1 Oona wa got plenty ting, listen ta wa A gwine tell ya now. Oona oughta cry tommuch cause ob de suffrin wa da come pon oona! 2 De heapa ting wa oona got, dey done rot way, an de mot dem nyam op oona cloes. 3 Oona gole an silba done been kiba wid rust. An dat rust gwine condemn oona an gwine nyam op oona body jes like a fire kin do. Oona done sto op plenty ting een dis wol wa gwine end. 4 Look yah! Oona ain pay de people dem wa beena wok pon oona faam. Listen ta dem da cry out ginst oona! Dem wa beena geda crop da cry out. An God wa got powa oba all, e done yeh dey cry. 5 Oona life been full op wid all kinda fine ting dat oona been wahn an got een de wol, an oona beena do all wa oona wahn fa do. All dem ting yah wa oona got fa oonasef, dey mek oona like cow wa done fat, ready fa git kill. 6 Oona done condemn an kill people wa ain done nottin wrong, an ain fight ginst oona.

7 Me Christian bredren, beah op onda all oona trouble, da wait til de Lawd come back. Memba how de faama kin wait fom wen e plant de seed een de groun til de time come fa haabis e walyable crop. E kin beah ebryting, da wait fa de rain fa come een de fall an een de spring time. 8 Same way so, oona mus beah op onda ebryting an wait. Mus dohn neba gii op, cause de time da come soon wen de Lawd gwine come back.

9 Me Christian bredren, mus dohn grumble bout one noda, so dat God ain gwine jedge oona. De Jedge gwine come right way. E da stan een de doormout. 10 Me Christian bredren, memba de prophet dem wa beena taak de wod ob de Lawd. Dey beena suffa plenty, bot dey beah all dey fliction. 11 We say God bless um cause dey ain gii op. Oona yeh how Job beena beah a heapa suffrin, an oona know how de Lawd come bless um at las. Cause de Lawd full op wid mussy fa we, an e wahn fa hep we.

12 Me bredren, mo den all, A wahn oona fa know, wen oona promise sompin, mus dohn mek no wow da say, “A sweah by heaben” or “A sweah by dis wol.” Mus dohn sweah by nottin wen oona promise sompin. Stead ob dat, ef oona gree ta sompin, oona oughta say, “Yeah.” An ef oona ain gree, oona oughta say, “No.” Den God ain gwine condemn oona.

13 Ef one ob oona da suffa, leh um aks God fa hep um. Ef one ob oona heppy, leh um sing, leh um sing praise ta God. 14 Ef one ob oona sick, leh um aks fa de choch elda dem. Leh um come pray oba um an naint um wid oll een de name ob de Lawd. 15 An ef dey trus God, dat e gwine ansa dey pray, dat sick poson gwine git well. God gwine mek um well gin. An ef dat poson beena sin, God gwine paadon um. 16 So den, tell one noda de sin dem wa oona done an be saary cause ob um, an pray fa one noda, so dat God gwine mek oona well. De one wa da waak scraight wid God, e pray got great powa an God gwine ansa um fa sho. 17 Elijah been a man like wesef. E pray wid all e haat dat God ain gwine leh no rain come. An e ain rain none tall pon de groun dey fa shree yeah an six mont. 18 Den wen Elijah pray gin, an aks God fa sen rain, de rain come down, an de plant dem staat fa grow crop gin.

19 Me bredren, ef one ob oona da wanda way fom God true way, an den noda one ob oona bring um back, 20 oona kin know, de one wa bring one sinna back ta God way, an hep um ton fom do bad, dat poson da sabe de sinna soul fom det, an God gwine paadon plenty sin.
