Unme Nnajịuphu, bụ Chipfu dụ mu l'ẹhu; kẹle ọ họtaru mu gẹ mu je ezia ndu wozeru onwophẹ alị ozi-ọma. Ndu meji tọfuru bẹ o ziru mu gẹ mu je emee gẹ meji nmapfuru phẹ; gẹ mu je ezia ndu a kpụtaru lẹ ndzụ l'ẹphe e-nweru onwophẹ. Mu epfukwarụpho ndu nọ l'ọka-mkpọro l'aa-ha phẹ. 
Tẹme gẹ mu bya arakaa l'apha, Chipfu e-meru ndu nkiya eze-iphe-ọma rwuwaru; yẹle eswe mbọku, Chileke anyi a-gbaru ndibe iya ọdzori. Mu adụa ndu agụ aphụ obu g'ẹphe ha. 
Tẹme mu eyekwarụpho ndu Zayọnu ẹka; mbụ ndu ọphu aphụ tsọru. Mu eworu ẹguru okpu-eze kpube phẹ l'ishi l'ọzori ntụ, ẹphe shi kpube onwophẹ; wụa phẹ manụ ẹhu-ụtso; l'ọzori agụ aphụ; yee phẹ uwe, bụ aja Chileke ajaja; l'ọzori anọdu yọkoo. Iphe, aa-nọdu eku phẹ abụru “Achị k'apfụbekoto”; Oshi, Chipfu kụru l'onwiya g'e gude hụma g'ọ dụ-be akpabiri. 
Ẹphe a-kpụkwa akahụ igbulọ ono, dakashịhuru e -shi teke ndiche ono; bya atụko akahụ ẹka ono, bụhawaa ochobu ono doziphuchaa azụ. Mkpụkpu ono, dakpọshihuchaaru adakpọshihu nọdu nno shi l'ọgbo sweru ọgbo ono bẹ ẹphe a-tụko kpụzi-kọtachaa. 
Ọ bụru ndu shi eshishi a-nọdu echeru unu eghu mẹ atụru unu. Ndu ọhozo abụru ndu a-nọdu ejeru unu ozi ẹgu; yẹle ozi opfu-vayịnu unu. 
Iphe, aa-nọdu eku unu abụru “ndu-uke kẹ Chipfu”. Iphe, aa-gụbe unu a-bụru “ndu ejeru Chileke anyi ozi”. Ọ bụru ẹku ụnwu-eliphe bẹ unu a-nọdu eri. Mbụ ọ bụru iphe-enweru phẹ bẹ unu e-gude eku onwunu. 
L'ọzori iphe-iphere, e gege anọdu eme ndibe mu bụ-chia iphe, e-me nụ bụ lẹ ndibe mu a-nata okiphe nnakwasẹ l'ẹka phẹ. Tẹme l'ọzori ekpu iphu lẹ ntụ bẹ ẹphe a-nọdu etechia ẹswa l'okiphe, ẹphe ketarụ. Ẹhu-ụtso ojejoje abụru nkephẹ. 
“Kẹle mbẹdua, bụ Chipfu bụ iphe, adụje mu ree bụ ikpe, pfụru nhamụnha. Ọphu dụkwanu mu ashị bụru ana nfụ yẹle eme ẹjo-ememe. Ọzo bụ lẹ mu e-me ire-lanụ bua ndibe mu obunggo. Tẹme mu l'ẹphe agbaa ndzụ ojejoje. 
Oshilọkpa phẹ abụru ndu a maru amaru l'ọhamoha. Nokwaphọ gẹ ndiphe a-maru awa phẹ. Iphe, bụkpoo onye hụmaru phẹ nụ a-majeẹrupho l'ẹphe bụ ndu Chipfu keberu l'ọma.” 
Mu a-nọdu Chipfu l'ẹka tee ẹswa. Mbụ l'obu mu bẹ ẹhu atsọ l'ime Chileke mu; kẹle o yewaru mu ndzọta g'uwe; bya egude apfụbekoto kwaa mu yẹgele g'onye yeru uwe mkpẹlanu. O meru mu; mu dụ gẹ nwoke, abya alụ nwanyị k'ọ̀phúú; mu kpuchia iphe l'ishi g'onye uke Chileke; mbụ mee mu; mu nọdu ama gẹ nwanyị, akwakọ ala ji; mbụ nwanyị, gude iphe-nchị yẹle iphe-olu kwaa onwiya akwa. 
Kẹle ọo g'alị emeje g'iphe fushia-a; tẹme mgbabu nọdu emeje g'iphe, a kụru iya mehu-a; nokwaphọ gẹ Nnajịuphu, bụ Chipfu e-me g'apfụbekoto yẹle ajaja kpọ-futa l'iphu ọhamoha.
