My brother them, 

      Jesus Christ he done djorup for die; he be the first man for djorup for die. Die e been come for ground forseka one man; the same too, djorup for die e done come foreseka one man. The same how all people them been die forseka Adam, the same too all man them go get life forseka Jesus Christ. But anyone for he own time: first Jesus he must djorup for die, and then the people whe them be he own, for the time whe he go come again. Then all thing them go finish. Jesus Christ he go win all thing and all power, and he go give he king-power for God the Father. But Jesus he must be king sote he win all he enemy; the last enemy whe he must win'am na die, because he must win all thing.
