- a banhū bajaga bakūsaama saamaga kūjīlīīla mhandī ja kīya. Nose būūkashika mu mbūga ngalī ya Shinaali,* būtūūla ng'hambī būzenga henaho.
- Hūna biwīla gīkī, “Bing'we tūbeejagi madafaali tūgapembe mu moto gagūlūngīle.” Ī shikū jenījo batūmamīlaga madafaali a ha ng'wanya gwa mawe, na laami a ha ng'wanya gwa būlongo.
- Bakiwīla, “Twibeegejagi nzengo, tūzenge mo numba ndīhu ya kūkuumya kū malunde; twipandīkīle lina, tūtizūsalang'hana sagala sagala hose pye ū mu sī.”
- Ū SEEBA wiza kūgūlola ū nzengo gwenūyo, nī numba ī ndīhu īyo babeejaga a banhū.

- Ī gete tūjagi tūkabayuugagūlīle ū lūlīmi lwa kalūngalūngīle kabo, boye ū kwiyigwa ūlū balīyomba.”
- Hūna ū SEEBA ūbasambaaja, bīnga ho a henaho; būja bakūzengaga hose hose ū mu masī, gūcha ū nīmo gwa kūgūzenga ū nzengo gwenūyo.
- H'ī chene ī lipandī lyenīlo līkitanwa Babeli,** nguno a henaho h'aho ū SEEBA akalūyuugagūlīla ū lūlīmi lwa kalūngalūngīle ka mu sī hose pye. Ū SEEBA ūbasalang'hanya ho a henaho, bīnga ūbasambaaja kūja mu masī gose pye.
*Shinaali: Nūūlū, Babeli.
** Babeli: Ū mu Shiheblania ī Babeli a makūlū gaho, Wilemeelwa nūūlū Wiyuugagūji.
