¹³Mweni kavawombela, “Mkotoo kusumula mbiya kujumba chigelu chila chivavikili.”

¹⁴Machonda wuwu vamdasha, “Na yufwi tugoli liki?” Kavayangula, “Mkotoo kutola findu fya mundu yoyosi kwa liwovi wala kumpayishila yoyosi. Mujakwi na ijala yenu.”

¹⁵Vandu vaveli vakushuvilila chindu chiutunga, vakanda kuyidasha mundima shawu chimwilatili Yohani mbatisha kucha mweni kava ndi Kilistu yashawuliwili na Chapanga.

¹⁶Apa Yohani mbatisha kavawombela vosi, “Nenga nguvabatisha kwa machi, ila akwisa yaveli na liwovi pitu nenga, mweni nenga nguwesha ha hata kuwoposola ng'oyi sha mikobasi yaki, mweni davabatishi kwa Mfuki Mng'alili na kwa motu.

¹⁷Mweni kana luselu mumawoku vaki na mweni dafyayili luvagha lwaki lwa kupetela mpunga dawuviki mulusanja myeyu danyanyi mumotu wa lifumbika.”
