18 Inene, ndithi kuni, Konke enithe nakubopha emhlabeni, kobotshwa emazulwini; nako konke enithe nakukhulula emhlabeni, kokhululwa emazulwini.
19 Kanjalo ndithi kuni, Ukuba ababini kuni bathe bavumelana emhlabeni apha ngeendawo zonke abangazicelayo, bozenzelwa nguBawo osemazulwini.
20 Kuba apho bahlanganisene khona egameni lam, nokuba babini nokuba bathathu, ndikho mna apho phakathi kwabo.
21 Kwandula kweza uPetros kuye wathi, Nkosi, koba futhi kangaphi na umzalwana wam endona, ndimxolela? Koda kube kasixhenxe na?
22 Athi uYesu kuye, Andithi kuwe, koda kube kasixhenxe; ndithi, koda kube kamashumi asixhenxe aphindiweyo kasixhenxe.
23 Ngenxa yoko ubukumkani bamazulu bufanekiswa nomntu ongukumkani, owafuna ukubalelana nabakhonzi bakhe.
24 Kuthe ke akuqala ukubalelana nabo, kwaziswa kuye omnye onetyala leetalente* ezingamawaka alishumi.
