9 Nzube ha bụ ime ka ụjọ tụọ anyị. Ha na-echekwa sị, “Ha ga-ada mba nʼọrụ a ma hapụkwa ịrụcha ya.” Ma akpọkuru m Chineke sị ya, “Biko gbaa aka m ume.”
For all of them [were] making afraid us saying they will drop hands their from the work and not it will be done and therefore strengthen hands my.
10 Otu ụbọchị, a gara m nʼụlọ Shemaya, nwa Delaya, nwa Mehetabel, onye e mechibidoro ụzọ nʼụlọ ya. Ọ sịrị m, “Ka anyị zukọta nʼụlọ Chineke, nʼime ụlọnsọ, ka anyị mechiekwa ụzọ niile nke ụlọnsọ ahụ, nʼihi na ndị ikom na-abịa igbu gị, e, nʼabalị ka ha na-abịa igbu gị.”
