Eo kae ke iwe ngie urubikange, n'ebea bati bamwederengi!»

27Yohana wasako bo mbu: «Kusira ngu wamubese na kikai kuba ntwakuninkwa cho na Ongo. 28Banu bisine nge bakariho bani mu mbi byakweba ani mbu: ‹Ani ntí nge Kirisitu, ina namatumwa imusondore.› 29Euri n'emumina ngu wakuheruka nge muheruchi. Ani niri ho buri mira w'emuheruchi, na nasimana kumushi nae na namashima irukira emurenge wae. Muriira, emurimo uno namoere o nguru. 30Na ngebumbo rakomenwa ebusime bwae butaye, n'ebwani buhite.

31«Ewatuka mu mbingu uri hiyo n'ebiti. Nangu uri muchuo ntw'echuo, nae webange binwa by'echuo. Ewatuka mu mbingu uri hiyo n'ebiti. 32Iwe nge kariho byambi ebyakusunga we n'irukira, ina kusira ngu eusimirange byo. 33Kinsi wasimira ekariho kae, iwe washea mbu Ongo nge mine riira. 34Ewatumwa na Ongo, webanga binwa bya Ongo, bushwa mbu Ongo umurisianga eMutima wae euti. 35Tita Ongo washima Musike wae, nae wamaria ebikai biti mu mine yae. 36Ingu wasimira Musike wa Ongo, uri n'ekaramo k'ematu ati. Ingu watina isimira Musike wa Ongo watashei ekaramo. Warika, na ntí Ongo wamusubuke.»
