15 Huku apopila Ambalayau okuti: “Okupolelela hono, wahatumbule vali omukai wove okuti Salai,*+ mokonda enyina liae pahe o Sala.* 16 Mandyikemuyamba, andyikekwavela omona makatunda mwe;+ mandyikemuyamba, akala ovanthu votyilongo; mwe mamukatunda onohamba mbovanthu.” 17 Ambalayau elipetamena, ahimbika okuyola, elipopila momutima+ ati: “Okuti omulume ngaame una omanima 100 utyita omona? Sala una-le omanima 90 upondola okukutula?”+
18 Ambalayau apopila Huku yotyotyili okuti: “Ndyipeleya ñgeno Isimayeli ukala omunthu uhole!”+ 19 Huku emukumbulula okuti: “Sala, omukai wove mekupe omona omukwendye; muluka okuti Isake.*+ Mandyikalinga nae omphango maitwala-twalako atee pokati ketu na ava vakatuka mwe.*+ 20 Etyi waitila-ko Isimayeli natyo netyiiva. Tala! Mandyiyambe Isimayeli, andyimupe ovana. Ovana vae andyikevetyitisa unene. Mwe mamukatuka onohongoi 12, ngwe andyimulingi otyilongo otyinene.+ 21 Mahi mandyilingi omphango na Isake,+ omona Sala makutula nimali ngoopo.”+
