Ewe Samon Jises Kraist A pwisin apasa, “Ngang ewe chon mmasen siip mi murino, … iwe ngang mi tongeni mano fan iter.”⁷

“O uweiano non imwan. Iwe, epwe kokkori chienan me monunun ukun kewe o epwe apasa ngenir, ‘Ua fokkun pwapwa pun ua fen kuna nei we siip mi monucheno.”¹⁵

Ika sia ekieki usun unusen wewen ei poraus, sia kuna ei auchean auraur.

Ese tufich ne sinei tufichin emon me emon Noun kewe me non An ekiek. A tongeok ren eunapen tong sise tongeni weweiti. Usun ewe konakensiip mi tipepos, ewe Samon epwe nom won chuk ne tumunu en non eweasepwan, pung ran me snow me met chok.
