Temaane dere as Elfaazey hizgides; 
«Tumu era asi carko mala kushen oykettontta miish haasayi erizee? Iza ulon qohiza qofay daanaas bessizee? 
Era asi aykko go7ontta qaalataninne go7ay baynda haasayan marshettizee? 
Neni Xoossas yayyizayssa aggadasa; Xoossas bessiza goynnozakka diggaasa. 
Ne qohanchcha gididayssi ne haasayan erettees; gido attiin cinccateththa haasayan kammanaas baaxetaasa. 
Ne bolla pirdizay ne doonappe attiin tana gidikke; ne haasayay nenateththaa qonccisees. 
«Asappe sinththan yelettiday nenee? Zumati medhettanaappe sinththan ne yelettadii? 
Tumu Xoossa xuura siyadii? Asa erateth erizay nena xalla nees misatizee? 
Nuni erizayssafe dumma miish ne erizayssi aazee? Nu erizayssafe nees qonccida dumma miishshi aazee? 
Yeletan ne aawappe cimmiza hu7ey pulumida cimati qofan nunara deettes. 
Nu baggara nees yootettiza Xoossafe imettida minththeththoy nees gidennee? 
Nena ne wozinay ays haraso efizee? Ays hanqon dereqa xeellay? 
Hayssaththo ooson Xoossa bolla ne ayana denththeththadasa. Hayssa mala hanqo qaala haasayanawu gakkadasa. 
«Asi geesh gidanaas dandayzee? Asho may7iday xillanaas dandayzee? 
Xoossay ba kiitanchchata bolla ammanettenna; saloykka iza sinththan geesh gidenna. 
Moorettidaynne tuniday nagarakka haaththa mala uyiza asi ay mala iitaa? 
«Istta aawati qottontta isttas ooththidayssa, eranchchati qonccisidayssa, tanikka pilggidayssa ta nena erisays; ta nees yootays. 
Biittaya isttas xalla imettadus; imaththatikka istta giddon walakettibeettenna. 
As waayisishe de7iza iita asi ba layththa kumeththan waayettishe daana. 
Daganththiza giiris izi ba hayththan siyana; ubbaa miishshi saro misatidi izas beettiza wode iza dhayssiza miishshi iza bolla yaana. 
Izas qaaday mashshan hayqo gidida gishshas, dhumappe attana hidotay izas deenna. 
Kafos wora attida kaththa mala izi wora attana; izi dhayana dhuma gallassay izaakko matidayssa izi erees. 
Metoynne ceecey iza yashshana; olas giigettida kawo mala iza bolla minnana. 
Hayssi hananay Xoossa bolla ba kushe denththida gishshassa; Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossa bolla xalida gishshassa. 
Izi ba ordenne mino gondalle ekkidi Xoossara eqettana kezides. 
«Iza ayfey moodhen goozettides; iza xeessayka ordides. 
Hayssi ha addezi mulera kundidi dhayda katamatan, laalettanaas matida kayssa keeththata giddon dees. 
Duretenna; iza haaroykka daro wode gam7enna; biitta bollaka aakkenna. 
Dhumappe atti baanawu dandayenna; tama lacoy haggata melissidayssa malanne ciishshatikka carkon qokkida miththa mala gidana. 
Hada miishshan ammanettishe bana barkka baleththofo; hessankka izi go7ay bayndayssa gidi attana. 
Izi wodey gakkontta dishin uththay meliza malanne haggatikka cililontta miththa mala hanana. 
Izi buron kaxxontta dishe ayfezi qoqofettiza woyne miththa malanne ciishshay qoqofettiza wogara miththa mala gidana. 
Xoossa Xoossateththa erontta asatas zereththi de7enna; gubbon oosettida keeththatikka taman dippi gi xuugettana. 
Hayssa mala asati gene miish qoppeettes; metokka medhdheettes; istta wozinaykka baleththon kumides.»
