⁹Mfwali filatu, lakini mukotoo kutola yingwa yimonga.

¹⁵Lakini vamonga vadetili, “Ayu Eliya.” Vamonga vadetili, “Ayu mbuyi, kucha vala vambuyi va dahili.”

¹⁶Helodi papikanishili filongu afi, kadeta, “Yohani mbatisha yindimdumulili mutwi kashukuka!”

¹⁷Kwa nongwa dahili Helodi mweni alayishili kucha Yohani mbatisha akamuliwi na awopiwi muchijaka. Agolili naha kwanongwa amuhetili Helodiya, mdala wa Filipu na Filipu avelili mfwata mundu Helodi
