Shuha dere as Belidaade geetettizayssi hizgidi zaarides; 
«Ne doonappe ke7iza qaalati gote carko mala; awude gakkanaas hayssaththo ne haasayanee? 
Xoossi pirda bokkasi erizee? Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossay xilloteth bokkasi erizee? 
Ne nayti Xoossa qohidaa gidikko, istti bantta pirda ekkida guussa. 
Gidikkoka ne Xoossako simmiko, Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossa woossiko, 
suurenne geesh gidikko izi eesoti nees bessiza sohon nena zaarana. 
Ne doomeththay guuth misatikkoka, nees poloy keehi lo7o gidana. 
«Ane kase yeleta oychcha; kase aawati gakkidasoza pilgga xeella. 
Nu layththazi buro guuth gidida gishshas nuni aykkoka erokko; nu layththayka eesho mala aadhdhizaaza. 
Istti nees tamaarsizayssinne nees yootizayssi ba akeekizayssafe ekkidi gidennee? 
Tumukka carey bayndason shacca maatay mokki erizee? Haaththi bayndason marcoy cililizee? 
Hayssi hanontta aggiko diccidi buuch gakkanaappe sinththan buro cililan dishe melees. 
Xoossa dogiza asata ubbaa wurseththay hessa mala hanana; Xoossi baawa giza asata hidotay qanxxettana. 
Achcharo keeththa mala miishshan ammanetteettes; istti hidota ooththiza miishshi diikkoka kawushshara dhayana. 
Achcharo keeththa bolla istti zemppizaa gidikko izi minni eqqenna; achcharo keeththaza izi oykkiko duuxeretti wodhdhana. 
Haaththa kallida harumay ho7o demmidi daayees; 
Xaphoza shuchcha muuhe giddon yeddees; zaalla za7an xaphees. 
Ba dizasoppe shodettiza wode izi dizasozi erettenna. 
Iza wurseththi hessa mala gidees; hara maatati biittafe doleettes. 
«Xoossi wosoy baynda asata olenna; iita asata qese minththenna. 
Hessa gishshas nenikka ufayssan miiccana malanne ‹Ililana› mala izi ooththana. 
Nena ixxiza asati gidikko yeella may7ana; iita asata keeththika dhayana.»
