Okay, Naantwaam, when we sit here, we sit (and it is) because of things that would not go wrong.

Okay, the European person rose (in) her own way, or maybe, we call (it), we talk (and) say, the European lay (it) down.

To / gurum goeb'ang / yool bi muk / ko kuma / moe yong / moe k'wal moe yi / Nasara b'ûet.

The European rose (in) her own way, from the place of her town, (she) found us here.

She doesn't have a mother.

She doesn't have a father.

She doesn't have siblings.

Ni goe moejapnûûn ba.

She isn't a relative to anybody.

She also isn't in our country, in her country.

Ni kuma a goe yil men ba / a goe yil muk ba.

Okay, so that (she) found us in our country, what would we do with her?

To / de kat men yi goe yil men / t'ong moe shin nd'ang ndoe ni?

We receive her with our two hands.

Moe lap ni goe s'a men vel-vel.

We are happy.

T'yak men pya.

Because we have never seen this kind (of person) (who) sits here in our country.

Nyegoepe moe tab'a moe na iri goennoe / doe t'ong goe yil men ba.

Would (she) insult people?

T'ong vûang gurum fa?

(Because) people step on her foot?

Gurum p'yak a nsh'e muk a?

No.

Kwai.

Would (she) insult people?

T'ong vûang gurum fa?

Because (of) the things that happen (and which she would) lack?

Nyegoepe / bi goenshin / wan yi toe a?

No.

Kwai.

Would she insult people?

Ni t'ong vûang gurum fa?

Because she sees the worries of people?

Nyegoepe / ni na / a dama gurum =hok a?

No.

Kwai.

Would she insult people?

Ni t'ong vûang gurum fa?

Because she arrived here in our country (and she) is (here to) insult us?

Nyegoepe / ni wul b'ak / goe yil men a d'e nd'e / foelep men a?

No.

Kwai.

Or maybe (she) is (here to) insult us?

Ko kuma d'e nd'e vûang men a?

You see this would not be good.

Goe na goesek / t'ong d'ong ba.

She arrived.

Ni wul.

When she arrived, and she arrived because of work, so that she would find progress.

Pûe wul muk / kuma ni wul / a de shit / goepe / ni t'ong kat / s'oe nkyem.

We, too, we would find progress.

Men ma t'ong moe kat / s'oe nkyem.

Like (on) this day of today, when we are on this earth of God, someone who would know, someone who would walk on this earth, someone different, (he) isn't there.

Goebi b'it goe shini nnoe / goed'e men goe yil Naan nnoe / ndoe gurum goet'ong man / gurum goepe t'ong mûaan / goe yil / ndoe gurum / goek'em / d'e d'i ba.

Everyday that when God would go towards some place, (she) sits prepared (to) insult--, insult, (she) isn't (prepared) to go insulting people.

Duk b'it goepe / Naan la t'ong / mûaan goe zuwa ndoe pe / t'ong goe shirya / a v-- / vûang / de-goe mûaan d'e nvûang ndoe gurum ba.

Did you prepare some talking (saying) that (she) would make someone unhappy, so that (you) know (she) is making him unhappy on his earth?

Goe nyap a ndoe k'wal / goepe t'ong dam k'yak ndoe gurum / de man d'e ndam k'yak muk / goe yil muk fa?

You prepare this, you prepare happiness.

Goe nyap / goennoe / goe nyap / a bi k'yak pya.

(For) one, when you go in the place, you know (that) maybe they are not insulting anybody.

Goeme / la goe mûaan d'i mpe =hok / goe man ko / mûep d'e nvûang gurum yi ba.

Or maybe when they are insulting people.

Ko mûep la d'e nvûang gurum yi.

(Would) you live by yourself as if you (were) a deaf person?

Or maybe when they are insulting people.

Ko mûep la d'e nfoelep gurum yi.

(Would) you live as if (you were) a deaf person?

Goe lang / goebi goedoorhoe?

Or maybe when they talk (and) say (that) they stepped (i.e., insulted) on your mother, stepped on your father.

