21:17 Waliva uThixo ilizwi lenkwenkwe. Samemeza isithunywa sikaThixo kuHagare sisezulwini, esithi: "Wenza ntoni, uHagare? Sukoyika. Ngokuba uThixo uliphulaphule ilizwi lenkwenkwe, kwindawo akuyo.

21:18 Vuka. Thatha inkwenkwe uyibambe ngesandla. kuba ndiya kumenza uhlanga olukhulu.

21:19 Wawavula ke uThixo amehlo akhe. Kwaye ndibona iqula lamanzi, waya wayizalisa ufele, wayiseza inkwenkwe.

21:20 UThixo waba naye. Kwaye wakhula, wahlala entlango, waba ngumfana, umtoli.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 8: 28-34

8:28	And when he had arrived across the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes, he was met by two who had demons, who were so exceedingly savage, as they went out from among the tombs, that no one was able to cross by that way.
8:29	Kwaye khangela, bakhala, esithi: “What are we to you, O Jesus, uNyana kaThixo? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
8:30	Ngoku kwakukho, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
8:31	Then the demons petitioned him, esithi: “If you cast us from here, send us into the herd of swine.”
8:32	Wathi kubo, “Go.” And they, phuma, went into the swine. Kwaye khangela, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
8:33	Then the shepherds fled, and arriving in the city, they reported on all this, and on those who had had the demons.
8:34	Kwaye khangela, the entire city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen him, they petitioned him, so that he would cross from their borders.
