Fa ny sampy niteny zava-poana, Ary ny mpanao fankatovana nahita lainga Ka nilaza nofy lainga, Foana ny nampiononany; Koa izany no naniavany toy ny ondry Ory izy, satria tsy misy mpiandry.
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
