Natukekesa nawa mwakunangwila michima yetu navivezu vyetu vipwenga lika vyakushishika kuWangana waKalunga.

Numba tuhu Yesu atachikijile muchano nakwitavila ngwenyi ulwilo waputukilile kuli vaYuleya, oloze kalwezele tumbaji twenyi vanehe vikokojolako.

Vaka-mapolitiki, navaka-kukundwiza vyamapolitiki, navaka-kwalumuna vyuma mukwitava vanesejeka chikuma kuwana mwakukumishila vikokojola. Vishinganyeka vyavo vyakusaka kukafwa vatu vinasoloka kupwa vyamwenemwene. Oloze vaka-Kulishitu vatachikiza ngwavo Wangana waKalunga kaha ukiko naukakumisa ukalu wavatu vosena nakuneha chiyulo chakwoloka. Twatela kufwelela kaha Yehova.
