Tingi waxuu la noolaa ayaydiis hooyo.
Tingi lived with his grandmother.
Tingi aliishi na bibi yake.
Waxuu lo’da la raaci jiray ayada.
He used to look after the cows with her.
Alizoea kuchunga ng’ombe na bibi yake.
Maalin ayaa waxaa yimid askartii.
One day the soldiers came.
Siku moja wanajeshi walikuja.
Tingi iyo ayaydiis way carareen waa ayna dhuunteen.
Tingi and his grandmother ran away and hid.
Tingi na bibi yake walikimbia na kujificha.
Waxay isku qariyeen duurka ilaa iyo habeenkii.
They hid in the bush until night.
Walijificha kichakani hadi usiku.
Kadib askartii ayaa dib ugu soo labteen.
Then the soldiers came back.
Wanajeshi walirudi tena.
Ayaydii waxa ay Tingi ku qarisay caleemaha hoostooda.
Grandmother hid Tingi under the leaves.
Bibi alimficha Tingi chini ya majani.
Mid ka mid ah askartii ayaa lugtiisa midig saaray Tingi, laakiin wuu iska aamusnaa.
One of the soldiers put his foot right on him, but he kept quiet.
Mwanajeshi mmoja alimkanyaga, lakini akanyamaza kimya.
Markii ay nabad noqdeen, Tingi iyo ayaydiis hooyo banaanka ayey usoo baxeen.
When it was safe, Tingi and his grandmother came out.
Wanajeshi walipoondoka Tingi na bibi yake wakajitokeza.
Waxa ay u soo guurguurteen guriga si aad u shanqar yar.
They crept home very quietly.
Wakajikongoja kimya kimya kurudi nyumbani.
