81Nkulunkulu wamkhumbula Nowa, netilwane tonkhe, kanye nato tonkhe tifuyo labenato emkhunjini. Nkulunkulu waletsa umoya waphuphutsa etikwemhlaba, emanti etja. 2Tiyalu temhlaba tavaleka, emafasitelo elizulu avaleka, imvula yahhamuka. 3Emanti aya ngekuya etja emhlabeni. Emvakwemalanga lali-150 emanti ancipha. 4Ngelilanga leli-17, enyangeni yesikhombisa umkhumbi watinta etikwetintsaba tase-Ararathi. 5Emanti achubeka nekwetja, kwadzimate kwatsi ngelilanga lekucala enyangeni yelishumi, tihloko tetintsaba tavela tabonakala.
6Ekupheleni kwemalanga langema-40 Nowa walivula lelifasitelo labelakhile. 7Watfumela lihubhulu, kodvwa alizange libuye, lazulazula kwaze kwasha emanti emhlabeni. 8Wase utfumela lituba kutsi liyewuhlola kutsi emanti asanciphile yini emhlabatsini. 9Kepha lituba lehluleka kutfola indzawo, ngisho neyekubeka lunyawo lwalo, lancandzeka labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngobe emanti abesemanyenti emhlabeni wonkhe.
