“Gụa ebvu; gụbe nwanyị, ta atsụdu ime! Mbụ gụbe onye teke ezedaswee nwa. Chikpọta ebvu! Rwua gerwugerwu; mbụ gụbe onye ono, ime teke emeswee ono; kẹle ụnwu gụbe nwanyị, dabyiru mgbegere a-kakwa shii eme l'ụnwu nwanyị alụ ji.” Nokwa iphe, Chipfu eepfu. 
Phọribekwaru ụlo-ẹkwa, i bu ebubu g'ọ ka ọsa! Mee g'ẹkwa, e gude mee ụlo ngu ọbu ha phalaphala; ba lọ-phukwa iya azụ! Mekwaa g'eri iya kabaa ogologo! Mekwaa g'abara iya kabaa angụru angụru! 
Noo kẹle ii-mechaa jaa àjàjà buru laa l'ẹkutara buru laa l'ẹkicha. Awa ngu phẹ l'a-naphuchaa ọhamoha ono azụ; je ebuchishichaa mkpụkpu phẹ ono, bụgbaa ochobu ono.

Ẹhu ghuru mu eghu nwanshịi. Mu woru iphu mu domiaru ngu kpọo nwụpfu nwanshịi. Obenu lẹ mu e-ye ngu obu ojejoje gude phụaru ngu obu-imemini.” Nokwa iphe, oopfu; mbụ Chipfu, bụkwapho onye agbafụtaje ngu. 
“L'ẹhu nkemu bẹ ọwa-a dụkwaa gẹ teke kẹ Nuwa, bụ teke mu riru nte sụ l'utso, dụ teke ono taa dụbaedu lẹ mgboko ọzobaa. Nta-a bẹ mu riwaru nte sụ l'ẹhu tee ghubaẹdu mu eghu l'opfu ẹhu ngu; ọphu mu ababaẹduru ngu mba ọzo. 
O -betakpọ úbvú l'ophu nmakọta jiijiijii; a pashịa obvu obvu, l'ẹka ẹphe nọgbaa; bẹ n-yemobu ojejoje ono, mu yeru ngu ono ta aphọngakwa aphọnga; ọphu ọgbandzu ẹhu-guu nkemu ono egbukahụkwa egbukahụ.” Nokwa iphe, oopfu; mbụ Chipfu ono, aphụru ngu obu-imemini ono. 
Gụbe mkpụkpu ono, eje iphe-ẹhuka ono, oke phẹrephere enwunga; ọphu ọ dụdu onye agbaru ngu mkpu; mu e-gude mkpuma, amashị mma ike kpụ-phu ngu azụ. Mu egude mkpuma sáfàyà tụ-phu ọkpa-ụlo igbulọ ngu azụ. 
Mu e-me g'eli igbulọ ngu ono g'ọ ha bụkotaru mkpuma rubi. Mu egude mkpuma, aphụ ngerengere, gude kpụa ọnu-abata ngu; gude mkpuma, vu oke aswa kpụkota igbulọ ngu l'ophu. 
Ụnwegirima ngu g'ẹphe ha bụ mụbe Chipfu e-zi phẹ iphe l'onwomu. Tẹme ụnwu ngu bẹ ẹhu a-dụkpoo guu mebyi adụdu. 
Ee-me g'ị ngụru angụru l'ụzo, pfụru ọto. Ọ tọ dụdu onye byaru eme ngu mmegbu; ọphu ọ dụdu iphe, byaru eme ngu g'ị tsụa ebvu. Ndzụ-agụgu bẹ ee-wofu l'ẹka ị nọ je edobe ụzenya; ọphu ọobyadu ngu ntse ililekpọo. 
O -nweru onye tsoru ngu opfu; ọ tọ bụduru mu bẹ o shi l'ẹka. Onye etso ngu opfu bụ: o -mechaa l'o yeru ngu ẹka l'alị. 
“Tii ledu; ọ kwa mbẹdua meru onye-ụ́zú ono, anmajẹ eko l'icheku jasụ l'o nwuhu ọku ono; gude iya kpụa ngwa ọgu l'ọ dụ k'egude alwụ ọgu. Tẹme ọ bụkwarupho mbẹdua meru onye mmebyi g'o mebyishia iphe. 
Ọ tọ dụkwa iphe, a kpụru g'e gude meka ngu iphe, byaru evujeru ire. Tẹme iphe, bụkpoo onye ebo ngu ibo bẹ ire a-gwọje ẹji. Nokwa iphe, ndu-ozi kẹ mụbe Chipfu eketa l'ẹka mu. Tẹme ọ bụkwarupho ono bụ ọdzori; mu nọdu agbaru phẹ iya.” Nokwa iphe, Chipfu eepfu.
