1 “Da bad kine stuff da Judah peopo do,
Jalike somebody stay write inside dem
Wit one real sharp iron chisel o wit diamond poin,
Jalike stay write on top one metal plate,
An jalike fo write um on top da tings jalike horns

An in front da tiki poses fo da idol kine wahine god Asherah,
An undaneat ery big tree dat get plenny leaf

An all yoa sacrifice places on top da hills—

All ova yoa country.

Inside one land you guys donno from befo time.

Jalike one real hot fire dat goin burn foeva.”

Wen dat guy make thirty-five, da rich stuffs he wen steal, all gone awready,

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!

Make dat day spesho fo me, jalike I wen tell yoa ancesta guys dey gotta do! 23 But yoa ancesta guys neva lissen fo real kine. Dey ony come hard head. Wen I tell um fo do stuff da right way, dey ony make deaf ear.’
24 “Den Da One In Charge tell: ‘But if you guys lissen me fo real kine, you no goin bring stuffs inside da gates fo dis big town on da Res Day. Make dat day spesho fo me, an no work on da Res Day! 25 Den garans goin get king guys dat sit on top David throne, an dey goin come inside da gates fo dis big town wit dea leada guys. Dey goin come inside on top war wagons an horses, dem an dea leada guys, an da guys from Judah, an da peopo from Jerusalem. Den dis big town goin get peopo living inside, all da time. 26 Da peopo goin come from da Judah towns, an da small towns aroun Jerusalem, from da Benjamin ohana land, an da small hills makai side, from up country Judah, an from da Negev boonies. Dey goin bring animals fo make burn up kine sacrifice an odda kine sacrifice, da wheat o barley sacrifice, da incense fo burn fo me, an da sacrifice fo tell me mahalo plenny. Dey goin bring all dat to da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. 27 But if you no lissen wat I tell you fo do, an no make da Res Day spesho fo me, wen you come inside da Jerusalem gates an carry stuff wit you on da Res Day, den I goin burn up da Jerusalem gates wit one fire dat no mo nobody can pio. Da fire goin wipe out da strong wall all aroun Jerusalem.’ ”
