Ngobe angahle akhale ngani kuSimakadze, bese-ke nine nitfolakala ninelicala lesono. 10Mupheni ngaphandle kwenhlitiyo lebubulako nalenemagcubu; ngobe ngenca yaloko Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu uyawunibusisa emsebentini wenu wonkhe nakuko konkhe lenikwenta ngetandla tenu. 11Bantfu labamphofu bayawuhlala bakhona njalo nje eveni. Ngako-ke ngiyaniyala ngitsi banini ngulabephanako kubomnakenu, nakulabamphofu, nalabeswele eveni lenu.”