Ko mûep la k'wal mûep yi / mûep p'yak nûûn goe / p'yak nda goe.

(Would) you stand, or rather, (would) you sit as if (you were) a deaf person?

Goe / d'yem / ko kuma goe t'ong / goebi gurum / goedoorhoe?

Okay, also, at the beginning, her work was (there) with her, (if) she would have insulted someone here, when you are seeing (her now), would she sit here in our country in health?

To / kuma / pûe / shit muk / d'e toe goe ni / ni t'ong doe vûang gurum / goed'e goe na / ni t'ong doe t'ong goe yil menhoe / kyoop a?

No.

Kwai.

(She) would not sit here in our country in health.

T'ong doe t'ong goe yil men kyoop ba.

Because even we, we would not let her.

Nyegoepe ko men ma / t'ong moe nyet ni ba.

We (would) talk (and) say, she arrived to insult, that we would insult, or maybe they (would) insult, that we would insult.

Moe k'wal moe yi ni wul / a de / foelep / goet'ong foelep men / ko kuma mûep vûang goet'ong vûang men.

God made her arrive.

Naan sa ni wul.

Her work between her and God, God made (her) find Thomas (Longpuan) here, and also find the Reverend Father.

Shit muk / s'akani muk ndoe Naan / Naan sa doe kat Thomas / ko kuma kat nda nk'ong lu.

Until (she) then returned back to me, and then returned to Victor, and then returned to Naanshep, and then returned to you, you, Naantwaam, that you sit (here) on this day of today.

Har goe-goe wa yi k'a noe / goe ba yi k'a Victor / goe-goe ba yi nk'a Naanshep / goe / goe ba yi nk'a / goe / goe Naantwaam / goet'ong goe mb'it goe shini nnoe.

Okay, we are (so that we) do this thing.

Away, God made (it that) you are together with me.

Nkwa / Naan sa / goe d'e goeshak ndoe hen.

And I, too, I am together with you.

Kuma / hen zak / hen d'e goeshak ndoe goe.

If (she) had quarreled, we are here (so that we) quarrel together with her.

D'in la k'yap / moe d'e moe k'yap yi goeshak ndoe ni.

(She) would not have sat next to me, or rather, (she) would not have sat next to us.

D'in t'ong goe k'us hen ba / ko kuma / d'in t'ong goe k'us / men ba.

If (she) had insulted (us), we are here (so that we) insult together with her, you, Naantwaam, (she) would not have sat next to us.

D'in la / vûang / moe d'e moe vûang yi goeshak ndoe ni / goe Naantwaam / d'in t'ong goe k'us men ba.

Okay, God also made (it that) we are here.

To / Naan sa kuma / moe d'e b'ak.

She didn't insult anybody.

Ni vûang ndoe gurum ba.

Also, they have never heard us (that) we quarreled, even so that (she) should find us.

Kuma / mûep tab'a k'oeleng men moe k'yap ba / har de goe kat men yi.

So you come (and) are with our assistance, with happiness.

Goe doe yi d'e ndoe taya men / goe k'yak pya.

We, we receive our own, (in) our happiness, with our two hands.

Men / moe lap mmen / k'yak pya men / goe s'a men / vel-vel.

Okay, (this is) your talk (now), I listen.

To / goek'wal goe / hen k'oeleng.

When you grew up, you, Naantwaam, what are the names of things that you have never heard in the Goemai language?

Goeyool goe / goe Naantwaam / a s'em bi mmoe / goepe goe tab'a yi goe k'oeleng / nd'ûe Goemai / ba?

So that they refused to tell you?

Mûep nyak yi goe t'em poe goe?

Since I grew up I have never heard names of such-and-such things in the Goemai language that they (would have) refused to tell me.

Tun goeyool noe / de hen boetab'a k'oeleng / s'em bi kaza / nd'ûe Goemai / de mûep nyak goe t'em poe hen ba.

And where I sit, since I grew up, since I grew up (as) a child, here, what (they) call the country of Kwande, I did my schooling here, I finished here, and again I enter adulthood, I am on (it) (i.e., continuing) now.

