Aadho erateththaya baas keeth keexxadus; keeththas laappun tuussata essadus. 
Iza modhdho mehe shukkadus; woyne ushshu aggadus; maaddaka giigsadus. 
Histtada asaa xeyganaas ba macca aylleta kiittadus. Iza katamayppe dhoqqa soon eqqada xeygadus; 
«Inttenoo! Eray paccidayto haa gelite!» gadus. Eeyatakka iza, 
«Haa yiidi ta qumaa miite; tani aggida woyne ushshaaka uyite! 
Intte eeyateththa ogeza aggite; intte shemppora paxa de7ana; akeeka ogen hemettite» gadus. 
Qilcciza as seeriza asi ubbay baas cashshe kallana; iita as zorizaadeyka baas kawuyana. 
Qilcciza as zoroppa; ne iza zorikko izi nena ixxana. Aadho eranchcha as seera; ne iza seerikko izi nena dosana. 
Aadho eranchcha as tamaarsa; histtiko izi kaseyssafekka aadho eranchcha gidana. Xillo as tamaarsa; histtiko izi erateth gujjana. 
Aadho erateththas koyroy GODAAS yashshateththa; Geeshshaza eroykka akeeka. 
Ta gaason nees barey aduqqana; nees de7o layththayka gujettana. 
Neni aadho eranchcha gidikko go7ettana; ne qilccizaade gidikko qohettana. 
Eeya maccassi wocama darawus; iza bana haarukku; iza aykkoka erukku. 
Iza ba karen utta pe7awus; katama giddon dhoqqaso keza uttawus. 
Heera aadhdhi ba oge bizayta xeygawus. 
Izakka wozina pacetas, «Inttenoo! akeekay paccidayto taakko haa yiite. 
Kaysi uyiza haaththi mal7ees; geeman miza qumaykka suukesees» gawus. 
Gido attiin hayqqida asay heen de7izayssa, izi imaththatikka duufo giddon dizayssa istti erettenna.
