Izwi itaanzhi ndindakatelela ka lyaamba kuli ume ukoya impeta, liaamba ati, "Kweza kono, alimwi ndakutondezha ushikachitika shaita buyo sheshishintu." ²Ndilyona ndakaba mu Moza, alimwi ndakabona chuuna cha bwami chibikilwe mwizeulu, umwi ulishite wo. ³Wezo wakushite wo kalibonya ukoya ibwe lyebeshi lya Jasipa alimwi ulya kaneli. Kakuli Filichoogo uzhingulukile a chuuna cha bwami. U filichoongokalibonya ukoya ibwe lyebeshi lya emalodi.⁴Mumabali a chuuna cha bwami, kakuli shuuna shimwi shilimakumi obile u shitwesha shone, bakushite a shuuna shesho mba sololi baamine shikobelo shituba, u mishini ya golide a mitwi yabo. ⁵Kuvwa ku chuuna cha bwami kwakavwa lulabo, kudililima, ukwa mvula. Ma lambe ali chiloba kazakila kumbele lya chuuna cha bwami, ma lambe keli myoza ya Leza ili chiloba.⁶Kumbele kwa chuuna cha bwami kakuli mulonga wa magilazi. Akati kati lya chuuna cha bwami alimwi umumbali kakuli shintu shipona, shizwile menso kumbele u kunshi.⁷Chintu checho chipona chitaanzhi kachilibonya ukoya shuumbwa, chabili ukoya moombe, chatatu kachikwete bushu ukoya bwa muntu, u chane kachili ukoya shikwaze u uluka. ⁸Shintu shone shipona shoonse kashikwete mababa chimwi u chimwi ali chisambomwe azwile menso ezeulu u munshi munshi.

¹Ngoona ndakabona mwitashi lya chilyo lya wezo wakushite a chuuna cha bwami ipepa ikando lilembelwe ezeulu anshi, lilamatikilwe u shilamatizho shili chiloba. ²Ndakabona mungelo ulakambauka izwi ikando ulaamba, "Nguni welele kuyalula uku kusha shilamatizho shepepa?"³Kwiina kwizeulu naba ano anshi nikuba kunshi ukonzha kuyalula naba kubala ipepa. ⁴Ndakalila chinichini nkaambo kwakabula wakulozha kuyalula naba kulibala. ⁵Pele umwi wabasololi wakenta ati, "Utalila. Langa! Shuumbwa wa mushobo wa ba Juda, muzanda wa Davida, wazunda. Walo ulakonzha kuliyalula ipepa utulamatizho twalyo."⁶Ndakabona mwana mbelele ulizhimine akati kati lya chuuna cha bwami alimwi awo ashintu shone shipona aakati lya basololi. Wakalibonya ukoya muyaye. Kakwete meya u meno ali chiloba alo azo nji Myoza ya Leza ituminwe mu luundu loonse. ⁷Wakaya walibweza ipepa kuvwa mwitashi lya chilyo lya wezo wakushite a chuuna cha bwami.⁸Nakalibweza ipepa, shintu shone shipona u basololi bali makumi obile intwesho shone bakawila kumbele lya mwana mbelele. Umwi uumwi kakwete kalumbu u mutiba uzwile tununkilizho, yalo yezho njimipailo ya bantu basalala ba Leza.⁹Bakaimba lwiimbo lupiya: "Uwe ulyelele kulibweza ipepa alimwi ukutukusha tulamatizho. Ukuti wakayayiwa, alimwi ku bulowa bwako wakamulila Leza bantu kuvwa ku mishobo, milaka, bantu, alimwi u muchishi. ¹⁰Wakapa bapaizhi u bantu basebezela Leza, alimwi balakaba bendelezhi ba chishi choonse."¹¹Ngoona ndakatelela mazwi a bangelo bakuzhingulukile chuuna cha bwami u basololi u shintu shipona. Mweelwe wabo koshika ku shuulu shuulu shili ikumi u shuulu shuulu. ¹²Bakamba mwizwi ikando ati, "Uwelele mwana mbelele, wezo wayayiwa, kwaamba atambule insana, lubono,busongo, bulemu, alimwi, ukutembaulwa."¹³Ndakatelela choonse chilenge chakuli kwizeulu aanshi alimwi u kunshi u mu lwatele-shoonse shili mo-shilaamba, "U kuli wezo ukala achuuna cha bwami alimwi uku mwanaa mbelele kube kutembaulwa, bulemu, insana, u bwendelezhi lyoonse u lyoonse." ¹⁴Shintu shone shipona shakaamba, Ameni!" u basololi bakawa anshi ukukomba.

