19 Cuz you get plenny love an aloha, let go dese peopo fo dis bad kine stuff dey stay do. Jalike you wen let dem go from da time dey leave Egypt till now.”

25 But cuz da Amalek peopo an da Canaan peopo live inside da valleys, turn back aroun tomorra, an go back inside da boonies by da road dat go by da Red Sea!”
26 Da One In Charge tell Moses an Aaron,

30 No mo nobody from you guys dat stay grumble goin go inside da land. No matta I wen put up my hand an make one strong promise fo make dat yoa home. Ony Jefunneh boy Caleb, an Nun boy Joshua, goin go inside dea.
31 You guys wen tell dat yoa kids goin come prisonas. But I goin bring yoa kids inside dat land, an dey goin stay good inside cuz dey dea, no matta you guys no like take da land.

36 Da guys Moses wen sen fo scope out da land, dey come back an tell bad kine stuff bout da land. Dey make all da peopo grumble bout Moses.
37 But dose guys dat tell bad kine stuff bout da land, dey get one bad kine sick. Dey fall down mahke in front Da One In Charge.
38 From all da guys dat wen go scope out da land, ony Nun boy Joshua an Jefunneh boy Caleb stay alive.
39 Wen Moses tell all da Israel peopo bout dat, dey come real sore inside.
40 Early da nex morning dey go up da high hill land. Dey tell, “Us was wrong. We stay ready fo go up da place Da One In Charge wen tell us fo go.”
41 But Moses tell, “How come you guys goin go wea Da One In Charge tell you fo no go?! Dis no goin come out good!
42 No go up dea, cuz Da One In Charge no stay wit you guys! Da guys dat stay agains you guys, goin win ova you!
43 Cuz da Amalek peopo an da Canaan peopo goin face you guys ova dea. Az cuz you guys turn aroun an no follow Da One In Charge. Cuz a dat he no goin stay wit you guys, an you guys goin get kill wit swords!”
44 But da Israel guys tink dey can handle. Dey still yet go up da high hill land. But Moses an da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit Da One In Charge no go outa da camp wit dem.
