23 Ngalelolanga kwafika abaSadusi ababesithi abafileyo abasoze bavuswe,+ bambuza bathi:+ 24 “Mfundisi, uMosi wathi: ‘Nxa indoda ingafa ingelabantwana, umfowabo kufanele atshade lomkayo ayizalele abantwana.’+ 25 Manje kwakulamadoda ayisikhombisa ayizelamani. Endala yatshada kodwa yafa ingelamntwana, umkayo wasala ethathwa ngumfowabo. 26 Kwaba yiso leso kweyesibili lakweyesithathu kwaze kwayafika kweyesikhombisa. 27 Ekucineni owesifazana lo laye wafa. 28 Manje phakathi kwamadoda la ayisikhombisa, uzakuba ngumkabani nxa sekuvuswa abafileyo? Phela wayeke waba yinkosikazi yawo wonke.”

27 Kodwa kwafika abanye abaSadusi ababesithi abafileyo abasoze bavuswe,+ bambuza bathi:+ 28 “Mfundisi, uMosi wasibhalela wathi, ‘Nxa indoda ingafa ingelamntwana itshiye umkayo, umfowabo kufanele athathe lowomfazi azalele umfowabo abantwana.’+ 29 Manje kwakulamadoda ayisikhombisa ayeyizelamani. Endala yathatha umfazi kodwa yafa ingelamntwana. 30 Ngakho watshada leyesibili, 31 waphinda watshada leyesithathu. Wonke eyisikhombisa acina etshade laye kodwa afa engelabantwana. 32 Ekucineni owesifazana laye wafa. 33 Pho uzakuba ngumkabani nxa sekuvuswa abafileyo? Phela wayeke waba yinkosikazi yabo bonke boyisikhombisa.”
