And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.

11 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu selos, “Mwet Egypt, mwet Amor, mwet Ammon, mwet Philistia,

And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,

12 mwet Sidon, mwet Amalek, ac mwet Maon elos akkeokye kowos in pacl somla, ac kowos tuh wowoyak nu sik. Ya nga tuh tia molikowosla lukelos?

and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?

Yet you forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.

14 Fahla ac wowoyak nu sin god kowos sulela ingan. Lela elos in moli kowos ke pacl kowos sun ongoiya.”

Go, and cry to the gods whom you have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.
