I go do dis tin, bikos Solomon rijet mi kon bigin woship oda gods. E dey woship Astarte wey bi Sidon juju; Kemosh wey bi Moab pipol god and Milkom, wey Ammon pipol dey serve. Solomon nor obey mi; e dey do bad tins and e nor keep my laws and kommand, just as David en papa keep am.
Di king skata all di high place for Jerusalem east and Distroshon Mountin for sout, wey King Solomon build for Sidon pipol juju, Astarte and Kemosh di ashawo juju for Moab pipol, plus Ammon pipol juju wey bi Milkom.
Odas go ansa sey, ‘Na bikos dem nor obey di Oga wey bi dia grand-grand papa God; di One wey take dem komot from Egypt. Dem dey serve and woship oda god with all dia mind. Na dis make God dey ponish dem like dis.’ ”
“E don tey wen una rijet my kommand or obey and woship mi. Instead, una give unasef to all di gods wey dey di hill and under evry green tree, like sey una bi ashawo wey dey find who e go sleep with.
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.
Den Israel pipol kry to God sey, ‘Wi know sey wi don sin, bikos wi don forget Yu and wi dey serve juju and Ashtoret image. Abeg! Make Yu kom save us from awa enemies hand and wi go serve Yu forever.’
Samuel kon tell Israel pipol, “If una don really turn from sin kom meet God with all una heart, make una remove all di small-small Ashtoret gods wey una get. Make una give una heart to God kon serve only en. Den E go save una from Filistia pipol pawa.”
