2 Ndiyeno Yakobo anauza anthu a m’banja lake ndi onse amene anali naye kuti: “Chotsani milungu yachilendo imene ili pakati panu.+ Dziyeretseni ndipo sinthani zovala zanu.+

3 Usakhale ndi milungu ina iliyonse+ kupatulapo ine.*

15 Samalani, kuopera kuti mungachite pangano ndi anthu okhala m’dzikomo, pakuti iwo adzachita chiwerewere ndi milungu yawo+ ndi kupereka nsembe kwa milungu yawo.+ Chifukwa mukachita nawo pangano, mosakayikira wina adzakuitanani kunyumba kwake ndipo nanunso mudzadya nsembe yakeyo.+

30 “Tsopano uza nyumba ya Isiraeli kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Kodi anthu inu mukudziipitsa potsatira njira za makolo anu?+ Kodi mukutsatira zinthu zawo zonyansa ndi kuchita zachiwerewere ndi mafano amenewo?+

8 Tsopano ponena za zakudya zoperekedwa kwa mafano,+ tikudziwa kuti tonse ndife odziwa zinthu.+ Kudziwa zinthu kumachititsa munthu kudzitukumula, koma chikondi chimamangirira.+

14 Ndiye chifukwa chake, okondedwa anga, thawani+ kupembedza mafano.+
