Isra7eele asay qohidosona; ta entana kiitida kiita naagonna ixidi, caaquwa menthidosona. Enti digetidabaape ekidosona; kaysotidosona; wordotidosona; qassi he miishiya banta miishiyara walakidosona. 
Hessa gisho, Isra7eele asay banta morketa sinthan eqanaw danda7ibookona. Enti dhayanaw bessiya gisho, banta morketa sinthafe guye simmidi baqatidosona. Hinte giddofe dhayanaw bessiyaba hinte dhaysona ixiko, hizape ta hintera gidike.”

Iyyasuy Akaanako, “Ta na7aw, Godaa, Isra7eele Xoossaa boncha; ane ne oothidaba taw qosonna oda” yaagis. 
Akaani zaaridi, “Ee tuma, taani Godaa Isra7eele Xoossaa naaqas. Taani oothiday haysa; 
Nuuni di77idi ekida miishiya giddofe issi lo77o Sana7oora biitta kaaba, nam7u kilo gidiya birata biranne bagga kilo gidiya worqa be7ada amottas; ekas. Yaatada ta dunkaaniya giddon biitta bookada bira garsara wothada moogas.”

Kiitetidi bida asati he miisheta dunkaaniyape Iyyasukonne Isra7eele asa ubbaako ehidi, Godaa sinthan wothidosona. 
Yaatin Iyyasuynne Isra7eele asa ubbay, Akaana, bira, kaaba, worqaa, iya adde naytanne iya macca nayta, iya mehiya, iya hareta, iya dorsata, iya dunkaaniyanne iyaw de7iyaba ubbaa Meto Zangaara geetetiya bessa efidosona.
