Iyyoba.

“Woshi7ey awude yeliyako neeni eray? Baachoti bannakidi banta marata yeliya wode be7adii? 
Enti ay mela ageena gam7iyako, awude yeliyako ne eray? 
Enti gulbati eqetidi, banta marata yeley awudeko eray? 
Enta marati bazzon diccidi minnoosona; banta aayeta aggidi boosona; nam7antho guye simmokona. 
“Wora hareti yeda daanada oothiday oonee? Qashope enta birshidi yeddiday oonee? 
Entaw bazzuwa de7iya bessi oothada immas; maxine biittan enti daanada oothas. 
Katama waasuwape haakidi de7oosona; laaggeysta qodethi si7okona. 
Enti dereta bolla bantana heemmoosona; yan miya purco maata qoroosona. 
“Menthi new oothanaw ero gandee? Woyko ne zadalon qamma aqandee? 
Goyana mela ne iya waaxanee? Woyko waaxada goyanaw danda7ay? 
Neeni iya wolqaa minotethan ammanetanee? deexo ooso I oothana mela iyaw yegga agganee? 
Neeni kathaa shaalen qolana mela, woyko wudumman shiishana mela iya ammanay? 
“Yanchoy ba qefiya ellesada qaathawusu; shin haatha kafoda piradhanaw danda7uku. 
Yanchoy ba phuuphulliya biittan phuuphulawusu; shafen ho7ana mela aggaagawusu. 
‘Tohoy menthana, bazzo do7ati yedhana’ gada qopuku. 
Nayti babaa gidonnaada oothada entaw daro iitawusu. I daabura ubbay mela atteysi iw aykoka daanenna. 
Hessada oothada iyo cincatethi diggidaynne akeeka dhaysiday tana. 
Shin dendada iya woxiya wode, baara gaadetiya para bollanne paraawa bolla miiccawusu. 
“Iyyoba, paratas wolqaa immiday, woyko parata morgen cimba mayziday nenee? 
Parati booleda gupanaadanne garmamidi daganthanaada oothiday nenee? 
Parati banta wolqan ammanetidi dhiskoosona; oletanaw ola demba gaallaboosona. 
Yashshi erokona; enta aybika daganthenna; enta bolla mashsha shoddikoka guye simmokona. 
Enta toggiya olanchoti oykida ola miisheti, phoolishe issoy issuwara gahetidi giiroosona. 
Shin parati biitta kaashishenne yashisishe gaallaboosona; Moyze girsi si7iya wode si77i gidi eqanaw danda7okona. 
Moyzey punetiya wode ufaysan garmamoosona; ola peeno haahon ekoosona; toora mocona kiitaanne olanchota ceequwa si7oosona. 
“Xiloy ba qefiya dugeha bagga miccidi, paallanaw danda7ey ne cincatethanee? 
Arganthi pude keyidi, ba keethaa dhoqa dereta bolla keexey ne kiitanee? 
Arganthi aafo doonan ba keethaa keexidi de7ees; zaalla qophoti iyaw qol7a gididosona. 
Yan uttidi baw miyaba wochees; iya ayfey haahon geeshshidi demmees. 
Argantha nayti suuthi uyoosona; gawuxi de7iya bessan shiiqoosona” yaagis.
