1 Isra7eele asaw, hinte nagaraa gaason dhubetidi kundida gisho ha77i Godaa, hinte Xoossaako simmite. 2 Godaako simmidi, haysada yaagidi woossite; “Nu nagara ubbaafe nuna maara; nuuni nu mettersha ayfe gidida galataa new shiishana mela ne nuna ne keehatethan shiisha eka. 3 Asoorey nuna ashshena; nu ola paratanka ammanetoko. Nuuni nu kushen medhida eeqa misileta ubbaa, ‘Nu xoossata’ gooko. Aaway baynaysatas qadhetey nena” yaagite.

4 Goday, “Ta hanqoy entafe simmida gisho, taani enta makalla hanuwape enta pathada, enta wozanape siiqana. 5 Taani Isra7eele asaas aka gidana; enti ciishshada ciyidi, Libaanose zigaa mela xapho yeddana. 6 Enta dolay cil7ana; enti shamahoda lo77ana. Enta sawoy Libaanose zigada tonku gaana. 7 Asay simmidi ta kuya garsan shempana; enti dolada cil7ana; enti woyneda ciiyana; Libaanose woyne ushshada eretiyaba gidana. 8 Efreema asaw, hizape guye eeqa misilera taw ay gahetethi de7ii? Hinte woosa si7eynne hintena naagey tana. Taani cil7o zigaa mela; hinte ayfe ayfana mela oothey tana” yaagees.

9 Cincatethi de7iya oonika haysa akeeko; wozani de7iya oonika hessa ero. Godaa ogey suure; xilloti he ogiyara hemetoosona; shin nagaranchoti iyan dhubetoosona.
