Naga akulingalinga kumsosasosa, chachimpata, pakuŵa jwalakwejo nditu, nganaŵa kwakutalikangana ni jwalijose jwa m’weji. 28 Pakuŵa ligongo lya jwalakwejo tukwete umi, tukusajenda soni tupali. Yeleyi yili yakulandana ni yakusaŵecheta ŵandakatulo ŵane pasikati penu kuti, ‘Wosopewe tuli ŵanache ŵakwe.’
29 “Sambano pakuŵa tuli ŵanache ŵa Mlungu, tukaganisyaga kuti Mlungujo ali mpela golide, silifa, kapena liganga. Jwalakwejotu nganaŵa mpela chindu chakusepa soni chakupanganyidwa ni ŵandu. 30 Nditu, pandaŵi jele ŵandu nganamanyililaga yeleyi, Mlungu ŵalechelele. Nambo apano akulalichila kwa ŵandu wosope kulikose kuti agalawuche mtima. 31 Ligongo jwalakwe aŵisile lisiku lyele chachilamula mwachilungamo ŵandu wosope ŵakutama pachilambo chapasi kupitila mwa mundu jwele jwalakwejo amsagwile. Asimichisye yeleyi kwa ŵandu wosope mwakumjimusya mundu jweleju ku chiwa.”
