Come Near, All Una Nations
Dem call nations make dem hear something wey terrible: our Papa sword don full with blood for Edom, blood dey for mountain dem, stream dem turn to pitch, and smoke no dey ever stop to rise. Owl and jackal go inherit the ruins, wey dem measure with line of chaos. No relief dey — na only vindication for Zion.
34 1Come near, una nations, come listen; make una pay attention, una peoples! Make di earth hear, and everytin wey full am, di world, and everytin wey e dey bring komot. 2Bicos vex don full our Papa belle against all di nations, and im anga dey against all dia armies. E don hand dem over to destruction, don give dem over make dem slaughter dem. 3Dem go throway dia dead bodi, di stink of dia corpse go rise, and blood go dey flow for di mountains. 4All di stars for heaven go rotten komot, and dem go roll di skies up like scroll. All dat army of stars go dry up, like leaf wey dey dry and fall komot from di vine, like fig wey shrivel from di fig tree.
5Wen my sword don drink im belleful for heaven, look—e dey come down to judge Edom, on top di people wey I don hand over to destruction. 6Our Papa get sword; e don soak with blood, e don full with fat, with di blood of lamb and goat, with di fat of di kidney of ram. Bicos our Papa get sacrifice for Bozrah, big slaughter for di land of Edom. 7Di wild oxen go fall with dem, and di young bulls with di mighty ones. Dia land go drink im belleful of blood, and dia soil go full with fat. 8Bicos our Papa get day of justice, year wen E go defend di case of Zion. 9Edom streams go turn to pitch, her soil go turn to sulfur, and her land go bikom pitch wey dey burn. 10Night and day dem no go quench am; im smoke go dey rise forever. From generation to generation e go lie waste; nobody go pass through am again forever. 11Di desert owl and di screech owl go take am own; di great owl and di raven go dwell inside am. Our Papa go stretch di measuring line of chaos on top am, and di plumb line of emptiness. 12Her nobles no go get anytin dere to call kingdom, and all her princes go kom to notin. 13Thorns go overgrow her strongholds, nettles and brambles go cover her fortresses. E go bikom hiding place for jackals, home for ostriches. 14Wildcats go meet with hyenas, and wild goats go dey call one anoda; dere too di night creature go settle and find place wia she go rest. 15Dere di owl go make nest and lay her eggs, hatch dem and gada her young ones under her shadow; dere too di hawks go gada, each one with her mate.
16Search di scroll of our Papa and read: not even one of dis ones go dey miss, not even one go lack her mate. Bicos im mouth don command am, and im Spirit don gada dem. 17E don cast di lot for dem; im hand don measure out dia portion with di line. Dem go take am own forever and dwell dere from generation to generation.
