Era wali okaali kuzaalibwa naakutukuza

14Agho Musengwa Katonda yankoba ati: “Akabi kaliva ku luuyi olw’omukono omugooda olw’e buvandhuba, kaatuuka ku bantu boonaboona ababa mu kiketezo kino. 15Bona eno, ndyeta abantu b’omu bwakyabazinga bw’eyo ku luuyi olw’omukono omugooda olw’e buvandhuba. Bakyabazinga baayo baliidha baata ebityamo byaibwe eby’obwakyabazinga ku miryango gy’e Yerusalemu, n’okwezunguluza ebimante ebikiriku, era n’okwezunguluza ebibuga ebindi eby’omu Buyudaaya. 16Ndisalira abantu bange omusango gwabasinga olw’obubi bwaibwe; kuba banvaaku baaniokeza bakatonda abandi obubbaani, era baasinza ebintu bye baakola beene n’engalo dhaibwe. 17Iwe mperaano situkiramu, weesibe weenhweze, oje obakobe ebyo byonabyona bye nnaakulagira okubakoba.
