8 Apeho tyina ndyipopia, ndyipopila peulu, ndyikalavandya,

Ondaka ya Siovaa imphopisisa omapita, inkhwelesisa onthiki aiho.+
Mahi ondaka yove yalinga ngotupia twatokota monthulo yange, twaanyena momankhipa ange;

“Ketyitolei etyi eli nokulinga! Tuketyitolei!”
Aveho vampheleyila ombembwa veli nokutala tyina ndyitoka, otyo vati:+
“Hamwe malingi etyi tyapenga tyowova,
Onthwe atumuvili, atumulingi etyi etulinga.”
11 Mahi Siovaa wali umwe naame uti omukwa-vita watyo wokutilisa owoma.+
Otyo vokunthyukaisa mavatokela, avehembili.+

Olukundo lwavo kalupwa-apwa vali, nawike melulimbwa.+
12 Mahi ove Siovaa womambamba ovita, utala umwe nawa ondingaviwa;
13 Imbilei Siovaa! Hilivikei Siovaa!

17 Oityi ahandyipaelelele meimo lya mee,
Mwene ñgeno eimo liae lialinga eendo liange,

18 Natundila-tyi-ale meimo

Ononthiki mbomwenyo wange ambuvitukila molukundo?+