¹Ndakalanga chiindi mwana mbelele nakayalula kanamatizho kamwi, alimwi ndakatelela womwi akati ka shintu shipona chilaamba mwizwi likozhanya u muzuzumo wa mvula ati, "Kweza!" ²Ndakalanga kakuli i ibbiza lituba. Wakulyeenzha kakwete mutiba, amane wakapewa u mushini. Wakaba shikuzunda kwaamba azunde.³Mwanambelele nakayalula kanamatizho kabili, ndakatelela chntu chipona chabili chilaamba, "Kweza!" ⁴Kumane kwakeza ibbiza limwi lisubila. Kuli wezo wakulyeenzha wakapewa insana shakukwisha luumuno ano anshi, kwaamba bantu bali ano anshi bayaane Wezu wakweenzha kapelwe icheba ikando.⁵Chiindi mwanambelele nakayalula kanamatizho ka tatu, ndakatelella chintu chipona cha tatu chilaamba, "Kweza!" ndakabona ibbiza lishiya amane wakulyeenzha kakwete shipimyo mwi tash lyakwe. ⁶Ndakatelela lili ukoya izwi a shintu shipona shone lyaamba ati, "Kalwi ka maila kalasambalwa ipeni lyomwi, pele mutakwati ku mungwimba uku waini."⁷Chiindi mungelo nakayalula kanamatizho kane, ndakatelela izwi lya chintu chipona chane lilaamba ati, "Kweza!" ⁸Ndakabona i bbiza ivumba. Wakulyeenzha katewa ati Lufwu, alimwi u busena bwa bafwu kabumuchilile. Bakapewa mweelwe umwi wabantu ba mu luundu kwaamba bayayiwe kusebezha icheba, inzala alimwi u bulwazhi, u banyama bamusokwe.⁹Chiindi mwanambelele nakayalula kanamatizho ka sanu, kunshi ku chipaililo ndakabona myoza yababo bakayayiwa nkaambo ka izwi lya Leza u bumboni mbubakukwete. ¹⁰Bakalila iizwi ikando ati, "Nkulaale buti, Mwendelezhi wa shintu shoonse, usalala alimwi u luleme kushikila lili nukabeteka babo bapona mu luundu alimwi nkushikila lili nukaapa chisubulo babo bakatuyaya?" ¹¹Kumane uumwi uumwi wabo wakapewa mulembo utuba, ngoona bakashimwinwa ati, balindile kushikila mweelwe wa benzhinokwabo balangilwa kuyayiwa ukoya mbubakayayiwa ukwane.¹²Nakayalula bulembe bwa chiloba, ndakebela kwakaba kuzungana kwa nshi.

¹Kuvwa awo ndakabona bangelo bone balizhimine mu nja shone shachishi, balikwatilile chinichini myoza yone kwaamba kutabi nikuunga muuwo anshi, a lwatele nikuba ku masamu. ²Ndakabona mungelo umwi ulavwila kwiwe, wakukwete chikanto cha Leza Upona. Wakapozomoka izwi ikando ku bangelo bone bakupelwe insana shakupenzha luundu u lwatele: ³"Mutalupenzha Luundu, u Lwatele, naaba masamu kushikila tubike chikanto ankumu shabo ba sebezhi ba Leza wesu.''⁴Ndakatelela mweelwe wa bantu babo bakabikwa shikanto: Shuulu shili mwaanda u makumi one ushitwesha shone, balo bakabikwa shikanto kuvwa ku mishobo yoonse ya bana Izilayeli: ⁵Shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile kuvwa ku mushobo wa Juda bakabikwa shikanto, shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Lubeni, shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Gadi, ⁶shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Asha, shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Nafutali, shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Manase,⁷shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile kuvwa ku mushobo wa Simiyoni, shuuulu ikmi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Levi, shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Isaka, ⁸shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile kuvwa ku mushobo wa Zebuluni, shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile ku mushobo wa Josefa, alimwi u shuulu ikumi u shuulu shobile kuvwa ku mushobo wa Benjamini bakabikwa shikanto.⁹Nishakamna shintu sheshi ndakalanga, kakuli makamu makamu a bantu alo aina muntu ukonzha kubala - kuvwa ku shishi shoonse, mishobo, bantu, alimwi u milaka balizhimine kumbele ya chuuna cha bwami alimwi kumbele lya Mwana mbelele. Kabasamine shikobelo shituba alimwi kabakwete malala mu matashi abo, ¹⁰alimwi kabalila chakupozomoka ati: "Lufutuko lulavwila kwa Leza wesu, walo u shite a chuuna cha bwami, alimwi uku Mwana mbelele!''¹¹Boonse bangelo kabazhimine balizhingulukile ku chuuna cha bwami u bakando bakando u shintu shipona shone, bakafukamakumbelelya chuuna cha bwami. Bakamukomba Leza, ¹²balaamba ati, "Ameni! Kutembaulwa, bulemu, busongo kulumbwa kulemekwa insana shibe kwa Leza wesu shikwense u shikwense!

