pol wIj ra'ta'ghach mu'mey je yIn! Guard wIj teaching as the apple vo' lIj mIn.

Bind chaH Daq lIj fingers. Write chaH Daq the tablet vo' lIj tIq.

ja' valtaHghach, “ SoH 'oH wIj sister.” ja' yajtaHghach lIj relative,

vetlh chaH may pol SoH vo' the strange be', vo' the foreigner 'Iv flatters tlhej Daj mu'mey.

jIH leghta' among the nap ones. jIH discerned among the youths a Qup loD void vo' yajtaHghach,

passing vegh the street Sum Daj corner, ghaH mejta' the way Daq Daj tuq,

Daq the twilight, Daq the evening vo' the jaj, Daq the middle vo' the ram je Daq the HurghtaHghach.

yIlegh, pa' a be' met ghaH tlhej the attire vo' a naybe'wI', je tlhej crafty intent.

tlhej persuasive mu'mey, ghaH led ghaH astray. tlhej the flattering vo' Daj wuSDu', ghaH seduced ghaH.

ghaH tlha'ta' Daj SibI', as an Qa' goes Daq the HoHqu', as a fool stepping Daq a noose.
