5 Pakuti pa tsiku la msautso

6 Kotero mutu wanga udzakwezedwa
kuposa adani anga amene andizungulira;
pa Nyumba yake ndidzapereka nsembe ndi mfuwu wachimwemwe;
ndidzayimba nyimbo kwa Yehova.

Koma Samueli anati, “Yehova sanasankhe amenewa.” 11 Tsono Samueli anafunsa Yese kuti, “Kodi awa ndi ana ako onse aamuna?”
Yese anayankha kuti, “Ayi, alipo wina wamngʼono amene watsala, koma akuweta nkhosa.”
