Įłá, įłaghį ts'ąkwi dzįk'e, jíe... jíe ka husá nidhen. |
| One Sunday, an old woman is thinking, "I want to go for berries." |
|
Ekú, horelyų bets'iéyé asi deyele ghą nai, nadher ú, |
| So, she goes about packing all her stuff into her boat, |
|
dene horelyų́ yałtikǫé ts'én nahedíłhi yega nodíł ú. |
| as all the people who were going to church were passing by her. |
|
"Yałtikǫé nanegha hįłtų́," hets'édi ú. |
| "Go to church, first," they were saying to her (she was being told). |
|
"Aaa... degái Mari dé k'óat'é," heni ú. |
| "Ah...to hell with the Blessed Mary," she says (if it's Mary you're talking about, let it be). |
|
Kwąt'u dene doełniilú. |
| And so it was she continued to ignore the people. |
|
Horelyų ts'iyé asi ghįla ú ku hékį. |
| When she finished putting things into the boat, she paddled away. |
|
Et'axą... et'axą nidhá ninįki ų et'axą niłts'i chok héjai. |
| As she went along, all of a sudden a big gust started up. |
|
Ts'ethįlé niłts'i. |
| It was really blowing. |
|
Ekú hełghedh ʔasą kú. |
| And so now she became frightened. |
|
Ekú... kú naghekeł ts'ethįlé. |
| And so... now she was really paddling (and it wasn't calm paddling!). |
|
"Ene Mari, sets'enenį, ʔįghą ʔįghą, sets'enenį," heni-ú. |
| "Mother Mary, help me, hurry, hurry, help me," she says. |
|
<ch'emok, ch'emok, ch'emok> |
| <paddle, paddle, paddle> |
