UGenesisi 3

17 Ku-Adamu wathi, "Ngoba ulalele umkakho wadla isihlahla engakulaya ngathi, ‘Ungasidli,’

Uqalekisiwe umhlabathi ngenxa yakho;

ngokusebenza nzima uzakudla okuphuma kuwo

zonke insuku zokuphila kwakho.

18 Uzamila ameva lezihlahlakazana zameva azahlaba wena,

njalo uzakudla izihlahla zeganga.

19 Ngezithukuthuku zebunzi lakho

uzakudla ukudla kwakho

uze ubuyele emhlabathini,

njengoba wathathwa kuwo;

ngoba uluthuli

njalo uzabuyela othulini."
