7 Pabha mundu anakombola kulanga bhannyama bhowe, na ijuni na bhannnyama bhaatambalanga na yamaki.
8 Ikabheje jwakwa mundu akombola kululanga lulimi. Lulimi lwa ilebho lukaatondobha, lushigumbala ushungu gwa bhulaga.
9 Kwa lulimi lwetu tunakwaainiya Bhakulungwa na Atati a Nnungu, na kwa lulimi pelo tunakwaaloshanga bhandunji, bhapengenywenje kwa landana na bhayene a Nnungu.
10 Lulimi pelo lunajujila mboka na lunalosha. Bhaakulupalila ajangunji yeneyo inalimbiywa.
11 Bhuli shinjweshwe shimo shinakombola kukopoya mashi ga ima na mashi ga lalama?
