Upland-field-blessing day.
Le'ag ad ugwan an algaw ti hiyah ne nundonglandah alin di īdaw hi ūma ya umuyda manālop.
Today is upland-field-blessing day because that's the time they listen for the call of the omen bird in the upland fields and go to catch fish with a dam.
This is the third day of constructing an upland field, uma 2. That morning all those building upland fields go to their fields to listen for a favorable call, labuy, of the omen bird, īdaw. Upon hearing it, the people return home. The leader, mundū'ul, and his companions go to the river and catch a few river fish, hālop. They take them along with cooked rice to a vacant house, bāun baluy, to cook and eat. Before going home they leave some of the fish and rice in the vacant house as a symbol of abundant crops from the upland fields they are constructing.

For someone (agent muɴ-) to obey a favorable call, labuy, of an omen bird (loc ref i-) for performing upland-field blessing rituals.
Maphod di alin di īdaw at nan nundū'ul ya nan i'ibbāna ya umuyda ele'ag an manālop hi wangwang.
The call of the omen bird is good and so, as for the one who initiates the development of the upland field area and his companions, they will obey (the call) for performing upland-field-blessing rituals by catching fish with a dam in the river.
