Wena ulusizwe olungcwele kuBawo wakho; uBawo wakho wakunyula ezizweni zonke ezisemhlabeni ukuba ube ngabantu bakhe, abayinqobo kuye. UBawo wakho akakuthandanga wakunyula ngenxa yokuba ubuninzi kunezinye izizwe—ngokuba ubumbalwa kwizizwe zonke. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba uBawo wakho ekuthanda, nokuba esigcina isifungo awasifungela ooyihlo, wakukhupha ngesandla esithe nkqi, wakukhulula endlwini yobukhoboka, esandleni sikaFaro ukumkani waseYiputa. Yazi: uBawo wakho nguye uBawo wethu, oThembekileyo ogcina umnqophiso nenceba kwizizukulwana eziliwaka, kwabo bamthandayo, bayigcinayo imithetho yakhe; kodwa obuyisela kwabamthiyileyo ebusweni babo, abatshabalalise; akazeki kade ukumbuyisela ebusweni bakhe omthiyileyo. Ngoko uwugcine umthetho—imimiselo namasiko—endikuwiselayo namhlanje, uwenze.

Ngenxa yokuba niwaphulaphula la masiko, niwagcina niwenza, uBawo wakho wokugcinela umnqophiso nenceba awawufungela ooyihlo.

Woba usikelelwe ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke; akuyi kubakho dlolo kuwe, nokuba yindoda nokuba yinkazana, kungenjalo neenkomo zakho. UBawo wakho wosisusa kuwe sonke isifo, angabeki phezu kwakho nasinye kubulwelwe obubi baseYiputa owabwaziyo, kodwa wobubeka phezu kwabo bonke abakuthiyileyo. Zitshabalalise zonke izizwe akunikele zona uBawo wakho. Uze ungazihawukeli, ungabakhonzi oothixo bazo—oko koba ngumgibe kuwe. Ukuba uthi entliziyweni yakho: Ezi ntlanga zinkulu kunam; ndingathini na ukuzigqogqa? uze ungazoyiki. Khumbula kakuhle oko uBawo wakho akwenzayo kuFaro nakumaYiputa onke: izilingo ezikhulu azibonayo amehlo akho, imiqondiso kwanezimanga, nesandla esithe nkqi nengalo eyolukileyo, awathi ngazo wakukhupha uBawo wakho. Uya kwenjenjalo uBawo wakho kuzo zonke izizwe ozoyikayo. UBawo wakho wothuma oonomeva phakathi kwazo, bade bafe abaseleyo nabazimele kuwe. Uze ungankwantyi phambi kwazo, kuba uBawo wakho uphakathi kwenu, nguBawo wethu omkhulu owoyikekayo. UBawo wakho wozigqogqa ezi ntlanga phambi kwakho kancinane.
