29. Kuthe isihlwele simxinanisile, uYesu wathi: “Esi sisizukulwana esikhohlakeleyo; sifuna umqondiso, kanti asiyi kunikwa mqondiso, ingenguwo umqondiso kaJona;
30. kuba, njengokuba uJona waba ngumqondiso kwabaseNiniva, uya kuba nguwo *uNyana woLuntu kwesi sizukulwana.
31. Ngomhla womgwebo ukumkanikazi waseZantsi wophakama abamangalele abantu besi sizukulwana, kuba wavela eziphelweni zomhlaba, esiza kuva ubulumko bukaSolomon, kanti ke omkhulu kunoSolomon nanku apha.
32. Ngomhla womgwebo abantu baseNiniva bophakama babamangalele abantu besi sizukulwana, kuba bona bâguquka ngentshumayelo kaJona,Jona 3:4-5 kanti ke omkhulu kunoJona nanku apha.”
33. “Akukho mntu uthi, esilumekile isibane, asibeke endaweni efihlakeleyo okanye phantsi kwesitya; usixhoma endaweni yaso, ukuze abangenayo bakhanyiselwe.
34. Isibane somzimba liliso. Xa ke iliso lakho lilungile, umzimba wakho uphela uyakhanyiseleka; xa lithe alalunga, umzimba wakho usebumnyameni.
35. Lumka ke, hleze ukukhanya okukuwe kube bubumnyama.
36. Ukuba ngoko umzimba wakho uphela ukhanyiselekile, ungenandawo isebumnyameni, úya kukhanyiseleka uphela, kwanjengoko kunjalo xa isibane sithe sakukhanyisela ngelitha laso.”
37. Akuba uYesu ethethile, *umFarasi othile wammema ukuba aye kutya kwakhe. Wafika ke, waya kuhlala etafileni.
38. Akukubona oku, umFarasi wamangaliswa kukuba uYesu engathanga kuqala ahlambe phambi kokuba atye.
39. INkosi ke yathi kuye: “Kaloku nina baFarasi nihlamba umphandle wendebe nesitya, kanti ngeentliziyo zenu nizungula ukuphanga nenkohlakalo.
40. Ziyathandini, lo wawenzayo umphandle akawenzanga na kwanawo umphakathi?
41. Ngoko ke yiphani abasweleyo izinto ezingaphakathi kwindebe nesitya. Nakwenjenjalo ke aniyi kuphinda nizikhathaze ngezinto ezinomlaza nezingenawo.
42. “Mawoo, nina baFarasi! Ninikela kuThixo ngesishumi semifuno enjengetyeleba nenxina neminye, kanti niyabutyeshela ubulungisa nokumthanda uThixo. Benimelwe kakade kukuzenza ezi zinto, kodwa nezinye ningazityesheli.
43. “Mawoo, nina baFarasi! Nithanda izihlalo eziphambili *ezindlwini zesikhungo, nokukhahlelwa emabaleni embutho.
44. Mawoo, nina! Ninjengamangcwaba angasabonakaliyo, abathi abantu bahambe phezu kwawo bengawazi.”
