Nrenya bie anwo dole ye wɔ Bɛtani. Bɛfɛlɛ ye Lazalɛse. Mɛle nee ɔ diema raalɛ Maata bɛ sua zo a le Bɛtani. (Mɛle ɛhye a wolale nwole evuanlɛ ne guale Awulae agyakɛ anwo na ɔvale ɔ ti enrinli ɔkyikyile la, yɛɛ ɔ diema nrenya a le Lazalɛse ɛhye mɔɔ ɛnde kpɔkɛ la.) Mediema mraalɛ ne mɔ zoanle manle bɛhɔzele Gyisɛse kɛ, “Awulae, ɛ gɔnwo kpalɛ ne ɛnde kpɔkɛ.”
Mɔɔ Gyisɛse asa hanle nrɛlaleɛ ne la ɔhanle kɛ, “Anwondolɛ ɛhye ɛnrɛmaa Lazalɛse ɛnrɛwu. Nyamenle anyunlunyia ti yɛɛ ɛhye ɛzi a, na ɔbayɛ debie mɔɔ ɔlua zolɛ Nyamenle Ara ne ɔdaye ɔbanyia anyunlunyia a.”
Gyisɛse kulo Maata nee ɔ diema Mɛle nee Lazalɛse edwɛkɛ kpole. Noko mɔɔ ɔdele Lazalɛse anwondolɛ nrɛlaleɛ ne la, ɔzile aze kenle nwiɔ wɔ ɛleka mɔɔ ɔwɔ la. Na akee ɔhanle ɔhilele ye ɛdoavolɛma ne kɛ, “Bɛmaa yɛzia yɛ nzi yɛhɔ Dwudiya.”
Ɛdoavolɛma ne zele ye kɛ, “Kilehilevolɛ, ɔtɛkyɛle biala yɛɛ Dwuuma ne yɛle kɛ bɛsi wɔ awolɛ a; na eza wɔyɛ wɔ adwenle kɛ ɛkɔ lɔ bieko ɔ?”
Gyisɛse buale bɛ kɛ, “Dɔnehwele bulu nee nwiɔ a wɔ alehyenlɛ ko anu a. Yemɔti saa sonla tudu agyakɛ wɔ alehyenlɛ nu a ɔmkpula, ɔboalekɛ maanle nu le wienyi. Na saa ɔtudu agyakɛ wɔ aledwolɛ nu a ɔkpulokpula, ɔboalekɛ awozinli ne ɛmmaa ɔnnwu aze.” Gyisɛse hanle ɛhye na ɔvale ɔzɔle zolɛ kɛ, “Yɛ gɔnwo Lazalɛse ɛlafe, na mekɔ meahɔdunwue ye.”
Ɛdoavolɛma ne buale kɛ, “Awulae, saa yelafe a, ɛnee ɔbadunwue!”
Gyisɛse ɛnee kpondɛ aze kɛ Lazalɛse ɛwu, na bɛmɛ bɛdwenlenle nafelɛ kpalɛ nwo. Yemɔti Gyisɛse hanle ye wienyi hilele bɛ kɛ, “Lazalɛse ɛwu, na bɛmɛ ti, ɔyɛ me fɛ kɛ menle lɔ a, amaa bɛalie bɛali. Bɛmaa yɛhɔ ɛleka mɔɔ ɔwɔ la.”
Tɔmase (mɔɔ eza bɛfɛlɛ ye Nda la) zele ɔ gɔnwo mɔ ɛdoavolɛma ne mɔ kɛ, “Bɛmaa yɛ nee Kilehilevolɛ ne ɛhɔ na saa ewule bɔbɔ a yɛ nee ye ɛhɔwu.”

