     Զի՞ տեսանես զշիղ (var. զշիւղդ) յական եղբօր քոյ, և ՚ի քում ական զգերանդ ո՛չ նշմարես։

     Zi^? tesanes zšił (var. zšiwłd) yakan ełbōr kʻoy, ew ’i kʻum akan zgerand óčʻ nšmares.

     And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye.
