I like tell da peopo dat no stay married an da widows: Mo betta you no marry, jalike me awready. 9 But, if you no can handle, den mo betta get married. Mo betta fo marry den come all hot up.

10 ✡I like tell da married peopo dis (but dis come from Da One In Charge, not from me): Da wife not suppose to leave her husban. 11 O if she leave um, she not suppose to marry one mo time, o she gotta go back wit her husban an come pono wit him. An da husban not suppose to make his wife go way too.

12 An fo da odda guys, I like tell um dis (dass me stay talk, not Da One In Charge): If one Christian braddah get one wife dat no trus God, he not suppose to throw her out if she like stay wit him. 13 Same ting, if one wahine get one husban dat no trus God, she not suppose to leave him if he like her stay wit him. 14 Da husban dat no trus God stay spesho fo God still yet, cuz he stay tight wit da wife dat trus God. An da wife dat no trus God stay spesho fo God still yet, cuz she stay tight wit da husban dat trus God. If no was lidat, den dea kids no stay spesho fo God. But cuz one a da faddah-muddah guys trus God, da kids stay spesho fo God too. 15 But da husban o da wife dat no trus God, if dey like leave da one dat trus God, den let um go. Da one dat trus God no stay stuck in da marriage if da one dat no trus God like go. Cuz God tell you guys fo come be his guys, fo notting bodda you. 16 But you sistah, if you one Christian wahine, maybe you can help yoa husban get outa da bad kine stuff. An you brah, if you one Christian guy, maybe you can help yoa wife get outa da bad kine stuff.

Stick Wit Da Way Da One In Charge
Give You Fo Live

17 But stick wit da way Jesus Da One In Charge give you fo live, cuz God tell you fo come be his guys. Dis da rule I teach all da church peopo ery place. 18 If you get da cut skin mark on top yoa body fo show you one Jew, an den God tell you fo come be his guy, no need change da mark. But if you no mo da mark, an God tell you fo come be his guy, no need fo cut skin. 19 If you cut skin, no matta. If you neva cut skin, no matta. Dass same ting. Main ting us guys do wat God tell us fo do.

20 Wen God wen tell you fo come an be his guy, he neva tell fo change notting. Ony stay da way you was. 21 Jalike, if you was one slave wen God tell you fo come, no let dat bodda you. If you can get out, den get out. If not, dass okay. 22 If one guy stay one slave, an Da One In Charge tell um fo come be his guy, den da way Christ see um he not one slave no moa. An if da guy no was one slave wen Da One In Charge tell him fo come, now he one slave fo Christ!

23 Christ wen pay one high price fo you guys, you know. So no be one slave fo odda peopo. 24 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! Wen God tell you guys fo come be his guys, no go make all kine change. Ony stick wit da way you was wen God tell you guys fo come be his guys.

Da Peopo Dat Not Married

25 You guys wen go aks me bout da peopo dat neva sleep wit nobody. Da One In Charge neva tell me how dey gotta ack, but dis wat I figga. You can trus wat I tell, cuz God, he good to me an give me chance. 26 You know, get plenny trouble an presha nowdays. Dass why I figga, mo betta stay da way you was. 27 You get one wife? No throw her out. You no mo one wife? No stay look aroun. 28 But if you get married, az not wrong. If one wahine dat neva marry go marry somebody, az not wrong too. But da peopo dat get married goin get problem inside dis world. I ony stay try fo help you guys fo you no suffa.

29 Eh my braddahs an sistahs! I like tell dis: No mo time awready, if you get one wife o if you no moa. Cuz da way da world stay now, goin all pau. 30 Same ting if you stay cry o you no stay cry, if you stay good inside o you no stay good inside, if you can buy stuff o you no mo notting, 31 o if you use da stuff from dis world, o if you let um go, no big ting. Cuz da way da world stay now, goin all pau.

32 I like you guys no worry. Da guy dat not married, he get mo time fo tink bout Da One In Charge, az why he can do stuff fo make da Boss stay good inside. 33 Da married guy, he gotta tink bout da stuff inside da world too. Az why he no can tink good, cuz he like do good fo his wife, an same time tink bout Da One In Charge. 34 He get two diffren kine tings fo tink bout. Same ting, da wahine dat no mo husban an da wahine dat not married, dey get mo time fo tink bout Da One In Charge, how fo dem go all out fo him, dea spirit, dea body, eryting. But da married wahine gotta tink bout da stuff inside da world too. Az why she no can tink good, cuz she like do good fo her husban, an same time tink bout Da One In Charge. 35 I stay tell you guys dis stuff, cuz good fo you guys. I no like jam up you guys. I like you guys do da right ting, an know wat Da One In Charge like you fo do an stay ready fo do um, an no worry bout odda kine stuffs.

36 If get one guy dat stay ready fo marry one wahine, an he figga he make her wait long time, if she ol enuff fo marry awready, go fo it! Marry her, if dass wat you like. Dass okay, you no stay do notting wrong. 37 But if get one guy dat know wat he like, an he can handle, an wait, an he stay make up his mind fo no get married, dass okay too. 38 Good ting fo da guy marry her, but mo betta, da guy no get married.

Da Widows

39 So den, da wife gotta stay wit da husban till he mahke. Afta he mahke, she can marry if she like, but ony if da odda guy stay tight wit Da One In Charge. 40 I figga, I get God Spirit in charge a me, an dass wat he like me fo tell: Mo betta fo her if she no marry.

Da Food Dey Give To Da Idol Kine Gods

(Rules Secon Time 4:35, 39; 6:4)

1 Now I like talk bout da meat dat peopo give fo make sacrifice fo da idol kine gods. All us know plenny bout dis. But you know, if somebody know plenny, dat ony goin make dem tink dey mo smart den erybody. Mo betta get love an aloha fo da odda peopo. Dass wat goin make erybody come mo strong an mo solid inside.

2 Plus, if peopo dat tink dey know someting awready, dey still donno um da way dey suppose to know um. 3 But if somebody get love an aloha fo God, God know dem, an dass wass importan.

4 So den, even if da peopo make one sacrifice to da idol kine gods, an den somebody go eat dat food, we all know dat da idol kine gods inside dis world not da real God. Jalike da Bible tell, “Ony get one God dass fo real, an all da odda gods no mean notting.” 5 Get plenny kine tings inside da sky an inside da world dat da peopo tell dey gods o dey bosses.

6 But fo us guys, ony get one God,

He oua Faddah.

Eryting come from him,

An us guys do eryting fo him.

An ony get one Guy Dat Stay In Charge,

Dass Jesus Christ.

Wen God make eryting,

Jesus da One wen do um,

An us guys stay live

Cuz Jesus give us da real kine life.

7 But you know, get peopo dat donno dat. Some peopo, dey still yet tink erytime bout da idol kine gods, jalike dey wen tink befo time. Dass why, erytime dey eat da meat dat da odda peopo wen use fo make sacrifice fo da idol kine gods, dey tink, “Eh, dis food was one sacrifice fo da idol kine god, you know!” Dey tink, “If I eat dis, az bad!” An dat make dem feel all pilau inside so dey no pray, cuz dey not strong inside. 8 Ho! No mo no food dat can make us guys come mo close to God, you know. If we no eat um, dat no make us mo worse. An if we eat um, dat no make us mo betta.

9 But watch out! Jus cuz you get da right fo do someting, dat no mean, dass good dat you do um. If bumbye one braddah o one sistah dat no stay strong inside see you do um, an dat goin jam dem up—den az no good lidat! 10 You, you know dat all dis stuff okay. But if one braddah dat no stay strong inside see you stay sitting an eating ova dea inside one temple fo one idol kine god, wat you tink he goin tink? Fo shua, da guy goin tink dass okay fo him fo eat da food too, from da sacrifice dey wen kill fo da idol kine god. 11 You know plenny, but you goin make da guy dat no stay strong inside come wipe out if you do dat. An dat guy, he one Christian braddah, an God Spesho Guy wen go mahke fo him, an den! 12 You know wat? If dass how you guys stay do one bad kine ting agains yoa braddahs an sistahs, you hurt dem wen dey no stay strong inside. Eh! dass jalike you guys wen do one bad kine ting agains God Spesho Guy Christ! 13 So den, if I go eat dat stuff, an dat make my Christian braddah o sistah jam up, mo betta I no go eat dat kine meat, eva! Cuz I no like dem trip an fall down.

Wen God Sen Guys All Ova,
He Give Dem Rights

(Rules Secon Time 25:4)

1 Tink bout dis: I one guy dat do wateva I like do. God wen sen me all ova da place fo tell peopo bout him. I wen see Jesus, Da One In Charge a us guys. Cuz I stay tight wit him, all you guys wen trus Christ cuz a da work I wen do. 2 Even if God neva sen me fo talk to odda peopos, fo shua he wen sen me fo talk to you guys. Az how you guys wen come da proof dat show was God wen sen me, cuz you guys stay tight now wit Da One In Charge!

3 Fo da guys dat like find out wat kine guy me, I like tell um dis: 4 You no tink me an Barnabas get da right fo get stuff fo eat an drink from da peopo we teach, o wat? 5 You no tink we get da right fo take oua Christian wife wit us wen we go some odda place, o wat? Da odda guys God sen all ova da place, dey do dat, you know, even da Boss braddah guys an Peter. 6 O you guys tink dat ony me an Barnabas, us da ony guys dat no mo da right fo work fo money wen us teach peopo, o wat?

7 Eh, look da army guys. Dey no gotta buy dea food an clotheses. An da guys dat plant da grape, nobody goin tell dem, “No eat da grape!” Da sheep guy too, az okay fo him use da milk from da sheeps.

8 You guys tink I tell all dis stuff cuz I stay talking jalike da odda peopo? Da Rules From God tell da same ting, you know. 9 ✡Inside da Bible, da Rules dat God wen tell Moses fo write, tell dis: “Wen da cow stay work fo smash da wheat fo you take out da junks, you no go tie up his mout fo him no eat da wheat.” You tink God tell dat ony cuz he like take kea da cows fo dem eat, o wat? 10 Dass mo like he stay talking bout us guys too, fo help us! Yeah, he tell dat fo us guys. He tell, “Da guy dat plow da groun, an da guy dat take da junks outa da wheat o barley, wen dey work, dey still yet gotta wait fo eat. But dey know, bumbye dey goin get dea share.” 11 ✡You know, wen us guys wen teach you guys stuff from God Spirit, dass jalike wen one farma guy stay plant new stuff. So az importan, wen us guys teach we get food an drink fo oua body from you guys. 12 Get odda guys dat get da same right fo get food an stuff from you guys wen dey teach, aah? So, wat bout us guys? We get plenny mo rights den dem.

But you know, us guys, we neva use da rights we get. Mo betta we hang in dea wit wateva you give us, fo no jam up you guys. Cuz den you like lissen da Good Kine Stuff Bout Christ dat we stay tell you guys. 13 ✡Tink bout dis: da pries guys dat stay work inside da Jew temple, dey get dea food from da sacrifices da peopo bring to da temple. Da guys dat stay kill da animals on top da altar fo make sacrifice, dey can eat da meat dat da peopo give fo make one sacrifice. 14 ✡Same ting, Da One In Charge wen tell us guys dat da guys dat stay tell da Good Kine Stuff Bout Christ, dey suppose to get all da stuffs dey need fo live, from dea work.

15 Me, I get da rights fo get all dat, but I neva like do um lidat. I no write dis letta fo make you guys give me stuff. I figga, mo betta I mahke, den let somebody figga dat I no mo da right fo talk lidis. 16 Jus cuz I stay tell peopo da Good Kine Stuff From God, dat no mean I can talk big bout me. I gotta tell um bout God. Real sad if I no tell peopo da Good Kine Stuff From God! 17 If I wen do all dis stuff ony cuz I like, den da stuffs I get, jalike da money I get fo do one job. But if I do um cuz I gotta do um, den az jalike God stay trus me fo take kea his stuffs fo him. 18 So den, wat kine pay I goin get fo do all dat? I no need pay! I ony like tell peopo da Good Kine Stuff From God. I do um lidat an no charge notting. Dat make me feel good inside, jalike wen one guy get pay fo work. I do um an no need use all da rights dat I get cuz I stay tell da Good Kine Stuff From God.

19 I do wateva I like do, an no mo nobody can tell me how I gotta ack. But you know wat? Jalike I wen come jalike one slave guy fo erybody tell me wat fo do. Wen I make lidat, I can help plenny mo peopo fo know God, az why. 20 Fo da Jew peopo, I wen make jalike I one Jew guy, fo help da Jew peopo fo know God. Fo da peopo dat figga dey gotta stick wit da Rules From God, I do wat da Rules From God tell me fo do, fo me help dem fo know God too, no matta I know fo shua I no gotta do wat da Rules From God tell fo get um right wit him. 21 Fo da peopo dat donno da Rules From God, I wen come jalike dem fo bring to God da peopo dat donno da Rules From God. (Dat no mean, dat I no stay do wat da Rules From God tell me fo do, you know. I Christ Guy, an dass how come I stay do wat da Rules From God tell.) 22 Fo da peopo dat no stay strong inside, I come jalike I no stay strong inside too. Dass how I can bring um close to God. Fo erybody, I like come jalike dem. Dass how no matta wat, I goin help some peopo get outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in. 23 I stay do all dese tings fo erybody trus da Good Kine Stuff From God, an all us guys get all da good kine tings dat God like give us.

24 You guys know wat happen wen plenny runnas run in one race, aah? Erybody run, but ony one guy win da firs place medal.

Watch Out Fo Da Idol Kine Gods!

(Outa Egypt 13:21-22; 14:21-22; 16:4-5; 17:1-7; 32:1-6; Census 11:4-6; 20:2-17; 25:1, 9)

1 ✡Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! Dis one ting you guys gotta know: Befo time, oua ancesta guys wen stay unda da cloud God wen sen, an God wen open da Red Sea from one side to da odda side, an dey all wen walk thru on top da sea floor to da odda side. 2 Dass jalike one picha, da cloud an da Red Sea. Dass cuz da peopo wen trus Moses fo be dea leada, an wen go unda da cloud an inside da sea wit him. Dass jalike us guys trus Christ, an get baptize fo show dat us Christ guys, an us follow him. 3 ✡All da peopo wen eat da same food dat God Spirit wen give um, 4 ✡an dey all wen drink da same watta dat God Spirit wen give um fo drink. Wat dey wen drink wen come outa one big rock dat God Spirit wen give um. Jalike dat rock was dea ery place dey go, Christ was dea too. 5 ✡But God neva like how plenny peopo wen ack. Az why dey wen mahke, an dea bodies dey wen bury all ova da diffren places wea dey wen go.

6 ✡All dat stuff wen happen fo show us guys dat we not suppose to go all out fo do da bad kine stuff, jalike all da peopo dat time. 7 ✡No good we pray to da idol kine gods, jalike some a da peopo wen do. Da Bible tell dis: “Da peopo wen party in front da bebe cow kine god statue, an afta, dey start fo fool aroun each odda.” 8 ✡No good we go fool aroun da peopo dat we no stay married to. Dat time, some a da peopo wen make lidat, an dey all wen mahke die dead, twenny-three tousan a dem. 9 ✡No good we try find out how much bad kine stuff us guys can do befo Da One In Charge punish us. Some a da peopo wen do dat, an God wen sen snakes ova dea fo bite um an wipe um out. 10 ✡No good us grumble. Some a da peopo wen grumble ova an ova, an da Killa Angel Guy wen wipe um out.

11 All dat stuff wen happen to da Israel peopo fo show us guys someting, you know. Dey wen write um all down fo us guys learn wat kine stuff us betta not do, cuz da end a da world time stay coming!

12 Eh! If You tink you stay strong now, mo betta you watch out so you no do bad kine stuff. 13 Wen you guys get chance fo do da bad kine stuff, dass da same ting, jalike wat happen to all da odda peopo. But you know, you guys can trus God fo do wat he tell he goin do. He no goin let you guys get mo plenny presha den you guys can handle. Erytime get presha lidat, God goin make um fo you guys get outa dat. He goin make you guys strong fo handle da presha fo you no fall down.

14 Az why, my good frenz, weneva somebody try fo make you guys go down an pray in front da idol kine gods, run da odda way real quick! 15 I tell you dis cuz I know you guys can undastan real good. So make up yoa mind! Wat I tell you guys, az true o az not true?!

16 ✡Try tink bout dis: wen us guys tell God “Mahalo plenny!” an drink from da spesho cup—dat mean, dat all us guys stay tight wit God Spesho Guy Christ, da guy dat wen bleed an mahke. Dass how us share wat Christ wen do fo us guys. Wen we broke up da bread, dat mean da same ting—us guys all stay tight wit God Spesho Guy Christ, an us no foget dat time he wen mahke. Dass how we share wat Christ wen do fo us guys. 17 All us guys togedda jalike one bread. Wen erybody eat one piece a da bread, dat mean all us plenny peopo togedda stay jalike one body. 18 ✡Try tink bout how da Israel peopo do um: wen dey kill da animal on top da altar fo make one sacrifice fo God, da pries guys dat kill um take da meat fo eat. Dat mean dat dey all stay tight togedda wit God an wit da peopo dat wen bring da animal fo da sacrifice.

19 But wen I tell dis, you tink dat da sacrifice dey make fo da idol kine gods, dass someting fo real, o wat? No ways! Da idol kine god statue, dass notting! 20 ✡Dis wat I mean: wen da peopo dat donno God kill da animals fo make one sacrifice, dey do um fo da bad kine spirits. But I no like you guys come tight wit da bad kine spirits! Dey no stay do um fo da real God. 21 You guys, you no can drink from da cup dat show you stay tight wit Da One In Charge, an same time, you drink from one diffren kine cup dat show dat you stay tight wit da bad kine spirits. You guys no can eat da food from da table dat show you stay tight wit Da One In Charge, an same time, you stay eat da food dat show dat you stay tight wit da bad kine spirits. Come on! 22 ✡Wat you guys tink? Us goin make Da One In Charge come huhu wit us, o wat? No good we make lidat. O, you tink us guys mo strong den him?

Do Eryting Fo Show
How Awesome God Stay

23 ✡I get da right fo do all kine stuff, but eryting not good fo me. I get da right fo do all kine stuff, but dat no make me come mo strong inside. 24 Mo betta us no try fo do ony da stuff dat us guys like do. Mo betta us do da stuff dat help da odda peopo too.

25 So den, go eat da meat dey sell inside da meat market, an no go tell, “Dis okay fo me eat, o wat?” 26 ✡Da Bible tell, “Da One In Charge, he own da world, an eryting inside da world too,” you know. 27 If one guy dat no trus God tell you guys, “Go come oua house fo eat!” an you guys like go, den eat eryting dey give you, an no go tell, “Az okay fo me eat dis, o wat?”

28 But, if somebody tell you guys, “Dis meat come from one temple sacrifice fo one idol kine god,” den no eat um. You guys gotta figga bout da guy dat wen tell you dat, if okay o not okay fo him. 29 Az why you gotta tink bout wat da odda guy tink, if az okay fo him fo eat um. No tink ony bout wass okay fo you.

But eh! I get da right fo do wat I like do. Still yet, if anodda guy tink dass not okay fo him do dis ting, an az bad fo him, how come I no mo da right fo do wat I like do, jus cuz da odda guy tink az bad fo him? 30 If I eat da stuff an tell God “Mahalo plenny!” how come peopo talk bad bout me?

31 Eryting you guys do, eat, drink, wateva—do um all fo show how awesome God stay. 32 No go jam up nobody—da Jew guys, o da peopo dass not Jews, o da church peopo dat come togedda fo God. 33 Make jalike me: I try fo make all dose guys stay good inside. I no try fo do wass good ony fo me. I try fo do wass good fo erybody, fo dem get outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in too.

1 ✡An you guys, go copy me, jalike how I stay do. Cuz I stay try fo copy Christ, jalike he wen do.

How Come Da Wahines Cova Up
Dea Head Wen Dey Pray?

2 I get someting I like tell you guys—you all good guys cuz you guys tink bout me all da time, no matta wat. All da stuff I wen teach you guys, you guys still yet stay do um. Right on! 3 But no foget da ting you guys awready know: Da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, Christ, he stay in charge. He stay in charge a ery man, jalike da head stay in charge a da body. Same ting fo da wahine, da husban stay in charge a her, jalike he da head a her. An same ting wit God, he stay in charge a Christ, jalike he da head fo Christ.

4 If get one guy dat cova up his head wen he pray o talk fo God, dass jalike he do one shame kine ting dat make Christ come shame. Cuz Christ stay in charge a dat guy, he da head fo him. 5 But if get one wahine dat no cova up her head wen she pray o talk fo God, dass jalike she do one shame kine ting dat make her husban come shame. Cuz same ting, he stay in charge a her, an he da head fo her. Same ting, dass jalike if somebody wen cut one wahine hair bolohead fo make her come shame. 6 If da wahine no like cova up her head, den mo betta she cut off all her hair. But you know, if shame fo her fo cut her hair bolohead, mo betta her cova up her head, aah?

7 ✡Try tink bout dis: Da man betta not cova up his head, you know. Cuz God wen make da man look jalike him, an da man show how awesome God stay. An da wahine show how awesome da man stay. 8 ✡Wen God wen make da world, he neva make da man from da wahine, you know. He wen make da wahine from da man. 9 An he neva make da man cuz a da wahine. He wen make da wahine cuz a da man. 10 Az why da wahine suppose to put someting on top her head, fo erybody know dat she get da right fo pray an talk fo God—even da angel guys inside da sky goin know dat.

11 But wen dey stay tight wit Da One In Charge, da wahine no do notting widout da man, an da man no do notting widout da wahine. 12 God wen make da wahine outa da man, firs time. But afta, all da mans born from wahines. An God, he da One dat wen make eryting happen lidat.

13 You guys, try tink dis way: Wen one wahine pray to God, an she no use notting fo cova up her head, you tink dass good, o wat? 14 Da way you Corint guys tink, if one guy get long hair, jalike az shame fo him, aah? 15 But if da wahine get long hair, dat make her look awesome, aah? Fo her, God give her da long hair fo cova up her head jalike how suppose to do.

16 But if whoevas like make argue bout dis, dey gotta figga lidis: all us leada guys an da church peopo all ova, dass da way we do um.

How Fo Make Wen You Eat Da Food
Fo Rememba Da One In Charge

17 Wat I goin tell now, I no can tell notting good bout you guys. Weneva you guys come togedda, dat no make you guys mo betta. You come mo worse, brah!

18 Da firs ting, wen you guys come togedda fo church, I hear dis: you guys all split up. I tink, dis ting I hear, fo shua dass true! 19 (Fo shua, if get presha fo you guys split up, den can find out who lissen Da One In Charge, an who no lissen Da One In Charge.)

20 Cuz wen you guys come togedda fo eat, suppose to be fo no foget Da One In Charge, az Jesus. But you guys no do dat. 21 Cuz nobody share food, az why. Dey eat da food dey bring. Az why get guys dat stay hungry, an get odda guys dey get piloot. 22 Eh! You guys no mo house fo go eat an drink inside? O you guys tink da odda peopo dat come togedda fo church, dey notting? Da peopo dat no mo notting, you guys make um come shame! So, wat you guys like me fo tell you? You like me tell you az okay fo you guys make lidat? No ways! Not even!

Da Bread An Da Wine
Fo No Foget Da One In Charge

(Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-20)

23 You know, was Da One In Charge, Jesus, wen tell me bout dis, an I tell um all to you guys. Da Boss Jesus, dat same nite befo dey set um up fo kill um, he pick up one bread. 24 He tell God “Mahalo plenny!” an he broke da bread up. Den he tell, “Eat dis piece bread. Dis, my body, dass goin be fo you guys no foget me.”

25 ✡Same ting afta dey eat, he take da wine cup, an he tell, “Dis cup mean dat God wen make one new kine deal fo you guys, an I gotta bleed an mahke fo make um happen lidat. Weneva you guys drink um, dass goin be fo you guys no foget me. 26 Erytime you guys eat dis bread an drink outa dis cup, till I come back, dass jalike you guys stay tell da Jesus story ova an ova bout how I wen mahke—me, Da One In Charge a you guys.”

If You Not Okay Inside,
No Eat Fo Rememba Jesus

27 Dat mean, whoevas go eat da bread an drink outa da cup fo no foget how I wen mahke, if inside dey not good, God goin punish dem. Cuz az Jesus body an his blood, Da One In Charge, you know. An dass jalike dey no mo respeck, an make any kine jalike was notting. 28 Mo betta, firs ting, erybody check out how dey stay inside. If dey stay okay inside, den dey can eat da bread an drink outa da cup. 29 But anybody eat o drink an dey figga, “No mo diffrence, you know, dat Jesus wen mahke. Da One In Charge, Jesus, his body no mean notting spesho fo me.” Dass jalike dey looking fo trouble, cuz dey goin get punish fo eat an drink lidat. 30 Az why, get plenny peopo ova dea by you guys, dat no stay strong, an dey sick, an get peopo dat wen mahke awready. 31 But if us wen check out how us stay firs, den we no goin get punish lidat. 32 Wen Da One In Charge punish us guys, you know, he do dat fo teach us guys da right way. He no like fo us get punish an come wipe out wit all da peopo inside da world bumbye.

33 So den, my braddahs an sistahs, wen you guys come togedda fo eat, wait fo each odda. 34 But if somebody stay hungry, mo betta dey stay home fo eat. No good you guys come togedda, jus fo get punish. An all da odda tings you guys wen like aks bout, bumbye I goin tell you guys how fo do um wen I come dea.

Da Tings Dat God Spirit
Give Us Guys Da Powa Fo Do

1 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, I like you guys know bout da tings dat God Spirit give us guys da powa fo do. Not good if you donno dat! 2 You guys know awready, dat befo you guys wen come God peopo, someting wen make you guys erytime go da wrong way an follow da idol kine gods dat no can even talk, an you wen pray to dem. 3 Az why I like make shua you guys know dat nobody dat stay tight wit da Good An Spesho Spirit goin tell, “Dam you, Jesus!” An nobody goin tell, “Jesus stay in charge!” if dey no stay tight wit da Good An Spesho Spirit.

4 ✡God Spirit give diffren peopo da powa fo do all diffren kine tings, but all dat come from da same Spirit. 5 Get diffren kine ways fo work fo God, but all da worka guys get da same One In Charge. 6 God make all diffren kine tings happen fo all da diffren peopo, but get da same God dat stay make eryting happen fo erybody.

7 God show erybody wat his Spirit stay do, dass fo erybody help each odda. 8 He give his Spirit to some guys fo give dem da powa fo tell odda peopo wass da bestes ting fo dem do. Fo odda guys, da same Spesho Spirit give um da powa fo dem tell wat dey undastan. 9 He give odda peopo da powa fo trus God plenny cuz dey stay tight wit his Spirit. Odda peopo, dey can make da sick peopo come good. 10 An odda peopo, God give um da powa fo do awesome kine stuff dat show da powa God get. An odda peopo, he give um da powa fo talk fo God, an oddas, he give um da powa fo figga wat spirits come from God an wat spirits not from God. Oddas can talk diffren kine language. An still yet oddas can tell wat da diffren language mean. 11 Da same Spirit, he do all dis. He give erybody da powa fo do da ting dat he like dat guy fo do.

Inside One Body Get Plenny Diffren Parts

12 ✡Same ting wit da body, you know. You ony get one body, an inside da body, get plenny parts. No matta get plenny parts inside da body, az ony one body.

Same ting wit God Spesho Guy Christ an his ohana. 13 Us guys stay tight wit da one Spirit. Az why, wen us guys wen get baptize, us all come jalike we one peopo. No matta we Jew o not, no matta us gotta work like one slave o not, God wen give all us guys da One Spirit, jalike us all drink watta from da same puka.

14 Inside oua body, no mo jus one part—get plenny diffren parts. 15 Wat if one foot wen go tell, “Me, I not one hand, so gotta be, I not from dis guy body!” You tink dat mean da foot not from da same guy body? No way! 16 An wat if yoa ear wen go tell, “Me, I not one eye, so gotta be, I not from dis guy body!” Same ting, you tink dat mean dat da ear not from da same guy body? Not even! 17 If all yoa body was one eye, how you goin hear? If all yoa body was one ear, how you goin smell? 18 But you know, God wen make oua body one ting, an he wen put all da diffren kine parts inside, jalike he wen like fo do. 19 If oua whole body was jus one part, den no mo body, aah? 20 But fo real, oua body get plenny parts, an dass wat make da whole body one ting.

