“‘Nyɔnu siwo wɔa nu ɖɔʋuwo la li fũu, gake wò la, èƒo wo katã ta.’
30 Ubuhle buyinkohliso, lokubukeka kuyize; owesifazana owesaba iNkosi yena uzadunyiswa.
Nyonyo la, beblee, eye tugbedzedze nu hã va yina kaba; gake woakafu nyɔnu si vɔ̃a Yehowa.

Mitsɔ fetu si wòdze na la nɛ, eye eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ahe kafukafu vɛ nɛ le dua ƒe agbowo nu.”
