UmShumayeli 1:2-8

“Ize leze,” usho uMshumayeli, “ize leze, konke kuyize.” Kuyinzuzoni kumuntu ngawo wonke umshikashika wakhe awushikashikayo phansi kwelanga na? Isizukulwane siyamuka, isizukulwane siyeza, kepha umhlaba umi phakade. Ilanga liyaphuma, ilanga liyashona, lishesha ukuya endaweni yalo lapho liphuma khona. Umoya uya ngaseningizimu, uzungeze, uye ngasenyakatho; uzungazungeza njalo ekuhambeni kwawo, nasekuzungezeni kwawo umoya uyabuyela. Yonke imifula iyangena elwandle, kepha ulwandle alugcwali; endaweni eya kuyo imifula, ibuye iye khona njalo. Zonke izinto ziyakhandleka, akakho ongakuphimisa; iso alisuthi ngokubona, nendlebe ayigcwali ngokuzwa.
