10 Samting ya i mekem ol man oli fraet moa, mo oli askem hem se: “?Yu yu mekem wanem?” (Ol man ya oli harem se hem i bin ronwe long Jehova, from hem i bin talem long olgeta.)
11 Taswe oli talem long hem se: “?Mifala i mas mekem wanem long yu, blong mekem solwota i kam kwaet?” From we solwota i stap kam raf moa.
12 Hem i ansa se: “Yufala i leftemap mi mo sakem mi mi go long solwota, mo solwota bambae i kam kwaet, from mi save se mi nao mi mekem se strong win ya i kasem yufala.”
13 Be ol man ya oli traehad blong pul,* blong mekem se sip i go long so, be oli no save mekem from we solwota i stap kam raf moa raonabaot long olgeta.
