|
|
|
| (when) I step into the forest, |
| 21 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I am the son born by the Koam woman (in) the middle of the forest. |
| 22 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I am someone who lives according to his own will. |
| 23 |
|
|
|
|
|
| If anyone comes against me |

| 26 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| with force I seize even those things not granted by god." |
