13Leha ho le jwalo, banna bao ba leka ka matla ho sokela sekepe lebopong, empa ba sitwa, hobane lewatle le ne le befile, le ntse le tuduana. 14Kahoo ba ipiletsa ho Morena, ba re: “Oho, Morena, o se ke wa re timetsa, wa re re bolaile monna enwa. O se ke wa re bea molato wa ho tsholla madi a se nang molato, hobane wena Morena, o entse se o kgahlang.”
