Naomi ngi yemɔi ndeilɔ ngi ma, yɛ, “Nya nyahaloi, ngi hindo gɔkɔli ma bi va, kɔ i wie a kpekpeya bi gama. Kiahuna naa mu ndewei Boasi gbe, na wua ngi voninge nyahangeisia wu yɛ a yenge. Kpe lɛ, i baali bei yafɛma a kpindii ji mbayangamɛi. Fale naa mua tawao bi ngulɔ gunɛnɛ jia, tawao bi bi lima guleisia yili, tawao bi yei bayangamɛi; kɛɛ baa pie ye kenɛi na i bi ngɔ haaŋ i kpɔyɔ a mɛhɛɛ mɛ la kɛ kpole wie la.

Fale i yeilɔ bayangamɛi kɛ i pienga kia ngi yemɔi i ndeni la ngi ma. Ji Boasi mɛhɛɛ mɛni kɛ i kpɔle wienga, tawao i yɛ kohunɛɛ waa hu, i lilɔ laa va mba yandɔngɔi gɛlɛmei. Na wooma Luuti wailɔ yɛlɛŋ, kɛ i kulei gbua Boasi gɔweisia ma kɛ i langa. A kpindii liei, Boasi gbɛlilɔ jii hu kɛ i wotenga, kɛ nyaha yɛ laani ngi gɔwɔ bu. Boasi ndeilɔ yɛ, “Ye lɔ a bie?” I kpɛmboilɔ, yɛ, “Luuti mia a nge, bi bɔilopoi. Bi wɛlɛgulɛi wɛlɛ bi bɔilopoi mahu, gbamaile bi yɛni a ndehumɔ lɔ.” Boasi ndeilɔ, yɛ, “Ndemɔi i bi Luba nya nyahaloi; kɛlɛma goloyɛi ji bi pienga i leweni yee halayɛi ma; bi toni foningeisia wooma, ti nyanii ɔɔ ti gbatɛi.

I wailɔ ngi yemɔi gama, na i ndeni yɛ, “I ye yɛ na bi gama nya nyahaloi?” Na wooma, i na gbi hugɛlɔ a ngie kenɛi i yɛ pieni ngi va, yɛ, “Ta mia baali ba kasiipani yilɛi ji venga nya wɛ, gbamaile i ndeilɔ yɛ, ‘Baa yama bi yemɔi gama bi yeya wopongɔ.’ ” Naomi ndeilɔ yɛ, “Mawulo nya nyahaloi, haaŋ bi kɔɔ kia hindei ji ye gɛlɛma, ajifa kenɛi na ɛɛ lɛvu, kɛɛ a ye hindei ji laa lokoma a foloi ji.”
