They said that they were traveling to earth.  They called Orunmila to come from Orun. 
Olodumare gave the permission from Orunmila to go.  Orunmila departed. 
          
To the place where him their day began he rested in the stonewall of Orisanla.  Orunmila
began its day and the Iyaami was along the way.  Orunmila asked them it was they were
going.  The Iyaami said that they went to earth.  Orunmila said it what he/she goes to
make the there?  The Iyaami said they were looking for those that would not be its allies
and when they found them that they would torment them.  They said that they would
ruin them, bring the illness to their bodies, take you their intestines, coma their eyes,
coma their livers, and their blood.  drink We won't show the mercy and we will ignore
the supplications of people of the earth.  The Iyaami said that they didn't taste like
anybody children.  Orunmila told them its children you maintained in earth.  The Iyaami
told him that he/she spoke its children.  They told him that he/she told them to pick up
the ogbo it leaves, a pumpkin, the tip of the line of a rat of the okete, the body of a rat of
the okete, the hen eggs that the rorun leans on, the pasta of the flour of corn, palm oil
and money.  , Orunmila gave the message to its children.  Orunmila told to its children
that picked up the things requested by Iyaami.

entered in the world that fortune.  looks for the good one They looked for it above the
tree of the ajanrere and they didn't find it.  They looked for it above the tree of the iroko
and they didn't find it.  They looked for it above the bereke of the ogun he/she forces to
take refuge in a tree and he/she didn't find it.  They looked for it above the tree of the
arere and they didn't find it.  They went to the summit of the great well-known tree as
the segisegi of the ope near the Awinrinmogun River.  When they arrived that they
rested and they built a house in the summit of the tree.  The Iyaami said that this is the
place where we send to gather.  The Iyaami built a heap of earth earth to the base of the
tree like a place for the birds to gather.  The birds picked up and they sent the illness
along the earth.  They didn't allow any woman to become pregnant.  Those that were
pregnant children.  didn't surrender
          
People of the earth requested them their assistance.  a children of the those of Orunmila
The children of Orunmila had already made the ebo requested by Orunmila.  Because
they made the ebo that the Iyaami said that the children of Orunmila could call in them
in a voice.  the depressed ones of very of sad Then were told the children of the earth to
make the same ebo and to take it to the earth heap to the base of the tree.  The Iyaami
told them that they sang.
          
The small mother you will know my voince, Iyaami Osoranga you will know my voice,
Iyaami Osoranga each word that I speak that the leaf of the ogbo says that you will
understand my prayers.  Iyaami Osoranga you will know my voice, Iyaami Osoranga
that the pumpkin says that you will take my offering, Iyaami Osoranga you will make all
that I say.

The children of Orunmila sang the incantation.  When they finished that all the birds
were silent.  The children of Orunmila made this for people of the earth.  Orunmila gave
the medicine to people of the earth to heal the damage made by the birds.  It was in this
day that Iyaami told to the children of Orunmila that they would make something they
were asked and there would be manifest.  It was in this day that they learned how to
make the incantations in in a low voice so that Olorun would allow earth people to
achieve the good things.

The comment
The Great earth mass at the end of the road (the name of the commendation for Ogun),
the infinite ashes (the name of the commendation for Oya) the launching Ifa for Iyaami
Osoranga in the day that she made to the day from the sky to earth.  They said that they
wanted to hear the voices of the children of the mysteries, when Iyaami was coming.  (the
latent power of women was looking for its place adapted in the culture of Yoruba).   They
said that they were traveling to earth.  They called Orunmila to come from Orun. 
Olodumare gave the permission from Orunmila to go.  Orunmila departed.  (The
mothers looked for the advice of Ifa to find their place in the world).
          
To the place where him their day began he rested in the stonewall of Orisanla. (Ifa
wanted to find a peaceful resolution of the question what is the appropriate place for the
power of the mothers in the culture of Yoruba) Orunmila its day began and the Iyaami
was along the way.  (The resolution of the question was a cooperative effort between the
men and women).   Orunmila asked them it was they were going.  The Iyaami said that
they went to earth.  Orunmila said it what he/she goes to make the there?  The Iyaami
said they were looking for those that would not be its allies and when they found them
that they would torment them.  They said that they would ruin them, bring the illness to
their bodies, take you their intestines, coma their eyes, coma their livers, and their blood. 
drink We won't show the mercy and we will ignore the supplications of people of the
earth.  The Iyaami said that they didn't taste like anybody children.  (The mother
worries to be ignored by earth people).   Orunmila told them its children you maintained
in earth.  The Iyaami told him that he/she spoke its children.  They told him that he/she
told them to pick up the ogbo it leaves, a pumpkin, the tip of the line of a rat of the okete,
the body of a rat of the okete, the hen eggs that the rorun leans on, the pasta of the flour
of corn, palm oil and money.  , Orunmila gave the message to its children.  (The mothers
are overwhelming Orunmila how to be protected of their anger)  Orunmila told to their
children that picked up the things requested by Iyaami.

take refuge in a tree and he/she didn't find it.  They looked for it above the tree of the
arere and they didn't find it.  (The several trees represent the several places of power for
the different spirits none of who would work in the cooperation with the mothers).   They
went to the summit of the great well-known tree as the segisegi of the ope near the River
of Awinrinmogun. (The sacred tree to Yemoja Ogun and Oya) When they arrived that
they rested and they built a house in the summit of the tree.  The Iyaami said that this is
