Ta naazoo! Ta qaala naaga; ta azazokka ne wozinan qum7a oykka. 
Ne paxa de7ana mala ta azazota naaga; ta timirtezakka ne ayfe ciro mala naaga. 
Hayta ne biradhdhetan qachcha; ne wozinankka xaafa. 
Aadho erateth ne taas michcho ga; akeekakka ne taas dabbo ga. 
Istti nena layma maccassafenne ba qaalan baleththiza hawusha maccassafe naagana. 
Issi gallas tani ta keeththa maskootezara kare xeelladis. 
Akeekay paccida yelagata be7adis. Istta giddofe issoy keehi eeya. 
He wodallay izi soo efiza oge baggara oykki bishe izi keeththa achchara aadhdhi bishin, 
he wode sa7ay qammanaas lankilankishin, dhumay ayfe oykkishin, 
issi maccassaya iza demmanaas kezadus; layma maccassa may7o may7ada baleththanaas murtta kezadus. 
Iza xalanne yeellay baynda maccassa; sohon woppu gaada uttuku. 
Iza issito ogen, issito gulan, issito dubbushan eqqada naagawus. 
Iza he naaza shiishsha oykkada yeerawus; yeellay baynda iza ayfe tishshi histta xeellashe, 
«Tani tason issifeteththa yarsho yarshanaas bessees; tani ta adina hach poladis. 
Histtada nena xeellanawu ke7adis; nena keeha koyadis; ha7i beya nena demmadis. 
Tani Gibxeppe yida alleqissiza ansolakka ta hiixan yeggadis. 
Tani karbbe, almmuniyemenne qarafa geetettiza sawotappe oosettida shitto ta hiixan cacafadis. 
Haa ya; ane wonttana gakkanaas siiqo aloos; qoomettidikka ufayettoos. 
Ta keeththaaway soon deenna; haako dere bides. 
Miish karaxiite kunththi ekki bida gishshas aginay dors daganththontta simmenna» gadus. 
Histtada ba mal7o haasayan iza baleththadus; ba liiqo inxarsankka cimmadus. 
Shukas laagetti biza boora mala, woximaden oykettana biza cofosho mala heerakka aamusontta izo kaallidi bides. 
Wondafe yiishshi iza tire caddana gakkanaas, iza shemppo dhayssanayssa erontta dishe piradhdhidi yarden geliza kafo mala gidides. 
Ta naazoo! Ane ha7i siya; ta doonappe keziza qaalaakka ezga. 
Ne wozinay izikko booppo; iza biza bala ogen geloppa. 
Iza kawushshada olidayti undenna; iza wodhidayta qooday keehi daro. 
Izi soy duufon efiza oge; he ogey duge hayqoso gaththees.
