Dem go blow blast wen e time for dem to comot. ⁷But wen you wan call di whole assembly gada, blow steady sound, no be alarm. ⁸Aaron im sons, di priests, na dem go blow di trumpet dem—dis one na law wey go last for una throway all una generations. ⁹Wen you go war for una land against di enemy wey dey crush una, blow alarm for di trumpet dem—dem go remember una before me, and una go dey save from una enemies. ¹⁰So too for una day of joy, for di feasts wey dem set and for di new moon, blow di trumpet dem over una burnt offering dem and over una peace offering dem—dis go be memorial for una before our Papa. Na me be una Papa.”