¹Nakayalula bulembe bwa chiloba, kwakaba kuliinza kwizeulu kumana kwa chisela che woola lyomwi. ²Ngoona ndakabona bangelo bali chiloba bazhima kumbele lya Leza alimwi bakapewa impeta boonse.³Kwakeza mungelo umwi wakukwete mutiba wakukwete tununkilizho, kazhimine ku chipaililo cha tununkilizho. Wakapewa tununkilizho tunji kwaamba akonzhe kukombela antoomwi mipailo ya bantu ba Leza boonse a chipaililo cha tununkilizho cha golide.kumbela lya chuuna cha bwami. ⁴Bushi bwa tununkilizho-antoomwi u mipailo ya bantu ba Leza basalala - shakaya kubushu bwa Leza kuvwa ku matashi a mungelo. ⁵Mungelo wakabweza mutiba wa Tununkilizho wozuzha mulilo kuvwa ku chipaililo. Ngoona wakasowela anshi ano, ngoona kwakaba mizuzumo indabo shinji alimwi ukuzhangama kwanshi.⁶Bangelo boonse bakukwete impeta shili chiloba bakalibambila kwamba bashilizhe impeta. ⁷Mungelo mutaanzhi wakalizha impeta yakwe, kwakawa chivula mabwe u mulilo usangene u bulowa. Shakasowelwa anshi chakuti mweelwe wa shintu shili mo shakapiya, mweelwe mukando wa masamu akapiya abo bwizu buteke bwakapiya,⁸Mungelo wabili wakalizha impeta yakwe, inzho chimwi chili ukoya lupili lukando luzaka mulilo chakasowelwa mu Lwatele. Chipanzha chimwi cha Lwatele bwakaba bulowa, ⁹mweelwe umwi wa shintu shipona mu lwatele shakafwa, alimwi u mweelwe wa mato amwi akazonauka.¹⁰Mungelo wa tatu wakalizha impeta yakwe, kumane intongwezhi inkando yakawa kuvwa kwizeulu ilamweka ukoya muzenge mu shipanzha shimwi sha milonga u tuzhiba twa meenzhi. ¹¹Intongwezhi ilatewa ati Kulula. Meenzhi amwi akalula, alimwi u bantu banji bakafwa nkaambo ka meenzhi akalula.¹²Mungelo wane wakalizha impeta yakwe, chipanzha chimwi che zuba chakazhima, kubikilizha u cha mwezhi iintongwe. Shipanzha sheshi shaka shiya; chiindi chimwi muunza ucha mashiku chakabula mumuni.¹³Ndakalanga, ndakatelela shikwaze wakuulukila mwizeulu uloompolola iizwi ikando ati, "Mawe, mawe, mawe, ukuli babo bakala ano anshi, nkaambo ka mpeta shichisheele kulizhiwa u bangelo botatwe."

