1:1	UJames, inceku kaNkulunkulu neyeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, ezizweni eziyishumi nambili zokuhlakazeka, imikhonzo.
1:2	Bafwethu, lapho usuwele ezilingweni ezihlukahlukene, bheka konke njengenjabulo,
1:3	nazi ukuthi ukuvivinywa kokukholwa kwenu kukhombisa ukubekezela,
1:4	futhi ukubekezela kuletha umsebenzi ekupheleleni, ukuze niphelele futhi niphelele, ukuntula lutho.
1:5	Kodwa uma kukhona phakathi kwenu odinga ukuhlakanipha, makacele kuNkulunkulu, opha bonke ngokuchichimayo ngaphandle kokusolwa, njalo uyakuphiwa.
1:6	Kodwa kufanele abuze ngokukholwa, engangabazi lutho. Ngoba ongabazayo unjengegagasi phezu kolwandle, elinyakaziswa ngumoya limuke;
1:7	khona-ke umuntu makangacabangi ukuthi uyakwamukela utho eNkosini.
1:8	Ngokuba umuntu onhliziyombili akaqiniseki ezindleleni zakhe zonke.
1:9	Manje umzalwane othobekile kufanele azigqaje ngokuphakanyiswa kwakhe,
1:10	kanye nesicebi, ekuthotshisweni kwakhe, ngokuba uyakudlula njengembali yotshani.
1:11	Ngoba ilanga seliphumile ngokutshisa okutshisayo, womisa utshani, nembali yawo iwile, nokubukeka kobuhle bayo kushabalele. Kanjalo nesicebi siyobuna, ngokwemikhondo yakhe.

8:11	And the Pharisees went out and began to contend with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, emvivinya.
8:12	And sighing deeply in spirit, uthe: “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, ngithi kini, if only a sign will be given to this generation!”
8:13	And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.
