Hei wena wena xihanyanomo Embilweni ya wena ku na nchomo. Swa mesaba sweswi herile Ku lo sala sweswi vhula vhula Kambe mintirho ya ku havha Hika rhele wena xihanyanomo Entilweni ku ka ngene Ku ta ngena la bu thenga Ba la tirela ka shikwembu A ku ka ngeni ya xihanyanomo. Hey, loud-mouth, your heart is empty. Earthly things have passed, what remains is just talk. No deeds at all, not those without deeds. You can’t go to heaven, only truthful people go in. Because you talk loud, not those without deeds. Loud mouth!
