Ntshia wewe kuikala muakuidi wa nzubu wa muntu umue+ peshi ntshia kulua muakuidi wa tshisa tshijima ne dîku mu Isalele?”+ 20 Nunku muakuidi wakasanka, yeye kuangata efoda, mpingu ya telafima,* ne lupingu lusonga,+ kuyaye ne bantu abu.

21 Pashishe bakakudimuka bua kutungunuka ne njila wabu, kupitshishabu bana, bimuna, ne bintu bia mushinga kumpala kuabu. 22 Bakavua baye ntanta ne nzubu wa Mika pavua bantu bavua basombele mu nzubu ivua pabuipi ne nzubu wa Mika badisangishe pamue, balonde bena Dana, babapete. 23 Pakelabu bena Dana dîyi, bobu bakakudimuka bua kubatangila, kuebejabu Mika ne: “Mbualu kayi? Nudi badisangishe pamue bua tshinyi?” 24 Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Nudi bangate nzambi yanyi imvua muenze, ne nudi baye kabidi ne muakuidi wanyi. Meme ndi mushale ne tshinyi? Nunku mmunyi munudi nungebeja ne: ‘Udi ne bualu kayi?’” 25 Bena Dana bakandamuna ne: “Kutubandishidi dîyi to; tshianana, bantu badi ne tshiji* badi mua kukuenzela bibi, ne bualu abu budi mua kujimijija muoyo* webe ne mioyo* ya ba mu nzubu muebe.” 26 Nunku bena Dana bakatungunuka ne njila wabu; ne bu muvua Mika mumone ne: bavua ne bukole bupite buende yeye, wakakudimuka, kupinganaye ku nzubu kuende.
