Lizangibuyisela umvuzo yini? Uba-ke lingibuyisela, masinyane ngokuphangisao ngizabuyisela umvuzo wenu ekhanda lenup. 5 Ngoba lithethe isiliva sami legolide lami, laletha izinto zami eziloyisekayo ezinhle emathempelini enuq. 6 Lathengisar abantwana bakoJuda labantwana beJerusalemas ebantwaneni bamaGriki, ukuze libasusele khatshana lomngcele wabot. 7 Khangelani, ngizabavusa endaweni elabathengisa kiyo, ngibuyisele umvuzo wenu ekhanda lenuu. 8 Njalo ngizathengisa amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu esandleni sabantwana bakoJudav, abazabathengisa kumaSabeya esizweniwx esikhatshanay; ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile.

Kodwa iNkosi ibe yisiphephelo sabantu bayo, lamandla abantwana bakoIsrayelia.
