Naiɀoɀo ʋakagara’po ŋguʋa refu, ʋacitaura munaShe ʋasiŋgatyi; iye akapupurira shoko renyasha dzake, akaʋapa simba kuti ɀiratidzo neɀishamiso ɀiitwe namaʋoko aʋo. Asi ʋanhu ʋazhinji ʋeguta ʋakapesana, ʋamŋe ʋakaʋa kuʋaJuda, ʋamŋe kuʋaapostora. Ɀino ʋahedeni, naʋaJuda, naʋaɓati ʋaʋo ʋakati ʋaciʋaʋarira kuʋaitira ɀakaipa nokuʋataka namabge; iʋo ʋakaɀiziʋa, ʋakatizira Ristra neDerbe, aiʋa maguta eRikaonia, nokunyika yakapoteredza; ʋakaparidzira Evaŋgeri ikoko.
