“Jeje ko otemjej em̧ōj letok kōn kakōrm̧ool an Anij, ej barāinwōt wor tokjāer kōn katakin, n̄an kauwe, im kajim̧we, im katakin ilo kwōjarjar:

V. Kije an M̧wil ko

Laajrak in tōmak jon̄ouljilu ej letok meļeļe kōn wāween ad aikuj tōl mour ko ad im iiaio ippān ro jet. Ej riit: “Kōm̧ij tōmak ilo jejjet, m̧ool, jouj, aenōm̧m̧an, meanwōr, ettā bōro, im kōm̧m̧an em̧m̧an n̄an aolep armej, ilo m̧ool, kōm̧ maron̄ ba bwe kōm̧ij anek wōt katak ko an Paul―Kōm̧ij tōmak ilo aolep men, kōm̧ij kōjatdikdik ilo aolep men, kōm̧ ar dipelo̧ki elōn̄ men ko, im kōm̧ij kōjatdikdik bwe kōm̧ naaj maron̄ depļo̧ki aolep men. Eļan̄n̄e rekam̧ōņōņō, rem̧m̧an ilo ba kaki, ak men ko rem̧m̧an, men kein kōm̧ij pukoti.”
