The Beginning – Day 14

Itekisi yeBhayibhile

₅Zabekwa nguw' iziseko zomhlaba

ze zingashuku-shukunyiswa bani.

₆Wawugquma ngenzonzobil' olwandle,

wang' uwambes' ingubo,

atshw' amanzi azithi gqume iintaba.

₇Uthe wakuwakhalimel' abaleka;

zakuvakal' iindudumo zezwi lakho,

aphaphathek' elatyuza.

₈Ehl' iintaba neenduli, abhek' ezantsi,

apho wawuthe maze aye khona.

₉Kaloku wamis' imid' amanz' angegqithi kuyo,

hlez' aphind' awugubungel' umhlaba.

We begin the year declaring the truth that God created the heavens and earth and proclaiming that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.
