الْمَقَامَةُ الْمَعَرِّيَّةُ

So I let him use her without compensation.

Nítorí náà mo jẹ́ kí ó lò ó láìsí èrè kankan.

On the condition that he reaps her benefit.

Lórí ìdí pé kí ó kórè èrè rẹ̀.

And not burden her beyond her capacity.

Kí ó má sì gbé ẹrù tí ó ju agbára rẹ̀ lọ lé e lórí.

So he inserted his goods into her.

Nítorí náà ó fi ohun ọ̀jà rẹ̀ sínú rẹ̀.

And he prolonged his enjoyment.

Ó sì fà inú dídùn rẹ̀ gùn.

Then he returned her to me, having deflowered her.

Lẹ́yìn náà, ó dá a padà sí mi, lẹ́yìn tí ó ti bà á jẹ́.

And offered a price for her that I do not find satisfactory.

Ó sì nawọ́ owó kan fún un tí kò tẹ́ mi lọ́rùn.

The youth said: As for the elder, he is more truthful than the sandgrouse.

Ọ̀dọ́ náà sì wí pé: Ní ti àgbà yìí, ó jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ ju ẹyẹ àparò lọ.

As for the deflowering, it was an excessive mistake.

Ṣùgbọ́n nípa jíjá abale rẹ, ó jẹ́ àṣìṣe tó kọjá àṣìṣe.

And I have pledged him.

Mo sì ti fi ẹ̀rí dúró.
