³²And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.

³² A na yaasay sanni ize zambar hinza te, a dooney mo zambar fo nda igu no.

³³And he spoke of the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of cattle, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

³³ A na tuuri-nyaŋey sanni te, za Liban ra sedre* gaa kal a to hissop* gaa kaŋ ga zay cinari gaa. A na almaney da curey mo sanni te, da harey kaŋ gundey ga tuku laabu gaa d'i ga dira, da hamisey.