Kuma goet'ong noe / tun goeyool noe / goeyool la noe / b'ak goeyong goe yil Moek'wo / hen shin makaranta noe b'ak / hen doe gama b'ak / hen b'ep ru / mmuk moenan / hen d'e k'a nd'asoenoe.

I have never heard about things of this (that) are (there) (that) I (would) not know the name (of).

Hen boetab'a k'oeleng / k'a bi / goennoe nd'e / hen man s'em muk ba.

And about the things of this (that) are (there), so that I happen (that) I don't know (them).

Kuma k'a bi goennoe nd'e / hen paru yi / hen man ba.

I refuse (i.e., don't) to know the thing, indeed, (I) call (i.e., ask) my neighbour, (he) tells me here about the thing that is inside another one, about the thing that I don't know, behold, (here it) is.

Hen nyang goe man bi =hok dai / yong goenye noe / doe t'em / poe hen / k'a bi goed'e nd'ûûn nde / k'a bi goepe / de hen man ba / na nd'e.

And also the thing (that) I refuse (i.e., don't) know, when I know, when (he) calls me (and he) asks me, this existing one is what?

Bi zak hen nyang goe man / hen la man / la yong hen / tal nd'ûe noe / goend'ennoe a mmoe?

I hear some such-and-such (thing), so I tell that the name of the thing, (here it) is such-and-such.

Hen k'oeleng wani kaza nnoe / hen t'em yi shewa goepe / s'em bi =hok na nd'e kaza.

(I say) "yes, (it is) like this."

Mh / a poenoe.

When I refuse to (i.e., can't) talk, (I say) "(it is), (it is) not like this."

Hen la nyang goe kut nkut / a / a poenoe ba.

The name of the thing, (here it) is such-and-such, in the Goemai language.

S'em bi =hok na nd'e kaza / nd'ûe Goemai.

The Goemai language is not difficult.

D'ûe Goemai ba goe wuya ba.

And the Goemai language is not (just) anything.

Kuma d'ûe Goemai a ndoe bi ba.

(It) is not difficult, (it) is not difficult.

Shind'eet ba / shind'eet ba.

If you lay your head--.

La goe b'ûet k'a goe--.

If, if you lay your head into the Goemai language, (it) is done (i.e., now you can do it).

La / la goe b'ûet k'a goe nd'ûe Goemai / lat toe.

The Goemai language (just) flows.

D'ûe Goemai mûaan toe.

Like when she came, she, K'wozem, when (she) is here, (she) wasn't back (even) a month (yet), (but) she understood the language of the Goemai settlements.

Goebi goewul muk / ni K'wozem / goed'e b'ak / wa ru t'aar goeme ba / ni k'oeleng d'ûe lu Goemai.

Okay, if someone (in) his own way rises from over there, (but he) doesn't lay his head (into the Goemai language), is (he) understanding (it)?

To / la a ndoe gurum bi muk yool daga pûanang / doe b'ûet k'a muk ba / d'e nk'oeleng a?

(****) she put her head (into the Goemai language), (she) put here her head into the Goemai language, until (she) tried hard and understood the Goemai language.

(???) ni loe k'a muk / doe loe a k'a muk nd'ûe Goemai / har goe-goe k'oeleng d'ûe Goemai.

Here we sit, together with her, on this day of today, so that we do this thing.

Moe nt'wot d'i b'ak / shak ndoe ni / mb'it goe shini nnoehoe / de moe shin bi nnoe yi.

And God may make us (that) we rise (and) finish it well.

Kuma Naan goe sa men moe yûûl moe gama ni nkyat.

We do it in peace, we rise, so that everybody should know, how (it) would return back well.

Moe shin ni goe zoom / moe yûûl / de ko=wuroe goe man / boet'ong wa nkyat yi.

(This is) the end of my side of the story, okay, tell me, so that you tell me (****).

A boelat yit kut mmaan / to / t'em goe poe hen / de goe poe hen yi (???).
