The Cockney Bible
Thu, 01/14/2010 - 23:29 — Sean CarneyAfter the news of the conservative Bible, I wasn't sure if I would ever find a stranger bible translation. Apparently a man by the name of Nick Coles has made the most incomprehensible translation by rewriting sections of the bible in cockney rhyming slang.
Here is the Lords prayer as you have never seen it before:
Hello, Dad, up there in good ol’ Heaven,
Your name is well great and holy, and we respect you, Guv.
We hope we can all ‘ave a butcher’s at Heaven and be there as soon as possible: and we want to make you happy, Guv, and do what you want ‘ere on earth, just like what you do in Heaven.
Guv, please give us some Uncle Fred, and enough grub and stuff to keep us going today, and we hope you’ll forgive us when we cock things up, just like we’re supposed to forgive them who annoy us and do dodgy stuff to us.
There’s a lot of dodgy people around, Guv; please don’t let us get tempted to do bad things.
Help keep us away from all the nasty, evil stuff, and keep that dodgy Satan away from us, ‘cos you’re much stronger than ‘im.
Your the Boss, God, and will be for ever, innit?
Cheers, Amen.
Thanks to Heather for finding this.
