Bikɔs ɛnibɔdi we gi insɛf dɛn tin ya na dis siti, nɔ de tink fɔ go bak na in yon siti. 3 O man we nɔ gɛt sɛns, we de dawt, ɛn we sɔri; we nɔ ɔndastand se ɔl dɛn tin ya na ɔda pipul dɛn yon, ɛn dɛn de ɔnda ɔda pɔsin in pawa. Bikɔs PAPA GƆD fɔ dis siti tɛl yu se; Ɔ obe mi lɔ dɛn, ɔ kɔmɔt na mi siti. 4 So wetin yu fɔ du we yu de ɔnda lɔ na yu yon siti? Yu tink se fɔ yu prɔpati ɔ fɔ ɛni wan pan dɛn tin dɛn we yu dɔn gi, yu go dinay yu lɔ? Bɔt if yu dinay am, ɛn afta dat yu go bak na yu yon siti, dɛn nɔ go wɛlkɔm yu, bɔt dɛn nɔ go kɔmɔt de. 5 So, yu si se lɛk pɔsin we de na ɔda kɔntri, yu nɔ de gɛt mɔ tin fɔ it to yusɛf pas wetin yu nid ɛn we go du fɔ yu? ɛn rɛdi, so dat we di Gɔd ɔ Masta fɔ dis siti drɛb yu kɔmɔt de, yu go agens in lɔ, ɛn go na yu yon siti; usay yu go gɛt ɔl di gladi at fɔ liv akɔdin to yu yon lɔ we nɔ gɛt ɛni bad tin. 6 So una we de sav Gɔd, tek tɛm wit am na una at. ɛn mek shɔ se i go mek dɛn gud to una; if una du wetin i tɛl una fɔ du. 7 So bifo dat, una fɔ bay di prɔpati dɛn we una want fɔ bay, una fɔ fri di wan dɛn we nɔ gɛt natin frɔm wetin dɛn nid, jɔs lɛk aw ɔlman ebul fɔ du; fɔ mek di uman dɛn we dɛn man dɔn day, rayt; jɔj di kes fɔ di wan dɛn we nɔ gɛt papa; ɛn spɛn yu jɛntri ɛn yu jɛntri fɔ du tin dɛn lɛk dis. 8 Na dis mek Gɔd dɔn mek una jɛntri, so dat una go ebul fɔ du dɛn kayn wok ya.

So una

nɔ want di jɛntri we di neshɔn dɛn gɛt; bikɔs dɛn de pwɛl Gɔd in savant dɛn. 10 Bɔt una go de du biznɛs wit una jɛntri we una gɛt, so dat una go gɛt gladi at sote go. 11 Ɛn nɔ du mami ɛn dadi biznɛs wit ɔda pɔsin ɔ tɔch ɛni ɔda man in wɛf ɔ want am; bɔt yu want ɔltin we na yu yon biznɛs, ɛn yu go sev.” SIMILITUDE 2. WETIN FƆ DU 2 1 As a de waka na di fil, ɛn tink bɔt di ɛlm ɛn di vayn, ɛn tink wit misɛf bɔt dɛn frut dɛn, wan enjɛl apia to mi ɛn tɛl mi se; Wetin na di tin we yu de tink bɔt so lɔng insay yusɛf? 2 Dɔn a tɛl am se: “Masta, a de tink bɔt dis vayn ɛn dis ɛlm bikɔs dɛn frut dɛn fayn.” Ɛn i tɛl mi se; Dɛn mek dɛn tu tik ya fɔ bi ɛgzampul to Gɔd in savant dɛn. 3 A tɛl am se: “Masta, a want fɔ no wetin dɛn tik dɛn ya we yu de tɔk bɔt gɛt fɔ du wit.” Una lisin, na so i se; yu de si dis vayn ɛn dis ɛlm; Sa, a se, a de si dɛn, . 4 I se dis vayn de bia frut, bɔt di ɛlm na tik we nɔ gɛt frut. Bɔt pan ɔl dat, dis vayn pas dis ɛlm sɛt am, ɛn sɔpɔt am, i nɔ go bia bɔku frut; bɔt if i ledɔm na grɔn, i go bia bɔt frut we nɔ fayn, bikɔs i nɔ bin de hang pan di ɛlm; bɔt bikɔs dɛn sɔpɔt am pan di ɛlm, i de bia frut fɔ insɛf ɛn fɔ dat. 5 So, si aw di ɛlm nɔ de gi smɔl, bɔt i de gi mɔ frut pas di vayn. Aw, Sa, a se, i de bia mɔ frut pas di vayn? Bikɔs, i bin se, we dɛn sɔpɔt di vayn pan di ɛlm, i de gi bɔku ɛn gud frut; bɔt if i ledɔm na grɔn, i go bia smɔl, ɛn dat kin rili sik bak. 6 So, Gɔd in savant dɛn tan lɛk dis; ɛn i tinap fɔ di jɛntriman ɛn po man. A ansa se, “Masta, mek dis sho mi.” I se, yɛri; di jɛntriman gɛt jɛntri; bɔt pan ɔl we i po to di Masta; bikɔs i dɔn tek in jɛntri, ɛn i nɔ de pre to PAPA GƆD; ɛn di prea dɛn we i de pre na les ɛn dɛn nɔ gɛt pawa. 7 So we di jɛntriman go to di po pipul dɛn di tin dɛn we i want, di po man kin pre to di Masta fɔ di jɛntriman dɛn; ɛn Gɔd de gi di jɛntriman ɔl gud tin, bikɔs di po man jɛntri fɔ pre; ɛn di tin dɛn we i de aks fɔ gɛt big pawa wit di Masta. 8 Dɔn di jɛntriman de sav ɔltin to di po pipul dɛn, bikɔs i no se Jiova de yɛri am, ɛn i de gi am wetin i want mɔ ɛn i nɔ de dawt. 9 Ɛn di poman de tɛl Jiova tɛnki fɔ di wan dɛn we jɛntri; bikɔs dɛn ɔl tu de du dɛn wok frɔm di Masta.

