Salimo la Davide.
23 Yehova ndiye mʼbusa wanga, sindidzasowa kanthu.
2 Amandigoneka pa msipu wobiriwira,
amanditsogolera ku madzi akumwa abwino,
3 amatsitsimutsa moyo wanga.
Amanditsogolera mʼnjira zachilungamo
chifukwa cha dzina lake.
4 Ngakhale ndiyende
mʼchigwa cha mdima wakuda bii,
sindidzaopa choyipa,
pakuti Inu muli ndi ine;
chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu
zimanditonthoza.
5 Mumandikonzera chakudya
adani anga akuona.
Mumadzoza mutu wanga ndi mafuta;
chikho changa chimasefukira.
6 Zoonadi, zokoma ndi chikondi chosasinthika zidzanditsata
masiku onse a moyo wanga,
ndipo ndidzakhala mʼNyumba ya Yehova
kwamuyaya.
22 Koma Samueli anayankha kuti,
“Kodi Yehova amakondwera ndi nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zina
kapena kumvera mawu a ake?
Taona, kumvera ndi kwabwino kuposa nsembe,
ndipo kutchera khutu ndi kwabwino kuposa kupereka mafuta a nkhosa.
23 Pakuti kuwukira kuli ngati tchimo lowombeza,
ndipo kukhala nkhutukumve kuli ngati tchimo lopembedza mafano.
Chifukwa mwakana mawu a Yehova.
Iyenso wakukana kuti iweyo ukhale mfumu.”
24 Tsono Sauli anati kwa Samueli, “Ine ndachimwa. Ndaphwanya malamulo a Yehova ndiponso malangizo anu. Ndinkaopa anthu ndipo ndinawamvera. 25 Tsopano ndikukupemphani, khululukireni tchimo langa ndipo mubwerere nane kuti ndikapembedze Yehova.”
26 Koma Samueli anawuza Sauli kuti, “Ine sindibwerera nawe. Inu mwakana mawu a Yehova. Choncho Iyenso wakukanani kuti musakhale mfumu yolamulira Aisraeli.”
27 Samueli akutembenuka kuti azipita, Sauli anagwira mpendero wa mkanjo wake, ndipo unangʼambika. 28 Samueli anati kwa iye, “Yehova wangʼamba ufumu wanu kuchoka kwa inu, ndipo waupereka kwa mnzanu woposa inu. 29 Mulungu wa ulemerero wa Israeli sanama kapena kusintha maganizo ake; pakuti iye si munthu, kuti asinthe maganizo ake.”
30 Sauli anati, “Ine ndachimwa. Komabe, chonde mundilemekeze pamaso pa akuluakulu, anthu anga, ndiponso pamaso pa Israeli. Mubwerere nane kuti ndikapembedze Yehova Mulungu wanu.” 31 Pamenepo Samueli anabwerera ndi Sauli, ndipo Sauli anapembedza Yehova.
5 Choncho, monga ana okondedwa, tsatirani chitsanzo cha Mulungu. 2 Muzikondana monga Khristu anakonda ife nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife monga chopereka cha fungo lokoma ndi nsembe kwa Mulungu.
