1Na di words wey King Lemuel mama tish am, bi dis.
2My pikin wey I born;
my son wey I dedikate give God,
3make yu nor waste yor strent dey follow wimen;
bikos dem dey distroy kings.
4Lemuel, my pikin!
E nor good make king dey drink wine
and make rulers too,
nor dey take strong drink.
5Bikos wen dem drink,

6Strong drink na for pipol wey dey won die
and wine na for doz wey dia heart heavy.
7So allow dem drink forget dia poverty
and dem nor go remember dia trobol again.
8Make yu tok for doz wey nor fit tok for demsef;
make yu judge well for doz wey dem dey opress.
9Yes! Tok well for doz wey dem dey opress and for poor pipol,
den make sure sey dem give dem korrect judgement.
