this place is ymän zfth

kar yəf zəf rä yə.män zə.fəth

long time, they avoided this place

za.fö.wä za.ne zwa.rir.kwə.rə.məth

this was a story place

menz kar zəf.rä.rəm

long time ago, before

za.fö.wä zöb.thə

we were not born then

ni ma.tak fə.thə nzəf.rä.rəm

when the fathers were little children

ʔa.fay.ʔə fə.thə na.gay.ʔə fäth thəf.rä.rəm ka.ta.ka.tan

long time ago, they avoided this place. it was a story man place.

za.fe zə zwa.rir.kwə.rə.məth menz kar zəf.rä.rəm za.ne

when they paddled with the canoe, they only went on the other side

gar.da.me fə.thə kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth bo.ba wazinzo thə.fi.ya.kəm be.rä

not here

zä ke.ke

they didn't paddle in the afternoon

zi.zi ke.ke kwan.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth

really in the evening, when the sun is there

zi.zi fe.fe fə.thə ʔe.foth bä fə.thə yə

and early in the morning

ʔa ʔe.zi.ʔe.zi

they waited when the sun was high and then they paddled here

kwa kwa.mo.ne.gwə.rə.məth ʔe ʔe.foth fə.thə zə.bo war.fo kwän.ko.rəm fə.thə kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth zä ze.rä

in the afternoon, they paddled here without (making) noise

zi.zi zä ke.ke kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth ŋo.ŋo.yam.ka.rä

because if they had paddled while making noise, the story man would shoot at them

bä.ne.ma fə.thə ŋo.ŋo.yam.ka.rä kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth me.nzəf thə.fru.thə.rəm

with his magic.

bə.than.me

with develish ... with his power, he would shoot at them

na.fa.ne sa.tan na.fa.ne po.wer.me thə.fru.thə.rəm

with his magic

na.fa.ne bə.than.me

then the boychild would always become sick

wa.ti nə.ge ʔa.ne kwik kwa sə.fä.rə.mo ʔa.ne

okay

wa.ti

that was why they waited for the sun

fə.thə thəf.rä.rəm ʔa.ne ʔe.foth ʔe.foth swa.mo.ne.gwə.rə.məth

until the sun was up high, that is when they paddled and went across silently

kwot ʔe ʔe.foth war.fo kwän.kor fə.thə fof kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth kwa.ri.ta.kwə.rə.məth dəm.nzü

no noise

ŋo.ŋo.yam ke.ke

only on the other side not on this side

bo.ba wo.zi.nzo zə.ba wo.zi ke.ke

the same in the evening

ni.mä.wä zi.zi

late afternon they did not paddle

zi.zi fe.fe ke.ke kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth

when the sun was up, they paddled quickly. they also went across quickly

ʔe.foth war.fo zə.bo fə.thə səf.rä.rəm yak.me kwa.ra.fi.nzə.rə.məth be.rä.ro we kwa.ri.ta.kwə.rə.məth

in the late afternoon, not with noise

zi.zi fe.fe ke.ke ŋo.ŋo.ya.mä ke.ke

he shot them with his magic

na.fa.ne bə.than.me thə.fru.thə.rəm

and they became sick

kwik thəf.rä.rəm

not today

ze.na ke.ke

he already went away from here

zə za.ma.tha zə.ba

he shifted to another place

nä faf zən.fo zə ŋa.fä.ni.za

because lots of children and noise

bä.ne.ma na.gay.ʔə tü.fər ŋo.ŋo.yam

therefore, he shifted

wa.ti ʔa.ne.ma ŋa.fä.ni.za

chopping the trees

wäm.ne far.si

he heard this felling noise. then he shifted

ʔa.ne tä kwan kwa.ri.zə.rəm wa.ti ŋa.fä.ni.za

we don't know where he lives today

ni mi.ya.mər mä ze.na yam.nzər

before, it was not like this

zöb.thə za.ne ma.ne zəf.rä.rəm ke.ke

they didn't come right here on the high ground. they walked a bit further ... over there ... the people

zä ke.ke tö.nan thwa.ni.ya.kəm bä ʔa.ne we za.gər thəf.wi.ya.kəm be.rä ka.be

okay, in ymän zfth ...

?o.kay yə.män zə.fəth

this is here. its story is like this. before it was ...

zəf rä na.fa.ne tri.ka.si ni.ma bə.rä zöb.thə bä.ne re.ra

a story place. not today. its strength has already finished,

menz kar ze.na ke.ke na.fa.ne tə.mä zə zä.bəth

because the storyman has already shifted to another place

bä.ne.ma menz zə ŋa.fä.ni.za nä kar.fo

okay, ymän zfth's story is like this.

ni.ma fof yə.män zəf.tha.ne tri.ka.si ni.ma.me zəf.rä bə.rä
