22 Kalunga ou e va pitifa mo muEgipiti;
Oye e li ngaashi eembinga domhuulu kuvo.
23 Osheshi oupule itau kwafa okupongeka Jakob,

Paife eshi tapa ka shiivifwa
‘Tala eshi Kalunga e va ningila.’
24 Tala, oshiwana tashi fikama po ngaashi onghoshi yonghadi,
tashi yeluka po ngaashi onghoshi.
Itashi ka nangala fimbo inashi lya po oshihakanwa
nofimbo inashi nwa ohonde yaai ya dipawa.”
