²⁶ Na tenepo, nyabasa uyu aenda patsogolo pa mambo mban'godamira mbam'phemba tenepa: ‘Mbuya, ndilekerereni. Ine ndinakubwezerani pyonsene.’

²⁷ Mambo wa nyabasa ule am'bvera ntsisi, mbamulekerera mangawa ace onsene, mbamuleka mbaenda pyace.

²⁸ Mbwenye nyabasa uyu mukhabuluka iye, agumana ndzace wa pa basa akhadanfiyari cikwi cibodzi basi ca kobiri ya parata. Amphata, mban'khwipa n'khosi, mbampanga tenepa: ‘Ndibwezere mangawa anga.’

²⁹ Penepo nyabasa ndzace agwa pantsi, am'phata myendo mbam'phemba tenepa: ‘Ndilekerere! Ndinadza kakubwezera pyonsene.’

³⁰ Mbwenye iye akhonda kum'bvera. Na tenepo, ampitisa n'kaidi mpaka kufikira am'bwezera mangawa ace onsene.

³¹ Anyabasa andzace mudapyona iwo, aipirwa napyo pikulu kakamwe, mbaenda kalonga pyonsene kuna mambo.

³² Penepo mambo ancemeresa nyabasa unowu mbampanga tenepa: ‘Munthu wa kuipa ninga iwe! Ine ndakulekerera mangawa ako onsene ninga mudandiphembera iwe.

³³ Watani kukhonda kum'bverambo ndzako ntsisi ninga zidakubvera ine?’

³⁴ Na tenepo, mambo aipirwa pikulu kakamwe mbam'pitisa n'kaidi kuti aoneswe nyatwa, mpaka kumala kulipa mangawa onsene.

³⁵ Mungakhonda kulekerera andzanu na ntima onsene, Baba wanga ali kudzulu anadza kakucitiranimbo pibodzi-bodzi.”
