Kwatsi chamu lihhashi lelimphofu, libito lemgibeli walo bekunguKufa, iHayidesi yamlandzela. Banikwa emandla etikwencenye yesine kukwemhlaba, kutsi bayibulale ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo lesingelapheki, nangetilwane tesiganga.

Kwatsi chamu lihhashi lelimhlophe, nalona labeligibele aphetse butjoki, wanikwa umchele, wahamba ancoba, ayawuncoba.

Latsi liWundlu nalicatulula luphawu lwesihlanu, ngabona lilati, ngaphansi kwalo kunemiphefumulo yalabo lababebulawelwe livi laNkulunkulu nebufakazi lababenabo.

Bamemeta kakhulu, ngelivi lelikhulu, batsi: “Nkhosi Somandla, longcwele naloliciniso, kuyawudzimate kube ngunini ungehluleli uphindzisele ingati yetfu kulabo labahleti emhlabeni?” Ngamunye ngamunye wabo wase unikwa ingubo lemhlophe; batjelwa kutsi ase baphumule kancane, kuze kuphelele linani lalababetinceku kanye nabo nebazalwane babo, lababesetawubulawa njengabo.

Kwaphindze kwatsi chamu lihhashi lelibovu. Lowo labeligibele wavunyelwa kutsi ayewususa kuthula emhlabeni, kuze bantfu babulalane bodvwana; wanikwa inkemba lenkhulu.

ngobe lilanga lelikhulu lelulaka labo selifikile. Ngubani longaba nemandla ekuma?”

Latsi liWundlu nalicatulula luphawu lwesitfupha, ngabona kutamatama lokukhulu kwemhlaba. Lilanga laba mnyama njengendvwangu yelisaka leboya, inyanga yaba njengengati. Tinkhanyeti tesibhakabhaka tavutfuteleka emhlabeni njengekuhhohloka kwemakhiwa lasengakavutfwa emkhiweni, nakuhhusha umoya lomkhulu.

LiWundlu laphindze lacatulula luphawu lwesitsatfu, ngase ngiva sidalwa sesitsatfu sitsi: “Wota!” Kwachamuka lihhashi lelimnyama, lona labeligibele aphetse silinganiso esandleni sakhe. Ngase ngiva livi shangatsi liphuma emkhatsini wetidalwa letine litsi: “Libinta lakolo wekudliwa ngelilanga lelingatsengwa ngeliholo lelilanga, nemabinta lamatsatfu emabele langatsengwa ngeliholo lelilanga; kepha ungawoni emafutsa neliwayini!”

Sibhakabhaka sanyamalala njengekugocotwa kwelicansi; tonkhe tintsaba netichingi tesuswa etindzaweni tato. Onkhe emakhosi emhlaba, netikhulu, netindvuna, nalabacebile, nalabanemandla, nabo bonkhe labatigcili, nalabakhululekile, babhaca emigedzeni nasemihumeni emkhatsini wemadvwala etintsaba.
