Mamuna atawira tenepa: “Nkazi adandipasa Imwe toera akhale na ine, ndiye adandipasa misapo ya muti, natenepo ndadya.”

Penepo Baba wathu abvundza nkazi tenepa: “Ndi cinani cidacita iwe?” Iye atawira tenepa: “Nyoka andinyengeza, natenepo ndadya.”

Natenepo Baba wathu alonga kuna nyoka tenepa: “Thangwi wacita pyenepi, iwe ndiwe wakutembwa kupita pifuyo pyonsene na kupita pinyama pyonsene pya kuthando; pa mimba yako unafamba, pontho unadya pfumbi ntsiku zonsene za umaso wako. Ine ndinaikha nyinyi pakati pako na nkazi, na pakati pa mbeu yako na mbeu yace; iye anaphwanya nsolo wako, iwe pontho unaluma citende cace.” ^c

Inabalira iwe miwa na mphundu, pontho unadya pyakumera pya kuthando. Mu kutukuta kwa nkhope yako unadya nkate wako mpaka ubwerere ku nthaka, thangwi kubulukira mwa iyo wakwatwa; thangwi ndiwe pfumbi, pontho ku pfumbi unabwerera.”
