⁵Chila lwanda lutsomemetsighwa, chila chidunda na sughulu pfitsomwaghaluka, hanu hapfeduke hatsogholosighwa nzila itsihile tsitsogholosighwa na kukala ghoya.

⁶Na iwanu wose watsowona ukombotsi we Imulungu!’ ”

⁷Kuya iwanu wamghendela Yohane ili awabatitse, naye kawalongela, “Mwemwe iwana we nzoka! Yuhi yawalongele mwodaha kuhepa ukuhighighwa ne Imulungu?