Mɔɔ Gyisɛse radwule la, ɔnwunle kɛ Lazalɛse ɛwu, bɛzie ye na yeli kenle nna. Bɛtani mɔɔ kɔ Gyɛlusalɛm la le “kilomita” kɛyɛ nsa, yemɔti Dwuuma dɔɔnwo ɛra kɛ bɛbakyekye Maata nee ɔ diema Mɛle arɛle wɔ bɛ diema nrenya ne ewule ne anwo.
Maata dele kɛ Gyisɛse ɛlɛba la, ɔhɔle ɔhɔyiale ye adenle. Mɛle angɔ bie. Maata hanle hilele Gyisɛse kɛ, “Awulae, saa ɛwɔ ɛke a, anrɛɛ me diema nrenya ne anwu! Na eza meze kɛ, kɛkala bɔbɔ, debie biala mɔɔ ɛkɛbiza Nyamenle la, ɔkɛyɛ ɔkɛmaa wɔ.”
Gyisɛse zele ye kɛ, “Ɛ diema nrenya ne badwazo ara ngoane nu.”
Maata buale kɛ, “Meze kɛ ɔbadwazo yeara ngoane nu wɔ mekɛ ne mɔɔ li awieleɛ la anu.”
Gyisɛse zele ye kɛ, “Mame a mele ewudwazo ne nee ngoane ne a. Mɔɔ kɛlie me kɛli la, saa ɔwu bɔbɔ a ɔkɛnyia ngoane; yɛɛ mɔɔ de aze na ɔdie me ɔdi la ɛnrɛwu ɛlɛ. Ɛdie ɛhye ɛdi ɔ?”
Maata buale kɛ, “Ɛhɛe, Awulae! Medie medi kɛ wɔmɔ a ɛle Mɛzaya ne, Nyamenle Ara ne mɔɔ ɔwɔ kɛ ba ewiade la.”

Maata hanle ɛhye la, ɔziale ɔhɔle na ɔhɔdule ɔ diema Mɛle azukue kɛ, “Kilehilevolɛ ne ɛra na yebiza wɔ.” Mɛle dele la, ɔdwazole na ɔnriandile ɔhɔyiale Gyisɛse. (Ɛnee Gyisɛse ɛtɛdwule sua ne azo, na ɔtɛbɔ ɛleka mɔɔ Maata hɔyiale ye la.) Dwuuma mɔɔ ɛnee wɔ sua nu ɛkɛ ne ɛlɛkyekye Mɛle arɛle la nwunle kɛ yezi yemaa ɔ nwo zo na ɔlɛnriandi yeahɔ la, bɛdwenlenle kɛ ɔlɛkɔ ɔ diema ne sɛka zo lɔ yeahɔzu. Yemɔti bɛdoale ye.
Mɛle dwule ɛleka mɔɔ Gyisɛse wɔ na ɔnwunle ye la, ɔdule ɔdɔle ɔ gyakɛ anu na ɔzele kɛ, “Awulae, saa ɛwɔ ɛke a, anrɛɛ me diema nrenya ne anwu.”
Gyisɛse nwunle kɛ Mɛle ɛlɛsi azu, na Dwuuma mɔɔ nee ye ɛra la ɛlɛsu la, nyane kpole hanle ye manle alɔbɔlɛ hunle ye. Ɔbizale bɛ kɛ, “Nienwu a bɛdole ye a?”
Bɛzele ye kɛ, “Awulae, bɛla banlea.”
Gyisɛse zunle. Yemɔti menli mɔɔ wɔ ɛkɛ ne la hanle kɛ, “Nea, amgba ɔkulo ye edwɛkɛ kpalɛ!”
Na bie mɔ hanle kɛ, “Se anrɛɛ ɔtukuedukue anyenzinliravolɛma anye o! Duzu ati a yeanlie Lazalɛse yeanvi ewule nu a?”

Gyisɛse lile nyane kpole bieko na ɔhɔle nla ne anwo. Nla ne le bolɛ bɔne yɛɛ bɛvale bolɛ bɛnyinle ɔ nloa. Gyisɛse zele bɛ kɛ, “Bɛye bolɛ ne!”
Maata, mɔɔ le nrenya ne mɔɔ ɛwu la adiema raalɛ ne zele kɛ, “Awulae, yebɔ! Bɛziele ye la ɛnɛ le kenle nna!”
Gyisɛse zele ye kɛ, “Metɛkanle metɛkilele wɔ kɛ saa ɛdie ɛdi a ɛkɛnwu kɛ Nyamenle anyunlunyia ne si de la ɔ?” Bɛhundole bolɛ ne bɛyele ye ɛkɛ. Gyisɛse nleanle anwuma na ɔhanle kɛ, “Egya, meyɛ wɔ mo somaa kɛ wɔdie me a. Meze kɛ dahuu ɛtie me edwɛkɛ, na melɛka ɛhye wɔ menli mɔɔ kɛkala wɔ ɛke la ati, amaa bɛalie bɛali kɛ ɛdawɔ a ɛzoanle me a.” Ɔhanle ɛhye la, ɔdeanle nu kpole ɔzele kɛ, “Lazalɛse, dwazo bɛla!” Nrenya ne mɔɔ ɛwu la vindele rale, na ndanlɛ mɔɔ bɛvale bɛkyekyele ye funli ne la kyekye ɔ sa, ɔ gyakɛ nee ɔ da. Gyisɛse zele bɛ kɛ, “Bɛzianyizianyi ye na bɛmaa ɔhɔ.”
