ISITYHILELO 9

₁Emva koko isithunywa sesihlanu salivuthela ixilongo laso. Ndabona inkwenkwezi eyayiwe emhlabeni, inikwa isitshixo somwonyo oya enzonzobileni. ₂Yawuvula umwonyo wenzonzobila. Kwaphuma umsi kuwo, owawungathi uvela kwizikokazi lomlilo. Loo msi walisitha ilanga nomoya. ₃Kwavela iinkumbi, ziphuma kuloo msi, zeza emhlabeni. Zazinolwamvila olufana nolukanomadudwane. ₄Zaziyalelwe ukuba ze zingayichukumisi ingca, naso nasiphi na isityalo okanye umthi. Zazithunyelwe kubantu ababengaphawulwanga ngophawu lukaThixo ebunzi. ₅Zazithunyelwe ukubathuthumbisa iinyanga ezintlanu ngobuhlungu obufana nolwamvila lukanomadudwane, kodwa zingabulali. ₆Ngelo xesha abantu boba bekufuna ukufa, kube kona ukufa kungafumaneki. Bokunqwenela ukufa, kodwa kona kubaphambe.

₇Ezo nkumbi zazikhangeleka ngathi ngumkhosi wamahashe uxhabashele emfazweni. Entloko zazitsho ngezinto ezazingathi zizithsaba zegolide, zinobuso obufana nobomntu. ₈Zazitsho ngeenwele ezinde, zinamazinyo afana nawengonyama. ₉Zazifake izikhuselo-sifuba ezingathi zezentsimbi. Isandi sokurhatshaza kwamaphiko azo sasivakala ngathi sisandi seenqwelo zamahashe zisinga edabini. ₁₀Imisila yazo yayifana neyoonomadudwane, inolwamvila. Babusemsileni apho ubuhlungu bokuthuthumbisa abantu iinyanga ezintlanu. ₁₁Inkosi yazo yayisisithunywa sasenzonzobileni. Igama layo lalinguAbhadon ngesiHebhere, uApoliyon ngesiGrike.

₁₂Lidlule ishwangusha lokuqala. Kodwa aseza amabini.

₁₃Salivuthela ixilongo laso isithunywa sesithandathu. Ndeva ilizwi livela phakathi kweempondo zeqonga lamadini legolide, elaliphambi kukaThixo. ₁₄Lathi kwisithunywa sesithandathu esasiphethe ixilongo masizikhulule izithunywa ezine ezazibotshelelwe kumlambokazi iEfrati. ₁₅Zakhululwa zozine ezo zithunywa ukuba zibulale isiqingatha sesithathu soluntu. Zazihleli zilimiselwe kakade eli thuba, kanye ngalo nyaka nangale nyanga, ngalo mhla kanye nangeli xesha. ₁₆Ndalixelelwa inani lemikhosi yamahashe. Yayingamakhulu amabini ezigidi. ₁₇Waba nje umbono endaba nawo wamahashe nabo bawakhweleyo: Babetsho ngezikhuselo-sifuba ezibomvu, nezizuba, nezimthubi. Amahashe iintloko zazifana nentloko yengonyama. Ayephuma umlilo ngomlomo, kuqhuma umsi nesalfa. ₁₈Kwabulawa isiqingatha sesithathu soluntu ngezi zibetho zozithathu zomlilo, nomsi, nesalfa. ₁₉Ubuhlungu bala mahashe babusemlonyeni nasemisileni. Imisila yayineentloko ngathi ziinyoka. Ayeluma ngayo imisila.

₂₀Amasalela abantu abasindayo kweso sibetho akazange ahlukane nezithixo awayezenzele. Akazange ayeke ukunqula iindimoni nezithixo ezaziqingqwe ngegolide nesiliva nobhedu, amatye nangomthi, izinto ezazingenako nokubona nokuva nokushukuma oku. ₂₁Akazange azisole nokuzisola ngobugebenga, nobugqwirha, ukurheletya, nobututu bawo.
