Iyoobe Maxaafa.
35.
Eelihuy ba haasaya gujjidi hizgides; 
«Iyoobe ne nena, ‹Tani Xoossa sinththan Xillo› gizayssi likkee? 
‹Nagara ooththontta aggiko ta ay go7ettanee? qasseka ay demmanee?› gaada neni oychchadasa. 
Tani neessinne nenara dizaytas zaaro immana. 
«Dhoqqu gaada pude salo xeella; neeppe dhoqqu giidi diza shaara akeeka. 
Neni nagara ooththiko Xoossa aazan qohay? Neni iza darsa darsa qohikko iza ay ooththanawu dandayay? 
Neni xillo gidikko izas ay immanee? Izi neeppe aykkoka koyenna. 
Ne nagara ooththiko qohanay ne mala asata xalla. Ne lo7o miish ooththikoka ne go7izay as xalla. 
«Asi haray darssi qohishin waassees; baappe wolqqatizaade kusheppe bana ashshi ekkanaades magannees. 
Gido attiin isttafe oonikka, ‹Tana medhdhida Xoossay awanee? Leela giddoth mazamure immizayssi awanee? 
Mehetappe nuna aaththi tamaarsida; salo kafotappeka aadho eranchchata ooththiday iza› giday baawa. 
Istti waasseettes; izi gidikko istti otoranchchatanne iitata gidida gishshas isttas zaaro immenna. 
Xoossi tuma wozinappe gidontta waaso siyenna; Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossay hessa mala ezgenna. 
Iyoobee! Neni ta Xoossa aykkoka be7ikke giikkoka, ne metoy iza sinththan de7iza gishshas, neni dandayan naagana koshshees. 
Qasseka Xoossi nena ba hanqon hanqontta asa iitateththa co7u giidi aadhdhana nees misatizee? 
Iyoobee! Neni coo mela haasaya darsaasa; erateththi baynda coo gaada haasayaasa.»
