3kungabi-njengabazenza amakhosi phezu kwamabandla enabelwa wona, kodwa nibe-yizibonelo zomhlambi;
4kuyakuthi, nxa esebonakaliswa uMalusi omkhulu, niyakuzuza umqhele wenkazimulo ongabuniyo.
5Ngokunjalo, nina-basha, thobelani amalunga; kepha nonke yembathani ukuthobeka, nithobelane, ngokuba uNkulunkulu umelana nabazidlayo, kepha abathobekileyo ubapha umusa.
