   men, or jealous those pipo wey dey do wrong
   tins;

13. but Baba-God dey laff wicked pipo, he know sey dia day dey come.
14. Wicked pipo dey raise dia sword, and dey bend dia bow, to bring poor pipo down, and to fall di hand of pipo wey need epp, to kill pipo wey get clean-hand.
15. But dia sword go shuuk dia own heart, and dia bow go break.

18. Baba-God know di days of good pipo, and he go make dia inheritance last forever.
19. Shame no go catch dem wen yawa gas, dem go chop belleful wen hunger full town.

21. Wicked pipo dey borrow moni and dem no gree pay back, but good man dey sorry-for pesin and he dey give,
22. those pipo wey Baba-God bless go inherit di land, but those pipo wey he curse go cut komot.
23. Na Baba-God dey direct good man waka, and Baba-God like hin way.

25. I bin dey young, but now I don old, and I neva see good man wey Baba-God fashi, or dia pikin dey beg for food to chop.
26. He dey always dey sorry-for pipo, he dey borrow pipo: and hin pikin-pikin-pikin get blessings.
27. Komot your hand from evil and make you do beta tin, den you go stay for di land forever.
28. Baba-God love justice, and he no go fashi hin holy-pipo. He dey protect dem forever, but wicked pipo pikin-pikin-pikin go cut komot;

30. Na wisdom dey komot from good man mouth, and hin tongue dey tok about justice.
31. Baba-God law dey for hin heart; and hin steps no go dror-fall.
32. Wicked men dey watch good men, dem dey wait to kill am;
33. but Baba-God no go leave am for wicked man hand, or condemn am wen dem judge am.
34. Wait for Baba-God, con follow hin way. He go make your level high so dat you go inherit di land; wen badbelle pipo don cut komot—you go see am.
35. I don see wicked pipo wey get pawa well-well—wey dey grow like native green tree,

37. Mark pipo wey no get error, observe good pipo; di future of dat pesin na peace.
38. But all sinners go kpeme togeda, and di future of wicked pipo go cut komot.
