13 Mɛɛ o chii yooŋgu Mɛlɛkaa dimi, mbo kua o fondaŋ filioŋndo. 14 Mi bom ndɔ nyuna ndu nda buɛi ndɔɔ aa: “Kuɛɛnɛ nya wa yɛ?” Mbo muli aa: “Sofɛliaa naŋ wa nuuviaa ni,+ kɛ ŋ seeluŋ nda le.

17 Okoŋ kɔɔli, mi Saamiɛɛ chuuŋgiaa Isɔluɛiya Chɛhowa lachi Misipa.+ 18 Mbo dimul nda aa: “Nyɛ Chɛhowa, Mɛlɛka Isɔluɛiya dimi wo cho hoo ni: ‘Ya soli nya o lɛŋnde Ichipi leŋ niŋ ni, nduyɛ mi piŋi nya waŋnda Ichipi+ vɛlɛ a masɛi wa nya nyɛpalaa tusioo choo ve kpou o ba. 19 Kɛ hau, la kɛɛ Mɛlɛka nyaa,+ o piŋi nya o kpundɛla nyalaŋ niŋ, a o saŋga nya wa niŋ kpou wo, mi la dimi aa: “Hɛli waŋndo mbo wa naa choo masa.” Lelaŋ, la sim Chɛhowa lachi a kaala nyalaŋ, vɛlɛ a yuŋgula nyala yɛ yɛlaŋ.’*
