25 Pa nyengu yo Ayisirayeli ajanga ku Sitimu,+ yiwu angwamba kuchita ureŵi ndi ŵana anthukazi a ku Mowabu.+ 2 Anthukazi wo, angudaniya Ayisirayeli ko aperekiyanga sembi kwa achiuta ŵawu,+ ndipu Ayisirayeli angwamba kurya ndi kusindamiya achiuta ŵawu.+ 3 Mwaviyo, Ayisirayeli angwamba kusopaku* Bala wa ku Piyori+ ndipu Yehova wangukwiyiya Ayisirayeli.
