Kuzwa kaindi, Saatani wabunganya lunyungu lwakwe mutubunga tusiyene-siyene twatwaambo twacisi naa mami.

Nkaambo nzi kaambo aaka ncokayandika kapati? Akaambo kakuti kapandulula ncokuli buyo bami bali lusele ibajisi nguzu kapati ibaambidwe muzilengaano zya Daniele alimwi a Johane.

Ziindi zinji, bana Roma bakali kuyanda kwiinyonyoona mbungano ya Banakristo, cibeela cabili calunyungu.c
