5 « Boya kolia bilei na ngai mpe komela vino oyo nakamoli,

6 botika nzela na bino ya bozoba mpe bokozala na bomoi, botambola na nzela ya mayele. »

7 Moto nyonso oyo apamelaka motioli amilukelaka kosambwa, moto nyonso oyo apamelaka moto mabe amilukelaka ngambo.
[one who] admonishes - A mocker [is] receiving for himself shame and [one who] reproves a wicked [person] defect his.
8 Kopamela motioli te, noki te akoyina yo; kasi pamela moto ya bwanya, mpe akolinga yo.
May not you reprove a mocker lest he should hate you reprove a wise [person] and he will love you.
