99 Yehova akulamulira,
mitundu ya anthu injenjemere;
Iye wakhala pa mpando wake waufumu, pakati pa akerubi,
dziko lapansi ligwedezeke.
2 Mʼziyoni wamkulu ndi Yehova;
Iye ndi wokwezeka pamwamba pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
3 Anthu atamande dzina lanu lalikulu ndi loopsa kwambiri,
Iye ndi woyera.
4 Mfumu yamphamvu, iyo imakonda chilungamo
Inu mwakhazikitsa khalidwe losakondera;
mwachita zolungama ndi zoyenera mwa Yakobo.
5 Kwezani Yehova Mulungu wathu

Iye ndi woyera.
6 Mose ndi Aaroni anali ena mwa ansembe ake,

ndipo Iyeyo anawayankha.
7 Iye anayankhula nawo kuchokera mʼchipilala cha mtambo;
iwo anasunga malamulo ake ndi zophunzitsa zomwe anawapatsa.
8 Inu Yehova Mulungu wathu,
munawayankha iwo;
Inu kwa Israeli munali Mulungu wokhululuka,
ngakhale munawalanga pa zochita zawo zoyipa.
9 Kwezani Yehova Mulungu wathu
ndipo mumulambire pa phiri lake loyera,
pakuti Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi woyera.
11 Tsono Elikana anapita ku mudzi kwawo ku Rama, koma mnyamatayo amatumikira Yehova pansi pa ulamuliro wa wansembe Eli.
Kuyipa kwa Ana a Eli
12 Ana a Eli anali ana achabechabe pakuti samasamala za Yehova. 13 Ndipo chizolowezi cha ansembe pakati pa anthu chinali motere kuti pamene munthu aliyense ankapereka nsembe ndipo nyama ija ikuwira pa moto, mtumiki wa wansembe ankabwera ndi chifoloko cha mano atatu mʼdzanja lake. 14 Iye ankachipisa mu mʼphikamo, ndipo wansembeyo amatenga chilichonse chimene folokoyo yabaya. Umu ndi mmene ansembewo amachitira ndi Aisraeli onse amene amabwera ku Silo. 15 Ndipo ngakhale mafuta asanatenthedwe, mtumiki wansembe amabwera ndi kunena kwa munthu amene akupereka nsembeyo kuti, “Ndipatse nyama kuti ndiwotche, pakuti Yehova salandira nyama yophika koma yayiwisi.”

22 Koma Mulungu, anafuna kuonetsa mkwiyo wake ndi kuti mphamvu yake idziwike. Iye anapirira modekha mtima kwambiri zochita za anthu omwe anawakwiyirawo amene anayeneradi chiwonongeko. 23 Iye anachita izi kufuna kuonetsa kulemera kwa ulemerero wake ndi kuti udziwike kwa amene analandira chifundo chake.

26 ndipo,
“Pamalo omwewo pamene ananena kuti,
‘Sindinu anthu anga,’
pomweponso adzawatchula kuti, ‘Ana a Mulungu wamoyo.’ ”
27 Yesaya anafuwula za Aisraeli kuti,
“Ngakhale chiwerengero cha Aisraeli chingakhale ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja,
otsala okha ndiye adzapulumuke.
28 Pakuti Ambuye adzagamula milandu
ya anthu pa dziko lapansi mofulumira ndi kumaliziratu.”
29 Monga momwe Yesaya ananena malo ena kuti,
“Ngati Yehova Wamphamvuzonse
akanapanda kutisiyira zidzukulu,
ife tikanawonongeka
ngati anthu a ku Sodomu, tikanakhala ngati anthu a ku Gomora.”
