Abraham
So den, Abraham, da ancesta guy dat us Jew guys all come from, you know wat he wen figga bout wat make um come right wit God?
Dis wat us guys can tell: If Abraham wen get um right wit God cuz a da stuffs he wen do, den he can go talk big bout dat. But in front God, he no can talk big notting.
Dis wat da Bible tell:
“Abraham wen trus God,
Dass why God wen tell dat Abraham get um right wit him.”
Wen get one guy dat work, his boss pay him fo dat. Da pay not one present—dass wat da boss owe um. God da One dat get da right fo tell whoeva trus him, dey da one dat get um right wit him, no matta dey neva kea bout God befo time. No can work fo get um right wit God. Ony gotta trus God, an den God goin tell dat you stay right wit him.
Same ting fo David. He wen talk bout how peopo stay good inside wen God tell dat dey get um right wit him, an dey neva work notting fo dat. He tell:
“Da peopo dat wen broke da Rules From God,
God let um go,
An hemo dea shame.
Az why dey stay good inside!
Da peopo dat wen do da bad kine stuffs,
God hemo dem from all da bad kine stuffs dey wen do.
Peopo can stay good inside
Wen Da One In Charge no make one lis
A da bad kine stuff dey wen do.”
You tink az ony da Jew guys dat get da cut skin mark da ones can stay good inside cuz dey get um right wit God, an da odda guys no can? You know awready, we tell dat Abraham wen trus God, an cuz a dat, God tell dat Abraham get um right wit him. 10 You know wen God tell all dat? You tink was afta Abraham get da cut skin mark, o befo he get da mark? Eh, was befo, not afta!
11  Bumbye Abraham get da cut skin mark. Dat show proof dat he wen trus God. Was befo Abraham get da cut skin mark dat God tell dat Abraham get um right wit him. Dass how Abraham wen come jalike da faddah fo erybody dat trus God, an God wen tell dey get um right wit him, no matta dey no mo da cut skin mark. 12 Same ting fo da Jew guys dat get da cut skin mark too, Abraham stay jalike dea faddah. But not ony cuz dey get da cut skin mark, but cuz dey trus Christ jalike Abraham trus God befo he get da cut skin mark.
We Trus God, An We Get Wat He Promise
13  God wen promise Abraham an his ohana dat come afta him, dat bumbye he goin own da whole world. God tell dat cuz Abraham wen trus God, an get um right wit him. But God neva tell dat Abraham get um right wit him ony cuz he do wat da Rules tell um fo do.
14  You know, get peopo dat ony like stick wit da Rules From God. Dey tink dey goin get wat God wen promise ony cuz a dat. Fo dem, fo trus God no mean notting, an poho da promise God wen make. 15 Wen get da Rules From God, goin get peopo dat broke um, an God goin had it wit dem. Wen no mo da Rules From God, no mo nobody goin broke um.
16  Dass why mo betta trus him. God like do plenny good tings fo da peopo dat trus him. Az why we know da promise God wen make stay solid fo all us guys dat come from Abraham. Dis not ony fo da peopo dat get da Rules From God, but da peopo dat same time trus God jalike Abraham. Cuz he jalike da faddah fo all us guys. 17  God tell inside da Bible befo time, “I make you da faddah fo plenny diffren kine peopos.” Fo shua God goin make dat promise solid, an God, he da One dat Abraham wen trus. God da One dat make peopo come back alive afta dey mahke. An he da One dat can tell fo make someting dat neva was befo time.
18  Abraham wen trus God an wen wait fo God do someting, even wen he neva see God do notting yet. Az how he come da faddah fo plenny diffren kine peopos, jalike da Bible befo time tell him, “Goin get plenny peopos come from you.” 19  Da way Abraham trus God, he no lose fight, no matta he figga, his body litto mo ready fo mahke, cuz he almos hundred year ol, an Sarah, she no can come hapai awready. 20 Abraham neva tink dat God no can do um, an den no trus God. Da way he trus God stay solid cuz he know how awesome God stay. 21 Abraham wen know fo shua dat wateva God wen promise fo do, he strong enuff fo do um. 22 Az why God figga dat Abraham get um right wit him.
23 Wen da Bible befo time tell how God figga dat, God no tell dat ony fo Abraham. 24 He tell um fo us guys too. God figga us get um right wit him too, if we trus him. Cuz God da One dat make Jesus Da One In Charge a us guys. He da One make Jesus come back alive afta he mahke. 25  Jesus wen mahke cuz us neva ack how us suppose to ack. An den, Jesus come back alive one mo time fo make us guys get um right wit God.
