1 Ndipo Samuele anauza Aisraele onse, kuti, Onani ndinamvera mau anu mwa zonse munalankhula ndi ine, ndipo ndinakulongerani mfumu.
2 Ndipo tsopano, siyi mfumu idzayendabe pamaso panu; ndipo ine ndine wokalamba waimvi; ndipo, onani, ana anga aamuna ali nanu, ndipo ine ndinayendabe pamaso panu kuyambira ubwana wanga kufikira lero.
3 Ndikalipo ine; chitani umboni wonditsutsa pamaso pa Yehova, ndi pamaso pa wodzozedwa wake; ndinalanda ng’ombe ya yani? Kapena ndinalanda bulu wa yani? Ndinanyenga yani? Ndinasutsa yani? Ndinalandira m’manja mwa yani chokometsera mlandu kutseka nacho maso anga? Ngati ndinatero ndidzachibwezera kwa inu.
4 Ndipo iwo anati, Simunatinyenge, kapena kutisautsa, kapena kulandira kanthu m’manja mwa wina aliyense.
5 Ndipo iye ananena nao, Yehova ali mboni yanu, ndi wodzozedwa wake ali mboni lero kuti simunapeze kanthu m’dzanja langa. Nati iwo, Iye ali mboni.
6 Ndipo Samuele ananena ndi anthuwo, Yehova ndiye amene anaika Mose ndi Aroni, natulutsanso makolo anu m’dziko la Ejipito.
7 Chifukwa chake tsono, imani pano, kuti ndiweruzane nanu pamaso pa Yehova, za ntchito zonse zolungama za Yehova anakuchitirani inu ndi makolo anu.
8 Pamene Yakobo anafika ku Ejipito, ndi makolo anu anapemphera kwa Yehova, Yehova anatumiza Mose ndi Aroni, amene anatulutsa makolo anu mu Ejipito, nawakhalitsa pamalo pano.
9 Koma iwowa anaiwala Yehova Mulungu wao, Iye nawapereka m’dzanja la Sisera kazembe wa gulu la Hazori, ndi m’dzanja la Afilisti, ndi m’dzanja la mfumu ya Mowabu, iwo naponyana nao.
10 Ndipo anapemphera kwa Yehova, kuti, Tinachimwa, popeza tinasiya Yehova, ndi kutumikira AbaalandiAsitaroti, koma mutipulumutse tsopano m’manja a adani anthu, ndipo tidzakutumikirani Inu.
11 Ndipo Yehova anatumiza Yerubaala, ndi Baraki, ndi Yefita, ndi Samuele, napulumutsa inu m’manja mwa adani anu pozungulira ponse, ndipo munakhala mosatekeseka.
12 Ndipo pamene munaona kuti Nahasi mfumu ya ana a Amoni inadza kuponyana nanu, munanena ndi ine, Koma mfumu itiweruze; ngakhale mfumu yanu ndiye Yehova Mulungu wanu.
13 Chifukwa chake siyi mfumu imene munaisankha, imene munandipempha; ndipo taonani, Yehova anakuikirani mfumu.
14 Mukaopa Yehova ndi kumtumikira ndi kumvera mau ake, ndi kusakana lamulo lake la Yehova, ndipo inu ndi mfumu imene iweruza inu mukadzatsata Yehova Mulungu wanu, chabwino.
15 Koma mukapanda kumvera mau a Yehova, ndi kupikisana ndi lamulo la Yehova, dzanja la Yehova lidzatsutsana nanu, monga linatsutsana ndi makolo anu.
16 Chifukwa chake tsono, imani pano, muone chinthu ichi chachikulu Yehova adzachichita pamaso panu.
17 Si nyengo yakumweta tirigu lero kodi? Ndidzaitana kwa Yehova, kuti atumize bingu ndi mvula; ndipo mudzazindikira ndi kuona kuti choipa chanu munachichita pamaso pa Yehova ndi kudzipemphera mfumu, nchachikulu.
18 Momwemo Samuele anaitana kwa Yehova; ndipo Yehova anatumiza bingu ndi mvula tsiku lomwelo; ndipo anthu onse anaopa kwambiri Yehova ndi Samuele.
19 Ndipo anthu onse ananena ndi Samuele, Mupempherere akapolo anu kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, kuti tingafe; popeza pamwamba pa zoipa zathu zonse tinaonjeza choipa ichi, chakuti tinadzipemphera mfumu.
20 Ndipo Samuele ananena kwa anthuwo, Musaope; munachitadi choipa ichi chonse, koma musaleka kutsata Yehova, koma mutumikire Yehova ndi mtima wanu wonse;
21 musapatukire inu kutsata zinthu zachabe, zosapindulitsa, zosapulumutsa, popeza zili zopanda pake.
22 Pakuti Yehova sadzasiya anthu ake chifukwa cha dzina lake lalikulu; pakuti kudamkomera Yehova kukuyesani inu anthu a Iye yekha.
23 Ndipo inenso, kukhale kutali ndi ine, kuchimwira Yehova ndi kuleka kukupemphererani; koma ndidzakulangizani njira yabwino ndi yolungama.
24 Koma mumuope Yehova, ndi kumtumikira koona, ndi mtima wanu wonse; lingalirani zinthu zazikuluzo Iye anakuchitirani.
