Gụbe Chipfu, bụ Chileke, bụ onye agwatajẹ ụgwo iphe; jiko wanaa g'ẹnyanwu g'a hụma ngu! 
Gbalihunu gụbe onye ekpeje mgboko l'ophu ikpe! Jiko pfụnaa ndu eku onwophẹ ụgwo, gbaru phẹ nụ! 
Gụbe Chipfu; ?ndu ẹjo-iphe a-gbọkpo kwakoko-a, ẹphe agbọ-a jasụ teke ole? 
Ndu eme ẹjo-ememe anọduje etu onwophẹ ọphushugbu. Ẹphe epfunụkaje okporokpo opfu, ọnu phẹ asụdu epfupfu. 
Ndibe gụbe Chipfu bẹ ẹphe egweje uji; mbụ ndu ono, bụ okiphe ngu ono bẹ ẹphe akpapyashị ishi. 
Ụnwanyi, ji phẹ nwụhuru; yẹe ndu lwarụ alwalwa bẹ ẹphe aphụje aphụphu. Ẹphe eworu ndu enwedu nna gbushia. 
Ọobujeru; ẹphe -nọdu; ẹphe asụ: “Chipfu ta adụkwa iphe, ọohumaje; mbụ lẹ Chileke kẹ Jiékọpu ta adụkwa iphe, ọokpa ishi iya.” 
G'ọwa-a dokwaa unu ẹnya; unubẹ ndu egomunggo swehuru l'echilabọ ụnwu-eliphe; mbụ-a; unubẹ ndu eme eswe; ?bụ teke ole bẹ unu a-makpọoru iphe? 
?Bụ onye ono, bụ iya pfuberu nemadzụ nchị ta anụdu iphe lẹ nchị? Tọo ?bụ onye ono, moberu nemadzụ ẹnya ta aphụdu ụzo l'onwiya? 
?Bụchia onye ono, agbẹje ahụ̀ ndu amadụ iya nụ ahụ̀hù ono te edobedu unu g'unu a-dụ; mbụ ?bụ yẹbedua ono, anọduje ezi nemadzụ mmamiphe gbẹchia ọphu ọ madụ iphe l'onwiya? 
Chipfu makọtaru iphe, nemadzụ anọduje arị. Ọ maru l'ọriri phẹ bụkota iphe-mmanụ. 
Sụ-a; ẹhu-ụtso bẹ a gọru nụ onye gụbe Chipfu ahụ̀je ahụ̀hù; mbụ onye iigudeje ekemu ngu ezi iphe. 
Onye ono bẹ iimeje gẹ meji nmapfuru m'ọ nọdu eje iphe-ẹhuka; jasụ mbọku, ee-bu nsụ gẹ ndu ẹjo-iphe wụlahu. 
Noo kẹle Chipfu ta abyakpọdaa aha ndibe iya; ọphu ọ byakpodaa ekwe gẹ ndu bụ okiphe iya laa l'iswi. 
Noo kẹle ndu-ikpe a-wata ekpe ikpe, pfụru ọto. Ọ bụerupho ndu obu phẹ gụru ìphóró bụ ndu a-dụ ike tsokọta ikpe ono. 
?Bụ onye a-gbẹshi pfụ-doru mu; mekpeeru mu ndu ẹjo-iphe? ?Bụ onye a-pfụru l'ẹkiya nkemu lwụ-kpeeru mu ndu eme ẹjo-ememe? 
Ọ tọ bụ lẹ Chipfu gbaru mu mkpu; mẹ mu anọduhawaro l'alị ọ-larụ-nọdu-nggujingguji teke dụ ẹnya. 
Teke mu chiru mkpu sụ l'ẹpurukutu echikọtaakwa mu bẹ n-yemobu nkengu wọtaru mu gẹ mu ta ada. 
Teke mu watarụ arị oke ọriri bẹ ị dụru mu obu mee; ẹhu tsọahaa mu ụtso. 
?Ii-kwe gẹ gụ lẹ ndu-ishi, ete emedu iphe, pfụru ọto megba iphe; mbụ ndu egudeje ekemu emekpa ndu ẹphe achị ẹhu? 
Ẹphe edzukobeje g'ẹphe kpapyaa ndu pfụberekoto ishi. Ẹphe woru onye adụdu iphe, o meru kpee mpfugbu. 
Obenu l'ọo Chipfu bụ onye egbobutaje mu nụ. Ọo Chileke mu bụ oke agbara-mkpuma ono, mu agbabajẹ je edomia onwomu ono. 
Ọo ya a-pfụ phẹ ụgwo iphe-ẹji, ẹphe eme; tẹme ọ bụru iya e-mebyishi phẹ k'ẹjo-iphe ono, ẹphe eme ono. Ọo Chipfu, bụ Chileke anyi e-mebyishi phẹ.
