7

Ohiya tho vaa, yahaana etata tjepinaatamu vathi waya mapupha ale ephantti tjo tjeese; ekhove ni mapupha otjesse yaari tjo:
9
mapupha ayo yanaakwanya mapupha ankhuaaya yamwattaman'nalyaaya ni khayaarukunuwa yiweettaka; ohiya tho voo wakuta nthu eetta akelelaka ohoolo.
10

Ekhiyumpi n'ye alikan'ne ni makhala opharela, yaari toko mwenke, mooro wapharela ni weetteetta wariyari wa apinaatamu ni yaahaavo woonieela wo verunya.
14
Ekhumpi n'ye weetteetta waya waari wowaakuva erwaaka ohoolo ni ekelelaka ottuli ni yaalikan'ne toko overunya!

19
Wakhunla okathi ekhiyumpi n'ye weettaaya, erootha n'ye tjeetta ni yaayo. Ekhiyumpi yooromelaaya vathi erotha n'yo tjanawooroma.
20
Won'wo N'nepa wakelelaaya, ayena yaarwa won'wo, ni erotha tjanakhoroma ni ayena, kontha N'nepa wa ekhiyumpi waari n'roothani m'mwe.
21
Okathi ekhiyumpi weettaya, erotha n'ye tjanaweetta; ni, okathi weemelaaya, erotha n'yo tjana weemela; okathi ekhiyumpi wooromeelaaya vathi, erotha n'yo tjana wooroma naayena, kontha N'nepa wa ekhiyumpi n'ye waari n'roothani.
