Choncho musadzimvere chisoni pakuti chimwemwe chimene Yehova amapereka ndicho malo anu achitetezo.”

19 N’chifukwa chake Ayuda akumidzi amene anali kukhala m’madera akutali ndi mzinda, anasandutsa tsiku la 14 la mwezi wa Adara+ kukhala tsiku lachikondwerero,+ laphwando, losangalala ndiponso tsiku+ lotumizirana chakudya.+

22 Anawalamula kuti masiku amenewa akhale ochita phwando, kusangalala, kutumizirana chakudya+ ndi kupereka mphatso kwa anthu osauka.+ Anatero pakuti amenewa ndi masiku amene Ayuda anasiya kuvutitsidwa ndi adani awo,+ komanso mwezi umene chisoni chawo chinasintha kukhala chikondwerero ndiponso pamene tsiku lolira+ linasintha kukhala tsiku losangalala.
