Omo tyoovola ovifo viatalala.

Kaitili omutunga, oko umwe iviuka.

Eonga lilaima, ombu onohevo haityo ñgoo.
25 Okwiiva onkhwino, ngwe ikoma.
Omuniko wovilwa yuupepulila kokule,
Iiva ononkhwo mbononkhalamutwe mbovita, nonkhwo yovilwa.+
26 Okuti olukoi lunthanana tupu ekungunyiko ove una-lio,
Okuti otyo lutandavekela omavava alo aluviuku kombwelo?
27 Ine ove utuma onkhombe inthanane meulu,+
Aitungu otyiyu tyayo peulu?+
28 Ove wiilaleka konkhanda?
Ove wiilaleka mekolo* omu ikala, omu iholama?
30 Omailona ayo, anwa ohonde.
Apa pena etyi tyankhia, nayo opo ivahiwa.”+
