10Da brudda dat stay rich, he can feel good inside too, cuz he know dat da rich kine stuffs he get, no goin stay foeva, an he goin mahke too, jalike da wild flower dry up.
11Da sun go up an come real hot, an make da plant dry up. Den da flower fall down, an da plant no look nice no mo. Same ting fo da rich brudda -- he stay making his money, but still yet, he goin mahke.

14Az our own fault wen we start fo tink, “Eh, I like do da bad kine stuff!” Cuz da bad tinking pull us all ova. We come jalike da fish dat go afta da bait.
15Cuz first we tink, “Eh, I like do um,” an den we go do um. Jalike da hapai wahine too, she no can stop da baby wen ready fo come. Same ting, we no can stop doing da bad kine stuff. An dass wat goin cut us off from God.
16Eh my good friends! No let nobody bulai you guys.
17Everytime somebody give you someting nice an spesho, all dat come from yoa Fadda up dea inside da sky. He wen make all da lights inside da sky -- da sun, an moon, an stars. But God no change jalike da tings inside da sky.
18God wen plan dis fo us: He tell us guys wass true. Az how he wen give us his kine life. From all da tings he wen make hea inside da world, he make us guys spesho kine, jalike us da bestes fruits, da kine dat da farma guy pick first fo make present to God.
19Eh, my good friends! Rememba dis: You guys know dis stuff awready. Weneva you hear somebody talk, everybody gotta listen real good first befo dey talk. Dat way, dey no get all huhu quick time.
20Cuz wen you come all huhu, dat no help you fo do da right kine stuff God say you suppose to do.
21So den, throw out all da pilau kine stuff, an da bad kine stuff dat stay all ova da place. No get big head. Mo betta listen to wat God say. He wen put da tings he say inside you guys awready, an dass strong nuff fo take you guys outa da bad kine stuff you stay in.
22An no ony listen to da tings God say, now. You guys gotta do um! Cuz if you ony listen, you ony fooling yoaself.
23Da guy who ony like hear, an no like do notting, he jalike one guy dat check out his face inside da mirror.
24An wen da guy go way, awready he no can rememba wat kine face he get.
25But everyting God tell his peopo dey gotta do, dass perfeck, cuz dass wat can hemo you from all da bad kine stuff. So den, if you go check out real good da Rules from God, an no foget wat you wen hear, an stay do um, eh! you goin feel real good inside cuz you stay doing um.
26If one guy figga he everytime do wat God like, but no can hold back his mout, his religion wase time, cuz he ony fooling himself!
27God our Fadda, he tink lidis: Da guy dat stay religious fo real kine, an no do notting pilau, he da one goin kokua da peopo dat get hard time -- da kids dat no mo fadda o mudda, an da wahines dat no mo husban fo take care dem. Dat kine guy, he no goin let da peopo inside da world make him do bad kine stuff.
