1  ✡ 10:1 a: Outa 13:21-22; b: Outa 14:22-29Eh, my braddahs an sistahs! Dis one ting you guys gotta know: Befo time, oua ancesta guys wen stay unda da cloud God wen sen, an God wen open da Red Sea from one side to da odda side, an dey all wen walk thru on top da sea floor to da odda side. 2 Dass jalike one picha, da cloud an da Red Sea. Dass cuz da peopo wen trus Moses fo be dea leada, an wen go unda da cloud an inside da sea wit him. Dass jalike us guys trus Christ, an get baptize fo show dat us Christ guys, an us follow him. 3  ✡ 10:3: Outa 16:35All da peopo wen eat da same food dat God Spirit wen give um, 4  ✡ 10:4: Outa 17:6; Census 20:11an dey all wen drink da same watta dat God Spirit wen give um fo drink. Wat dey wen drink wen come outa one big rock dat God Spirit wen give um. Jalike dat rock was dea ery place dey go, Christ was dea too. 5  ✡ 10:5: Census 14:29-30But God neva like how plenny peopo wen ack. Az why dey wen mahke, an dea bodies dey wen bury all ova da diffren places wea dey wen go.

6  ✡ 10:6: Census 11:4All dat stuff wen happen fo show us guys dat we not suppose to go all out fo do da bad kine stuff, jalike all da peopo dat time. 7  ✡ 10:7: Outa 32:6No good we pray to da idol kine gods, jalike some a da peopo wen do. Da Bible tell dis: “Da peopo wen party in front da bebe cow kine god statue, an afta, dey start fo fool aroun each odda.” 8  ✡ 10:8: Census 25:1-18No good we go fool aroun da peopo dat we no stay married to. Dat time, some a da peopo wen make lidat, an dey all wen mahke die dead, twenny-three tousan a dem. 9  ✡ 10:9: Census 21:5-6No good we try find out how much bad kine stuff us guys can do befo Da One In Charge punish us. Some a da peopo wen do dat, an God wen sen snakes ova dea fo bite um an wipe um out. 10  ✡ 10:10: Census 16:41-49No good us grumble. Some a da peopo wen grumble ova an ova, an da Killa Angel Guy wen wipe um out.

11 All dat stuff wen happen to da Israel peopo fo show us guys someting, you know. Dey wen write um all down fo us guys learn wat kine stuff us betta not do, cuz da end a da world time stay coming!

12 Eh! If You tink you stay strong now, mo betta you watch out so you no do bad kine stuff. 13 Wen you guys get chance fo do da bad kine stuff, dass da same ting, jalike wat happen to all da odda peopo. But you know, you guys can trus God fo do wat he tell he goin do. He no goin let you guys get mo plenny presha den you guys can handle. Erytime get presha lidat, God goin make um fo you guys get outa dat. He goin make you guys strong fo handle da presha fo you no fall down.

14 Az why, my good frenz, weneva somebody try fo make you guys go down an pray in front da idol kine gods, run da odda way real quick! 15 I tell you dis cuz I know you guys can undastan real good. So make up yoa mind! Wat I tell you guys, az true o az not true?!

16  ✡ 10:16: Matt 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20Try tink bout dis: wen us guys tell God “Mahalo plenny!” an drink from da spesho cup—dat mean, dat all us guys stay tight wit God Spesho Guy Christ, da guy dat wen bleed an mahke. Dass how us share wat Christ wen do fo us guys. Wen we broke up da bread, dat mean da same ting—us guys all stay tight wit God Spesho Guy Christ, an us no foget dat time he wen mahke. Dass how we share wat Christ wen do fo us guys. 17 All us guys togedda jalike one bread. Wen erybody eat one piece a da bread, dat mean all us plenny peopo togedda stay jalike one body. 18  ✡ 10:18: Pries 7:6Try tink bout how da Israel peopo do um: wen dey kill da animal on top da altar fo make one sacrifice fo God, da pries guys dat kill um take da meat fo eat. Dat mean dat dey all stay tight togedda wit God an wit da peopo dat wen bring da animal fo da sacrifice.

19 But wen I tell dis, you tink dat da sacrifice dey make fo da idol kine gods, dass someting fo real, o wat? No ways! Da idol kine god statue, dass notting! 20  ✡ 10:20: Rules2 32:17Dis wat I mean: wen da peopo dat donno God kill da animals fo make one sacrifice, dey do um fo da bad kine spirits. But I no like you guys come tight wit da bad kine spirits! Dey no stay do um fo da real God. 21 You guys, you no can drink from da cup dat show you stay tight wit Da One In Charge, an same time, you drink from one diffren kine cup dat show dat you stay tight wit da bad kine spirits. You guys no can eat da food from da table dat show you stay tight wit Da One In Charge, an same time, you stay eat da food dat show dat you stay tight wit da bad kine spirits. Come on! 22  ✡ 10:22: Rules2 32:21Wat you guys tink? Us goin make Da One In Charge come huhu wit us, o wat? No good we make lidat. O, you tink us guys mo strong den him?

23  ✡ 10:23: 1Cor 6:12I get da right fo do all kine stuff, but eryting not good fo me. I get da right fo do all kine stuff, but dat no make me come mo strong inside. 24 Mo betta us no try fo do ony da stuff dat us guys like do. Mo betta us do da stuff dat help da odda peopo too.

25 So den, go eat da meat dey sell inside da meat market, an no go tell, “Dis okay fo me eat, o wat?” 26  ✡ 10:26: Songs 24:1Da Bible tell, “Da One In Charge, he own da world, an eryting inside da world too,” you know. 27 If one guy dat no trus God tell you guys, “Go come oua house fo eat!” an you guys like go, den eat eryting dey give you, an no go tell, “Az okay fo me eat dis, o wat?”

28 But, if somebody tell you guys, “Dis meat come from one temple sacrifice fo one idol kine god,” den no eat um. You guys gotta figga bout da guy dat wen tell you dat, if okay o not okay fo him. 29 Az why you gotta tink bout wat da odda guy tink, if az okay fo him fo eat um. No tink ony bout wass okay fo you.

But eh! I get da right fo do wat I like do. Still yet, if anodda guy tink dass not okay fo him do dis ting, an az bad fo him, how come I no mo da right fo do wat I like do, jus cuz da odda guy tink az bad fo him? 30 If I eat da stuff an tell God “Mahalo plenny!” how come peopo talk bad bout me?

31 Eryting you guys do, eat, drink, wateva—do um all fo show how awesome God stay. 32 No go jam up nobody—da Jew guys, o da peopo dass not Jews, o da church peopo dat come togedda fo God. 33 Make jalike me: I try fo make all dose guys stay good inside. I no try fo do wass good ony fo me. I try fo do wass good fo erybody, fo dem get outa da bad kine stuff dey stay in too.
