«Asho may7ida asas layththay qaanththa; hessika meton kumides. 
Ciishsha mala beettidi heerakka qokkees; eesho mala daro gam7ontta heera aadhdhees. 
Histtiin neni hayssa mala asa medheteththa kaalettay? Ne sinththika pirdas shiishshanee? 
Tuna miishshafe geeshsha miish demmanaas dandayzaadey oonikka deenna. 
Asa layththas wodhida zaway dees; asi daana aginatikka ne matan qoodan deettes; nenikka woththida layththa zawappe aadhdhizaadey deenna. 
Uneti aqizaadey ba ooththana gallassa oosoyo polidi ufayettiza mala, asikka ba daabura gallassan ufayettana mala ne ayfe iza bollafe denththa. 
Qanxxettida miththa uththaska hidotay dees; nam7anththo simmi aacanaassinne haggata kessanaas dandayees. 
Aykkoka xaphoti biitta giddon cimmikokka, anoykka biitta giddon musikko, 
Irxxa demmiko nam7anththo aacees; oorath tokettida miththa mala haggata kessees. 
Asi gidikko hayqqidi kase baynda mala hanees; hayqqidaappe guye awan beettanee? 
Abba haaththi wuriza mala, shaafa haaththika meliza mala, 
asikka hessa mala hayqqidaappe guye haa simmenna; saloy aadhdhanaashe gakkanaas dendenna; dhiskofekka beeggenna. 
«Hayqqidayta giddon ne tana qottidaakko aazee dizay! Ne hanqozi aadhdhana wodey gakkanaas ne tana qottidaakko! Qaxaro gallas qachchada ne tana qoppidaakko! 
Asi hayqqidaappe guye ashora paxa daanaas dandayzee? Taas wodey laamettana gakkanaas, ta hayssa baaxe layththaa gencca aaththana. 
He wode neni tana xeygana; tanikka nees ‹Yee› gaana; ne medheta gidida tana beyanaas ne laamotana. 
Hekko ha7i ne ta hemeta kaalettaasa; gidikkoka ta nagara qoppaka. 
Ta qohoy karaxiiten xunttettana; ta nagarakka ne kammana. 
«Zumay harottiza malanne woddiza mala, zaallayka ba dizasoppe dhoqallettiza mala, 
haaththi shuch woocidi ongiza mala, di7oy biitta meecciza mala nenikka asa hidota dhayssaasa. 
Ne wolqqay mernaas izaade bolla minnees; izikka kase baynda mala hanees; ne iza medhaka laammada ne sinththafe dhayssaasa. 
Iza nayti bonchcho demmidaakkoka izi erenna; kawuyizaakokka izi xeellenna. 
Izas iza asateththa waayezi siyettees; izikka ba metoza gishshas xalla yeekkees.»
