Ziizɛ Daa-Mii-Ŋɛni Ʋeeni Numaa Lamaa Ya
Just before the Passover in the year 32 C.E., the apostle dem come back from preaching. They wor tire, so Jesus carry them in the boat to Bethsaida, so they can rest. But when they reach near the sea shore, Jesus see that plenty people na follow them and go there. Even though Jesus wanted for he and his apostle dem to be by theirself, he wor kind and welcome the people. He make the sick people well and started teaching them. That whole day, Jesus teach them about God Kingdom. In the evening, his apostle dem go to him and tell him say: ‘The people hungry now. Tell them to go so that they can find something to eat.’
Jesus say: ‘They not need to go. Yor give them something to eat.’ His apostle dem ask him: ‘You want for us to go buy bread for them?’ Then one of his apostle they call Philip say: ‘Even if we wor coming to get plenty money, we will not be able to buy enough bread for all this people dem.’
Jesus ask them: ‘How much bread yor get?’ Andrew say: ‘We get five bread and two small-small fish. It not even plenty.’ Jesus say: ‘Bring the bread and the fish to me.’ Then Jesus tell the people to sit down on the grass in group. Some people wor 50 in group and some of them wor 100 in group. Jesus take the bread and fish, look up to heaven and pray over it. Then he give the food to his apostle dem and they give it to the people. The people that eat the food wor 5,000 men, beside the women, and children. And all of them eat until they wor satisfy. After that, the apostle dem collect the food that leave over, so that it can’t spoil. And the food that leave over full up 12 baskets! This miracle really wonderful, ehn that true?
The people wor too happy that they wanted to make Jesus their king. But Jesus knew that it wor not Jehovah time for him to be king. So he tell the people to go home. He tell his apostle dem to go on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. The apostle dem get in the boat, and Jesus go on the mountain to be by hisself. Why? Because he wanted to be by hisself and pray to his Father. No matter how Jesus wor busy, he always find time to pray.
“Yor must not work for food that can spoil, but work for food that will never spoil and will give everlasting life. And that the Son of man will give it to yor.”—John 6:27
