4 So Joseph wen go from Nazaret town Galilee side, to Betlehem Judea side, King David's town, cuz he come from King David's ohana. 5 He go ovadea fo sign up wit Mary, da wahine da ohana wen promise fo marry him. She stay hapai. 6 Wen dey stay dea, da time come fo her fo born her baby. 7 An she wen born her numba one boy, an wrap him up inside some cloths, an lay him down inside one ting fo hold da cows food, cuz no mo room fo dem inside da small hotel.
8 Dat nite, ova dea inside da fields, get sheep farmas taking care dea sheeps. 9 Right den an dea one angel messenja guy from da Boss Up Dea Inside Da Sky come by dem. All aroun dem one awesome light wen shine from da Boss. An dey wen come real scared. 10 But da angel guy say, "No scared. I come fo tell you guys Good Stuff From God dat goin make you guys an all da peopo stay good inside. 11 Dis say inside King David's town, one boywen born day goin take you guys outa bad kine stuff you stay doing.
