Babilon King Swod
18 God kon tell mi:
19 “Man pikin, choose two road where Babilon king go pass kom with en swod. Di two road must start from di same kountry. Do sign post make yu put am for where di roads for start kon enter di kountry.
20 One road go show di king where e go pass rish Ammon town for Rabbah and di oda one go show am Judah road; di strong town wey dey Jerusalem.
21 Babilon king go stand near di sign post for where di road for start. E go shake di arrow, ask en juju kweshon kon shake di animal liver wey dem sakrifice, so dat e go know where e dey go.
22 Di arrow wey mark ‘Jerusalem’ dey for en rite hand! E go-go gada rams kon ready for war. Some ram go dey di gate and dem go build betta wall kon dig many whole.
23 Jerusalem pipol nor go bilive wetin dey happen, bikos of di agriment wey dem make. But na to make dem remember dia sins and to warn dem sey dem go katch dem go prison.”
24 So, dis na wetin mi God wey get pawa dey tok. “I don si una sins and evribody don know how una bad rish. Una sins dey show for evritin wey una dey do. Naw, God go kondemn and give una to una enemies.
25 Una wey bi wiked and bad leaders for Israel! Di day wey God go ponish una, dey kom.”
26 Mi, God wey get pawa, don tok.
“So, make una remove una crown
and di fine skaf wey una tie for head.
Una life nor go bi as e bi before.
I go honor doz wey dey honbol
kon disgrace doz wey dem bi dey honor!
27 I go skata una finish!
Yes, I go skata una.
I go skata di town finish.
But dis one nor go happen
until di pesin wey I choose kom;
di pesin wey I choose
sey make e skata di town.
Na en I go give dis tin to.”
Di Swod And Ammon Pipol
28 “Man pikin, make yu profesai. Tell dem wetin mi God wey get pawa dey tell Ammon pipol wey dey curse Israel. Tell dem sey:
“ ‘One swod dey ready to skata;
swod wey dem polish to kill
and e dey shine like tonda lite.
29 Di vishons wey una si nor bi true
and wetin una sey go happen, na lie.
Una dey evil and wiked well-well
and una day dey kom;
di day wey God go ponish una,
den di swod go kut una neck komot.
30 So, make una karry una swod go back
to where una from bring am,
bikos I go judge una for
where dem for kreate una.
31 Una go feel my vexnashon like hot fire.
And I go give una to wiked men
wey sabi distroy tins.
32 Dem go distroy una with fire.
Una blood go flow for una own kountry
and nobody go remember una again.’ ”
