Hem savve kaikaim lelebet kaikai wea man hia garem, and drink from kap blo datfala man and sleep lo arm blo hem. Gogo, sheepsheep hia olsem dota blo hem nao. 4 Bihaen, wanfala man kam visitim datfala rich man. So for hem redyim kaikai for datfala visitor hem no tekem eni sheepsheep or buluka blo hemseleva, bat hem tekem smol sheepsheep hia blo datfala poor man, and redyim for datfala visitor wea kam lo hem.”+

7 Then Nathan sei lo David: “Iu nao datfala man!

13 Then David sei lo Nathan: “Mi sin againstim Jehovah nao.”+ Nathan sei lo David: “From datwan, Jehovah forgivim sin blo iu,*+ bae iu no dae.+ 14 Bat from iu nating respectim Jehovah lo disfala samting wea iu duim, datfala son wea born lo iu bae dae.”

15 Then Nathan go bak lo haos blo hem.

24 Then David go comfortim waef blo hem Bath-sheba.+ David sleep witim Bath-sheba and bihaen hem bornem wanfala son, and David nemim hem lo Solomon.*+ And Jehovah barava lovem hem,+ 25 and hem talem profet Nathan+ for nemim hem lo Jedidiah,* bikos lo Jehovah.
