4 Tsono akuluakulu onse a Israeli anasonkhana pamodzi ndipo anabwera kwa Samueli ku Rama. 5 Iwo anati kwa iye “Taonani, inu mwakula tsopano ndipo ana anu sakutsata makhalidwe anu abwino. Tsono mutipatse mfumu kuti izitilamulira, monga momwe ikuchitira mitundu ina yonseyi.”
6 Koma mawu oti, “Mutipatse mfumu kuti izitilamulira,” sanakondweretse Samueli. Choncho anapemphera kwa Yehova. 7 Yehova anamuyankha nati, “Mvera zonse zimene anthuwa akukuwuza. Si ndiwe amene akumukana, koma akukana Ine kuti ndikhale mfumu yawo. 8 Kuyambira tsiku limene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto mpaka lero zochita zawo zakhala zondikana Ine nʼkumatumikira milungu ina. Tsopano akukukananso iwe. 9 Tsono amvere zimene akunena, koma uwachenjeze kwambiri ndipo uwawuzitse za khalidwe la mfumu imene idzawalamulire.”
10 Samueli anawawuza anthu amene amamupempha mfumu aja mawu onse a Yehova. 11 Iye anati, “Zimene mfumu imene idzakulamulireniyo idzachite ndi izi: Izidzatenga ana anu aamuna kuti akhale ankhondo ake; ena pa magaleta ake, ena pa akavalo ake ndipo ena othamanga patsogolo pa magaleta akewo.
12 Ena adzawayika kukhala olamulira asilikali 1,000, ena olamulira asilikali makumi asanu, ndi ena otipula minda yake, ndi kukolola ndiponso ena adzakhala osula zida zankhondo ndi zida za magaleta ake. 13 Iyo idzatenga ana anu akazi kuti akhale oyenga mafuta onunkhira, ophika chakudya ndi kupanga buledi. 14 Idzatenga minda yanu yabwino ya mpesa ndi ya mitengo ya olivi ndipo adzayipereka kwa antchito ake. 15 Idzatenga gawo lakhumi la tirigu wanu ndi mphesa zanu ndi kupereka kwa nduna zake ndi akapitawo ake.
16 Mfumuyo idzatenga antchito anu aamuna ndi aakazi. Idzatenganso ngʼombe zanu zabwino ndi abulu anu nʼkumazingwiritsa ntchito. 17 Iyo idzatenga gawo lakhumi la zoweta zanu, ndipo inu eni mudzakhala akapolo ake. 18 Nthawi imeneyo ikadzafika inu mudzalira momvetsa chisoni chifukwa cha mfumu imene mwadzisankhira, koma Yehova sadzakuyankhani.”
19 Koma anthu anakana kumumvera Samueli. Iwo anati, “Ayi! Ife tikufuna mfumu yotilamulira. 20 Kotero ifenso tidzakhala ngati mayiko ena. Mfumu yathu idzatiweruza ndiponso idzatuluka nafe kutitsogolera kukamenya nkhondo.”
14 Ndipo Samueli anati kwa anthuwo, “Tiyeni tipite ku Giligala kuti tikatsimikizenso kuti Sauli ndi mfumu yathu.” 15 Choncho anthu onse anapita ku Giligala ndipo kumeneko Samueli anakalonga Sauli ufumu pamaso pa Yehova. Pambuyo pake anthu anapereka nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo Sauli ndi Aisraeli onse anachita chikondwerero chachikulu.

138 Ndidzakuyamikani Yehova ndi mtima wanga wonse;

Pakuti zimene zimaoneka ndi zosakhalitsa, koma zimene sizioneka ndi zamuyaya.

22 Ndipo aphunzitsi amalamulo omwe anachokera ku Yerusalemu anati, “Iye wagwidwa ndi Belezebabu! Ndi ulamuliro wa mkulu wa ziwanda akutulutsa ziwanda.”
23 Pamenepo Yesu anawayitana nawayankhula mʼmafanizo nati: “Kodi Satana angatulutse bwanji Satana? 24 Ngati ufumu ugawanikana mwa iwo okha, ufumu umenewo sungakhalitse. 25 Ngati nyumba igawanikana mwa iyo yokha, nyumba imeneyo singathe kuyima. 26 Ndipo ngati Satana adzitsutsa yekha sangathe kuyima; ulamuliro wake watha. 27 Kunena zoona, palibe munthu angalowe mʼnyumba ya munthu wamphamvu ndi kutenga katundu wake pokhapokha atayamba wamumanga munthu wamphamvuyo.
