Ndakali kuyandisisya mumoyo wangu kuyaka ŋanda molinookkala lyoonse bbokesi lyacizuminano ca Jehova alimwi acilyatilo camaulu aa Leza wesu+ alimwi ndakalibambila kuyaka.+ 3 Pele Leza mwini-mwini wakandaambila kuti, ‘Tokooyaka ŋanda yiitwa azina lyangu,+ nkaambo uli muntu walwana nkondo zinji akutila bulowa.’+ 4 Nokuba boobo Jehova Leza wa Israyeli wakandisala akati kabantu bamuŋanda yataata boonse kuti ndibe mwami wa Israyeli lyoonse,+ nkaambo wakasala Juda kuti abe musololi,+ alimwi kuzwa muŋanda ya Juda wakasala ŋanda yataata,+ mpoonya akati kabana bataata wakasala ndime kuti ndibe mwami wa Israyeli yoonse.+ 5 Alimwi kuzwa akati kabana bangu boonse–nkaambo Jehova wandipa bana banji+–wakasala mwanaangu Solomoni+ kuti akkale acuuno cabwami bwa Jehova mu Israyeli.+
