_ My brothers caught bears.

_ mišgûa laǯmilad dešdûar adə̄rmex.

They had two bears.

ieru dešdû xeq̇ēdax.

They were brave.

lamarg lasx.

All people spoke about their hunting and that, and my younger brother had a bear

kûeq̇ana eǯyāre nadirobas i eǯis āmbudx i ešxu dešdû mišgûa xoxra ǯəmils xeq̇ēda i

and he broke Jokia` s motorcycle and he got angry; in short, he did not let him go to us and did not speak to him.

č'otq̇učure ales moṭociḳleṭ, ǯoḳis, mišgûa ǯumild i ž'enxirnānd'āle, dem ixni ser gušgûeyte, dem xagərgali.

Janiko ran after Jokia and told him:

k'āxč̣ema, moašte er emčed ǯoḳi, k'āxč̣ema ǯaniḳo i:

``Jokia, put up with me, put up, and I will present you a good bear, look here``.

"ǯoḳi čûemsq̇en, čûemsq̇en i xoča dešdûs ǯaščukûri amečuá".

Jokia answered: ``You have already presented me a bear (he meant me) and I have had enough``,

ales xōkûa, ǯoḳis, ere "dešdû lok yari masačkûared, eǯi ka lok mār mi", _ mišgûāži xōkûa,

- and ``I do not need any more and go away``.

_ i "ser mā lok maḳu dešdû i ka lok ader amxēnka".

And then, every man used to tell this story; all, all were laughing,

ales ser, ečānġo māre mag ales āmbəda, či, mag, ales xačōnda,

over Jokia`s joke in which he called me ``a bear``.

ere "imži lok xōkûa ǯoḳis mišgûāži dešdû lok".

They used to joke this way.

amži imasxarāldax.

Such a good life we had

amži xoča lirde gûāda

God, give such a nice life to my Zviadi and his children even further as well as

i xoča lirde amanġōnašdu xoq̇ra ġērbats mišgûa zûiadi i miča bopšilāreš

to his wife, my Manana, to her children and husband; really, I am happy owing to them

i meuġleš, mišgûa mananāšd, miča bopšilārešd, meuġlešd, edo mi alyār maxyadx

and God make you happyàand I will never mind whatever happens to me,

i ləxīdad ġērbet ǯardûinex i may emlaḳānda,

All I need is your and your children's welfare!

eǯis desyam xûāršûni, oġond xočāmd meq̇ēded sgay i mišgûi bōpšar mag!
