22A boela kwa go Juta a re: “Ga ke a ka ka mo fitlhela; le bone banna ba felo foo ba re: ‘Ga go ise go ke go nne seaka mono.’ ”
23Juta a re: “A a se itseele, e se re gongwe ra tlhabisiwa ditlhong; bona, ke rometse potsane e, mme ga o a ka wa mo fitlhela.”
24Ga dirala ya re e ka ne e le dikgwedi di le tharo morago, ga bolelelwa Juta ga twe: “Tamare ngwetsi wa gago, o akafetse; le gone o moimana ka boaka.” Juta a re: “Mo ntshetseng kwa ntle, a fisiwe.”

26Juta a di dumela a re: “Ee, tsa me;” a ba a re: “Ene o siame bogolo go nna: ka gobo ke se ka ka mo neela Shela morwaake.” Mme a se ka a ba a tlhola a mo itse.
