5 And God put [it] into my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, into companies: and I found a register of the company that came up first, and I found written in it as follows:
UNkulunkulu wami wasenika enhliziyweni yami ukuthi ngibuthanise izikhulu lababusi labantu ukuthi babhalwe ngezizukulwana. Ngasengithola ugwalo lwezizukulwana zalabo abenyuka kuqala, ngathola kubhalwe kulo:
