“Alubo woonse mupati wabasikweenzya maato, amuntu woonse weenda mulwizi, abasikweenzya maato, abaabo boonse bapona akaambo kalwizi, bakayimikila kule-kule 18 mpawo bakoompolola kabalangide busi bwakupya kwakwe kabuuntumuka kuzwa aalinguwe mpawo bakati: ‘Mpuuli na muunzi wiinda muunzi ooyu mupati?’ 19 Bakalitutila lusuko mumitwe alubo bakoompolola kabalikulila akoomoka, mpawo bakati: ‘Chabija, chabija kaka, kumuunzi mupati, oomo bantu boonse bakali aamaato mulwizi mubakanota akaambo kabunoti bwakwe, nkaambo mu-awa iimwi wanyonyoonwa!’
