13 1Inamba yema entlabathini yolwandle. Ndabona irhamncwa linyukayo liphuma elwandle, linempondo ezilishumi nentloko ezisixhenxe, nezithsaba ezilishumi ezimpondweni zalo, namagama anyelisa uThixo ezintlokweni zalo. 2Irhamncwa endalibonayo lalinjengengwe, iinyawo zalo zinjengezebhere, umlomo walo unjengowengonyama. Inamba yalinika amandla ayo, netrone yayo, negunya elikhulu. 3Enye yeentloko zalo yayibonakala ngathi yayingxwelerhwe kabuhlungu de yafa, kodwa inxeba layo laphiliswa. Ihlabathi liphela lamangaliswa, lalandela irhamncwa. 4Baqubuda kwinamba ngenxa yokunika kwayo irhamncwa igunya layo, baqubuda nasirhamncweni, bebuza besithi: “Ngubani onjengerhamncwa?

Nantso ke intembeko nokholo lwabangcwele.
