Nope. And on the offchance your next guess is "Talodi", then you're right!

Lemme guess ─ that was from a Bible translation, and Karch reads a lot of Bible translation sites.

No, it was from a random SIL article ("Lumun Narrative Discourse Analysis" by Timothy Stirtz).

Having eliminated the Heiban languages, I guessed the only Talodi language that has a bible translation, which was Lumun. I didn't look at the translation before guessing, though, only looking at it afterwards to confirm my guess.
Anyway here's a new text:

Háré, gájayɨ́ an khɨ́ birí abʼigín gɨ́ ʉn yalʉ́ gán ɨmʉ́ tolá, kurán tochá jepʉ́r, gɨ́ thorobɨ́l ána wiyú, an dʼʉkʼʉ́ es akhʉgʉ́, gájayɨ́ an kʼásá ngwál gʉan. Tene, gájayɨ́ ʉn dʼʉkʼʉ́ gán birí mʉ́ tolá yalʉ́, mʉ́ ana gɨl thorobɨ́l, ana metɨan. Gɨ́ me, gájayɨ́ an dʼʉkʼʉ́ birí khɨ́, mʉ́ ana gɨl thorobɨ́l, ana khʉgʉ́-es, awiya.
