Iyoobikka ba haasaya sinththawu gujjidi hizgides; 
«Suure pirda diggidi ta shemppoyo addafe camo ooththida; Ubbaa Dandayza De7o Xoossa sunththan caaqqays; 
Xoossi tana shemppora woththida wodey gakkanaas, 
ubbaaka iita qaalay ta doonappe ke7enna; ta inxarsankka wordo haasaykke. 
Intte haasaydayssi wuri likke gaada mulekka ekkike; ta hayqqanaashe gakkanaas suureteththan minna eqqanayssa aggike. 
Tani ta xilloteththan minna eqqana attiin xilloteththa aggike; shemppora paxa diza layththa ubbaan ta wozinay ha miishshan sidhenna. 
«Nagaranchchata bolla pirdettiza mala ta morkketa bolla pirdetto; tana ixxizayta bollaka gene asata bolla pirdettiza mala pirdetto.

Metoy istta bolla yiza wode Xoossi istta waasoza siyandee? 
Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossan istti ufayettandettoo? Woden wodenkka Xoossa sunththa xeygandettoo? 
«Xoossa wolqqay ay mala gitakko ta inttena tamaarsana; Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossay qoppi woththoyssa ta inttefe qottike. 
Inttenikka hayssa ubbaa ereeta; histtiin hayssa hada miish ays haasayeetii? 
«Hekko Ubbaa Dandayza Xoossay iita asinne genanchchati ekkana laatay hayssafe kaallizayssa. 
Iza nayti tiripikkoka olan wurana; iza zereththatikka kaththi dhayiin koshattana.
