14 Lo! Y entre to dai in to the weye of al erthe; and ye schulen knowe `with al soule, that of al wordis whiche the Lord bihiyte hym silf to yyue to you, not oon passide in veyn.
“Rĩu niĩ ngirie gwĩthiĩra na njĩra ĩrĩa andũ othe a thĩ mathiiaga. Nĩmũũĩ na ngoro cianyu ciothe, na maroho manyu atĩ gũtirĩ kĩĩranĩro o na kĩmwe kĩa maũndũ marĩa mothe mega Jehova Ngai wanyu aamwĩrĩire atahingĩtie. Irĩkanĩro ciothe nĩihingĩtio, na gũtirĩ o na kĩmwe gĩtahingĩte.
