Mʼmalo mwake, wamkulu pakati panu akhale ngati wamngʼono pa onse, ndipo iye amene alamulira akhale ngati wotumikira. ²⁷ Pakuti wamkulu ndani, iye amene ali pa tebulo kapena iye amene akutumikira? Kodi si iye amene ali pa tebulo? Koma ndili pakati panu ngati mmodzi wokutumikirani. ²⁸ Inu ndinu amene mwayima nane mʼmayesero. ²⁹ Ndipo Ine ndikupatsani inu ufumu, monga momwe Atate anga anandipatsiranso Ine, ³⁰ kuti inu muthe kudya ndi kumwa pa tebulo langa mu ufumu wanga ndi kukhala pa mipando yaufumu kuweruza mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.”
