Woosi wu ubaatondo mukadi a nde, ubaatondo nde mwakulu. 29 Eye, a hu li na muutu tso mumosi wu abelele nyutu a nde mwakulu ve. Ka muutu ubaabuungala nyutu a nde na ubaakele yo, we bu Kristo ubaasa mu libundu, 30 li lili nyutu a nde yi bisu boosi lili binama.

31 We bu baasonehe: «Ni mu buuna, bahala luusiisa taata a nde na ngu a nde mu ukangama na mukadi a nde, na bo baboole buukituha nyutu mosi✝.» 32 Hu li ŋaniiŋa na imbuli hi hyasweme: me ndi mu undeele mu tswehi yi yitali Kristo na libundu. 33 Ka yo yaahwama kaka na benu: hwafwana ti pasi mulumi abaatondo mukadi a nde we nde mwakulu, na pasi mukadi abaakiinza mulumi a nde.
