I taught some pupils of a school, (primary 1) on friday Bible study and on sunday while taking my bath to go to church, the thought occurred. 'What if the Bible was written or a version translated in pigin English', how interesting will it be?

I tried to use the normal KJV but I discovered reading a long passage will kill the spirit, so I opted to tell the stories the way I feel was ok and via the leading of the spirit.

In the light of this, can we put down our favorite portion of the Bible in pigin English with the verse as well? If yes,lets roll!

For the beginning, the word dey, and na God hold the word, and that word na God.

The same thing dey the beginning with papa God.

Na Him (God) make everything; and outside Am nothing way we see fit dey gidigba.

Na Inside Him life dey; and that life na the light way man pikin get.

And that light dey shine for darkness; and the darkness no fit overshadow the light way he get. John 1:1-5

And God tell Jacob, Tanda, waka go Bethel, go live there: construct alter for Me, the Person way appear to you when you pick race commot for Esau your brother face. Gen 35:1

The tory of king Lemuel, the prophecy way him mama teach am.

Watin my pikin? watin self, the pikin of my belle? And watin, the pikin of my promise.

No give your power give all this girls o,(you hear me), no follow their road way dey kill kings o.

No be king work, O Lamuel, no be king work to dey drink wine; no be prince work to drink ogogoro:

So when dem drink am, dem go forget watin book talk, and do wicked thing to poor people.

Carry ogogoro give person way don plan to die, and wine to the people way their heart heavy.

Allow am drink, make him forget him poverty, make him no remember him wahala again.

Make you side people way no fit talk and people way dem don wan destroy.

talk o, judge very well, and stand put for the side of the people way poor and way need things. Proverbs 31:1- 9

Who fit find better woman? She cost pass original rubies.

Him husband heart trust her wella, so him no dey fear.

He go do am beta no be wahala all her life. Proverbs 31:10-12
