22 Sonu Eli wenga wakukota, kweni wavwanga vosi vo ŵana ŵaki achitiyanga+ Ayisirayeli wosi, kweniso kuti agonananga ndi anthukazi wo ateŵetiyanga pakhomu la chihema chakukumanaku.+ 23 Iyu waŵakambiyanga kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli mulutirizga kuchita viyo? Pakuti vinthu vo ndituvwa ku ŵanthu wosi vakukwaskana ndi yimwi, vamampha cha. 24 Awa mwaŵana ŵangu, nkhani yo yivwika pakati pa ŵanthu aku Yehova, njamampha cha. 25 Asani munthu wabudiya munthu munyaki, munyaki wangamuŵeyere kwaku Yehova;* kweni asani munthu wabudiya Yehova,+ ndiyani yo wangamupemphere.” Kweni yiwu angukana kuvwiya awusewu, pakuti Yehova wangusimikiza kuti waŵabayi.+
