Umshumayeli 12:1-8

Cabanga ngoMdali wakho emihleni yobusha bakho, zingakafiki izinsuku ezimbi, ingasondeli iminyaka, uma uthi: Angithokozi ngayo; Nakuba ilanga noma ukukhanya noma inyanga noma izinkanyezi akufiphazwa, namafu awabuyi ngemva kwemvula. Mhla abalindi bendlu bethuthumela, bakhothama abanamandla, nabasilayo beyeka, ngokuba bayingcosana, nababuka ngamafasitele babe mnyama; Iminyango iyakuvalwa emigwaqweni, lapho umsindo wokugedla uphansi, avuke ngezwi lenyoni, athotshiswe onke amadodakazi okuhlabelela; Futhi lapho besaba abaphezulu, futhi ukwesaba kuyoba endleleni, futhi um-alimondi uyoqhakaza, nesikhonyane siyakuba ngumthwalo, futhi ukufisa kuyaphela; ngokuba umuntu uya endlini yakhe ende, nabalilayo bahamba ezitaladini; Kungaze kugqashuke intambo yesiliva, noma isitsha segolide sigqabuke, noma imbiza iphukile ngasemthonjeni, noma kwephulwa isondo emthonjeni. Khona uthuli luyobuyela emhlabathini njengoba lwalunjalo, futhi umoya uyobuyela kuNkulunkulu owawunikayo. “Ize leze,” usho umshumayeli; konke kuyize.
