3 Nupya wandanzile simapepo mukalamba Yoswa ala wataimilila pa nkoleelo yakwe malaika wakwe Yeova, na Satana wimilile ukwi kasa lyakwe ili lunji pakuti amukaanye. 2 Lyene malaika wakwe Yeova wanenyile Satana ati: “Si Yeova akukalipile, we Satana, Yeova uwasoolola Yelusalemu akukalipile! Uzye umuntu wii asi icisonsololwa icafumiziwa pa moto?”

3 Walanga Yoswa watazwala ivyakuzwala ivifiite nupya wimilile pa nkoleelo yakwe malaika. 4 Malaika wanenyile auze aaimi pa nkoleelo yakwe ati, “Muzulini ivyakuzwala ivifiite.” Lyene wanenyile Yoswa ati, “Indenga imembu zyako ukusila, nupya umazwikwa ivyakuzwala ivisuma.”
