“Ngethula umhlane wami kwabangishayayo,
nezihlathi zami kuye ohlwithe isilevu sami;
angibufihlanga ubuso bami
ekuthukweni nasekukhafuleni amathe.
Kodwa uMdali UNKULUNKULU, wangikhulula;
ngakho-ke angizange ngiphonswe phansi;
ngalokho ngenze ubuso bami balukhuni njengetshe
Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi ngeke ngidumale.
Useduze ongilungisisayo;
ngubani ongangimangalela na?
Ake siqhathanise!
Ubani omelene nami?
Sondela eduze kwami!
Ubaba uzongisiza;
ngubani ongangilahla na?
bheka, zonke lezi ziyakuba njengentambo njengengubo;
inundu liyakubaqeda.
Who of you nesaba Mdali NKULUNKULU
futhi uyalilalela izwi lomthumeli wakhe?
Noma ehamba ebumnyameni engenakukhanya,
thembela egameni loMdali UNKULUNKULU
futhi ancike kuYise!”
Ukukhanya kukhanya ebumnyameni,
futhi ubumnyama abuzange bufike kuwo.
(bheka iVangeli ngokukaJohane 1:5 futhi bheka u-Isaya 50:6-10)
