Ikaduha, halungan mo ang iya ngalan Nga indi gid madagtaan; Habunan kag kusuan Agud nga sa iya dughan magalikan.
Ang ika-apat nga ikaw dapat Mangin huwaran nga nanay kag tatay, Kay ang imo bana masunsun nga wala sa balay.
pasensya Bisan sila may alak, baraha, ukon kerida Kon mawasak ang inyo balay panimalay, Ikaw ang mapigaw nga panday Sa tion sang binasulay.
