1Kodwa ngithi, ngaso sonke isikhathi indlalifa iseyingane, kayehlukananga ngalutho esigqilini lanxa ingumnikazi wakho konke;

2kodwa ingaphansi kwabaphathi, kuze kufike isikhathi esamiswa nguyise.

3Ngokunjalo lathi, lapho si se yizingane, sasiyizigqili;

4kodwa kwathi ukuphelela kwesikhathi sekufikile, uNkulunkulu wathuma iNdodana yakhe,

5ukuze ihlenge abangaphansi komlayo, ukuze semukele ukuma kwabantwana.

6Njengoba lingamadodana!

7Ngakho kawuseyiso isigqili, kodwa indodana; njalo uba uy indodana, futhi uy indlalifa kaNkulunkulu ngoKristu.

8Kodwa ngalesosikhathi, lingamazi uNkulunkulu;

9kodwa khathesi lokhu selimazi uNkulunkulu, yebo kangithi lisaziwa nguNkulunkulu?

10Ligcina izinsuku.

11Ngilovalo ngani.

12Banini njengami, ngoba lami nginjengani, bazalwane, ngiyalincenga; kalingonanga nga lutho;

13liyazi-ke ukuthi ngobuthakathaka benyama ngatshumayela ivangeli kini,

14lokulingwa kwami okwakusenyameni yami kalikudelelanga njalo kalikwenyanyanga, kodwa langemukela njengengilosi kaNkulunkulu.

15Ngakho sasiyini isibusiso senu.

16Ngakho sengibeyisitha senu ngokulitshela iqiniso yini?

17Bayalitshisekela ngokungekuhle.

18Kodwa kuhle ukuthi litshisekelelwe kokuhle isikhathi sonke, njalo kungabi sebukhoneni bami lani kuphela.

19Bantwana bami abancane, engilomhelo futhi wokulizala,

20kodwa bengingathanda ukuba khona lani khathesi, ngiphendule ilizwi lami.

21Ngitshelani, lina elithanda ukuba ngaphansi komlayo, kaliwuzwa yini umlayo?

22Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi uAbrahama wayelamadodana amabili; enye ingeyesigqilikazi.

23Kodwa eyesigqilikazi yazalwa ngokwenyama.

24Okuyizinto ezingumzekeliso; ngoba laba bayizivumelwano ezimbili; esinye esentabeni iSinayi.

25Ngoba lokhu, uAgari, kuyintaba iSinayi eseArabhiya.

26Kodwa iJerusalema ephezulu ikhululekile, engumama wethu sonke;

27ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Thokoza, wenanyumba engazaliyo; kekela umemeze, wena ongawuzwanga umhelo; ngoba abantwana botshiyiweyo banengi okwedlula kakhulu kulaye olendoda.

28Kodwa thina, bazalwane, njengoIsaka.

29Kodwa njengakulesosikhathi owazalwa ngokwenyama wamzingela yena ongowakoMoya.

30Kodwa umbhalo uthini.

31Ngakho, bazalwane, kasisibo abantwana besigqilikazi, kodwa bokhululekileyo.
