Wayesethi uJonadaba kuye: Lala embhedeni wakho, uzishaye ogulayo; lapho eseza uyihlo ukukubona, uthi kuye: Ake kuze uTamari udadewethu , angiphe ukudla, akulungise ukudla emehlweni ami ukuba ngikubone , ngikudle esandleni sakhe.

Wayeselala phansi u-Amnoni, wazishaya ogulayo; isifikile inkosi ukumbona, u-Amnoni wathi enkosini : Ake kuze uTamari udadewethu , enze amaqebelengwane amabili phambi kwami ukuba ngidle esandleni sakhe.

Kukhona ogulayo phakathi kwenu na ? Makabize amalunga ebandla , amkhulekele, amgcobe ngamafutha egameni leNkosi.

Umkhuleko wokukhol wa uyakumsindisa ogulayo , iNkosi imvuse ; noma enzile izono, uzakuthethelelwa zona.

nxa sibuzwa namuh la ngomsebenzi omuhle kumuntu ogulayo ukuthi yena usindiswe ngani,

Kwakukhona othile ogulayo , uLazaru waseBethaniya umuzi wakubo kaMariya nodadewabo uMarta.

Ogulayo wamphendula wathi : Nkosi, anginamuntu wokungifaka echibini , nxa amanzi ezanyazanyiswa; kuthi ngiseza, kwehle omunye phambi kwami.
