Na diboko ya yandi ya lubakala ya kele na kidimbu yina dzeke me soola samu na Yelusalemi. Bawu ke tula binwanunu yina kele mutindu yintu ya dimeme ya mbakala, samu na kutobola bibaka. Yandi sala milolo ya mvita, yandi ke tumisa binwani samu na kunwana. Bawu ke tula binwanunu yina kele mutindu yintu ya dimeme ya mbakala na myelo ya mbanza. Binwani ke tula ba saki ya ntoto pene-pene ya bibaka samu na kuyuluka mpe bawu ke timuna mabulu samu na kubumbama.
