In the land of Oluloye, the obiní Awani Loye had a son who was given Elegba, and at seven years old he left her side. Going through great hardship, she met Obatalá and fainted from hunger: the shadow of Egun Orugbaye appeared, and Obatalá, with two doves and a rooster, brought her back to life. Obatalá and Egun gave each other moforibale, took the boy before Orun and swore him in: «Go out and find your Elegba, so it can be consecrated together with you.» With Obatalá's little bell around his neck and Egun's piece of iron and hoe, he went sounding down the road and called his mother: «Iyá mi kele kele iye Olorun.» She handed him her Elegba with her blessing — «kashegbó kashetó: everything you do in life will come out well for you» —, Osain appeared, they consecrated the secret inside his Elegba with three jio jio and the blood of three mice, and they took him to Awó Ika Bameyi to make Ifá: he brought out Oyekun Meyi, and in the Untefá, Ika Bemi. Four days into Ifá, together with Shangó, they washed his lerí with seven mariwó at daybreak, and the godfather gathered that water, set it at the foot of Shangó, gave it a young dove and sent it to the river. And that is how the Untefá of Orunmila was made.
In the land of Oluloye there was an obiní named Awani Loye, who had an omo who was given Elegba — and he did not have to make Ocha —, and at seven years old he left his mother's side.
While Awani Loye was going through great hardship, she met Obatalá on the road one day and began to sing: «Awo Baniche yenyere Obatalá, Awani Loye Obatalá, Awani Loye.» And Obatalá said to her: «Omoya nilegun oyanilegun omo yareo egun Awani Loye.» And Awani Loye fainted from the hunger she carried, and the shadow of Egun Orugbaye Oku Orun Oru Baye appeared.
Obatalá was astonished; he had two doves and a rooster, and he gave them to eat, and that is how Awo Obaniche came back to life. Obatalá gave moforibale to Egun, and Egun gave moforibale to Obatalá, and they took the boy to where Orun was and swore him in, telling him: «Go out and find your Elegba, so it can be consecrated together with you.» He set out, and said to Obatalá and to Egun: «Give me your blessing», and he left for the land of Oluloye. Obatalá handed him a little bell and hung it around his neck, and Egun gave him a piece of iron and a hoe so he could go sounding down the road, and Egun told him: «You have to call your mother this way: Iyá mi kele kele iye Olorun.»
When he reached the land of Oluloye, his mother was eating guinea hen and dove; she gave him some of what she was eating, and he was happy and told her: «I have come for my Elegba.» She handed it to him and said: «My son, kashegbó kashetó: everything you do in life will come out well for you.» At that moment Osain appeared and said: «Etu mayawa egun eye egun mayilona», and he set out walking with the boy Ogbe Nile, and all along the road he went praying: «Oshanlá egun bimori weye.»
They brought him before Obatalá and consecrated his Elegba, and they gave it three jio jio and the blood of three mice. All this secret they put inside his Elegba, and they went out singing to where Awó Ika Bameyi was, so he would make Ifá for him. Awó Ika Bameyi was astonished to see Obatalá, Osain and Egun; after giving them moforibale he asked them: «What have you come for?», and they answered him: «Wabani tefo eni Ifá tifa Orunmila eni fa adele wewe nifa yumbale.»
And Orunmila took them in and sent for the Babalawos, and they made Ifá for him, and he brought out Oyekun Meyi; Oni Shangó Awani Loye sat Osa Kuleya, and Ika Bemi came out. And four days into Ifá, together with Shangó, they took him out early in the morning and brought him with seven mariwó, and they washed his lerí and sang to him: «Oniere lewa oni Ifá Olorun, onire lalawe eni Ifá Olorun.»
The godfather gathered that water with the mariwó, set it at the foot of Shangó, gave it a young dove and cleaned it, and sent it to the river. And that is how the Untefá of Orunmila was made.
