30 Ila mafwarizeewu na anamanozela a kano khukhijilela matakhelo a Nnyizinku khuhoosiwi ti Yaahaya.
31 “Anaatamu apa a leelo eti kiwaalattisane niini?
32 Alattanana khuntti ya asimaana eekhaliye vaparasa akhuwelanaka araka. ‘Fweeyo n'oovumiselani phivi za vaharusi mweeyo khuhiini; khwiipa liipo la huzuni mweeyo khuhilili.’
33 Khuta Yaahaya Namoosa woofuka na ahinnywaaye viinyu, mweeyo mwinri: ‘Ye onaaye masheethwani.’
