Tshiena Ebelu tshia kale kabavua batshifunde ne maleta majikuke to, bavua batshifunde anu ne maleta matshintamane. Mubadi uvua wakula tshiena Ebelu uvua mua kusakidila maleta majikuke bipepele.

Kadi Bible udi uleja ne: batendeledi ba Nzambi ba kale bavua bakula miakulu mishilangane bavua bashindumuna mêna a bantu mushindu mushilangane.
