1 Ngase ngibuye ngabona konke ukucindezela okwenziwa phansi kwelanga; bheka izinyembezi zabacindezelwayo; babengenamduduzi. Ohlangothini lwababacindezelayo kwakukhona amandla, kepha bona babengenamduduzi.
2 Ngase ngibusisa abafileyo asebafa kunabaphilayo abasekhona,
3 kepha badlulwa bobabili nguye ongakabikho, ongabonanga umsebenzi omubi owenziwa phansi kwelanga.
4 Futhi ngabona wonke umshikashika nakho konke okwenziwe ngekhono ukuthi kungumhawu womuntu ngomakhelwane wakhe. Nalokho kuyize nokufuna umoya.
5 Isiwula siyasonga izandla zaso,sidle umzimba waso.
6 Kungcono ukhweshe lokuthulakunezandla zombili zigcwele umshikashikakanye nokufuna umoya.
7 Ngase ngibuye ngabona okunye okuyize phansi kwelanga:
8 Kukhona oyedwa,kanaye owesibili,yebo, akanamntwana, kanamfowabo,nokho ukuphela komshikashika wakhe akukho,namehlo akhe awasuthi ngengcebo.Uthi: “Ngishikashikela-bani,ngiswezisela umphefumulo wami ngokuhle, na?”Nalokho kuyize nenhlupheko embi.
9 Kungcono ababili kunoyedwa,ngokuba banomvuzo omkhulu ngomshikashika wabo.
10 Ngokuba uma bewa,omunye uyavusa umngane wakhe;kepha maye kuye oyedwa lapho ewa,engenawesibili wokumvusa!
11 Futhi uma ababili belele ndawonye,banokufudumala,kepha oyedwa angafudumala kanjani na?
12 Nakuba umuntu ahlula oyedwa,ababili bayakuma phambi kwakhe,nentambo emicu mithathu ayisheshi ukugqashuka.
13 Kungcono umfana ompofu ohlakaniphileyo kunenkosi egugileyo eyisiwula, engasakwazi ukuxwayiswa,
14 ngokuba waphuma etilongweni ukuba abe yinkosi, yebo, wazalwa embusweni wayo empofu.
15 Ngabona bonke abaphilayo ababehamba phansi kwelanga bekanye nalowo mfana obeyakuma esikhundleni sakhe;
16 kwakungekho ukuphela kwabantu bonke, bonke ayephambi kwabo; nokho abafika emuva abayikuthokoza ngaye. Impela nalokho kuyize nokufuna umoya.
