[2] “Aaduu keessa ba'ee yoon iyye iyyuu, rukuttaan isaa anatti cimee waan jiruuf, har'as immoo dhibeen koo hadhaa'aa dha.
[3] Lafan itti isa argu utuun beeke, gara teessoo Waaqayyoos utuun dhaqe,
[4] silaa dhimma koo isatti nan dhi'eeffadha, afaan koo guutees isatti nan dubbadha;
[5] ani wanta inni anaaf deebisu nan bara, wanta inni anaan jechuuf jirus nan hubadhan ture.
[6] Inni humna isaa isa guddaadhaan xiiqii naan qabataa ree” Waawuu, inni dhugumaan anaaf in dhaga'a.
[7] Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyo duratti in falmata, anas immoo Waaqayyo abbaan firdii koo raawwatee gad na dhiisa.
[8] “Kunoo, ani gara ba'a-biiftuutti yoon adeeme, inni achi hin jiru, gara lixa-biiftuus yoon dhaqe, isa hin argadhu;
[9] gara bitaatii inni in hojjeta, ani garuu isa hin argu; inni gara mirgaatti gara in gala, ani garuu isa arguu hin danda'u.
