« ስምንትን ዓመታት ልታገለግለኝ እኔ ከእነዚህ ሁለት ሴቶቸ ልጆቼ አንዲቱን ላጋባህ እሻለሁ ፡ ፡ ዐስርን ብትሞላም ከአንተ ነው ፡ ፡ ባንተ ላይ ማስቸገርንም አልሻም ፡ ፡ አላህ የሻ እንደ ኾነ ከመልካሞቹ ሰዎች ኾኜ ታገኘኛለህ » አለው ፡ ፡
He ( Shu 'ayb ) said to ( Moses ) , " I want to give one of my daughters to you in marriage on the condition that you will work for me for eight years , but you may continue for two more years only out of your own accord . I do not want it to become a burden for you .
