¹⁴Mu tukwutumadu punno'o oo tutubengu, “Hownnekoo sakwa numme besa natumunagakuna suu'mu oo natubesatuka?” Soo John mee mu nanekwegeana, “Mu sakwa gi mu numu nesuana hemma puma mu tumuna hanepana. Mu sakwa gi mu numu nemooagana mu esayikupana.”

¹⁵Mooasoo mu Jew numu oo sopedakwatoo ka tooe hannano tooe ka Te Pabe'e nanepetuna umu yise ka John Te Pabe'e mee sooyugwe.

¹⁶Soo John ka mu sokwamapunnena sopedakwadoona mee mu netamma, “Nu gi Mu Pabe'e. Nu gi oo-wa'ne unu pooha-ga'yoo. Nu baa-wi numu sukwe matzakayakwe. Soo Te Pabe'e nuga ooonakwa unu pooha-ga'yoo nuga ooonakwa besa'yoo. Soo Te Pabe'e ka Te Naa Besa Pooha-ma mu sootuhikwu oosoo suda mu manena mu nematzagakuse mu gi tunakabetseadu kadoo'oo namayugwekwu.

¹⁷Soo Te Pabe'e petuse ka mu numu yaa teepu-koobatu nemadabuedooa ka mu bebesow ka suta-nagakoo tzobadooa. Ka bebesow numu yise Te Naa nobe-kwi mu nabaa'yookukwu. Ka sutakoo numu gi tunaka'oedyukudu soo Te Pabe'e ka tubetse gi tokedu goso-witoo ma'anakwunikwu.”

¹⁸Meeoonekoo soo John ka o'nosoo ooosapa numu tunedyooe ka Te Naa besa unnepu-witu.

¹⁹Soo John ka mu numu baa-wi matzadyakwe, soo Te Pabe'e punno'o oo-baa petugase yise baa-wi namatzaka. Ka Te Pabe'e nanesootuhiwunu, soo Te Naa Besa Pooha pa'anakwana kwe'na'a tubongo punoonooe yotsekwuge-kwa'ne yise oonaga manipetu. Soo Te Naa pa'anakwana yadooase, mee unne, “U yow E Besaa Tooa, nu-kwa'ne'yoosoo.
