Umbhotjhongo weBhabheli
1Iphasi loke belinelimi linye nekulumo yinye. 2Kwathi lokha abantu nabakhambakhamba ngepumalanga, bafunyana ibala enarheni yeTjhinari, banzinza lapho.
3Bathi omunye komunye: “Yizani senzeni iintina sizibhage ziqine.”
Basebenzisa iintina esikhundleni samatje, isikontiri esikhundleni sedaka. 4Bathi: “Yizani sizakhele idorobho libe nombhotjhongo ophakamela ezulwini. Lokhu kuzasenzela ibizo begodu singasabalali nephasi loke.”
5Nje-ke uSomnini wehla bonyana azokubona idorobho nombhotjhongo ogade wakhiwa babantu. 6USomnini wathi: “Akhese nithi niyaqala, abantwaba bamunye begodu boke bakhuluma limi linye. Yeke bazakghona ukwenza nanyana yini abayitlamako. 7Nambani sehleni, sifese siraranise ilimi labo ukuze bangasakwazi ukuzwana nabakhulumisanako.”
8Ukusuka lapho uSomnini wabasabalalisa iphasi loke, bebalisa ukwakha idorobho. 9Kungebangelo libizwa bona yiBhabheli ngombana lapho uSomnini wararanisa ilimi labantu boke begodu ukusuka lapho wabasabalalisa iphasi loke.
