Nomwa hala okuyeleka olupe lange nolalyelye, fye naye tu faafane ngeno? 6 Ovo tava pimhi mo oshingoldo mekutu, ndele tava yelekifa oshisiliveli noshiyelekifo, tava ifana omuhambwidi woshingoldo note shi hambula kalunga, tave shi twile eengolo ndele tave shi ilikana. 7 Ovo tave shi tula komapepe, tave shi humbata notave shi kaleke ofika ponhele yasho.
