“Eya, kafungo ka mwana wanga kakununkhira ngati fungo lokoma la munda umene Yehova waudalitsa.

16 Kenako Yakobo anagalamuka ku tulo take n’kunena kuti: “Ndithudi Yehova ali pamalo pano, koma ine sindinadziwe.”

23 Ndi mtundu uti padziko lapansi umene ungafanane ndi mtundu wa anthu anu Aisiraeli,+ amene inu Mulungu munawawombola monga anthu anu+ ndi kudzipangira dzina,+ amene munawachitira zinthu zazikulu ndi zochititsa mantha?+ Munapitikitsa mitundu ina ndi milungu yawo, chifukwa cha anthu anu amene munawawombola+ nokha kuchokera ku Iguputo.

6 “Pa chifukwa chimenecho anthu anga adzadziwa dzina langa.+ Adzalidziwa pa chifukwa chimenecho m’tsiku limenelo, pakuti ineyo ndi amene ndikulankhula.+ Ndithu ndineyo.”

21 “Choncho ine ndiwaphunzitsa. Pa nthawi ino yokha ndiwaonetsa dzanja langa ndi mphamvu zanga,+ ndipo adziwa kuti dzina langa ndine Yehova.”+

20 Inu munachita zizindikiro ndi zozizwitsa m’dziko la Iguputo. Zimene munachitazo zikudziwikabe mpaka pano mu Isiraeli ndiponso pakati pa anthu onse.+ Munachita zimenezo kuti mudzipangire dzina mofanana ndi zimene mukufuna kuchita posachedwapa.+
