24 Avo kamkema kwa sauti ng'hulu, ‘Tata Abulahamu! Nyonele bazi! Mtume Lazalo yazabike kidole chake mgamazi, yaluhoze lulimi lwangu, kwavija nogaya ng'hani muumoto uno!’
25 “Lakini Abulahamu kamulongela, ‘Mwanangu, kumbuka muugima wako kubokela vinhu vinogile, nayo Lazalo kabokela vihile. Lakini sambi Lazalo kobwihila, na gweye kodununzika.
26 Hata avo, hagati yetu tweye na mweye hekigwa kolombo kulu, muladi munhu yolonda kuloka kulawa kuno kwiza kumwenu sekeyadahe, hebu munhu yoyose kulawa kumwenu sekeyaloke kwiza kumwetu!’
27 Tajili ija kalonga, ‘Nokupula gweye, tata Abulahamu, umtume Lazalo kuna ikae ya tatangu,
28 ako kuna ndugu zangu watano. Muleke yachole yakawazume muladi sekeweze hanhu hano ha kudununzika!’
29 “Abulahamu kalonga, ‘Ndugu zako wanago maandiko ga Musa na ga watula ndagu wa Mulungu ga kuwazuma. Wawategeleze wao kiwolonga!’
30 Tajili ija kamwidika, ‘Bule tata Abulahamu! Lakini kamba munhu yahazilibuka kulawa kwa wafile na kuwacholela, baho wozileka nzambi zao!’
