20 UNahomi wathi kumolokazana wakhe: “Makasikelelwe nguYehova,+ ongabushiyanga ububele bakhe bothando+ kwabaphilayo nabafileyo.”+ Yaye uNahomi wahlabela mgama wathi kuye: “Le ndoda ihlobene nathi.+ Ngomnye wabahlawuleli bethu.”+

4 Ke mna, ndiye ndacinga ukuba ndikutyhile kuwe oku, ndisithi, ‘Sithenge+ phambi kwabemi namadoda amakhulu abantu bakowethu.+ Ukuba uza kusihlawulela, sihlawulele; kodwa ukuba akuyi kusihlawulela, ndixelele, ukuze ndazi, kuba akukho bani uza kwenza intlawulelo ngaphandle kwakho,+ kwaye ndim emva kwakho.’” Yena wathi: “Ndim oza kusihlawulela.”+

6 Umhlawuleli wathi: “Andikwazi ukuwuhlawulela mna, kuba ndoyikela ukuba ndiya konakalisa elam ilifa. Zihlawulele wona ngelungelo lam lentlawulelo, ngenxa yokuba andikwazi ukwenza intlawulelo.”

7 ‘Yabona uHanameli unyana kaShalum uyihlokazi uza kuwe, esithi: “Zithengele intsimi yam eseAnatoti,+ ngenxa yokuba ilungelo lentlawulelo lelakho ukuba uyithenge.”’”+
