De Postle Dem 17:19-30

¹⁹So den, dem people grab hole ta Paul an cyaa um ta de council wa meet een Areopagus hill. Dey tell Paul say, “We wahn fa know bout dis nyew ting ya da laan we.

²⁰Some ob dem ting wa ya da say, we ain neba been yeh. We wahn fa know wa dey mean.”

²¹(Cause all de people dat bon een Athens, an dem wa come dey, dey like fa come ebry day an yeh bout any nyew ting, an taak bout um.)

²²Paul stanop fo de council dat beena meet pon Areopagus hill. E tell de people say, “Oona people ob Athens! A know oona da woshup a heapa god dem.

²³Cause wiles A beena waak roun oona town, A beena see all de place dem weh oona da woshup dem god. A eben see one place dey weh oona been write pon de stone alta say, ‘Fa de god dat we ain know.’ Dat God dat oona da woshup op, dat one oona ain know, dat de God A come fa tell oona bout now.

²⁴God, wa mek de wol an ebryting een de wol, e de Lawd ob heaben an eart. An e ain lib een no house dat we people een dis wol build fa woshup um op.

²⁵God ain need nottin dat we kin gim wid we han dem. Cause e de one wa da gii all people life an bret an ebryting.

²⁶God mek one man, an fom dat man e mek ebry nation, all de people fa lib all oba de wol. Fo God mek um, e been pick out de zact time fa dem fa stay een de wol, an de place weh dey gwine lib.

²⁷God do dis fa mek people look fa um, da hope dat dey gwine reach out ta um an find um. Stillyet, God dey dey close ta we all.

²⁸Jes like somebody done say, ‘God de one dat mek we lib. E da mek we able fa moob an waak roun. E da mek we able fa do ebryting we da do!’ Like eben some ob oona own poet done say, ‘We all God chullun.’

²⁹So den, cause we God chullun, we ain oughta tink dat we people kin tek gole or silba or stone an mek sompin like God. No! God ain nottin like wa we kin mek, eben ef we know how fa mek um too good.

³⁰Fo dis time, God ain blame people fa wen dey ain know how e wahn um fa find um. Bot now God da tell all people ebryweh. E da chaage um say dey mus ton fom dey sinful way an dohn do um no mo.
