¹ Emnyakeni wekucala waBhelijaza iNkhosi yaseBhabhilona, Danyela waba neliphupho kanye nemibono engcondvweni yakhe aseselele embhedzeni wakhe. Wase ubhala phansi lakubona kuleliphupho. Wabhala phansi lokumcokwa kuloku bekakubonile: ² Danyela wachaza, ''Embonyweni wami ebusuku ngibone kutsi lemimoya lemine yelizulu lihhushise iphakamisa lwandle lolukhulu. ³ Tilwane letinkhulu letine, ngasinye sato sihlukile kuletinye, taphumela ngaphandle kwelwandle. ⁴ Lesekucala besifanana nelibhubesi kepha sinetimphiko telusweti. Ngisabuka, timphiko tato tajubeka futsi tab ese tiphakanyiswelwa etulu tisuswa emhlabatsini tentiwa tema ngentidladla letimbili, njengemuntfu. Ingcondvo yemuntfu yaniketwa tona. ⁵ Ngako kwabese kuba nesilwane sesibili, njengelibhubesi, futsi lihamba ligoba, linetimbambo letintsatfu emkhatsini wematinyo emlonyeni walo. Latjelwa, 'Vuka ubhubhise bantfu bami.' ⁶ Emvakwaloku ngabuka futsi. Bekunalesinye silwane, lesasibukeka njengegwe. Ngemuva kwaso sasitinsiba letine tifana netenyoni, futsi sinetinhloko letine. Sanikwa emandla ekubusa. ⁷ Emvakwa loku ngabona kuleliphupho lasebusuku silwaneni sesine, kwetfuka, kwesaba, futsi kakhulu. kunematinyo lamakhulu ensimb; kwadla, kwafa kwabatincetu, futsi kwahamba pansi kwetinyawo kwasileka lebekusele.Kwakwehlukene hlukene kuletinye tilwane , futsi kwakunetimphondvo letilishumi. ⁸ Ngesikhatsi ngisabuka ketimhondvo, Ngabuka ngase ngibona lelinye liphondvo likhula phakatsi kwabo, liphondvo lelincane. TIntsatfu walamalaphondvo ekucala tahluphulwa ngetimphondvo ngimphandze tato. Ngabona kuloluphondvo lwemehlo nje nge mehlo emuntfu nemlomo lebewukhuluma kuchoma ngetintfo letinkhulu. ⁹ Ngisabuka , tihlalo betibekwe ngetindzawo, kanye nemalanga akadzeni atsatsa sihlalo sakhe. Timphahlatakhe tatimhlophe nje ngelicwa,futsi netinwele tenhloko yakhe betinjenge mtiya lohlobile. Lesihlalo sakhe sokhelwa ngelilangabi lemlilo, futsi nalamasondvo beka ngumlilo loshisako. ¹⁰ Umfula wemlilo wageleta ngaphandle embikwakhe, tinkhulungane tamsindzisa, futsi likhulu tigidzi betime embikwakhe. Lijele laliselimele kujaja,futsi netincwadzi tativuliwe. ¹¹ Ngachubeka ngabuka ngenca yalamagama ekutikhukhumeta lakhulunywa ngeluphondvo.Ngabuka ngesikhatsi lesilwane sibulawa, kanye nemtimba waso ubhujiswa futsi kwanikelwa kutsi kushiswe. ¹² Nakunguletilwane letine, emagunya ato ekubusa atsatfwa kuto, kepha timphilo tawo tangetwa sikhashane. ¹³ Kulombono wami kolobusuku, ngabona munye agcamuka ngelifu lelizulu nje ngendvodzana yemuntfu; Wefika kukuletikhatsi temalanga futs wabonakala phambi kwakhe. ¹⁴ Emandla ekubusa ekudumisa nemandla ebukhosi anikwa kuye khona bonkhe labantfu, tive, kanye netilwimi titomsindzisa. Lamandla akhe ekubusa ayinguna phakadze lengeke yendlule , futsi umbuso wakhe utongiwo longeke ubulawe. ¹⁵ Njengamanje, moya wami tfukytsela ngekhatsi kwam, futsi lombono lengawubona engcondvweni yami yangihlupha. ¹⁶ Ngacela munye wabo lomile khona kutsi angitjele tichazelo taloku ¹⁷ Lesilwane lesi lesikhulu, sine ngelinombolo, tinkhosi letine letito vuswa emhlabeni. ¹⁸ Kepha labantfu labangcwele labaphakeme kakhulu batokwemukela umbuso, futsi batowuphatsa ingunaphakadze; ¹⁹ Ngako ngafuna kwati kakhulu ngalesilwane sesine- besehlukile kuleti letinye futsi setfusa ngematinyo aso ensimbi nelitfusi lwetidlaldla; lwadla, lwephula lwaba tincetu, sanyatsela kulo bekusele ngetinyawo taso. ²⁰ Ngafuna kwati ngaleliphondvo lwelishumi enhloko yaso, nangaleli lelinye luphondvo lelakhula etulu, fusti nakucala lamaphondvo lammatsatfu awela phansi. Bengifuna kwati ngaloluphondvo belinemehlo nangelomlomo bewukhuluma kuchoma ngetintfo letinkhulu futsi lebetibukeka titinkhulu kwenca lamanye emaphondvo. ²¹ Nje ngoba ngibuka, letimphondvo betihlasela lemphi betimelelane nebantfu labangcwele futsi babancoba. ²² Kuze kufike tikhatsi takadzeni. futsi bubele banikwa kulabantfu labangcwele lophakeme. Ngako sikhatsi sefika khani labantfu labangcwele bemukela umbuso. ²³ Nguloku lokushiwo ngulomuntfu, 'nje ngalesilwane sesine, kutokuba ngumbuso wesine emhlabeni lotowehluka kuyoyonkhe leminye imibuso. Kutobulala umhlaba wonkhe, futsi kutongehlisela phansi bese ukubulala kuba tincetu. ²⁴ Nje ngelishumi letimphondvo, ngaphandle kwalombuso tinkhosi letilishumi titovuka kuletayitolo, futsi utohlula letinkhosi letintsatfu. ²⁵ Utokhuluma emavi amelelane nekuphakama lokukhulu futsi utochindzetela labantfu labangcwele bankulunklu lophakeme. Tozama kushintja tikhatsi temichimbi nemitsetfo. Letintfo leti titoniketwa esandleni sakho umnyaka munye, iminyaka lemibili, kanye nahhafu wemnyaka. ²⁶ Kepha lelijele litohlangana, futsi batotsatsa emandla embuso wakhe kutsi kudliwe bese kuyabulawa ekugcineni. ²⁷ Lombuso nalamandla, nebukhulu balemibuso ngaphansi kwalolonkhe lizulu, litonikwa labantfu labangaphansi kwebantfu labangcwele labaphakeme. Umbuso wakhe ungunaphakadze, nayo yonkhe leminye imibuso itobusiswa bese iyamtfobela.' ²⁸ Lana kusekugcineni kwalenkinga. Ngakimi, Danyela, imicabango yami yabanga umsindvo kakhulu kimi nebuso bami bashintja ngesimo. Kepha ngakugcina loku kimi.''
