“O hutsafaletse go thatafatsa dipelo ga ntlo ya ga rraago, mme o eletsa poloko ya bone. Morena o tla tlotla dilelo tsa gago, mme ka dikatlholo tsa gagwe o tla dira gore bangwe ba bone ba ipone diphoso mme baikwatlhaele dibe tsa bone, fela e tla nna ka pogisego gore ba bolokwe. O tla bona malatsi a mantsi; ee, Morena o tlaa go boloka go fitlhelela o kgotsofala, gonne o tla bona Morekolodi wa gago. Pelo ya gago e tla ipelela tiro e kgolo ya Morena, mme ga go ope yo o tla tsayang go ipela ga gago.

“O tla gakologelwa masaitsiweng a magolo a Modimo wa gago mo go go letleleleng go tsamaya le morwaake fa moengele a mo neela tlhokomelo ya pego ya Banefi. O bone khutsafalo e ntsi gonne Morena o tsere mo go wena bana ba bararo: mo go seo ga o tlhoke go bonwa molato, gonne o itse dikeletso tsa gago tse di itshekileng go tlamela lelwapa, gore leina la morwaake le segofadiwe. Mme jaanong, bona, Ke a go raya, gore jaana go bua Morena, fa o ka dumela, o tlaa segofala mo selong se le gore o tlaa tlisa bana ba bangwe, go boipelo le go kgotsofala ga mowa wa gago, le go itumela ga ditsala tsa gago.

“O tla segofadiwa ka go tlhaloganya, le go nna le thata go ruta bomme ba bangwe. Ruta lelwapa la tshiamo, le ba gago ba bannye tsela ya botshelo, mme baengele ba ba boitshepo ba tla go tlhokomela: mme o tla bolokwa mo bogosing jwa Modimo; le e leng jalo. Amene.”
