Na7imaane dere as Zoofaarey hizgides; 
«Hayssa ha hada qaalatas ubbaas zaaro immizay baye? Asi haasaya daron xillo gidana dandayzee? 
Iyoobee! Ne haasayda hada haasayatas zaaroy imettontta misatizee? Ne hayssa mala qilccishin nena seerana asi bayndaz misatizee? 
Ne qofan, ‹Tani xillo› gaasa; Xoossaska, ‹Ne sinththan tani geeshsha› gaasa. 
Xoossi nees haasaydaakkonne likke zaaro immidaakko aazee dizay! 
Erateththas ogey daro gidida gishshas, Xoossay nees erateththa xuura qonccisidaakko aazee dizay! Hessa gishshas Xoossi nena qaxxayizay nees bessizayssafe guuththara gididayssa era. 
«Neni Xoossas ciimma gidida xuura eranaas dandayay? Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossa pilggada gakkanawu dandayay? 
Iza gitateththay saloppe bolla; neni ay ooththanawu dandayay? Iza ciimmateththayka si7ooleppeka ziqqa; neni ay eray? 
Xoossa gitateththay biittafe darees; abbafe aakkees. 
Xoossi yiidi qachchiko, gede pirda keeth shiishshidaakko oonee iza digganay? 
Xoossi go7ontta asata erees; izi qoho beyishe co7u giidi xeellenna. 
Eeya asi eranchcha gidanaappe harey as gididi yelettanayssi kawuyana; 
Gidikkoka neni ne wozina suurisikko, ne kusheza miccada pude Xoossako woossiko, 
Neni nagarappe haakkiko, iita miishshika neson beettontta mala ne ooththiko, 
he wode dhoqqu gaada yeellay baynda ubbaa miish ne beyana; yeellay baynda minna eqqanawu dandayaasa. 
Ne metoza ubbaa ne dogana; ne akeekizaykka aadhdhi bichchida haro haaththa mala gidana. 
Ne shemppoya seeta gallassa awappe aadhdhada poo7ana; dhumaykka wontta poo7o mala gidana. 
Nees hidotay diza gishshas nenikka ammanettada daana; Xoossi nena naagiza gishshas neni hirgay baynda woppu gaada daana. 
Ne oonaska babbontta ichchana; daro asatikka ne sinththan bonchcho demmanaas koyana. 
Iitata ayfey qooqana; istti attana ogeti ubbay gorda gidana; istta wurseththayka hayqo.»
