« ጌታዬ ሆይ ! ወደርሱ ከሚጠሩኝ ነገር ( ከዝሙት ) ይልቅ መታሰር ለእኔ የተወደደ ነው ፡ ፡ ተንኮላቸውንም ከእኔ ላይ ባትመልስልኝ ወደነሱ እዘነበላለሁ ፡ ፡ ከስህተተኞቹም እሆናለሁ » አለ ፡ ፡
He said : O my Lord ! Prison is more dear than that unto which they urge me , and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline unto them and become of the foolish .
