Kaaleththidikka, «Ta goday ba oosanchcha ays gooddizee? Ay ooththadinaa? Ay qohadinaa? 
Ha7ikka ta godaa kawoy, ba aylleza cenggurs ezgi siyo; GODAY nena ta bolla denththeththidaa gidikko izi yarsho mo; gido attiin hayssa asi ooththidaa gidikko GODAA achchan qanggettidayta gidetto; gaasoykka, ‹Ba, baada hara eeqatas goynna› giidi GODAA achchan xinxxoy dontta mala hach yedeththida. 
Asi zuma bolla kuracho gooddiza mala Isra7eele kawoy kasttolle koyana kezida gishshas ta suuththay GODAA sinththafe haakkidi biitta bolla gukkana mala ooththofa» gides. 
Sa7oolikka, «Ta naa Dawitee! Ta qohadis; hach ta shemppoya ne sinththan diza gishshas hayssafe guye ta nena qohikke; addafe tani eeya ooso ooththadis; keehakka balettadis» gides. 
Dawitikka izas, «Kawoo ne toora hayssa beya; ne naateththatappe issaadey yiidi ekko. 
GODAY issaas issaas iza xilloteththa malanne iza ammaneteththaa mala izas qanxxo; tani gidikko hach GODAY nena ta kushen aaththi immiin tani GODAY tiydayssa bolla ta kushe denththabeekke. 
Be7a ne shemppoy ta ayfe sinththan bonchchettida mala ta shemppiyakka GODAA sinththan bonchchettidaaro gidu; izi tana meto ubbaafe ashsho» gi zaarides. 
Hessafe guye Sa7ooli Dawites, «Ta naa Dawite! Ne anjjettidayssa gida; ne gita miish ooththana; izikka nees hanana» gides. Hessafe guye Dawiti ba bizaso biin Sa7ooli baso simmides.
