10. “Wakuba uwavakalisile onke la mazwi, abantu baza kubhekisa kuwe besithi: ‘Kungani na ukuba uNdikhoyo asimisele intlekele engaka? Buyini na ubugwenxa bethu? Siyini na isono sethu esimone ngaso uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu?’
11. Uze wena ubaphendule uthi: ‘Kungenxa yokuba ooyihlo-mkhulu bandishiya, balandela oothixo basemzini, babakhonza, baqubuda kubo. Mna bandifulathela, abawuthobela umyalelo wam.’ Lowo ngumlomo kaNdikhoyo.
12. ‘Kodwa nina niziphethe kakubi nabadlula ookhokho benu: nako elowo elandela ukuqaqadeka kwentliziyo yakhe ekhohlakeleyo endaweni yokuba andiphulaphule mna.
13. Ndiza kunikhupha kulo mhlaba, ndinise kwilizwe eningalaziyo nina kunye nooyihlo. Apho nonqula *thixo bambi imini nobusuku, kuba andiyi kunisizela konke mna.’ ”
14. Nguwo lo umlomo *kaNdikhoyo: “Inene, iyeza imihla ekungayi kuba safungwa kuthiwe: ‘Ekho nje uNdikhoyo owakhulula amaSirayeli eJiputa.’
15. Koko baza kuthi: ‘Ekho nje uNdikhoyo owakhulula amaSirayeli kumhlaba wangasentla nakwamanye amazwe awayewagxothele kuwo.’ Ndiza kuwabuyisela kowawo umhlaba endawunika ooyise-mkhulu.”
16. Nguwo lo umlomo *kaNdikhoyo: “Niyabona, ndiza kuthumela abalobi beentlanzi abaninzi, baze kubambisa aba bantu, emva koko ndithumele abazingeli abaninzi babazingele kuzo zonke iinduli nakuzo zonke iintaba, nasezimfanteni zamawa.
17. Ndiyayibona into abayenzayo; akukho nto isitheleyo kum; ndiyabubona bonke ubugwenxa babo.
18. Kuqala ndobabuyekeza ngokuphinda-phindiweyo ngenxa yobugwenxa babo nesono sabo, kuba baxabhele umhlaba olilifa lam ngoonomgogwana bezithixo zabo ezingamasikizi alizothe.”
19. *Ndikhoyo, mandla am, nqaba yam,mkhuseli wam ngamaxesha eembandezelo,ziya kuza kuwe iintlanga,zivela eziphelweni zehlabathi,zifike zithi:“Inene, oobawo babebambelele kwizinto zobuxoki,bekhonza oothixo abangamampunge, abangancedi lutho.”
20. Kakade umntu angazenzela uthixo?Hayi bo! Into enjalo ayinakuze ibe nguThixo.
21. Ke ngoko uNdikhoyo uthi:“Niyabona, ngesi sihlandlo ndiza kubafundisa,ndibazise amandla am nokomelela kwam,bandazi ukuba ndinguNdikhoyo igama lam.”
