Okay, I hear, indeed, the thing that you talk.

To / hen k'oeleng dai / bi goepe goe k'wal.

You-- are with, or maybe, since you rose (as) a young man, or maybe when you rose in young childhood, have you ever heard (that) they sat you down (and) they were teaching you the Goemai language?

Goe-- / d'e goe / ko kuma / tun goeyool la swaal goe / ko goeyool goe nla nk'ong / goe / tab'a / goe k'oeleng / mûep d'u goe / mûep d'e nshe goe yi / goe d'ûe Goemai a?

Or maybe, when (you) grew up like you, you should listen, (so that) you shouldn't yet speak.

Ko kuma / goeyool goebi goe / goe nk'oeleng / a t'ekgoed'i goe kut yi.

The speech, in the speech that you have just spoken, hey, (it is) necessary (that) maybe if those (with whom) I should rise (and) do it on this earth of God, then when you are learning--, then when they are teaching you with it, so that you (should) be able (to do it).

Kut / nd'ûûn kut goed'in kut goe nnoe / ai / dole ko la moegoepe hen goe yo goe shin ni goe yil Naan nnoehoe / sai la goe nshe-- / sai mûep la nshe goe nni / de goe b'oot yi.

And everyone that when they do (it) on this earth, then when you put (your) ear (into it), so that you (should) be able (to do) it.

Kuma ko=gurum goepe mûep la shin goe yil nnoe / sai la goe loe a k'wam / de goe b'oot ni yi.

And maybe when those who do (it) on this earth, then when you sit well, so that you are able (to do) it.

Kuma ko la moegoepe mûep shin goe yil nnoehoe / sai la goe t'ong nt'it / de goe b'oot ni yi.

(Ever) since I rose (as) a child, (there was) someone who spoke to me, someone who told be, behold, the thing is such and such.

Tun goeyool la noe / ndoe gurum goekut poe hen / ndoe gurum goet'em poe hen / goepe / bi nd'e kaza.

Behold, the thing is such and such, so (if) I didn't know.

Bi nd'e kaza / hen man yi ba.

I (am) a Goemai child, I originated in Kwande.

Hen la Goemai / hen yo Moek'wo.

I grew up in Kwande.

Hen f'yer Moek'wo.

I went into school here in Kwande.

Hen doe ru mmakaranta Moek'wo.

Okay, at the day of today, we sat here in this place earlier today, so we spoke in the name of our fathers.

To / goe mb'it goe shini / d'in moe t'wot b'ak mpe nnoehoe / moe kut kut yi / goe s'em nda men.

Since I rose (as) a child, I found here such and such people.

Tun goeyool la noe / hen doe kat ndoe gurum kaza.

You tell, you tell, (you) speak their speech, you return home with the Goemai language, when I come, when I listen, I know this thing.

Goe t'em / goe t'em kut kut mûep / goe wa goe d'ûe Goemai / hen la doe / hen la k'oeleng / hen man bi goesek hok.

When tomorrow daws, the little speech of this side (i.e., of today), I (will) know this one.

B'it la d'a lin / la kut goe yit goennoe / hen man goesek hok.

It moves (and) increases, until when (I) rise this time now, I am able (to speak) Goemai here.

Ni lang k'aru toe / har goeyool d'em nd'asoenoe / hen doe b'oot Goemai.

Someone would arrive (and would) insult me here from some place in the Goemai (language), I refuse to listen.

Ndoe gurum t'ong wul / doe vûang hen daga ndoe pe goe Goemai / hen nyang a goe k'oeleng ba.

(It is) my own side (of the story).

A yit mmaan.

Okay, this one would return back this time (with) an answer from you.

To / goennoe t'ong wa d'em a / nyetal / sek pûe goe.

When I speak a thing, you answer nicely to me.

Hen la kut bi / goe lap / goed'ong goe poe hen.

I know, amongst us all here, we know the use of (many) little things here in this place.

Hen man / nk'wak men b'ak / moe man / amfani jap bi / b'ak mpe nnoe.

I like so that I ask you.

Hen zem / de hen tal yi sek pûe goe.

When I talk (and) say, the use of this one is what?

Ko kuma / a mûep d'e nshin yi goe bi nnoe a?

So that you tell the thing that they are doing with the thing.

De goe t'em / bi yi / goepe mûep d'e nshin yi goe bi hok.

Now I would ask you.

Nyap boet'ong goe / goe k'oeleng / k'wal noe.

Seats, what are they doing with seats?

Toom / mûep d'e nshin a mmoe goe toom?

This speech, the speech comes back well.

Since I rose (as) a child, they sat me down (and they) told me the things to do with a chair, and they sat me down on a chair.

Nakû men la yûûl goe rwo ns'et / mûen goe tang sh'ep buk doe ham / ndoe toom goe t'wot k'ek.
