Ukusilisa Echibini
1 Emva kwesikhathi esithile uJesu waya eJerusalema emkhosini wamaJuda. 2 EJerusalema kukhona ichibi eduze lesango leZimvu, elithiwa ngesi-Aramu yiBhethisayida, elalihonqolozelwe ngensika ezinhlanu ezibiyelweyo. 3 Khonapho abantu abayizilima abanengi babandise ukuhlala khona, iziphofu, abaqhulayo, abome imihlubulo [belindele ukudungwa kwamanzi; 4 ngoba kwakusithi ngezikhathi ezithile ingilosi yeNkosi yayisehlela echibini, idungadunge amanzi besekusithi umuntu oqalayo ukungena emanzini ngemva kokudungeka kwawo asiliswe loba kuwuphi umkhuhlane owawumbambile].5.4 Livesi kayikho kwamanye amaBhayibhili esiLungu. 5 Omunye owayelapho wayeyisigoga okweminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembili. 6 Kwathi uJesu embona elele khonapho njalo esetsheliwe ukuthi kade abanjalo okwesikhathi eside, wambuza wathi, "Uyafuna na ukusila?"
7 Oyisilima waphendula wathi, "Nkosi, kangilamuntu wokungisiza angingenise echibini lapho amanzi edungwa. Ngithi lapho ngizama ukungena omunye angingenele kuqala."
8 UJesu wasethi kuye, "Sukuma! Thatha icansi lakho uhambe." 9 Khonokho nje indoda yasila; yathatha icansi layo yahamba.
