Madu ahu we mara aru Iv, bú nwunye-ya; o we turu ime, mua Ken, si, Enwetawom nwoke site n'iye-aka Jehova. Ọzọ kwa, ọ mua nwa-nṅe-ya nwoke, bú Ebel. Ebel we buru onye nāzù ìgwè ewu na aturu, ma Ken bu onye nālu ọlu ubi. O rue, n'ọgwugwu ubọchi ufọdu, na Ken wetara ufọdu nime nkpuru ala ibu onyinye-inata-iru-ọma enyere Jehova. Ebel kwa, ya onwe-ya wetakwara ufọdu nime umu eburu uzọ mu nke ìgwè ewu na aturu ya, na ufọdu nime iberibe-ha mara abuba. Jehova we le Ebel, le kwa onyinye-inata-iru-ọma-ya, anya ọma: ma Ken na onyinye-inata-iru-ọma-ya, O leghi ha anya ọma. Ken we we iwe di ọku nke-uku, iru-ya we b͕arua. Jehova we si Ken, N'ìhi gini ka i nēwe iwe di ọku? ọ̀ bu kwa n'ihi gini ka iru-gi b͕aruru? Ọ buru na i nēme nke-ọma, ọ̀ bughi nb͕asa-iru ka i gēnwe? ọ buru kwa na i meghi nke-ọma, n'ọnu-uzọ ka nmehie nāma-kpu dika anu-ọhia: ọ bu kwa n'ebe i nọ ka ọchichọ-ya di, ma ọ kwesiri ka gi onwe-gi chia ya.

Ken we si n'iru Jehova pua, biri n'ala Nod, n'Iru-anyanwu Iden. Ken we mara aru nwunye-ya; ọ we turu ime, mua Inok: ma Ken nọ nēwu obodo, o we kpọ aha obodo ahu, dika aha nwa-ya nwoke si di, Inok. Ewe mua Irad nye Inok: Irad we mua Mehujael: Mehujael we mua Metushael: Metushael we mua Lemek. Lemek we lutara onwe-ya ndinyom abua: aha otù onye nime ha bu Eda, aha nwayi ibe-ya bu Zila. Eda we mua Jebel: onye ahu bu nna ndi bi n'ulo-ikwū, ndi nwe-kwa-ra anu-ulo. Aha nwa-nne-ya nwoke bu Jubal: onye ahu bu nna ndi nile nākpọ ubọ-akwara, nēb͕u kwa ọ̀jà.

Ọ bu kwa nwata-nwoke ka m'b͕uworo n'ihi ubiri-utarim:
