To me it requires that they both have the property {le ka ce'u barda}.
The second one also requires that both have the te frica as property,
but one has {le ka ce'u ja'a barda} and the other {le ka ce'u na
barda}. So the two sentences have different meanings.

Each would be acceptable to me, but not both. They correspond
to the two most common meanings {ni} has.
