Akukho nto ke igqunyiweyo, engasayi kutyhilwa; nefihlakeleyo, engasayi kwaziwa. Ngenxa enokuba konke enikuthethe emnyameni, kuya kuviwa emhlotsheni; nenikuthethe endlebeni emagumbini, kuya kumenyezwa phezu kwezindlu.
Ndithi ke kuni, zihlobo zam, Musani ukuboyika abo babulala umzimba, baze emva koko bangabi nanto yimbi bangayenzayo. Ndiya kunibonisa ke énomoyika; yoyikani lowo uthi emva kokubulala, abe negunya lokuphosa esihogweni. Ewe, ndithi kuni, Yoyikani yena lowo. Àbathengiswa ngeepeni ezimbini na oongqatyana abahlanu?

Wathetha ke umzekeliso kubo, esithi, Umhlaba womntu othile osisityebi wachuma kakhulu; wayecamanga phakathi kwakhe, esithi, Ndiya kuthini na; ngokuba andinandawo ndiya kuzihlanganisela kuyo iziqhamo zam? Wathi, Nantsi into endiya kuyenza; ndiya kubawisa phantsi oovimba bam, ndakhe abangaphezulu kwabo; ndizihlanganisele khona zonke izilimo zam, nezinto zam ezilungileyo; ndithi kuwo umphefumlo wam, Mphefumlo, unezinto ezininzi ezilungileyo, ezibekelwe iminyaka emininzi; phumla, yidla, sela, yiba nemihlali.

Wathi ke kubo abafundi bakhe, Ngenxa yoko ndithi kuni, Musani ukubuxhalela ubomi benu, ngokuthi ningadla ntoni na; kwanomzimba, ngokuthi ningambatha ntoni na. Ubomi bukhulu kunokudla, nomzimba kunento yokwambatha.
Qondani ngamahlungulu la, ngokuba akahlwayeli, akavuni; kuwo akukho qonga navimba, kanti noko uThixo uyawondla; nina nibeke phi na ke, ukuzigqitha iintaka!

Ukuba ke ingca, leyo isendle, ethi namhla ibekho, ize ngomso iphoswe eziko, wenjenjalo uThixo ukuyambesa, wobeka phi na ke kuni, bantundini balukholo luncinane?
