Okay, Shalyen, I see (that) your speech goes well.

To / Shalyen / hen na kut goe mûaan / nkyat.

But (I) ask another question from you again.

Amma / tal ndoe nyetal sek pûe goe zak-yit.

Since you have grown up on this earth of God, (when) some brother (of) you has ever sent you, (saying) you go (and) fetch him water.

Tun goeyool goe / goe yil Naan nnoehoe / ndoe yamnûûn goe tab'a paar goe / mûaan goe rap ji hangoed'e.

(Would) you refuse?

Goe nyang a?

Or maybe (when) someone among your sisters has ever sent you to the well--, (saying) you go (and) fetch her water.

Ko kuma nd'ûûn / ndoe reepnûûn goe tab'a paar goe nhang-- / mûaan goe rap ni hangoed'e.

(Do you) speak with her (saying) "no"?

Kut goe ni hai?

No, I am hurrying to go (for) learning.

Babu / hen d'e nshin / d'at de-goe mûaan / bi she.

I would ask you now, so that you (should) tell (and) give me the thing that is going (on).

Hen t'en tal sek / pûe goe nd'asoenoe / de goe t'em poe hen / bi d'e nmûaan yi.

If (it is) this, (it is like this in) his settlement.

La goesek / a lu muk.

When you refuse to honour your elder, the small child would answer your elder (and) turn himself against him.

La goe nyang goe-goe hoom / misk'oom goe ba / la nk'ong / t'ong / lap misk'oom goe / yir mmuk nni.

If you take the child (and) quarrel, often, the child would never do your work.

La goe mang la goe k'yap / yen / la t'ong tab'a shin shit goe ba.

If you take the child (and) you quarrel, often, the child would not listen to your talk.

La goe mang la / goe k'yap / yen / la t'ong k'oeleng k'wal goe ba.

If you take the child (and) you quarrel, the child would insult you.

La goe mang la / goe k'yap / la t'ong vûang goe.

If you take the child (and) you quarrel, the child would not go (and deliver) your messages.

La goe mang la / goe k'yap / la t'ong mûaan paar goe ba.

(This is) the reason (that) you are encountering these existing things, (they) are happening with us, the children.

A bi goesa toe / d'e t'ong goe kat / iri / bi nd'ennoe yi / d'e mparu yi / ndoe men / jap.

(My) mother, when (she) sends me, I go.

Nûûn / la paar hen / hen mûaan.

My older brother, when (he) sends me, I go.

Yamnûûn noe / goemisk'oom / la paar hen / hen mûaan.

My younger girl--, my younger sister, when I send her, she goes.

Reep noe goen-- / reepnûûn noe goenk'ong / hen la paar ni / ni mûaan.

My younger brother, when (I) send him, he goes.

Yamnûûn noe goenk'ong / la paar ni / ni mûaan.

My younger siblings, when I send them, they go.

Moejapnûûn noe moed'yen / hen la paar mûep / mûep mûen.

The elders, even, they know (how) the thing is going.

D'emde daask'oom =hok ma / mûep man / bi goed'e mmûaan yi.

Some day, they also went, (it is) so that, so that our mouths should return back straight.

T'at ndoe b'it / mûep mûen / ma zak / a de goepe / de pûe men goe yok yi nkyat.

And also that we do a good thing, all of us.

De kuma t'ong moe shin bi goed'emen yi / nk'wak men nni.

Okay.

To.

Your speech returned back well.

Kut goe wa nkyat.

I have heard how your speech is.

Hen k'oeleng boed'e kut goe.

Your speech returned back well.

Kut goe wa nkyat.

I ask a question from you now, since you grew up, who--, since you were born, was your father washing (i.e., taking care of) your body?

Hen tal d'ûe sek pûe goe nd'asoenoe / tun goeyo goe / a wuroe / tun goela goe / nda goe / d'e ns'uk sak toe a?

Or maybe (your) mother was washing your body so that you (would) become big.

Ko nûûn d'e ns'uk sak toe de goe f'yer yi.

Or maybe your mother spoke (and) said, you (should) take the road (and) go to church, (but) you refused.

Ko kuma nûûn goe kut wai goe ya wakaam goe mûaan mpin Naan / goe nyang.

Or maybe (she said), you (should) take the road (and) go to school, (but) you refused.

Ko kuma goe ya wakaam goe mûaan mmakaranta / goe nyang.

Okay.

To.

I will answer, how I know (it), (and) tell you.

Hen t'ong lap / goeman noe poe goe.

When I grew up (as) a child, I didn't know any mother (of) mine washing my body.
