9:2  Hoch Dochmey ghoS alike Daq Hoch. pa' ghaH wa' event Daq the QaQtaHghach je Daq the mIgh; Daq the QaQ, Daq the Say, Daq the Say'Ha', Daq ghaH 'Iv nobmey, je Daq ghaH 'Iv ta'be' sacrifice. As ghaH the QaQ, vaj ghaH the yemwI'; ghaH 'Iv takes an oath, as ghaH 'Iv fears an oath.

9:16  vaj ja'ta' jIH, valtaHghach ghaH better than HoS. Nevertheless the mIpHa' man's valtaHghach ghaH muSqu', je Daj mu'mey 'oH ghobe' Qoyta'.

9:17  The mu'mey vo' the val Qoyta' Daq quiet 'oH better than the SaQ vo' ghaH 'Iv rules among fools.

9:18  valtaHghach ghaH better than weapons vo' veS; 'ach wa' yemwI' destroys 'ar QaQ.