Chapter 9

¹Ngoona mungelo wa sanu wakalizha impeta yakwe. Ndakabona intongwezhi kuvwa kwizeulu yalo yakawila anshi. Intongwezhi yakapewa maki a kwilambwe liteeli. ²Wakaliyalula ilambwe liteeli, inzho bushi bwakauluka ukoya bushi buvwa kwilambwe ikando. Izuba u moza wakashiya mbi nkaambo ka bushi buvwa kwi lambwe.³Kuvwa mubushi kwakawa impaso anshi inzho shakapewa insana ukoya tubanze twa anshi. ⁴Shakalaililwa kwaamba shitazonauni bwizu, tusamu u masamu azo ashuukie ano anshi, chita buyo babo bantu batakwete chaando cha Leza ankumu.⁵Shiina nishakavumizhiwa kubayaya babo bantu, chita buyo kubapenzha kwa myezhi yosanwe. Kuchiswa kwabo kulakuli ukoya bulovu muntu mbwatelela kuti walumwa kabanze. ⁶Ku mazuba azo bantu balakakapula lufu pele tabakaluyani. Balakazandisha kufwa, pele lufu lulakabatantumuka.⁷Impaso shakulibponya ukoya imbizhi shiya ku nkondo. Ku mitwi kakuli ukoya mishini ya golide, alimwi mashu kali ukoya a bantu. ⁸Kashikwete masusu ukoya a bakaintu, alimwi meno kaali ukoya a shuumbwa. ⁹Kashikwete shikwabilizho shaachamba ukoya sha lubulo, alimwi kusaba kwa mababa kuli ukoya kulila kwa shikochi shinji shinji sha mbizhi shilukanka mu lumamba.¹⁰Kashikwete michila ikwete imbola ukoya sha tubanze; Michila kekwete insana shakuchisa bantu kwa myezhi yosanwe. ¹¹Kashikwete ukoya mwami ali nshisho mungelo wa kwilambwe liteeli. Izhina lyakwe mu chi Hebulu kali Abadoni, alimwi mu chi Giliki kakwete izhina lya Apolyoni. ¹²Ipenzhi itaanzhi lyaita. Bona! Chaita chechi, kulalangilwa kuchitika shintu shobile¹³Mungelo wa chiloba wakafwiba impeta yakwe, ndakatelela izwi livwila ku chipalilo cha golide chili ku bushu bwa Leza, ¹⁴lilambila mungelo wa Yufuletisi.'' ¹⁵Bangelo bone bakubambililwe kwi woola lelyo, mubuzuba bobo, mu mwezhi wezo alimwi mwaka wezo bakangululwa mwalka wezo kwaamba bayaye mweelwe mukando wa bantu.¹⁶Mweelwe wa bashikalumamba koshika ku myaanda yobile ya shuulu shuulu. Ndakootelela mweelwe wabo. ¹⁷Imbubo bobo mbundakabona imbizhi mu chiloto ubabo bakweenzha: ntbo shabo kashisubila ukoya mulilo, alimwi kashili ukoya chilambo cha chikaambwe alimwimukoya mabwe a Salufa. Mitwi ya mbizhi keli ukoya mitwi ya bashuumbwa, alimwi ku milomoyabo kakuvwa mulilo, bushi alimwi u salufa.¹⁸Bunji bwa bantu bakafwa u kaambo ka mapenzhi aza otatwe: mulilo, bushi, alimwi u salufa wakavwa ku milomo. ¹⁹Ukuti insana sha Mbizhi kashili mu milomo yanshisho u kumichila - nkaambo michila keeli ukoya bazoka, bakwete mitwi ipa shilonda ku bantu.²⁰Bantu bamwi, babo batakayaiwa ku miika, baina nibakasanduka kuvwa ku milimo ya matashi abo, nikuba kuleka kukomba ma daimona u baleza ba golide, siliva, bulonzi, mabwe, alimwi u masamu - shintu shitakonzha kubona, kutelela, naaba kweenda. ²¹Nikuba kusanduka kuvwa ku buyazhi, bulozhi, bumambe naba buteu.

