3 Ahijah stay wit dem too. His faddah was Ikabod braddah Ahitub, an his granfaddah was Finehas, Eli boy (dass da Eli guy dat befo time was Da One In Charge pries guy Shiloh town). Now, Ahijah, he da pries guy dat wear da spesho kine ves cuz he da Main Pries Guy.
No mo nobody know dat Jonathan wen go way from dea awready.
4 On da two sides a da pass wea Jonathan gotta go across fo attack da Filisha army guys, get one cliff. Da cliff one side a da pass get da name Bozez, an da cliff da odda side, Senneh.
5 You look in front you, from da north side cliff, get Mikmash down dea, an you look in front you, from da south side cliff, get Geba down dea.
6 Jonathan tell da young guy dat carry his stuff fo fight, “Go come, we go ova da pass by wea dose guys stay dat neva cut skin jalike God peopo. Maybe Da One In Charge go do someting fo help me an you. Da One In Charge goin win, no matta he get plenny guys o litto bit guys.”
7 His helpa guy tell um, “Do eryting you tink fo do. I stay tight wit you an ready fo go all out.”
8 Jonathan tell, “Kay den! We go ova dea nea da guys an let dem see us.
9 If dey tell us, ‘Okay, wait dea till we come by you guys,’ we goin stay wea we stay now, an no go up dea by dem.
10 But if dey tell, ‘Okay, come up hea by us guys,’ we goin go up, cuz dat goin be da sign dat show us dat Da One In Charge stay give dem to us guys.”
11 So da two a dem let da Filisha army guys see um. Da Filisha guys tell, “Eh! Look! Get Hebrew guys stay come outa da hole wea dey stay hide!”
12 Da Filisha army guys yell to Jonathan an his helpa guy, “Go come up hea by us guys! We like teach you guys someting!”

13 Jonathan use his hands an feets fo climb up, an his helpa guy climb right in back a him. Jonathan wack da Filisha guys an dey fall down in front him. Den his helpa guy come afta an kill um all.
14 Az was da firs time da Israel guys attack da Filisha guys. Jonathan an his helpa guy kill bout twenny Filisha guys inside one place bout one half acre big.

24 Dat same day, da Israel army guys get even mo presha, cuz Saul make dem make one strong promise to him. He tell, “I goin put one kahuna on top anybody dat go eat food today! Cuz firs, I gotta pay back da buggahs dat stay agains me befo da sun go down! Afta dat, den you can eat.” Az why nobody eat notting dat day cuz was kapu.
25 All da army guys go inside da fores, wea had some honey on top da groun.
26 Wen dey go inside da fores, dey spock da honey stay coming out, but nobody like touch um an eat um cuz dey sked a da kapu.
27 But Jonathan neva hear da kine kahuna dat his faddah wen put on top da army guys. He poke his stick fo walk inside da honey place. He eat some honey, an he smile cuz make him feel real good.
28 One a da army guys tell um, “Yoa faddah make us army guys make one strong promise. He tell, ‘I goin put one kahuna on top anybody dat go eat food today! Cuz firs, I gotta pay back da buggahs dat stay agains me! An I goin pay um back befo da sun go down! Afta dat, den you can eat.’ Az why now all us guys stay wasted!”

30 Fo shua, stay mo betta today, if da guys wen eat some a da stuffs dey rip off from da Filisha army guys! But dey no do dat! If dey wen eat, den we can kill even mo plenny Filisha guys!”
31 Dat time, afta da Israel guys wack da Filisha guys all da way from Mikmas to Aijalon, da Israel guys come plenny wasted.
32 Dey now jump on top da Filisha guys stuffs, an take da sheeps, da cows, an da bebe cows. Dey kill da animals on top da groun, an eat um, but dey neva get rid a all da blood jalike dey suppose to.

39 Fo shua, Da One In Charge stay alive, da one stay get us guys outa trouble. An fo shua too, no matta who wen do da bad ting, even if was my boy Jonathan wen do um, dey gotta mahke.” But nobody from all da army guys tell um notting.
40 Den Saul tell da Israel guys, “You guys stan ova dea. Me an my boy Jonathan goin stan ova hea.”
Da guys tell, “Watevas you tink stay good, do um awready.”
41 Den Saul pray to Da One In Charge, “You, da God fo da Israel peopo! Show who neva do notting bad, an who wen do someting bad!” Den dey pull straw, an Jonathan an Saul get da blame, an da army guys stay good.
42 Saul tell, “We go pull straw one mo time fo pick me o my boy Jonathan.” An so, was Jonathan dat get da blame.
43 Den Saul aks Jonathan, “Wat you wen do?!”
So Jonathan tell him, “I ony taste litto bit honey dat stay on top my stick fo walk, on da end. So jus cuz a dat, I gotta mahke, o wat?!”
44 Saul tell, “You gotta mahke, Jonathan, o God goin pay me back plenny moa!”

Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, us guys stay shua too, dat not even one hair from Jonathan head goin fall on top da groun.
