1. “Kepha qaphelani ningenzi ukulunga kwenu phambi kwabantu ukuba nibonwe yibo, funa ningabi nawo umvuzo kuYihlo osezulwini.
2. “Ngakho-ke nxa wabela isipho, ungakhalisi icilongo phambi kwakho, njengalokhu kwenza abazenzisi emasinagogeni* nasemigwaqweni ukuba badunyiswe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.
3. Kepha wena, nxa wabela isipho, isandla sakho sokhohlo masingakwazi esikwenzayo esokunene,
4. ukuze isipho sakho sibe sekusithekeni; noYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakukuvuza.
5. “Nalapho nikhuleka, ningabi njengabazenzisi, ngokuba bethanda ukukhuleka bemi emasinagogeni* nasezinhlanganweni zezindlela ukuba babonwe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo.
6. Kepha wena, nxa ukhuleka, ngena ekamelweni lakho, uthi usuvale umnyango wakho ukhuleke kuYihlo osekusithekeni; noYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakukuvuza.
7. Kodwa nxa nikhuleka, ningathemelezi njengabezizwe, ngokuba bathi bayakuzwiwa ngokukhuluma kwabo okuningi.
8. Ngakho-ke maningafani nabo; ngokuba uYihlo uyakwazi enikuswelayo ningakaceli kuye.
9. Ngakho-ke anokhuleka kanje, nithi:“ ‘Baba wethu osezulwini,malingcweliswe igama lakho;
10. mawufike umbuso wakho;mayenziwe intando yakho emhlabeni njengasezulwini;
11. usiphe namuhla isinkwa sethusemihla ngemihla;
12. usithethelele amacala ethu,njengalokhu nathi sibathethelelaabanecala kithi;
13. ungasingenisi ekulingweni,kodwa usikhulule kokubi;ngokuba umbuso ungowakho,namandla, nenkazimulo,kuze kube phakade. Amen.’
