ISITYHILELO 8

₁Ke kaloku iXhwane laluqhaqha uphawu lwesixhenxe. Kwathi nzwanga ezulwini isithuba esingangecala leawara enye. ₂Emva koko ndabona izithunywa ezisixhenxe ezima phambi koThixo, zinikwa amaxilongo asixhenxe.

₃Esinye isithunywa esasiphethe isitya sokuqhumisa segolide seza kuma ngaseqongeni lesiqhumiso. Sanikwa isiqhumiso esininzi, ukuze sisinikele kunye nemithandazo yayo yonke imilowo phezu kweqonga legolide elaliphambi kwesihlalo sokulawula. ₄Umsi wenyukela kuThixo kunye nemithandazo yemilowo, isithunywa simenzela isiqhumiso. ₅Isithunywa ke sithathe isitya sesiqhumiso sasizalisa ngomlilo esasiwuthathe eqongeni apho, sasiphosa ezantsi emhlabeni. Ngoko nangoko kwabakho ukugqekreza kweendudumo nokutshawuza kombane, wanyikima umhlaba.

₆Izithunywa ezisixhenxe ezaziphethe amaxilongo asixhenxe, ngoku zalungela ukuwavuthela.

₇Salivuthela esokuqala isithunywa ixilongo laso. Kwawa isichotho nomlilo, zixutywe negazi. Satsha nqu isiqingatha sesithathu somhlaba. Isiqingatha sesithathu seendidi zonke zemithi, nalo lonke uhlobo lwengca lwatsha lwaphela.

₈Salivuthela ixilongo laso nesesibini isithunywa. Kwaba ngathi intabakazi enkulu iphoswe elwandle ivutha; sathi isiqingatha sesithathu solwandle saba ligazi. ₉Kwafa isiqingatha sesithathu sazo zonke iindidi zezinto ezihlala elwandle. Kwatshabalala isiqingatha sesithathu sazo zonke iinqanawa.

₁₀Nesesithathu salivuthela elaso ixilongo. Kwathi qithi into enkulu yenkwenkwezi ezulwini, ivutha ililahle. Yawela phezu kwesiqingatha sesithathu semilambo nemithombo. ₁₁Le nkwenkwezi kwakusithiwa ukubizwa kwayo nguKrakrayo. Saza ke isiqingatha sesithathu sawo onke amanzi saba krakra njengokrakrayo, kwafa inyambalala yabantu ngokuwasela.

₁₂Salivuthela nesesine isithunywa ixilongo laso. Kwabakho ukugqabhuka kwesiqingatha sesithathu selanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi, isiqingatha sesithathu sazo asabi nakukhanya. Sathi ke nesiqingatha semini asabi nakukhanya, kwaba njalo nasebusuku.

₁₃Kuthe kusenjalo ndabona ukhozi luphaphazela phezu kwam. Ndaluva lukhala lusithi: “Yhoo! Yhoo! Yhoo, abantu bomhlaba! Yazi boba yini na zakuvakala izandi zamanye amaxilongo amathathu xa ziwavuthela izithunywa ezithathu!”