21 Da eye no can tell da hand, “I no need you, you know!” Da head no can tell da foot, “I no need you, you know!” 22 Get tings inside da body dat us guys tink not real strong, but eh! we need um. 23 Get odda tings inside da body dat us guys figga not importan, but eh! we take good kea dem. An get tings inside da body, we figga dey not fo show, so we make um fo dem look good. 24 Da tings inside da body dat look good, no need do notting fo dem.

But you know, wen God wen put eryting togedda fo make da body, he wen take da tings dat not so importan an make um importan, 25 cuz he no like da body stay all split up. He like eryting inside da body fo work togedda wit each odda, same same. 26 If one part a da body suffa, all da odda parts suffa, same time. If one part a da body stay awesome, all da odda parts feel good, same time.

27 Same ting wit you guys. You jalike Christ body. Erybody jalike one part inside Christ body. 28 ✡From all da peopo dat come togedda fo church, da numba one importan ting, God sen some guys all ova da place fo tell wat he tell. Numba two, he make some peopo his talka guys. Numba three, he make some peopo teachas. Den, he give some peopo da powa fo do all kine awesome stuff dat show da powa God get. Odda peopo can make da sick peopo come good. Odda peopo can help. Odda peopo can bring peopo togedda fo do stuff. An odda peopo, he give um da powa fo dem talk diffren kine language.

29 Now, wat you guys figga? You tink God sen erybody all ova da place fo tell wat he tell? No ways. You tink he make erybody talk fo him? No ways. You tink he make erybody teacha guys? No ways. You tink he make erybody do awesome kine stuff? No ways. 30 You tink he give erybody da powa fo make da sick peopo come good? No way. You tink he make erybody talk diffren kine language? No ways. He make erybody tell wat da diffren kine language mean? No ways.

31 Now, you guys go all out fo handle da mos importan stuff God give you fo do.

Still yet, I like show you guys da bestes way fo live:

Love An Aloha

1 If I wen talk all da diffren kine language peopo talk, peopo kine an even angel kine, but I no mo love an aloha, wat den? I ony stay talking jalike one junk kine bell o one kalangalang cymbal. 2 ✡An if I was one guy dat talk fo God, an I wen know all kine secret stuffs an all da kine stuffs dat da smart guys know, an if I wen go all out fo trus God fo make da mountains move, but I no mo love an aloha, den wat? Az poho all dat! 3 If I wen sell all my stuffs an use da money fo give food to da pooa peopo, an even throw my body in da fire fo make one sacrifice, but I no mo love an aloha, wat den? Poho! All dat wase time!

4 Wen you get love an aloha, you can handle all kine pilikia an hang in dea long time. An you get one good heart fo help da odda peopo. You no get jealous cuz da odda guy get someting you like. Wen you get love an aloha, you no need talk big. You no mo big head. 5 You no ack pilau kine. You no ack jalike erybody gotta do eryting yoa way. You no get huhu fas. Wen you get love an aloha, you foget all da bad kine stuff peopo wen do to you. 6 You no feel good inside wen somebody do someting dass wrong, but you feel real good inside wen somebody tell da trut. 7 Wen you get love an aloha, you can hang in dea fo eryting an no give up eva. You erytime trus God bout eryting. You know eryting goin come out good bumbye. An you can be strong erytime.

8 Wen you get love an aloha fo somebody, dass goin las foeva. But fo da guys dat talk fo God, wat dey tell no goin las. Wen peopo talk diffren kine languages, bumbye nobody goin talk lidat. Da stuff da smart guys know, bumbye no goin need dat. 9 You know, we ony know litto bit. Wen we talk fo God, we get ony litto bit fo tell. 10 Bumbye, da time goin come wen eryting stay perfeck. Dat time, no goin need da litto bit kine stuff no moa. 11 From small kid time, I wen talk jalike one small kid. I wen tink jalike one small kid. I wen figga out eryting jalike one small kid. Now I stay big, az why I no do da tings da same way da small kids do um.

12 Right now, us guys can undastan stuff, but ony jalike us see someting in one junk kine mirror. Hard fo figga wat we see in dea. But bumbye, goin come clear. Us guys goin see eryting jalike stay right dea in front oua face. Right now, I ony know litto bit. But bumbye, I goin undastan eryting, jalike God undastan eryting bout me.

13 So now, get three tings dat stay: trus God, know eryting goin come out okay bumbye, an get love an aloha fo erybody. From da three tings, get love an aloha fo erybody, dass da main ting, an da bestes way!

Diffren Kine Tings Dat God Spirit
Give Peopo Da Powa Fo Do

(Isaiah 28:11-12)

1 Go all out fo get love an aloha. An geev um so God Spirit give you da powa fo do all kine tings da Spirit like you fo do. But you know wat kine powa you need da mos? You need da powa fo talk fo God, dass da main ting! 2 Cuz you know, wen one guy talk one diffren kine language, God Spirit give him da powa fo tell stuff dat still yet stay secret. But da guy no talk to da peopo dea. He talk to God. No mo nobody dea undastan da guy. 3 But da guy dat talk fo God, ho! he stay talk to da peopo dea. He make da peopo dat hear him mo strong inside, an he give um good kine words, an he kokua dem. 4 Da guy dat talk one diffren kine language, ony him come mo strong inside. But da guy dat talk fo God, he make all da peopo dat come togedda fo church mo strong an solid inside.

5 I like all you guys talk diffren kine language, you know. But mo betta den dat, I like you guys talk fo God. Da guy dat talk fo God, he mo importan den da guy dat talk diffren kine language. But dass okay fo talk diffren kine language, if you get somebody fo tell wat da guy mean wen he stay talk lidat. Den all da odda peopo dat come togedda fo church goin come mo strong inside, cuz dey all undastan wat da guy tell.

6 Kay den, my braddahs an sistahs! Tink bout dis. If I come by you guys, an I talk diffren kine language, how dat goin help you guys, aah? Ony get one way I goin help you guys. Wen I talk to you guys, I gotta tell you guys someting God like you fo know, dat was secret befo time, o help you guys undastan someting, o tell you guys wat God tell, o teach you someting, aah? 7 Same ting, you know, wit da music instrument. Dey not alive, but dey make soun. Da flute o da harp o wateva, if dey no can change da note, how anybody goin figga wat song dey stay play? No can. 8 An if da bugle make funny kine noise, how da army guys goin know wen dey suppose to get ready fo fight, aah? No can. 9 Fo you guys, same ting wen you stay talk one diffren kine language—if you no tell stuff easy fo undastan, you know, you ony stay talk to da air.

10 Get plenny diffren kine language hea inside da world, an ery language good fo da peopo tell wat dey like tell. 11 But if I donno dea language, da peopo dat stay talk lidat, I goin know dat dey not from my peopo, an fo shua dey goin know dat I not from dea peopo.

12 Same ting wit you guys—you like go all out fo get powa from God Spirit. Kay den. Mo betta you go all out fo get da kine powa dat goin help all da peopo dat come togedda fo church fo come mo strong inside! 13 So den, da guy dat stay talk one diffren kine language, he suppose to go aks God fo da powa fo tell wat he mean wen he talk da odda language.

14 Me, if I talk one diffren kine language wen I pray, I pray inside, but I no tink wat I mean inside my head. 15 So, wat I suppose to do, aah? I goin pray how I like pray inside, plus, I goin figga inside my head how I goin pray, same time. I goin sing fo God how I like sing inside, plus, I goin figga how I goin sing inside my head, same time. 16 If you tell inside you how good God stay an you stay use one diffren kine language, an get one guy inside da meeting dat no undastan wat you tell, how he goin tell “Dass right!” wen you tell God, “Mahalo plenny!” wit da odda language? He no can cuz he no undastan. 17 Fo shua, you do good wen you tell God “Mahalo plenny!” wit one diffren kine language. But dat no help da odda guy fo come mo strong inside.

18 You know, I talk some diffren kine language mo plenny den all you guys, an I tell God “Mahalo plenny!” fo dat. 19 But wen I come togedda wit God peopo fo church, mo betta I tell ony litto bit fo da peopo undastan, an fo me teach dem stuff. Dass mo betta den if I use uku pile a words wen I stay talk one diffren kine language dat dey no undastan, aah?

20 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! No go tink jalike small kids no moa! (Fo do da bad kine stuff, shua! Ack jalike bebes! Cuz da bebes, dey donno how fo do bad kine stuff.) But fo undastan wass da main ting, you gotta grow up! 21 ✡God tell dis inside his Rules:

“I goin try talk to dese peopo

Wit peopo dat talk anodda kine language.

But no matta wat I do, dey no goin lissen.

Dass wat Da One In Charge tell.” 22 An dat mean, wen peopo talk one diffren kine language, dass jalike one sign fo da peopo dat no trus God fo dem know wat God can do. Dat kine talk, not fo help da peopo dat trus God awready. But wen God make peopo talk fo him, dass fo help da peopo dat trus God, not fo da peopo dat no trus God.

23 So, wat? If all you guys come togedda fo church, an you all talk diffren kine language, an get some peopo dat come inside dea dat no mo da powa fo undastan dat kine talk, o some peopo dat no trus God, wat dey goin tell? Dey goin tell, “Dese peopo hea, dey get some spirit dat take ova dem, an dey pupule fo shua!”

24 But if all you guys talk fo God, an one guy dat no trus God come inside dea, o one guy dat no mo da powa fo undastan da diffren kine language, dat guy goin lissen da tings erybody stay tell. Wat da talka guys tell goin show proof dat da odda guy wen do bad kine stuffs, jalike dey was all judges an know eryting bout him awready. 25 Cuz da secret kine tings dat da guy no like nobody know, he try hide um inside him, but no can, cuz dat stuff goin come outside an erybody goin know. Den he goin go down on his face an show God love an respeck, an tell erybody, “Fo shua, God stay wit you guys!”

Do Eryting Da Right Way

26 Kay den, my braddahs an sistahs. Wen you guys come togedda, erybody get someting—one song bout God, o someting fo teach, o fo tell someting dat God like tell dat was secret befo time, o someting fo tell in diffren kine language, o dey can tell wat da odda peopo mean wen dey talk diffren kine language. Eryting dey do, gotta be fo make each odda come mo strong inside. 27 If somebody like talk one diffren kine language, dass all right, but ony two o three lidat an no moa. One guy no can start till da odda guy pau, an gotta get somebody fo tell wat dose peopo mean wen dey talk one diffren kine language lidat. 28 An if no mo nobody fo tell wat dey mean, den dey not suppose to talk one diffren kine language in front da church peopo. Dey ony suppose to talk diffren kine language inside dea head, an dey can talk to God lidat too.

29 Da peopo dat like talk fo God, same ting: two o three guys can talk fo God, an da odda peopo gotta figga out how fo do wat da guys dat talk fo God tell um fo do. 30 But if get anodda guy dat stay sit dea, an God show dat guy someting dat was secret befo, an now da guy like tell wat God show um, den da one dat stay talk fo God suppose to stop. 31 All you guys can talk fo God, firs one guy den anodda, you know. If you do um lidat, all you guys goin learn someting, an all you guys goin get good kine words fo feel mo betta. 32 Da guys dat talk fo God, wen dey get da powa from da Spirit fo talk fo God lidat, dey still stay in charge a wat dey tell. 33 Cuz God, he no jam up nobody. He make um so no mo notting bodda dem inside.

All ova da place, wea evas da peopo dat stay spesho fo God come togedda fo church, get dis custom: 34 Da wahines suppose to stay quiet wen erybody come togedda fo church. Dey not suppose to talk. Dey suppose to show respeck fo da leada guy. Da Rules From God tell da same ting, aah? 35 Wen dey get one question, dey gotta aks dea husbans bout um wen dey go home. Shame, aah? if da wahines talk wen God peopo come togedda fo church!

36 Wot! If you guys no like follow dis custom, try tink bout dis: Who was da guys dat wen start fo tell wat God tell, firs time? Was you guys? No way! O you guys tink you da ony peopo dat eva hear wat God tell, o wat?!

37 Anybody tink dey one guy dat talk fo God, o tink dey stay tight wit da Spirit, dey gotta know dis: Da stuff I stay write to you guys, dass da stuff dat Da One In Charge wen tell us guys we gotta do. 38 Anybody no lissen wat Da One In Charge tell, no lissen dose guys!

39 My braddahs an sistahs, wat all dis mean?! Dis mean, go all out fo talk fo God! An no go tell peopo dey no can talk one diffren kine language. 40 But wen you guys come togedda, gotta do one ting firs, an afta, da nex ting. Gotta do eryting da right way.

Christ Come Back Alive Afta He Mahke

1 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! I like you guys no foget da Good Kine Stuff From God dat I wen tell you befo time. You guys wen learn um good, an stick wit um good. 2 If you guys hang in dea wit da Good Stuff From God dat I wen tell you guys awready, dass how you guys goin get outa da bad kine stuff. But if you guys no hang in dea, den wat you guys wen learn from da Good Kine Stuff From God, all goin be fo notting!

3 ✡From all da stuffs I wen learn, I pass down to you guys dis main ting: Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, he wen mahke cuz us guys stay do bad kine stuff, jalike da Bible tell from befo time. 4 ✡Dey wen bury him. Den, day numba three, Christ wen come back alive, jalike da Bible tell from befo time. 5 ✡Den Christ wen let Peter see him, an den his Twelve Guys wen see him. 6 Afta dat, mo den five hundred braddahs an sistahs was togedda, an Christ wen let all dem see him. Mos a dem stay alive still yet, ony some a dem wen mahke awready. 7 Den Christ wen let James see him, an afta, all da guys he wen sen all ova da place, dey wen see him too.

8 ✡Me, I was da las guy fo see Christ. Jalike I was da bebe dat wen born late. 9 ✡You know, dem odda guys dat Christ wen sen all ova da place, all dem mo importan den me. I even wen go try fo hurt da church peopo dat come togedda fo God. Dass why me, I not good enuff fo peopo call me one messenja guy fo God. 10 But God, he unreals good to me! He wen make me come how I stay now. An he neva wase time wen he wen do real plenny good stuff fo me. Afta he wen do um, den I wen work mo hard den all da odda guys. But no was me—was God, you know, dat wen do all da good tings fo me, an he stay work inside me still yet.

11 But no matta me o da odda guys, we all teach da same ting. Erytime we tell da peopo da Good Stuff From God. An dass wat you guys wen trus.

Da Mahke Guys Goin Come Back Alive

12 Kay den. Wen us guys teach bout Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, we tell erybody he wen come back alive afta he wen mahke, aah? So how come, get some a you guys dat tell, “No, da mahke guys, dey no goin come back alive, you know.” Wot! 13 Wat you talking bout?! Eh! If da peopo dat mahke no goin come back alive, dat mean Christ neva come back alive too! 14 An if Christ neva come back alive, den all da stuff us guys stay tell da peopo, dat no mean notting. Wase time if you guys trus him. 15-16 Plus, dat make peopo tink us wen bulai wen we tell peopo how God stay. Cuz dis wat we tell um bout God: “He wen make Christ come back alive afta Christ mahke!” Dass wat we tell um. Us no bulai no moa, you know. But if az true, dat da mahke peopo no can come back alive, den soun jalike az true wat dose guys tell. Dey tell dat wen Christ wen mahke, God neva make Christ come back alive. But dey wrong! 17 Try tink: if Christ neva come back alive afta he wen mahke, den you guys jalike ony wase time fo trus God. Cuz you guys still yet get da shame fo all da bad kine stuff you guys wen do! 18 Same ting wit da odda peopo dat wen stay tight wit Christ befo time an wen mahke awready—if Christ neva come back from mahke, dey stay cut off from God foeva too! But he wen come back fo shua! 19 Us guys stay shua dat Christ goin do good tings fo us. But if us tink lidis ony fo da time wen we stay hea inside dis world, den eh! us guys poho tink lidat! Den erybody goin pity us mo plenny den all da odda peopo inside da world!

Wat Goin Happen
Cuz Christ Come Back Alive

20 Eh! But not lidat, you know! God Spesho Guy Christ, he wen come back alive afta he mahke! He jalike da firs fruit dey pick, an plenny mo goin come afta. Christ, he da firs guy eva fo come back alive afta he mahke! An plenny mo mahke peopo goin come back alive too. 21 Had one guy Adam jalike us guys. He do someting bad an dat make all us odda guys mahke. An had anodda guy Christ jalike us guys. He do someting good, an cuz a dat, da mahke peopo goin come back alive! 22 Cuz a wat Adam wen do, an cuz erybody come from Adam, az why dey all gotta mahke. But cuz a wat Christ wen do, God goin make erybody dat stay tight wit Christ come alive!

23 But eryting gotta happen da right time, you know. Christ, he da firs guy dat come back alive, jalike da firs fruit dey pick from da farm. Bumbye, wen Christ come back hea, his peopo goin come back alive too. 24 An afta Christ come back, he goin wipe out all da spirits dat tell, “Me, I da leada! I stay in charge a eryting! I get da right fo make how I like! I strong!” Den Christ da King goin turn ova eryting to God his faddah, an eryting goin come pau. 25 ✡Christ gotta stay da King, you know, till God bus up all da peopo dat go agains Christ fo show dat Christ da winna ova dem. 26 An get anodda ting dat stay agains us guys—us gotta mahke. Dass da las ting God goin wipe out. Den from dat time, nobody goin mahke. 27 ✡Da Bible tell befo time, “God put his Spesho Guy in charge a eryting.” But you know, wen God tell “in charge a eryting”—fo shua, God no mean somebody goin stay in charge a God. Was God, da One wen put his Spesho Guy in charge a eryting he wen make. 28 Bumbye, God Spesho guy goin be Da One In Charge a eryting. Den God Boy goin turn ova eryting to God. God, he da One wen put his Boy in charge a eryting. An den God goin come Da One In Charge a eryting, fo erybody!

Get Peopo Dat No Stay Shua
Dat Christ Wen Come Back Alive

29 If no was lidat, how come get guys dat get baptize fo da mahke peopo? If da mahke peopo no goin come back alive fo shua, how come get guys dat get baptize fo da mahke peopo? 30 An us guys, how come us no sked mahke fo you erytime, if da mahke guys no goin come back alive? 31 Same ting, ery day I stay shua dat I no sked mahke fo you! But I swea to God, my braddahs an sistahs, no bodda me if I mahke. I real proud a you guys, you know, cuz I stay tight wit Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. 32 ✡No matta I fight guys dat ack jalike wild animals Efesus side, dass okay! But if I ony do um ony fo me, an not fo God, dass wase time, you know. If da peopo dat mahke no goin come back alive, den mo betta us guys tink jalike da peopo talk, “Eh! Eat plenny! Suck um up! Cuz tomorra us all goin mahke die dead!”

33 Eh! No go tink da wrong way lidat! Jalike dey tell, “You hang out wit da bad kine guys, dat goin jam you up fo you no be one good guy!” 34 Wise up! Tink strait how you suppose to tink! No go do da bad kine stuff no moa! Cuz even get some peopo dat donno God, you know. I stay talk lidis fo make you guys come shame.

Wat Kine Body We Goin Get
Wen We Come Back Alive?

35 But somebody goin tell, “How da mahke guys goin come back alive bumbye? Wat kine body dey goin get?”

36 Try tink! Fo shua, wen you plant one seed, da seed cova gotta come rotten inside da groun firs, aah? Ony afta dat, da inside part come alive an grow. 37 Wen you plant da seed, you no plant someting dat look jalike da ting dat goin grow, aah? You plant da dry seed, wheat seed o some odda kine seed. 38 But God, he da One dat make da seed, an he da One make how da plant goin look wen come up. Ery diffren kine seed, wen start fo grow goin look diffren. 39 Jus cuz peopo call plenny kine tings “one body,” dat no mean dey all da same kine ting. Da peopo, us get one kine body. Da animals, dey get anodda kine. Da birds, anodda kine. Da diffren kine fish, anodda kine. 40 An get diffren kine tings inside da sky an inside da world. Da tings inside da sky, dey stay awesome, but dey diffren den da tings inside da world. An da tings dat get one body hea inside da world, dey all awesome too, but dey diffren den da tings inside da sky. 41 Da sun awesome, but not same kine awesome jalike da moon. An da moon stay awesome, but not jalike da stars, aah? An da stars, dey awesome too, but diffren kine awesome. An da way one star shine, anodda star shine diffren, but all stay awesome still yet, you know.

42 Wen da mahke guys come back alive, same ting goin happen jalike wit da seed, aah? Dey put da guy body inside da groun an da body come rotten. But wen da guy come back alive, he no goin mahke eva! 43 Wen dey put da mahke body inside da groun, da body come wasted. But wen da guy come back alive, he goin come awesome! Wen dey put da body inside da groun, da guy no can do notting. But wen he come back alive, he goin be strong awready! 44 Befo dey put da mahke body inside da groun, da body was one guy dat tink an feel, aah? But afta he come back alive, goin be God Spirit dat make da body live fo real kine! Get peopo dat tink an feel, you know, an get peopo dat get da real kine life from God Spirit. An dey get diffren kine bodies. 45 ✡Dis wat da Bible tell befo time: Da firs guy dat was jalike us guys was Adam. He “wen come alive an he wen tink an feel.” But da las Adam kine guy is Christ. He get one spirit inside him dat make odda peopo come alive fo real kine too.

46 Firs ting, get da guy dat ony tink an feel. Den laytas, get da guy dat get da real kine life from God Spirit. 47 Da firs guy Adam wen come from da groun. God wen make him from da dus. Da odda guy Christ, he wen come from da sky. 48 An us guys dat come from da dus, us jalike dat odda guy Adam dat God wen make from da dus. But da peopo dat stay tight wit God in da sky, dey stay jalike da Christ Guy dat wen come from da sky. 49 Us guys, right now we look jalike da Adam guy dat God wen make from da dus. Bumbye, us goin come jalike da Christ Guy dat come from da sky, too.

50 Eh my braddahs an sistahs! Let me tell you guys someting. Peopo wit blood an bones, az not enuff fo dem come God kids an get him fo dea king! Peopo wit one body dat goin come rotten, dey no can handle da good kine stuff dat no goin come rotten eva. 51 ✡So, lissen up! I like tell you guys one ting dat was secret befo time! From all us guys, get some guys dat no goin mahke! But all us guys goin come diffren! 52 Dis goin happen real fas, mo fas den can blink yoa eye. Goin happen bumbye wen time fo blow da las trumpet. Goin get da noise from da trumpet. Right den, da mahke guys goin come back alive. No way dey goin mahke an come rotten one mo time! Same ting wit us guys, us all goin come diffren. 53 All dis stuff dat goin come rotten, gotta come diffren kine, fo bumbye no come rotten no moa. Dis body dat mahke now, gotta come diffren kine fo no mahke no moa! 54 ✡Dat time, da body dat come rotten goin come diffren kine, an no goin come rotten fo shua no moa! Dat body dat mahke now goin come diffren kine, an no goin mahke no moa! Wen all dis happen, goin happen jalike da Bible tell from befo time:

“Us guys no goin mahke no moa,

Cuz Christ, he da winna ova dat!”

55 ✡“Da Devil like make us guys mahke,

But he wen lose awready!

Us no goin cry inside,

Cuz da Devil no can wack us guys fo us mahke no moa!”

56 How come he can wack us guys now an we mahke? Az cuz we do bad kine stuff, az why. An how come da bad kine stuff we do, get plenny powa ova us lidat? Cuz da Rules From God show dat da bad kine stuff not pono, az why. 57 But now, eryting stay diffren! All us guys like tell God, “Mahalo plenny!” He make us guys da winnas ova da bad kine stuff. Cuz Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ, he da winna!

58 So den, my braddahs an sistahs, my good frenz, stan strong an solid. No let notting shake you guys up. You guys stay work fo Da One In Charge awready, so den, go do mo an mo plenny good kine stuffs fo him erytime. You guys know dis: Wen you guys stay tight wit Da One In Charge, no matta you work hard an sweat plenny, no goin be fo notting!

Da Money Fo Help God Peopo

1 ✡Now we like talk bout da money dat you guys like give fo help da peopo dat stay spesho fo God. I wen tell da church peopo all ova Galatia, wat fo do wit da money, an now you guys, gotta do da same ting. 2 Ery Sunday, erybody suppose to stash some money fo dis, from wateva dey wen make. No good you guys try fo put da money togedda afta I come dea. 3 So, wen I come ova dea, you guys go pick da bestes guys fo carry dis money fo you guys give da church peopo Jerusalem side, an I goin write lettas fo tell da church leadas who dem. 4 An if you guys figga az good fo me go too, den we all go togedda.

Paul Make One Plan Fo Go All Ova

5 ✡Afta I go thru Macedonia, den I like go by you guys. But firs, I gotta go Macedonia. 6 Den maybe I can stay wit you guys short time, o even all winta. Den you guys can help me go da nex place from dea. 7 Right now, I figga no good ony pass by you guys cuz den I ony goin see you guys short time. Mo betta I go dea layta cuz den I stay shua I can hang out wit you guys long time if Da One In Charge let me. 8 ✡✡But I goin stay ova hea Efesus side till Pentecos time. 9 Cuz az jalike God wen open one door ova hea fo me do plenny, no matta get plenny peopo dat like go agains me.

10 ✡Timoty, wen he go dea by you guys, take kea him so he no need worry bout notting. He one worka guy fo Da One In Charge, jalike me. 11 So no let nobody make to him jalike he notting. Help um out befo he go. So stay good wit him, fo him come back by me. Me an da odda braddahs, we all stay wait fo him.

12 Anodda ting, oua braddah Apollos, I wen give him plenny good kine words fo him go by you guys wit da odda braddahs. But right now, he no like go. Bumbye wen can, he goin go.

One Ting Mo Fo Do

13 Eh! Watch out! Stay solid an trus God! No sked! Stay strong! 14 Eryting you guys do, do um wit love an aloha.

15 ✡Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, you all know Stefanas an his ohana guys, aah? Dey was da firs peopo dat wen trus Christ from all ova dea Akaia side by you guys. An dey wen go all out fo kokua all da peopo dat stay spesho fo God. 16 I like tell you guys fo lissen dat kine peopo an do wat dey tell you fo do. Dass erybody dat work hard togedda lidat. 17 I wen stay real good inside cuz Stefanas, an Fortunatus, an Akaicus wen come ova hea cuz dey wen do wat you guys no can do. 18 Dey wen make me come jalike new one mo time inside, an dey wen do da same ting fo you guys. Dat kine peopo, show um respeck.

Tell Erybody “Aloha!”

19 ✡Da peopo dat come togedda fo church all ova West Asia side, dey like tell you guys “Aloha!” Aquila an Priscilla, an all da odda peopo dat come togedda inside dea house, dey fo real kine like tell you guys “Aloha!” too cuz dey stay tight wit Da One In Charge. 20 All oua Christian braddahs an sistahs ova hea like tell you guys “Aloha!” An you guys, give each odda one hug an kiss cuz you da peopo dat stay spesho fo God.

“Marana Tha!” You know wat dat mean? “Eh, Boss! Come back!”

23 I like fo Da One In Charge, Jesus, do plenny good tings fo you guys. 24 I get love an aloha fo all you guys cuz us all stay tight wit da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, Jesus!

1 ✡Aloha! Dis one letta from me, Paul. God wen sen me all ova fo tell peopo da Good Stuff bout da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. Az Jesus! Braddah Timoty, he da one stay hea, an he tell da same ting.

I stay write dis fo all da peopo dat come togedda fo church an stay spesho fo God, inside Corint town an all ova Akaia side. 2 I like God oua Faddah an Jesus Christ Da One In Charge a us guys do plenny good tings fo you guys an make eryting work out fo you guys.

Paul Tell God “Mahalo Plenny”

3 We like erybody talk good bout God. He da God an Faddah fo Da One In Charge a us guys, az Jesus Christ. He da Faddah dat pity us an give us plenny chance, an he da God dat erytime give us good kine words. 4 He give us good kine words weneva we get hard time, an cuz a dat, us can give good kine words to da odda peopo dat get any kine hard time. We give dem good kine words jalike God wen give us. 5 Christ, God Spesho Guy, wen suffa plenny fo us guys. Cuz Christ wen do dat, his Faddah give us choke plenny good kine words wen we suffa. 6 Weneva me an Timoty get hard time, God give us good kine words. Same time, good you guys figga God goin give you good kine words too an bring you outa da bad kine stuff dat happen to you. Weneva you guys suffa jalike us, God give you guys good kine words too. Den you guys goin know you can handle da whole ting. 7 Az why we stay shua eryting goin work out okay fo you guys. We know dat wen you guys suffa jalike us, God goin kokua you guys jalike he kokua us.

