22 “I go inap long wanem taim, bai yupela ol man i sot long save i laikim pasin bilong sot long save?

Na i go inap long wanem taim, bai yupela ol longlong man i heitim pasin bilong kisim save?+
23 Bihainim tok mi givim bilong stretim yu.*+
Na bai mi kapsaitim strong bilong mi long yu;Bai mi mekim yu save long ol tok bilong mi.+
24 Mi bin singaut, tasol yu wok long sakim,Mi bin putim han bilong mi i go, tasol i no gat man i luksave,+

27 Taim samting yu pret long en i kam olsem bikpela win na ren,Na bikpela bagarap i kamap long yu olsem strongpela win,Taim pen na hevi na trabel i painim yu.
28 Long dispela taim, ol bai wok long singaut long mi, tasol mi no inap bekim singaut bilong ol;Ol bai wok strong long painim mi, tasol ol i no inap lukim mi,+
29 Bikos ol i bin heitim pasin bilong kisim save,+Na ol i no laik pret long Jehova.+
30 Ol i sakim edvais bilong mi;Ol i no rispektim olgeta tok mi givim bilong stretim ol.
31 Olsem na ol bai karim hevi long* pasin bilong ol,+Na ol bai pulap tru long ol plen bilong ol yet.
32 Pasin bikhet bilong ol man i sot long save bai kilim ol yet i dai,Na pasin bilong ol longlong man long ting ol i save pinis long olgeta samting, dispela bai bagarapim ol.
33 Tasol man i putim yau long mi bai sindaun gut,+Na pasin bilong pret long bagarap i kamap i no inap mekim em i tingting planti.”+
