«Wolqqama uushoppe dendoyssan ta wozinay kokkorides; Yashshateththafe dendoyssan piri baana gakkides. 
Iza doonappe ke7iza qaala siyite; Dada mala guummiza giirissa qaala siyite. 
Saloppe garsan wolqqanththi wolqqamees; biitta gaxa gakkanawu kiittees. 
Hessafe guye wolqqama ba giirissa sissees; yashissiza ba giirissa dada mala guunththees; Wolqqanththa poo7oykka zaari zaari beettees; ba yashissiza giirissan guummees; Izi ba giirissa sissiza wode wolqqanththa diggenna. 
Xoossa giirissa gunththay malalisiza gita guunth guummees; nuni eranawu dandayontta gita miishshata ooththees. 
Biitta bolla shachchi wodhdhana mala ooththees; wolqqama iraykka bukkana mala azazees. 
Izi medhdhida asati iza ooso erana mala; ubbaa asay bantta oosoza ooththontta mala teqqees. 
He wode wora do7ati, baqatidi bantta qoteteththaso geleettes; bantta gongolozan qoteteettes. 
Wolqqama carkoy pudehappe dendees; moociza carkoy pudehappe yees. 
Xoossa peenoy haaththa moocisees; izappe shach medhdhees. 
Shaaray haaththa tookkana mala ooththees; ba giddon wolqqanththi wolqqamana mala ooththees. 
Goda kaaleththon shaarati biitta yuushon yuuyeettes; banttana maaddiza azazotakka poleettes. 
Xoossi ira bukisizay biittaa irxxisanaas, asata qaxxayanaas woykko ba siiqo qonccisanaassa. 
Iyoobee! Neni takki gaada siya; Xoossi ooththiza malalisiza oosota wozinan woththada akeeka. 
Xoossi shaara wostti azazizaakko, wolqqanththaka wostti wolqqanththizaakko neni eray? 
Shaara salo bolla wostti woththidaakko, malalisiza ubbaa eriza Xoossa oosoza ne eray? 
Saloy xarqimala misatiza wode, wolqqama bazzo carkoy biitta bolla carkiza wode neni homben seerana. 
Xoossi salo seerida mastoote mala micciko, neni iza matan uttada maaddanawu dandayay? 
«Nuus eray pace gidida gishshas nuni ay giidi Xoossas zaaranaakko neni nuna ane tamaarsa. 
Xoossara haasayana gaada oychchike; ta iza oychchada aazas izi tana dhayssana mala denththeththoo? 
Carkoy shaara saloppe qucci geeshshiza wode, oonikka xolqiza arshe tishshi histti xeellanaas dandayenna. 
Pudehappe worqqa mala xolqiza poo7oy yaana; Xoossi malalisiza teeman qonccana. 
Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossay nu qofappe bolla; iza wolqqay gita; izikka tumu pirdizaade. 
Bantta qofan, ‹Nuni aadho eranchchata› gizayta izi kadhees; hessa gishshas asay wuri izas yayyees.»
