“Hinte bolla pirdetonna mela harata bolla pirdofite. 
Ayis giiko, harata bolla hinte pirdeysada hinte bolla pirdetana; hinte haratas makidaban hintew zaari maketana. 
Ne ayfen de7iya tuussu daaneysa be7onna ne ishaa ayfen de7iya buuriya ayis be7ay? 
Ne ayfen tuussi de7ishin ne ishaa ayfen de7iya buuriya kesso gaanaw waana danda7ay? 
Neno cubbuwaw, koyrottada ne ayfen de7iya tuussi daaneysa kessa. Iyape guye, ne ishaa ayfen de7iya buuriya kessanaw ne geeshsha xeellana. 
“Guye simmidi hintena saxona mela geeshshaba kanatas yeggofite. Banta tohuwan yedhidi iissonna mela hinte al7o inquwa gudunthota sinthan yeggofite. 
“Woossite hintew imetana, koyite hinte demmana, kare yidi xeegite hintew dooyetana. 
Woossiya oodeska imetana, koyiya oodeska bentana, kare yidi xeegiya oodeska dooyetenna. 
“Hinte giddofe ba na7i uythi woossiko shuchi immey oonee? 
Woyko molo woossiko shooshi immey de7ii? 
Yaatin hinte iita gidishe hinte naytas lo77oba imo eriko, hinte salo aaway bana woosseysatas lo77oba waati darsidi immenee? 
Harati hintew oothana mela hinte koyaba ubbaa hinteka haratas oothite. Ayis giiko, Muse higgeynne nabeti tamaarsey haysa. 
“Xuuntha wulara gelite; ayis giiko, dhayos efiya ogey wogga, wulayka dalga. Iyara geliya asayka daro. 
Shin de7uwako efiya ogeynne wulay xuunthu; yaa geliya asayka guutha. 
“Bolla baggara dorse daanidi banta gaathan suudhume gididi hinte giddo geliya wordancho nabetape naagetite. 
Hinte enta, enta ayfiyape erana; agunthafe woyney, kinchotepe laadey maxetenna. 
Hessa mela lo77o mithi ubbay lo77o ayfe ayfees; iita mithi iita ayfe ayfees. 
Lo77o mithi iita ayfe ayfena, qassi iita mithi lo77o ayfe ayfanaw danda7enna. 
Lo77o ayfe ayfonna mithi ubbay qanxetidi taman xuugetana. 
Hessa gisho, hinte enta, enta ayfiyan erana. 
“Salon de7iya ta aawa sheniya oothiya uray salo kawotethi gelanaape attishin, coo tana ‘Godaw, Godaw’ giya ubbay salo kawotethi gelenna. 
Pirda gallas daroti, ‘Godaw, Godaw, ne sunthan tinbite odibooko? Ne sunthan tuna ayyaanata kessibooko? Ne sunthan malaatata oothibooko?’ yaagana. 
He wode taani, ‘Ta hintena ubbaraka erike, hinte iita ootheysati taape haakite’ yaagana. 
“Hiza, ha ta qaala si7idi oothiya oonika ba keethaa shucha bolla keexida wozanaama asa mela. 
Iray bukis, di7oy di77is, carkoyka carkidi he keethaa sugis. Shin keethay shucha baaso bolla keexetida gisho kundibeenna. 
Ha ta qaala si7idi oothonna oonika ba keethaa shafe bolla keexida eeya uraa mela. 
Iray bukidi, di7oy di77idi, carkoyka carkidi, he keethaa sugin, he keethay kundis; iya kundethayka wolqaama” yaagis. 
Yesuusi ba oda ongida wode iya timirtey higge astamaareta mela gidonashin, maatara gidiya gisho asay iya timirtiyan malaaletidosona.
