Ebo natu melutauina etega nu pem, inoke ya papasila te na pewa pasikal ni minaa Yehoba eliyam yawalina ana sauga bwalibwaligena, ge iya ni bwabwalena elam nige kokowana pupunona nihi totomwa.”

Inoke Hana i ba, “Ateu owa, tonowak! He sauga gegewena nau wam totuwalali nu yaliyaya-agau!” Yaka abwe i egon i na i anan, nige al nuwana i nanak.

Ya awanun wawaya toto ya kaiwena, yaka no awanun Yehoba i paolaolaek eliyau. 
Inoke sauga ya na guyauan pasikal elana, ge ni totuwalali iya kaiwena yawalina ana sauga gegewena.” Inoke hi tapwalolowa to Yehoba elana.
