1 Ke kaloku kwathi ngemihla abagwebi+ babesenza okusesikweni kwabakho indlala+ elizweni, kwaye indoda yasuka eBhetelehem+ yelakwaYuda yaya kuhlala njengomphambukeli kumhlaba wakwaMowabhi,+ yona nomfazi wayo noonyana bayo ababini.

25 Ekuhambeni kwethuba kwabakho indlala enkulu eSamariya,+ yaye, khangela! babeyingqingile de intloko ye-esile+ yaxabisa amashumi asibhozo amaqhosha esilivere, nesine somlinganiselo wekabhe yobulongwe behobe+ saxabisa amaqhosha esilivere amahlanu.

9 ‘Ukuba kungeza intlekele,+ ikrele, umgwebo oqatha, okanye indyikitya yokufa+ okanye indlala,+ masime phambi kwale ndlu+ phambi kwakho (kuba igama lakho+ likule ndlu), ukuze simemeze kuwe sicele uncedo siphume ekubandezelekeni kwethu, uve uze usindise.’+
