In ea luna:
ei nuna wa nide ie la-kawa-umu

And all the details:

ma lape! numu   la  peli-li-lamukae-lawa ,  wa  ata
IMP-see! member I  *1-its-sisterhood-dark , and have


ie  la-gewa la ea-kida wa  ea-lu
loc my-hand I  the-war and the-death



wa  ata  ie   la-kawa-umu  la nuna     wa  nide
and have loc  my-womb-iron I  sword(s) and soldier(s)



*1 The underworld of ea-diwe. It's not particularly like
