“Dhi ichok jo-Yahudi duto man Susa, mondo utwe chiemo kulemona. Kik uchiem kata metho kuom ndalo adek otieno gi odiechiengʼ. An gi nyiri matiyona bende wabiro tweyo chiemo kendo metho mana kaka un. Ka usetimo kamano, to abiro dhi ir ruoth, kata obedo ni chik ok oyie kamano. Ka ochuno ni nyaka atho, to anatho.”
