17 Kulla khata hu zanib laakin fiyah zunuub ma yiwaddu al-naas le l-moot.
18 Naʼarfu kadar al-naas al-Allah sawwaahum iyaalah ma yaznubu wa Ibn Allah yahfadhum wa Ibliis al-chariir ma yagdar yalmashum.
19 Wa naʼarfu kadar aniina bas naas hana Allah wa kulla naas hana l-dunya gaaʼidiin fi iideen Ibliis.
