14 Ngoba isigodlo sizadelwa, inengi lomuzi lizatshiywa; inqaba lemiphotshongo kuzakuba yimihome kuze kube phakade, intokozo yabobabhemi beganga, lamadlelo emihlambi;
15 aze athululelwe phezu kwethu uMoya evela phezulu, lenkangala ibe yinsimu ethelayo, lensimu ethelayo ithiwe lihlathi.
16 Khona isahlulelo sizahlala enkangala, lokulunga kuhlale ensimini ethelayo.
