?Bụ urwu gụnu bẹ ọkpu ẹka phẹ barụ mu; eshinu ike adụedu phẹ? 
Ẹphe anọduje eje phururugbada eje eje l'ẹnyashi lẹ mgbẹgu alị ọkponku; ẹka ẹjeka dụ phẹ; tẹme ẹgu nọdu eme phẹ.

Ọ bụru ẹgube ndu ono bẹ ụnwu phẹ gbẹ nta-a wata mu agụru ebvu phuahaa mu iphu. Mu bya bya abụru iphe, ẹphe gude atụ phukuku.

Ẹphe tochishia ụzo mu; bya emekpọepho jasụ ẹphe mebyishia mu; ọphu ọ dụdu g'ọ ka mma l'ọo onye lanụ, gbaru mu mkpu. 
Ẹphe nọdu asọ kpereree eje abya; awụ gbụtugbutu; eshi ụzo, dụ l'igbulọ mkpụkpu ono, ẹphe tsukpọshiru ono eje abya. 
Ndzụ rwuta mu; nwubvu, e shi akwabẹje mu bẹ a chịru ọso. O phekashịhu g'iphe, phẹrephere pataru. Ẹku mu phukashịhu g'ẹka urwukpu phukashịhuru l'igwe. 
Nta-a bẹ ndzụ mu eribufuwa. Iphe, zụru mu gburumu pfụrii bụwaa eswe iphe-ẹhuka. 
Ẹnyashi anọduje anyapyashị mu ọkpu. Ẹka-iphe-nọ-mu ono, anọduje ata mu kwaramu kwaramu ono l'anọdujeepho ata mu nno mkpụrumkpuru. 
Chileke gude ọkpehu iya lọkota uwe mu nmaa ẹrupfureru; bya eworu mbẹdua l'ophu tsụpfua gẹ mu atsụpfuje olu uwe mu-a. 
Ọ parụ mu chie l'ime ẹpuchi. Mu nọdu l'ẹka ono; o woru mu gwee arakabya. 
Mu chiku ngu lẹ mkpu gụbe Chileke; ọphu i yedụru mu ọnu. Mu gbalihu pfụru apfụru; ọ bụleru-a ẹnya bẹ i leru mu kpoloko. 
Ị bya aghaaru mu iphu bya eworu mu mee omeliwe. I gude ogboro ẹka ngu, ha ntụmatu eme mu omeliwe.

Sụ-a; ọ tọ dụkwa onye ahụmajechaa onye ike bvụwaru bya ejeshia ya echi iphe. L'ẹka oochi ojilẹka tọgbo l'iphe, eme iya nụ. 
?Ọ kwa lẹ mbẹdua shi abụjeru; mu -hụma onye eje iphe-ẹhuka; mu araaharu iya ẹkwa? ?Mu te eshidu abụjeru; mu -hụma onye ụkpa; meji awashịhu mu awashịhu? 
Obenu lẹ mu leru ẹnya iphe, dụ ree; ọ bụru ẹjo iya bẹ mu hụmaru. Mu lee ẹnya l'ìphóró a-dụru mu; ọ bụru ọchii tụkoru ẹkameka gbachia.
