Deuteronomy 32

32 ¹Make una hear, heaven, and I go talk; make di earth hear di words wey comot for my mouth. ²Make my teaching fall like rain, make my talk settle like dew, like soft rain wey dey drop for tender grass, and like rain wey dey fall for plant wey dey grow. ³Bicos I go announce di name of our Papa; make una give greatness to our Papa! ⁴Di Rock—our Papa—im work perfect, bicos all im ways na justice. Our Papa dey faithful and e no dey do wrong; e dey just and correct. ⁵Dem don do bad-bad tin against am; dem no be im children again, but na blemish—generation wey bend and twist. ⁶Na so you dey pay our Papa back, you foolish and senseless people? No be am be your Papa, wey create you, wey make you and establish you? ^a a v6 For here di Song talk am plain: our Papa na di one wey create Israel, make dem, and establish dem — di heart of who e don always be to im children. ⁷Remember di days of before-before; think about di years of generation after generation. Ask your papa, and e go tell you, your elders, and dem go explain am. ⁸When di Most High, our Papa, give di nations dem inheritance, when e divide mankind, e set di borders of di people according to di number of di sons of Israel. ⁹Bicos di portion of our Papa na im people, Jacob na im inheritance wey dem share give am. ¹⁰E find am for desert land, for di empty wilderness wey dey howl; e surround am, e take care of am, e guard am like di apple of im eye. ¹¹Like eagle wey dey shake im nest, wey dey hover on top im young ones, e spread im wings and catch dem, dey carry dem for im wings. ¹²Na our Papa one guide am, and no foreign god dey with am. ¹³E put am on top di high places of di land, and e chop di produce of di field; e feed am with honey from di rock, and oil from di hard stone. ¹⁴Curds from di herd and milk from di flock, with di fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with di best of di wheat—and you drink di foaming wine of di blood of grapes. ¹⁵But Jeshurun grow fat and kick—you grow fat, swell, and sleek—den e abandon our Papa wey make am and despise di Rock of im salvation. ^b b v15 Jeshurun na poetic name for Israel, wey mean "di upright one." ¹⁶Dem make am jealous with foreign gods; dem provoke am to vex with abominations. ¹⁷Dem sacrifice to demons wey no be God, to gods wey dem never know, new gods wey just appear now-now, wey your fathers never fear. ¹⁸You neglect di Rock wey father you, and you forget our Papa wey born you. ¹⁹Our Papa see am and reject dem, bicos of di provocation of im sons and im daughters.

²⁰And e talk say, "I go hide my face from dem; I go see wetin go happen to dem, bicos dem be perverse generation, children wey no get faithfulness inside.

²¹"Dem make me jealous with wetin no be god; dem provoke me to vex with dem worthless idols. So I go make dem jealous with dem wey no be people; I go provoke dem to vex with foolish nation. ²²Bicos my anger don light fire wey dey burn reach di deep part of di grave; e dey chop di earth and im produce and set di foundations of di mountains on fire. ²³I go pile disasters on top dem; I go finish my arrows against dem. ²⁴Hunger go waste dem, burning plague and bitter destruction go consume dem; I go send di teeth of wild animals against dem, with di poison of tins wey dey crawl for di dust. ²⁵For outside, sword go bring death, and for inside, terror—for young man and young woman di same, di baby wey dey suck breast with di gray-hair elder. ²⁶I for don talk say, 'I go cut dem to pieces; I go wipe dem memory comot from among mankind,' ²⁷if I no bin fear di taunt of di enemy, for fear say dem adversaries go misjudge and talk say, 'Na our own hand win; no be God do all dis tin.' ²⁸Bicos dem be nation wey no get wisdom, and no understanding dey inside dem. ²⁹If only dem for wise, dem for understand dis tin; dem for see dem final end. ³⁰How one person go fit chase 1,000, and two go fit make 10,000 run, if no be say dem Rock don sell dem, and our Papa don give dem up? ³¹Bicos dem rock no be like our Rock; even our enemies gree with am. ³²Bicos dem vine comot from di vine of Sodom and from di fields of Gomorrah; dem grapes na grapes of poison, dem clusters dey bitter. ³³Dem wine na di poison of snakes, di wicked poison of cobras.

³⁴"No be say dis tin dey store with me, seal inside my treasuries? ³⁵Justice and payback na my own, for di time when dem foot go slip; bicos di day of dem calamity dey near, and dem doom dey rush come on top dem. ³⁶Bicos our Papa go vindicate im people and im belle go dey pain am for im servants, when e see say dem strength don finish and nobody remain, whether slave or free. ³⁷Den e go talk say, 'Where dem gods dey, di rock wey dem take cover for inside, ³⁸wey chop di fat of dem sacrifices and drink di wine of dem drink offering? Make dem rise up and help una; make dem be una shelter!' ³⁹Look—na me myself be am, and no god dey beside me. I dey kill and I dey give life; I dey wound and I dey heal, and nobody fit deliver from my hand. ⁴⁰Bicos I lift my hand go heaven and declare: As I dey live forever, na sure tin, ⁴¹when I sharpen my sword wey dey flash and my hand grab judgment, I go bring justice on my adversaries and pay back dem wey hate me. ⁴²I go make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword go chop flesh—with di blood of di dead and di captives, from di long-hair heads of di enemy."

⁴³Make una rejoice, una nations, with im people, bicos e go avenge di blood of im children and bring justice on im adversaries; e go make atonement for im land and im people.

⁴⁴Moses come and talk all di words of dis song to di people, am and Joshua di son of Nun. ⁴⁵And when Moses don finish to talk all dis words to all Israel,

⁴⁶e tell dem, "Put una heart to all dis words wey I dey testify to una today, so dat una go command una children to keep and do all di words of dis law. ⁴⁷Dis no be empty word for una—na una life. Through dis word una go live long for di land wey una dey cross Jordan go take possess."

Our Papa Call Moses Come House

⁴⁸For dat same day our Papa talk to Moses, say,

⁴⁹"Go up dis Abarim mountain, Mount Nebo, for Moab wey dey face Jericho, and look Canaan, wey I dey give di people of Israel as dem possession. ⁵⁰Den die for di mountain wey you dey climb, and make dem gather you to your people, as Aaron your brother die for Mount Hor and dem gather am to im people, ⁵¹bicos you break faith with me among di Israelites for di waters of Meribah-kadesh for di Wilderness of Zin, bicos you no treat me as holy among di Israelites. ⁵²Bicos you go see di land from far, but you no go enter am—di land wey I dey give di people of Israel."
