Ọo gụbe Chipfu bẹ mu nọ l'ẹka ezeru ndzụ. B'ekwekwa g'e kpua mu iphu lẹ ntụ jasụ l'ojejoje. Eshinu ị bụ onye pfụberekoto; nafụtanu mu. 
Gbobenụru mu nchị. Bya ẹgwegwa bya agbafụta mu. Bụnuru mu agbara-mkpuma, mu a-gbabajẹ je ezeeru ndzụ; mbụ ụlo-ezeru-ndzụ, a-dzọta mu nụ. 
Eshinu ị bụru mu agbara-mkpuma; bya abụru mu ụlo-ezeru-ndzụ; dunaa mu l'onwongu; kpọ-ziaru mu ụzo g'ẹpha ngu apfụru. 
Nafụta mu l'ọ́nyà ono, a gbabẹru mu onoya; kẹle ọo l'ime ngu bẹ mu gbabarụ je akwachia ndzụ mu. 
Mu yeru ngu unme mu l'ẹka. Gbafụtanu mu; jiko Chipfu, bụ Chileke, apfụshije ike l'iphe, i pfuru. 
Ndu akpọjeru obu yeru ọla-l'iswi ono, bụ agwa adụjekwa mu ashị. Onye mbẹdua dakoberu bụkwa Chipfu. 
Mu ete ẹswa; ẹhu nọdu atsọ mu ụtso l'i yeru mu obu; kẹle ị hụmaru iphe-ẹhuka, mu jeru; bya amaru lẹ pfụpfupfu shi egbu mu egbugbu; 
ọphu i woduru mu ye l'ẹka ndu ọhogu mu. Ọ chịa l'i kufutaru mu je edobe l'ẹka mu nọ tụsaru ẹhu. 
Jiko Chipfu; phụnuaaru mu obu-imemini; kẹle mu nọkwa l'oke mkpamẹhu. Mu rawaru ẹkwa-aphụ jasụ mu nọdu aphụ ragaraga; tẹme o mekwaaphọ; ike bvụshikotawa mu.

Ikpoto ndu achị mu lẹ njọ mewaru; mu bụru onye ndu obutobu mu akpọ ẹbo l'afụ. Ndu mu l'ẹphe eshi ọ̀nyà bẹ atsụchawa mu ebvu. Iphe, bụ ndu hụmaru mu lẹ gbororo anọduje agbaru mu ọso. 
Ẹphe tụko zọhaa mu g'aazọhaje onye nwụhuru anwụhu-a; mbụ lẹ mu dụwaa g'ite, tụkposhihuru atụkposhihu. 
Kẹle mu nụmawaru nvu azụ, ikpoto nemadzụ anọduje evu mu. Nta-a ta adụdu ẹka mu nọ gẹ ndzụ ta anọdu agụ mu. Ẹphe anọduje achịru mu ẹjo idzu. Iphe, ẹphe tụberu bụ g'ẹphe wofu ndzụ mu. 
Obenu l'ọo ngu bẹ mu dakoberu gụbe Chipfu. Mu epfu l'ọo ngu bụ Chileke mu! 
Gẹ mu a-nọ-beru l'eliphe-a bụ ngu bẹ ọ dụ l'ẹka. Nafụtanu mu l'ẹka ndu ọhogu mu; mẹ l'ẹka ndu achị mu nụ. 
Lenaa mụbe onye-ozi ngu ẹnya-ọma! Guderọ n-yemobu ngu dzọo mu! 
Jiko Chipfu; b'ekwekwa g'e kpua mu iphu lẹ ntụ; kẹle mu chikuwaru ngu lẹ mkpu. Ọo ndu ẹjo-iphe ono bẹ ee-kpuchia iphu lẹ ntụ; g'ọnu je a-bụru phẹ kpụrukudukuu l'alị-maa. 
G'ọnu ono, ẹphe gude adzụ orotophomu ono bụru phẹ kpụrukudukuu; kẹle ẹphe egudeje eku onwophẹ; waa akpọ nemadzụ ẹbo l'afụ; epfubyishi ndu pfụberekoto. 
Lewarọ g'adụ ree ngu habe shii; mbụ ree ono, i doberu ndu atsụ ngu ebvu ono. Ọ bụru l'iphu ụnwu-eliphe bẹ ịi-pfụru; meeru ndu gbabarụ l'ime ngu; ezeru ndzụ ree ono. 
Iiwojeru phẹ domia lẹ mgboru ẹka ị nọ; g'ẹjo idzu, ụnwu-eliphe chịru ta vụ l'ẹhu phẹ. Ọ bụru l'ibe ngu bẹ iidobeje phẹ; gẹ njọ opfu te erwu phẹ l'ẹhu. 
G'e tua Chipfu ẹpha; kẹle o goshiru mu n-yemobu iya, dụ biribiri teke mu nọ lẹ mkpụkpu, ọhogu nọ-pheru mgburugburu. 
Mu chia mkpu sụ: “Ephuhu mu l'iphu ngu-o!” Ị nụmaele-a mkpu, mu chikuru ngu; bya agbaarụ mu mkpu. 
Unu yee Chipfu obu; unubẹ ndu dụru iya nsọ g'unu haa; lẹ ndu Chipfu eleta ẹnya bụkwa ndu apfụshije ike l'iphe, ẹphe pfuru. Obenu lẹ ndu eku onwophẹ bẹ ọopfuje ụgwo iphe, ẹphe eme pfurwua phẹ iya l'ishi. 
Unu shihukpọepho ike gude ẹka l'obu; unubẹ ndu daru ngabẹru Chipfu!
