16 Iwo aenda kuna Bhalamu mbampanga: “Ipi ndipyo pidalonga Bhalaki mwana wa Zipori: ‘Ndaphata miyendo, leka kutawirisa nee cinthu cibodzi cikupingize kubwera kuna ine. 17 Thangwi ine ndinadzakulemedza kakamwe,* pontho ndinacita pinthu pyonsene pinafuna kundipanga iwe. Ndaphata miyendo, bwera upase dzedze mbumba ineyi.’”

10 Penepo Bhalaki aipirwa kakamwe na Bhalamu. Bhalaki aimba manja mwakupwaza, mbapanga Bhalamu: “Ine ndakucemera+ toera upase dzedze anyamalwa anga, mbwenye nkhabe cidacita iwe, mpaka pano waapasa nkhombo katatu. 11 Cincino ndoko pyako kunyumba kwako. Ine ndikhafuna kukulemedza kakamwe,+ mbwenye Yahova akukhondera cilemedzo.”
