Kijan ou di "lavished" an kreyòl?

It depends on what the context is.
I am thinking "repann", "simen", "simaye", "benyen".

"En" at the end of a sentence? I'm confused. Could you please explain? Mèsi an avans! Bib la Jan 9:2 Disip li yo mande li: Mèt, poukisa nonm sa a te fèt tou avèg en?

“en”, here, is an exclamation that express the question.

It’s the equivalent of “huh”  as in “Why did you come down here, huh?”

Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Jou jijman an, y'a peni nou pi rèd pase moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon yo. Can you please translate into English? " peni nou pi red pase" kamsahamnida

Bonjou, Kijan ou ye?

I think this is supposed to be “pini pi rèd pase”. With “pini” which means to “punish”

The word we should look at here is “rèd” which means “stiff, strenuous, severe, though, hard, etc..”

...pini nou pi rèd pase – ...to punish you more severely than ….

Jou jijman an, y’ap pini nou pi rèd pase moun lavil Tir …..

On judgement day you’ll be punished more severely than the people of Tir …..

The English translation is passive, the Creole is not.

The best translation for the following verse: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 Will be leading a class of children for Vacation Bible School, and usually try to put the Kreyol words to music! Thanks for your help.

Dakò :)

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Mwen di nou bagay sa yo dekwa pou nou gen lapè nan mwen.

Nan monn sa nou va genyen pwoblèm. Men pran kouraj! Monn nan deja pèdi devan m.”

John 16:33

Jan 16:33

I'm currently tracing my ancestry back (it's SO exciting!) and I've discovered that Martinique and Guadeloupe are two of the MANY places it traces back to. ^_^ I just found out about "Kreyol Gwadloupeyen" and "Kreyol Matnik." As far as learning the languages goes, will learning "Kreyol Ayisyen" help with these other two Creoles OR should I pursue those languages separately like you told me about French? OR are the three languages so similar I don't have to learn these two other Creoles at all?

You might be able to get the gist of the conversation or hear a word or two (or a sentence or two) when listening to some "mostly French-based" Creole languages if you were to speak Haitian Creole fluently, but you do have to specifically learn that Creole language separately in order to benefit from it.

God bless you. I'm puertorican, I took basic creole lesson my question is is it ok "10 liv yo" or I can omit the "yo'" because of the number and say 10 liv. mesi anpil.

It depends.

If you’re talking about ten particular (ten specific books), then yes add “yo”

Pa egzanp:

Eske w te achte dis liv yo m te mande w achte a.

Did you buy the ten books I asked you to buy.

So we’re talking about ten particular books that I had asked ou to buy.

Li te boule tout dis liv yo.

He burned all ten books.

Or if we’re being non-specific we omit “yo”.

Pa egzanp:

M bezwen dis liv.

Mwen t’achte dis liv nan libreri a.

Magazen sa a pote dis liv sèlman.

Years ago I spent a summer in Verrettes. We enjoyed eating bunches of a round little green fruit that I can't remember the name of. In asking around, people have told me it was called Kenep but that did not ring a bell for me and I wondered if you would know if it has different names in different parts of the country... Thanks much.

Yes, we call it kenèp indeed, it has a hard skin that you break gently with your teeth and a large seed inside that is covered with light yellow sweet natural jelly.

kenèp can be soaked in alcoholic drinks such as kleren for a sweet tartish taste.

What does "Anwo pa desann, anba pa monte" mean? Thank you.

Anwo pa moute, anba pa desann

Nothing’s moving (as if at a standstill).

We also say:

Anwo pa moute, anba pa desann, Ti Mari rete rèd

Anwo pa moute, anba pa desann, Ti Mari rete tennfas

Or

Anwo pa moute, anba pa desann, nan mitan rete rèd

(same meaning)

A somewhat literal meaning would be “nothing moving up there, nothing moving down here and it’s also stiff in the middle :)
