17 An Jonathan tell David one mo time fo make dea spesho promise good, da one dat David wen make wit Jonathan befo time. Dass how Jonathan get love an aloha fo David, da same way David get love an aloha fo him.
18 Den Jonathan tell David, “Tomorra get da New Moon spesho kine religious kine ceremony. Dey goin know dat you no stay, cuz no mo nobody goin sit yoa place by da table.
19 Da day afta tomorra, wen litto mo ready fo da dark time come, go all da way down by da place wea you wen hide wen dis trouble start, an wait nea da pile up stone dat stay dea.
20 I goin shoot three arrows by da side a da stone, jalike I stay shoot one target.
