Luke 16 - Kushti Lavs (Romany Selections) 1981

The Rich Man and Lazarus

¹⁹ There was a rich mush, with kushti-dicking purple togs. Every divvus his hobben was kushti.

²⁰ By his jigger suttied a poor mush called Lazarus. Lazarus dicked wafedi, riffly as a juk.

²¹ He was ready to scran anything he could get his vasters on or kur it from the rich mush's table. The jukels jassed up to lick his riffly skin.

²² One divvus he mullered and angels kurred him opre to besh by Abraham in heaven. The rich mush mullered too

²³ and was buried. From the mullo-tan it was so wafedi, he dicked up to Abraham, a long way away, with Lazarus by him.

²⁴ So he pukkered, “Father Abraham, have mercy on mandi. Putch Lazarus to kur pani on his vaster and put it on my mui, this yog akai is too tatto for mandi.”

²⁵ But Abraham rokkered, “Chavvi, remember when you were alive, you had the kushti kovels and Lazarus had the wafedi kovels. Now he's got it kushti akai and you've got it wafedi.

²⁶ What's more, a bori canyon has been kurred between you and us, and no one can jell across it.”

²⁷ So he putched Abraham, “I'm monging you, Father Abraham, send Lazarus to my daddrus' ker.

²⁸ I've got five brothers, he could pukker them so they don't have to come to this wafedi mullo-tan.”

²⁹ But Abraham rokkered, “Your brothers can read Moses and the old rashais' lils, let them shun their lavs.”

³⁰ Lazarus rokkered, “Kak, Father Abraham, but if a mullo jells to them, they'll change their ways.”

³¹ But Abraham penned lesti, “If they can't shun the lavs of Moses and the old rashais' lils they won't believe even if they shun a mullo.”
