Anọdu ndzụ dụkwaa mu ẹnyiru. Ọo ya bụ lẹ-a; gẹ mu bya evushia mgburwashị-ẹhu mu kụbe; mbụ lẹ mu e-pfugbuẹpho g'ooghube mu l'obu. 
Mu a-sụ Chileke: Ta anmashịnu mu ikpe! Gụshichiaru mu iphe, bụ iphe, ịisu l'ọo ya bụ iphe, mu meru! 
Tọo ?bụkpoepho iphe, dụ ngu ree bụ g'i mee mu mkpawere; g'ị gbuphua iphe, i gude ẹka ngu mee; ọle idzu, ndu ẹjo-iphe chịru bẹ bụle-a ọnu-ọchi bẹ ịinwujajeru iya? 
?Bụ ẹnya nemadzụ mmanụ bẹ i nweru? Mbụ ?bụ gẹ nemadzụ eleje iphe ẹnya bụ gẹ gụbedua eleje? 
?Bụ gẹ nemadzụ anọ-bejeru bụ gẹ ịi-nọ-beru? Mbụ ?bụ apha ole, nemadzụ anọje bẹ ịi-nọkwapho? 
mbụkwanu meru g'o gude ị nọdu avọkpoepho achọ ẹka o deru mu; akpa ishi iphe, mu meru ngu ẹji. 
Ole ị makwarụ l'ikpe ta anmadụru mu; tẹme ọphu ọ dụdu onye a-nafụta mu l'ẹka ngu. 
Ọo ngu gude ẹka ngu mee mu gẹ mu dụ-a. ?Ịi-bya aghakọbe nta-a bya emebyishiẹhukwa mu phọ? 
Nyatakwa l'ị kpụru mu g'eegudeje ụrwa kpụa iphe. ?Ịi-bya bya egwee mu uji ọzo tọo? 
?Tọbudu g'aawụje ẹra-eswi-a bụ g'ị wụru mu ye; bya emee mu; mu daa adada g'ọhu-manụ? 
Ị bya eworu akpọ-ẹhu yẹe anụ-ẹhu yee mu g'onye yeru uwe; bya egude ọkpu yẹe ụmi-ọkpu dzepfua mu nanụ. 
Ọo ngu meru; mu nọdu ndzụ; tẹme ị nọdu egoshi l'i yeru mu obu. Ọ bụru g'i gude ehe mu meru g'o gude ị nọdu eche ndzụ mu nche. 
Ọle i wolẹru-a iphe-a domia l'ime ọkpoma ngu; mbụ lẹ mu maru-a l'ọo iphe, ị tụru atụ̀tù dobe l'ime obu ngu; 
lẹ mu -mee iphe-ẹji bẹ ịi-nọdukpoepho ege mu ngge; ọphu ịigujeduru mu nvụ mẹ mu meswee. 
Ikpe -nmaa mu; bẹ ọ bụkwapho aphụ tsọru mu! Iswi -dụkpoo mu nụ mma; mu ta apalidu ishi apali; kẹle iphere dụshi mu ike; tẹme iphe-ẹhuka, mu eje ripyabẹwa mu. 
Mu -woru ishi ngakobe; l'ị chịaha nta mu g'ẹka oduma achị nta iphe, oo-ri; l'i woru ọkpehu ngu ono, dụ biribiri ono tukoshi mu. 
Tekenteke bẹ ịichikobeje ndu a-nọdu agba mu ekebe; tẹme ị nọdu anọduje avụru mu ọvuma. Ndu ojọgu ngu nọdu atụ kpereree abya mu etso ọgu. 
Mbụ-a; ?bụnaa gụnu meru g'o gude i kufuta mu l'ophu l'ophu l'ẹpho ne mu? Ọ dụ mu g'a sụ lẹ nemadzụ -byaru ahụma mu ẹnya; mu nwụhuwaa. 
O gege aka mu ree; ọme mu ta adụjekpodarunu adụdu ophu; ọzoo ọme a nwụru mu paa mu eli eli jeye l'ilu. 
Nwujiku olemole, mu nweru; ?tọo bvụada? Wofunu iphu l'ẹka mu nọ; k'ọphu ẹhu a-tsọkpo mu nwa ililekpọo; 
tẹme mu alashịwaro ẹka bụ: a -laa; a lwagụ azụ; ẹka agba ọchii bya adụ tsụkiribaa; 
ẹka ẹnyashi nkiya bụ abalị-ishi; ẹka bụ iphe, dụ iya nụ bụ tsụkiribaa; iphemiphe, dụ iya nụ ghalashịhu aghalashịhu; ẹka nwiphe, dụ g'ìphóró, dụ iya nụ dụ g'ẹka ọchii agba l'ibiya-a.”
