Hessafe guye kawozi Xiibbas, «Kase Memfebostes dizay ubbay hayssafe guye neessa» gides; Xiibbay, «Daro ashketeththan sinththa guth gufannada ta nees kushe denththana; kawo ta godawu ne sinththan taas ayoteththi beetto» gides.

Hessa gishshas Dawitinne izara diza asay ba oge sinth gujjides; Shim7ey iza ginara diza laddaara bishe doqqees, shuch caddeessinne biitta iza bolla laallees. 
Kawozinne izara issife diza asati ubbay bantti baana gi qoppidaso gakkida; keehi daaburda gishshas heen shempida.

Dawite lagge Arkke dere as Hushey Abeseloomekko yiidi, «Kawoo! Mernaas kawota! Kawoo! Mernaas kawota!» gides. 
Abeseloomey Hushes, «Ne laggezas diza ammaneteththay nees hanno xallaa? Ne ays ne laggezara babeekkii?» gi oychchides. 
Hushey Abeseloomes zaaridi, «Hessa ta wostta ooththanee? Tani GODAAN, ha derezaninne Isra7eele asaa ubbaan doorettidaade bagga gidana; izaadera issife daana. 
Histtiin ta iza naazas haggazontta oonas haggazoo? Ne aawaas ta haggazida mala neeskka haggazana» gides. 
Abeseloomey Akxofeele, «Ane nuus zore imma; nu ay ooththinoo?» gides. 
Akxofeeley izas zaaridi, «Kawo keeththaa naagana mala ne aaway aggi bida iza laggeththotara gela zin7a; hessafe guye neni ne aawaa keeha ixxidayssa kumeththa Isra7eeley siyikko nenara diza ubbata qesey minnana» gides. 
Hessa gishshas Abeseloomes pooqe bolla dunkaane tolida; heen kumeththa Isra7eele derey be7ishin ba aawaa laggeththotara zin7ides. 
He wode Akxofeeley immiza zorey ubbay Xoossa qaalay zorizayssa misati qoodettees; Dawitinne Abeseloomey Akxofeele zore hessaththo histti ekkeettes.
