“Unu te etekwa ẹswa; unubẹ ndu Ízurẹlu! G'ẹhu ba atsọkwa unu g'ọotso ndu ọhamoha ọzo; kẹle unu dụkwaru Chileke unu ghẹlegheleghele; kẹle ọo ụgwo, a gbatarụ l'ụkpara bẹ unu yeru obu l'iphe, bụkpoo ẹka eechije balị. 
Ẹka eechije balị; yẹe ẹka aapyịshi mẹe-vayịnu bẹ ta azụ̀jeekwa phẹ; ọphu mẹe ọ̀phúú adụeduru phẹ. 
Ẹphe tee bukwaru l'alị kẹ Chipfu. Mbụ lẹ ndu Ifuremu e-mechakwaa laphu azụ l'alị ndu Ijiputu; je anọdu l'alị ndu Asiriya ria nri, aasọ nsọ.

?Bụ gụnu bẹ unu e-me m'o -rwua mbọku ono, e doberu k'ọbo-iphe ono; mbụ eswe ọbo-iphe kẹ Chipfu? 
Kẹle-a; ẹphe -jekpọnu g'ẹphe gbalarụ ọla-l'iswi; ndu Ijiputu e-rwukọele phẹ-a; ndu mkpụkpu Mẹmufisu elia phẹ. Ẹku mkpọla-ọchaa phẹ efuchia l'ẹswa. Ẹwu-óbvú agbaa ibe phẹ ophorokpo. 
“Mbọku, aa-hụ̀ nemadzụ ahụ̀hù rwuakwaru. Mbọku, aa-pfụ onyemonye ụgwo iphe, o metaru dụkwaa ntse. Gẹ ndu Ízurẹlu makwarụ l'onoo g'ọ dụ. Eshinu iphe-ẹji unu parụ igwerigwe; tẹme ndụmashi, unu nweru paa ẹka; bẹ e mewaru onye mpfuchiru Chileke; o dụ g'onye eswe. Onye unme Chileke jiru ẹhu bụru onye ọbvu byaru. 
Mụbe onye mpfuchiru Chileke bụ onye eche ndu Ifuremu nche; mbụ ndibe Chileke mu. Ọle a gbakarụ mu ọ́nyà l'iphe, bụ ụzo, mu eshi. Ndụmashi nọdukwapho l'ụlo Chileke mu. 
Ẹphe tsụwaru ọtsuri tsụba l'ime emerwụshi onwophẹ; ẹgube ono, ndiphe dụ lẹ teke kẹ Gibiya. Ọle Chileke e-mechakwanaa nyata ẹjo-iphe, ẹphe eme. Mbụ l'ọ hụ̀a phẹ ahụ̀hù iphe-ẹji ono, ẹphe eme ono.” 
“Teke mu chọtaru ndu Ízurẹlu bẹ ọ dụkwa g'onye hụmaru akpụru vayịnu l'echiẹgu. Mbụ lẹ teke mu hụmaru nna unu oche phẹ bẹ ọ dụkwa g'onye hụmaru akpụru mbụ, vuru ụzo chaa l'oshi figu iya.

Mbụ l'akpabiri ndu Ifuremu e-mechakwaa phee ephephe phefu g'ẹnu. A taa nwụbaedu nwa l'ime iya; ọphu aapaẹdu iya ẹpho ime; ọphu aatsụtaedu iya ime. 
Ẹphe -hechakpọnu ụnwegirima hefuta; mu emee; ẹphe anwụshihukota g'ẹphe ha. Mbụ-a; nshịo phẹ teke mu a-gharu phẹ azụ! 
“Ndu Ifuremu bẹ mu hụmakpooru; ẹphe dụ gẹ ndu Taya, bụ ndu e yeru g'oshi l'ẹka dụshikpoo ree ike. Ọle ndu Ifuremu ono e-mechaa chịru ụnwu phẹ nụ ndu e-gbushi phẹ nụ.” 
“Nụnu phẹ iphe; gụbe Chipfu! ?Bụ gụnu bẹ ịi-nụ phẹ? Nụ phẹ ẹpho ume-nwa; yẹe ẹra, mini-ẹra adụdu!” 
“Ọo ẹjo-ememe, ẹphe nọ emegbabẹ lẹ Gilugalu bẹ mu gude kpọo phẹ ashị l'ẹka ono. Ọ bụru k'iphe-ẹji, ẹphe nọ emegbabẹ bẹ mu e-gude chịfu phẹ g'ẹphe ba nọduhe l'ụlo mu. Mu tee yehẹdu phẹ obu; kẹle ndu-ishi phẹ g'ẹphe ha kwefukọtaru ike.
