2 Bobu bakukonke ne: ‘Nkuepi kutudi ne bua kuya?’ udi ne bua kubambila ne: ‘Yehowa udi wamba nunku:

“Muntu udi mufundila tshipupu tshia lufu, ku tshipupu tshia lufu!

Muntu udi mufundila muele wa mvita, ku muele wa mvita!+

Muntu udi mufundila tshiyole tshia nzala, ku tshiyole tshia nzala!

Ne muntu udi mufundila dikuatshibua, ku dikuatshibua!”’+
