Ádamu yẹle nyee ya Iifu bya azẹe, ọ tsụta ime, nwụa Kenu. Iifu sụ: “Onye-Nwe-Ọha bẹ yewaru mu ẹka, mu nwụa nwa nwoke.” E megee, ọ bya anwụtafua Ébelu, ọ bụru nwune Kenu nke nwoke.
Ébelu bụru onye l'akpa igwe atụru, Kenu bụru onye l'akọ okfu. O be nteke ọbu; Kenu shi l'iwhe ọ kọtaru l'alị hata gbaarụ Onye-Nwe-Ọha ẹja.

Ọ jịka ọwhube Kenu mẹe ẹja, ọ gbarụ. Ọo ya bụ, Kenu vọru ọku ghụa ẹhu dzụkfube.
Onye-Nwe-Ọha sụ Kenu: “?Ọo gụnu meru iwhe ị vọru ọku ghụa ẹhu. ?Ọo gụnu meru ị dzụkfube nno? Ọ -bụ l'i meru ree; ?ọo gụnu bụ lẹ mu tege emedu t'ị nwụa ọnochi?

Tọ dụ iya bụ, Kenu sụ nwune iya Ébelu tẹ whẹ je l'ẹgu; whẹ jeshia. Whẹ nọdu l'ẹgu l'ẹka ono, Kenu ghakọbe zụ-gude nwune iya ono gbua.
O noo ya, Onye-Nwe-Ọha bya ajịa Kenu sụ iya: “?Ndẹhunu nwune ghu Ébelu?”
Kenu sụ iya: “Mu ta amakwa. ?Mu l'eche nwune mu eche?”
Onye-Nwe-Ọha sụ iya: “?Ọo ẹgube iwhe gụnu b'i meru nno? Gebekwa! Nwune ghu ono, i gburu bẹ mmee ya shikwa l'alị echiku mu lẹ mkpu. Ntaa b'ị bụakwa onye a tụru ọnu.

Onye-Nwe-Ọha sụ iya: “Ọ tọ dụdu nno. O -nwezhiwaru onye gburu gụbe Kenu, a gwata onye ọbu ụgwo iya ugbo ẹsaa.” Onye-Nwe-Ọha bya emee Kenu iwhe-ọhubama, t'ọ bọ dụ onye whụru iya nụ l'e-je iya egbugbu. Ọo ya bụ, Kenu lụfu l'iwhu Onye-Nwe-Ọha, je eburu l'alị Nọdu, dụ l'ụzo ẹnyanwu-awata Idẹnu.

Kenu yẹle nyee ya bya azẹe, ọ tsụta ime nwụa Ínọku. O nweru mkpụkpu, Kenu l'emeta nteke ono, ọ gụa mkpụkpu ono Ínọku, bụ ẹwha nwa iya ono. Ínọku nwụta Iradu. Iradu bụru nna Mehujẹlu. Mehujẹlu bụru nna Metushẹlu. Metushẹlu bụru nna Lamẹku.
Lamẹku lụa ụnwanyi labọ. Onye lanụ l'aza Ada, onye ọwhu l'aza Zila. Ada bya anwụta Jabalu. Jabalu bụru iya bụ nna ndu l'akpọbeje ụlo-ẹkwa buru, bụ iya bụ ndu l'akpa élwù. Ẹwha nwune iya bụ Jubalu.

Nwune Tubalu-kenu ono nke nwanyị bụ Naama.
O noo ya, Lamẹku sụ unyomu iya:
“Ada gụ lẹ Zila, unu gebe nchị!
Unubẹ unyomu Lamẹku,
unu ngabẹ nchị l'iwhe mu l'ekfu!

O noo ya, Ádamu yẹle nyee ya bya azẹkwawho ọdo, ọ nwụta nwa nwoke, gụa ya Seti sụ: “Chileke nụwaru mu nwa nwoke ọdo, l'a-nọ-chi ẹnya Ébelu, eshi-ọwhu Kenu gburu yẹbedua.” Seti nwụtakwawho nwa nwoke, gụa ya Ẹ́noshi. Eshi nteke ono ndiwhe wata oku ẹwha Onye-Nwe-Ọha.
