Hessafe guye, Temaana biittafe yida Elfaazi haysada yaagidi zaaris; 
“Asi Xoosse go77anaw danda7ii? Hari attoshin cinca gidikoka, bana go77anaape attishin, Xoosse go77enna. 
Neeni xillo gidiko hessi Ubbaa Danda7iya Xoossaa ufaysiyee? Ne ogey borey baynaba gidiko hessan I ay wodhe demmii? 
“I nena seereynne pirdey, Neeni iyaw yayya gishoyee? 
Ne iitatethay daro gidenneyee? Ne nagaraas zawi baawa gidennee? 
Gaasoy bayna ne ishata waase xeegisadasa; asaa ma7uwa qaara ekada enta kallo yeddadasa. 
Saamotidaysata haathe ushshabaaka; koshatidaysata kathi muzabaaka. 
Neeni wolqaama, durenne bonchetida asi gidada de7ashe, 
Am7eta mela kushe yeddadasa; yi7otas wolqa dhaysadasa. 
Ne yuushoy gitetiday, akeekona yashshi nena kokorsey hessasa. 
Ne be7onna mela dhumiday, qassi kixa haathan ne muuketiday hessasa. 
“Xoossay dhoqa saluwan uttidi, dhoqan de7iya xoolintota duge xeellees. 
Shin neeni, ‘Xoossi ay erii? Sakana dhumaa giddora kanthidi, pirdanaw danda7ii? 
Salo gufantho bolla I simeretiya wode, I be7onna mela siketida shaaray iya goozees’ yaagasa. 
Nagaranchoti hemetida beni ogiyara baanaw qofaa qachadii? 
Entaw wodey gakonna de7ishin hayqidosona; enta de7o baasoy di7on meecetidi dhayis. 
Enti Xoossaako, ‘Nuupe haaka! Ubbaa Danda7iya Xoossay nuus ay oothanaw danda7ii?’ yaagidosona. 
Gidikoka, enta keetha lo77oban kunthiday Xoossaa; Hessa gisho, iita asaa qofaa ta ekike. 
“Iita asati seeretiya wode, xilloti ufaytoosona; suure asati haysada yaagidi, enta bolla qelqisoosona. 
‘Nu morketi dhayidosona; enta duretethay tamas attis’ yaagosona. 
“Iyyoba, ha77ika Xoossara giiga; iyara saro de7a; yaatiko neeni anjetana. 
Iya timirtiya si7a; iya qaala ne wozanan wotha. 
Neeni Ubbaa Danda7iya Xoossaako simmiko; new sa7i simmana; iita ooso ubbaa ne soope digga; 
Ne worqaa sa7an hola; ne Ofira worqaa shaafan yegga. 
Yaatiko Ubbaa Danda7iya Xoossay, new worqanne dooretida bira gidana. 
He wode ne Ubbaa Danda7iya Xoossan ufaytana; yeellatonna Xoossako pude xeellana. 
Neeni iya woossana, I nena si7ana; ne qangetha iyaw gathana. 
Ne qopidabay poletana; ne hemetiya ogey poo7o gidana. 
Xoossay otoreyisata kawushshees; shin ashketa ashshees. 
Ne kushey geeshshi gidiko, bala asay ne gaason maarota ekananne attana” yaagis.
