Mana mangʼondzi sigo gakpwe, phahi achiona mabawa garedza, andaricha mangʼondzi phapho, achimbire. Nago mabawa nkugagbwira na ganjina gakatsamukana. 13 Mrisa wa kuandikpwa nkuchimbira, kpwa vira mangʼondzi sigo gakpwe wala kanago utsungu. 14-15 +Mimi ndimi mrisa mnono, nami nindafwa kpwa mangʼondzi gangu. Mana nagamanya nago gananimanya, dza viratu Baba animanyavyo nami nammanya. 16 Kuna mangʼondzi gangu ganjina ambago sigo ga chaa hichi, na ni lazima nigarehe piya. Gandasikira sauti yangu, na hipho ndipho kundakala na kundi mwenga na mrisa mmwenga.
