  2. Noo ya; o be teke ndiphe kwasẹru ụzo ẹnyanwu-awawa; ẹphe je ahụma nsụda lẹ Shịna; ẹphe je ebukọbe l'ẹka ono.
  3. Ẹphe sụ nwibe phẹ: “Unu bya g'anyi kpụa ẹja hụa ya l'ọku hụ-ghee ya ahụ-ghe.” Ọ bụru ẹja akpụkpu bẹ nọ-chiru phẹ ẹnya mkpuma; ẹphe wụa ya korota g'ọ bụru ọtu-paa.
  4. Ẹphe sụ: “Unu bya g'anyi metaru onwanyi mkpụkpu; g'anyi kpụa ụlo-eli, e-je asupfuru l'igwe. Ọo ya bụ; g'anyi abụru ndu aa-maru ẹpha phẹ; g'anyi te je agbakashịhu dzuru mgboko.”
  5. Tọbudu iya bụ; Chipfu bya enyizeta g'ọ hụma mkpụkpu ono; yẹe ụlo-eli ono, ụnwu-eliphe akpụ ono;
