Odi-Irete
Ijimere, the awo of good condition and beauty,
was the one who cast for Arisemase Idireterete,
the lazy human, on the day that he did not want to work.
The told him to sacrifice in order to be able to work,
in order to not be afraid of working.
The offering was a ram, a hoe,
a machete and a dog.
Then we asked for the reason why.
Ifa said: "A hoe never fails in working.
A machete is never sick or ill.
A dog works its way through dense undergrowth
if that is necessary ro be able to work.
A ram never fears any opposition".
