En̄in ekar iien eo tōmak eo ekar bar ro̧o̧ltok n̄an būruwō.”
Eļtōr Jeffrey R. Holland ekar ba, “Ettā bōro, tōmak, im kareel eo an Jetōb Kwojarjar [renaaj] aolep iien erom m̧ōttan ko an aolep kajjitōk kōn m̧ool eo.”6

Ekar kōmeļeļeik, “Ikar riit ilo Mosaia im kar lukkuun en̄jake: ; ‘Tōmak Anij, tōmak bwe E emour, im bwe Eaar kōm̧anm̧an men otemjej … ; kom̧in leke bwe Ippān epād jeļā otemjelo̧k, im kajoor otemjelo̧k, jim̧or ilo lan̄ im ilo laļ; kom̧win leke bwe armej ej jab jeļā aolep men ko Irooj E jeļā.’7”
Ilo iien in juon kūr ekar itok n̄an jerbal āinwōt juon riokwōn an Būraimere. “Ekar koņ,” ekar ba. “Ikar kōņaan bwe ajri ro nejū ren pād ilo Būraimere, im kiiō imaron̄ pād ippāer. Im ikar jab pojak n̄an katakin.” Ke ekar jerbal, ekar wōnm̧aanļo̧k wōt im en̄jake jān ro ipeļaakin: “Itok, kōm̧ naaj bōk eok jekdo̧o̧n kajoor in jetōb eo ippam̧, im kōm̧ naaj jerbal ippam̧. Letok jabdewōt men komaron̄ in letok.”
