Txhua yam uas tus TSWV hais rau kuv, kuv yuav qhia rau koj.” Yog li ntawd, Npala-as thiaj nce mus rau saum ib lub ncov roob, ⁴thiab Vajtswv los cuag Npala-as. Npala-as hais rau Vajtswv hais tias, “Kuv teeb xya lub thaj thiab tua nyuj, tua yaj fij tso rau saum xya lub thaj ntawd ib lub ib tug nyuj thiab ib tug yaj.”

 ⁷Ces Npala-as cevlus hais tias:

  “Cov Mau-am tus Vajntxwv Npalaj tos kuv pem tebchaws Xilias

 ¹¹Npalaj hais rau Npala-as hais tias, “Ua cas koj ua li ko rau kuv? Kuv coj koj tuaj, yog kom koj tuaj foom tsis zoo rau kuv cov yeebncuab, tiamsis koj ho foom koob hmoov rau lawv!”
 ¹²Npala-as teb hais tias, “Kuv tsuas muaj cuabkav hais tau tej lus uas tus TSWV qhib kuv lub qhovncauj hais xwb.”
 ¹³Tom qab ntawd Npalaj rov hais dua rau Npala-as hais tias, “Koj cia li nrog kuv mus dua rau lwm qhov chaw, koj yuav pom cov Yixalayees ibtxhia thiab. Koj cia li foom tsis zoo rau lawv.” ¹⁴Npalaj coj Npala-as mus rau pem Xaufimes thaj teb uas nyob saum Roob Pinkas. Thaum mus txog saud, Npalaj teeb tau xya lub thaj thiab ib lub thaj twg tua ib tug heev nyiaj thiab ib tug laug yaj hlawv fij rau saud.
 ¹⁵Npala-as hais rau Npalaj hais tias, “Koj cia li mus sawv ntawm koj tej khoom fij uas hlawv ntawd, kuv yuav mus cuag Vajtswv lawm tid.”
 ¹⁶Tus TSWV los cuag Npala-as thiab qhia tej lus uas yuav hais rau Npala-as kom coj rov los hais rau Npalaj. ¹⁷Npala-as rov los pom Npalaj tseem sawv nrog cov Mau-am tej thawjcoj, ntawm qhov chaw uas hlawv nws cov khoom fij ntawd. Npalaj nug saib tus TSWV hais li cas, ¹⁸Npala-as cevlus hais tias:

  “Xipaules tus tub Npalaj,

  ²²Vajtswv coj lawv nram tebchaws Iziv los;
  Nws pab lawv ntaus rog ib yam li tus phaw nyujqus.
  ²³Tej neeg uas txawj ua yeessiv thiab
   txawj ua khawvkoob,
  tsis muaj cuabkav tawmtsam haivneeg Yixalayees.
  Nimno tej neeg yuav hais txog cov

  ‘Cia li saib tej uas tus TSWV ua rau cov Yixalayees!’
  ²⁴Haivneeg Yixalayees zoo ib yam li tus tsov ntxhuav

   nws tom tau haus ntshav tas,
  thiab nws yeej tsis pw mus txog
   thaum uas nws muab noj tas.”
 ²⁵Ces Npalaj hais rau Npala-as hais tias, “Yog koj tsis kam foom tsis zoo rau cov Yixalayees, mas koj tsis txhob foom koob hmoov rau lawv thiab.”
 ²⁶Npala-as teb hais tias, “Kuv tsis tau qhia rau koj hais tias, kuv tsuas ua tau tej uas tus TSWV kom kuv ua xwb no los?”
 ²⁷Npalaj hais tias, “Koj cia li nrog kuv mus, kuv yuav coj koj mus rau lwm qhov chaw. Tej zaum Vajtswv yuav cia koj foom tsis zoo rau lawv.” ²⁸Npalaj coj Npala-as mus rau saum lub ncov Roob Pe-aus uas ntsia ntsoov pom rau tim tiaj suabpuam. ²⁹Npala-as hais rau Npalaj hais tias, “Koj cia li teeb xya lub thaj rau kuv thiab muab xya tus heev nyuj thiab xya tus laug yaj rau kuv.” ³⁰Npalaj ua raws li Npala-as hais, ib lub thaj twg tua ib tug heev nyuj thiab ib tug laug yaj hlawv fij rau saum.
