Isaiah 28pcm

1Efraim pipol, una own don finish! Una glory dey fade like flower wey breeze blow trowey, bikos una leaders don drink well-well and even with all di perfume wey dem spray, dem still sleep for dirty, bikos di drink don katch dem well-well.

2Si! God dey send one strong pesin wey get pawa well-well kom attack una. Di pesin go kom like heavy rain kon attack and distroy una with una land.

3Di leaders wey drink dey katch, dem go mash dia crown for groun.

4Di proud leaders glory wey don dey fade, go disappear like di first fig wey kom out for en sizin; pipol go plok dem chop wen dem neva ripe.

5For dat time, God wey get pawa go bi betta crown wey get glory to en pipol wey survive.

6E go give wisdom to doz wey dey judge, so dat dem go judge well. E go give strong heart to doz wey dey defend di town, so dat dem nor go fear any attack.

7Even di profets and di priests dey stagga bikos dem don drink well-well. Dem don drink plenty wine and e dey konfuse dem. Dem don drink sotey dem nor dey fit undastand di vishon wey God send kom or judge any kase well.

8Dem don kover dia tabol with vomit and evriwhere dey smell.

9Dem dey sey, “Who God dey try to tish sef? Who E dey esplain en message for? En message good for only shidren wey just stop to suck breast!

10Bikos E dey won tish us word for word, line by line and lesin by lesin, do am like dis or do am like dat.”

11So if una nor won listin, God go use strenjas wey go opress and tish una lesin with language wey una nor undastand.

12Before-before, God tell dem, “Dis na where una go dey sikure, so doz wey don taya go fit rest for here. Yes! Dis na where una go fit rest put.” But dem nor gri listin to am.

13So God word nor make sense at-all to dem and na dis go make dem fall wen dem try to waka. Yes! Dem go fall for trap kon wound and dia enemies go karry dem go as prisonas.

14So, all di sturbon and wiked rulers for Jerusalem, make una listin to wetin God dey tok.

15Bikos una dey boast sey una don follow deat and dead body enter agriment. Una dey sure sey wahala nor go near una wen e kom, bikos una bilive sey una lie-lie word go save una.

16Naw, dis na wetin God tok, “I dey put one foundashon stone for Zion and dem rite dis word put, ‘Di pesin wey bilive and get faith, make e nor fear.’

17Na justice dem go take measure di foundashon. And na trut dem go take build am.” Big-big stones go fall kon kill all di pipol wey dey lie well-well and wota go distroy all di place where dem tink sey dem dey save.

18Di agriment wey una make with deat, nor go work again and dem go kansol di one wey una enter with dead body. Wen judgement go kom like strong wave, e go karry una go.

19Wen God dey Judge una, E go karry una go. E go judge di town both for day and nite. Na fear and pain dis message go give una wen una don undastand am.

20Bikos di bed go too short to stresh body and di klot go too small to kover body.

21Den God go raiz-up as E do for Mount Perazim and for Gibeon Valley, so dat E go do wetin E won do. Even if wetin E dey do dey sopraiz us; E go komplete en wonderful work.

22So make una nor laf as I dey warn una, if not, e go hard una well-well to eskape. Bikos I hear wen God wey get pawa sey E go distroy di whole kountry.

23Make una listin to wetin I dey tok; make una hear wetin I dey tish una.

24E get farmer wey go just dey klear en land wen e suppose to dey plant?

25Wons e just prepare di soil, e go plant di seed and herb put kon plant wheat, barley and rice for di korna.

26E know how to do en work, bikos God don tish am how to work as farmer.

27E nor dey use heavy hoe take dig di seed kom out, instead, e dey use small-small stik wey bi dia size.

28E must grind en flour if e won make bread. En melu wey e take dey work, e know how e go take karry dem pass di farm, so dat dia leg nor go distroy di rice.

29All dis wisdom dey kom from God wey dey lead heaven sojas. Na-im dey give pipol wisdom and dey guide us for evritin wey wi dey do.
