5 Novature va Ninive va kambura mu Ndjambi nowo va tya kutja auhe e ritjaere kovikurya, novandu avehe, ovanene nouṱiṱi, va zara ozombanda zomakutu okuraisa kutja ve ritanaura.

Auhe nga kumbe nomasa ku Ndjambi nu a ise ozongaro ze ozombi novitjitwa vye ovivi. 9 Ngahino Ndjambi ma rundurura omeripura we na zu ko komazenge we ne he tu yandeke!’ ”
