Ebẹlu abụru onye akpa elu; Kenu abụru onye akọ okfu. Yo be ujiku lanụ; Kenu ahata iphe, ọ kọtaru l'alị tẹ ya je anụ Ojejoje. Ébẹlu akpụta nwa ọdungu l'atụru iya gbua; bushia ya anụ iya l'ẹke, ọ katsụa ọgba ẹ̀bà bya anụ Ojejoje. Ébẹlu; mẹ iphe, ono ọ nụru ono adụ Ojejoje mma. Obenu lẹ Kenu; mẹ iphe ọphu ọ nụru b'ọ jịkaru. Ya ndono; ẹhu eghulahaa Kenu eghughu; yọ swịkobe.

Tọ dụ iya bụ; Kenu asụ nwunne iya; mbụ Ébẹlu t'ẹphe je l'ẹgu. Ephe atụgbua; shi rua; Kenu egude nwunne iya ono gbua.

Tọ dụ iya bụ; Kenu eshi l'ẹke, Ojejoje nọ gbeshi; je eburu lẹ Nọdu l'ụzo ẹnyanwu-ahata Ídẹnu.

Kenu yẹle nyee ya abya azẹe. Yọ tsụta ime; mụa Ínọku. Kenu bẹ nweru mkpụkpu, ọokpu teke ono. Yo woru mkpụkpu ono gụa nwatibe iya; mbụ Ínọku. Ínọku abya amụta Iradu; Iradu abya amụta Mehujayẹlu; Mehujayẹlu abya amụta Metushẹlu; Metushẹlu abya amụta Lamẹku.

Ẹpha nwunne Tubalu-Kenu kẹ nwanyi bụ Naama.
Ya ndono; Lamẹku asụ unyomu iya ono:

Tọ dụ iya bụ; Ádamu yẹle nyee ya abya azẹe ọdo. Yọ bya atsụta ime mụa nwata nwoke; gụa ya Sẹtu; sụ: “Lẹ Nchileke nụwaru iya nwata nwoke ọdo, a-nọdu ọzori Ébẹlu ono, Kenu gburu ono.” Sẹtu abya amụta nwata nwoke; gụa ya Ẹ́noshi. Madzụ eshiwaphu teke ono wata ọkpo-ku ẹpha Ojejoje.
