Ngunalembe kuli yenu mwalwa ni ufuku hakutwala kuli tuvumbi jenu A-Izalele, ngunanunyingikisa shili yize A-Izalele alinga kuli yenu. Yami ni akwa-zuwo lia tata, twavulumuna. 7 Kwamba pundu, twasolola uhulia ha kuhona kukaula shimbi, yiyulo ni upatwilo uze nwahanyine kuli kavumbi kenu Mose.

Lisesa, nguwahise kama ha tangwa lia musono, chikwo nawa, ngukwase kama hanga mwanangana anguvwile keke.”