8 ✡Oua braddahs an sistahs, we like you guys know da hard time we wen get ova hea West Asia side. Us had plenny presha, mo plenny presha den us can handle. Us even wen give up an figga we goin mahke. 9 We wen come bum out plenny, jalike how one crook feel wen da judge tell um he gotta mahke. But all dat wen happen fo us learn fo trus God an fo no trus us. God, he get da powa fo even make da peopo come alive one mo time dat wen mahke. 10 Wen we almos mahke, he wen take us outa da bad kine stuff dat wen happen to us guys. An he goin take us outa da bad kine stuff nex time too. We still stay shua he goin take us outa da bad kine stuff ova an ova. 11 If you guys stay pray fo us too, den dat goin help us guys cuz God goin do plenny stuffs fo us. He goin do dat cuz plenny peopo wen pray. Den plenny peopo goin tell God “Mahalo plenny” wen dey tink bout us guys.

Paul Change His Plan

12 Dis how come we talk big. Fo shua us guys know we do wat God like us fo do. Us do um jus cuz we like do um, fo erybody see dat God make us guys do wass fo real.

Us Da Helpa Guys
Fo Da New Deal From God

1 If you guys tink we start fo talk big bout us some moa, us not! You guys tink us need write lettas fo give you guys, o need lettas from you guys fo tell dat we good guys, o wat?! Da odda guys need um, not us! 2 We get one letta awready, an dass jalike you guys da letta! Erybody know awready wat wen happen wit you guys, jalike dey stay reading one letta. An us undastan wat wen happen wit you guys too. 3 ✡Fo real you guys stay jalike one letta dat Christ wen write, an dat he wen give to us guys fo bring ova hea. Christ neva use ink fo write um. He wen use da Good An Spesho Spirit from da God dat stay alive fo real kine. Christ neva write um on top one flat stone da way Da One In Charge wen write um fo Moses—da ting Christ wen write on top, dass someting dass alive. Dass jalike he write um inside da peopo hearts fo dem know um.

4 Us trus God fo real kine dat all dis stuff stay true, cuz Christ wen show us all dat. 5 We no mo da powa fo do notting. Da ony powa us guys get, come from God. 6 ✡God da One wen make us da kine worka guys dat tell peopo bout da New Deal From God. Dat New Deal From God, dat no mean us gotta stay tight wit some rules! Us gotta stay tight wit God Spirit! Dass da New Deal From God. If you ony stay tight wit da Rules, az jalike you stay mahke inside, an you no mo da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! But if you stay tight wit God Spirit, you goin live fo real kine!

7 ✡Da time God wen carve da Rules on top da flat stone, was real awesome. (But no matta you do wat dose Rules tell you fo do, still yet you goin get cut off from God.) Den, afta Moses get da Rules, his face shine real plenny. Was real awesome, az why da Israel peopo no can look at Moses. But den da shine go way. 8 Az why wat God Spirit do inside us guys stay plenny mo awesome den dat! 9 Da Rules from befo time ony punish us guys, but still yet da Rules stay awesome. But now us guys get um right wit God, an dat stay even mo awesome. 10 Da Rules dat erybody wen tink stay awesome, dey no stay awesome now, cuz get someting dat stay even mo awesome. 11 You know, da Rule kine stuff from befo time dat no las foeva, stay awesome. But dose tings dat stay foeva, dat kine stuff stay mo awesome still yet.

12 All us guys know fo shua dat da New Deal from God goin stay foeva. Az why we no shame fo talk fo real kine bout dis Deal. 13 ✡We no need ack jalike Moses. He wen cova up his face so da Israel peopo no see wen da shine disappea. 14 Da Israel peopo was hard head. Even now wen dey read inside da Bible bout da Deal from befo time dat God wen make, jalike dey get one cova ova dea head. Dat make um so dey no can undastan. Ony Christ can hemo dat cova fo make um lissen an undastan! 15 Even now, weneva da Jew guys read wat Moses wen write, dey lissen. But dey no undastan! Az cuz dey no lissen good, jalike dey get one cova dat jam up how dey tink. 16 ✡But weneva somebody start fo trus Da One In Charge, Christ help um fo undastan. Jalike da Bible tell bout Moses, “He take away da cova.” 17 Inside da Bible, wen Moses talk bout “Da One In Charge,” he mean God Spirit. Wen we get da Spirit from Da One In Charge, us can do plenny stuff. 18 Az how he change us fo us come mo an mo jalike one awesome copy a Jesus. An oua face no stay cova up now, fo us show how awesome Da One In Charge stay. Da Spirit from Da One In Charge help us fo do dat.

Rich Kine Stuff Inside Cheap Clay Bowls

(Start 1:3; Songs 116:10)

1 Az why, cuz God give us guys chance, we get dis job fo tell peopo bout his New Deal. So we no give up. 2 Dis wat we do: we tell erybody we no goin do da bad kine stuff some odda peopo do. Dey do um wen nobody see um do, an dey no shame. We no try bulai nobody. We no try teach fake kine stuff bout wat God tell. We teach da true stuff fo erybody see wat kine guys us, how God see us. 3 If da Good Stuff From God we stay teach stay cova up so peopo no can undastan um, dey da peopo dat goin come wipe out. 4 Satan, he jalike da god fo da peopo nowdays. He make some peopo fo dem no undastan. Az da peopo dat no trus Da One In Charge fo real kine. Dass jalike dey no can see da light. Dey no can undastan da Good Stuff bout how awesome Christ stay, da One dass same same jalike God. Jesus jalike one picha fo show how God stay. 5 Us guys no talk plenny bout ony us. We talk plenny bout Jesus Christ, Da One In Charge. We ony tell us come fo kokua you guys cuz us Jesus guys. 6 ✡God wen tell, “From da dark place, I like da light fo shine,” an he make his light shine inside us guys! Wen we look at Christ face, az jalike God give us da light fo undastan how awesome God stay.

7 Us guys get plenny rich kine stuff from God inside us, no matta us jus regula kine peopo. Dass fo show dat da fo real powa come from God, an az not from us guys. Dass jalike wen somebody get rich kine stuff inside cheap kine dishes. 8 Us get plenny presha from all ova, but us guys still can handle. We no undastan eryting, but we no give up. 9 Get guys dat make us suffa plenny, but God no bag from us. Dey bus us up, but dey no can wipe us out. 10 Da way us guys suffa an get bus up ery place us guys go, show how plenny Jesus wen suffa wen he mahke. So wen us guys suffa, dat show dat Jesus still stay alive now. 11 Ery day, us guys dat stay alive, we almos mahke cuz us guys Jesus guys. An dis way erybody see dat Jesus give us da real kine life, an us guys show um in oua bodies no matta oua bodies goin mahke bumbye. 12 So den, us guys no sked fo talk fo Christ, no matta we mahke cuz a dat fo you guys stay live fo real kine.

13 ✡Inside da Bible, get somebody dat tell, “Cuz I wen trus God, dass why I wen talk.” Us guys tell da same ting: Cuz we trus God, az why we talk. 14 Us guys know dis: da God dat wen make Jesus, Da One In Charge, come back alive from mahke, he da One goin make us guys come back alive too cuz we stay tight wit Jesus. God goin put us guys an you guys dea in front him wea he stay. 15 God do all dis stuff fo you guys do plenny good kine stuff fo mo an mo peopo. An dey goin tell him “Mahalo plenny,” an tell how awesome he stay.

We Trus God Erytime

16 Dass why us guys still can handle an no come bum out. No matta oua bodies come mo an mo junk outside, inside God make us mo an mo strong ery day. 17 We get plenny big time trouble now, but you know wat? Wen we tink bout how awesome us goin come to da max foeva, den we know all dat trouble ony manini kine! 18 Az why we no look da kine trouble you can see. We look an tink bout da kine stuff you no can see. Da stuff you can see, ony goin stay short time. But da stuff you no can see, dat kine goin stay foeva.

1 Eh, us guys know dat oua body, da one us stay inside now on top da earth, az jalike one tent dat ony goin stay up short time. No matta oua body goin come wipe out, us no need worry. Cuz God get one good place fo us stay inside da sky. Peopo neva make dat place. God wen make um an dat place stay foeva! 2 So us tink plenny bout how oua place inside da sky goin be. Goin feel good ova dea, jalike wen we put on new clotheses. 3 Wen us guys get dea, dass jalike us no goin stay naked. Cuz den, us goin come new kine, jalike wit da new kine clotheses. 4 Us stay ova hea inside dis world, an us moan an come bum out, cuz us get hard time. Us guys no like be naked, but us like put on new kine clotheses—not importan get rid a da boros kine. Not importan us goin mahke. Main ting, us guys goin come alive fo real kine! 5 God, he da One wen make us ready fo all dis. He wen give us his Spirit fo show proof dat all dis goin happen.

6 An dat make us feel real good inside an no need worry no moa. No matta we know dat all da time we stay alive inside dis body, we no stay in da sky wit Da One In Charge. 7 Da way we live, we trus God erytime, no matta no can see him. 8 Us guys feel real good inside bout dis. Dass why we figga, mo betta leave dis body hea, an go live up dea wit Da One In Charge. 9 Dass why dis da mos importan ting fo us guys: fo do wat God like, no matta we stay ova hea, o we go ova dea wit God. 10 ✡You know, erybody gotta go in front Christ da Judge, an us no can hide notting. Dat time us goin get back wat we wen do, wen we wen stay inside dis world. An no matta us wen do da good kine stuff o da no good kine stuff.

We Come Frenz Wit God Cuz A Christ

11 Us get choke respeck fo God. Dass why we try fo help da peopo get da same kine respeck fo him. God know how we stay inside. I like you guys know how we stay inside too. 12 We no try fo make you guys tink us look good one mo time. No need! We tell you guys all dis so you can talk good stuff bout us an no mo shame. We like you guys know wat fo tell dem guys dat talk good ony bout da kine tings dey can see. But dey no talk notting bout wat dey stay tinking inside! 13 Maybe somebody tink dat we stay talk lolo kine. Bodda you, o wat? We do um fo God, an God know we not lolo! An wen we talk fo real kine, we do um fo help you guys. 14 Christ wen get choke love an aloha fo erybody. Dass why us guys like do wat we gotta do. Us know fo shua dat he da One wen mahke fo all da peopo. An cuz a dat, jalike erybody wen stay mahke die dead! 15 Christ wen mahke fo erybody. Az how come da peopo dat stay alive fo real kine no do stuffs fo ony dem no moa. Dey do eryting ony fo Christ, da Guy dat wen mahke fo dem an wen come back alive.

16 Az why from now, us no figga bout nobody da same way odda peopo figga. No matta befo time we wen figga bout Christ da same way odda peopo figga. Now, we no figga bout Christ dat way no moa. 17 Dass why, whoeva stay tight wit Christ, dey one new guy. Da ol tings no stay no moa! Look! Da new tings stay come! 18 All dat stuff come from God. He wen make us guys come pono wit him cuz a wat Christ wen do. An he wen tell us fo help da odda peopo come pono wit him too. 19 Wen Christ wen stay inside dis world, God wen use him fo help da peopo inside da world come pono wit God. Az why he no make dem get da blame fo da way dey wen jam up. An he wen tell us guys all dat fo us kokua all da odda peopo fo dem come pono wit him. 20 Us guys da guys dat talk fo Christ. We tell all da peopo dat God stay beg um fo come back. Cuz us Christ guys, we stay beg you guys, “Eh, come pono wit God.” 21 Christ, he neva do notting bad, but God wen make him take inside him all da bad kine stuff us guys wen do. God wen do dat fo us guys come pono, jalike God stay pono. Dass wat Christ wen do.

Firs ting, dey tell Da One In Charge fo take ova dem. Den dey tell, “We like go fo broke fo do wat you guys like us do.

Paul Talk Bout Wat He Do Fo God

(Jeremiah 9:24)

1 Dis yoa braddah Paul stay talking. You guys tink I shame fo talk strait wen I stay wit you guys? But I no shame fo talk strait wen I stay one far place. Eh, I stay tell you guys fo lissen me, cuz Christ get one good heart fo you guys, an he give you guys chance. 2 Get guys ova dea dat tell dat us guys ack jalike oua body tell us fo ack. So wen I come ova dea, I tink I gotta tell um strait to dose guys. I tell you guys fo try lissen wat I stay tell now, so den wen I come ova dea, I no need tell um strait to dose guys. 3 Wen odda peopo like beef wit us, we no beef jalike da peopo inside da world dat donno God, no matta we live inside da world too. 4 We no use da same kine tings fo fight, jalike da peopo inside dis world use fo fight one war. Wen we beef wit da hard head kine peopo dat try fo make argue, we get powa from God fo broke down da hard head way dey tink an undastan stuff. 5 Eryting dey put up high fo stan agains anybody dat like know God, us goin teach dem guys fo tink an undastan diffren kine. Dass jalike us capcha wat dey tink fo make um come da way Christ like us fo tink an undastan stuff. 6 Afta you guys start fo do eryting Christ tell you fo do, us goin stay ready fo punish wateva still yet go agains wat Christ tell us fo do.

7 You guys ony figga how tings stay by how dey look. If one guy shua he one Christ Guy, he gotta tink lidis, dat us guys Christ guys too, jalike him. 8 I no shame fo talk big to erybody dat Da One In Charge wen give us guys da right fo make you guys come strong inside, an no wipe out you guys. 9 I no like make you guys come sked wen I write my lettas to you. 10 Some guys tell, “Da lettas from dis Paul guy, dey hard fo handle an dey get plenny powa fo change stuff. But wen he stay ova hea, he notting, an wat he tell, good fo notting.” 11 Dese guys gotta figga lidis: Da lettas we write wen us no stay dea, an how we ack wen we stay dea, same same.

12 Get peopo dat tell erybody dat dey get um. But us guys no goin tell us jalike dem, o tell us same same jalike dem. Dose guys, dey ony look at odda guys jalike dem, an dey tink dey stay get um jalike dem. Wen dey ack lidat, dey no undastan notting. 13 We no goin talk big bout someting we neva do. We ony goin talk big bout da job God wen give us fo do. Wat we wen do fo you guys, God wen tell us fo do dat. 14 We talk fo real wen we talk good bout you guys. Cuz us da firs guys wen come an tell you guys da Good Stuff Bout Christ, an you guys wen lissen. Az why us guys get da right fo teach you guys. So az not right fo tell dat odda guys wen bring da Good Stuff Bout Christ. 15 We no talk good bout da stuff odda peopo wen do wen we neva do um. You guys stay trus God mo an mo now, an we stay wait an trus dat us goin help you guys mo an moa, jalike God wen tell us fo do. 16 Cuz a dis, us can tell da Good Stuff From Christ inside da places da odda side a you guys wea nobody tell da Good Stuff From Christ. No good we talk big bout wat odda guys wen do wen us guys neva do um. Da stuff dey wen do, dass dea kuleana. 17 ✡You know, da Bible tell, “Da guy dat talk big, let um talk big bout Da One In Charge.” 18 You talk big bout ony you, dat no goin make Da One In Charge tell, “Dis guy get um.” So den, who get um? Da guy Da One In Charge talk good bout, he da one get um!

You guys wen let da Good An Spesho Spirit take ova you befo time. So how come you guys let one diffren kine spirit take ova you now? You wen trus da Good Stuff From Christ befo time, so how come you guys trus one diffren kine teaching now? 5 I no tink me less importan den dem odda guys dat tell God wen sen um, da ones dat get big head.

But erytime I neva bodda you guys notting, an I no goin bodda you guys eva. 10 Wat Christ tell stay true, an I know fo shua wat I tell stay true too, cuz I stay tight wit Christ.

Dey trick da peopo. Dey try look jalike guys dat talk fo Christ, jalike dey his guys, but dey all fake. 14 But az not one big deal. Cuz Satan, he go try ack jalike he one good angel messenja guy fo God. 15 Az why no throw us off if Satan worka guys try ack jalike dey stay work fo da good an right stuff too. Bumbye God goin pay dem back fo da bad kine stuff dey stay do.

Fo shua you guys lissen wen da lolo peopo talk, even if soun jalike I talk big small kine. 17 Wat I stay tell you guys now, goin soun lolo, but Da One In Charge neva tell me fo tell dat. 18 Get plenny guys stay talk big jalike da peopo inside da world talk big, so me, I goin talk big jalike dem. 19 Ho!

Dem guys come from Abraham? Yeah, aah, me too. 23 ✡You tink dem guys work fo Christ? No ways! Stupid, I talk lidis! Cuz me, I work way mo hard den dem. I wen stay inside jail mo plenny. Da odda guys wen whip me mo hard. An plenny times me, I almos wen mahke. 24 ✡Eh, five time da Jew guys wen whip me thirty-nine time. 25 ✡Three time dey wen beat me wit one hard stick. One time dey wen throw big kine stones fo try kill me. Three time I wen stay inside one bus up boat, an one nite an one day I wen stay inside da deep ocean. 26 ✡Erytime I go all ova da place.

Erytime us guys tell erybody dat God stay good foeva. 32 ✡You know, wen I wen stay inside Damascus, da govna unda King Aretas, he wen put police guys all ova da place fo bus me. 33 I wen go inside one big basket, an my frenz wen put me down wit one rope from one window inside da big town wall, fo go outside town. An I wen run away from da govna. Dat time, I no can handle fo shua!

1 I still gotta talk big, even if poho fo talk lidat. I gotta tell bout da stuff I wen see dass jalike one dream, an wat Da One In Charge wen show me. 2 I know one guy dat stay tight wit Christ. Fourteen year ago somebody wen bring him up inside da mos high part a da sky.

He wen hear stuff dass too awesome fo talk bout, stuff dat nobody know how fo talk bout. 5 I goin talk big bout one guy jalike him, but I no goin talk big bout me. Ony da kine stuff I no can handle, I goin talk big bout dat. 6 Even wen I like talk big, dass not stupid, you know, cuz I ony tell da trut. But I no goin talk big fo somebody tink I mo betta den how peopo see me ack, o hear wat I tell, 7 o hear all da awesome stuff God wen show me. But fo me no get one big head, I get one ting dat stay jalike one messenja from Satan. Hurt jalike one sharp thorn inside my body. Dat ting make me suffa plenny. 8 Three time awready I wen beg Da One In Charge fo take dis ting away from me. 9 But he tell me, “I do plenny good tings fo you, an dass all you need. My powa mo strong inside you wen you no can handle trouble wit da powa you get.” Az why I goin talk big even moa, cuz get plenny stuff I no can handle. Dass how Christ powa goin stay wit me. 10 So den, no bodda me. I still stay good inside, wen I no can handle, wen peopo try make me come shame, wen I get hard time, wen peopo make me suffa, an wen I get plenny presha. All dis stuff happen cuz me, I one Christ Guy. Wen I no can handle, den I get da powa fo handle cuz a him!

If I get plenny love an aloha fo you guys, you tink dat mean you goin get ony litto bit love an aloha fo me, o wat? 16 But you guys know dis: I neva bodda you guys notting. But den you guys wen tink, I one sly buggah, an wen bulai you guys! 17 You tink I wen sen odda guys fo rip you guys off, o wat? 18 I wen tell Titus fo go by you guys, an I wen sen da odda braddah wit him. An den, you tink Titus wen rip you guys off? No ways! Me an Titus, us guys do da same kine tings cuz we tink da same way, you know.

Dem guys make jalike dey God peopo fo dem find out how us guys ack now. Dey hear dat Jesus Christ let us guys go cuz we stay tight wit him. Az why us no gotta do wat da Jew Rules tell us fo do fo us get um right wit God. Dem guys like make sly kine fo find out bout us guys, cuz dey like us fo stick wit da Rules jalike befo time. 5 But we neva let dem change da way us tink, not even litto bit cuz we like da Good An True Stuff Bout Christ stay good fo you guys.

6 ✡But da guys dat look jalike dey da importan leadas, dat no bodda me, cuz God no mo favoratism bout how peopo look. No mo notting dem guys wen add fo make wat I teach mo betta. 7 But dem guys find out dat God trus me fo tell da Good Stuff Bout Him to da peopos dass not Jews, jalike how Peter tell um to da Jew peopo. 8 Jalike God give Peter da job fo sen him out fo tell da Jews da Good Stuff, he give me da job fo sen me out by da peopo dass not Jew guys. 9 James, Peter, an John, dey da importan leadas fo da church peopo. Wen dey figga dat God do plenny good stuff fo me, dey shake hands wit me an Barnabas fo show dat all us guys stick togedda. An we all tell da same ting: dey goin go by da Jews, an we goin go by da peopo dass not Jew guys. 10 Get ony one ting dey like us fo do: no foget fo kokua da pooa peopo. You know I awready go all out fo do dat.

Paul Scold Peter

11 But wen Peter come Antiok side, I wen stan up agains him cuz he do someting wrong. 12 Cuz befo da guys come ova dea dat work wit James, Peter eat wit da braddahs dass not Jew guys. But afta James guys come, Peter go back an no eat wit da guys dass not Jew guys. He do dis cuz he sked a da guys dat tell dat all Jesus guys gotta stick wit da Jew Rules, cut skin, an come Jews. 13 An da odda Jew braddahs make jalike Peter, cuz dey tell one ting an do anodda. Dey tell dat Christ free um up, but den dey start fo stick wit da Jew Rules one mo time. An even Barnabas get suck in, an do da same ting jalike dem. 14 But wen I see dat dem guys ack lidat, an no do wat da Good An True Stuff From God tell um fo do, I tell Peter in front all dem guys, “You one Jew. God tell us we no gotta stick wit da Jew Rules no mo fo get um right wit him. So you no live jalike one Jew no moa, but you live jalike one guy dass not one Jew. How come you like make da peopo dass not Jew guys live jalike dey Jews?”

Da Jews An Da Odda Peopos
All Gotta Trus Jesus

15 Us guys was born Jews. We not like da odda peopos dat donno God an do bad kine stuff. 16 ✡We know dat nobody can get um right wit God jus cuz dey do wat da Rules tell um fo do. Dey get um right wit God cuz dey trus God Spesho Guy Jesus Christ. Us guys trus Jesus Christ. Az why God tell we get um right wit him. We no go do wat da Rules tell us fo do fo us get um right wit God cuz da Rules no make nobody get um right wit God.

17 Us guys stay try fo stay tight wit Christ fo get um right wit God. But if we still yet stay do bad kine stuff, you tink dat mean Christ stay make us do bad kine stuff? No ways! 18 Cuz if I go trus da Rules fo make me get um right wit God, afta I teach dat da Rules no can make us get um right wit him, dat show dat I stay broke da Rules. 19 I wen try fo do wat da Rules tell me fo do, but no can cuz da Rules no mo powa fo help me do um. Dass how come I no stick wit da Rules no mo fo me get um right wit God. Now I stay learn fo live fo God. 20 Jalike I wen mahke wen Christ mahke on top one cross. Now, I no stay alive no moa, but Christ stay alive inside me. I get da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva inside my body now cuz I stay trus God Boy. He get plenny love an aloha fo me, an he wen give up his body wen he wen mahke fo me. 21 I no goin tell all da good tings God wen do fo us guys good fo notting. If us ony get um right wit God cuz we do wat da Rules tell us guys fo do, den poho Christ wen mahke fo us.

Do Wat Da Rules Tell,
O Trus God?

(Start 15:6; 12:3; Rules Secon Time 27:26; 21:23; Habakkuk 2:4; Prieses 18:5)

1 You guys from Galatia, all jam up, da way you tink! Who wen put kahuna on top you guys?! From befo time you guys wen hear bout how odda guys kill Jesus Christ on top da cross fo mahke fo us, jalike us make one picha fo you see real good. 2 I like you guys tell me one ting: How you guys wen get God Spirit? Was cuz you guys do wat da Rules tell you fo do?! O was cuz you guys wen trus da Good Stuff From God dat you guys wen hear? Fo shua, was cuz you guys trus da Good Stuff From God! 3 You guys stupid, o wat? You guys wen start fo trus God Spirit. But how come you guys stay trying fo do eryting ony wit da powa you guys get? 4 You tink all da stuff you guys wen suffa was fo notting, o wat?! O was good fo someting? 5 God stay give you guys his Spirit, an he do awesome stuff fo you guys wit his powa. You tink he do um cuz you guys do wat da Rules tell you fo do, o cuz you guys trus da stuff you guys wen hear? 6 ✡Abraham wen trus God, an dass how God make Abraham get um right wit him.

7 ✡So den, you guys gotta undastan dis: Da peopo dat trus God, dey jalike Abraham kids. 8 ✡God wen show befo time inside da Bible dat he goin make all da diffren peopos get um right wit him cuz dey trus God. Az why God tell Abraham da Good Stuff From God way befo time. He tell: “Cuz a you, I goin do plenny good stuffs fo all da diffren peopos all ova da world.” 9 So den, God goin do plenny good stuffs fo da peopo dat trus him, jalike he wen do fo Abraham, da guy dat wen trus him.

10 ✡Whoeva try fo do eryting da Rules tell um fo do fo get um right wit God, dey get one kahuna on top dem. Cuz da Bible tell, “Erybody dat no stay do eryting da Rules From God tell us fo do, dey get one kahuna on top dem.” 11 ✡Fo real kine, no mo nobody do eryting da Rules tell dey gotta do. Dass why nobody get um right wit God da way God see um. God tell long time befo time inside da Bible, “Da guy dat get um right wit me cuz he trus me, he da one goin live fo real kine.” 12 ✡You know, if you ony do wat da Rules tell you fo do, dat no mean you stay trus God. God tell inside da Bible, “Whoeva do eryting da Rules tell dey gotta do, dey goin live fo real kine cuz dey stay do um.” But us guys, we no mo da powa fo do eryting da Rules tell us fo do.

13 ✡Christ, he wen pay da price fo cut us guys loose, so we no gotta do eryting da Rules tell us fo do fo get um right wit God. Dass why now, we no mo kahuna on top us. Da kahuna we get wen go on top Christ, cuz da Bible tell, “Erybody dat dey kill an hang on top one pos fo kill um, dey get kahuna on top dem.” 14 Christ wen mahke fo pay da price fo all da diffren peopos all ova da world az not Jew guys. Az how dey goin get da good stuff God wen promise Abraham. An all us guys dat stay tight wit Jesus goin get God Spirit. Dass da promise God wen make fo all us guys.

Da Rules An Wat God Wen Promise

(Start 12:7; 13:15; 17:7; 24:7)

15 Eh, braddahs, I goin talk bout someting dat erybody can undastan. If one guy make one will an sign um in front odda peopo, nobody can change um o make um come no good. 16 Az how God wen promise da good stuffs to Abraham an his boy. He neva tell, “an fo yoa boys,” cuz he not talking bout plenny peopo. He ony tell, “an fo yoa boy,” cuz he ony talking bout one guy, Christ. 17 ✡Dis wat I mean. God make da deal wit Abraham long time befo time bout Christ. Den, four hundred thirty year afta dat, God give Moses da Rules. But da Rules no mo da powa fo make wat God wen promise come no good. 18 ✡If God kids gotta do wat da Rules From God tell um fo do, fo get wat God wen promise fo give dem, dass not one gif! Cuz nobody work fo one gif. But God wen give Abraham wat he wen promise fo give um. Dass one gif fo real kine!

19 How come get da Rules, den? God wen give um cuz erybody do bad kine stuff. Wen God Boy come, da One da promise talk bout, den no need da Rules no mo fo get um right wit God. Had angel messenja guys wen give Moses da Rules, an den Moses give um to da peopo. Az how Moses stay in da middo fo talk to God an to da peopo too. 20 Dass good dat get one guy in da middo fo talk to God an to da Israel peopo. But fo Abraham, no need somebody in da middo cuz God talk strait to Abraham.

Da Rules Teach Us
Bout Da Bad Kine Stuff

21 You tink da Rules From God jam up all dat God wen promise? No way! If had rules dat get da powa fo make peopo live foeva, den God wen make peopo get um right wit him cuz a da rules. But neva had dat kine rules. 22 Da Bible tell dat erybody stay do bad kine stuff an dass jalike dey stay lock up in prison cuz a dat. An dass how come da Bible tell dat dey lock up fo show dat peopo gotta trus Jesus Christ, fo get da kine life God wen promise.

