3 Nʼoge gara aga ka m kwuru ihe na-aga ime nʼoge dị nʼihu. Mgbe m kwupụrụ ya, emekwara m ka ihe ahụ m kwuru mezuo.
The former [things] from then I declared and from mouth my they went out and I proclaimed them suddenly I acted and they came.
4 Nʼihi na amaara m na unu bụ ndị isiike, matakwa na akwara dị unu nʼolu bụ igwe a na-apụghị ịrọji arọji. Amakwaara m na egedege ihu unu bụ bronz.

Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel I [am] Yahweh God your [who] teaches you to profit [who] leads you in [the] way [which] you will go.
18 A sịkwarị na unu ṅara ntị nʼiwu m niile, udo unu gaara na-eru dịka osimiri, ọdịmma unu adịkwa ka mmali nke ebili oke osimiri.
