2 I cho kpemaa yii naa num tɛɛŋ, nduyɛ mi tosa ma kui tau tau.”
3 Le hei, mi Ebilam baŋ wulaŋ mbo fuuluu hɔlla lɛŋ. Okoŋ mi Mɛlɛka hiau lachi a suɛi naa ndu chua, mbo dimi aa:
4 “I yii kpemaa a num, nduyɛ a cho simnɔŋ finyaa le kaala bɔɔbɔɔ.
5 Diola numnda cho lɛ Ebilam* te, kɛ diola numndaŋ niŋ aa Ebilaham,* kanifuule I cho tosa ma simnuŋ finyaa le kaala bɔɔbɔɔ.
6 I cho tosa ma kui tau tau, nduyɛ ma simnuŋ kaalaŋ. I cho tosa mi masaa fula o num niŋ.
7 “I cho loonɔŋ a kpema ya yii a numndo. Nduyɛ, o cho wa naa tɛɛŋ naa chuauwaa numnda,* vɛlɛ a chuauwaa ndaa mamaa le fɛɛŋ a fɛɛŋ, le mi wa Mɛlɛka numndo a Mɛlɛka chuauwaa numnda.*

9 Mi Mɛlɛka chɔɔlu Ebilaham dimul aa: “Kɛ num a chuauwaa numnda,* vɛlɛ a chuauwaa ndaa mamaa kpou, la nɔ mi la loonuŋ a kpema nuu.
10 Kpema ya yii a num, le mi num a chuauwaa numnda* loonuŋ ndo cho hoo ni. Wana pɔnɔ kɛ kɛ nya tɛɛŋ nɔ mbo sɔla hivi chiɛi kɔɔlioo.
11 La nɔ mi la sɔla hivi chiɛi kɔɔlioo,* nduyɛ hei cho wa tamasioo ni le kpema ya yii a nya wo.
12 Wana pɔnɔ kɛ kɛ veluŋ pɛ o numndo chiɛiniŋ, o nɔ mbo sɔla hivi chiɛi kɔɔlioo o paale ŋɔmaa leŋ choo. Nduyɛ wana pɔnɔ kɛ kɛ fula o yuŋgu numndo choo le, kɛ ma piandu ndu a kaniei* wana lekaa wo o ba, ndu bɛɛ nɔ mbo sɔla hivi chiɛi kɔɔlioo. La nɔ mi la wa hei tosaa chɔŋ a boondii nyɛi mbo kuɛ kɛ.
13 Wana pɔnɔ kɛ kɛ veluŋ o numndo chiɛiniŋ, a wana pɔnɔ kɛ kɛ ŋ pendu a kanii numnde, o nɔ mbo sɔla hivi chiɛi kɔɔlioo. Kpema ya yii a nya wo cho wa o dialuŋ nyaŋ maa tamasi, nduyɛ mbo wa le fɛɛŋ a fɛɛŋ.
14 Te wana pɔnɔ sɔla hivi chiɛi kɔɔli le wo kɛɛ pɛ le ma hivi ndu o chiɛi kɔɔli,* wana koŋ nɔ mbo sɔla piɔmndo, kanifuule o tɛɛmbuu kpema nuu.”
15 Okoŋ mi Mɛlɛka dimul Ebilaham aa: “Laa num Seluai,* veelu lɛ ndu aa Seluai le, kanifuule diola ndɔlaŋ niŋ aa Sela.*
16 I cho ndu salaa dɔwɔɔ, nduyɛ mi tosa mbo vilul num poo. I cho ndu salaa dɔwɔɔ, nduyɛ mbo simnuŋ kaalaŋ. O ndu niŋ masaa fula niŋ ni.”
17 Le hei, mi Ebilaham baŋ wulaŋ mbo fuuluu hɔlla lɛŋ. Okoŋ mbo kandu mamɔɔ, mbo dimi o kɔl niŋ aa: “Baa wana pɔnɔ chii niŋ wɔsilaŋ 100 wo nɔla lɛ pa mbo velu hɔɔ? Baa Sela, wana lanɔ chii niŋ wɔsilaŋ 90 wo nɔla lɛ pa mbo velu?”
18 Okoŋ, mi Ebilaham dimul Mɛlɛka tonyaa aa: “A yandii, maa dɔu Isimɛɛ sala fɔ!”
19 Mi Mɛlɛka dimi aa: “Sela laa num kpeekpei cho num poo vilul ni, nduyɛ ma ke ndu diolaŋ aa Aase.* I cho kpemaa yii a ndu, nduyɛ kpema koŋ cho wa le ndu vɛlɛ a chuauwaa nduaa* o ndu kɔɔli le fɛɛŋ a fɛɛŋ.
20 Kɛ Isimɛɛ ndu, I tuei nyɛ ŋ dimi a ndu okɔɔ wo. Lelaŋ, I cho ndu salaa dɔwɔɔ, nduyɛ mi tosa mbo velu chuauwa ma kui tau tau. O cho puaa 12 violɔɔ, ma simnuŋ yuŋgula leboltaŋ. I cho tosa mbo simnuŋ kaale bɛnduleŋ.

22 Mɛɛ Mɛlɛka chii suukaŋndo a Ebilaham, mi Mɛlɛka kuaŋnuŋ.
23 Nduyɛ o paale leŋ choo kpeekpei, mi Ebilaham chua Isimɛɛ po ndɔ a puaa veluŋ o chiɛi ndɔɔ niŋnda kpou, vɛlɛ a wana o wana o pendu a kaniei, wana pɔnɔ kɛ kɛ wa o chiɛi Ebilaham ndo niŋ, mbo hivi nda o chiɛi kɔɔli,* mɛɛ Mɛlɛka ndoo dimul ndu yɛ.