23 But befo da time fo trus Christ wen come, we gotta do wat da Rules tell us fo do, no matta we no mo powa fo do um. Dass how was till da time come wen God show us how fo trus him. 24 Da Rules jalike one watcha guy ova kids fo keep um strait. Dass how da Rules bring us to Christ fo us trus him an get um right wit God. 25 But now we can trus Christ, az why us no need one watcha guy ova us no moa.

26 All you guys God kids cuz you trus Jesus, God Spesho Guy. 27 All you guys dat get baptize fo stay tight wit Christ an come his guys, now you goin come jalike him. 28 Now, no matta Jew o not one Jew, slave o not one slave, guy o wahine, you guys all same same cuz you stay tight wit Christ. 29 ✡You guys Christ guys, so den you guys Abraham kids. An you guys goin get yoa share, jalike God wen promise all his kids.

4

1 Dis wat I mean. If one faddah give his boy eryting da faddah wen promise fo give his boy wen da faddah mahke, da boy no can get um right den an dea if he still yet one small kid. Jalike da slave guy no own his boss stuffs, da kid still yet no own his faddah stuffs, no matta he goin get um bumbye. 2 Da boy get peopo ova him his faddah wen pick fo take kea him an his stuffs. He gotta do wat dey tell um fo do till da time come dat his faddah wen pick fo da boy take ova his faddah stuffs. 3 Same ting wit us guys. Befo Jesus Christ come, us jalike small kids. We gotta do wat da spirits dat stay in charge a da world tell us fo do. 4 But wen da right time come, God sen his Boy. One wahine born him, an he gotta do wat da Rules tell um fo do. 5 ✡Befo time, us gotta do eryting da Rules tell us fo do fo get um right wit God. But God wen sen his Boy Christ fo him mahke fo pay da price fo let us go. Dass why we no gotta stick wit da Rules. An dass why God can make us jalike his hanai kids.

6 So den, cuz you guys his kids, God put da Spirit from his Boy inside us guys, fo now us tell God, “Daddy, you my Faddah!” 7 Dass why you guys no stay jalike slaves no mo dat gotta do wat da Rules tell you fo do. Now you guys God kids! An God goin give you guys eryting he goin give his kids.

Paul Tink Plenny Bout
His Galatia Braddahs An Sistahs

8 Befo time you guys neva know God. Dat time you guys gotta do eryting da odda spirits tell you fo do, no matta dey not real kine gods. 9 But now, you guys know God. Mo betta, God know you guys. So how come you guys go back an like stay tight wit da spirits dat stay junk an not strong? Dey like make you guys jalike dea slaves one mo time. 10 How come you guys stay trying fo do eryting dey tell you fo do fo da spesho religious kine days, an weeks, an months, an years? 11 I stay sked fo you guys, cuz I wen work hard fo you guys fo notting. Poho! Wase time all dis!

12 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, I beg you guys fo come jalike me, an no stick wit da Rules fo try get um right wit God. I like fo you guys come jalike me cuz I wen come jalike you guys. Da time I was wit you guys, you guys neva do notting fo hurt me. 13 You guys know I was real sick. Dass why I wen get chance fo tell you guys da Good Stuff From God da firs time. 14 No matta my sick give you guys hard time, you guys neva hate me o throw me out. But you guys take me in jalike I one angel guy from God, o jalike I was Jesus, God Spesho Guy. 15 Wat wen happen you guys? Dat time you guys wen stay real good inside bout me. I like tell erybody dat you guys wen even like pull out yoa eyes fo give um to me if can. 16 You guys tink I hate you cuz I tell you guys da trut, o wat?

17 But dem buggahs, da ones dey go all out fo make nice nice to you guys, dey like cut you guys off from us, fo you guys go all out fo dem. But dass not good. 18 Fo shua, az good if dey go all out erytime fo do good kine stuff, no matta I stay wit you guys o I no stay wit you guys. 19 You guys jalike my kids. Jalike wen one wahine born one bebe, I suffa fo you guys one mo time till you guys come mo an mo tight wit Christ. 20 I like come ova dea wit you guys right now an talk mo nice kine to you. But right now, I not shua bout you guys.

Da Hagar An Sarah Story

(Start 16:1-16; 21:1-21; Isaiah 54:1)

21 Eh, you guys dat like stick wit da Rules fo get um right wit God, how come you guys no lissen wat da Rules tell? 22 ✡Da Bible tell dat Abraham get two boys, one boy from da slave wahine Hagar an da odda boy from his wife Sarah dat not one slave. 23 Da boy from da slave wahine Hagar, he born cuz Abraham like get one boy. But da boy from Abraham wife Sarah dass one not one slave. He born cuz God make one promise fo born um.

24 Da two wahines jalike one picha. Dey show da two diffren kine deals dat God wen make wit his peopo. Hagar, da slave wahine, she born one slave boy. Hagar, she jalike one picha fo show da deal God wen make wit Moses on top Mount Sinai, wen God give Moses da Rules ova dea befo time. 25 Da wahine Hagar, she jalike Mount Sinai, Arabia side, da Rules place. Dass jalike Jerusalem stay nowdays cuz da Jerusalem peopo all jalike slaves. Jalike slaves gotta do wat somebody tell um fo do, da Jerusalem peopo gotta do wat da Rules tell um fo do. 26 But get anodda Jerusalem inside da sky, dat come from God fo da peopo dass not slaves. Az jalike oua muddah Sarah, dass not one slave. 27 ✡You know, da Bible tell,

“You, da one wahine dat no mo kids,

Yell cuz you stay good inside.

You neva feel sore from born one bebe.

She can bus out an make big noise.

Cuz da wahine dat no mo kids,

Bumbye she goin get mo plenny kids

Den da wahine dat live regula kine wit her husban.”

28 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, you guys all God kids too. Az jalike Isaac, Sarah boy, cuz God wen make one promise fo Abraham dat he goin get da boy Isaac an plenny mo kids too. 29 ✡Befo dat happen, da boy Ishmael born cuz da faddah Abraham like get one boy. Ishmael make any kine to da boy Isaac dat born afta cuz God Spirit like fo Sarah born him fo Abraham. An dass how stay today. 30 ✡Wat da Bible tell bout dis? “Throw out da slave wahine an her boy cuz her boy no goin get da good stuff da faddah wen promise fo give da boy from his wife dass not one slave.” 31 So den, my braddahs an sistahs, us not da slave wahine kids. Us da kids from da wife dass not one slave. Az why us no gotta stick wit da Rules fo get um right wit God.

Christ Let Us Go

1 Christ let us go fo us no gotta do wat da Rules tell fo get um right wit God. Cuz a dat, hang in dea an stay strong. No let dem buggahs pile up all kine rules on top you guys one mo time.

2 Lissen up! Dis me Paul. I stay talking to you guys. If you guys let dem cut yoa skin on yoa private part fo make you guys come Jews, cuz dey tell you guys dat you goin get um right wit God cuz you do dat, den Christ no goin help you guys, notting. 3 Now I goin tell erybody one mo time: Whoeva cut skin fo dem get um right wit God, dey gotta do eryting da Rules tell fo come good. 4 You guys dat like do wat da Rules tell fo get um right wit God, you guys wen split up from Christ. An cuz you do dat, you no goin get all da good stuff he like do fo you guys. 5 Us guys not like you guys. We trus God. Dass why we wait fo him make us get um right wit him cuz we know dat God Spirit goin help us. 6 Wen us stay tight wit Jesus Christ, no matta us cut skin o no cut skin, main ting, we gotta trus God, an show plenny love an aloha fo God an odda peopo.

7 Befo time, you guys stay do real good. Who wen throw you guys off fo you no lissen da trut? 8 Da kine stuff you guys lissen now, dat no come from Da One In Charge cuz he wen tell you guys fo come by him an come his guys. 9 ✡Da kine stuff da odda ones teach, dat start small an den come big an jam up you guys, jalike litto bit yeast inside da bread dough make da whole bread come big. 10 Cuz I trus Da One In Charge, I stay shua dat you guys no goin tink anodda way. But da buggahs dat stay bodda you guys, God goin punish dem, no matta who dem.

11 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, wat if I teach dat us gotta cut skin? Dat no goin bodda nobody cuz den Jesus neva need mahke on top da cross. So if I wen teach lidat, how come dem buggahs make me suffa? Az cuz I stay teach dat Jesus wen mahke fo peopo fo get um right wit God. An dat bodda dem buggahs. 12 Dem buggahs dat stay bodda you guys fo cut skin, I like fo dem go all da way fo cut off dea own botos too!

13 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, God let you guys go, but dat no mean you get da right fo make any kine how you like. Mo betta, kokua each odda cuz you guys get plenny love an aloha fo each odda. 14 ✡Da Bible tell, “Get love an aloha fo da odda guy, jalike you get love an aloha fo you.” If you guys do dat, den you goin do eryting da Rules From God tell you fo do. 15 But if you guys go beef each odda, an eat up each odda jalike wild animals, den watch out, cuz you guys goin make each odda come wipe out.

Wat Da Spirit Do
An Wat Da Body Do

16 But I like tell you guys dis: Stay tight wit God Spirit, an you guys no goin do da bad kine stuff yoa body tell you fo do. 17 ✡Cuz God Spirit tell “Laytas” to da kine stuff yoa body tell you fo do, an da body tell “Laytas” to da kine stuff God Spirit like you fo do. Dey stay agains each odda. Az why you guys no can do da kine stuff you like fo do. 18 So if you guys lissen God Spirit, den you guys no gotta do wat da Rules tell you fo do fo get um right wit God. 19 Erybody know dat peopo do bad kine stuff dea body tell um fo do. Dey like do um cuz dass how dey stay. Dey like fool aroun wit somebody, even anodda guy wife o husban. Dey do any kine pilau stuff dea body tell um fo do an no shame. 20 Dey go down an pray in front da idol kine gods. Dey put kahuna on top odda peopo. Dey hate odda peopo. Dey make argue. Dey no like if da odda guy mo importan den dem. Dey get huhu. Dey ony tink bout wass good fo dem. Dey erytime tink diffren an like split up oua braddahs an sistahs. 21 Dey like get da odda guy stuffs. Dey erytime party up an get piloot, an do all dat pilau kine stuff. I stay tell you guys, jalike I wen tell you befo time, da peopo dat make lidat, dey no goin get God fo be dea King.

22 But if us stay tight wit God Spirit, he give us plenny love an aloha fo erybody. He make us stay real good inside. He help us so notting bodda us. He help us guys hang in dea wit odda peopo long time. He help us tink good bout eryting, an like do good kine stuff fo peopo. He help us fo do wat we promise fo do. 23 He help us make nice to peopo an do um wit one good heart. He help us fo hold back wen we gotta hold back. No mo rules dat tell you dat you no can do all dat kine stuff I wen jus tell you. 24 Erybody dat stay Jesus Christ guys, dey no goin do all kine bad kine stuff dea body tell um fo do cuz dass how dey stay. Jalike dey wen put all dat kine stuff on top da cross wit Jesus Christ. Den dat stuff no goin get powa ova dem no moa. 25 If we stay tight wit God Spirit, den we erytime gotta let him stay in charge a us. 26 No get big head. No try make da odda guy like beef. No try be mo betta den da odda guy.

6

1 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, you guys dat stay tight wit God Spirit, if you see somebody stay do bad kine stuff, go help bring um back! Make nice to dem, an do um wit one good heart. Tink bout you too, an watch out, so you no goin get presha fo do da same kine bad kine stuff. 2 Help da odda guy wen you know dat he need help. If you do dat, you goin do eryting Christ rules tell you fo do. 3 If one guy tink he big wen he not big, dat guy, he ony bulai him. 4 Erybody gotta tink real good bout how dey ack an wat dey do fo see if wat dey do stay pono. Den dey can feel good cuz az wat ony dey do. No good dey look how dey do stuff by how odda guys do stuff. 5 Cuz erybody gotta make shua dey pono, no matta odda peopo not pono.

6 But whoeva teach wat God tell, da guy he teach suppose to kokua his teacha from da good stuffs da guy get.

7 No bulai yoaself. Nobody no can make fun a God. Jalike da farma get back da same kine crop he wen plant, erybody goin get back da same kine ting dey wen do. 8 Cuz whoeva stay do da bad kine stuff dey like do, dey goin come wipe out cuz a da bad kine stuff dey do. But whoeva stay do wat God Spirit like um fo do, God Spirit goin give dem da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! 9 We gotta hang in dea, an no get wore out fo do good kine stuff. Cuz bumbye us goin get wat us work fo, if we no give up. 10 So den, erytime us get chance, we gotta do da good kine stuff fo erybody, an even mo fo da peopo dat trus God cuz dey jalike oua ohana.

Da Las Ting Fo Tell Da Galatia Peopo

11 Look how big I write dis wit my hand! 12 Dem buggahs dat like look good on da outside, dey try fo make you guys cut skin fo come Jews. Dey ony make lidat cuz dey no like suffa fo Christ, da One wen mahke on top da cross. 13 Dem buggahs dat stick wit da cut skin mark, dey no even do wat da Rules tell um fo do. But dey like you guys cut skin fo dem talk big bout you guys, dat dey wen cut skin fo you guys. 14 But me, I ony goin talk big bout how Da One In Charge, Jesus Christ, wen mahke on top da cross. No way I eva goin talk big bout odda stuff cuz Christ wen mahke on top da cross. Az why fo me, jalike all da bad kine tings inside da world stay mahke awready, an dey no mo powa ova me. I no goin like do um, cuz jalike I stay mahke die dead fo dem tings. 15 No matta get cut skin mark, o no get um, main ting, God make da peopo come new inside. 16 Erybody dat stay tight wit dis new kine way, I like God make dem stay so notting bodda dem, an give dem chance cuz dey all God peopo, da real Israel peopo.

17 So now, no let nobody make trouble to me cuz I get scars on top my body jalike Jesus Christ get cuz I his guy.

18 My braddahs an sistahs, I like Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ, do plenny good tings inside you guys. Dass it!

We like dem do plenny good kine stuff fo you guys, an make you so notting bodda you.

Paul Pray Fo Da Philippi Peopo

3 Erytime I tink bout you guys, I tell my God, “Mahalo plenny fo da Philippi peopo!” 4 An erytime I pray fo all you guys, I feel good inside. 5 Cuz from da start, you guys stay work togedda wit us guys fo tell peopo all da Good Kine Stuff From God, an you guys still stay do um. 6 Dis fo shua: God, he wen start fo do someting real good inside you guys. An garans he goin do um! An he goin stay do um till Jesus Christ come back!

7 Eh, I stay shua lidat bout all you guys. An dass right, you know, cuz I tink plenny bout you guys erytime. All you guys stay tight wit me, no matta I one prisona. An wen I try fo tell peopo how come I trus da Good Stuff From God, an wen I tell um how fo dem know dat all da Good Stuff From God stay fo real, you guys do da same kine work jalike me. An erytime God do good kine stuff fo me, he do da same kine good stuff fo you guys too. 8 God know how plenny love an aloha I get fo you guys. I feel lidat cuz Jesus Christ feel lidat.

Den dey goin undastan plenny, an figga wass good an wass bad. 10 Den dey can pick da bestes kine stuff, an tell ‘Laytas’ to da junk kine stuff! Dey do dat fo erybody see dat dey fo real.

Wen dat happen, erybody goin know how awesome you stay, God, an dey goin go all out fo tell all da good kine tings bout you!” Dass how I pray to God.

Now dey get da guts fo tell peopo wat God tell, an no need come sked.

15 Fo shua, aah? get some guys dat tell peopo bout Christ, but dey do dat cuz dey no can handle if anodda guy numba one. Dey like make argue an win erytime. But den, get odda guys dat tell peopo bout Christ cuz dey get one good heart. 16 Dey do um wit love an aloha, an dey know dat I stay hea fo tell peopo how come I know fo shua da Good Stuff From God stay fo real. 17 You guys know da odda buggahs! You know dey ony like teach peopo bout Christ fo show dey mo betta den me! Dass not right, you know, da way dey tink. Dey like make prison mo worse fo me still yet, fo me suffa even moa.

18 So, wat den? Get guys dat tell bout Christ fo make erybody tink dey big. Odda guys, dey do um fo real kine. But no matta dey fake o dey fo real, get guys stay tell peopo bout Christ, an dat make me stay good inside!

An you know, I jus goin stay good inside lidat 19 cuz I know dis: bumbye God goin get me outa all dis stuff. An you know how he goin do dat? Cuz you guys pray, az how. An wateva I need, Jesus Christ Spirit goin help me plenny. 20 I stay waiting real good fo dat fo happen. I stay shua dat notting goin make me come shame. I goin be strong, an I no goin come sked. Erytime peopo see wat happen to me, jalike befo time, I like dem see how awesome Christ stay, jalike befo time, no matta I stay alive o I mahke.

21 Da way I see um, if I stay alive, I stay tight wit Christ, an if I gotta mahke, I stay live wit him foeva, an dass even mo betta! 22 So den, if I stay alive hea in da world, I can do mo plenny still yet.

Dey goin come wipe out, cuz dey neva like lissen an neva take da true stuff. Cuz if dey wen lissen, den God wen take um outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do. 11 Az why God make um so dey no can tink strait fo dem go trus peopo dat bulai dem big time. 12 Az why all da peopo dat neva trus da true stuff, but feel good inside wen dey do stuff dass wrong, God da Judge goin punish dem.

Fo Timoty

“Aloha!”

1 Aloha, Timoty! Dis letta from me, Paul. God wen tell me fo go all ova fo tell peopo da Good Stuff Bout Jesus Christ. God, he take us outa da bad kine stuff we do. Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, all us guys stay wait fo see him an come jalike him.

2 ✡You jalike my boy, an I jalike yoa faddah, fo real kine, cuz I wen help you fo trus God. God oua Faddah, an Jesus Christ Da One In Charge a us guys, I like dem fo do plenny good stuffs fo you wit aloha, an give you chance, an make you stay so notting bodda you.

Watch Out! Get Guys Dat Teach
Da Kine Stuff Dass Not Right

3 I stay tell you now, jalike I wen tell you wen I wen go way from you befo time, an wen go Macedonia side: Stay ova dea inside Efesus town. Get guys ova dea dat teach da kine stuff dass not right. Tell um, “You guys betta not teach lidat! 4 No good you lissen erytime to any kine stories, o who yoa ancesta guys stay.” Wen peopo tink bout dat kine stuff long time, dey ony goin like make argue. Dat no goin help peopo notting fo do da job God like um fo do. Fo do dat, gotta trus him.

5 Teach da peopo fo dem learn how fo show love an aloha fo odda peopo. If dey stay clean inside, an know dey stay do da right ting, an trus God fo real kine an no ack, den can get love an aloha. 6 But some a dem guys, dea tinking come jam up. Dass why dey talk rubbish kine. Ony wase time wat dey tell. 7 Dey like be teachas, fo teach da Rules From God, but dey no undastan wat dey stay teach. Dey talk jalike wat dey tell stay true, but still yet dey no undastan um.

8 All us guys know dis: da Rules From God stay good! Ony gotta do um da right way, jalike da Rules tell you fo do. 9 We know da Rules From God not fo da peopo dat erytime do da right ting. God wen make da Rules fo da peopo dat like broke um, da peopo dat no like lissen, da peopo dat ack jalike God notting, da peopo dat do bad kine stuff, da peopo dat no stay clean inside, da peopo dat talk bad bout God, da peopo dat kill dea faddah guys an muddah guys an odda peopo. 10 Get da Rules From God fo da peopo dat go fool aroun, fo da mahus, fo da peopo dat steal peopo fo make um slaves, da bulaia peopo, da peopo dat bulai in front da judge, an any odda kine stuff dat stay agains da true teaching. Dass why us need da Rules From God. 11 Da true teaching come from da Good Stuff From God dat God wen trus me fo tell. An God, he da God dat stay awesome an good inside.

Jesus Give Me Chance

12 Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, I like tell him “Mahalo plenny!” fo give me da powa fo me do all da stuff he wen give me fo do. Cuz he know he can trus me fo do um. 13 ✡You know, befo time I wen talk real stink an bulai bout God, an make his peopo suffa, an bus um up. But no matta, Jesus still yet wen give me chance, cuz I neva know wat I stay do, an I neva trus him dat time.

14 Da One In Charge a us guys, he wen do choke plenny good tings fo me. Now I stay tight wit Jesus Christ. Az why I can trus him, an I can show love an aloha jalike him. 15 Da stuff I stay telling you now stay true, an you can trus um: God Spesho Guy Jesus wen come hea inside dis world, fo take peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do. I da one wen do mo plenny bad kine stuff den all da odda peopo. 16 But Jesus Christ wen give me chance, no matta I wen do all dat bad kine stuff. Cuz he like use me fo show da odda peopo how he wait fo dem long time too. I jalike da numba one picha fo da peopo dat bumbye goin trus Jesus, an get da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! 17 God, he da King foeva. He no can mahke. Nobody can see him fo real kine. He da ony God. Dass why us guys like tell him we get respeck fo him, an he stay awesome foeva an eva. Dass right!

Do Yoa Job!

18 Timoty, jalike you my boy! I stay trus you fo do all da stuff I stay tell you fo do. Da guys dat talk fo God wen tell dis bout you befo time: “Timoty, you da guy fo do da job.” From wat dey tell from befo time, go fight an win ova da bad kine teaching, jalike one army guy dat fight fo win. 19 Dat mean you gotta hang in dea an trus God, an make shua you know dat wat you do, dass da right ting. Get guys dat figga, “I no like trus God, an no bodda me if I no stay do da right ting!” Dem guys, dey come wipe out awready, jalike one boat dat eat it on top da reef. 20 Hymeneus an Alexander, dey wen make lidat. Az why I wen turn dem ova to Satan fo him take um, fo dem learn fo no talk bad bout God.

Tell Peopo Fo Pray

1 Firs, I tell da peopo fo pray fo erybody, fo eryting dey need. Dis wat I tell um: Go aks God fo wateva you guys need. Make shua you guys pray to him wit respeck. Aks him fo do good tings fo odda peopo. Tell God, “Mahalo plenny!” 2 Pray lidat fo da kings an all da odda leada guys, fo us stay good erytime, an fo notting bodda us. Den goin be mo easy fo do stuff da way God like, fo be solid kine peopo, an fo da odda peopo get respeck fo us guys. 3 Dat stay good, an dass wat God like. He da One dat take us outa da bad kine stuff. 4 He like take all da peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do, an he like dem come fo know da true stuff.

5 Ony get one God.

Ony get one Guy dat stay in da middo fo talk to God an to da peopo.

He da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen

Dass Jesus!

6 Jesus wen give up his life fo erybody.

Az how he pay da price fo free erybody up

From da bad kine stuff.

Dat time, wen Jesus pay da price,

Dat wen show was da right time

Fo God tell erybody he goin take um outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do.

7 ✡Dass why God wen pick me, an sen me all ova da place fo tell da Good Stuff to all da diffren peopos dass not Jew guys. He like me teach dem fo dem trus da true stuff. Eh, I no bulai. Wat I stay telling you stay true.

8 I like da peopo all ova da place fo pray. Wen dey pray, dey gotta be good an spesho fo God, an no make argue o stay mad at da odda guy. Den az okay fo dem put dea hands in da air fo pray.

Da Church Wahines

9 ✡An I like da wahines fo ack da right way too. I like um dress good, an show respeck fo who dem wen dey put on clotheses. Da good looks no come from fancy kine hairdo, o from put on fancy kine gold o pearl kine jewelry, o da kine clotheses dat cost plenny money. 10 Mo betta dey do good kine stuff fo odda peopo. Dass wat stay right fo da wahines dat stay tell peopo dat dey get respeck fo God. 11 Wen da teachas stay teach, mo betta da wahines ony lissen an no talk. 12 Wen get one guy, I no let da wahines teach o ack jalike one boss. Dey gotta ony lissen an no talk. 13 ✡Cuz God wen make Adam firs, an den he wen make Eve. 14 ✡Satan neva trick Adam, but he wen go trick Eve big time. She da one wen broke da Rules From God. 15 But wen da wahines born bebes, dey goin come out okay, if dey stay trus God, an show love an aloha fo erybody, an stay good an spesho fo God, an tink da right way.

Cuz if he get big head, den God judge him jalike God goin judge da Devil. 7 He get one good rep wit da peopo dat no go church cuz a da way he ack.

Get Peopo Dat Bulai Wen Dey Teach

1 God Spirit tell fo real kine dat bumbye befo da world pau some peopo no goin trus da tings we trus. Dey goin stay tight wit odda spirits dat bulai, an trus da stuff da bad kine spirits teach. 2 Dey tell one ting an do da odda, an dey bulai. Inside notting bodda dem wen dey do wass wrong, an dey no feel sorry notting wen dey do bad kine stuff. 3 Da bulaia guys tell peopo dey no can marry, an no can eat dis kine food o dat kine food. But eh, you know, God wen make all kine food fo eat fo us guys dat trus him an know wass true, cuz we eat um an tell him “Mahalo plenny!” fo da food. 4 Eryting God wen make stay good. An us not suppose to throw um out. Us suppose to take um an tell God “Mahalo plenny!” fo um. 5 Da food stay spesho fo God, cuz God tell dat, an cuz we tell him “Mahalo plenny!” fo um.

Da Good Guy Dat Work Fo Jesus Christ

6 Try help oua braddahs an sistahs no foget dis tings. Den you goin be one good worka guy fo Jesus Christ. Wat God tell goin help you trus him an know da good kine teaching. An you stay stick wit um. Dass jalike food dat help you come strong. 7 Stay away from da lolo kine stories an da kine stories dat no mo respeck notting fo God. Mo betta, do da kine tings God like erytime. 8 Wen one guy work out fo make his body come strong, dass good fo some tings. But gotta do da tings dat God like. Dass good fo eryting, fo da life ova hea inside dis world, an fo da real kine life we goin get bumbye. 9 Wat I tell stay true. You can take um all an trus um. 10 Us guys go fo broke an work real hard fo make all dis tings happen. Cuz we trus da God dat stay alive foeva. He can take erybody outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do, an dass wat he do fo da peopo dat trus him.

11 Eh Timoty! Go teach all dis stuff, an tell da peopo fo do um. 12 No let nobody give you attitude jus cuz you mo young den dem, but make good fo da peopo dat trus God fo show dem how fo ack—how you talk, how you ack, how you get love an aloha fo da peopo, how you trus God, an how clean you stay inside. 13 Till I come ova dea, stick wit reading da Bible to God peopo, give da peopo da good kine words from God, an teach um all dat. 14 No foget fo use da powa God wen give you, dat time da older leadas in da church wen tell wat God like do wit you, an put dea hands on top you fo show you one leada too. 15 Try do all dose tings erytime ova an ova. Go all out fo do um fo erybody see how you do um mo betta. 16 Watch out how you ack an make shua you stay teach right. Stick wit da good teaching. Cuz if you do dat, you an da peopo dat lissen you goin come outa da bad kine stuff.

Da Older An Younga Guys
An Wahines Inside Da Church

(Rules Secon Time 17:6; 19:15; 25:4; Census 18:31; Matthew 10:10; Luke 10:7)

1 No scold da older guys, but talk to dem wit good kine words, jalike dey yoa faddah. Same same fo da younga guys, talk to dem jalike dey yoa braddahs. 2 Same same fo da older wahines, talk to dem jalike dey yoa muddahs. An same same fo da younga wahines, jalike dey yoa sistahs, an talk to dem nice kine an no fool aroun.

Da Widows

3 Kokua da widows dat no mo ohana notting, an show respeck fo dem. 4 But if one widow get kids o grankids, da kids suppose to know how fo show respeck in front God fo da widows in dea ohana. Now da kids suppose to take kea dea muddah guys an dea granmuddah guys too, jalike how da muddah an granmuddah guys wen take kea dem small kid time. Dass how God like. 5 Da widow dat no mo one ohana, she gotta trus God. Az why she stay pray an aks God day time an nite time fo kokua her. 6 But da widow dat like live ony any kine da way she like, no matta she stay alive, but inside, jalike she mahke awready. 7 Tell da peopo dat dis da stuff dey gotta do. Den nobody can give um da blame fo notting. 8 If get somebody dat no take kea his ohana, an even mo his muddah an faddah an wife an kids, dass jalike he bag an tell he donno God. He mo worse den da guy dat no trus God notting.

