22 Kuthe indodakazi kaHerodiyasi isifikile yagida kamnandi yathokozisa uHerodi lezethekeli zakhe edilini.

Inkosi yasisithi entombazaneni, "Ngicela loba yini, ngizakupha." 23 Wamthembisa wafunga wathi, "Loba yini oyicelayo ngizakupha kungaze kube yingxenye yombuso wami."

24 Yaphuma intombazana yayakuthi kunina, "Kambe ngiceleni?"

Waphendula wathi, "Ikhanda likaJohane uMbhaphathizi."

25 Masinyane intombazana yatheleka enkosini isilesicelo leso, yathi: "Ngifuna ukuthi ungiphe khathesi nje ikhanda likaJohane uMbhaphathizi lisemganwini."

26 Inkosi yakhathazeka kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo zayo langenxa yezethekeli zayo kayithandanga ukusala isicelo. 27 Ngakho yahle yathumela umbulali ukuba alethe ikhanda likaJohane. Yahamba indoda yamquma ikhanda uJohane entolongweni, 28 yaliletha ikhanda lisemganwini. Yalethula entombazaneni, yona yalipha unina.
