Hayssafe guye Iyoobi hizgi zaarides; 
«Ta muuzoteththi geeddaretti uttidaakko aazee dizay! ta metoy ubbay geeddaran geeddaretti uttidaakko aazee dizay!

Ubbaa dandayza Xoossay tana ba yiishshatan caddides; istta marzetikka ta asateththa giddon laalettida; daganththiza Xoossa boshay ta yuushon yuuyi aadhdhides. 
Tumappe hardiday cilila maata demmidi caaggi erizee? Booraykka basso maata demmiko xaaggi erizee? 
Maxiney gelontta mal7ontta kaththi meetettizee? Phuuphphulle haaththi mal7izee?

«Ta amottizayssa Xoossi taas immidaakko aazee dizay! Izi ta waaso siyidaakko aazee dizay! 
Hayssa ubbaafe izas shene gidiin izi tana menththereththi yeggizaakko! Ba kusheza yeddidi izi tana dhayssidaakko!

Ta ishati gidikko haroy harotti wodhidaappe guye meliza ammanththontta shaafata mala baleththizayta.