¹Ngoona ndakabona mungelo umwi shinsana ulaseluka kuvwa kwizeulu. Kasamine ikumbi, alimwi kakuli filichoongo ezeulu lya mutwi wakwe. Bushu bwakwe kabuli ukoya izuba awo matende akwe kaali ukoya shaanda sha mulilo. ²Kakwete kabuka kashoonto kakuyalulilwe mu matashi akwe. Wakabika itende lyakwe lya chilyo mu lwatele ulya chimonsho kalili a muuma.³Ngoona wakapozomoka iizwi ikando ukoya kuhuluma kwa shuumbwa. Chiindi nakapozomoka mizuzumo ili chiloba ya kaamba mu mazwi. ⁴Mizuzumo ili chiloba niyakaamba, ndakakuzanda kutalika kulemba, Pele ndakatelela izwi kuvwa kwizeulu lilaamba ati, "Ayalile mazwi avwa ku mizuzmo ili chiloba. Utabi nulemba."⁵Inzho mungelo ngundakabona ulizhimine a lwatele a muuma wakatambika itashi lyakwe lya chilyo kwizeulu. ⁶Wakalumbila mwizhina lya wezo upona lyoonse u lyoonse, walo wakalenga izeulu u shoonse shili mo, inshi u shoonse shiyanika mo, lwatele u shoonse shili mo. Ngoona mungelo wakaamba ati, "Kuchiina linji kumuka. ⁷Pele buzuba bobo mungelo wa chiloba nakaazanda kulizha impeta yakwe, inzho maseseke a Leza alakamaninina, mbubona mbwaka kambauka mazwi mabotu ku basebezhi bakwe ba shinshimi."⁸Izwi ndindakatelela kuvwa kwizeulu lyakanshimwina alimwi ati: "Koya, bweza ibuka lili mwitashi lya mungelo uzhimine mu lwatele a muuma." ⁹Ngoona ndakaya ku mungelo kumwambila ati ampe kabuka kashoonto. Wakanshimwina ati, "Kabweze kabuka wamana ukalye. Pele kalakutela kuchisa mwifu, pele mukanwa kulalweela ukoya buchi."¹⁰Ndaakabweza kabuka kuvwa ku mungelo ngoona ndakalya. Mukanwa lyangu kakalweela ukoya buchi, pele mane kulya mwifu mwangu mwakachisa. ¹¹Ngoona umwi wakaamba kwangu ati, "Uwe ulyelele kushinshima alimwi ku makani a mashi mishobo, alimwi u bami babantu."

Chapter 11

¹Ndakapewa lubu kwaamba lube ukoya cipimyo. Ndakaambilwa ati, "Zhimuka upime i tempele lya Leza alimwi u Chipaililo, ubabo bakombela mo. ²Pele utabi nulupima lubanza, nkaambo lwapewa ku bantu bakunze. Balakolyatauka munzhi usalala kwa myezhi ili makumi osanwe.³Ndakapa bakamboni bangu bobile kwaamba bakashinshime kwa mazuba ali chuulu u myaanda yobile u makumi chisambomwe balisamine masaka.'' ⁴Bakamboni baba masamu obile a olive u shikala ma lambe azo azhimine kumbele lya Mwami wa anshi. ⁵Kuti na kuli umwi wasala kubalwana, mulilo ulavwa ku milomo yabo ukuzonauna bashinkondonokwabo. Kufumbwa uzanda kubalwana ulyelele kuyayiwa munzhila yezhi njiyona.⁶Baba bakamboni balikwete insana shakuliyala izeulu kwaamba kubule imvula ikawa mu mazuba akushinshima kwabo. Balikwete insana shakusandula meenzhi kuba bulowa alimwi ukuleta miika ishiyene shiyene chishi choonse kufumbwa chiindi nchibazanda kuchita bobo. ⁷Bakamanizha buyo bumboni bwabo, munyama uvwa mwilambwe liteeli ulakabalwana. Ulakabazunda ukubayaya.⁸Mitunta yabo ilakalabna munzhila ya munzhi mukando( chalo chitondezho chitewa Sodoma alimwi u Ejipiti koko Mwami wabo nkwakabambulilwa. ⁹Ukwa mazuba otatwe u chisela bamwi ku bantu boonse, kuvwa ku mishobo, milaka u mashi alakalanga mitunta yabo. Tabakavuvumizha kwaamba izhikwe mu shuumbwe.¹⁰Bantu banshi balakabotelwa ukutangala. Balakatuminana u shipo akati kabo nkaambo baba bashinshimi bobile bakapenzha babo bakupona anshi. ¹¹Pele kwaita bulyo mazuba otatwe u chisela moza wa bumi kuvwa kwa Leza ulakanjila muli mbabo, alimwi balakabuka ukuzhimuka. Bukandu bulakabanjila babo bati bakabone. ¹²Inzho balakatelela izwi livwa kwizeulu libaambila ati, "Kamwiza kono!" Bamana balakaya kwizeulu mwikumbi, lelyo bashinkondonokwabo kabalangilile.¹³Achiindi nchichona checho kulakaba kuzungaana kukando kwa nshi, alimwi chipanzha che kumi cha munzhi mukando chilakawa. Shuulu shili chiloba sha bantu balakayayiwa kuvwa ku kuzungana kwa nshi, babo batai bakafutuke balakapa bulemu kwa Leza wa kwizeulu. ¹⁴Ipenzhi lyabili lyaita. Langa! Ipenzhi lyatatu lileza chakufwambaana.¹⁵Kumane Angelo wa chiloba wakafwiba impeta yakwe, inzho mazwi akaamba kuvwa kwizeulu ati, "Bwami bwa nshi bwaba bwami bwa Mwami wesu alimwi u Kilisito wakwe, alimwi ulakendelezha shikwense u shikwense."¹⁶Kumane bakando bali makumi obile ubatesha bobile babo bakala a shuuna shabo kumbele lya Leza, bakafukama bamukomba Leza. ¹⁷Bakaamba ati, "Twakulumba Mwami Leza Shinsana shoonse, walo uuliko alimwi wakuliko, nkaambo washibweza insana shako shikando alimwi watalika kwendelezha.¹⁸Mashi akalemana, pele bukali bwko bwashika. Chiindi chashika cha bafu kwaamba babetekwe alimwi kwaamba upe bulumbu ku batwanga bako bashinshimi alimwi u banamusalazhi ba Leza, u babo bakutiya izhina lyako, balemu u batalemekwa. Chiindi chako chashika chakuzonauna babo bazonauna inshi.''¹⁹Ngoona chikombelo cha Leza kwizeulu chakayalulwa alimwi ikwati lya chivuminano lyakabonwa mu chikombelo cha Leza. Kakuli kulaba kwa mvula, mizuzumo ukuzungaana kwa nshi u chihulamabwe

