1 Ngelinye ilanga uJesu emi eduze kweChibi laseGenezaretha abantu beminyezelana kuye belalela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu, 2 wabona ekhunjini lechibi izikepe ezimbili zitshiywe khonapho ngabagoli benhlanzi ababegezisa omambule babo. 3 Wangena kwesinye isikepe esasingesikaSimoni, wamcela ukuthi akathi gudlu asuke kancane okhunjini. Wasehlala phansi wafundisa abantu ehlezi esikepeni.

4 Eseqedile ukukhuluma wathi kuSimoni, "Gwedla ungene enzikini uphosele omambule bakho ukuze ubambe inhlanzi."

5 USimoni waphendula wathi, "Nkosi, sisebenze gadalala ubusuku bonke, kodwa kasibambanga lutho. Kodwa njengoba usitsho njalo ngizabehlisa omambule."

6 Kwathi sebenze njalo babamba inhlanzi ezaba zinengi kwaze kwaqalisa ukudabuka omambule. 7 Basebebiza abakhula babo kwesinye isikepe ukuthi bazobelekelela. Beza abakhula babo kwesinye isikepe ukuthi bazobelekelela. Beza bazigcwalisa zombili izikepe zathi phamu zaze zaqalisa ukutshona.

8 Kwathi uSimoni Phethro ekubona lokhu wazilahla phansi phambi kukaJesu wathi, "Suka kimi, Nkosi; ngingumuntu oyisoni!" 9 Ngoba yena labakhula bakhe babemangele ngenhlanzi ababezibambile, 10 kwamangalisa njalo uJakhobe loJohane amadodana kaZebhediya, ababe phathisana loSimoni.

UJesu wasesithi kuSimoni, "Ungesabi; kusukela manje usuzagola abantu." 11 Basebedonsela izikepe zabo okhunjini batshiya konke bamlandela.
