Nginibhalela, bantwana abancane, ngoba izono zenu sezithethelelwe ngegama lakhe. Nginilobela nina bobaba, ngoba nimazile yena okhona kwasekuqaleni. Nginibhalela, bantu abasha, ngoba nimnqobile omubi.

Nginibhalele, bantu abasha, ngoba ninamandla futhi izwi likaNkulunkulu lihlala kini futhi nimnqobile omubi. Ungawuthandi umhlaba, noma izinto zomhlaba!
