1 Mɛngɔ mɛnɛ Yɛso kwebɛlɛ osɔmya bato, eoto eolo ya bato yesambanɛ na bebɛlɛ ohinana yolo bebɛlɛ bɛ̌ngi. Yɛso kwetangilɛ okanina bakikiwa bakɛ kɛte: «Mobɛ lwɛngɛlolomɛ na n’shimi* kwa Bafalisayɔ, i okana bubisakolo bwabɔ. 2 Eto yɔsɛ yɛnɛ yeibisiwɛ, yebisulwa, na eya yêteɛ m’bubisɔkɔlɔ yemanyiwa. 3 Obiya, biya byɔsɛ bya mwǎtɔkɔma n’n’tɔ, bato bebiholecha n’chǒba, na biya bya mwekaninana oyomba ehambwɛ, byekaniwa lete leolo hakolo sɛsɛ.»

4 Ohwa, Yɛso kwekaninɛ eyǎka bato kɛte: «Nan’kanina bɛnywɛ makɛnda manyi: mushibɛ na bɔ̌ba o baya benahaka m’bele, ela ohwa ohaka, bashinaɔsha oeta engɛ eto. 5 Nem’mɔnya koya minɛ kwamwenaba omɔna bɔ̌ba: mobɛ na bɔ̌ba bwa Abɛcha minɛ kwenaɔsha osapa mwɛkɔ kwa n’to, na ohwa okosapa, kwe na boɔmɛ́ bwa on’tɛla n’ta Jɛanamu.

22 Ohwa, Yɛso kwekaninɛ balɔmbwɛ bakɛ kɛte: «Yolo ya biya nan’kanina kɛte: mushibɛ onyɔngɔtɛlɛla elewa yolo ya mwɛkɔ kwɛnyu, aɔ onyɔngɔtɛlɛla ngobɔ yolo ya mibele kyɛnyu. 23 Yolo mwekɔ kwɛnyu nǎ kwé konyɛmu wɛ̌ne oheta elewa, na mibele kyɛ̌nyu nǎ kye kenyɛmu wɛ̌ne oheta ngobɔ. 24 Monakwɛ eta ya bǐmpole: Bishibaona, bishibakembola eyǎka bishibabea elewa na bishibaba na ahɔmba.
