23 mina ngibe kubo lawe ukimi. Sengathi bangaba lokumanyana okupheleleyo ukutshengisa umhlaba ukuthi ungithumile njalo ubathandile njengalokhu ungithandile lami.
Anye mu bhene, nabho mwanye, koleleki bhatule okukumila kubhumwi; koleleki echalo chimenye ati okubha nawe wantumile, no kubhenda, lwa kutyo awe wanyendele anye.
24 Baba, ngifuna ukuthi labo ongiphe bona babe lami lapho engikhona njalo bayibone inkazimulo yami, inkazimulo onginike yona ngoba wangithanda umhlaba ungakadalwa.
Lata, bhanu wananile anye, enenda abhene ona bhabhega nanye bhalole likusho lyani linu wananile: Okubha awe wanyendele anye isi ichali kumogwa.
25 Baba olungileyo, loba umhlaba ungakwazi, mina ngiyakwazi, njalo bayakwazi ukuthi ungithumile.
