3 Lelo ishiba ukuti mu nshiku sha kulekelesha+ mukesaba inshita ishayafya nga nshi.
2 Pantu abantu bakaba abaitemwa, abatemwa indalama, aba mataki, aba matutumuko, abapontela ifya mushilo, abashumfwila abafyashi babo, abashitasha, abashaba ne cishinka,
3 abashatemwa abantu, abashifwaya ifipangano, aba lwambo, abashailama, abankalwe, abashatemwa ubusuma,
4 abafutuka abanabo, bamunshebwa, aba cilumba, abatemwa ukwangala ukucila ukutemwa Lesa,
5 abamoneka kwati ni bakapepa lelo abakaana amaka ya bukapepa;+ abantu ba musango uyu ulebataluka.
6 Muli aba e mufuma abaya mu mayanda mu bucenjeshi no kusenda abanakashi abanaka, abafinininwa ku membu kwati ni bankole, abanakashi abatungululwa ne fya lunkumbwa ifyalekanalekana,
