18 “Mkazi wamatsenga musam’lole kukhala ndi moyo.+

31 “‘Musatembenukire kwa olankhula ndi mizimu+ ndipo musafunsire olosera zam’tsogolo+ ndi kudetsedwa nawo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.

6 “‘Munthu wotembenukira kwa olankhula ndi mizimu+ ndi olosera zam’tsogolo,+ komwe n’kuchita mosakhulupirika kwa ine,* ndidzam’kana ndithu ndipo ndidzamupha kuti asakhalenso pakati pa anthu amtundu wake.+

23 Pakuti kupanduka+ n’chimodzimodzi ndi tchimo la kuwombeza,+ ndipo kuchita zinthu modzikuza n’chimodzimodzi ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zamatsenga ndiponso aterafi.+ Popeza iwe wakana mawu a Yehova,+ iyenso wakukana kuti usakhalenso mfumu.”+

3 Tsopano Samueli anali atamwalira ndipo Aisiraeli anali atamulira ndi kumuika m’manda mumzinda wakwawo ku Rama.+ Ndipo Sauli anali atachotsa anthu olankhula ndi mizimu ndi akatswiri olosera zam’tsogolo m’dzikolo.+

19 Akakuuzani anthu inu kuti: “Funsirani kwa anthu olankhula ndi mizimu+ kapena kwa anthu amene ali ndi mzimu wolosera zam’tsogolo, omwe amalira ngati mbalame+ ndiponso amalankhula motsitsa mawu,” kodi mtundu uliwonse wa anthu suyenera kufunsira kwa Mulungu wake?+ Kodi tizifunsira kwa anthu akufa kuti athandize anthu amoyo?+

12 Chenjerani abale, kuti pakati panu, wina asachoke kwa Mulungu wamoyo n’kukhala ndi mtima woipa wopanda chikhulupiriro.+
