1. Akuhla entabeni apho uYesu, walandelwa ngabantu abaninzi.
2. Kwabonakala kusiza umntu oneqhenqa, owaqubuda phambi kwakhe, wathi: “Nkosi, ndiyazi ukuba unako ukundihlambulula ukuba uyathanda.”
3. Wasolula isandla uYesu, wamchukumisa esithi: “Ndiyathanda, hlambuluka.” Lahlambuluka kwangoko iqhenqa lakhe.
4. Waza wathi kuye uYesu: “Lumka ungaxeleli bani. Hamba uye kuzibonisa kumbingeleli, wenze umnikelo wezo zinto uMosis wazimiselayo, ube bubungqina ebantwini bokuhlanjululwa kwakho.”
5. Kwathi uYesu akungena eKapernahum, wahlangatyezwa ngumphathi-butho wamajoni, owambongozayo
6. esithi: “Nkosi, isicaka sam silele ngendlu. Asisaphakami; sithuthunjelwa gqitha.”
7. UYesu wathi kuye: “Ndofika ndisiphilise.”
8. Waphendula umphathi-butho wathi: “Nkosi, andifanelekanga ukuba ungene phantsi kwentungo yendlu yam. Thetha nje ilizwi; sophiliswa isicaka sam.
9. Nam ndingumntu ophantsi kwegunya labanye, kwaye ndikwanamajoni aphantsi kwam: kweli ndithi: ‘Yiya,’ liye; kweliya ndithi: ‘Yiza,’ lize; kwisicaka sam ndithi: ‘Yenza oku,’ sikwenze.”
10. UYesu wamangaliswa akukuva oku, waza wathi kwababemlandela: “Inene, andikafumani namnye onokholo olungaka nkqu nakwaSirayeli.
11. Ndithi kuni, baninzi abaya kuvela empumalanga nasentshonalanga babe sesidlweni kunye noAbraham noIsake noYakobi apho lukhona ulawulo lukaThixo olufezekileyo.
12. Kodwa abo babekade bengabohlanga olulawulwa nguThixo bolahlelwa phandle ebumnyameni lee, apho baya kulila khona bengcungcutheka.”
13. Waza uYesu wathi kumphathi-butho: “Hamba ke; ngenxa yokuba ukholiwe, wokwenzelwa oko.” Saza saphila kwangelo xesha isicaka eso.
