13 Till John wen show up ova dea, all da guys dat wen talk fo God befo time, an Moses wen he wen write down Godʼs Rules inside da Bible, dey all wen talk bout da Kingʼs ohana.
14 Dis guy John, he da guy dey say goin come, jus like Elijah. You tink you guys can handle dat?
15 Yeah, you know! You guys get ears fo hear, you betta listen!
16 “But peopo nowdays, how dey stay? Dey jalike da kids dat stay sitting inside da open market place, an yelling to dea friends,

But you guys no come sad fo us!’
18 “Same ting, wen John Da Baptiza Guy show up, he no eat notting so he can pray plenny, an he no drink wine. Dass how come peopo say, ‘Eh, he get one bad kine spirit in charge a him!’
19 Eh, but try go figga dis: Me, I da Guy Dass Fo Real. I eat, I drink, an dey say, ‘You know wat? Dis guy everytime eating an drinking! He friends wit da guys dat collect money fo tax fo da govermen, an da odda kine peopo dat get bad name, jalike dem.’ But eh! you know wat? Da guy who get da smarts from God, da tings he do, goin make proof dat he right.”
Da Peopo From Some Towns No Trus Jesus
(Luke 10:13-15; Isaiah 14:13,15)
20 Den Jesus wen scold da peopo from all da towns wea he wen show his power, cuz dey not sorry fo all da bad kine stuff dey doing, an dey no stop doing um.
21 He say, “Auwe, you guys from Korazin town, an you guys from Betsaida town! Eh, I neva show my power fo da Tyre an Sidon guys like I wen do um fo you guys. If I wen go do dat, awready dem guys wen come sorry from long time an stop doing um, an dey wen show dey shame fo all dat -- dey wen go put on one gunny bag, an go throw ash on top dea head, so everybody know dey sorry.
22 But I telling you guys now, bumbye goin be mo easy fo da Tyre an Sidon guys wen dey gotta stand in front God da Judge, den fo you guys.
23 An you guys from Capernaum town,
You tink God goin take you guys up in da sky, o wat?

Cuz if I wen do awesome stuff wit my power fo da Sodom guys jalike I do fo you guys, still yet Sodom town stay hea.
24 But I telling you guys, bumbye goin be mo easy fo da Sodom guys wen dey stand in front God da Judge, den fo you guys.”
