Fight dem until yu don distroy all of dem.’ 19 But, wetin make yu nor obey God? Wetin make yu pak some tins kom? Naw make yu know sey yu nor obey God and E dey vex for yu.”
20 Den Saul tell Samuel, “But I don obey God! I go as E send mi. I bring Amalek king, Agag kom back, afta I don kill all of dem finish. 21 But di sojas take some for di best animals and tins, so dat dem go sakrifice am to di Oga yor God for Gilgal.”

23 Bikos to go against am, bi like wen pesin chop witch

So bikos yu don rijet di word wey God tell yu,
