Iyoobi hizgi zaarides; 
«Hayssa ne haasayoyssan daaburanchchata maaddida nees misatizee? Qesey argacidaade minththida nees misatizee? 
Aadho erateththi paccidaades ne ay zore immadii! Ay erateththika izaades qonccisadi! 
Histtiin hayssa ne haasayana mala nena maaddiday oonee? Ne haasayana mala nena denththeththiday oona ayanaa!» 
«Wolqqama wogga gita abbaafe garsan diza hayqqidayta shemppoti wolqqama kokkorsan deettes. 
Si7ooleykka Xoossa sinththan qonccen dees; Abadoone geetettizasoza ay miishshika kammanawu dandayenna. 
Xoossi pudeha baggara diza saloza carko bolla miccides; biittaaka aykkoy bayndason kuulloti daana mala ooththides. 
Xoossi shaarati haath xunxi oykkana mala ooththees; haaththafe dendoyssan shaarati daaketettenna. 
Izi uttiza kawoteththa araata genththana; shaararakka kammana. 
Poo7onne dhuma shaakkanaas; wolqqama wogga gita abbaa sinththan saloza zawa ooththidi miccides. 
Izi hanqiza wode salo tuussati dagaman kokkoreettes. 
Izi ba wolqqan abbaa co7u ooththees; iza aadho erateththayka Era7aabe geetettizayssa dhayssana. 
Ba peenozan saloza geeshshana; xongettiza shooshshaa ba kushen caddana. 
Haytanti ubbay Xoossi ooththiza oosotappe guuththata; nu siyizayssi izas saasuketh xalla; wolqqama giirissa izayssa ooni akeekanawu dandayzee?»
