Bamehlule ngengati yeliWundlu nangelivi lebufakazi babo, ngobe abakutsandzanga kuphila kwabo kwaze kwabasekufeni.

Ngeva livi lelikhulu ezulwini litsi: “Nyalo insindziso, nemandla, nebukhosi sekwaNkulunkulu wetfu, neligunya selaKhristu wakhe; ngobe sewulahlelwe phansi ummangaleli lomangalela bazalwane betfu kuNkulunkulu, imini nebusuku.

Nyokangwenya lomkhulu walahlelwa phansi, leya nyoka yasemandvulo, lebitwa ngekutsi nguMhlebi nome nguSathane, uMkhohlisi wemhlaba wonkhe. Wajikijelwa phansi emhlabeni kanye netingilosi takhe.
