Yuyur Dawud ssenni uca iqqim di lqelɛat deg idurar n Ɛayn-Jadi. 
Uca imsar, umi dd-iɛqeb Cawul zeg weḍfar n Ifilisṭiniyyen, ɛawden as, nnan: “Dawud aqa-t di řexřa n Ɛayn-Jadi.” 
Xenni iksi Cawul teřt-ařaf n yeryazen ittwafarzen zi marra Israil, iffeɣ ḥima ad yarzu x Dawud d yeryazen nnes arendad n tṣuḍar n Iɣayḍen n Řejruf.

Xenni nnan as yeryazen n Dawud: “Xzar, wa d ass i x d ac inna SIDI: ‘Xzar, Necc ad ac ggeɣ řeɛdu nnec deg ufus nnec u cek tzemmared akides tegged min tᵉttwařid nican di tiṭṭawin nnec.” Uca ikkar Dawud, iqess s tnuffra ijj n ṭṭarf zeg useřham n Cawul. 
Awarni as maca issdewdiw uř n Dawud dayes, minzi netta tuɣa icarreg ijj n ṭṭarf zeg useřham n Cawul. 
Netta inna i yeryazen nnes: “SIDI ad ayi iḥḍa aqa necc ad ggeɣ aya i sidi inu, i umedhun n SIDI, aqa ad sswiẓẓḍeɣ afus inu ḍidd nnes, maɣar netta d amedhun n SIDI!” 
Issiweř Dawud ak-d yeryazen nnes s wawařen iqesḥen u war ten ijji ad hejmen x Cawul. U Cawul ikkar, iffeɣ-dd zeg ifri, iṭṭef abrid.

Inna Dawud i Cawul: “Mayemmi tesřid ɣar wawařen n iwdan, inni iqqaren: ‘Xẓar, Dawud ixs ad ac igg řɣar?’ 
Xzar ass-a teẓrid s tiṭṭawin nnec, aqa SIDI igga cek ass-a deg ifri deg ufus inu. Nnan ayi ḥima ad cek nɣeɣ, maca necc ḥawřeɣ xak, minzi nniɣ ak-d yixef inu: ‘Necc war sswiẓẓaḍeɣ afus inu ḍidd i sidi inu, maɣar netta d amedhun n SIDI.’ 
Xzar baba, ṭṭarf n useřham nnec aqa-t deg ufus inu. Umi necc carrgeɣ ijj n ṭṭarf n upartessu nnec, war cek nɣiɣ. Xenni ssen u xzar, aqa war ɣari deg ufus inu řa d tuɛeffna uřa d axeṭṭu u necc war kik xḍiɣ ca. Maca cek tarezzud ḥima ad ayi tekksed tudart inu.

Am mammec iqqar wawař iweznen n řejdud: ‘Zeg iɛeffanen ittas-dd tuɛeffna!’, maca afus inu war ittiři ḍidd i cek. 
Awarni man wen iḍeffar ujeǧid n Israil? Man wen i tyemmared? Awarni yijj n weqzin immuten, awarni i yijj n uyenni n ucurdu! 
SIDI ad yiři d řqaḍi nneɣ u netta ad iḥkem jar ayi d cek. Netta ad ixzar di man aya uca ad iḥkem x ddeɛwet inu u Netta ad ayi yaɣ tasɣart zeg ufus nnec.” 
Umi ikemmeř Dawud x řhard n wawařen-a i Cawul, imsar, aqa Cawul inna: “Ma ta d tmijja nnec, mmi Dawud?” Xenni issgeɛɛed Cawul tmijja nnes, iru. 
Inna netta i Dawud: “Cek d amsegged xafi necc, maɣar cek teggid akidi mliḥ, maca necc ggiɣ akidek tuɛeffna. 
Cek, wah cek tessecned ayi ass-a, mammec d ayi teggid mliḥ, maɣar SIDI tuɣa igga ayi deg ufus nnec u cek war d ayi tenɣid ca. 
Maɣar mařa ijj n weryaz yufa řeɛdu nnes, ma xenni ad t yejj ad yuyur abrid nnes di řxar? SIDI ad cek ixeǧeṣ s řxar di ssibbet n min d ayi teggid ass-a. 
Řexxu ssneɣ, aqa cek ad tdewřed d ajeǧid u tageldit n Israil ad temten s ufus nnec. 
X uyenni jjaǧ ayi řexxu ɣar SIDI, aqa cek war tqeṭṭɛeḍ zzariɛet inu awarni ayi u war tᵉttekksed isem inu zi taddart n baba!” 
Dawud ijjuǧ i Cawul u Cawul yareggʷeḥ ɣar taddart nnes u Dawud d yeryazen nnes geɛɛden ɣar lburj deg idurar.
