Inqaba yaseBhabheli
1Ngelo xesha abantu elizweni babethetha ulwimi olunye, besebenzisa namagama afanayo ezinto. 2Ke ekubhaduleni kwabo kwelasempumalanga bada baya kutsho kumathafa aseBhabheli, bema apho. 3Bathethana bathi: “Masenze izitena, sizitshise ziqine.” Baza ke basebenzisa ezo zitena endaweni yamatye, netha endaweni yodaka. 4Bathi ke: “Masakhe isixeko, senze nenqaba enencopho eya kutsho esibhakabhakeni, ukuze sibe negama nathi, singathi saa elizweni.”
5*UNdikhoyo wehla weza kusibona eso sixeko babesakhile nenqaba leyo, 6waza wathi: “Xa aba bantu beluhlanga olunye, bekwantetho-nye, sebeqala ngokwenjenje, abanakuxakwa nayintoni na abafuna ukuyenza. 7Yizani sihle, ulwimi lwabo silwenze lube yingxuba-kaxaka, khon' ukuze bangevani ngentetho.” 8Wabathi saa elizweni uNdikhoyo, àbasakha neso sixeko. 9Kwathiwa eso sixeko yiBhabheli, kuba kaloku uThixo wasuka wayenza ingxuba-kaxaka intetho yabantu. Ukusuka apho abantu bathi saa elizweni.
