Hagidhĕrown

Hagidhĕrown bānāh ’eth qenow başĕriyph hā‘ăghālowth. Yowm ’εħādh šĕney hāhowriym ‘āphuw haħuwşāh kĕdhey limĕşow’ māzown lĕgowzāleyhεm wặ‘āzĕbhuw ’eth haqĕţanţaniym lĕghamrey lĕbhadh.

Mĕ’uwħār yowther šābh hā’ābh gidhĕrown habaythāh.

“Mah hithraħaš kā’n?” šā’al, “Miy hizziyq lākhεm, yĕlādhiym? ’Atεm kol kakh niphħidhiym!”

“How, ’Abā!” ‘ānuw, “Miphlεşεth gĕdhowlāh bā’āh zεh ‘atāh. Hi’ nir’ātāh koh maphĕħiydhāh wĕnowrā’iyth! Hi’ hibiyţāh lĕthowkh haqen šεllānuw bā‘eynayiym hagĕdhowlowth šεlāh. Lākhen ’ānuw koh muwphħiliym!”

“Ăhāh!” āmar ’Abā Gidhĕrown, “Lĕ’ān hi’ pantāh?”

“Uwbhĕkhen”, ’āmĕruw hagowzāliym, “hi’ pantāh lĕkhiwuwn hazzεh.”

“Himtiynuw kā’n!” āmar ’Abā Gidhĕrown, “’Ăniy ăradeph ’aħareyāh. ’Al dā’agāh, yĕlādhiym! ’Ăniy ’εtphows ’owthāh.” Wĕ’āz huw’ hith‘owpheph ’aħareyāh.

Ka’ăšεr haghiyaħ me‘ebhεr lapiynnāh, rā’āh šām ’ăryeh powsa‘.

’Ăbhāl hagidhĕrown ’eynow paħadh. Huw’ nāħath ‘al gabhow šεl hā’ăryeh wĕgā‘ar bow. “Mah sibāh lĕkhā lābhow’ lĕbaythiy,” huw’ şā’aq, “wĕhiphħiydh ’eth yaldhey?!”

Hā’ăryeh mith‘alam mimenuw uwmimšiykh liş‘owdh.

Himšiykh hagibowr haqāţān wĕnāzaph bow bĕ‘azzuwth rabāh yowther. “’Eyn lĕkhā zĕkhuwth lihĕyowth šām, ’ăniy ’owmer lĕkhā! Wā’im tašowbh,” huw’ ’āmar, “nuw, atāh āz tir’εh! ’Ăniy bε’̣εmεth ’eyneniy rowşεh la‘āśowth ’eth zεh,” huw’ ’āmar uwbhĕsowph heriym aħath miragĕlayow haqĕţānowth, “hayiytiy šowbher ’eth gabhĕkhā bĕragĕliy bin-rεga‘!”

Miyyādh lĕ’aħar mikhen huw’ šābh lĕqenow.

“Hinneh, yĕlādhiym,” huw’ ’āmar, “liymmādĕtiy owthow lεqaħ. Huw’ lĕ‘owlām lo’ yišowbh.”
