1 Di mennah funn Israel henn kshvoahra katt an Mizpa un henn ksawt, “Nett aynah funn uns zayld sei dochtah alawva fa en mann funn Benjamin heiyahra.”

2 Di leit sinn no an Beth-El ganga un henn sich fannich Gott kokt biss ohvets. Datt henn si laut keild.

20 No henn si ksawt zu di mennah funn Benjamin, “Gaynd un fashteklet eich in di vei-goahra.

25 In selli dawwa voah kenn kaynich in Israel. Alli-ebbah hott gedu vass recht voah in sei aykni awwa.
