27 Ku nongwa iya kuti indumbula isha bhandu abha ngafu,
bhashindiile ifyufwo fyabho,
bhashishiilite amaaso ghaabho,
ukuti amaaso ghaabho manye ghateshange,
ifyufwo fyabho manye fipulikaghe
ni ndumbula shaabho manye shishaaghaniange,
manye bhakapinduke ukuti imbapoke.” ’ ”✡

[ 29 Bhwo uPaabhuli aamala ukuyugha amashu agho, aBhayuuta bhakatiila nu kubhuuka bhwo bhakwendelela ukukaanikana ngaani bheene-bheene.]
30 UPaabhuli akiikala mu nyumba yila yiiyo akahombagha indalama ku fyinja fibhili. Abhandu abhingi bhakabhuukagha pakumutesha, ghwepe akabhapokeelagha akiisa. 31 Ku fyinja fibhili ifyo, uPaabhuli akalumbililagha inongwa isha chitangalala icha Chaala nu kumanyisha iNongwa iNyiisa iya Malafyale uYeesu Kilisiti ku maka chishita kwoghopa nu kuti atakabhaapo umundu naayumo ughwa kumukaanisha.
