Hessafe guye, Shuuha biittafe yida Beldadoosi zaaridi, 
“Iyyoba, ne odaas wursethi baawee? Ane akeeka; nu odiyaba si7a. 
Ne nuna ayis miizi oothay? Ayis nuna tulle kessay? 
Ne hanqetada nena qohaasa; Ne hanquwan biittay kallo attanee? Woyko zaallay ba bessaafe qaaxennee? 
Nagaranchota xompey to7ana; iya tama lacoy dhayana. 
Enta keethan de7iya xompey dhayana; enta poo7oyka dhumana. 
I tangiya tangoy qaammees; iya iita qofay iya zaaridi mees. 
Iya hemethay iya xihen gelsees; iya tohoti gitetana. 
Xihey iya ginde oykana; diizi iya qaaxo diggana. 
Yurde wodoroy sa7an iyaw geemmi uttees; I hemetiya ogiyan gitey de7ees. 
Dagami iya teqidi oykees; iya guyera kaallidi iya yedethees. 
Iya wolqaa koshi wursis; dhayoy iya miyen naagees. 
Hargey iya laafethees; hayqoy iya mokidi ekees. 
Hirgi bayna de7iya ba keethaafe goodetees; enti iya hayqo geetetiya kawako efoosona. 
Iya keethay taman oyketana; I de7iyasuwan diinney laaletana. 
Garsara xaphoy melana; bollara haythi qoqofetana. 
Iya qopiya asi biittafe dhayana; iya sunthay sa7an hassayetonna attana. 
I poo7ope dhuman goodettana; alamiyape dhayana. 
Iyaw na7i woyko kochi dhayana; I de7ida bessan issi asi paxa attenna. 
Wuloha bagga asay, iya gakida metuwan dagammidosona; doloha bagga asay yashshan kokoridosona. 
Iita asaa wursethay awudeka hessa mela; Xoossaa eronna asaa qaaday hessa mela” yaagis.
