Nemihe haipfikile, kakala kuko yaliyeka. 24 Na ghumnumbwi mala tsaghupfika kutali na ufuo wa ibahari, ghwotowighwa na ghamawimbi, kwaapfila tsakukala na beho lyoduma.

25 Haipfikile nzamu ya kane ya ichilo, habehi na ukucha, Yesu kawaghendela, aku koghenda kwa maghulu mchanya mwa ghamatsi. 26 Wanafunzi wake hawamwonile koghenda mchanya mwa ibahari, wapfuka, walonga, "Mtsimu!" Wadamilila kwa kupfuka.

27 Lekeni bahala, Yesu kawalongela, "Mhole ghumoyo, ambe nene! Mleke kupfuka!"

28 Petiri kamwidika, "Ghwemtwatsa, ana uli ghweghwe, nilaghitse nitse kuna ghweghwe mchanya mwa ghamatsi." 29 Kamlongela, "Itsa!"
