8 “Lijuva palihongili yula munachitava kamuwombela mkola mbiya waki, vakemi vagola chichuku uvahombi ijala yawu, ‘Ukandi na vala vafikili kumbeli, pambeli umalishili na vala vakwaa.’ 9 Topi, vayisa vala yivayisili saa lilongu na limu vapokela kila mundu ijala ya lijuva limu. 10 Vala va kwaa kufika pavafikili, vakacheyi davapokeli sitangalili, lakini veni vapata ngimu wuwula wula kila mundu ijala ya lijuva limu. 11 Vasipokela mbiya shawu, vakanda kumung'ong'utekela yula bambu. 12 Vadeta, ‘Ava vafikili kumbeli vagola chichuku cha kwa lisaa limu hela.
