Neu apaokolo-sin

Noknokmatê tasaitan ume
ma taen laba teu ‘saenpaokolo
he tafeitin matak ma takain muït.

Ttok on atitus a-tbi aenöek nanan,
koâ ma kalab naheun neno-tnanan.
Koläne ntok ma natpén onlê penpene.

Aen-amnatus namlileb hit nekak,
nfe lasifnekan neu atointani in monit
he kaisâ tamnáh me tah onlê usif âmaut.

Oras neno he nmouf, hit tasaitan bale,
tapasib-a ‘sane he tfain teu hit ume.
Nokâ noknokâ lof a-tfaintém.

Tafnekan Manas

Nâko: Yohanes Manhitu

Koé, manas apinat ma aklahat
afeitin ma asain meisökan
aliüt ma âhotô manikin
ahoit ma ametob pah,
mkios ma mu’ét kai fa
mnao-aum, mfonat-aum
he mlal ma mhaputuk kai
nbi manikin pah-pinan
nbi neno ulan ma fai ulan
nbi naijan aöet ma afu aöet
nbi betî apetas ma tais apetas.
Mnao-aum ma mhail-aum nai!
