⁸Kana muchindivigira chakapofumara chive chibayiro, hazvina kuipa here? Kana muchindivigira chinokamhina nechinorwara hazvina kuipa here? Chizvivigirai mubati wenyu; ungakufarirai here? Kana ungakugamuchirai here? Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.

⁹Ut anakcuan, tijonkex. Chextzßâmânk taxak chiru li Kâcuaß re nak aßan târuxtâna êru. Abanan cui incßaß nequecanab xbânunquil li incßaß us, ¿chanru nak târuxtâna êru li Dios chi joßcan?
