27 Ku nongwa iya kuti indumbula isha bhandu abha ngafu,
bhashindiile ifyufwo fyabho,
bhashishiilite amaaso ghaabho,
ukuti amaaso ghaabho manye ghateshange,

ni ndumbula shaabho manye shishaaghaniange,
manye bhakapinduke ukuti imbapoke.” ’ ”✡28:26-27 Yesaaya 6:9-10
28 Po uPaabhuli akeendelela ukuyugha akati, “Ulu mumanye ukuti uChaala atumite ubhupoki ubhu ku bhandu bhaabho bhataa Bhayuuta, bhoope indibhabhupokeele nu kubhwitika.”
[ 29 Bhwo uPaabhuli aamala ukuyugha amashu agho, aBhayuuta bhakatiila nu kubhuuka bhwo bhakwendelela ukukaanikana ngaani bheene-bheene.]
