12 Inni afarsaa ittiin midhaan qulleessu of harkaa qaba; qamadii isaa gombisaatti naqata; oobdii isaa ni qulqulleessa; habaqii garuu ibidda hin dhaamneen guba.”
Cakupupulushila cilikendi mu makasa akendi, kwambeti atatike kupupulusha. Nakabike maila apupulushiwa cena mu lyanga, nomba bungu nakabutente pamulilo utapu.”
