I have tethering sticks left
in the cattlecamp of the Aweeng district, tethering poles that are left, the cattle camp of Ajuuk, our cattlecamp of Lang Mabil our cattlecamp of Lang.
tethers that are left
in Aweeng area the cattle camp of Juk, the area/cattle camp of Lang Mabil
The black bull with white on the sides of my father [in-law] Wieu Malou has brought good luck [lit. he has fallen together with cow]
for example, Apiiw of Ajok has put in many tethering poles in the area of Ajok
The black-with-white-on-sides cow is dedicated to Aju\ct\ng himself
Marial of the side of the Pawac I will still push him to the savannah.
The open area of the woodland is divided
when the cattle camp of Ring Mathiang drives (the cattle); we of Nyang Aheer have our part.
Marial of Apiw Ajuong, my father, our part of the high-ground summer cattle camp, we were disturbed by the summer rain.
Mabil stand to attention
Marial stand to attention be attentively: when our cattle camps, of the Nyang section, go to the swampy land/area; then the group of Wieu Malou will be counted (meaning recognised) as the prominent ones among the Nyang (the neck of the Nyang).
The conflict which made the Pawac move from Luach is not finished until now, it is repeated again
it (= the conflict) is like the color of the antelope, and like the color of the marabou stork, and like the mark on the stork's neck.
because of the blood feud five people were killed, and then six people, and when it was seven, then the problem became serious (for them).
then the children of one woman said, it will never stop continuing, it is better to travel, the problem of the relatives (lit. people) of the person (who got killed) is very serious.
And the people (the Pawac) again and again paid compensation (meaning: cows) to them all, but (lit. and) for one person they (family of the deceased) in the end refused, and their cows were finished, they had wasted (the cows) on the feud.
The thing of running away of the Pawaac is because of the killing of seven people.
Jiing Aluat does not drop his arm down (meaning: his aim is accurate)
He is a son of this sister of theirs.
they ran away
the sons are four
and this sister of theirs, Akwek
Akwek had poured the dura in a gourd.
When they reached the edge of the swampy area
at that time, people were not many
no one have a pounder to pound dura.
The people were few in number and in the end they were not able to chew the (boiled) dura.
And then a female cow fell for them; a pestle and a flat basket fell
and finally Akwek was left behind a low hill
Repeatedly, one kernel of dura is thrown into a pounder and suddenly it goes so that the pounding surface is filled, and the pot also fills up and as a result they all become satisfied.
they repeatedly milked the white cow, and it never is without milk, they don't tether it for a bull.
and this cow is being given by God
they went through the swampy area
through Low (name of village) of Arik Mawien (name of its chief)
so that they then arrive in Jur of Mananger
when they arrived Manager
they (the people from Luac) finally caught up with them (the Pawac) again at the edge of the river
which is the place of the coming together for the battle
(which is) the place of the killing of Tong, the shore of Tong
And then after that they ran again
The people (the Pawac) are being reached again reach at the other side of the big channel
incomplete construction (Again they Deng ...)
(they) come to kill (Deng) at the channel of the whirlpool of Deng
The whirlpool of Deng
Our Deng of Pawaac is (the one after whom it is named) and the shore of Tong of the Pawac, that time we travelled from Luach of Mayen Thuch (he used to be the chief there).
And then after that they ran again.
The Luac of Mayen of Thuch
The anger (lit. strength of heart) of the person whose relative got killed does not go down.
and he wants the people (his fellow Luach people) to keep going (after the Pawac).
And for this reason they were killing these people (= the Pawac) in a line from behind, and they (Luach and Pawac) crossed to the other side
When they reach Nyangaheer, Adhaar Ngwekjok received them, and gave them a home in Adama
Only one of the aforementioned arrived that is why we have a place in Adhaar Ngwekjok
As a result my heart is sad
and I keep thinking about the misery
the big challenge we have experienced in our family (lit. home)
the big challenge that we confront (lit. in our heads)
the things that makes the cattle camp of Nyangaheer wonder.

sounds VV, even though it ends in /r/
if it would no longer produce milk, they would tether is separately, so that a bull would get it pregnant, with the outcome that it would give milk again. But so this is not necessary, because it just continues to produce milk anyway.
