Kwikil muntu umwija Tatuku, ching kusu Mwan ndiy umwija, ni antu akwau atonday Mwan kumwijikesh Tatuku.” (Luka 10:22) Pa chirung chadingay pa divu mudi muntu, Yesu wamwijikesha Tatukwend mu mitapu yaad ya usey.

 ¹⁵ Chakusambish, malejan ma Yesu matukwashining kumwijik Tatukwend. Yesu wasadina mazu madinga mafanyidina kutupukun ku michim chakwel tumwijika Yehova. Chilakej, chakwel arumburil anch Nzamb uding ni riy ni uyakining antu akarumwininga michim yau ku yitil, Yesu wamwisikeja Yehova ni tatuku umwing ukata kulikishin; tatuku ukweta musangar uvud chisu chimumenay mwanend wadinga ntoboj uchirikin ku chikumbu, wakink mau, wamwibwikat nich kumusus.
