2 Oga God, e don tey wen I dey kry make Yu kom help mi,
but Yu nor gri ansa!

But Yu nor still gri kom save mi.
3 Why Yu allow mi dey face dis kind trobol?
Must I si all dis wahala wey dey happen to mi?
Anywhere wey I look, na only wahala and distroshon I dey si.
Na pipol wey love to kworel and fight, dey round mi.
4 Bikos of dis, di law dey weak and yuzles and doz wey dey judge,
nor dey judge well at-all.
Wiked men dey opress good pipol;
dem don turn betta judgement up-side-down.
God Ansa
5 God ansa,
“Make yu look di nashons well and wetin yu go si,
go sopraiz yu!
I go do sometin naw wey yu still dey alive
and even wen pesin tell yu,
yu nor go bilive.
6 I won give Babilon pipol pawa;
doz wiked pipol wey nor dey sorry for odas.
Dem go mash round di world
kon seize all di oda nashons.
7 Pipol dey fear dem well-well
and dem dey do wetin dem like.
8 Dia horse fast pass leopard
and e wiked pass wolf for desert.
Dia men dey ride di horse kom;
dem bi like eagle wey
dey rush go kill en enemy.
9 All of dem dey kom with wahala;
dey rush dey kom like breeze for desert
and dem go gada di pipol wey dem katch
like sey dem dey gada san.
10 Dem dey ponish kings
and use dia leaders make yeye.
Dem dey laf all dia strong-strong towns.
Dem dey kover towns with san-san kon seize dem.
11 Dem dey pass like breeze wey dey blow.
But dem really dey guilty,
bikos dem bilive sey, na dia pawa as dia god.”
Habakkuk Komplain Again
12 My Oga God, di Pesin wey dey holy,
Yu wey dey since and go always dey.
Oga God wey bi awa Rock,

Yu only send Babilon pipol to kom korrect and ponish us
bikos of awa sin.
13 Yor eyes too dey holy to si bad tins
and Yu nor dey like si pipol wey dey do wiked tins.
So wetin make Yu dey sorry for dem?
Wetin make Yu kwayet wen wiked pipol

14 Yu dey trit pipol like fish for sea
