Nize ningayidli inyama yazo, ningasichukumisi isidumbu sazo. 9Kuzo zonke izinto eziphilileyo emanzini, ningadla nganto yonke enamaphiko namaxolo. 10Kodwa yonke into engenamaphiko namaxolo nize ningayidli—iyinqambi kuni. 11Ningayidla yonke intaka ehlambulukileyo. 12Kodwa zezi izinto eningayi kuzidla: ixhalanga, nenkqo, nenkqo emnyama, 13nosilwangangubo, nonomakhwezana, nentambanane ngohlobo lwayo, 14nehlungulu lonke ngohlobo lwalo, 15nenciniba, nesihuluhulu, nengabangaba, nentambanane ngohlobo lwayo, 16nesikhova, nefubesi, nenkuku yamanzi, 17nengcwangube, nexhalanga elidla izidumbu, nogwidi, 18nengwamza, nokhwalimanzi ngohlobo lwakhe, nobhobhoyi, nelulwane. 19Yonke inyakanyaka enamaphiko iyinqambi kuni; nize ningayidli. 20Kodwa yonke into enamaphiko ehlambulukileyo ningayidla.
