B'had min yāwmin kad āwar weţ Al bēţ’ anyā wahzeţ tammān mārtā w’maryam Kad bākyān way. Bākyān way gēr bekyā h'nīgā Marīrāyīţ ak sīrēnās dawgāw yammē W’nahrāwāţā. Nahmān way gēr badmūţ yāwnā Al parūgē wak hāw gawrā daśqil mennē Bar saybuţē. |
On a certain day, when I was passing Through Bethany, I saw Martha and Mary weeping. They were weeping bitterly A mournful lamentation, Like sirens in the seas and rivers. For they were moaning like a dove over its young ones And like that man from whom the son Of his old age was taken away. |
