Of traffiks and lolling about on thin strips of tarmac. Maybe not but you get the idea.

I would pray that they will translate the Bible to sheng, soon. Just consider the lexical density other than the dynamism of the language and you will appreciate my concerns. I am sure most of you will be lost completely or will need a dictionary. This being a gem from an email I received.

Excerpt:
Luke 19: 1-10

‘Luka Kumi na tisa, moja hadi ashuu.’

Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho .
Basi Yesu akapenya Jeri na alikuwa akipitia tuu.

Now behold, there was a man called Zaccheus who was the Chief Tax collector and was rich.
Basi kulikuwa na msee mmoja anaitwa Zaka. Huyu Zaka alikuwa dongera wa kukwachu munde, na alikuwa sonko mbaya

And he sought to see who Jesus was, but he couldn’t because of the crowd, for he was a short man.
Zaka alijisikia kusorora huyu Yesu, lakini wapi ju ya ile kerende: alikuwa m brief mbaya!

So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him for he was going that direction.
Zaka akajishanora akadandia miti ndio asorore vipoa juu alikuwa akichoroboka hiyo side.

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him
Basi Yesu aligalavant akafika hiyo base, akacheki mabatini akamcheki na kumshow niaje ?

“Zacchaeus, make a haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house”
“Zaka dondoka faster faster juu leo lazima ni maintain kwa keja yako”.

Priceless.
