1 Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kubantwana babantu bakho, uthi kubo: ‘Lapho ngehlisela phezu kwezwe inkemba, abantu bezwe bese bethatha umuntu phakathi kwabo, bambeke umlindi wabo,
3 nalapho yena esebona inkemba yehla phezu kwezwe, abethe icilongo, axwayise abantu,
4 okuzwayo ukukhala kwecilongo angaxwayi kodwa, bese yehla inkemba, imsuse, igazi lakhe liyakuba sekhanda lakhe.
5 Ukukhala kwecilongo wakuzwa, kepha akaxwayanga; igazi lakhe liyakuba kuye; uma exwayile, nga ezophulile.
