The story of the flying fox, I will tell about the flying fox that is there.

048-001 Natrauswen ni mantu , kafo traus mantu nen kin ito .

Yes the flying fox that was at Rentapau long ago, it went to Erromango.

§ 048-002 Ore mantu nen ito Erontp̃au teetwei ga ito pan , ito pak Ermag .

It was there until it wanted to go to Erromango, to go back to Erromango, and one day it went.

§ 048-003 Ito esan to , pan pan imuur kefak Ermag , kemer pak Ermag pa , go naliati iskei ipan .

And it had this egg, but

§ 048-004 Go kipiatlak na , atol , ipiatlak atol me , §

that flying fox, it came, it layed an egg,

048-005 ga , mantu nen , imai , ipsolki atol , § 048-006 atol inru ipsolki atol inru .

And those two eggs stayed at Erromango.

§ 048-007 Go gar atol nra nen rapato Ermag .

‎‎And people from Erromango wanted to hit him.

§ 048-008 Go nam̃er ni Ermag runa rukwatgi . Runa rukwatgi .

And he said, "I will leave you the eggs. You will look after them and I will return to Efate."

§ 048-009 Go kitli na , " Kafo gamus tao atol keto rakto san tok . Akam kofo teelekor atol , me kineu kafo mer ler pak naur ni Efat ."

And today he came to Efate.

§ 048-010 Go mees imai to Efat .

And that flying fox is still at the place they call Ewor today.

§ 048-011 Go mantu nen ito esan rusoso ki Ewor , ito mees ne .
