Iyyoba.
19.
Iyyobi zaaridi haysada yaagis; 
Hinte tana awude gakanaw madunxiseetii? Awude gakanaw hinte qaalan tana caddetii? 
Hinte tana tammu toho cayideta; tana kawushishe yeellateketa. 
Tuma ta balidaba gidiko, ta balay tana oychana. 
Hinte hintena dhoqu dhoqu oothidi, ta kawusha tana mootanaw go7etiko, 
ha metuwa ta bolla ehiday Xoosse gideysanne ba gitiyan tana gelsiday iya gideysa erite. 
Ta qohetas gada waassin, tana alley baawa; ta qaala dhoqu oothada waassinka tana si7ey baawa. 
Ta kanthada boonnada Xoossay ta ogiya diris; ta hemetiya ogiya dhuman gordis. 
Ta bonchuwa taape qaaris; ta kallachaa ta huuphepe ekis. 
I tana mentherethi yeggis; ta ufaysa xaphora shodetida mitha mela oothis. 
Iya hanqoy ta bolla eexi keyis; I tana morkeda taybees. 
Tana olanaw ba tooranchota kiittees; enti tana olanaw miixa keexidi, ta dunkaaniya yuushuwan uttidosona. 
Xoossay ta ishata taape haassis; tana ereysati taw allaga gididosona. 
Ta dabboti taape haakidosona; ta laggeti tana dogidosona. 
Ta son moketiya imathati tana dogidosona; ta macca aylleti tana oge asada xeellidosona. 
Ta aylliya ta xeegin taw koyenna; ta woossin taw ero geenna. 
Ta machiya ta doona peenuwa shaatetasu; ta ishati tana uufidosona. 
Hari attoshin guutha nayti tana kadhoosona; tana be7idi leqoosona. 
Ta mata laggeti ubbay tana uufosoona; ta doseysati taw zoko zaaridosona. 
Ta meqethay ta gogaara oyketis; taani hayqa kichada attas. 
Ta laggeto, Xoossaa kushey tana dechida gisho, taw qadheterketi. 
Xoossay tana yedetheysada, hinte tana ayis yedetheetii? ha77i gakanaw hinte tana waaysidaysi gidennee? 
“Ha77i gakanaw ta odetida qaalay mazgabetidaako, maxaafan xaafetidaako ta dosayis shin. 
Merinaw daana mela maarisaninne irsaasen zaalla bolla woocetidi xaafetida gideerenne! 
Tana Wozidaysi de7on de7eysanne wursethan biitta bolla I eqanaysa ta erayis. 
Ta gogay meetetidi wurikoka, taani ta ashuwape shaaketada Xoossaa be7anaysa erayis. 
Hara asi gidonna taani ta huuphen, ta ayfen iya be7ana; ta wozanay he qamma laamotees. 
“Ha metuwas gaasoy iya, nu iya waati yedethino gidi hinte qopiya gidiko, 
Mashshas yayyite! Xoossa hanqoy mashshara yaana; pirdi de7eysa erite” yaagis.
