16 kagrane nagaka'anena ventefintira atreta fegi'a atiramiho. Ventefima mani'naza zagagafane, namaramine, mika mopafi vano nehaza zagaraminena, zamavare atrege'za mopafi vu'za eza nehu'za kase hakare hu'za maniho.

Konke okuphilayo okulawe, kuyo yonke inyama, eyenyoni leyesifuyo leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela emhlabeni, phuma lakho; ukuze kuzale kwande emhlabeni, kuzale, kwande phezu komhlaba.
18 Anage hige'za Noaki, nenaroki, mofavre naga'ane, anoferahe'zane atirami'naze.
UNowa wasephuma, lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe, labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye.
19 Hagi ana zagagafane, ne'onse zagaramine, nama zagane, mika vanoma nehaza zagaramina, zamagrare zamagrare erizogi'za ventefintira atirmi'naze.

20 Anantera, Noa'a Ra Anumzamofonte Kresramana vu ita trohuteno, mago'a avusese zagagafafinti'ene avusese namafinti'enena aheno mika Kresramana vu'ne.
UNowa waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi; wathatha kuso sonke isifuyo esihlambulukileyo, lakuyo yonke inyoni ehlambulukileyo, wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Kresramana vu'nea mana'a nentahino muse nehuno amanage hu'ne, vahe'mo'za kumi'ma hanaza zankura mago'anena ama mopa eri havizana osugahue.

INkosi yasisizwa uqhatshi olumnandi; iNkosi yasisithi enhliziyweni yayo: Kangisayikuphinda ngiqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yomuntu, ngoba ukuceba kwenhliziyo yomuntu kubi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe; futhi kangisayikuphinda ngitshaye konke okuphilayo njengalokhu ngenzile.
22 Ama ana mopa me'nenkeno maka'zana me'nena hoza negri'za, kafigahaze. Zasi'ma hu kna ne'enkeno, amuhoma hu kna egahie. Ko' aru knane zagegnanena nemenkeno, zagene hanine nehanigeno ana maka'zana vaga oregahie.
Ngazo zonke izinsuku zomhlaba, ukuhlanyela lokuvuna, lamakhaza lokukhudumala, lehlobo lobusika, lemini lobusuku, kakuyikuphela.
