Owonrin-Osa

Owonrin-Osa says that Elegbara will not
run away on the day of the fight.
Elegbara's fight is glorious.
Thunder will not run away
on the day of the fight.
Thunder's fight is glorious.
The Lion will not run away
on the day of the fight.
The Lion's fight is glorious.
I will not run away on the day of the fight,
I hope that my warriors will not
run away on the day of the fight.
We will not run away, in order
for our fight to be glorious.
Chant this incantation over iyerosun,
marked with Owonrin-Osa.
Grind ipe-ele, put it in a calabash,
mix it with maize flour and drink it,
together with your warriors.
This is the Odu that puts flesh on Elegbara;
we sacrifice for courage in battle.
After having read this text, the Awo might want to continue recitation with these text lines:
Ifa says we should determine if our fight is good
and decent. Once this has been established,
we will not waver. We will not be scared
by anybody. And Ifa insists that before
we take up arms, we must establish
if the issue that we make so much of,
is indeed worth it. If it is, we will fight
without holding back. If it isn't,
we will refrain from fighting. Ifa instructs
us to regularly check if we are still
on the right path.
