Chapter 32.

For di twelfth year, twelfth month, di first day, di word of our Papa come reach me:

Pikin of man, sing sorrow-song for Pharaoh, di king of Egypt, and tell am: You dey compare yourself to lion among di nations, but you be like di dragon wey dey inside di seas; you dey burst comot for your rivers, dey shake di waters wit your leg, dey make dem streams dirty. a a v2 Di "dragon inside di seas" na picture of Pharaoh as one big river-animal wey dey struggle inside di Nile — no be say na real monster, but na di proud-and-destroy power of Egypt. Na dis be wetin di Oga Papa talk: I go spread my net on top you wit plenty-plenty people, and dem go drag you comot wit my big net. I go throw you for ground, comot you for open field; I go make all di birds of di sky land on top you, and di animals of all di earth go chop you belleful. I go scatter your flesh on top di mountains and full di valleys wit your dead body. I go soak di land wit your blood wey dey flow reach di mountains, and di deep gutters go full wit you. As I dey quench you, I go cover di heavens and make dem stars dark; wit cloud I go cover di sun, and di moon no go shine im light. I go make all di lights wey dey shine for heaven dark on top you, and I go bring darkness for your land, na so di Oga Papa talk. I go trouble di heart of plenty people wen I bring news of your fall among di nations, go reach lands wey you never know. I go make plenty people shock because of you, and dem kings go shake wit fear because of you wen I wave my sword for dem front. For di day wey you go fall, dem go dey shake no stop, each one for im own life. Because na dis be wetin di Oga Papa talk: Di sword of di king of Babylon go come against you. Wit di sword of warriors I go make your crowd fall—dem wey wicked pass all di nations. Dem go break di pride of Egypt, and all im crowd go scatter finish. I go wipe comot all im cattle from di side of di plenty waters; no human leg go make dem dirty again, and di leg of cattle no go shake dem again. Den I go make dem waters calm and make dem rivers dey flow like oil, na so di Oga Papa talk. Wen I go make di land of Egypt turn waste place, comot everything wey full am, wen I strike down all di people wey dey live inside am, den dem go know say na me be di Papa.

Dis na sorrow-song; dem go sing am. Di daughters of di nations go sing am for Egypt and all im crowds; dem go sing am, na so di Oga Papa talk.

For di twelfth year, for di fifteenth day of di month, di word of our Papa come reach me:

Pikin of man, cry loud for di crowds of Egypt; send am go down—am and di daughters of di mighty nations—go di world wey dey down, wit dem wey dey go down inside di pit. Who you fine pass? Go down and lie down rest wit dem wey no circumcise. b b v19 'Dem wey no circumcise' na di people wey dey outside di Covenant — na word of shame for di dead wey dem no honor. Dem go fall among dem wey sword don kill. Di sword don comot; drag am comot wit all im crowds. From inside di grave di mighty leaders go talk about am, wit im helpers: Dem don go down, dem dey lie down there—dem wey no circumcise, wey sword don kill. Assyria dey there wit all im gathering, im graves surround am, all of dem don die, dem fall by di sword, dem graves dey for di deepest part of di pit, im gathering surround im grave, all of dem don die, dem fall by di sword—dem wey before-before bin dey spread fear for di land of di living. Elam dey there wit all im crowd surround im grave, all of dem don die, dem fall by di sword—dem wey go down wey no circumcise reach di world wey dey down, wey before-before bin dey spread dem fear for di land of di living. Now dem dey carry dem shame wit dem wey dey go down inside di pit. Dem prepare bed for am among di dead people, wit all im crowd, im graves surround am—all of dem no circumcise, wey sword don kill. Because dem spread fear for di land of di living, dem dey carry dem shame wit dem wey dey go down inside di pit; dem put dem among di dead people. Meshech and Tubal dey there wit all dem crowd, dem graves surround dem, all of dem no circumcise, wey sword don pierce, because dem spread dem fear for di land of di living. Dem no dey lie down wit di old warriors wey don fall, wey go down go di grave wit dem weapons of war, wey dem put dem sword under dem head and wey dem sin dey on top dem bones—because di fear of dis warriors bin don full di land of di living before. But you too, dem go break you among dem wey no circumcise and you go lie down wit dem wey sword don kill. Edom dey there, im kings and all im princes, wey, wit all dem power, dem lay dem wit dem wey sword don kill; dem lie down wit dem wey no circumcise, wit dem wey dey go down inside di pit. All di princes of di north dey there, and all di people of Sidon, wey go down wit shame wit di dead people even wit di fear wey dem power bin cause before; dem lie down wey no circumcise wit dem wey sword don kill and dem dey carry dem shame wit dem wey dey go down inside di pit. Pharaoh go see dem and im heart go calm about all im crowd—Pharaoh and all im army, wey sword don kill, na so di Oga Papa talk. Because I spread im fear for di land of di living; so dem go lay am among dem wey no circumcise, wit dem wey sword don kill—Pharaoh and all im crowd, na so di Oga Papa talk.
