Kapitulu 11.

Amana Zofali, musi Nama, wávutula: «Ni ndinga zazi za kithombu zafwani kusala konda mvutu? Ni mutu wabasa yi ndinga kafwani kumonika wa masonga? Ni mameni maku ma phamba mafwani kukitula batu bana talala? Ngeyi waseya konda mutu wakukwata tsoni? Mukuma ngeyi wisi zimbula: “Ndongolu yama yenina ya kasemi, amana meni yenina wa kasemi ku mesu maku.” Kaasi, enga, yuka ni Nzambi kazimbula amana katemuna malebu mandi kwena ngeyi, amana kakusongila bitsweki bya ngangu— mukuma ngangu ya kyedika yenina yi mayenda modi. Zaya buna ni Nzambi wákuhana ndola yikondi kufwana masumu maku. Ngeyi walenda kubakula mambu ma ndindi ma Nzambi? Walenda kuwana tsuka ya Nzambi wa Ngolu zoosu? Mawu mazangama kuluta mazilu—biki walenda kuhanga? Ma ndindi kuluta kalunga—biki walenda kuzaya? Kitesu kya mawu kyayila kuluta tsi amana kineni kuluta yanga. Yuka ni yandi wahita amana wakasa mu boloku amana wateda ku pfundusu, ani walenda kumuvutula? Mukuma yandi wazaya batu bakonda mupfunu; buna kamona kukonda kwa masonga, ni kabakulamoku? Kaasi mutu konda ngangu kakituka wa ngangu tangwa mwana wa ane wa mu tseki kabutuka mutu. Yuka ni ngeyi wayidika mbundu yaku amana walambula moku maku kwena yandi, yuka ni disumu dyenina mu koku dyaku, dilosa, amana yambula kukonda kwa masonga kazingilaku mu masombolu maku, buna kyedika watombula luse lwaku, konda tsoni; watelama wazyama amana wayukaku bweya. Wazimbakana kiwayi kyaku, wayubuka kyawu hanga mamba mana máhita. Luzingu lwaku lwakedyama kuluta kati kya mwini; phipha yandi yakala hanga suka. Wakala wazyama, mukuma kivuvu kyenina; watála hanga amana waleka mu talala. Waleka konda mutu wakukwata bweya, amana balawu basanda tsambu yaku. Kaasi mesu ma batu ba mbi mazima; kutina kwosu kwatota kwena bawu, amana kivuvu kya bawu kimosi kaka kwenina lufwa.»
