Asi muchinda woushe hwavaPeresia akandidzivisa mazuva ana makumi maviri nerimwe; asi tarira, Mikaeri, mumwe wamachinda makuru, akauya kuzondibatsira, ndikasarako kuna madzimambo avaPeresia. Zvino ndauya kuzokuzivisa zvichaitirwa vanhu vako namazuva okupedzisira; nokuti zvawakaratidzwa ndezvamazuva mazhinji achazouya.’ “Zvino akati ataura neni namashoko iwayo, ndikaramba ndakatarira pasi nechiso changu, ndikashayiwa shoko. Ipapo tarira, mumwe akafanana navanakomana vavanhu akagunzva miromo yangu; zvino ndikashamisa muromo wangu, ndikataura, ndikati kuna iye akanga amire pamberi pangu, ‘Aiwa, ishe wangu, ndabatwa nokutya kukuru, handichina simba nokuda kwezvandakaratidzwa. Nokuti muranda washe wangu uyu angataura seiko nashe wangu uyu? Nokuti kana ndirini, pakarepo ndakasara ndisina simba, uye ndakanga ndisisina mweya mukati mangu.’ “Ipapo mumwe akafanana nomunhu akandibatazve, akandisimbisa. Akati, ‘Iwe murume anodikanwa kwazvo, usatya hako; rugare ruve newe, iva nesimba, iva nesimba.’ Zvino akati achitaura neni, ndikasimbiswa, ndikati, ‘Ishe wangu ngaataure hake, nokuti makandisimbisa.’ “Zvino akati, ‘Unoziva chandakauyira kwauri here? Zvino ndichadzokera kundorwa nomuchinda wePeresia; kana ndabvapo, tarira, muchinda weGirisi achauya. Asi ndichakuudza zvakanyorwa murugwaro rwechokwadi; asi hakuna anozvisimbisa kundorwa navava pamwechete neni, asi Mikaeri muchinda wenyu.’
