2 Wetin God for heaven choose for us?
Wetin wi go gain from di Almighty wey dey heaven?
3 Shebi trobol na for doz wey dey do bad tins

4 God know evritin wey I dey do;
E dey si evry step wey I dey take.
5 I neva do wiked tin before
and I neva ever lie to anybody.
6 Make God just test mi weda I dey klean
and E go si sey I nor do any bad tin.

and make e sleep for anoda man bed.
11 Bikos dat go bi big shame

12 Make e bi like hell-fire wey dey distroy tins;

13 If any of my savant komplain give mi,

14 If I nor dey do dem well, how I won take face God?
Wetin I won tok if God kom judge mi?
15 Na di same God wey kreate mi,
kreate my savants too.
16 I dey always help poor pipol;
I neva let wimen wey nor get husband live for pain
17 or allow shidren wey nor get papa and mama dey hongry,
while I dey chop.
18 Na since wen I small I don dey kare for doz wey

I go always dey kare for wimen wey dia husband don die.
19 If I si pesin wey nor get at-all;
wey won die, bikos e nor get wetin to wear,
20 I go gi-am klot wey dem use my own animal wool take make.
Den e go tank mi with en hold heart.
21 If I don ever do bad to

bikos I know sey I go win di matter
wen wi go kourt,
22 den make my hand break.
Make e break
komot from my shoulder.
23 But bikos I dey fear God ponishment,
I nor fit do dat kind tin.
24 I neva ever bilive money.

25 or kom dey karry body,

26 I neva ever woship sun,

27 I neva for one day like dem rish wen I go

28 Na deat dem take dey reward dat kind sin;
bikos e go mean sey I nor honor God name.
29 I neva happy wons, bikos my enemies dey sofa;
or dey for peace, bikos dem dey face trobol.
30 I neva ever pray make dem die,
bikos if I do like dat, God nor go forgive mi.
31 My savants neva ever sey,
‘Awa oga let hunga kill some pipol.’
32 Doz wey dey travel, I dey koll dem enter my house
and I nor dey let dem travel or sleep for road wen nite rish.
33 Oda pipol dey try to hide dia sin, but I neva ever hide my own.
34 I nor dey kwayet or stay for inside house,
bikos I dey fear sey pipol go curse or tok against mi.
Job Beg God

I swear sey evry word wey I dey tok na true.
Make God kom ansa mi.
Make dem rite wetin my enemies tok about mi,
so dat I go si dem.
36 I go karry dem without shame for my shoulder
kon wear dem like king crown.
37 I go dey proud to tell God evritin wey I don do.

Job Swear
38 “If I tif di land wey I for dey farm
or take am from di original owner,
39 or chop di food wey grow for der,
so dat di owner nor go si chop,
40 den instead of fruit or korn to grow, make bush
