4 And tu, why nao iufala duim diswan lo mi,

Iufala lo Tyre and Sidon and evri ples lo Philistia?

Sapos iufala pei bak lo mi,

Bae mi stretawe duim samting for kwiktaem pei bak lo iufala.*+

 6 Diswan nao wanem Jehovah talem,

‘“From Gaza bighed* thrifala taem+ and fofala taem,* mi bae no changem wat mi disaedem finis,

Bikos olketa tekem evri pipol wea prisoner+ and givim olketa lo Edom.

 7 So mi bae sendem wanfala fire lo wall blo Gaza,+

And bae hem bonem olketa strongfala taoa blo hem.

 8 Mi bae finisim olketa pipol from Ashdod,+

And man wea rul* from Ashkelon.+

Mi bae tanem hand blo mi againstim Ekron,+

And olketa Philistine wea stap yet bae dae,”+ diswan nao wanem Sovereign Lord Jehovah talem.’

 4 Bikos Gaza bae kamap taon wea pipol lusim,

And Ashkelon bae hem emti.+

Enemy bae raosem pipol blo Ashdod lo big daylaet,

And Ekron bae olketa pullimaot.+

Gaza bae seksek fogud from hem fraet,

And Ekron tu, bikos wanem hem putim hope lo hem bae shame.

Wanfala king bae finis from Gaza,

And no eniwan bae stap lo Ashkelon.+