9 No write one widow name on top da church widow lis till she sixty year ol. Make shua she wen stay tight wit one husban. 10 An make shua erybody tell she wen do good kine tings, an take kea her kids. Find out if she wen let peopo she donno from far away come her house fo stay short time, an if she wen wash da dirt off da feet fo da peopo dat stay spesho fo God. Make shua she wen help da peopo dat get hard time, an wen go all out fo do all kine good tings. Den can put her on da lis.

11 An all da younga widow guys, no write dea name on top da church lis too. Bumbye, dey goin tell “Laytas” to Christ, an like marry somebody one mo time, 12 an broke dea firs promise to God. Den dey get da blame cuz dey make lidat. 13 Den dey come lazy. Dey go holoholo from one house to anodda. Dey lazy, an dey like talk stink bout erybody an dey niele bout odda peopo stuffs. Dey talk bout stuff dey not suppose to do. 14 Az why I figga, mo betta fo da younga widows marry one mo time, an get kids, an take kea dea ohana. Den da peopo dat stay agains us no can talk stink. 15 You know, awready get some widows dat wen go da wrong way an stay do wat Satan like um fo do. 16 If get one wahine dat trus God, an she get widows inside her ohana, she gotta kokua dem. No good da church guys do dat. Mo betta da church guys kokua da widows dat no mo ohana notting.

Da Older Leada Guys

(Rules Secon Time 25:4)

17 Da older leada guys dat do one good job fo da church, az good erybody show dem choke respeck, an even mo plenny respeck fo da guys dat work hard an teach wat God tell. 18 ✡Cuz da Bible tell, “Wen da cow stay work fo smash da wheat fo you take out da junks, no go tie up his mout fo him no eat da wheat.” An, “Da worka guy suppose to get da pay fo wat he do.” 19 ✡No lissen if somebody poin finga one older leada. Ony lissen if two o three peopo tell dey wen see um happen. 20 Anybody dat still yet stay do bad kine stuff, tell wat dey do in front all da odda church peopo. Tell um dis: “Wat you guys stay do, az wrong!” Den all da oddas goin come sked fo ack jalike dem.

21 In front God, Jesus Christ, an da angel guys God wen pick, I tell you dis: Do all dis tings. No ony make some peopo do um an same time let odda peopo no do um. 22 No rush an put yoa hands on top somebody fo show you wen pick um fo go work fo God, if you neva check um out real good firs. If you neva, you goin tell “dass good” bout da bad kine stuff da guy stay do. Make shua you stay clean inside.

23 Eh, no drink ony watta, wen yoa stomach no stay feel good an you come sick plenny times. Drink litto bit wine fo help um.

24 Some guys do bad kine stuff an erybody know, even befo dey stan in front da judge. But get odda guys do bad kine stuff, an nobody find out till afta. 25 Same ting, sometimes you goin do good kine stuff an erybody goin see um. An odda times you goin do good kine stuff, an nobody goin see um, but bumbye dey goin see um.

Da Slave Guys

1 Erybody dat stay one slave awready, dey suppose to tink lidis: gotta get plenny respeck fo dea boss. Den nobody can talk bad bout God an wat us guys teach. 2 Da slave guy dat get one boss dat trus God, dey not suppose to show dea boss ony litto bit respeck jus cuz dey braddahs. Dey suppose to work fo dem mo hard, cuz den dey kokua da guys dat trus God, an dey get love an aloha fo dem. Teach um dis stuff, an tell um fo do um.

Get Peopo Dat Teach Diffren Kine Stuff

3 If get anybody dat teach diffren kine stuff, an no like take da solid stuff from Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ, an da stuff we teach bout God, 4 dey get big head an no undastan notting.

Dey tink bad kine stuff bout erybody. 5 Dey erytime make argue wit da kine guys dat get pilau kine mind. Dey donno wass true no moa. Dey ony like do stuff fo God if dey tink dat goin make um come rich.

No Get Plenny Love Fo Money

6 You know, if we do stuff fo God how he like, an stay good inside, den we goin come rich inside. 7 You know, wen we wen born, we neva bring notting inside da world, an wen we mahke, we no goin take notting outside da world. 8 If we get food an clotheses, az enuff fo us, an we still yet stay good inside. 9 Da peopo dat tink plenny bout come rich, dey goin set up fo dem do bad kine stuff. Dey goin like do plenny stupid an bad kine tings dat goin hurt um. Jalike one guy dat stay drown, dey goin come wipe out real good. 10 You know da main ting how come peopo do all kine bad stuffs? Cuz dey get plenny love fo money, az why! Some peopo like get mo money, dass why dey no like trus God no moa. Jalike dey stay stab dea body an suffa plenny.

You Jalike One Good Army Guy

(Census 23:19; 16:5)

1 Eh, Timoty my boy! You gotta be strong inside, you know! You stay tight wit da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, az Jesus Christ. He stay do good tings fo you. Az how you goin come mo strong inside. 2 You wen hear plenny kine stuffs from me, an had plenny odda peopo dea too dat wen hear eryting I tell you. Now, you gotta go pick peopo dat you can trus, an den, put dem in charge a all dat stuff. Dis wat I mean, pick peopo dat know how fo teach odda peopo da same tings I wen teach you.

3 You gotta suffa any kine bad kine stuff, jalike all us guys. Cuz you jalike one army guy fo Jesus Christ too, an you fo real kine like do one good job lidat.

4 Anybody in da army, dey no do all da regula kine stuff da odda guys do dat not army guys. Da army guys, dey ony do wat dea army leada guy tell um fo do fo make him stay good inside.

5 Same ting, jalike if one guy like win one race, he no can win if he no do wat da rules tell um fo do.

6 An one mo ting, da farma guy dat do all da hard work, he da guy dat suppose to get his share firs. 7 Tink hard bout wat I stay tell you. Cuz Da One In Charge, he goin make shua you undastan eryting I tell.

8 So tink plenny bout Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. He da One dat wen come from King David ohana. God wen make him come back alive afta he wen mahke. An dass da Good Kine Stuff From God dat I tell erybody. 9 Wen I tell peopo dis, dey make me suffa. Sometimes dey even tie me up wit chains jalike I one crook. But you know wat? No can tie up da stuff God tell wit one chain! 10 Dass why I stay hang in dea wen dey do any kine to me—cuz I like help da peopo God wen pick. If I do dat, den dey goin come tight wit Jesus Christ, an God goin take um outa da bad kine stuff dat happen to dem. An he goin make um come awesome jalike him foeva. 11 You can trus me wen I tell you dis:

“If us guys mahke wit Christ,

We goin live to da max wit him!

12 ✡An if us guys hang in dea,

We goin come kings wit Christ da King!

But if we tell, ‘We donno Christ!’

Den he goin tell, ‘I donno dem guys!’

13 Even if us guys no trus God,

Fo shua God erytime goin do wat he tell he goin do.

He not goin ack jalike he not God!”

Da Worka Guy Dat Do One Good Job

14 Da church peopo ova dea by you, dey know all dis awready, but you gotta tell um, ova an ova. You gotta tell um serious kine, jalike dey in front God. Tell um no make argue cuz dat no goin help nobody. Ony jam up da peopo dat lissen. 15 Mo betta you go all out, so wen God tink bout you, he know he can trus you fo do one good job. He know you one worka guy dat no need come shame, cuz wat you teach stay true, an you teach um da right way. 16 Az why, wen odda guys tell wase time kine stuff dat make jalike God no matta, you betta get outa dea. How dey talk, make you go mo far from God. 17 Da tings dey tell make eryting come all pilau. Hymeneus an Filetus, dey talk lidat, an get odda guys dat talk jalike dem. 18 Dem guys wen go away from wass true. Dey tell, “Da mahke guys, dey wen come back alive awready.” Dey jam up some peopo, an den dose peopo no like trus God no moa.

19 ✡But you know wat? Da stuff God stay do stay solid, jalike one building dat get one solid foundation undaneat an no can move, aah? An on top dat foundation, get one sign dat tell two tings. One side tell,

“Da One In Charge, he know all his peopo!”

An da odda side tell,

“Whoevas tell, ‘I stay tight wit Da One In Charge a me,’

Dey betta not do someting dat not pono!”

20 You know, inside one big house get all kine bowls an plates. Some, dey make um wit gold an silva fo spesho time. Get some odda bowls an plates dey make wit wood an clay fo use um fo junk kine stuff. 21 So, dass jalike if somebody go clean up da pilau kine stuff inside dem, dey goin come jalike da spesho kine bowls an plates—dey goin be spesho fo God. Da One In Charge can use um. Dey stay ready fo go do any good kine stuff fo him.

22 Eh Timoty! Watch out! No be like da younga guys, da way dey come jam up cuz dey like do any kine stuff. Mo betta you go all out fo do da right ting erytime, fo trus God, fo get love an aloha, an fo stay so notting bodda you. All da peopo dat tell God dey his guys, an dat stay clean inside, dey like do da right ting erytime—so you gotta make jalike dem. 23 But no get mix up wit all kine stupid talk from da guys dat donno notting. Dey ony like make argue bout eryting. You gotta figga, if you talk jalike dem, den you goin stay argue erytime too.

24 But wen one guy work fo Da One In Charge, he not suppose to like make argue, you know. He suppose to make nice wit erybody, an be one good teacha, an no stay huhu wit odda peopo. 25 Wen peopo go agains him, he gotta teach um da true stuff, an teach um nice kine. Den maybe God goin make dem change dea mind fo dem know da trut. 26 Den dey goin come smart an get outa da trap dey stay in, cuz da Devil wen catch um an make um do wat he like fo dem do.

Dey goin ack jalike dey mo betta den da odda peopo. Dey goin talk bad bout odda peopo. Dey no goin do wat dea muddah an faddah tell um fo do. Dey no goin even like tell “Mahalo” wen somebody make nice to dem. Dey no goin show respeck fo wass good. 3 Dey no goin get love an aloha. Dey no goin give chance to nobody. Dey goin poin finga somebody, no matta az not true. Dey no goin hold back wen dey gotta hold back. Dey goin like see odda peopo suffa. Dey goin hate eryting dass good. 4 Dey goin set up odda peopo.

Dass why dey no mo love an aloha fo God. 5 Dey goin ack jalike dey stay real religious, but dey tell erybody dea kine religion no mo powa.

You gotta stay away from dat kine peopo. 6 Some a dem, dey like make good frenz wit da peopo inside one house, cuz dey like bulai some a da wahines dea. Dey bulai dem an take um away from dea house. Dey go afta da kine wahines dat no stay strong inside cuz dey wen do choke plenny bad kine stuff, an dey ony like do wat dey like do. 7 Dey erytime like lissen any kine teacha, but dey no can figga out wass true.

8 ✡You no foget wat wen happen Egypt side, dat time da Egypt guys Jannes an Jambres wen try fo go agains Moses, but dey no can? Get guys nowdays, same ting—dey erytime tink fo go agains da stuff dat stay true. Dea tinking all hamajang. Az why dey no trus God, an God, he tell “Laytas” to dem. 9 But dey no goin bodda plenny peopo—cuz erybody can see dat dea tinking all hamajang. Jalike how was wit Jannes an Jambres befo time.

Da Las Ting Paul Tell Timoty He Gotta Do

10 But you, Timoty, you not jalike dem guys dat tink all hamajang. You stay tight wit me from befo time. You know how I stay teach, how I stay ack, an wat I trying fo do, how I stay trus God, how I hang in dea, how I get love an aloha, an how I handle da presha. 11 ✡An you know dat peopo wen give me hard time. I wen suffa plenny Antiok side, an Iconium side, an Lystra side. I wen handle all kine presha, you know, an Da One In Charge, he wen take me outa all dat.

12 An you know wat? Erybody dat like live da way God like, an stay tight wit God Spesho Guy Jesus Christ, peopo goin make dem suffa. 13 An da bad kine peopo, an da peopo dat bulai, dey goin ack mo an mo worse. Dey goin bulai peopo, but dey bulai ony dem!

14 But you, Timoty, you gotta stick wit da stuff you wen learn, an you gotta make shua odda peopo know wat you wen learn too. Cuz you know who da peopo dat wen teach you all dis, an you know how dey stay. 15 From small kid time, you know awready da tings da peopo from befo time wen write inside God Spesho Book, da Bible. You know dat dis stuff can make you come smart fo know how fo ack, an fo get you outa da bad kine stuff you do. Az why gotta trus God Spesho Guy Jesus Christ, an gotta stay tight wit him. 16 Eh, eryting inside da Bible stay dea cuz God breave um inside da guys dat wen talk fo him befo time. Dass why eryting inside da Bible, az good fo use um fo teach, an fo show wat stay wrong, an fo help peopo no do da bad kine stuff no moa, an fo turn back an stick wit da good kine stuff, an fo teach peopo fo do wass right. 17 So from wat dey wen write, da peopo dat stay all out fo God can get eryting dey need fo do all kine good kine stuff.

1 An right now I stay telling you serious kine fo do all dis stuff, jalike me an you stay stan in front God an his Spesho Guy Jesus Christ. Jesus, he da One dat stay da Judge fo da peopo dat stay alive, an fo da peopo dat stay mahke too.

You gotta be ready an go all out, no matta if eryting going good o bad. Wen anybody do bad kine stuff, tell um how come wat dey wen do was bad, an tell um dey betta no do wass bad no moa. Give um good kine words. Fo all dis, you gotta stay tight wit dem guys fo long time, an make shua you teach um real good.

3 You know, da time goin come, wen peopo no goin like lissen da peopo dat teach da solid kine stuff. Dey goin do wateva dey like.

Da Letta From Paul

Fo Titus

1

“Aloha!”

1 Titus, my boy! Aloha!

Dis from me, Paul, da worka guy fo God. Jesus Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, he wen sen me all ova fo tell peopo bout him.

Jesus wen sen me fo help all da guys God wen pick fo trus him. An anodda ting—he sen me fo help dem know fo shua da trut bout how we suppose to make wen we come close to God. 2 Us guys can trus God. An we can know da trut. Az cuz we know fo shua dat bumbye God goin give us da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! Az why us can wait lidat. God, from da time he wen make da world, he wen promise dat kine life. An he no bulai, you know. 3 An den, da right time, he sen some guys all ova fo talk to da peopo, fo show dem eryting he like tell. An he sen me too. God wen trus me fo talk to da peopo lidat. God, he da One dat take us outa da bad kine stuff.

4 ✡Eh, Titus, you jalike my boy fo real kine, cuz you wen trus God jalike me! I like God an Jesus do plenny good tings fo you, an make you stay so notting bodda you. God, he oua Faddah, an Jesus Christ, he da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen fo take us outa da bad kine stuff.

How Titus Suppose To Work
Crete Side

5 You rememba da time I wen go way from you. I wen tell you, “Eh Titus! stay right hea, Crete Islan. An da stuff dat still not right, make shua come out right. Go ery town, an pick some older guys fo come da leadas fo da church peopo ova dea, jalike I wen tell you fo do befo time.” 6 ✡Somebody dat come one leada, dey gotta be fo real kine fo nobody poin finga dem. Dey gotta be da kine guy dat stay tight wit da same wife. His kids gotta trus God fo nobody tell, “Dose kids, dey party all da time an dey no lissen.” 7 Da main leada guy, he suppose to be one guy nobody can poin finga him cuz he erytime do wass good. He betta not live jalike da kine guys dat get hard head an no lissen da odda guy. Dose guys, dey get mad fas, dey drink too much, dey like beef erytime, dey no shame fo do any kine fo make money. 8 Da main leada guy, he betta not make lidat. Wen peopo from anodda place come stay his place, he show dem aloha. He feel good inside wen he see good tings happen. He know wat he stay do, an he erytime do da right ting. He stay good an spesho fo God all da time. An he in charge a how he ack. 9 He gotta stick wit da kine stuff us guys teach. Dass da kine stuff you can trus. Az why da stuff he teach da peopo goin make sense, an he goin give dem good kine words. Same time, da peopo dat no like da stuff he teach, he know how fo make dem see dat dey wrong.

10 Da guy dat stay in charge, he gotta make lidat, cuz get plenny peopo dat no like lissen. Da stuff dey tell ony wase time! Dey bulai da peopo. But da mo worse one is da guys dat tell erybody gotta make jalike da Jew guys. 11 Eh! Gotta stop um fo no talk lidat no moa. Cuz ery house dey go, dey jam up erybody dea wit da kine tings dey teach. Dey teach da kine tings dey not suppose to teach. An dey not even shame fo charge money fo teach lidat. 12 You know, had one guy, da Crete peopo call um one talka fo dea gods. He tell:

“Dem Crete buggahs, erytime dey bulai.

Dey jalike one wild dog ready fo bite.

Dey ony eat an sleep all da time.

Dey good fo notting!”

13 Az right. So da guys dat like jam up erybody, you scold um real good, fo dem trus God da right way. 14 Den, wen da Jew guys tell any kine make up story, da ones dat trus God betta not lissen no moa. An get peopo dat know da trut, but dey no like do wat dey suppose to do. So no lissen da kine rules dey make fo you.

15 Da peopo dat no mo bad kine stuff inside, fo dem eryting good da way dey see um. But da peopo dat stay pilau inside an no trus God, eryting stay pilau da way dey see um. Mo worse, even da way dey tink stay all pilau, an dey no shame fo do bad kine stuff. 16 Dey stan up in front erybody an tell, “God, I know him!” But den, dey turn aroun an ack jalike dey donno him. Nobody like stay wit dat kine peopo. Dey no lissen. Dey donno how fo do wass good.

2

Gotta Teach Da Right Way

1 Eh, Titus, erytime you talk, make shua you teach da right kine stuff, jalike God guys wen teach you fo do.

2 Tell da older guys inside da church, dat all dem gotta stay in charge a wat dey do. Tell um fo be solid kine guys, fo da peopo get respeck fo um. Tell um fo be da kine guys dat tink bout wat dey goin do befo dey do someting. Dey gotta trus God, get love an aloha fo God an erybody, an hang in dea.

3 Same ting wit da older wahines. Teach dem fo ack da way da peopo dat stay spesho fo God suppose to ack. Tell um, “No talk bad behind anodda guy back, an no love da booze too much fo you drink all da time an no can stop.” Tell um no make lidat, but tell um fo teach ony da good kine tings. 4 Den da older wahines can teach da younga wahines how fo show love an aloha fo dea husban an dea kids, 5 an how fo take charge how dey ack, an how fo be pono inside. An dey can show da younga wahines how fo take kea dea ohana, an how fo be good kine peopo, an how fo show respeck fo dea husban an let him be da leada. So den, if dey do dis, nobody goin talk bad bout da tings dat God tell.

6 Same ting wit da younga peopo inside da church. Give dem good kine words fo help um fo take charge a how dey live. 7 Wateva you do, do good kine stuff fo show dem how dey suppose to ack. Wen you teach, make shua wat you tell an wat you do tell da same ting. Teach cuz you like teach, an be one solid kine guy fo da odda peopo get respeck fo you. 8 Da stuff you tell, gotta be solid, fo nobody tell you donno wat you stay talking bout. Den, if get one guy dat no like wat you tell, he goin come all shame, cuz he no can tell us guys do bad kine stuffs.

9 Da slave guys inside da church, tell um dey gotta do eryting dea boss tell um fo do an no talk back, fo make dea boss feel good inside. 10 An no cockaroach da boss stuffs. Mo betta dey show da boss he can trus um fo do one good job erytime. If da slave guys make lidat, den wen peopo tink bout wat us guys teach, all da kine stuff us teach goin look real good. Dass wat happen wen us guys teach bout how God take us outa da bad kine stuff.

11 How come us guys gotta make lidat? Az cuz God wen show erybody he get one good heart fo help dem. An dass why he can take erybody outa da bad kine stuff dey do. 12 God like do plenny good kine stuffs fo us guys. Dass how come he teach us fo tell, “No way!” fo da kine stuff dat God no like, an “Not even!” fo da bad kine stuff da peopo inside dis world like do. He teach us fo take charge a how us live, fo do da right tings, an fo do da kine stuff dat he like fo us do, hea inside da world nowdays. 13 Same time us guys stay good inside cuz we wait an trus dat Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ, goin come back. Goin be awesome! Jesus, he wen take us outa da bad kine stuff we stay do. He God, you know, an he get powa ova eryting! 14 ✡He wen give his life fo mahke fo us guys, fo him cut us loose from all kine pilau stuff, an from go broke God rules, an make us clean inside. He like make us his spesho peopo, dat go all out fo do wateva stay good.

15 Eh! All dis stuff, dass da kine tings you suppose to teach. Give um good kine words! An wen somebody do bad kine stuff, show um dat da ting dey wen do az wrong. Cuz you get da right fo tell um dat. No let nobody tink dey no need lissen.

Stay Do Da Good Kine Stuff

1 Help da church peopo no foget dey suppose to lissen all da govmen leada guys, an do wat da rules tell um fo do, an stay ready fo do ery kine good ting. 2 Tell dem no talk bad bout nobody, an no beef. Dey gotta make frenz wit erybody. Dey gotta tink bout how da odda guy feel. Dey gotta let da odda peopo go firs.

3 You know, befo time us guys was stupid too. We neva like do wat we suppose to do. We lissen wen odda peopo bulai us. We ack jalike we gotta do wateva we like do, watevas dat feel nice. All da time, we wen do bad tings to da peopo, an stay jealous a dem. Odda peopo wen hate us, an we hate dem too.

4 But den, God wen come show us guys how plenny love an aloha he get fo us, an make good to us. He da One dat get us guys outa da bad kine stuff we stay do. 5 God get us outa da bad kine stuff, but he neva do dat jus cuz us wen do good kine stuff. He do um cuz he like give us chance. He give us guys his Good An Spesho Spirit, dat clean us up an make us jalike come new inside. Az jalike us born one mo time. 6 God wen sen his Spirit fo take charge a us guys to da max. He do dat cuz us Jesus guys, an Jesus da One dat get us outa da bad kine stuff. 7 God do all dat good stuff fo us guys fo us get um right wit him. Now us wen come his kids, an he oua Faddah. Now us wait an stay shua God goin give us da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva!

8 You can trus all dis stuff I stay tell you. Da guys dat trus God awready, you gotta tell um strait fo dem lissen an no foget. So den, dey goin tink hard an make shua dey do good tings all da time. Good wen dey make lidat—help erybody.

9 But stay away from stupid kine stuff. No go all out fo find out who erybody ancesta guys was, fo make argue, o fo squawk at odda guys bout da Rules. Cuz all dat kine stuff no help nobody. Az ony wase time. 10 If somebody like make da church guys go agains each odda fo split up da church, tell him az wrong fo do dat. If he no stop, tell him one mo time. Den, if he still yet no stop, no lissen no mo to da guy. 11 You know wat? No good, dat kine guy, fo shua. He do any kine bad stuff. Da way he ack, erybody can tell he wrong awready. An dat guy, he know he wrong!

Da Las Tings Paul Tell Dem

12 ✡Bumbye wen I sen Artemas o Tykikus by you guys, den try hard fo go Nicopolis fo see me ova dea. Cuz I figga, az one good place fo stay winta time. 13 ✡You know Zenas da lawya guy an da guy Apollos? Dey goin go one far place.

Fo Da Hebrew Peopo

God Sen His Boy Fo Tell Us
Da Good Kine Stuff

(Rules Secon Time 32:43; 2 Samuel 7:14; Songs 2:7; 45:6-7; 97:7; 102:25-27; 104:4)

1 Long time befo time, plenny time God sen guys dat talk fo him fo dem talk to oua Hebrew ancesta guys. Dey tell um plenny tings plenny diffren ways. 2 But now, wen eryting almos come pau, God sen his Boy fo talk to us guys. His Boy, he da One dat get eryting from his Faddah. Wen God make da world an da sky, was his Boy dat do da work.

3 God Boy, he show how awesome God stay,

Jalike wen da sun stay shine in one mirror.

He stay same same jalike his Faddah,

Same same jalike one picha

Fo show how da Faddah stay fo real kine.

Da tings God Boy tell, get choke powa

Fo make eryting hang togedda.

Afta he pau throw out da bad kine stuff da peopo do

Fo dem come clean inside,

He go sit down up ova dea in da sky,

On da right side nex to God Da Awesome King.

Dass da spesho place fo show how importan he stay.

4 All da angel messenja guys up dea in da sky, dey importan.

But God Boy mo importan den dem.

God give his Boy eryting dat God get.

God even give his Boy his name.

God Boy Mo Importan Den
Da Angel Messenja Guys

(Rules Secon Time 32:43; Songs 2:7; 45:6-7; 102:25-27; 104:4; 110:1; 1 Records 17:13; 2 Samuel 7:14)

5 ✡You know, God no talk to da angel guys

Da way he talk to his Boy. He tell his Boy,

“Today I tell

Dat you my Boy!”

An anodda place inside da Bible God tell,

“I his Faddah,

An he my Boy.”

6 ✡Wen God bring his Numba One Boy inside da world, he tell,

“I like all my angel messenja guys

Fo go down an show my Boy plenny love an respeck.”

7 ✡Dis wat God tell bout da angel guys:

“I make my angel messenja guys jalike da winds.

I make da angel guys dat work fo me jalike da fire.”

8 ✡But God talk to his Boy lidis:

“My Boy, you God. You goin stay king foeva.

Da spesho stick you carry fo show dat you da King,

Dat mean you da King dat erytime do da right ting.

9 You stay plenny good inside wen peopo do da right ting,

An wen peopo broke da Rules, you had it wit dat.

Az why you da one I wen pick from all da guys dat stay by you.

Az why I put olive oil on top yoa head fo show dat you da King,

An dat you feel mo betta inside

Den anybody!”

10 ✡An God tell dis too:

“My Boy, you stay Da One In Charge.

From da start,

You make da earth an da sky,

Wit yoa hands.

11 Da earth an da sky goin get wipe out.

But you, you goin stay foeva!

Da earth an da sky goin come boros,

Jalike da kine boros clotheses.

12 You goin throw out da earth an da sky,

Jalike puka kine clotheses.

An you goin change um,

Jalike wen peopo put on da odda kine clotheses.

My Boy, you still stay da same jalike befo time.

You no goin mahke eva!”

13 ✡God neva tell dis to da angel guys, but he tell dis to his Boy:

“Go come ova hea, sit down!

Dis da importan place by my right side.

Bumbye I goin make da peopo dat go agains you

Go down in front you,

Fo show dat you da winna ova dem.”

14 All da angel guys, dey da good spirits dat work fo God. He sen um all ova fo help da peopo come outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do cuz dose peopo his kids.

God Tell No Need Get Punish
Fo Da Bad Kine Stuff We Do

1 Us guys gotta tink plenny bout all da stuff we wen hear fo us no foget um. 2 You know, all da stuff da angel messenja guys tell befo time was da trut, an was from God. If had peopo dat broke da Rules From God an neva lissen, God wen do da right ting wen he punish um fo da Rules dey wen broke.

3 Was lidat befo time. But den, Da One In Charge, Jesus, tell peopo dis awesome ting da firs time—how dey no need get punish fo da bad kine stuff dey do! Had peopo dat wen hear Jesus, an dey wen show us guys proof dat da tings he tell was fo real. But if us guys no like lissen him, no way we no goin get punish fo da bad kine stuff we do. 4 An anodda ting: God wen show proof dat he stay tell da trut. An he do dis cuz he get da powa fo do all kine awesome stuff fo show who him. An God give his peopo his Good An Spesho Spirit fo dem do diffren kine tings he like dem fo do.

Jesus, Da Leada Dat No Gotta Punish Us Fo Da Bad Kine Stuff We Wen Do

(Songs 8:4-6; 22:22; Isaiah 8:17-18; 41:8-9)

5 We stay talk bout da new world dass goin come. But God neva tell bout da angel guys, dat dey goin be in charge a someting ova dea. 6 ✡But get one place inside da Bible wea David tell dis:

“God, how come you tink plenny bout us peopo on top da earth?

An how come you get aloha fo us peopo?

7 You wen make da angel guys

Ony litto bit mo importan den us peopo.

You wen make us peopo awesome

An you show us plenny respeck

Jalike you put one crown on top oua head.

[An you wen put us peopo

In charge a eryting you wen make.]

