² Wakhulelwa lowo wesifazane wazala indodana; kwathi lapho eyibona ukuthi yinhle, wayifihla izinyanga ezintathu.

³ Kuthe lapho engasakwazi ukuyifihla wayithatha wayifaka ebhokisini elaliphicwe ngekhwani, lahuqwa ngebhithumeni nekoliyati, walibeka emhlangeni owawusosebeni lomfula.

⁴ Udadewabo wema buqamama ukuze abone ukuthi kuzokwenzekani kuye.

⁵ Kwase kwehla indodakazi kaFaro iyogeza emfuleni, abaphelezeli bayo bagudla osebeni lomfula; yayisibona ubhasikidi emhlangeni, yayisithumela umsizi wayo ukuyowulanda.

⁶ Kwathi lapho iwuvula yabona; bheka, kwakungumfana; wayekhala. Yamhawukela, yayisithi: “Lona ngomunye wezingane zamaHebheru.”

⁷ Udadewabo wathi endodakazini kaFaro: “Ngihambe yini ngiyokulandela umzanyana kwabesifazane bamaHebheru ukuba akuncelisele yona na?”

⁸ Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Hamba.” Intombazane yahamba yayobiza unina wengane.

⁹ Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Thatha lo mntwana uyongincelisela yena, ngizokukhokhela.” Owesifazane wamthatha umntwana wamncelisa.
