15Hamba mndewa wa Misili nakawalonjela wahunga, Shifula na Pua, nawawele wowakolela mijito wadala Waebulaniya,
16“Homuwakolela mijito wadala wa Chiebulaniya mhela wa kuponda, wone mwana hoyopondigwa yawe mlume, mumkopole. Ila wone yawe mdala, mlecheni yekale.”
17Ila kwa vila wahunga awo nawali womdumba Nguluwi, hawaditile kota vyowalajizwe na mndewa wa Misili, ila hewo nawawaleka wana walume wa Waisilaeli wekale.
