20 Oloni omwo kuwatabele majwi ange aje akalishulisilila ha simbu ibanangula, upwa kabebebe, co wonowa kwendeka kweta noho habikalingiwila ebi byuma.”

32 Ou akapwa wakama, co bakamusana ngwabo Muna Uje Wahakamwa Manene. Yehova Njambi akamwana litanda lya ishe Devidi,
33 co akapwa Mwene ku njibo ya Jakobu ku myaka yoshe, co Bumwene bwendi kubukahu.”
34 Maliya wehwile kangelo ngwendi: “Eci casa kulingiwa bati, mwafwa yange kanda njililale laja na munalume?”
