Matana Matana Pang

At one point in the recording of Ephesians in this current language
(Arop Lukep) the reader said something that rolled off the tongue and
instantly reminded me of an old Saturday Night Live sketch where Gilda
Radner would say "I'm Susanna, Susanna Danna" (or something like that).


He sais, "urata matana matana pang" (ooh raw ta mah tawn nah mah tawn
nah pong)

which means "all different kinds of work"

I find it interesting how simply the way he said it evoked this random
memory.