10 So wit mɔtalman, dɛn nɔ kin tink se di ɛlm go gi ɛni frut; ɛn dɛn nɔ no ɛn ɔndastand se we dɛn ad in kɔmpin to di vayn, di vayn de bia tu tɛm inkris, fɔ insɛf ɛn fɔ di ɛlm. 11 Na so i de yɛri di po pipul dɛn we de pre to Jiova fɔ di jɛntriman dɛn; ɛn dɛn jɛntri de bɔku, bikɔs dɛn de sav di po wan dɛn we dɛn jɛntri.

SIMILITUDE 3. WETIN FƆ DU 3 1 I sho mi bak bɔku tik dɛn we dɛn lif dɛn dɔn shed, ɛn we tan lɛk se dɛn dɔn dray, bikɔs dɛn ɔl fiba. Ɛn Jizɔs tɛl mi se: “Yu si dɛn tik ya?” Aibin tok, Sa, aibin luk lek dray tri. 2 I ansa mi se; Dɛn tik dɛn ya tan lɛk di man dɛn we de na di wɔl we wi de naw. A ansa se: Sa, wetin mek dɛn tan lɛk tik we dɔn dray? Bikɔs, i bin se, dɛn nɔ no di wan dɛn we de du wetin rayt ɔ di wan dɛn we nɔ de du wetin rayt; bɔt ɔlman fiba na dis wɔl we wi de naw. 3 Dis wɔl tan lɛk di kol sizin to di wan dɛn we de du wetin rayt, bikɔs dɛn nɔ no dɛn, bɔt dɛn de de wit pipul dɛn we de sin. 4 Jɔs lɛk insay di kol sizin, ɔl di tik dɛn we dɔn lɔs dɛn lif, tan lɛk dray tik dɛn; ɛn dɛn nɔ go ebul fɔ no uswan dray ɛn grɛn: so insay dis wɔl we wi de naw, dɛn nɔ de no di wan dɛn we de du wetin rayt ɔ di wan dɛn we wikɛd; bɔt dɛn ɔl fiba. SIMILITUDE 4. WETIN FƆ DU 4 1 I sho mi bak bɔku ɔda tik dɛn, sɔm pan dɛn gɛt lif, ɛn ɔda wan dɛn bin tan lɛk se dɛn dray ɛn dray. Ɛn Jizɔs tɛl mi se: “Yu si dɛn tik ya?” Ianswered, Sa, a de si dɛn; .ɛn sɔm dray, ɛn ɔda wan dɛn ful-ɔp wit lif. 2 Na dɛn tik dɛn ya we grin, na di wan dɛn we de du wetin rayt we go gɛt di wɔl we gɛt fɔ kam.” Fɔ di wɔl we gɛt fɔ kam, na di sɔma fɔ di wan dɛn we de du wetin rayt; bɔt to pipul dɛn we de sin, na di kol sizin. 3 So we di Masta in sɔri-at go shayn, na da tɛm de di wan dɛn we de sav Gɔd go sho ɔlman. Jɔs lɛk aw dɛn kin sho ɛn sho ɔl di tik dɛn frut insay di sɔmma, na so di wan dɛn we de du wetin rayt go de du ɛn sho dɛn, ɛn dɛn go gɛt gladi-at ɛn gladi at bak na da wɔl de. 4 Bikɔs di ɔda kayn pipul dɛn, dat na di wikɛd wan dɛn, lɛk di tik dɛn we yu si dray, dɛn go si dɛn dray ɛn nɔ gɛt frut na da ɔda wɔl de; ɛn dɛn go bɔn lɛk dray wud; ɛn i go mek pipul dɛn no se dɛn dɔn du bad ɔl di tɛm we dɛn de liv; 5 Ɛn dɛn go bɔn dɛn bikɔs dɛn dɔn sin ɛn nɔ ripɛnt fɔ dɛn sin. Ɛn ɔl di ɔda neshɔn dɛn go bɔn, bikɔs dɛn nɔ gri se na Gɔd mek dɛn. 6 So yu fɔ bia gud frut, so dat insay di sɔmma, pipul dɛn go no yu frut; ɛn kip yusɛf frɔm bɔku biznɛs, ɛn yu nɔ go du bad. Bikɔs di wan dɛn we de du bɔku biznɛs, de sin bɔku; bikɔs dɛn de du dɛn biznɛs, ɛn dɛn nɔ de sav Gɔd. 7 Ɛn aw pɔsin we nɔ de sav Gɔd go aks Gɔd ɛnitin ɛn gɛt am? Bɔt di wan dɛn we de sav am, de aks ɛn gɛt wetin dɛn want. 8 Bɔt, if pɔsin gɛt wan tin fɔ fala, i kin sav

