5 Eyǎka Yɛso, kwebasambelɛ balɔmbwɛ bakɛ ê eta: «Nǎmbɔ komwɛ kwɛnyu kwe na kɛnda lyakɛ na koya kenda lyakɛ kwǎkya wakɛ m'bwingi na busuku na on'sambela kɛte: ‹Kɛnda, ebombo enɔ otangɛ opa mikatɛ ketato. 6 Yolo kenda lyanyi lya pihila, na lye n'lwɛndɔ nishi nayaom'ha.› 7 Nǎmbɔ koya kwe n'ta sɛsɛ kwahoon'kǎ kɛte: ‹Ushitɛnjɛ!

9 Obibyɔ nɛnɛ nan'sambela bînɔ: «Mobɛ osaba yolo mohɛwɛ, mobɛoɛba na mwemɔna, mobɛ ohola n'changɔ na mwesulilwa. 10 Yolo kɛkɛsɛ kwebasaba nǎ kwebahɛwa, na koya minɛ kwebaɛba nǎ kwebamɔna, na koya kwebahola n'changɔ nǎ beban'sulila. 11 Wé, we komwɛ hawîngi hɛnyu minɛ mwǎnakɛ kwahosaba swé, kwem'ha ndɔa? 12 Nǎmbɔ mwǎna kwahon'saba leke, kwem'ha ngɛlɛngɛlɛ? 13 Nǎmbɔ bɛnywɛ bato babé mwebahá bǎna bɛ́nyu bito bibɛnju, chikelwɛ sɛnyu kwa hakolo kwêha Ntema Kohaha o baya beban'saba kɔ.»

14 Lomwɛ lusuku, Yɛso kwebɛlɛ obenga m'ha kwɛnɛ kweitilɛ komwɛ n'to amɛmɛ. Hɔka haya, koya m'ha kwem'muminɛ na koya n'to kwetolilɛ otɔkɔma. Eoto ya bato yebɛlɛ haya yekakelwɛ wɛ̌nɛ. 15 Ela bamwɛ m'baya bato bekaninɛ kɛte: «Koko n'to kwehobenga miha o boɔmɛ bwa Bɛlɛzɛbuli, m'hɛla kwa miha.» 16 Bangɛ ben'tɔndilɛ okana kobamɔnyɛ emwɛ ekake, yolo bamanɛ nǎmbɔ kwahuma hakolo.

17 Ela Yɛso kwemaninɛ malanga mabɔ, kwebakaninɛ bînɔ: «Nǎmbɔ bato ba bomwɛ boɔlɔ beoholana bɔka wa bɔka, boya boɔlɔ bushinakimana, na elɔngɔ yɔsɛ yɛnɛ bato beoholana bɔka wa bɔka eya elɔngɔ ishinakimana. 18 Nǎmbɔ Ehengele lwakɛ kweolehola bita, boɔlɔ bwakɛ bwekimana wé?

21 «N'to kwa m'ɔ̌mu minɛ kwe na poto, kwebakonga sɛsɛ kyakɛ, bomɔna bwakɛ bwebabá talala. 22 Ela nǎmbɔ n'to kwa m'ɔ̌mu om'heta kɛ, kwǎchwa olwa bita nǎkɛ, kwen'sapa maya mapoto mɔsɛ makebɛlɛ oleutakecha na okabanya bito byɔsɛ byakan'sapa.

23 «Kɛkɛsɛ kushiolelonga wanyi, i amango anyi, koya minɛ kushiombwasha osambanya, kwehosala. »

24 Yɛso kwekaninɛ eyǎka kɛte: «M'ha kwahobengwa n'ta mwa n'to, kwebakya na hetaheta n'ta longo oɛba ibu ya olehɔcha. Nambɔ kwasamɔna ibu, kwebalesambela kɛte: ‹Nesuela o sɛsɛ kyǎnyi kyandahûma.› 25 Haosuela wakɛ, kwebanga keya sɛsɛ kye kehakelwɛ na olɔngiwa bisɔka. 26 Obibyɔ, kwebakya okoha kengɛ miha njwe oheta kɛ.

27 Yɛso hakebɛlɛ otɔkɔma bîya, komwɛ m'achana m'eya eoto ya bato kwehunyinyɛ lete leolo okana kɛte: «Kohalelwɛ m'achana minɛ kweobutilɛ na ookɔkya!» 28 Ela Yɛso kwen'kailɛ: «I bahalelwɛ baya bɛnɛ bebaholecha binywa bya Abɛcha na obiwata.»

29 Omɔna eoto ya bato yebɛlɛ okya na bǔla, Yɛso kwebasambelɛ kɛte: «Bato ba manɔ masuku bashibabɛnju.

33 Yɛso kwekaninɛ eyǎka: «Ushi n'to kwebalamywa yěngɛ na oebisa aɔ oewila m'etanga, ela kwebaebea hakolo o yɔbɔ, yolo bato bɛnɛ beokingela n'sɛsɛ bamɔnɛ yěngɛ. 34 Mɛ̌so mɔbɛ nǎ yɛ̌ngɛ ya m'bele kɔbɛ, nǎmbɔ mɛ̌sɔ mobɛ me pɔ, m'bele kɔbɛ kɔsɛ kweba n'ta yɛ̌ngɛ.
