13 I go ponish am for all doz times wey e forget mi kon dey burn incense give Baal and dey run follow en lovers with all di gold wey e wear. Mi, wey bi God, don tok.
For dis time, Ahazaya fall from en ofis window for Samaria kon bigin sick. So e koll and send messenjas kon tell dem, “Make una go meet Baal-Zebub wey bi Ekron god kon ask weda I go die or not.”
E ribuild di high place dem wey en papa Hezekaya bin distroy; e build altars for Baal juju kon make Asherah juju, just as King Ahab do for Israel. E dey bow and woship stars for sky.
Naw make yu dey go; karry di pipol go di place wey I bin tell yu! Si, my angel go lead yu. Wen di day rish wen I go judge each pesin akordin to wetin e do, den I go ponish evribody for dia sin.”
for dia sins and dia grand-grand papa own. Dem don burn incense for juju hills kon tok bad tins about mi. So I go ponish dem for wetin dem don do pass.”
Judah pipol gods plenty, just as di towns wey dem get. And as Jerusalem street plenty rish, na so too di altar wey dem build for Baal juju, plenty too.
But my pipol don forget mi, dem dey burn incense give juju and na dis make dem fall komot for di way wey dem suppose follow. Dem nor dey follow di road wey I show dem, instead dem dey follow di road wey nor smooth at-all.
Dis na wetin di Oga wey bi Israel God tok about di rulers wey suppose kare for en pipol: Bikos una nor kare for my pipol and una skata and drive dem komot, I go ponish una for di wiked tins wey una do.
For Judah town and Jerusalem street, I go make sure sey nobody dey shaut or happy with joy sey pesin dey marry. Dis na bikos di whole land dey empty and dirty don full der.”
Jerusalem road dey mourn, bikos nobody dey pass der go celebrate again. Di town gate kwayet and pain won kill di priests dem. Di yong wimen dey kry, bikos di trobol wey dem dey face, too mush!
Some of una dey kill pipol, bikos of money. Some dey put intrest for di money wey dem borrow dia kountry man and dem dey get plenty gain thru dat one. Dem don forget mi.” Dis na wetin God wey get pawa tok.
Before-before, wen Efraim pipol dey tok, di oda tribes for Israel dey fear and respet dem. But naw, Efraim pipol dey woship Baal juju and dis tin kon distroy dem.
E go run follow en lovers, but e nor go fit katch dem. E go find dem, but e nor go si dem. Den e go sey, “I go-go back to my first husband. I betta well-well den wen I dey with am, pass as I dey naw.”
Dem dey offa sakrifice on-top mountin kon burn incense for di hills and under evry tall tree, bikos dem dey enjoy di shade! Bikos of dis, una dotas dey do ashawo and una dota in-law dey sleep with oda pipol husband.
My pipol don die finish bikos dem nor know mi. Since di priests don rijet mi, misef go rijet dem as my priests. Since una don forget una Oga God laws, misef go forget to bless una shidren.
Israel pipol build royal palis, but dem don forget who kreate dem. Judah pipol don build many strong town, but I go send fire go burn dia palis and di towns rish groun.”
Di time to ponish Israel don rish; di time wey pipol go get wetin dem deserve. Dat time, Israel pipol go know wen e happen! Una sey, ‘Dis profet na fool. Dis man wey feel sey e know well-well, dey kraze!’ Una hate mi well-well, bikos una sin too many.
“I go turn una festival to burial kon shange una happiness to kry. I go make una kut una hair kon wear sak klot, den I go make una mourn like sey una only pikin just die. Dat day go bitter well-well.
Israel pipol sin against God, bikos dem kon dey woship Baal, Ashtoret and Siria, Sidon, Moab, Ammon and Filistia pipol gods. Dem forget God kon stop to woship am.
“But dem forget di Oga wey bi dia God, so E give dem to Sisera wey bi oga for Hazor sojas, den to Filistia pipol; Moab pipol king and dem kon fight and opress Israel pipol.
