I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth... When He marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him, rejoicing in His inhabited world, and my delight was with the sons of men."
A ndzi ri kona loko a lunghiselela matilo; . . . hi nkarhi wolowo a ndzi ri etlhelo ka yena ndzi ri mutirhi la nga ni vuswikoti, a ndzi ri munhu loyi a n'wi rhandzaka hilaha ku hlawulekeke siku ni siku, mina ndzi tsakile emahlweni ka yena nkarhi hinkwawo, . . . naswona swilo leswi a ndzi swi rhandza a swi ri ni vana va vanhu."