¹Chitondezho chikando chakaboneka mwizeulu: mukaintu usamine izuba, u mwezhi kushi ku matende akwe alimwi u mushini wa ntongwezhi shili ikumi u shobile a mutwi. ²Kemishi, alimwi kalila nkaambo ka kusunga kuzanda kutumbuka.³Kumane kwaalibonya chitondezho chimwi kwizeulu: Langa! Kakuli mupuka umwi usubila ukwete mitwi ili chiloba u meya ali ikumi, alimwi kakuli mishini ili chiloba a mitwi yakwe. ⁴Muchila wakwe wakapeela mweelwe umwi wa ntongwezhi mwizeulu ukushileta ano anshi. Mupuka wakazhima kumbele lya mukaintu wakuzanda kutumbuka, kwaamba mwati atumbukile buyo mwanakwe amulye.⁵Wakazhala mwana mwembezhi, mwana mulombwana, walo uyakwendelezha mashi oonse u mungwala wa chibulo. Mwanakwe wakabwezwa kwa Leza alimwi uku chuuna chakwe cha bwami, ⁶kumane mukaintu wakalukankila mulukula, kwalo Leza nkwakaku mubambilile busena, kwaamba akakulanganyiwa kabotu kwa mazuba ali Chuulu u myaanda yobile u makumi chisambomwe.⁷Inzho kwakaba inkondo kwizeulu. Maiko u bangelo bakwe bakamulwana mupuka, aze mupuka u bangelo bakwe bakazhola. ⁸Pele mupuka katakwete insana shakukonzha kuzunda.

Bobu mbubusena mwati akabambililwe kabotu kabotu, kwa chiindi, shiindi alimwi kwachisela - kuvwa kubushu bwa muzoka.¹⁵Muzoka wakatila meenzhi kuvwa mukanwa lyakwe ukoya mulonga kwaamba apange izambangulwe likonzha ku mutola mukaintu. ¹⁶Pele Inshi yakamuyovwelezha mukaintu. Inshi yakayalula mulomo ukumina mulonga wakalukwa kuvwa ku mulomo wa mupuka. ¹⁷Ngoona mupuka wakabiilwa nkaambo ka mukaintu ngoona wakaavwa waya kulwana boonse ba lunungu lwa mukaintu, babo batobela milawo ya Leza alimwi uku kakatila ku bumboni bwa Jeso. ¹⁸Ngoona mupuka wakazhima a musenga uli a muuma wa Lwatele.

¹Ngoona ndakabona munyama ulavwa mu lwatele. Kakwete meya ali ikumi u mitwi ili chiloba. Kumeya akwe kakuli mishini ili ikumi, alimwi a mutwi umutwi kakuli izhina lyaamba matushi. ²Wezu munyama ngwindakabona kali ukoya shiluwe. Matende akwe kaali ukoya a muchele alimwi mulomo wakwe kooli ukoya wa shuumbwa. Munyama wakashipa insana shakwe, chuna cha bwami bwakwe, alimwi iinsana shakwendelezha.³Umwi mutwi wa munyama kakwete ilonda ikando, pele ilonda lelyo lyakapona.
