11“Eminyanyeni okutjho emigidini ejanyisiweko, umnikelo weenthoro uzakuba ngupumpana okhambisana nekunzi, upumpana okhambisana neqama kanye neemvana ezinengi ngendlela angakghona ngayo. Upumpana ngamunye akhambisane namalitha amane wamafutha we-oliva. 12Lokha ikosana nayiletha umnikelo wesihle kuSomnini, kungaba mhlabelo wokutjhiswa namkha wetjhebiswano, izakuvulelwa isango eliqale ngepumalanga. Izakuletha umhlabelwayo wokutjhiswa namkha wetjhebiswano njengombana yenza ngelanga leSabatha. Kuthi nasele iphumile isangwelo livalwe.

Ngemva kwalapho sizakubuyela ekhosaneni. Ilifa layo lingelamadodanayo; iye, lingelawo kwaphela. 18Ikosana ayingathatheli abantu ilifa labo, ingabaqotjhi epahlenabo. Izakwabela amadodanayo ilifa lawo esabulweni sayo ukuze kungabikhona namunye wabantu bami ozakuhlakazwa elifeni labo.”
