Qasseka Xoossi Iyoobes, 
«Iyoobee! Asi Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossara marshettidi laththana nees misatizee? Tanara Xoossara marshettizay nena gidida gishshas ane taas zaara» gides. 
Iyoobi zaaridi, 
«Godoo! Tani aykko maaddontta laafa asa, hannife guye ta kushen ta doona gordada; co7u guussafe attiin nees ta zaarana zaaroy taas deenna. 
Tani issito gaanayssa gadis; gido attiin taas zaariza miishshi baawa; hayssafe guye ubbaaka ta haasaykke» gides. 
Hessafe guye GODAY gote carko giddon gididi Iyoobes hizgides, 
«Ane adde gidikko dendada gixeta; ta oychchizayssa taas zaara. 
Tana pirda geellasizaade kessada nena xillo as kessanaas dafettay? 
Xoossa wolqqa mala mino wolqqay nees dizee? Xoossa qaala gunththa mala ne qaalay guummanawu dandayzee? 
Hessa mala gidikko ane ne bonchchoninne ne gitateththan denda! Ne teemateththinne gitateththa may7a. 
Otoranchchata beyada kawushsha; ne hanqoza istta bolla guussa. 
Ane lo7eththa xeellada otoranchchata ubbaa yeellachcha; iita ooththizayta istti dizason heen dhayssa. 
Istta ubbaa moogo may7on xaaxada issi bolla duufon mooga. 
Hessafe guye neni ne wolqqan xoonizayssa tani nees markkattana. 
«Tani nena medhdhidayssaththo Horiqe geetettiza do7a medhdhadis; izikka boora mala maata mees. 
Izas xeessan diza wolqqa beya; izas ulo giddon diza shaya minoteththa xeella. 
Izas goynay Libaanoose ziga miththa mala sitti gidayssa; izas gedaa xaphotikka minonne ordeta. 
Iza meqeththatikka xarqimalanne birata marco mala minota. 
Ta medhdhida medheta ubbaafe wolqqama; taappe attiin iza xoonanay haray deenna. 
Wora do7ati ubbay kaa7iza zumay, izas miza miish mokisees. 
Kuway diza miththa garsan, maqqa giddoninne haaththi dizaso care giddon ichchees. 
Kuway diza miththati iza bantta kuwan genththeettes; shaafa doonan dicciza miththati iza kammeettes. 
Shaafa haaththa kixas izi dagammenna; Yordaanoose shaafay keehi kumidi goggiinkka izi yayyenna. 
Iza ayfeta toyssidi iza oykkana asi dizee? iza siidhekka dafon qachchidi iza oykkanaas dandayzay oonee?
