11 Ntheura ŵanthu ŵa mu msumba wake, ŵalara na ŵakuchindikika awo ŵakakhalanga mu msumba wake, ŵakachita ivyo vikalembeka mu makalata agho Yezebeli wakatuma kwa iwo.

Munthu uyu wakuŵakhumbira mtende yayi ŵanthu aŵa, kweni soka.” 5 Themba Zedekiya likati: “Wonani, wali mu mawoko ghinu, pakuti palije icho themba lingachita kumulekeskani.”
