1. Waye engene uYesu, ecanda eYeriko.
2. Kwakho ndoda ibizwa ngegama elinguZakeyu; yaye yona iyintloko yababuthi berhafu; yaye isisityebi yona.
3. Yayifuna ukumbona uYesu, ukuba ngubani na; ayaba nako ngenxa yendimbane, ngokuba ngesithomo yayimfutshane.
4. Yagidima ngaphambili, yakhwela kumthombe ukuze imbone; ngokuba ebeza kudlula ngapho.
5. Akufika kuloo ndawo, wakhangela phezulu uYesu, wayibona, wathi kuyo, Zakeyu, khawuleza uhle; kuba namhlanje ndimelwe kukuhlala endlwini yakho.
6. Wakhawuleza ke, wehla, wamamkela ngobubele, evuya.
7. Baye bonke, bakuyibona loo nto, bekrokra, besithi, Úngené waya kulala kwindoda engumoni.
