Nazenaraba...kara

Conjunction meaning: (why?)... because.

Desu may be put after kara to end a sentence more politely, and the ba after nazenaraba may be dropped. The reason for the action is stated in the clause between nazenaraba and kara.

1. Whit sentence inserted in the middle
彼は来ないでしょう。なぜならば行きたくないと言ってたからです。
Kare wa konai deshou. nazenaraba ikitaku nai to itteta kara desu.
He may not come. (The reason why is) because he said he didn't want to come.
