Gụbe Chipfu; ndu etso mu opfu bụkwa ngu e-tsolata phẹ! Ndu ọphu etso mu ọgu bụkwapho gụbedua e-je etsolata phẹ!

G'ẹphe dụ g'ẹswa ereshi, phẹrephere zikashịru teke ojozi-imigwe Chipfu a-nọdu achị phẹ ọso. 
G'ụzo phẹ gbakọtakwa ọchii; chikwaphọ kẹ bụrukutuku teke Ojozi-imigwe Chipfu a-nọdu achị phẹ ịkpabaka. 
Eshinu ọ dụdu iphe, mu meru phẹ; ẹphe je agbabẹru mu ọ́nyà; bya eworu nsụ bua gẹ mu nwulahụ;

Ọo ya bụ gẹ mu etee ẹswa l'ime Chipfu. Ẹhu atsọahaa mu l'ọ dzọtaru mu. 
Mu e-gudekpọo obu mu g'ọ ha sụ: “?Bụ onye atụru gụbe Chipfu? Ọo ngu adzọtaje ndu ụkpa l'ẹka ndu ka phẹ ọkpehu. Mbụ l'ịinafutaje ndu ụkpa; waa ndu adụdu g'ọ dụ phẹ l'ẹka ndu ana phẹ nfụ.” 
Ndu ẹjo-ekebe wulihuru ebo mu ibo. Ẹphe chịkoo iphe, mu amadụ kụbe sụ l'ọo mu bẹ o shi l'ẹka. 
Ẹphe gude ẹjo-ememe pfụa mu ụgwo iphe-ọma. Ọo ya bụ lẹ mu dụwaa g'onye a tọgboru nwa maa. 
Obenu lẹ teke iphe-ememe shi zụu phẹ bẹ mu wotaru uwe-aphụ yee; bya ewoze onwomu alị aswị ẹgu epfu anụ Chipfu; ọle Chipfu ta anụmaduru olu mu.

Obenu l'opfu dụru mbẹdua; ẹphe gude ẹhu-ụtso dzukọbe. Ẹphe swiphee mu mgburugburu tsua mu iphe teke mu akwabẹduru ẹnya; bya egude njọ-opfu alabushi anụ mu nanụ nanụ. 
Ndu gudewaa echi ndu ọzo eswe merwushia onwophẹ l'iphu Chipfu; nọdu atagbaru mu ikireze kẹ nyịkinyiki. 
Gụbe Chipfu; ?bụ teke ole bẹ ii-jipyaberu onwongu elekpọepho anyi ẹnya? Dzọnaa mu; a -nọnya ẹphe mee mu; mu bụru ọla-l'iswi! Dzọtaro mkpakọ iphe ono, mu nweru ono, bụ ndzụ mu g'oduma ta adzụgbu iya! 
Ọ bụru l'ẹka ọha l'ophu dzukọberu bẹ mu a-nọdu kele ngu ekele; mbụ lẹ mu a-nọdu l'iphu ikpoto nemadzụ jaa ngu ajaja. 
B'ekwekwa gẹ ndu ọhogu mu teru ẹswa kpua mu; mbụ ndu kpọru mu ashị; ẹbe adụ iphe, mu meru phẹ. Ọphu i kwekwa gẹ ndu ono, mu dụ ashị ono bvua mu ẹnya ria. 
Kẹle ẹphe te epfujedu opfu nchị-adụ-doo; obenu l'iphe, abụjeru ozi, dụru phẹ nụ bụ achị idzu g'ẹphe e-shi ghọoru ndu dụ àgù lẹ mkpụkpu ụgho. 
Ẹphe sarụ ọnu galaba wata mu ebo ibo sụ: “Ee! Anyi gudekpọo ẹnya anyi hụma iphe, i meru!” 
Ọle gụbe Chipfu hụmanuru-a iphemiphe ono. Jiko ba agbakwa mu nkụchi ọphu ị nọdukwa mu ụzenya! 
Tehu etehu; kwolihurọ bya ahaaru mu enge! Gbaaru mu ọdzori; jiko Nnajịuphu mu, bụ Chileke mu! 
Gude apfụbekoto nkengu haarụ mu rọ enge; jiko Chipfu, bụ Chileke mu! Te kwekwa g'ẹphe teru ẹswa kpua mu! 
Te kwekwa g'ẹphe rịa l'obu phẹ sụ: “Nta bẹ anyi chọ-vuwaru iphe, anyi achọ!” Ọzoo g'ẹphe sụ: “Nta-a bẹ anyi patawaru iya lwee!” 
G'iphe, bụkpoo ndu ete ẹswa ekpu ẹjo-iphe, byaru mu nụ bụkwaru ndu ee-meru iphere kpua bya atụ phẹ ẹberebete. G'e gudekwa iphere dejia phẹ ẹpho; mbụ ndu ono, etu onwophẹ ọphushugbu eje abyapfuta mu ono!

Ọo ya bụ; mu egude ọnu mu pfua k'apfụbekoto nkengu. Ọ bụkwarupho gẹ mu a-nọdu etu ngu ẹpha mbọku-mbọku bụ onoya.
