19 Ni kpweli mimi mtumishi wenu mkanitsunuka na mkanionera mbazi kpwa kunitivya, ela siweza kufika myangoni mana ni kure sana. Nchihenda vivyo, nindaphahwa ni go mai na nifwe.

22 Henda wangbwi uchimbirire kuko, mana sindahenda rorosi hadi ufike kuko.” Kpwa sababu Lutu waamba ni mdide, hura mudzi waihwa Soari.
