10 Den Jechro seh: “Mek Jehoava geh aala di prayz bikaaz hihn mi reskyu unu fahn di Ijipshan dehn ahn fahn Fayro. Ahn hihn mi reskyu di peepl hoo da-mi slayv da Eejip.
11 Now Ah noa dat Jehoava moa powaful ahn moa impoatant dan aala di ada gaad dehn, bikaaz ih mi protek ih peepl fahn di Ijipshan dehn weh mi kruwil ahn prowd.”

15 Den Moaziz tel ih faada-in-laa: “Ah di du dis bikaaz di peepl kip di kohn tu mi fi aks Gaad fi gaid dehn.
16 Wen wahn prablem kom op bitween too peepl, Ah need fi joj hoo rait ahn hoo rang, an Ah tel dehn bowt Gaad laa an ih komanment dehn.”

24 Soh rait away Moaziz mi du evriting weh ih faada-in-laa tel ahn fi du.
