one tradition we made this morning

ruen hol ram yene bilifalen gole rō

you talk about

egob selsela go

before

marin

you look how we did it this morning

gom se mwiir be go nge ram yene bilifalen gole

and before how were they doing it?

o marin o tu lar yinyene tiir be ?

it came and reaches now where we made one again this morning and you try and tell

meme nge meme rekale gole go nge rim yene hol nga mōn nga bilifalen gole rō gosa war se go

it has changed a lot or

mwe saalgelgel tobo o

it is like what?

mwiir ru rbe ?

how? you tell so we know how they were doing this before

gob selsela me rō rab kilbwele go marin tu lar yinyene tiir be ?

before they were doing it like this, when, they made just one food pile

marin o tu lar yene sir nga rle , bone go ngenge , lar yene selar tee hol nga

just one side does it (the boy's family)

taōr nga tu tiyene

and when it is time to make the 'small back of the pig', they would just remove it then

rō bone go ngenge lar bwiri yene murumrugere nga lar felkuu nga la

and the food for it too, they would remove it

rō melee en mōn lar felkuu nga

then there was just one food pile, the other side (side of the uncle) did not make a food pile

nga la selar tee hol nga, taōr tofon yene selar rō hol

they didn't kill a sow

tofon sie fwerfaar rō hol

the small back of the pig, it just went with the food

murumrugere nga tibwiri an mane melee go

then (the uncles) they take and divide it

gola lar bwiri fel fai nga

they just did the small back of the pig with food

lir bwiri yene murumrugere ne melee nga rō

it was just with that food?

tutu nga lon melee gola ?

it was just with that food

tutu nga lon melee gola

and it shows that the thing we are just doing now is really too much

rō mwi bisene ru go nge tiri go ram bwiri ru ram yene lonla gole mean e tir bonok ten bur

that goes different to what was first

gola mean minminee ru lan go tee mō

you think that like this is good, that we do it well or we should return to what was before?

gom rame gile go mwiir le nge mue o ram yene mwiir le nge mue o rab kolili van lan go te marin go tee mō ?

I see that it is not straight according to our tradition that came first

nam se go mwiir le o tolo myōrmyōrne saar ruen butu go tōmō

following our custom from before, it was not like this

o tu usili saar ruen tutu o tolo ir le

it shows that

bibisene go

when we do this thing, one side loses and the other side loses, but we are just doing it anyway

bone go ram yene tiri taōr ru mu lus taōr ru mu lus , a go nga ngenge ru rim yene tiri nga o nge

one side just divides the food from here

taōr mwibwiri fel fai melee go nga la

the meat there, is put for the other side (of the family)

o mubo nga la o lingi mwee go san taōr

in your opinion, you think that if we do it now, if

lon sam nōrnōren gom rame gile go erab , erab yene me lon taem gole o gile go

we come into the original traditon, what do you think it will be like?

erab me so lan ruen go tōmō la o gom rame mwi ru rbe ?

as people are justmaking up things which have become big like this

ben go enten yel lam bwiri ru lam tutuōne tiri nga nge mwee tir bobo so mwiir le

in your opinion

lon sam nōrnōren

you think that it is better to return to what was before

gom rame gile go e mue ten go erab kolili vane go ngenge te marin

or we should stay behind that which is making us lose a lot like this

o erab so rōn go ngenge ru ram lus tobo lon go mwiir le

I think that we should go bact to that from before, it will be good as it is too much now

nam rame go rab kolili van lon go te marin o babue ne go tiri mwee lon mele ru ngele

what we are doing now, we should return to that from before and things will be easier for us

nge ru ram yene lonla gole erab kolili van lon go te marin o tiri abo myōrmyōro me lan her

many thanks, I think it is straight for us and if one tries to make it like before, we will make it easy for

siba go tobo nam rame mōmyōrmyōr mene gemem rō lonla gole hol mōn tibwiri tu tiyene , rō abu biakse go abwiri yene gonmane go nga marin rab yene abumulmulum vane nge

his family and the family of the other side
