Come, buy wine and milk without paying anything—na free. 2Why you dey spend money on wetin no be bread, and you dey work hard for wetin no dey satisfy person? Listen well well to me, and chop wetin good, and your soul go enjoy di sweetest food. 3Open your ear come to me; listen, so that your soul go live. I go make Covenant wey no dey end with you, my faithful love wey I promise David. a a v3 Paul quote dis verse for Acts 13:34 about how Jesus rise from death — our Papa Covenant wey no dey end with David find im full meaning inside Christ wey rise from death. 4See, I don appoint am as witness to di people, as leader and commander of di people. 5For true, you go call nation wey you no know, and nation wey no know you go run come you, because of your Papa, di Holy One of Israel, because he don give you glory."
6Find our Papa while you fit still find am; call am while he dey near. 7Make di wicked man comot for im way, and di man wey no dey do correct-and-holy way comot for im thoughts. Make am return to our Papa, and our Papa im belle go dey pain am for di man; return to our Papa, because he go free-free forgive.
8"For my thoughts no be your thoughts, and your ways no be my ways,' na so our Papa talk. 9'For just as di heavens high pass di earth, na so my ways high pass your ways, and my thoughts pass your thoughts.
10"For just as di rain and di snow dey come down from heaven and no dey return there, but dey water di earth, dey make am produce and sprout, dey give seed to di person wey dey plant and bread to di people wey dey chop, 11na so my word wey comot from my mouth go be: e no go return to me empty, but e go do wetin I want and go achieve di purpose wey I send am. 12You go comot with joy and dem go lead you comot with peace; di mountains and di hills go burst into singing before you, and all di trees of di field go clap dem hand. 13Instead of di thornbush, di cypress go grow, and instead of di brier, di myrtle go grow. Dis one go be for di renown of our Papa, sign wey no dey end wey dem no go fit cut off.'"
