Wapanga chimbere chila kabila ndiphosagala na mudawe. 27Wahenda hivyo ili anadamu amuendze na amuone, hata dzagbwe ni kpwa kuphaphasa-phaphasa. Ela kpwa kpweli Mlungu kakure naswi. 28Mana, kama mmwenga wenu vyoamba, ‘Ndiye ahuphaye uzima, na anahupha uwezo wa kunyendeka na kuishi.’ Tsona atu enu a kuandika mashairi aamba, ‘Sisi piya hu anae.’ 29Kpwa vira hu ana a Mlungu, taifwaha kuhenda sura ya Mlungu ikale yaiga sanamu za zahabu, feza ama dziwe, vitu vyohendatsongbwa chiufundi ni binadamu. 30Mlungu wapuza uzuzu wa anadamu kpwa muda wa kukola, ela sambi analagiza chila mmwenga himu dunia ndzima atubu. 31Kpwa mana waika siku ambayo andaamula dunia ndzima kpwa haki, muamuli andakala hiye mutu ariyemtsambula. Naye wammanyisa chila mutu, hiye yetsambulwa, kpwa kumfufula.”
