Iyeyo ndi wakupha. Wolipsira adzamuphe wakuphayo pamene akumana naye. 22 “ ‘Koma ngati popanda udani wina uliwonse, mwadzidzidzi akankha wina kapena kumuponyera chinthu osati mwadala, 23 kapena mosamuona nʼkumuponyera mwala womwe utha kumupha, munthuyo nʼkufa, tsono pakuti sanali mdani wake ndipo sanaganizire zomupweteka, 24 gulu liweruze pakati pa iye ndi wolipsira monga mwa malamulo ake. 25 Gulu lidzapulumutsa munthu wakuphayo mʼmanja mwa wolipsira uja ndi kumubwezera ku mzinda wopulumukirako kumene anathawira.
