Upatthani wontuniyani
1 Cinkhumelela vayi ikhotto nnyo ni waanaca winyu ayaayoru nwo? Cinkhuma nkhwiluni cinaana mwirutthuni mwinyu mmo.
2 Nnakhalela nttima ca akhwinyu ni khannophwanya. Nnawiiva ni nnarama nanso khannophwanya. Makhalelo enyu ari owiiva ni waana ikhotto. Nnavekela nanso khannakhela, kontha khannovekela ratta.

6 Nanso uyo nanivaha nnema nuulupale. Phimaana cowantikhiya ciiraka:
