Ijivenu ngwenu, vaYuleya kana navatu vaze valumukile kupwa vaYuleya, vapwile vaka-kulinangula Mazu aKalunga vakwipangweji, kaha nawa vapwile hivatu vakumuyachi uze walihanyine kuli Yehova. Vatu kana vapwile natwima chikuma, kaha chikiko chavalingishile vatambuke jitunda jajisuku kwiza kuchiwanyino chize valingilenga mumwaka kamwe. Shikaho omu vatachikijile muchano wakuvuluka Yesu Kulishitu namulimo azata hakutesamo vyuma ajina Kalunga, valizangile jino kuzachila Kalunga hakulihana vavambapachise nakupwa vaka-kukavangiza Kulishitu.