Gɔd, bikɔs in maynd nɔ kɔmɔt pan Gɔd bɔt i de sav am wit klin maynd. 9 So if yu du dis, yu go gɛt frut na di wɔl we gɛt fɔ kam; ɛn ɔlman, ɔl di wan dɛn we go du di sem we, go bia frut. SIMILITUDE 5.

A ansa se, Sa, tide a de kip wan steshɔn. 2 I ansa se, “Wetin na steshɔn? A ansa se, na fast. I se, Wetin na dat fast? A ansa se, A de fast, lɛk aw a dɔn yus fɔ du. I se, una nɔ no wetin i min fɔ fast to Gɔd; ɛn dis nɔto fast we una de fast, we nɔ gɛt natin fɔ du wit Gɔd. 3 Masta, a se, wetin mek yu de tɔk dis? I ansa se, “A de tɔk am, bikɔs dis nɔto di tru fast we una tink se una de fast; bɔt a go sho una wetin na di fast fast ɛn we Gɔd gladi fɔ. 4 Lisin, i se, “Di Masta nɔ want dis kayn fast we nɔ nid fɔ fast, bikɔs we yu fast dis kayn we, yu nɔ go ebul fɔ du wetin rayt.” 5 Bɔt di tru fast na dis: Nɔ du ɛnitin we wikɛd na yu layf, bɔt sav Gɔd wit klin maynd; ɛn kip in lɔ dɛn ɛn waka akɔdin to in lɔ dɛn, ɛn nɔ alaw ɛni wikɛd want fɔ kam insay di maynd. 6 Bɔt abop pan di Masta se if yu du dɛn tin ya ɛn fred am ɛn nɔ du ɛni bad tin, yu go liv fɔ Gɔd. 7 If yu du dis, yu go pafɛkt wan fast fast ɛn we Jiova gladi fɔ. 8 Lisin to di sem tin we a de kam tɔk to yu bɔt dis. 9 Wan man we gɛt fam ɛn bɔku savant dɛn plant vayn gadin na wan pat na in fam fɔ in pikin dɛn. 10 We i travul go na wan fa fa kɔntri, i pik wan pan in savant dɛn we i tink se fetful pas ɔlman ɛn we i lɛk, ɛn gi di vayn gadin to in kia. ɛn tɛl am se i fɔ tek di vayn tik dɛn.