8 You put us in charge ova eryting.”

You know, wen da Bible tell dat God put us peopo in charge a eryting, dat mean eryting! But right now, wen us guys look aroun, we see dat us peopo still yet no “stay in charge a eryting.” 9 But get one Guy dat “fo short time, da angel guys was litto bit mo importan den him.” Dass Jesus! Cuz Jesus wen go suffa an mahke fo erybody, God “make him awesome, an show him plenny respeck, jalike God go put one crown on top his head.” Dass how God do plenny fo us guys, cuz Jesus wen suffa an mahke fo us no need get punish. 10 Eryting dat get in dis world stay fo God, an come from God. Az why was good dat God wen make Jesus come da bestes kine leada cuz he wen suffa plenny. An dat make plenny peopo no gotta get punish fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do. God do all dis fo make dose peopo come awesome cuz dey God kids now.

11 Jesus make peopo good an spesho fo God. An him an dem, dey all get da same Faddah. Az why Jesus no shame fo call dem “my braddahs an sistahs.” 12 ✡Dis wat Jesus tell God:

“I goin tell all my braddahs an sistahs

Bout wat kine god you.

An wen my braddahs an sistahs all come togedda,

I goin sing bout you.”

13 ✡An one mo time, anodda place in da Bible, Jesus tell dis:

“I goin trus God erytime.”

An anodda place, he tell dis one mo time:

“Look! Dis me!

An dese guys, dey God kids!

God wen give dem to me!”

14 God kids get blood an bones cuz dey peopo. Dass why Jesus jalike dem, wit blood an bones too. He stay lidat so dat wen he mahke, he hemo all da powa from da Devil, da one dat get da powa fo kill peopo. 15 An get peopo dat stay sked all da time dey stay alive. Dey sked dey goin mahke, jalike dey slaves. But Jesus make um no stay slaves no moa. Da Devil da one make peopo stay sked fo mahke. Az why dey lissen him, jalike dey slaves unda him. But now da Devil no can do dat no moa. 16 ✡Fo shua Jesus neva come hea fo help da angel guys. He come fo help da peopo dat come from Abraham. 17 Dass why Jesus gotta come jalike his braddahs an sistahs, ery kine way. An cuz Jesus jalike his braddahs an sistahs, he goin come dea Main Pries Guy fo take kea all da kine stuff da Jew Main Pries Guy do fo God. He give da peopo chance, an he da kine guy dey can trus. Cuz az who him, an he goin hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff da peopo do, an bring um back togedda wit God. 18 Jesus, he wen get presha fo do bad kine stuff, but he no do um. An he wen suffa plenny cuz a da presha. Dass why now he help da peopo handle da presha dey get fo do bad kine stuff.

If we hang in dea, an no shame fo come tight wit God, we erytime goin talk bout da good kine stuffs we stay wait fo God do bumbye.

God Make His Peopo Res

(Songs 95:7-11; Outa Egypt 17:7; Census 20:2-5; 14:21-23)

7 ✡So, jalike da Good An Spesho Spirit tell inside da Bible,

“Today, wen God tell you guys someting,

8 No come hard head,

Jalike yoa ancesta guys wen do

Dat time dey go agains Moses,

Ova dea inside da boonies.

Dey even try fo tes God

Fo see if he goin punish um.”

9 God tell,

“Yoa ancesta guys wen tes me.

Fo find out if I goin punish um.

Den fo forty year dey see wat I do.

10 Cuz a all dat, I wen had it

Wit da peopo dat wen go agains Moses.

I tell, ‘Dem guys get bad kine attitude.

Dey erytime go agains me.

Dey neva like lissen me.’

11 Wat dem guys do, I tell ‘Laytas’ to dat.

Az why I wen make one strong promise:

‘No way dem guys eva going inside

Da land I wen give um fo res!’ ”

12 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs, watch out! Make shua dat nobody get one pilau kine attitude, da kine wea dey no trus God, an da kine attitude wea dey tell God, da One dat stay alive fo real kine, “Laytas wit you!” 13 Mo betta do dis: all you guys give each odda good kine words an do dat ery day. Cuz now, da “Today” God stay talk bout befo time inside da Bible, dass fo us guys today too. An cuz a dat, no mo nobody from you guys goin get hard head cuz now you no do bad kine stuff. Cuz da bad kine stuff jam up how you tink. 14 You know, God make all us guys stay tight wit Christ. But we gotta hang in dea an go all out fo trus God, jalike wen we wen trus him da firs time.

15 ✡Jalike da Bible tell,

“Today, wen God tell you guys someting,

No go come hard head,

Jalike yoa ancesta guys wen do,

Dat time dey go agains Moses.”

16 ✡Who da peopo dat wen hear all dis an go agains Moses, afta dey hear wat Moses tell? Dass all da peopo dat Moses wen bring outa Egypt. 17 An wen God tell, “Forty year awready, I had it wit dem guys!” who he stay talking bout? Az da peopo dat wen do bad kine stuff, an bumbye dey all mahke in da boonies, an dea bodies stay dea. 18 Who da peopo God stay talking bout wen he make dis strong promise: “No way dem guys eva goin go inside da land I give um fo res”? Az da peopo dat no like lissen him. 19 Now us guys know fo shua how come dem guys no can “go inside da land God give um fo res.” Cuz dey neva trus God, dass why.

4

1 So den, God wen make one promise dat he get one place dat he like give us fo us res inside. An dat promise still stay good fo us today. Az why watch out an come sked if look like any a you guys goin miss out on dis res. 2 Now, we hear da Good Stuff From God jalike oua ancesta guys wen hear um. Dey wen hear da Good Stuff too, but dey neva like trus um. Az why da Good Stuff dey hear neva help dem. 3 ✡Ony us guys dat trus God today can go inside God place an res wit him. An God tell befo time bout oua ancesta guys too:

“Wat dem guys do, I tell ‘Laytas’ to dat!

Dass why I wen make one strong promise, an tell

‘No way dem guys eva going inside

Da land I like give dem fo res!’ ”

An you know wat? All dis was lidis from long time befo time, wen God make da world! 4 ✡Get one place inside da Bible dat talk bout Day Numba Seven lidis: “Day Numba Seven, az da day God wen res, afta he pau make eryting.” 5 ✡An in anodda place inside da Bible, God tell dis: “No ways dem guys eva going inside da land I like give dem fo res!”

6 Dat mean, still yet get peopo dat “going inside da place God like give dem fo res.” Da peopo dat hear da Good Kine Stuff From God befo time, dey neva go inside dea cuz dey neva like trus God. 7 ✡One mo time, God make spesho anodda day fo dem. Cuz long time afta oua ancesta guys neva like trus God, David wen write down inside da Bible wat God tell, da same kine tings I jus tell you guys. He talk bout one time, an dat time, he call um “Today.” He tell:

“Today, wen God tell you guys someting,

Lissen good an no come hard head!”

8 ✡David no was talking bout da time Joshua wen take da peopo inside da land. Cuz if was Joshua wen give dem res, den God no need fo talk bumbye bout anodda kine day fo get res. 9 So den, dat mean, get one res day fo God peopo still yet, jalike da Numba Seven Day, dat time God wen res.

10 ✡Az why, wen God give you his kine res, dat mean you pau do yoa work awready, jalike God wen res, afta he pau do his work.

11 So den, good fo us guys go all out fo get dat kine res, so dat nobody come jam up cuz dey no trus God, jalike da peopo dat wen come jam up befo time. 12 Az cuz wat God tell stay alive, an get da powa fo do wat suppose to do, an stay mo sharp fo change us guys inside den one sharp sword dat two side sharp. Wat God tell cut deep inside fo show fo real kine how we tink an wat we like do, an even cut deep inside da joints an da bone marrow. Wat God tell judge wat we tink an how we tink bout stuff. 13 Eryting God wen make, he can see um. No mo notting he wen make can hide fo him no see um. Cuz eryting stay open fo him know bout um. An God, he da One we gotta tell how come us do da tings we wen do.

Jesus Da Bestes Main Pries Guy

(Hebrews 2:17-18)

14 Kay den. Now us guys get Jesus. He God Boy, an he da bestes Main Pries Guy dat eva get. He wen go awready all da way back up inside da sky wea God stay! Az why all us guys dat tell we trus Jesus, we gotta hang in dea an no give up fo trus him. 15 Dass oua Main Pries Guy, Jesus, God Boy. He undastan how us guys not strong an no can handle da bad kine stuff. Cuz he wen get presha fo do all kine bad stuffs jalike us guys. But he neva do notting bad! 16 So den, no need come sked. Us guys gotta come strong fo go in front God throne, cuz he like do plenny good kine stuff fo help us. He goin give us chance, an wen we need kokua, he goin kokua us.

1 Weneva dey pick one guy from da Jew guys fo come be da Main Pries Guy, dat guy get da job fo help da peopo do da kine stuffs da peopo gotta do fo God. Dis Main Pries Guy, he give dea gifs to God, an he make sacrifices fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do. 2 Dis kine guy goin make nice to da peopo dat stay jam up cuz dey donno wat dey suppose to do. Da Main Pries Guy, he same same jalike da peopo, he not strong too. Dass why he make nice to dem. 3 ✡An dass why he gotta make one sacrifice fo him jalike fo da peopo, cuz he do bad kine stuff jalike dem.

4 ✡You know, dat Main Pries Guy, he get plenny respeck. But he no can come da Main Pries Guy jus cuz he like. Az cuz dass one spesho job. God gotta be da One fo pick da guy, jalike da firs time he pick Aaron.

5 ✡Same ting fo Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. He neva make um fo him stay awesome fo come da Main Pries Guy. But was God dat make um come awesome. God tell um,

“Today I tell

Dat you my Boy!”

6 ✡An get anodda place inside da Bible dat God talk lidis:

“You goin stay one pries foeva,

Da Melkizedek kine pries.”

7 ✡Wen Jesus stay hea inside da world, he pray real hard, an he cry real loud, cuz he know dat God can take him outa dea fo him no gotta mahke. An God lissen him, cuz Christ all da time show him respeck, an ony do wat God tell um fo do. 8 No matta Christ God Boy, wat he wen suffa teach him fo lissen God. 9 Christ wen come perfeck, an now he da One dat take all da peopo dat lissen him outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do. An he help um stay perfeck lidat foeva. 10 Az why God make Jesus da Main Pries Guy, jalike da Melkizedek kine pries.

Watch Out! No Go Da Wrong Way!

11 Get plenny mo stuffs we like tell bout all dis, Christ an da Melkizedek guy. But not easy fo tell um cuz you guys no can undastan real good. 12 ✡You know, time awready fo you guys come teachas. But you guys still yet need somebody fo teach you guys one mo time da easy kine stuffs bout wat God tell. You guys jalike bebes dat need milk, cuz you guys no can handle da solid stuff still yet. 13 Wat dat mean, “bebes dat ony breas feed”? Anybody dat donno da right tings fo do, dey jalike one small bebe. 14 An wat dat mean, “handle da solid stuff”? Dat kine stuff fo da grown up kine peopo. Dey jalike da ones dat work out all da time fo come mo strong. Dey do good kine stuff erytime an no do bad kine stuff. Dass how dey know how fo figga wass good an wass no good.

6

1 So den, enuff awready fo teach da beginna kine stuff bout Christ. Now we gotta talk bout how fo come solid an grown up inside. No need teach ova an ova da beginnas kine stuff bout how we gotta come sorry fo all da bad kine stuff we wen do dat goin cut us off from God, an no do um no moa. No need teach ova an ova dat erybody gotta trus God. 2 No need fo teach erytime bout all kine baptisms. No need fo teach erytime bout how fo put da hands on top peopo fo show you like God do plenny good tings fo dem. No need fo teach erytime bout how da mahke peopo goin come back alive. An no need fo teach erytime bout how erybody gotta stan in front God da Judge an get punish foeva. 3 So now, we goin leave all da beginnas kine stuff behind, if God let us do um. Den we goin talk bout how fo come solid an grown up inside.

4 No ways get chance fo peopo come sorry fo da bad kine stuff dey do wen dey spock da trut dat come from up dea inside da sky. An dey start fo taste da good stuff God wen give um an da Good An Spesho Spirit. 5 Dey wen taste how ono da stuff God tell an wen feel da powa from da time wen God goin stay in charge a eryting. 6 But dey tell “Laytas” to Christ. Den no way fo dem come sorry one mo time fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an come back togedda wit Christ. Cuz den, dem jalike dey wen kill God Boy on top one cross one mo time, an make him come shame in front erybody one mo time.

7 You know, wen da groun take in da watta erytime get rain, an dat make da plants da farma guys grow fo da peopo, an da groun come good, den God tell, “Az good how da groun stay!” 8 ✡But if dat groun grow ony da kine bushes wit stickas an junk kine stuff, dat land no good! Bumbye God tell, “Wipe um out an burn um up!”

9 But eh, my good frenz! We stay talking bout peopo dat go da wrong way, jalike dey dat land dat stay poho. But we stay shua dat how you guys ack, az mo betta den dat, cuz God take you guys outa da bad kine stuff you wen do. 10 God, he erytime do da right ting. Az why he no goin foget how plenny you guys wen work fo him, an how you guys wen show him love an aloha cuz you know who him. An you guys wen kokua God spesho peopo, an still yet you guys stay kokua dem. 11 Same ting, now we like all you guys fo show dat you guys go all out jalike befo time. Den you guys goin hang in dea fo shua, an know fo shua dat God goin do eryting he wen promise fo do. 12 We no like you guys ack jalike you guys no like do notting. Mo betta you guys make jalike da peopo dat bumbye goin get all da stuffs God wen promise his kids, cuz dey trus God an stay hang in dea.

Wen God Make One Promise, He Do Um

(Start 22:16-17)

13 Try tink bout Abraham. Befo time, God wen make one promise to him. But no mo anodda guy mo big den God. Dass why God neva make one strong promise an tell some odda guy fo make shua God do wat he tell he goin do. Da odda guy suppose to make shua dat God da one dat fo real kine goin do um. 14 ✡Dis wat God wen promise: “Fo shua I goin do plenny good kine stuffs fo you, an I goin give you one big ohana wit plenny peopo.” 15 So Abraham hang in dea an wait long time, an den he get wat God wen promise fo give um.

16 Wen peopo make one strong promise, dey make um jalike dey do um fo somebody mo importan den dem fo erybody know dat dey goin do um. Dat show dey mean um fo real kine. An den wen dass all pau, da odda peopo no can make argue. 17 Cuz garans God like show his kids dat da plan he make fo dem no goin change eva, he wen make dat strong promise dat fo shua he goin do um. 18 Wen God do dat, he do two tings dat no goin change eva. Numba One, he make one strong promise dat fo shua he goin do good tings fo us guys. Numba Two, he get da blame if he no do good tings fo us guys. An God no bulai nobody. He make dat promise cuz he like give us guys plenny good kine words. Dass fo us guys dat stay run to God fo get outa da bad kine stuff, fo us get da good kine stuff God wen promise he goin give us bumbye. We know he goin do dat, an we goin stay wait fo um. 19 ✡Wen we trus God an we know he goin do good stuff fo us bumbye, dat make us stay strong an solid inside, jalike wen da boat anchor come stuck on da reef an den da boat no move. Wen we trus God lidat, den we goin come tight wit him. Dass jalike wen da Jew Main Pries Guy go inside da Real, Real Spesho Place wea God stay inside. 20 ✡Dass da place wea God stay fo real kine, an Jesus wen go dea befo time fo us guys. Dass jalike da Main Pries Guy go inside da Real, Real Spesho Place inside God Temple. Jesus wen do dat fo us cuz he da Main Pries Guy foeva. He da same kine Main Pries Guy jalike Melkizedek befo time.

Da Melkizedek Kine Pries

(Start 14:1-20; Songs 110:4)

1-3 ✡Wen Melkizedek was king fo Salem town, same time he was da pries fo da Mos Importan God. “Melkizedek,” dass mean, “Da King Dat Erytime Do Da Right Ting,” an he da King fo Salem, dass mean, “Da King Dat Help Da Peopo Stay Good Wit Each Odda.” Nobody know who his faddah guy o his muddah guy, o his ancesta guys. Nobody know wen he born o wen he mahke. He jalike one picha a God Boy, cuz he stay one pries guy, jalike Jesus stay one pries guy foeva.

One time, had some kings an dea army guys dat wen go rip off plenny stuff from da peopo dat live nea Abraham. Abraham dem go fight an win ova dose kings an dea army guys. Dey take back all dea stuffs. Den wen Abraham stay coming back, Melkizedek go out from Salem town fo meet him. An dass wen Melkizedek tell Abraham, “Eh! God goin do plenny good kine tings fo you.” An Abraham give Melkizedek ten percent a all da stuffs he take back cuz Melkizedek one pries guy.

4 Try tink bout dis: Melkizedek was one real importan guy. He so importan dat oua ancesta guy, Abraham, even give him da bestes ten percent from all da stuffs he take back wen he fight da kings. 5 ✡Nowdays, all da Jew pries guys, dey come from Levi, Abraham great-grankid. Da Rules From God tell dat dose pries guys get da right fo take ten percent from all da stuffs all da odda Jew guys get—dass from dea Jew braddahs an sistahs, cuz dey all come from Abraham.

6 But Melkizedek, he one pries, no matta he neva have Levi fo his ancesta guy. But still yet, Melkizedek get ten percent from all da stuffs Abraham bring back. An Abraham, he da guy dat God make promises fo, but still yet, Melkizedek tell him, “I like God do plenny good kine stuffs fo you.” 7 Wen get somebody talk lidat, erybody know he gotta be da mo importan guy fo tell dat kine tings to da guy dass not so importan. 8 Az da regula kine pries guys dat colleck da ten percent. Dose guys, dey goin mahke bumbye. But Melkizedek, he colleck da ten percent, an da Bible tell dat he stay alive fo real kine. 9-10 Dass jalike dis: All da Jew pries guys get da guy Levi fo dea ancesta guy, an dey colleck da ten percent from da peopo. But da time Melkizedek wen meet Abraham an Abraham pay da ten percent to Melkizedek, dass jalike Abraham pay him fo all da Levi peopo an all da Levi pries guys dat not born yet, cuz Abraham da ancesta fo all dem.

11 Now, da pries guys, dey all come from Levi, an Aaron was dea firs Main Pries Guy. Da peopo need pries guys fo help da peopo do wat da Rules tell um fo do. But da peopo no can come perfeck jus cuz dey get da Levi kine pries guys. Dass how come dey need one diffren kine pries guy. Dey need da Melkizedek kine pries guys, not da Aaron kine pries guy. 12 An you know, wen dey change one pries fo anodda kine pries, same time dey gotta change da Rules.

13 Jesus, he da One we stay talk bout. He neva come from da Levi ohana, you know. He come from da Judah ohana, an da Rules neva tell dat da guys from dat ohana get da right fo make sacrifice on top da altar. 14 Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus, erybody know dat he come from da Judah ohana. But wen Moses talk bout da guys from da Judah ohana, he neva tell notting bout prieses.

Anodda Pries, Da Melkizedek Kine

15 But all dis stay come even mo easy fo undastan now: Get anodda kine pries guy wen come. Him, he da Melkizedek kine pries, not da Aaron kine pries. (I stay talking bout Jesus, you know.) 16 Now da Rules tell dat da pries guys gotta come from da Aaron ohana, an Jesus no come from dat ohana. Jesus, he stay one pries guy cuz he get da powa fo live to da max foeva, an no mo notting can wipe him out. 17 ✡Da Bible tell dis bout him befo time:

“You goin stay one pries foeva,

Jalike Melkizedek.”

18 Dat mean, da Rules from befo time no mo powa fo help da peopo. Dass why God wen throw out da ol rules. 19 An you know, da Rules neva make nobody come perfeck. Now, God give us someting mo betta. So den, now us stay shua we goin trus him. An cuz a dat, we stay tight wit him.

20 Wen da guys from Aaron ohana come prieses befo time, God neva make one promise bout dat. But wen God give us one mo betta ting, he wen make one strong promise. 21 ✡Was wen Jesus come one pries, dat God make dat strong promise. God tell um,

“I Da One In Charge.

I make dis promise,

An I no goin change my mind.

‘You one pries guy foeva.’ ”

22 An cuz God make one strong promise to Jesus, garans Jesus da One dat goin make shua us guys goin get one mo betta deal.

23 Befo time had plenny guys dat come pries. Dass cuz dey no can stay one pries long time. Dey all mahke, dass why. 24 But Jesus, he da One dat stay live foeva, an he da kine pries dat stay foeva. Dass why no need anodda pries guy. 25 Jesus, he no stay mahke, he stay alive foeva. All da time he stay dea fo tell God fo help fo da peopo dat come to God cuz a him. An dass how he get da powa fo hemo dem real good from all da bad tings dey stay in.

26 Jesus, he da right kine Main Pries Guy fo us guys: He stay good an spesho fo God. Nobody can poin finga him notting. He stay clean inside. He stay diffren den all da peopo dat stay do bad kine stuff. An God make him mo importan den eryting inside da world o inside da sky. 27 ✡Dass why Jesus, he not jalike da odda Main Pries guys. He no need make one sacrifice ery day jalike dem. Dose guys, firs dey gotta make one sacrifice fo all da bad tings dey wen do, an den dey make sacrifice fo all da odda peopo. But Jesus, he wen make sacrifice fo da peopo ony one time, da time he was da sacrifice.

28 Da Rules tell how fo make guys come da Main Pries Guy. An dey come da Main Pries Guy no matta dey not strong inside. But awready had da Rules bout pries guys wen God make da strong promise fo make his Boy come da Main Pries Guy. An his Boy, he da One dass perfeck foeva.

Jesus, Oua Main Pries Guy,
Give Us One Mo Betta Deal

(Outa Egypt 25:40; Jeremiah 31:31-34)

1 ✡So, all dis stuff I stay tell you guys, dis da main ting: Us guys get da Main Pries dass perfeck. Dass Jesus. He da One dat sit down in da mos importan place, by da right side a da throne wea God Da Awesome King stay up dea inside da sky. 2 Jesus stay work inside da place dat stay spesho fo God, da real place wea God stay, dat Da One In Charge wen make, not jalike da kine tent da peopo wen make.

3 All da Main Pries Guys come pries fo give da gifs from da peopo to God, an fo kill da animals fo make da sacrifices. Az why Jesus gotta bring someting fo give to God too. 4 But you know, if Jesus was hea inside dis world now, he no can be one pries guy, cuz awready get guys dat give da gifs to God, jalike da Jew Rules tell. 5 ✡Dose pries guys, dey work fo God inside one big tent dass ony jalike one copy a da real place dat stay wit God inside da sky. Az why, wen God show Moses how he suppose to make da big tent, God tell him, “Make shua you do eryting jalike da picha I wen show you wen you wen stay on top da mountain.”

6 But da pries kine stuff dat Jesus stay do fo God, dat stuff way mo betta den da stuff da odda pries guys stay do. An same ting, Jesus da middo man fo da deal dass way mo betta den da firs deal. An dat New Deal way mo betta, cuz God wen make mo betta promises wen he make dat New Deal.

7 Try tink lidis, if no mo trouble wit da firs deal, den no need make anodda deal, aah? 8 ✡But God wen get real hard time wit da peopo cuz dey no can handle. Az why he tell dis inside da Bible:

“Me, Da One In Charge, tell dis:

‘Lissen! Da time goin come,

Wen I goin make one New Deal

Fo da Israel ohana,

An fo da Judah ohana.

9 No goin be same same jalike da deal

Dat I wen make wit dea ancesta guys,

Da time I wen hold dea hand

Fo bring um outa Egypt.

Dem guys, dey neva stick wit da deal I wen make wit dem.

Cuz a dat, I no lissen dem.’

Az wat Da One In Charge tell.

10 ‘Dis da deal I goin make bumbye

Wit da Israel ohana peopo.

I goin put my Rules inside dea head.

I goin write um inside dem.

I goin be dea God fo real kine,

An dey goin be my peopo fo real kine.

11 Den dey no need teach all da guys dat live close,

An dey no need teach dea braddahs an sistahs.

No need tell um, “Eh! Gotta know Da One In Charge!”

Cuz dat time, dey goin all know who me,

From da guys dass not importan to da importan guys.

12 I goin pity dem an give um chance,

No matta dey wen do tings dat no stay right.

An I goin foget bout

Da bad kine stuff dey wen do.’ ”

13 Wen God tell “da New Deal,” dat mean he make da firs deal no good awready. An you know, wateva stay come ol an no good, dat litto mo gone awready.

God Big Tent Inside Dis World
An God Place Dass Fo Real Inside Da Sky

(Outa Egypt 16:33; 25:10-39; 30:1-6; 37:10-16; Prieses 24:1-9; Census 17:8-10)

1 So wen God make da firs deal wit da Jew guys, he give dem da Rules fo how fo pray an fo show him love an respeck. An had one spesho place on top da earth wea dey suppose to do all dat. 2 ✡Dat place was one big tent, an inside da firs room da pries guys put da stan fo da lamps, an da table wit da Spesho Breads fo God on top. Dey call dat room “Da Spesho Place fo God.” 3 ✡Den had one big thick curtain inside, an da odda side a dat curtain had anodda room. Dey call dat room “Da Real, Real Spesho Place Fo God.” 4 ✡An had one altar dea wit gold all ova, jus outside da curtain, fo burn incense. An had da Box Fo Help Da Peopo No Foget Da Deal Dey Get Wit God. Had gold all ova. Inside da Box had one gold pot wit da manna kine food inside. An had Aaron stick fo walk dat one time grow leaf on top. Plus, had da flat kine stones wea God wen write down da firs deal he wen make. 5 ✡On top da Box, had two statue dat look jalike da spesho angel watcha tings dat stay alive an go ery place God go wit dea wings spread ova da Box. Dey stay dea fo show how awesome God stay. An dey stay ova da spesho place wea God hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff da peopo wen do. But we no can talk mo bout all dat kine stuff right now, you know.

6 ✡Afta dey put eryting inside da big tent lidat, da pries guys go all da time inside da firs room fo do da tings dey suppose to do dea, cuz dass dea job. 7 ✡But ony da Main Pries Guy can go inside da Real, Real Spesho Room, an he do dat ony one time ery year. Wen he go inside dea, erytime he gotta take blood from one animal dey kill fo make one sacrifice. He give da blood from da sacrifice to God—fo him firs, an den fo da bad kine stuff da peopo wen do, wen dey donno dey stay do bad kine stuff.

8 Da Good An Spesho Spirit give us all dose tings I jus tell fo show dat all da time da firs tent stay, no way us can go inside da place wea God stay fo real kine. 9 All dat stuff jalike one picha fo teach us guys nowdays. Dat stuff show dat da gifs an animal sacrifices da pries guys give God fo da peopo, all dat kine stuff no mo powa. Cuz all dat no hemo da shame dat da peopo get inside fo da peopo dat like pray to God. 10 Dat sacrifice stuff dey make, dass ony bout how da peopo can o no can eat an drink stuffs, an all da diffren kine ways dey suppose to wash diffren kine tings. But you know, dass ony rules bout da outside kine stuff dey suppose to do. Wen God make eryting come new, no need all dat.

Christ Wen Go Bleed An Mahke Fo Us

11 But Christ wen come awready fo be da Main Pries Guy. He da One dat make good kine stuff come to us guys awready. Jalike da pries guys befo time wen do dea work fo God inside one spesho tent, Christ do his work fo God inside one spesho place dass mo importan an mo betta den da odda one. Dat mo betta place, da peopo neva make um, an dat place no come from dis world. 12 Wen Christ go inside da Spesho Place fo God, he go inside ony one time. He get da right fo go inside dea, cuz was his blood he bring in front God. He neva need da blood from da goats an cows dat dey wen kill fo make one sacrifice fo him go inside dea. An dass how he cut us guys loose foeva from da powa da bad kine stuff we do get ova us. 13 ✡Befo time, da Main Pries Guy take da blood from da goats an da cows, o da ash from one burn up young cow, an sprinkle um on top da peopo dat stay pilau an no can pray wit da odda peopo. Den dose peopo come spesho fo God, jalike dey come clean inside fo dem pray wit da odda peopo.

14 Kay den, da Good An Spesho Spirit dat stay aroun foeva wen help Christ bleed an mahke fo us guys. Christ wen give up his body to God fo make one sacrifice, jalike one pries give God one perfeck animal dat no mo notting wrong wit um fo make one sacrifice. So den, da kine sacrifice Christ wen make get way mo powa den da kine sacrifice from befo time. Az cuz Christ was da sacrifice, an he hemo da shame us guys get inside. Az why we no goin do da bad kine stuff dat cut us off from God no moa. An den we goin work fo God, da One dat stay alive fo real kine.

