21 Nunku bidi bikengela ne: ku bantu balume bavua bende netu dîba dionso divua Mukalenge Yezu mukumbaje midimu yende* munkatshi muetu,
22 kutuadijila ku dîba divuabu bamubatize kudi Yone+ too ne ku dituku divuaye mumbushibue kutudi,+ umue wa ku bantu aba alue ntemu wa dibishibua diende ku lufu pamue netu.”+
