Myoyo jemanjajo ŵakopweche m’nyumba ni kutilila pasa ali makonope soni ali awulele. 17 Yeleyi yamanyiche kwa ŵandu wosope, Ayuda ni Agiliki ŵakutama ku Efeso. Nambosoni ŵandu wosope wakamwile woga, mwamti lina lya Ambuje Yesu lyapitilisye kuchimbichika. 18 Soni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵaŵele ŵakulupilila ŵayikaga ni kusalaga pameso pa ŵandu yaŵatendaga. 19 Sonitu ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵatendaga yamasenga ŵayiche ni mabuku gawo gosope ni kugajocha moto jwalijose ali mkulola.
