Julakan (Dyula)
Babɛli sangasojan ka koo
Diɲɛ kɔnɔ mɔgɔw bɛɛ tun be kaan kelen ni kuma kelen le fɔ.
K'u to munumunu na ka to ka taga kɔrɔn ɲafan fɛ, u ye kɔkɛnɛ dɔ ye Sineyari mara la ka sigi yen.
U y'a fɔ ɲɔgɔn ye ko: «Aw ye na, an ka biriki gosi k'u jɛni.» O kɛra u ka kabakuruw ye, ka bɔgɔmanan kɛ k'a lɔ.
U ko: «Aw ye na, an ka dugu sigi, ka sangasojan lɔ a kɔnɔ, a kuun ka se fɔɔ sankolo la, an ka tɔgɔba sɔrɔ, janko an kana jɛnsɛn dugukolo yɔrɔ bɛɛ la.»
U tun be dugu ni sangasojan min lɔra, Masaba jigira ka na o filɛ.
A ko: «U bɛɛ ye siya kelen ye, u bɛɛ be kaan kelen fɔ. N'u y'a daminɛ ten, foyi tena u bali k'u ka koo latigɛninw kɛ.
Aw ye to an ka jigi k'u ka kaan ɲagami, janko u kana ɲɔgɔn ka kaan mɛn tugu.»
O la, Masaba y'u jɛnsɛn ka bɔ yen. U tagara dugukolo yɔrɔ bɛɛ la k'o dugu sigiko dabila.
O le y'a to u y'o yɔrɔ wele ko Babɛli,bari Masaba ye diɲɛ mɔgɔw bɛɛ ka kaan ɲagami yen, k'u jɛnsɛn ka bɔ o yɔrɔ la, ka taga dugukolo yɔrɔ bɛɛ la.
11.9 Babɛli ni kuma dɔ wɛrɛ fɔcogo bɔnin be ɲɔgɔn fɛ eburukan na, o min kɔrɔ ko ɲagamini.
