7. Ke bathi omnye komnye: “Yizani senze *amaqashiso ukuze sibhaqe lo mntu ungunobangela wale ntlekele.” Benjenjalo ke, laza iqashiso laphuma noJona.
8. Baza ke bathi kuJona: “Khawutsho! Ngubani unobangela wale ntlekele? Uzokwenza ntoni apha? Khona, uvela phi? Liphi ikowenu? Ungumni kakade?”

10. Ke kaloku loo madoda othuka gqitha, kuba uJona wawachazela ukuba elapho nje ubaleka uNdikhoyo, aza athi kuye: “Yintoni na le uyenzileyo?”
11. Ke lona ulwandle lwaqhubela phambili ukulwa. Baza ke bathi kuJona: “Masenze ntoni ngawe ukuze ulwandle luzole?”
