3 “Az why you, Fo Real Kine Guy, gotta make jalike you one prisona dat gotta go far away. Get yoa stuffs ready fo go far away jalike one prisona. Den day time, wen dey stay watch you, go way from wea you live fo go some odda place. Maybe dey goin tink how come you goin go, no matta dey go agains me. 4 Day time wen dey stay watch you, bring out all yoa stuffs you make ready fo go way jalike one prisona guy. Den wen litto mo ready fo come dark an dey stay watch you, leave from dea jalike da prisonas dat gotta go far away. 5 Wen dey stay watch you, dig thru da wall, an take yoa stuffs out thru da hole. 6 Wen dey stay watch you, put yoa stuffs on top yoa shoulda, an carry um out wen come real dark. Cova yoa face fo no see da land, cuz I stay make you come jalike one sign fo da Israel peopo.”
7 So I do jalike he wen tell me fo do. Day time I bring out my stuffs an make um ready fo go far away. Den wen almos dark I dig thru da wall wit my hands. I take my stuffs out wen start fo come dark, an carry um on top my shoulda wen dey stay watch.
8 Morning time Da One In Charge tell, 9 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Da Israel peopo dat erytime go agains me, dey wen aks you, ‘Eh, wat you stay do?!’
10 “So tell dem, ‘Dis wat da Boss, Da One In Charge tell: Dis bout da bad tings dat goin happen fo da prince guy inside Jerusalem, an fo all da Israel ohana peopo dat stay dea. 11 Tell um, “Me, I da sign fo show you guys wat goin happen. Wat I wen do, same ting goin happen to you guys. You goin come prisonas an go far away.” ’
12 “Da prince guy dat stay wit da Jerusalem peopo goin put his stuffs on top his shoulda, nite time, an go way. Da peopo goin dig one hole thru da wall fo him go thru dea. He goin cova his face fo no see da land. 13 ✡But jalike I goin put out my net fo catch um, an my trap goin get um. I goin take him Babylon side, da land wea da Babylon peopo stay. But he no goin see dat land. An he goin mahke ova dea. 14 All da peopo dat stay aroun him, I goin scatta dem ery way da wind blow—his helpa guys an his army guys. An jalike I goin chase dem wit my sword ready fo swing.
15 “Dey goin know dat me Da One In Charge wen I scatta dem to da diffren peopos. 16 But I goin make shua some a dea guys stay alive, so dey no mahke in da war o from no mo food, o from da real bad kine sick. Az fo dem tell da Pilau Stuff story ova an ova inside da countries wea dey goin go bout all da pilau kine stuffs dey wen do. Den dey goin know dat me Da One In Charge.”
17 Anodda time Da One In Charge tell: 18 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Shake jalike one earthquake wen you eat yoa food, an shake jalike someting stay bodda you wen you drink yoa watta. 19 Tell da peopo inside da land: ‘Dis wat da Boss, Da One In Charge, tell bout da peopo dat stay inside Jerusalem an in da Israel land: Dey goin ack jalike someting stay bodda dem wen dey eat dea food, an wen dey drink dea watta dey goin feel all bus up. All dis goin happen cuz dea land goin come all wasted an no goin get notting dea. All da peopo dat stay dea like go bus up eryting, az why. 20 Da towns wea da peopo live goin come wasted, an no mo notting goin stay ova dea. Den you guys goin know dat me Da One In Charge.’ ”
21 Da One In Charge tell: 22 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Wat dis ting dat you peopo inside da Israel land tell each odda? You guys tell: ‘Fo one long time, no mo notting happen, from all da tings God show da guys dat talk fo him!’ 23 Tell dem, ‘Dis wat da Boss, Da One In Charge, tell: I goin make shua wat dey tell each odda no goin happen, an dey no goin talk lidat no moa, inside da Israel land. Tell um: Da time goin come soon wen eryting dat God wen show da guys dat talk fo him happen!’ 24 Cuz no goin get bulaia kine dreams no moa. An wen da Israel peopo like fo find out from da odda gods wat goin happen, an dey like get da kine stuff dat peopo like hear, all dat no goin happen no moa. 25 But me, Da One In Charge, I goin tell wat I like tell. An wat I tell no goin take long time fo happen! No matta you Israel guys go agains me. Still yet, I goin do um, same time you guys stay alive. Az wat me da Boss, Da One In Charge, tell.”
