The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
Translations
Bemé
This extract is adapted from the Bemé translated subtitles of the original scene in Pulp Fiction. Due to the importance of the scene in the Poccasin cultural zeitgeist, the extract starts from where the passage most quoted; namely, where Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) asks Brett (Frank Whaley) if he reads the Bible. This extract is presented in screenplay format, with the actual monologue in bold.
- Jules: Yu ridin Beybl, Brett?
- Brett: Yes!
- Jules: Layeh, eh bi pasej mi dan rimemba. Eh la bela sicheh. Ezikiyel 25:17. Rowt di reychas mang bi eh srown ni eri pilang kaz inekriti selepis mang, an tireni eh na gud mang.
