7 Ikuti naa wacinca akutalika kucita kabotu, sena tokakkomaninwi?* Pele kuti utacinci akucita kabotu, kozyiba kuti cibi cilikukkalilide amulyango, alimwi ciyanda kukweendelezya; pele sena uyoocizunda?”

24 Ikuti muntu uuyoojaya Kaini uyoojolelwa ziindi zili ciloba,+Nkokuti uuyoojaya Lameki uyoojolelwa ziindi zili 77.”
