5 Ka hoo, morena a re ho bahlanka ba hae: “Ereng Hamane a tle kapele jwalo ka ha Esthere a kopile.” Yaba morena le Hamane ba ya moketeng oo Esthere a o entseng.
6 Nakong ya mokete wa veine, morena a re ho Esthere: “Keng eo o e batlang? Mpolelle mme ke tla o fa yona. Keng eo o e kopang? Le ha o ka kopa halofo ya borena, o tla bo fuwa.”+
