Dem know mi as Oga God; naw I dey tell yu, 3 “Koll mi wen yu dey pray and I go ansa yu; I go tell yu great and wonderful tins wey yu nor know about. 4 Mi, di Oga wey bi Israel God sey, war and wahala go skata all di house for Jerusalem and di royal palis for Judah. 5 Una won go fight Babilon pipol, but una sojas nor betta pass doz wey don die, bikos as I dey vex, I don make up my mind to distroy dem. I don turn from dem, bikos of dia wikedness. 6 But I go heal di town and en pipol kon make dem well again. I go give dem peace forever and dem go dey save. 7 I go make Israel and Judah pipol prosper and I go build dem as dem bi before. 8 I go forgive dem dia sin. Yes!

Una go hear pipol dey sing as dem dey kom tank mi with dia ofrin. Dem go sey, ‘Make wi tank God wey dey mighty, bikos E good well-well and en love dey forever.’ I go make dis land prosper as e bi before.

14 God sey, “Di time dey kom wen I go do wetin I promise Israel and Judah pipol. 15 For dat time, I go choose king wey dey raitious from David shidren-shidren.
“Di king go do wetin dey korrect and good for evriwhere for di land. 16 As e dey rule, Judah pipol go dey save, while Jerusalem pipol go stay for peace. For dat time, dem go koll Jerusalem town, ‘God Don Save Us.’ 17 Mi wey bi God, promise sey na only David shidren-shidren go always bi king for Israel 18 and na from only Levi tribe priest go for always kom and serve, offa burnt ofrin, korn ofrin and sakrifice for mi.”

Na dis make dem nor dey respet my pipol at-all, bikos dem nor si dem as strong nashon again. 25 But mi wey bi God don make kovenant with di nite and day and I don make di law wey dey kontrol di heaven and eart. 26 Since I don do dis tin, I go keep my kovenant with my savant Jakob and David shidren-shidren. I go choose one of David shidren-shidren make e rule ova Abraham, Isaak and Jakob shidren-shidren. I go sorry for my pipol kon make dem prosper again.”