15 Dass wat Christ wen do. An dass why Christ stay da middo man fo da New Deal God make wit da peopo. So now, da peopo God tell fo come be his guys, dey goin get eryting dat he wen promise fo give his kids foeva. Az cuz Christ wen go mahke fo cut dem loose from da powa dat da bad kine stuff get ova dem, all da time dey was unda da firs deal.

16 You know, wen you get one will, dass one kine deal. Gotta show proof dat da guy dat make da will wen mahke fo real kine. 17 If da guy dat make da will stay alive still yet, dat will worth notting. Ony worth plenny afta da guy mahke. 18 Az why da firs deal God wen make befo time, dat deal need blood from one animal sacrifice fo make da deal come good. 19 ✡Dat time, Moses wen tell all da peopo eryting dat God tell dem dey gotta do. Den he make one sacrifice from cows an goats, an take da blood wit watta, an dark red wool string fo tie togedda oregano branches, an sprinkle da blood on top da Book dat tell wat God tell, an sprinkle um on top all da peopo dea too. 20 Moses tell da peopo, “Dis da blood from da sacrifice fo make solid da New Deal dat God stay make wit you guys now. Dat mean you guys gotta do wat he tell you fo do.”

21 ✡An den same ting, Moses sprinkle da blood on top da big tent, an on top eryting da pries guys use fo make sacrifice to God. 22 ✡Dis wat da Rules From God tell: Need blood from da sacrifices fo almos eryting fo make um come clean fo God. If no mo notting dat bleed an mahke, den God no goin let nobody go o hemo dea shame fo all da bad kine stuff dey wen do.

God Spesho Guy Come One Sacrifice

23 So den, all da tings I stay tell you guys, dey ony was copies a da real tings up dea wit God inside da sky. Fo make dose tings come clean fo use, gotta make dose kine sacrifices. But da tings up dea inside da sky dat stay fo real, dey even need mo betta sacrifices still yet. 24 You know, had one place dass spesho fo God dat da peopo wen make, dat was ony one copy a da real ting. But Christ neva go inside dat place dat da peopo wen make. He go wea God stay fo real kine inside da sky, an now he stay wea God stay fo help us guys. 25 An Christ neva make his body one sacrifice ova an ova. But da Jew Main Pries Guy, ery year he gotta go inside da Real, Real Spesho Place, an take blood dass not his blood. 26 But you know, if Christ gotta do um ova an ova, den he gotta suffa ova an ova, from da time God wen make da world. But no was lidat. Now, da end a da world time stay coming, an he wen come ony dat one time, fo be da sacrifice an throw out all da bad kine stuff foeva.

27 Garans erybody ony mahke one time, an afta dat, dey gotta go in front God da Judge. 28 ✡So Christ wen come one sacrifice ony one time fo da bad kine stuff plenny peopo wen do. An he goin come back hea one mo time, not fo come one sacrifice one mo time fo da bad kine stuff, cuz he wen do dat awready. He goin come back fo get da peopo outa all da bad kine stuff dat happen to dem—dass da peopo dat stay wait fo him come back one mo time.

Christ Make Sacrifice Ony One Time

(Songs 40:6-8; 110:1; Jeremiah 31:33-34)

1 Da Rules ony jalike one shadow. Dey not even one good picha a da good kine tings dat goin happen bumbye. Da Rules not da main ting. Dass why da Rules no can eva make da peopo perfeck dat like come tight wit God fo go show him love an respeck. No matta dose peopo make sacrifice ery year, jalike da Rules tell um fo do. 2 Cuz if da Rules wen make dem perfeck, fo shua dey no need make sacrifice, aah? Cuz den da peopo dat show God love an respeck lidat, dey goin come clean inside from dat time, an dey no goin come shame no mo fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, aah? But no was lidat. 3 Da sacrifice dey gotta make, ery year, dat ony make um no foget all da bad kine stuff dey wen do. 4 Cuz da blood from da cows an da goats no mo powa fo hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff peopo do!

5-6 ✡You know, wen Christ wen come inside da world, he tell dis:

“God, you no like da sacrifices an da gifs dat dey bring.

Dey kill animals cuz dey sorry dey wen do bad kine tings,

So dey burn da whole animal fo make one sacrifice,

But dat no make you stay good inside.

Dass why you wen make ready fo me come one man.

7 Den, dis wat Christ tell:

‘Eh, God! I stay hea!

I wen come fo do wat you like me fo do,

Jalike yoa Book tell bout me.’ ”

8 Firs ting Christ tell,

“You no like sacrifices an gifs dat dey bring

Wen dey kill animals

Cuz dey sorry dey wen do bad kine tings,

An wen dey burn da whole animal fo make one sacrifice,

Dat no make you stay good inside.”

Wen Christ talk lidat, he stay talk bout da stuff da peopo stay do cuz da Rules tell dey suppose to do um. 9 Den Christ tell, “I stay hea. I wen come fo do wat you like.” Christ wen throw out da ol deal fo da new deal take ova. 10 Jesus Christ wen do wat God like him fo do. He wen come one sacrifice fo us wen he bleed an mahke dat one time. Dass how us wen come da peopo dat stay spesho fo God fo real kine cuz a wat Christ wen do.

11 ✡An anodda ting, ery day all da pries guys do dea work fo God. Ova an ova dey make da same kine sacrifices. But you know, dose sacrifices no can get throw out da bad kine stuff, eva. 12 ✡But dis pries I stay talking bout, Christ, he wen make da sacrifice fo da bad kine stuff dat one time. Den he go sit down ova dea by God, on da right side, da place wea da mos importan guy suppose to sit. 13 From dat time Christ stay wait fo da time wen bumbye God goin make all da peopo dat go agains Christ go down in front him. God do dat fo show dat Christ wen fight an win ova dem. 14 Christ wen make da sacrifice one time, an dat sacrifice wen make erybody come spesho fo God, fo be da peopo dat stay spesho fo God foeva.

15 Da Good An Spesho Spirit tell us da same ting too. Firs he tell dis:

16 ✡“Da One In Charge tell,

‘Afta dat time, dis da deal I goin make bumbye fo dem guys.

I goin put my Rules inside dem,

An I goin write um inside dea head.’ ”

17 ✡Den he tell,

“I no goin tink bout

Da bad kine stuff dey wen do

An da times dey wen broke my Rules.”

18 An you know, wen God let da peopo go an hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, den no need make anodda sacrifice fo dat no moa.

Now We Goin Come Tight Wit God

(Rules Secon Time 17:2-17; 32:35-36; Habakkuk 2:3-4; Census 15:25-31; Isaiah 26:11, 20)

19 So den, my braddahs an sistahs, now us stay shua we no need hold back fo go any time inside da place dass spesho fo God fo real kine. We get da right fo do dat cuz Jesus wen go bleed an mahke fo us. 20 Befo time, had dis big thick curtain inside da big tent fo no go inside da Real, Real Spesho Place wea God stay. But now, Jesus open up da new way fo us fo go inside wea God stay, cuz Jesus wen go bleed an mahke, an now he stay alive foeva. 21 Us guys get anodda ting: one Main Pries Guy dat stay in charge a God place.

Mo betta dis: give each odda good kine words, an do um even mo plenny cuz you guys know dat Jesus, Da One In Charge, goin come back real fas.

Watch Out! No Make To God Boy
Jalike He Notting

26 But you know, even afta we know da true stuff from God, an if we stay do da bad kine stuff still yet cuz we like, den no mo sacrifice fo hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff we stay do. 27 ✡If we no pau do da bad kine stuff, den no mo notting we can do, but ony stay sked. Az cuz us stay waiting fo da time wen God da Judge goin punish us. Dat time goin get one skery fire dat goin burn up all da peopo dat go agains God. 28 ✡Befo time, if get one guy dat no like lissen da Rules dat Moses wen write down inside da Bible, an two o three guys wen tell da same ting bout da bad kine ting da guy wen do, den gotta kill da guy. No mo anodda chance fo him. 29 ✡Kay den. Get peopo dat make to God Boy jalike he notting, jalike dey spit all ova him. Dey make jalike no mean notting dat Christ wen bleed an mahke cuz he da sacrifice fo dem. Dey even make jalike no matta dass da blood dat God use fo make da New Deal solid, an make dem spesho fo God. Dey talk any kine to da Good An Spesho Spirit dat do plenny good tings fo dem. Cuz a dat, God goin make way mo worse to dem guys den he wen make to da odda peopo dat neva like lissen his Rules befo time. 30 ✡Cuz we know da One dat wen tell dis inside da Bible:

“I da One dat goin pay dem back.

An anodda place God tell dis:

“God goin be da Judge fo his peopo.”

31 Eh! Sked, you know, if da God dat stay alive foeva go afta you!

Odda times da peopo wen make same kine to yoa frenz, an you guys wen stay tight wit yoa frenz. 34 An wen dey wen throw some a yoa frenz inside jail, you guys wen feel love an pity fo dem. An you guys even wen stay good inside no matta peopo wen rip off yoa stuffs. Cuz you guys know dat time dat you guys da ones dat get da mo betta stuffs, da kine dat stay foeva.

Not afta real long time.

38 My guys, da ones dat get um right wit me,

Dem guys goin live fo real kine cuz dey stay trus me.

But if dey come sked an lose fight,

(Smart Guys 3:11-12; Isaiah 35:3)

1 So den, wat bout us guys? All dose peopo dat trus God befo time, jalike dey all run one race. An now, jalike dey all stan aroun us guys fo spock us run da race. Az why we gotta hemo all da heavy kine stuff dat make us run slow, an da bad kine stuff dat jam us up.

He do dat cuz he know dat bumbye he goin come real good inside. An in da end, he sit down in da mos importan place, by God throne, on da right side.

4 Eh! Wen you guys fight fo no do da bad kine stuff, you neva bleed an mahke. 5 ✡You guys foget awready, o wat? God wen give you guys good kine words inside da Bible. An he talk to you guys jalike one faddah talk to his kids. He tell,

“My boy, no tink dass notting

Wen Da One In Charge tell you dat you wrong.

Dass fo help you learn stuff,

An fo you no give up wen he tell you dat you do wass wrong.

6 Dass cuz Da One In Charge get love an aloha fo you.

He tell you wen you wrong fo help you learn stuff.

You know, erybody he pick fo come his kids,

An ery faddah guy tell his kids wen dey do wass wrong fo help dem learn stuff. 8 Erybody get dat kine presha from dea faddah. If yoa faddah no put presha on you fo make you guys learn stuff, dat mean you not his kids fo real kine an no mo nobody one faddah to you guys.

9 You know, all us guys wen get oua real faddahs fo tell us guys wen we do wass wrong fo help us guys learn stuff. An cuz a dat, we get respeck fo dem. So den even mo, us guys gotta lissen God. He jalike oua Faddah fo make us guys come alive inside. An den we goin live fo real kine! 10 Oua faddah guys wen put presha on us guys fo short time fo make us guys learn stuff, an dey put presha da way dey tink az good fo us guys. But God, he put presha on us guys cuz he know fo real kine dass goin help us. Dass why he put presha on us guys fo make us learn stuff fo us come good an spesho jalike him. 11 Erytime we get presha fo make us guys learn stuff, us guys come all sore inside, an we no like dat kine presha. But bumbye all dat presha goin make us come mo strong fo do da right ting, an den notting goin bodda us guys.

14 Try erytime fo make pono wit erybody, an erytime da way you live, make um good an spesho fo God. Cuz ony da peopo dat go all out fo stay spesho fo Da One In Charge goin see him fo real kine.

15 ✡Watch out fo each odda, how you live. No good if somebody tell “Laytas” to all da good kine stuff dat God like do fo us. Dass jalike wen get one bad kine plant dat shoot up an make all da odda plants come poho. Dat kine guy goin make plenny odda peopo come pilau inside. 16 ✡No good if get peopo dat ony like fool aroun, o ack jalike God no matta, jalike da guy Esau wen ack befo time. He Isaac boy dat wen born firs, so he get da right fo get da bestes stuff bumbye wen his faddah mahke. But he wen give up his firs born right fo one bowl soup! 17 ✡An you guys no foget dat afta dat, Esau wen like his faddah give him da rights fo get da stuff da firs born get from his faddah. But his faddah no can give um dat, no matta Esau cry plenny. Az cuz Esau no can change da ting he wen do befo time.

18 ✡But da way God make da New Deal fo you guys, dass not jalike da way he make da firs deal. Cuz dat time, da Israel peopo come by Mount Sinai dat get da burning fire an storm on top, an was real black an dark all aroun. 19 But you guys, you neva hear da trumpet noise, o da awesome voice, jalike da Israel peopo wen hear um. Dat time dey beg Moses, “Bummahs! Us no like hear dat voice no moa!” 20 ✡Dey no can handle, az why. God wen tell um fo real kine, “No let notting go on top da mountain! Nobody! Not even one animal! Gotta throw stones an kill um if dey go on top da mountain!” 21 ✡Wat da Israel peopo see dat time was real skery, az why even Moses tell, “Eh! I stay real sked! Dass why I stay shaking all ova!”

22 But you guys, wen God make da New Deal fo us guys come tight wit him, az jalike da time yoa ancesta guys go by him on top Zion Hill wea he stay. An Zion Hill, jalike da big town inside da sky wea da God Dat Stay Alive live, dass jalike Jerusalem Town. An jalike you guys go by da uku pile a angel guys dat come togedda fo party. 23 An you guys come togedda wit God kids. Dey all importan jalike da Faddah numba one Boy. God get all dea names on top one spesho lis inside da sky. An you guys wen come togedda wit God, da Judge fo all da peopo inside da world. An you guys go by da good peopo from befo time dat God wen make come perfeck. 24 ✡An you guys come togedda wit Jesus too. He da middo man fo da New Deal God make. Was jalike wen Jesus bleed an mahke fo make solid da promise fo da New Deal. An dat deal, mo betta den how was befo time wen da guy Abel wen bleed an mahke.

25 ✡Eh, you guys! Make shua you lissen God, da One stay talking. Da Israel peopo, dey neva like lissen Moses. He da guy hea inside da world dat wen tell dem wat God tell. But cuz dey neva lissen, God wen punish dem. Dat mean, us guys goin get it even moa, if we no lissen da One from da sky wen he stay talk to us! 26 ✡Dat time was God voice dat make da earth shake. But now, he make one promise. He tell, “One mo time I goin make da earth shake, an I goin make da sky shake too.” 27 Wen God tell, “One mo time,” he mean, da stuff God make befo time, he goin shake um, an den he goin take um away. Den da stuff dat no shake, ony dat stuff goin stay foeva.

28 So den, God goin give us guys da right fo come jalike kings wit him. An nobody eva goin take away dat right from us guys. Az why we gotta tell God “Mahalo plenny.” Wen we do dat, we show him all kine love an respeck, cuz we know how awesome he stay. 29 ✡You know, jalike da Bible tell, “Oua God, he jalike one fire dat burn up eryting.”

(Rules Secon Time 31:6; Songs 118:6)

1 Kay den, make shua all you braddahs an sistahs show love an aloha fo each odda. 2 ✡No foget fo show aloha to peopo from anodda place fo tell um come yoa house.

Da Leada Guys

(Prieses 16:27)

7 Tink bout yoa leada guys. Dey da ones dat wen tell you guys wat God tell. Tink plenny bout da way dey live, an da stuff dat happen cuz a dat. An ack jalike dem, da way dey trus God. 8 Cuz Jesus Christ, he stay da same, yestaday, today, an foeva! 9 Get all kine diffren kine stuff dat peopo teach, you know. No let dat kine stuff throw you guys off, an no trus jus any kine stuff!

Wen we let God do good tings fo us, we come mo strong inside. But if we tink we gotta stick wit da rules bout spesho kine food, dat no goin make us come mo strong inside. Get peopo dat tink lidat. But dat no help dem, notting!

10 Befo time, had one altar place wea da pries guys wen work inside God Spesho Tent. Dey get da right fo eat da sacrifice meat from dat altar. But us guys, we get one diffren altar place. An dose pries guys no mo da right fo eat da sacrifice meat from dea. 11 ✡You know, da Jew Main Pries guys take da blood from da sacrifice animals inside da Real, Real Spesho Place Fo God, fo make one sacrifice fo da bad kine stuff da peopo wen do. An den fo burn da animal body, dey take um outside da place wea da peopo stay. 12 Same ting wit Jesus. Was outside da Jerusalem gate dat he suffa, fo make his peopo come spesho fo God, cuz he wen bleed an mahke. 13 Eh! We go make same same jalike Jesus. We let da peopo make any kine to us, jalike dey wen make any kine to Jesus fo make him come shame. 14 Cuz ova hea, us guys no mo town dat goin stay foeva. But we like wait fo see da big town dat goin come bumbye.

15 Us guys, oua ancesta guys wen make sacrifice fo show dey like tell plenny good tings bout God. Az why same ting, us guys goin tell erybody dat us God guys cuz we know who him! Dass why us guys can tell plenny good tings all da time bout how God stay. An we can do all dat cuz a Jesus. 16 No foget fo do good tings fo odda peopo. Give dem wat dey need from yoa stuffs. Cuz dass jalike you stay make one sacrifice dat make God stay good inside.

17 Wen yoa leada guys tell you guys fo do someting, lissen dem, an do wat dey tell you fo do. Dey erytime try fo take kea you guys, day time an nite time, cuz dey know dat dey gotta show God dat dey stay do one good job lidat. Lissen dem, fo dem stay good inside, an no come bum out. Cuz if dey stay bum out, dat no goin help you guys notting.

Da Letta

From James

1

“Aloha!”

1 ✡Aloha! Dis me, James, da guy dat work fo God an fo Jesus Christ, Da One In Charge. I stay write dis letta fo God peopo from da twelve Jew ohana, dat stay scatta all ova da world.

You Like Know Wat Fo Do? Trus God!

2 My braddahs an sistahs! Bumbye you guys goin feel jalike you get hard time fo do wat God like you guys do. But wen you do um, you goin feel real good inside! 3 Cuz you know, afta you guys go thru all dat real hard time, an you guys still yet trus God, den dat goin make you guys hang in dea mo betta. 4 Wen you guys go all out fo hang in dea, dat goin make you guys grow up an come mo strong inside, jalike you suppose to, so dat you guys no need notting moa.

5 If one a you guys donno wat fo do, aks God fo help you, fo give you da smarts you need! He no goin give you guys hard time. He goin help you guys. God give plenny to erybody, you know. 6 But if you goin aks him fo do someting, you gotta trus him. No ack jalike you no can make up yoa mind. Da guy dat no stay shua, he jalike one wave inside da ocean dat da wind stay blow all ova da place. 7-8 Da buggah ack jalike he get two brains, you know. He erytime no can make up his mind da way he tink fo do tings. Dat buggah betta not tink he goin get someting from Da One In Charge, cuz he not.

Da Poor Peopo An Da Rich Peopo

9 Da braddah dat no mo notting, he can feel good inside, cuz he know dat wit God, he importan. 10 ✡Da rich braddah, he can feel good inside too, cuz he know dat da rich kine stuffs he get no goin stay foeva, an he goin mahke too, jalike da wild flowa dry up. 11 Da sun come up an come real hot, an make da plant dry up. Den da flowa fall down, an da plant no look nice no moa. Same ting fo da rich braddah—he stay work fo make his money, but jalike da flowa, he goin mahke.

All Da Good Kine Stuff Come From God

12 Wen one guy hang in dea, no matta he get presha fo do someting bad, he can stay good inside. He goin get da kine life dat God wen promise to da peopo dat get love an aloha fo him. Dass jalike God give him da prize, cuz he wen fight da bad kine stuff, an win! 13 Wen you get presha fo do someting bad, an you tink, “Eh, I like do dat!” no go tell, “God da One stay make me do dat.” No mo nobody can make God do bad kine stuff, an even moa, he no goin make nobody do bad kine stuff. 14 Az oua fault wen we start fo tink, “Eh, I like do bad kine stuff!” Cuz da bad kine tinking pull us all ova. We come jalike da fish dat go afta da bait. 15 Cuz firs we tink, “Eh, I like do um,” an den we go do um. Jalike da hapai wahine too, she no can stop da bebe wen ready fo come. Same ting, us still yet do da bad kine stuff. An dass wat goin cut us off from God.

16 Eh, my good frenz! No let nobody bulai you guys. 17 Erytime somebody give you someting nice an spesho, all dat come from yoa Faddah up dea inside da sky. He wen make all da lights inside da sky—da sun, an moon, an stars. But God no change jalike da tings inside da sky change. 18 God wen plan dis fo us: He tell us guys wass true. Az how he give us his kine life. From all da tings he wen make hea inside da world, he make us guys spesho kine, jalike us da bestes fruits, da kine dat da farma guy pick firs fo make present to God.

Wen God Talk, You Betta Lissen An Do Um!

19 Eh, my good frenz! No foget dis: You guys know dis stuff awready. Weneva you hear somebody talk, erybody gotta lissen real good firs befo dey talk. Az how dey no get all huhu real fas. 20 Cuz wen you come all huhu, dat no help you fo do da right kine stuff God tell you suppose to do. 21 So den, clean up yoa life! Throw out all da bad kine stuff dat stay all ova da place! No get big head. Mo betta lissen wat God tell. He wen put da tings he tell inside you guys head awready, an dass strong enuff fo get you guys outa da bad kine stuff you stay in.

22 An no ony lissen da tings God tell. You guys gotta do um! Cuz if you ony lissen an no do notting, you ony stay bulai you. 23 Da guy dat ony like hear, an no like do notting, he jalike one guy dat check out his face inside da mirror. 24 An wen da guy go way, awready he no can no foget wat kine face he get. 25 But eryting God tell his peopo dey gotta do, dass perfeck, cuz dass wat can hemo you from all da bad kine stuff. So den, if you go check out real good da Rules from God, an no foget wat you wen hear, an stay do um, eh! you goin feel real good inside cuz you stay do um.

26 If one guy tink he erytime do wat God like, but no hold back his mout, his religion wase time, cuz he stay fooling ony him! 27 God oua Faddah, he figga lidis: Da guy dat stay religious fo real kine, an no do notting pilau, he da one goin kokua da peopo dat get hard time—da kids dat no mo faddah o muddah, an da wahines dat no mo husban fo take kea dem. Dat kine guy, he no goin let da peopo inside da world make him do bad kine stuff.

No Make Nice To Some Peopo
But Not To Odda Peopo

(Outa Egypt 20:14; Prieses 19:18; Rules Secon Time 5:18)

1 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! You guys trus da awesome One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ. Cuz a dat, no ony make nice to some peopo, an not to odda peopo, jus cuz you tink dey no look good. 2 Wat if get two guys dat come to yoa church meeting. One guy get one gold ring, an he all dress up. An da odda guy pooa, an ony get puka kine clotheses. 3 An den you guys tink, “Eh! Da guy wit da nice kine clotheses, check um out!” Den you guys make nice to him, an you tell um, “Go come! Sit down hea on dis good seat!” But you tell da pooa guy, “Eh, you! Stan ova dea!” o, “Sit down on da floor by my feets!” 4 You guys ony make nice nice to some peopo, an not to odda peopo, cuz you tink dey no look good, an you stay ack jalike one judge. But you guys all wrong, how you tink.

5 Eh, my good frenz! Lissen! Get peopo inside dis world, an odda peopo tink dey notting, jus cuz dey pooa peopo. But dass da ones dat God pick fo come his peopo, aah? So dey trus him plenny, jalike dey rich inside. Cuz God da King, an dey jalike his kids. He goin give dem all da good kine stuff dat he promise awready to all da peopo dat get love an aloha fo him.

6 But you guys, you make any kine to da pooa peopo. Eh! Wassamatta you guys? Da rich peopo, dey da ones dat erytime make you guys suffa, an make you do watevas dey like, aah? Dey da ones dat erytime drag you in front da judge. 7 Erytime, dey da guys dat talk bad bout da awesome guy Christ, no matta you his guys, an den!

8 ✡You know you stay do da right ting if you do wat God da King tell you gotta do. Da Rule inside da Bible tell, “You gotta get love an aloha fo da odda guy, jalike you get love fo you.” 9 But if you make nice to some peopo, an not to oddas, da tings God tell his peopo dey gotta do show dat you stay do wass wrong, an you stay broke da Rules From God. 10 Dis wat I mean: Anybody dat do eryting God tell his peopo dey gotta do, but ony jam up one ting, dey still wen broke all da Rules From God, you know. 11 ✡Da Rules From God tell, “No fool aroun da odda guy wife.” An, “No murda nobody.” So, even if you no go fool aroun wit nobody, but you go murda somebody, den you still broke da Rules From God.

12 Wen you talk an wen you do someting, no foget dat da Rule dat God goin use fo check you out, dass da Good Stuff God tell us. An dat same Good Stuff From God goin hemo you from doing all da bad kine stuff. 13 Da guy dat make jalike one judge fo da odda peopo, an no give um chance, dat guy no goin get chance wen he stan in front God da Judge. But wen you give da odda guy chance, den no need fo God judge you, an dass mo betta.

Trus God,
An Do Wat He Tell You Fo Do

14 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! So, wat? If one guy ony tell he trus God, but he no do wat God tell um fo do, you tink dass enuff fo da guy get outa da bad kine stuff he awready stay in? No way! He ony stay trussing God wit his mout! 15 If get one braddah o sistah dat no mo clotheses an no mo food fo eat ery day, 16 an den you go tell um, “Aloha! Go come, get warm, an eat up.” But you no give um notting. Laytas wit dat! You guys know dey need all dat kine stuff fo dea body. Wassup wit dat? 17 Same ting, if somebody ony tell he trus God, but same time he no do notting, da buggah no trus God fo real kine, he ony mout!

18 But somebody goin tell: “You trus God, but I do plenny good tings.”

I goin tell dat guy: “Eh! How come you tink lidat? You no can show proof dat you trus God, if you ony talk, but you no stay do good tings. Ony get one way you goin know dat I stay trus God—wen I stay do good tings! Den you goin know fo shua dat I trus God.” 19 I know you stay shua az fo real kine, dat get ony one God. Az good den! But da bad kine spirits stay shua az fo real kine too. Az why dey stay sked an shaking all ova! 20 Wot! You pupule o wat?! If you trus God, but den, you no do good tings, az no good. You tink I gotta show proof a dat, o wat?

21 ✡“Abraham, da ancesta guy dat all us Jew guys come from, he wen do wat God tell him fo do wen he put his boy Isaac on top da altar fo make one sacrifice to God. Az why God tell, ‘Dis guy, he get um right wit me.’ 22 You no can figga? Abraham wen trus God, an he wen do someting too—he put Isaac on top da altar. An dis ting he do help him fo trus God to da max. 23 ✡So dis wen happen jalike da Bible tell: ‘Abraham trus God, so God make Abraham get um right wit him.’ An God tell, ‘Abraham, he my fren.’ 24 Az right, aah? Now you can see dat not enuff fo ony trus God an no do notting. You gotta go do someting too, if you like God fo tell dat you get um right wit him.”

25 ✡Same ting wit Rahab, da wahine from befo time dat fool aroun fo money. Wen she let da Israel army guys hide inside her house, she tell dem fo go back one diffren way so dey no get kill. Dass was da right ting fo her do. Az why God tell she get um right wit him.

26 So den, da body, if no mo spirit inside, stay mahke. Same ting, if you ony trus God, but you no do good tings, den eh! jalike you mahke inside awready, you no mo da real kine life inside you.

1 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! You guys tink you like teach, aah? Kay den, but you know, not erybody suppose to teach. Cuz God goin judge all us teacha guys mo hard den he goin judge all da odda peopo. 2 All us guys, we all jam up plenny. But if get one guy dat no jam up eva wen he talk, dat guy stay all grown up inside, an he know how fo take charge a da way he live an no do bad kine stuff. 3 Jalike da horse: We put da small bit on da bridle inside dea mout, an dass how we make um go wea eva we like. 4 Same ting wit da big kine boats. Even if da boat big, da strong winds inside da ocean make um go all ova. But still yet, ony need one small rudda, an da guy dat drive um make da boat go wea eva he like. 5 Same ting wit yoa mout. Az ony one small ting, but still yet, can talk real big.

Jalike wea get plenny trees. Ony need one small spark fo burn um up, you know. 6 An da mout jalike one fire. Erybody get mout, but wit yoa mout you can make one diffren kine world, wea eryting stay wrong. Da tings us guys tell wit da mout can make us come bad inside. Cuz wat we tell can make eryting come jalike get one fire stay burn you up inside. An dat kine fire come strait from Hell.

7 Get some peopo dat can make any kine animal do wat da guy like—da kine wild animals, da birds, da lizard, an da animals dat live in da ocean, lidat. 8 But no mo nobody can make dea mout do wat dey like um fo do erytime. Yoa mout stay jalike one wild ting. You no can stop tell bad kine stuff, an wat you tell can kill you, you know, jalike da poison. 9 ✡Wit da mout we tell Da One In Charge a us guys, da Faddah, how good he stay, aah? But still, wit da same mout we put kahuna on top da peopo, no matta God wen make dem jalike him. 10 Wit da same mout we talk good bout God, an wit da same mout we put kahuna on top da peopo. How come, my braddahs an sistahs? Az not how suppose to be! No ways!

11 You tink you goin get good kine watta an bad kine watta from da same puka? No can! 12 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! You tink you goin get olive from da fig tree? O fig from da grape plant? No way! Same ting, you no can get good kine watta fo drink from da no good watta. No good if da good kine tings an da bad kine tings come outa da same mout.

Da One In Charge
Show You Wat Fo Do

13 You tink get somebody dat smart an know wat fo do erytime? Kay den. Da guy betta do da right ting erytime, fo him show proof dat he get da smarts from God fo know wat fo do, an he no need be da numba one guy. 14 If bodda you guys wen you tink somebody mo betta den you, an you hate um cuz dey get mo betta stuffs den you, eh! no talk big an tell you smart an know wat fo do erytime. If you talk lidat, you ony stay bulai peopo. You no tell da trut.

15 You guys tell you smart, but you guys no get yoa smarts from God in da sky, you get um from dis jam up world. Dat kine smarts no come from God Spirit, come from you, come from da bad kine spirits. 16 Anybody dat no like odda peopo be mo betta den dem, o get mo betta stuffs den dem, dey goin come wild an do all kine real bad kine stuff.

17 But da peopo dat get da kine smarts from God in da sky, main ting, dea spirit stay all clean inside. An notting bodda dem. Dey make good to erybody an make frenz wit erybody. Dey get pity fo you an give you chance. Erytime dey make good tings happen. Dey no make good ony to dea frenz. Dey ony tell wat dey mean an no ack. 18 Get peopo dat stay cool head an stop all da trouble da odda guys make. Wat you figga dey goin get from all dat? Cuz a dose peopo, bumbye da odda guys goin do da right kine stuff dat God like. Da peopo dat stay cool head an stop all da trouble, dey jalike one farma guy. Firs, da farma guy plant da seeds, den bumbye, he get da food from da plants.

Az why da Bible tell,

He tink he da judge fo him tell dat da Rules no good. If you tell da Rules no good, den you no goin do wat da Rules tell you fo do.

You stay eat all day an come all fat, fo da time dey goin bring you guys to da slaughterhouse! 6 You guys, you make trouble wit da judge fo da peopo dat do da right ting erytime, an den you kill um. An dey no fight back.

Hang In Dea An Pray

7 But eh, my braddahs an sistahs! Hang in dea, till Da One In Charge, Jesus, come back.

Tink bout da farma guys. Dey wait fo dea plant fo come up outa da groun, you know. Dey gotta hang in dea from da time dey put da seed inside da groun, till get da firs rain, to da las rain.

8 You guys, same ting. Hang in dea! Stay strong inside! Almos time fo Jesus Da One In Charge fo come back. 9 Eh my braddahs an sistahs, no grumble bout each odda. Bumbye Jesus da Judge goin check you guys out. He stay ready fo come back!

10 Eh my braddahs an sistahs! Tink bout da guys dat wen talk fo Da One In Charge long time befo time. Dey wen suffa plenny, but dey wen hang in dea. So, make jalike dem. 11 ✡You know wat? Wen we tink bout da peopo dat suffa an no give up, we tell, dey can stay good inside. You no foget da guy Job dat da Bible tell bout? He wen suffa plenny, but he neva give up. An bumbye Da One In Charge wen make eryting good. Cuz Da One In Charge feel pity fo us guys, an give us chance.

12 ✡Main ting, my braddahs an sistahs, no tell, “I swea to God fo make one promise.” Wen you make one promise, no tell “I swea to God by da earth dat I goin do um.” An no tell “I swea to God by da sky” o by any odda ting. Mo betta, ony tell “Yeah” wen you mean aah, an “No” wen you mean no. O if not, bumbye God da Judge goin punish you.

13 Anybody ova dea by you guys get trouble? Good dey pray! Anybody feel good inside? Good dey sing to God! 14 ✡Anybody sick? Good dey tell da older church leadas fo come by dem, pray fo dem, an put olive oil on top dem, cuz Da One In Charge give um da right fo use his name wen dey do all dat, cuz dey his guys. 15 An wen da leada guys pray an trus Da One In Charge, dat goin make da sick guy come good. Da One In Charge goin make him get up. If he wen do someting bad, Da One In Charge goin let um go fo dat, an hemo da shame fo him. 16 So den, if you wen do someting bad, go tell each odda wat kine tings you wen do. Pray fo each odda, fo you come good. Da guy dat get um right wit Da One In Charge an do wass right, wen he pray he get da powa an can do plenny.

17 ✡Elijah was jalike us guys. One time, he wen pray real hard an aks God fo go hold back da rain. An God wen hear him an do um. Dass why neva had rain ova dea fo three an a half year, dat time. 18 ✡Den he wen pray one mo time, an wen rain. An dey wen plant seed, an bumbye, had plant come up outa da groun.

19 Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! If one a you guys start fo do da wrong ting an go way from wass true, an anodda guy help him fo come back an do da right ting, dass good. 20 ✡No foget dis: if you help anodda guy dat wen do someting bad fo come back to God an no do bad kine stuff no moa, you goin save da guy fo him no get cut off from God foeva, an God goin hemo all da shame fo da bad kine tings dat guy wen do, an let um go.

Dat stone wen come da corna block,

8 If you guys live lidis mo an moa, den you no goin live da kine life dat ony wase time an no show notting good. You guys goin know Jesus Christ mo betta, Da One In Charge a us guys. 9 If get somebody dat no like live lidat, dat kine guy stay blind. He no can see good in front him. But eh! Da buggah foget awready dat God wen clean him up inside from all da bad kine stuff he wen do from befo time.

You guys stay solid awready cuz you know all dis stuff az true. 13 An I no goin let you guys foget um. I goin help you guys fo tink bout um erytime. I figga mo betta I make lidis now wen I still stay alive inside dis body. 14 Pretty soon I goin mahke. I know dis, cuz Jesus Christ, Da One In Charge, God Spesho Guy, he wen tell me dat. 15 But still yet I goin go all out fo tell dis, so bumbye wen I mahke, you guys no goin foget.

We Wen See How Awesome Jesus Stay

(Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36)

16 Me an my frenz wen tell you guys awready bout Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ, an how plenny powa he goin get wen he come back, aah? Not was jus one bulai kine story dat us guys like tell. We wen tell you guys ony wat we wen see!

An God da Faddah wen tell how spesho an awesome Jesus. Dat time, Jesus wen hear one voice dat come outa da Awesome Place up dea inside da sky. God tell, “Dis my Boy! I get love an aloha fo him. He make me feel real good inside!” An us guys wen hear dat voice too dat come outa da sky. 19 Az how make all us guys mo shua bout da tings we wen learn from da guys dat wen talk fo God befo time. Az good you guys do wat dey wen tell you fo do! Cuz da stuff dey tell, az jalike one small lamp dat shine inside one real dark place. You guys gotta lissen wat dey wen tell. So stay lissen good till Jesus come back! Den you guys goin undastan mo an mo betta.

Da Teachas Dat Bulai

1 Befo time had some Israel peopo dat bulai. Dey wen tell dey talk fo God, but az was ony bulai. Same ting goin happen wit you guys. Goin get peopo dat tell dey teach fo God, but dey bulai! Dey goin be sneaky buggahs an dey no goin tell nobody wat dey stay do fo real. Dass how dey goin bring dea kine teaching. An if you guys lissen dem, you goin come wipe out fo shua! Dey even goin tell dat dey no need lissen to God, dea owna! Neva mind he wen pay one high price fo dem. Cuz da way dey ack, dey goin come wipe out real fas! 2 Still yet, goin get plenny peopo dat goin follow dem an make any kine, an dey no shame. Da way dem guys ack, dey goin make peopo talk bad bout da true stuff us guys teach. 3 Dey greedy guys, da teachas dat bulai. Dey goin tell you guys any kine make up stories fo dem make choke plenny money from you guys. But you know, God da Judge. He no sleep!

From long time, he stay ready fo punish dem an wipe um out fo shua. But he still stay waiting fo do dat.

God Wen Punish
Odda Peopo Jalike Dem Guys Awready

4 You know, befo time had angel messenja guys dat wen do bad kine stuff, an God da Judge neva let um go. He wen throw dem down inside Hell, an tie um up wit chains fo make dem stay inside da Deep Dark Hole. Bumbye dey gotta stan in front God.

5 ✡Same ting fo da whole world long time befo time. Dat time, da peopo was acking jalike dey tink God, he notting. Same time, had da guy Noah dat was telling da peopo fo do da right ting. But dey neva lissen. Dass why God wen make um rain hard on top dem, an da flood wen wipe um out. But God wen take kea Noah, plus seven odda peopo from Noah ohana.

6 ✡Anodda time had da peopo from Sodom town an Gomorrah town. God wen punish dem cuz dey was real bad. He wen burn up eryting all aroun dea, so ony had ashes an da peopo wen mahke. All dis wen happen fo show someting to da odda peopo dat come afta an make jalike God notting. God show um dat da same ting goin happen to dem if dey make lidat. 7 ✡Same time, had one guy name Lot ova dea dat wen like do da right ting. Wen bodda him plenny how da odda guys wen go buckaloose da way dey neva lissen da Rules From God. Cuz a dat God wen get Lot outa dea. 8 Lot like do da right ting, but he wen live right dea by da peopo from Sodom town. Az why ery day he hear an see dem broke da Rules From God. All dat wen make him suffa plenny inside.

9 All dis stuff show dat Da One In Charge know how fo get peopo outa trouble wen dey lissen him. Same time, he know how fo make da peopo suffa dat no like do wass right, till dey gotta stan in front God da Judge. 10 An da peopo dat ony like do all da pilau kine tings dea body like do, God know how fo make dem suffa even moa. Dey like talk bad bout erybody dat get da right fo tell um wat dey gotta do.

Da Teacha Guys Dat Bulai
Do Bad Kine Stuff

Da teacha guys dat bulai, dey get big head an no shame how dey ack. Dey no mo respeck, an dey no sked fo talk bad bout God an his awesome kine peopo inside da sky. 11 Da angel guys, dey mo strong den da teacha guys dat bulai! No matta da angel guys get mo plenny powa, dey no talk bad bout da awesome guys in front Da One In Charge, an dey no poin finga. 12 But dose teacha guys, dey like talk bad bout da kine stuff dey no undastan. Dey jalike da animals dat no can tink. Dey ony good fo somebody grab um an wipe um out. Dey goin come wipe out fo shua. 13 Dey make peopo suffa plenny, an God goin make dem suffa too, cuz dey neva do da right ting! Dey tink az good fun fo party up. Dey even do any kine stuff dey like do day time wen erybody can see um! Wen dey eat wit you guys, dey ony stay dea fo party up an do all kine shame stuff. 14 Dey ony like check out da wahines fo try make um fool aroun behind dea husban back. Dey buckaloose fo do bad kine stuff. Dey stay look fo peopo dat ony trus God litto bit fo dem try make um do bad kine stuff. Dey ony good fo make peopo come mo an mo greedy. God goin punish dem fo shua!

Da Time God Make One Donkey Talk

(Census 22:21-35)

15-16 ✡Befo time, dem guys go da right way, but den dey wen bag an go da wrong way. Dey wen ack jalike Beor boy Balaam wen ack long time ago. He was one guy dat talk fo God, but he ony like make money real bad, an he do tings dat no was right. Dat time, Balaam stay ride on top one donkey. Da donkey, he no can talk. But God make da donkey talk jalike one guy! Da donkey scold Balaam fo da bad kine stuff he was doing, an try fo make him no do da pupule kine stuff he like do.

God Goin Punish
Da Teacha Guys Dat Bulai

(Smart Guys 26:11)

17 Dose teacha guys dat bulai, dey jalike one puka wea da watta suppose to come out, but no mo watta. Dey jalike da low clouds dat da real strong wind blow away an no mo rain. God wen make one real dark place fo put dem guys. 18 Dese guys talk big, but dey no tell notting. Dey talk lidat cuz dey like bulai peopo fo make um do any kine wild sex dea body like. An dey go afta peopo dat start fo go back da right way, cuz dey like run away from da ones dat live da wrong way. 19 Dose buggahs, dey promise peopo, “If you lissen us guys, go do any kine how you like!” But da teacha guys dat talk lidat, dey jalike slaves, cuz dey no can run away from da pilau kine stuff dey stay do. Wateva make you do bad kine stuff, dass jalike you come one slave fo do dat, you know. 20 Fo get outa da pilau kine stuff hea inside dis world, gotta know Da One In Charge a us guys, Jesus Christ. But if peopo know Christ, an den change dea mind, an get all hook up wit da pilau stuff jalike befo time, dat stuff goin take ova dem. Dey mo worse den befo time. 21 No good if you know da right way fo live, an den you change yoa mind an no do da good an spesho tings God wen tell you fo do. Mo betta fo you, if you neva know da right way da firs time. 22 ✡But dose teacha guys dat bulai, az true wat da Bible tell inside da Smart Guys book: “Da dog bahf, an den he go back by um.” An same ting, “Da pig, you clean um up, an den real quick he go back lie down inside da mud.”

Dey like get wateva look good to dem. An dey like get da kine stuff fo show off too. All dat no come from da Faddah, but come from dis world. 17 Dis world an all da stuff da peopo like get, dat goin pau. But da guy dat do wat God like him fo do, he goin live fo real foeva!

Da Peopo Dat Go Agains Christ

18 My good frenz, da end a da world stay now. You wen hear dat one guy goin come dat go agains da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, az Christ. You know, get plenny guys awready dat go agains Christ. Dass how we know da end a da world stay now. 19 Dem guys wen go way from us, but dey neva was wit us. If dey was oua guys, den fo shua dey stay wit us. But dey wen go way, an dat show dat all dem guys neva was oua guys.

God Kids

1 ✡Tink bout da kine love an aloha da Faddah wen show us! He even call us his kids! An us his kids fo real kine, you know. Az why da peopo inside da world donno wat kine peopo us, cuz dey donno God. 2 My good frenz, us God kids awready. God no show us yet wat kine peopo we goin be bumbye. But we know dat wen Christ come back, us guys goin be jalike him, cuz us goin see him da way he stay. 3 Erybody dat know dat, an stay trus Christ, an wait fo him, dey goin come clean inside, jalike Christ stay clean inside.

4 Whoeva do bad kine stuff, dey broke da Rules From God, cuz wen you do bad kine stuff, az cuz you no lissen da Rules From God. 5 ✡You guys know dat Christ wen come fo throw out da bad kine stuff we wen do. Christ, he no do bad kine stuff, eva! 6 Whoeva stay tight wit Christ no do bad kine stuff. Whoeva stay do bad kine stuff, jalike dey neva see Christ o know him fo real kine.

7 My good frenz, no let nobody bulai you guys. Whoeva stay do da right kine tings, dey stay right, jalike Christ stay right. 8 Whoeva stay do bad kine stuff, dey come from da Devil. Cuz from da start, da Devil stay do bad kine stuff. Dass why God Boy wen come by us, fo bus up da bad kine stuff da Devil stay do.

9 All da peopo dat come from God no stay do bad kine stuff, cuz az jalike God stay live inside dem now. Dey no do bad kine stuff, cuz dey come from God! 10 Dis wat show who God kids an who Satan kids: whoeva no do wat stay pono, dey not God kids. Whoeva no mo love an aloha fo dea braddah an sistah, dey not God kids too!

Get Love An Aloha Fo Each Odda

(Start 4:1-12)

11 ✡Da firs time you wen hear bout Jesus, we wen tell dis: Us gotta get love an aloha fo each odda. 12 ✡Tink bout da Cain story inside da Bible from befo time. No make jalike Cain. He wen stay tight wit da Bad Guy, Satan, an he kill his braddah Abel. How come he wen kill Abel? Cuz Cain stay do bad kine tings, an his braddah stay do da right kine tings.

13 My braddahs an sistahs, wen da peopo inside dis world hate you guys, az okay, no let dat bodda you. 14 ✡Us guys no stay mahke inside no moa, but us wen come alive inside fo real kine! An you know why we know dat? Cuz us get love an aloha fo oua braddahs an sistahs, az why. Whoeva no mo love an aloha stay cut off from God, jalike dey mahke inside. 15 Whoeva hate dea braddah an sistah, jalike dey one guy dat murda peopo. An you know dat whoeva murda peopo no mo da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! 16 Dass why us know how fo show love an aloha fo real kine: cuz Christ wen give his body fo mahke fo us guys! So den, us gotta be ready fo do da same kine ting fo oua braddahs an sistahs. 17 Maybe somebody get plenny stuffs, an dey see dat dea braddah o sistah no mo notting, but dey no mo pity fo dem. How dey goin tell dat dey get love an aloha fo God? No way! 18 My good frenz, no show love wit talk ony. You gotta show da kine love dass fo real, an do good kine tings fo erybody!

Us No Need Come Sked In Front God

19 So, wen us guys get da real kine love an aloha, den we know dat we stay stick wit wass true. We stay shua dat eryting stay okay now, da way God see us. 20 But no matta we tink plenny bout da bad kine stuff we wen do. Cuz we know dat God mo big den how us guys feel inside. He know eryting bout us guys! 21 My good frenz. Az good if no mo notting inside us dat tell we wen do bad kine stuff. We know same time we no need come shame wen we pray to God. 22 An we get from God wateva we tell him fo do fo us, cuz us do wat he tell us fo do. We do wat he like. 23 ✡Dis wat God tell us fo do: Trus his Boy Jesus Christ, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, an get love an aloha fo each odda, jalike he wen tell us fo do. 24 Erybody dat do wat God tell us fo do, dey stay tight wit God. An God stay tight wit dem. God give us his Spirit, an dass how we know dat God stay tight wit us.

God Spirit An Da Spirit Dat Bulai

1 My good frenz, no go trus jus anybody dat tell dey get God Spirit. Firs tes fo see if da spirit dey get come from God. Cuz get plenny fake guys all ova da world. Dey tell dey da guys dat talk fo God, but dey not. 2 Dis how you know da Spirit dat come from God. Wen get somebody dat tell Jesus Christ wen come one real guy jalike us, dass da guy wit da Spirit dat come from God! 3 But wen somebody tell dat Jesus no was one real guy, dass da guy wit da spirit dat neva come from God. Dass da same spirit dat stay go agains Christ. You guys wen hear dat goin get one guy dat go agains Christ, an now dat guy awready stay inside dis world.

4 My good frenz, you guys come from God. Da One dat stay inside you guys, he mo strong den da Bad Guy dat stay inside da world. Dass how you guys wen stan up agains dose guys dat bulai da ones dey stay teach. An you da guys dat wen win! 5 Da guys dat bulai, dey come from dis world. An dass why da tings dey tell come from dis world, an da peopo inside da world lissen dem. 6 But us guys, we come from God. Erybody dat know God lissen us. Da guy dat no come from God no lissen us. Dass how we know da Spirit dat tell da trut, an da spirit dat bulai.

God Get Love An Aloha Fo Erybody

7 My good frenz, we gotta get love an aloha fo each odda, cuz love an aloha come from God. Erybody dat get love an aloha, dey God kids an dey know God. 8 Da guy dat no mo love an aloha donno God, cuz God erytime get love an aloha fo erybody—dass how he stay. 9 Dis how God wen show us dat he get love an aloha fo us: he wen sen his one an ony Boy fo come inside da world. Cuz a him, us guys can come alive inside fo real kine! 10 Dis how da real kine love an aloha stay: God wen get love an aloha fo us guys, no matta us guys no mo love an aloha fo him. An he wen sen his Boy fo mahke. An cuz he wen mahke, he come da sacrifice dat hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff us guys wen do.

11 My good frenz, cuz God wen show dat kine love an aloha fo us guys, den us guys gotta show love an aloha fo each odda too. 12 ✡No matta no mo nobody eva see God fo real kine—if us get love an aloha fo each odda, den God stay wit us an his love stay to da max inside all us guys.

13 Dis how we know dat us guys stay tight wit God an he stay tight wit us, cuz he wen give us his Spirit fo take charge a us. 14 Me an da odda peopo wen see God Boy, an us stay tell erybody da trut: dat da Faddah wen sen him fo get da peopo inside dis world outa da bad kine stuff dey stay do. 15 Whoeva tell, “I stay shua dat Jesus, he God Boy,” God stay tight wit dem, an dey stay tight wit God too. 16 Us know dat God get love an aloha fo us guys, an us trus him.

Da way God stay, he erytime get love an aloha fo erybody. Whoeva live wit love an aloha, dey stay tight wit God an God stay tight wit dem. 17 Dis wat I mean: wen da same kine love an aloha dat God get stay to da max inside all us guys, den us no need come sked wen we stan in front God da Judge, cuz da way us guys live inside dis world, az da same way Christ wen live hea. 18 Wen you get love an aloha, you no need come sked. Cuz wen you get da same kine love an aloha dat God get, den you no goin stay sked. Whoeva stay sked, dey suffa plenny, jalike dey get punish. Jalike dey not grown up inside, dey still yet no mo plenny love an aloha.

19 Us guys get love an aloha fo God cuz he wen get love an aloha fo us firs. 20 Whoeva tell, “I get love an aloha fo God,” but dey hate dea braddah o sistah, dey bulai. Cuz if dey no mo love an aloha fo dea braddah o sistah dat dey can see, how dey goin get love an aloha fo da God dat dey neva see? 21 Dis wat Christ wen tell us guys fo do: Whoeva get love an aloha fo God gotta get love an aloha fo dea braddah an sistah too.

1 Whoeva stay shua dat Jesus da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen, dey God kids. Erybody dat get love an aloha fo one faddah get love an aloha fo da ones dat come from him too. 2 Dis how we know dat we get love an aloha fo God kids: Az fo real wen us get love an aloha fo God an do wat he tell us fo do. 3 ✡Wen us get love an aloha fo God, dat mean we do wat he tell us fo do. An da stuff he tell us fo do, az not too hard. 4 Cuz all God kids can stan up agains da bad kine stuff inside da world an win. An dis how we win: We trus God! 5 Da guy dat stay shua dat Jesus God Boy, az da ony guy dat can stan up agains da bad kine stuff inside da world, an win.

Three Tings Dat Tell Bout Jesus

6 Jesus, he da Guy dat wen come wit watta, da time John wen baptize him. He come wit blood, da time dey wen kill him. He come, not wit watta ony, but wit watta an blood. God Spirit tell us dat dis stay true, cuz his Spirit erytime tell da trut. 7 So, get three tings dat tell da trut bout Jesus, 8 da Spirit, da watta, an da blood. An dey all tell da same ting. 9 Us guys lissen wat peopo tell us. Kay den, wat God tell get mo powa den wat peopo tell, cuz come from God. An dass wat God awready tell bout his Boy. 10 Whoeva trus God Boy know fo shua dat wat God tell bout his Boy stay true. But whoeva no trus God, jalike dey stay tell, “God, he bulai!” cuz dey no trus wat God tell bout his Boy. 11 ✡Dis wat God tell: he wen give us da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva, an dat kine life come wen us stay tight wit his Boy. 12 Whoeva stay tight wit God Boy get dat kine life inside him. Whoeva no stay tight wit God Boy no mo dat kine life inside him.

Da Kine Life Dat Goin Stay To Da Max Foeva

13 I stay write dis to you guys dat stay trus God Boy fo you guys know dat you guys get da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva! 14 Erytime we go aks God fo do da tings he like make happen, we know fo shua dat he lissen us. 15 An if we know dat he stay lissen fo wateva we tell him we need, den we know dat we goin get da tings we wen tell him fo do.

16 If you see yoa braddah doing bad kine stuff, even if he not cut off from God cuz a dat, you gotta tell God fo help um, an God goin give yoa braddah life! I stay talk bout da bad kine tings dat peopo do but dey not cut off from God cuz a dat. Get bad kine stuff dat peopo do dat fo shua make um come cut off from God jalike dey mahke inside—I no tell dat you gotta pray bout dat. 17 Erytime peopo do wass not right, dass bad. But get some bad kine stuff dat peopo do, but still dey not cut off from God cuz a dat.

18 Fo shua all da ones dat stay God kids no do bad kine stuff, cuz God Boy take kea dem, an da Bad Guy, da Devil, no can hurt dem.

19 Us guys know dat we come from God, but da Bad Guy stay in charge a all da odda peopo inside da whole world.

20 We know dat God Boy wen come an help us guys fo undastan. Az how we know da real God. Us guys stay tight wit da One dass da real God—wit God Boy Jesus, da Spesho Guy God Wen Sen. Dass da real God, an dass da real kine life dat goin stay to da max foeva!

God Goin Punish Da Bad Kine Guys

(Start 4:3-8; 19:4-25; Outa Egypt 12:51; Census 22:7; 31:16; 16:19-35; Daniel 10:13, 21; Ezekiel 34:8; Zekariah 3:2)

3 My frenz, I like write you guys real bad fo tell you guys mo bout how God take all us guys outa da bad kine stuff. But now, I gotta write you guys dis: God wen pass down da stuff he like tell da peopo dat stay spesho fo him. He do dis ony one time, an goin be lidis foevas. An dass da stuff you guys wen trus. An you guys gotta proteck dis trut dat he wen trus you fo keep.

4 Cuz get some sneaky buggahs dat wen come inside yoa churches awready wit you guys. Da Bible tell from long time befo time, how dey goin make lidat. Dem guys ack jalike God no matta. Dey take all da good tings oua God stay do, an try change all dat fo dem go buckaloose an make any kine how dey like. Get ony one Guy In Charge, Da One In Charge a us guys, az Jesus Christ, an dey tell he no good. Da Bible tell, dat kine peopo goin get punish.

5 ✡I figga lidis: I know you guys know all dat stuff awready. But I like make you guys tink bout da time Da One In Charge wen take da peopo outa Egypt, so no mo nobody can make um go back eva. Den afta dat, he wen wipe out da peopo dat neva trus him. 6 Same ting wit some angel messenja guys, da ones dat neva like stick wit da kuleana dat God wen give um. God wen give um dea place fo stay, but dey wen bag. Now dey all tie up wit chains foeva. An dey down dea inside da Deep Dark Hole. Den wen da Big Day come, God goin judge dem. 7 ✡An same ting wit da peopo from Sodom an Gomorrah an all da odda towns aroun dea. Dey buckaloose an dey make all kine sex wit anybody. God use dem fo show erybody dat if he gotta punish somebody, he can punish um foeva wit fire.

8 Same ting wit dem sneaky buggahs nowdays! Dey tell dat az okay fo dem do bad kine stuff wit dea body, jus cuz dey wen dream about um. Dey make deaf ear to da ones dat get da right fo be in charge a dem. An dey talk bad bout all da awesome angel guys. 9 ✡Neva was lidat wit Michael, da main angel guy wen he wen fight wit Satan bout Moses body afta Moses mahke. But no way Michael poin finga Satan an talk harsh kine to him. He ony tell Satan, “I like Da One In Charge tell you, ‘No good wat you stay do!’ ”

Dey Goin Wipe Out

(Start 4:3-8; Census 16:19-35; 22:7; 31:16; Ezekiel 34:8)

10 But dose buggahs, dey erytime talk bad bout wateva dey no undastan. Jalike da wild animals, dey no tink wen dey do tings. An dat kine stuff goin wipe dem out. 11 Wassamatta dem?! Dey goin get it! Dey goin go down da same road jalike Cain. Dey do any kine dey like do fo make money, jalike Balaam. Dey goin come wipe out, jalike wen Korah go up agains Moses.

12 Wen you guys stay eat togedda cuz you get love an aloha fo each odda, dose buggahs mess you guys up. Dey ony come by you guys fo eat an party up. Dey ony kea fo dem. Dey no shame.
