Kɛ pɔnɔ ndɔ ndu wa ŋuasu ŋuasu, nduyɛ kɔl vesɛiyo pila ndoo nɔ ni.+ 4 Deeve wa o pollo niŋ mbo tuɛi maa Nabaa cho saa nduaa yiiŋnde kilioo. 5 Okoŋ, mi Deeve viam puaa feleŋguaa tɔ o ndu lo. Mbo dimul nda aa: “La kɔ Kamɛɛ. Te la fuuluu pɛ naa Nabaa chua, la yil la ndu lapi. 6 Okoŋ mi la dimul ndu aa, ‘Maa viou yoomu,* nduyɛ mi nyɛ o nyɛ wa o kɛndɛ a num fɔ.

9 Okoŋ mi puaa feleŋguaa Deeve wa kɔ dimul Nabaa nyɛ o nyɛ Deeve dimul nda. Mɛɛ nda chii ndu kona dounɔŋ, 10 mi Nabaa dimul buɛiyaa Deeve wa aa: “Wana maavɛɛ Deeve, po Chɛɛse wo cho yɛ?

14 Mɛɛ teleŋ tiŋ hiou, mi buɛiyaa Nabaa wa o pilɛ kɔ dimul Abikɛɛ laa ndɔ aa: “Wɛɛŋndo, mi Deeve viam waŋnda fulaa o pollo niŋ le ma huŋ yil masanɔ naa.
