Today they don't have respect, and they don't understand.

Because today, young people do wrong and they say it is good.

§ 085-004 Nlaken mees kin to , tefsofus rupreg tenen isa , me runa iwi .

And what they hear, and the biggest of these, I'll say it like this, they copy too much.

§ 085-005 Go naftekin runrogo , go tep̃ur knen , kafo tli tefla , gar ruleperkat top .

What they see with their eyes. They say it's bad, but they do it, and they say it's good, but it is bad.

§ 085-006 Nafte kin ruleka ki namter . Me runa isa , me rupregi , me runa iwi , me tene isa .

And the biggest of them is in the home, the mother and father teach their children what is good and what is bad.

§ 085-007 Go tep̃ur knen ito naal nasum̃ , iwel tem me rait , rutafnau teesa gar ki nafte kin iwi go nafte kin isa .

Children go outside and will know what is good and what is bad.

§ 085-008 Teesa rupak ektem rufo tae nafte kin iwi ga naftekin isa .

Because today, in this village, you could say it has fallen down in a big way.

§ 085-009 Nlaken mees kin to , natkon ne , p̃afo tili na itarup̃ naor p̃ur .

It's the truth, they spoil it and they say "Oh that is bad."

They spoil it, but they are unable to build anything themselves.

§ 085-011 Rukraksoki me reki kin nen gar rukmer tfagi mer tfagi gar rukfo kano .

As I said, that's because they copy too much. And what they see, they see that they do bad. But they say it is good.

§ 085-012 Gawanki kaipe tli , ruto leperkat top . Go naftekin ruleka na , ruleka na isa rupregi . Me runa iwi .

And I'll add, when I look at those who are our elders, their time was good.

§ 085-013 Go kamer paaskari tefla , taosi kin apo mer leka pak nafet tenen rumer nrus , motu ki komam , mal gar iwi .

They know about respect. Their time, even if they were the leaders of the village. And they know about understanding,

Go gar rutae kin naftekin nanrogwen § 085-015 rutae kin naftekin nfaketanwen . Mal gar mal gar even kin if wel kin telekor ni natkon .

They would say to everyone that they are doing this, work for the village. You look, they come together at one place. They do it once and it is finished.

§ 085-016 Rufla nrikir ki na rupreg tenen , nawesien ni natkon . Kuleka rumai pakruk naor iskei . Rupregi nrak iskei inom .

And if it is not finished today, if it is not all done, tomorrow they'll come to their work.

§ 085-017 Ko rufla , rufla , mees ifla ta nom , ifla ta nom mau , matool rumai , [ pkaskei pa pnut ] nawesien gar .

Today, young people today, if the leaders of the village come, if they call for some work,

§ 085-018 Mees kin to , tefsofus ni mees , okay if wel kin , telekor ni natkon , rukmai , rufla sos nsaisei nawesien .

They come out today,

§ 085-019 mees , rufla mai paakor p̃ulp̃og , rufla wes pan nawesien Ale pan ipi rupa kotfak , aliat paakor .

They would go to eat, they finish eating, they come. Or they finish eating and they come back.

§ 085-020 Rufla pan fam , rufam su rumai . Ko rufla pan fam su rumer mai .

But the young people, they go, they finish eating, the work is half done, they leave then they're gone.

There's lots of their half work around, all the old people join their work to finish it.
