Nụmaro epfupfu, mu epfu anụ ngu gụbe Chileke! Ba agbakwa mu nkụchi; kẹ g'ị ba anụma arwọrwo, mu arwọ ngu. 
Ngabẹru mu nchị zaa mu ẹnu l'oku, mu eku ngu! Ọriri mu anọduje egburwashị mu ẹhu; k'ọphu o meru; mu nọdu anọduje atsụ oke ude. 
Iphe, kparụ iya nụ bụru olu ndu ọhogu mu, mu anụ; waa mkpawere, ndu ẹjo-iphe eme mu; kẹle ẹphe anọduje achịru mu ẹjo idzu; bya egude ẹhu-eghu epfubyishi mu. 
Aphụ jiru mu obu; anwụhu nọdu eye mu ebvu eyeshikpọ mu iya ike. 
Ndzụ agụ mu agụshikpoo mu ike; ẹhu nọdu aphụkota mu kpaakpaakpaa. Ishi nọdu anyị mu ẹdzu. 
Mu sụ l'ọ dụ mu g'a sụ lẹ mu furu ǹkù gẹ ndo; mẹ mu ephefuẹpho je achọo ẹka mu a-nọdu tụta unme; 
mẹ mu epheẹpho phemihu je eburu l'echiẹgu; 
mẹ mu emeẹpho ẹgwegwa lashịa l'ụlo-mgbobuta mu; mbụ ẹka oke phẹrephere adụdu. 
Mebyishinaa idzu ndu ẹjo-iphe jiko Nnajịuphu! L'ịghashia phẹ olu-opfu! Kẹle mu hụmaru lẹ ndu mkpụkpu ono eme nwibe phẹ mkpawere; tẹme ẹphe nọdu ese opfu. 
Ẹphe anọduje awụ-phe l'igbulọ mkpụkpu ono: eswe l'ẹnyashi. Iphe-ẹji yẹe iphe-ẹhuka nọdu azọgba g'ọ dụ phẹ l'ime mkpụkpu ono. 
Ẹjo-iphe pfụkwarupho l'echilabọ iya; tẹme ọphu mkpamẹhu yẹe ụghoshi alụfujedu alụfu l'edupfu phẹ. 
Ọme ọ bụ l'ọo ndu ọhogu mu anma mu phulaphula; mẹ mu -atamikwaa ya lẹ nshi. Ọzoo ọme l'ọo onye mu dụ ashị bẹ etu onwiya ọphushugbu l'ẹka mu nọ; mẹ mu -edomikwaaru iya onwomu. 
Obenu l'ọo gụbedua, bụ onye ẹbo mu; bya abụru onye mu l'iya aswị ọswi; bya eshikwaphọ ọ̀nyà bẹ ọ gbẹ bụru. 
Mbụ onye mu l'iya kwatakpọo eshi ụtso; bya abụru onye mu l'iya atụkoje swịru eje l'eze-ụlo Chileke. 
G'ọnwu byakwa egbukwota ndu ọhogu mu egbukwota! G'ẹphe bụkwaru ndu ee-li lẹ ndzụ! Kẹle ẹjo-iphe kwawaru ịkwato l'ime obu phẹ. 
Obenu lẹ mbẹdua bụ Chileke bẹ mu araku; kẹle mu maru lẹ Chipfu e-mechaa bya adzọo mu. 
Mu egudeje olu aphụ echiku iya lẹ mkpu l'ụzenyashi; mẹ l'ụtsu; waa l'eswe. Mu maru-a l'oo-mecha nụma olu mu. 
Ọo-nafụta mu l'ẹka ndu etso mu ọgu. Ẹphe -dụkpokwaa igwerigwe g'ẹphe adụhabe bẹ ọo-nafụtaele mu-a. Ọ tọ dụdu iphe, ẹphe eme mu. 
Chileke, bụ onye shi l'ichee nọduta l'aba-eze iya bẹ a-nụma olu mu; bya anụa phẹ chịipfuu. Kẹle ẹphe jịkaru agbanwe; tẹme ọphu ẹphe atsụdu Chileke ebvu. 
Onye mu l'iya shi aswị ọswi tsoru ọ̀nyà iya ọgu; shi nno mebyia ọgbandzu, ẹphe l'iya gbaru. 
Opfu, shi iya l'ọnu nọdu echi bụruburu g'ụkpa; ọle iphe, jiru iya obu bụ ndụmashi. Mbụ l'opfu iya atụ atụtu gẹ manụ ụrwazi; ọle ọotsu nkọ g'ogu-echi, a bataru nkọ. 
Woru iphe ono, e boru ngu g'i vuru ono haarụ Chipfu. Ọo-dụ-a ike gudeshia ngu; kẹle ọ tọ byadu aha ndu pfụberekoto g'ẹphe daa. 
Obenu l'ọo gụbedua, bụ Chileke l'e-duru ndu ẹjo-iphe duba l'ime ilu; ẹka ẹphe a-nọdu rekashịhu. Ndu egbu ọchi waa ndu ntuphu-ire bẹ i tii kwedu g'ẹphe kpọo ụpfu l'eliphe-a. Obenu lẹ mbẹdua bụ ngu bẹ mu dakoberu.
