19 “‘Pele nywebo muyoobuzya kuti: “Ino nkaambo nzi mwana ncaatapegwa mulandu akaambo kazinyonyoono zyabausyi?” Mbokunga mwana wacita cintu ciluzi alimwi ciluleme, wazumanana kutobela milawo yangu yoonse alimwi akwiibamba, nkokuti ncobeni uyoozumanana kupona.+ 20 Muntu ooyo uubisya ngonguwe uuyoofwa.+ Mwana takapegwi mulandu akaambo kazinyonyoono zyabausyi pe, abalo bausyi tabakapegwi mulandu akaambo kazinyonyoono zyamwanaabo. Bululami bwamululami buyoobalilwa kulinguwe alikke, abwalo bubi bwamubi buyoobalilwa kulinguwe alikke.+

21 “‘Lino ikuti muntu mubi wazileka zibi zyoonse nzyaalikucita akutobela milawo yangu alimwi akucita cintu ciluzi alimwi ciluleme, nkokuti ncobeni walo ulazumanana kupona.
