1 Dat time, plenny peopo an dea wifes stay squawk bout how da odda Jew ohana guys make to dem. 2 Some a dem tell, “Us guys, oua kids, an plenny odda peopo, we all gotta get wheat an stuff fo eat fo us no mahke.”

3 Odda peopo tell, “Da plants no stay grow dis year. Az why, fo get wheat an stuff fo eat, us guys sign paypas wit da rich Jew guys. We give um oua land fo plant, oua grape farm, an oua house, an dey give us money fo buy food. An if we no can pay um back, den we lose eryting.”

4 Odda peopo tell, “Us guys wen sign paypas fo oua land fo plant an fo oua grape farm, fo borrow money from oua peopo fo us pay da tax fo da Babylon King, an we lose eryting if we no can pay um back. 5 But us get da same blood an bones jalike da peopo from oua ohana dat we stay borrow da money from. Oua kids an dea kids, same ting. But us guys, we gotta sell oua boys an girls to dem fo make um come slaves, an some a da girls, dey slaves awready. Us no mo powa! Get odda Jew peopo dat take ova oua land fo plant, an oua grape farms too!”

6 Wen I hear how oua peopo stay yell fo help, an all da stuff dey tell, I come plenny huhu. 7 ✡5:7: Outa 22:25; Pries 25:35-37; Rules2 23:19-20Afta I tink plenny bout all dat, I take da alii guys an da govmen guys in front da judge. I tell all dem guys, “How come you guys stay take tings from yoa peopo?! You charge mo fo loan um money, an den wen dey no can pay, you charge um some moa!”

Az why I tell all da peopo fo come togedda fo do someting bout dem guys.

8 Wen erybody come togedda, I tell um, “Us guys, we stay buy back oua Jew braddah guys dat befo time peopo wen sell to da odda peopos fo make um slaves. Nuff awready, fo us guys do dat. But now, some a you guys, you stay sell yoa braddahs! An den, we gotta buy dem back too! No ways!”

Da rich guys, dey no tell notting cuz dey no mo notting fo tell.

9 Den I tell, “Da tings you guys stay do, dass not right! Mo betta you guys live da way dat show you guys sked a God! Az how da odda peopos dat stay agains us, no can say notting bad bout us! 10 Me an my braddahs, an da guys dat work fo me, we all stay lend money an wheat to da odda guys too. An we gotta no charge um too much too. 11 So, right now, give um back dea lands fo plant, dea grape farms, dea olive trees, an dea houses. Cuz you guys wen lend um money an wheat an wine an olive oil awready. But you wen charge um too much! Give um back da part dass to much!”

12 Dey tell, “We goin give um back eryting. We no goin aks fo notting no moa. We goin do um how you tell.” Den I tell da pries guys fo come, an I make da leada guys make one strong promise in front da pries guys fo do wat I tell um fo do. 13 Den I shake out da part a my robe wea I keep stuff, an I tell, “Erybody dat no do how dey wen promise, I like fo God shake dem outa dea house an all da stuffs dey wen work hard fo get fo dem no mo notting.”

All da peopo dat come togedda tell, “Az right! We gotta do um!” Dey tell good tings bout Da One In Charge. An dey go do jalike dey wen promise fo do.

14 From da time dat King Artaxerxes make me govna fo da Judah land, in da numba 20 year dat he was King, till da numba 32 year, dass 12 year, me an my braddahs had da right fo use da govmen money fo buy food. But we neva do dat. We buy oua food wit da money we get. 15 But da guys dat was govna befo me, dey wen make um hard fo da peopo. Dey wen make dem bring food an wine, an all dem gotta pay 40 silva coin. Even da guys dat work fo da odda govnas, dey wen ack jalike az okay fo dem tell da peopo wat fo do too. But I neva make lidat, cuz I sked wat God goin tell if I do dat. 16 I hang in dea fo do da work fo fix dis wall. I neva buy land, an all my worka guys stick togedda fo do da work. 17 Ery day I feed 150 peopo, da Jews an da govmen guys. Had odda guys dat wen come hea from odda countries aroun us guys dat I feed um too. 18 Ery day my peopo cook fo erybody one cow, six sheeps dat dey pick spesho fo us guys, an some chickens, an dey cook um fo me. Ery ten days gotta go get plenny diffren kine wine. Still yet, wit all dat food, I no aks fo da money I get da right fo use cuz I da govna, cuz dat make da peopo work mo hard fo do all dat.

19 Dis how I stay pray:
