SKVR textEnglish
Koin sanat.
1Koisko juoksi tietä myöden.Koisko ran along the road.
2Jeesus kysyi koiskoselta:Jesus asked Koisko:
3"Mihinkäs, koiskonen, menet"?"Where, little Koisko, are you going?"
4"Tänne käyn luuta luistamahan,"I come here to scrape bones,
5Lihaa mädäntämähän".To rot flesh."
6Jeesus vastas koiskoselle:Jesus replied to Koisko:
7"Älkäämme niin tehkö."Let us not do so.
8Minä tungen sun tulehen,I will thrust you into fire,
9Vaivauksen valkiahan,Into the blaze of torment,
10Sull' on suuri tuska tulessa,You will have great pain in the fire,
11Vaiva suuri valkiassa."Great suffering in the flame."
