2 Mna ndenze unako-nako ndiqokelela izinto ezingamalungiselelo okwakha indlu kaThixo: oozigolide kumsebenzi oza kwenziwa ngegolide, isiliva kwizinto eziza kwenziwa ngesiliva, ubhedu kwizinto eziza kwenziwa ngobhedu, intsimbi kwizinto eziza kwenziwa ngentsimbi, kanti nomthi kwezomthi; namatye axabisekileyo okuhombisa: oozionike noomatekosi, amatye amibala-bala, nazo zonke iindidi zamatye axabisekileyo nemàbhula. Zonke ke ezi zinto zikho ngendlu yazo.
3 Ngaphezu koko ke ngangokuba ndizinikezele kule ndlu kaThixo wam, ngoku ndinikezela ngobutyebi bam, igolide nesiliva, khon' ukuze kwakhiwe indlu kaThixo wam.
4 Ezi ke izinto zithe geqe kumalungiselelo endiwenzileyo okwakha le ndlu ingcwele ngaphezu kweetoni ezilikhulu zegolide yodidi, nesiliva ecwengileyo ekwisithuba seetoni ezingamakhulu amabini namashumi amane. Ke yona yeyokuhombisa iindonga zendlu kaThixo,
