4 Nao mi tingting gud long ol fasin we i stap gohed aninit long san, we ol man oli stap mekem i strong tumas long ol narafala man. Mi luk wota blong ae blong olgeta we oli stap harem nogud, be i no gat man blong mekem olgeta oli harem gud.+ Mo ol man we oli stap mekem i strong tumas long olgeta, oli gat paoa, taswe i no gat wan man i save mekem oli harem gud bakegen.
2 Mo mi luk se olgeta we oli ded finis oli gud moa long olgeta we oli laef yet.+
3 Be ol man we oli no bon yet, oli gud moa i winim tufala ya,+ from we oli no luk yet ol fasin we oli stap mekem ol man aninit long san, oli harem nogud.+
4 Mo tu, mi luk olsem wanem man i traehad* mo i gat gudhan blong wok from we oli stap traem blong winim ol narafala.+ Samting ya tu i blong nating nomo, i olsem we man i stap ronem win.
5 Man we i stupid i foldem han blong hem i stap, be long semtaem bodi blong hem i stap kam bunbun.*+
6 I moa gud man i spel smol, i bitim we hem i stap wok had tumas* mo i stap ronem win.+
7 Mi tingting gud long wan narafala eksampol blong wan fasin we i blong nating nomo aninit long san:
8 I gat wan man we i stap hem wan mo i no gat fren. Hem i no gat pikinini o brata, be hem i neva stop blong wok had. Ae blong hem i neva harem gud long ol rij samting we hem i gat.+ ?Be olsem wanem? ?Samtaem hem i askem hem wan se: ‘Mi mi stap wok had blong hu, nao mi stap blokem mi* blong mi no kasem ol gudfala samting’?+ Samting ya tu i blong nating nomo, mo i wan wok we i mekem man i harem nogud nomo.+
9 Tu man i gud moa i bitim wan man nomo,+ from we bambae tufala i kasem gudfala pei* from hadwok blong tufala.
10 From we sipos wan long tufala i foldaon, narawan i save halpem narawan blong i stanap. ?Be wanem bambae i hapen long man we i foldaon be i no gat narawan blong givhan long hem?
11 Antap moa, sipos tu man i ledaon wanples, bambae tufala i save stap wom. ?Be olsem wanem wan man we i stap hem wan i save stap wom?
12 Mo wan man i save winim man we i stap hem wan nomo, be tu man i save joen blong stanap agensem hem. Mo tri rop we oli tantanem trifala i kam wan, i no save brok kwiktaem.*
13 Wan pikinini we i pua be i waes, hem i gud moa i bitim wan king we i olfala be i stupid,+ mo we i no moa gat gudfala tingting blong lesin long woning.+
14 Hemia from we hem* i kamaot long kalabus blong i kam king,+ nating se long taem we man ya i rul, hem i bon we i pua.+
15 Mi mi wajem gud olgeta we oli laef i stap, oli stap wokbaot aninit long san, mo mi luk samting we i hapen taem wan yang man i stanap i tekem ples blong narafala.
16 Nating se ol man we oli sapotem hem, oli plante we plante, be olgeta we oli kam biaen bambae oli no glad long hem.+ Samting ya tu i blong nating nomo, i olsem we man i stap ronem win nomo.
