13 Mu yabo bashaaja, muguma wabo anambuuzagya, ti: «Yaba bandu, kwo bayambiiti amakanju meeru, ka ubayiji? Ka unayiji ho balyosiri?» 14 Nanashuvya: «E Nahano, yibyo byoshi, wehe, we biyiji.» Anambwira: «Yaba bandu, bo balyokaga mu nguuke yaꞌmalibu. Naꞌmakanju gaabo, keera bakagafula mu muko gwa kirya Kyanabuzi, halinde gakoli yeruusiri bweneene! 15 Kyo kitumiri: Bakoli yamiri muno mu nyumba ya Rurema, imbere lyeꞌkitumbi kyage, bagweti bagamúyikumbira mwo úbwakya-úbwayira.
