9 Ndipo Mulungu anadalitsa Nowa ndi ana ake aamuna nati kwa iwo, “Berekanani ndipo muchulukane ndi kudzaza dziko lapansi. ² Nyama zonse za dziko lapansi, ndi mbalame zonse za mlengalenga, ndi chamoyo chilichonse chokwawa, ndiponso nsomba zonse za ku nyanja; zidzakuopani ndipo ndazipereka kuti muzilamulire. ³ Tsopano chamoyo chilichonse chidzakhala chakudya chanu. Monga momwe ndinakupatsirani ndiwo zamasamba, tsopano ndikupatsaninso nyama iliyonse.

⁴ “Koma musamadye nyama imene ikanali ndi magazi oyenda. ⁵ Aliyense wopha munthu adzaphedwa, nyama iliyonse yopha munthu idzaphedwa, munthu aliyense wopha munthu mnzake, adzaphedwa.

Chigumula sichidzawononganso dziko lapansi.”

¹² Ndipo Mulungu anati, “Ine ndikupereka chizindikiro ichi cha pangano langa la pakati pa Ine ndi iwe, ana ako, zamoyo zonse, pamodzi ndi mibado ya mʼtsogolo. ¹³ Ndayika utawaleza wanga mʼmitambo, ndipo chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano langa ndi dziko lapansi. ¹⁴ Nthawi zonse pakakhala mitambo mu mlengalenga ndipo utawaleza uwoneka, ¹⁵ ndizikumbukira pangano langa pakati pa Ine ndi inu ndi zolengedwa zonse.

¹⁷ Choncho Mulungu anati kwa Nowa, “Ichi ndiye chizindikiro cha pangano limene ndalichita pakati pa Ine ndi zamoyo zonse pa dziko lapansi.”

³² Kodi ndinenenso chiyani? Nthawi yandichepera yoti ndinene za Gideoni, Baraki, Samsoni, Yefita, Davide, Samueli ndi aneneri, ³³ amene ndi chikhulupiriro anagonjetsa mafumu, anakhazikitsa chilungamo ndi kulandira zimene zinalonjezedwa.

Anali ofowoka koma analandira mphamvu; anasanduka amphamvu pa nkhondo, nathamangitsa magulu a ankhondo a adani awo. ³⁵ Amayi ena analandira anthu awo amene anafa, ataukitsidwanso. Enanso anazunzidwa ndipo anakana kumasulidwa, kuti adzaukenso ndi moyo wabwino. ³⁶ Ena anawaseka ndi kuwakwapula, pamenenso ena anamangidwa ndi kupita ku ndende. ³⁷ Anagendedwa miyala; anachekedwa pakati; ena anaphedwa ndi lupanga. Iwo anayendayenda atavala zikopa zankhosa ndi zikopa zambuzi, umphawi okhaokha, ozunzidwa ndi kuvutitsidwa. ³⁸ Dziko lapansi silinawayenere. Anayendayenda mʼzipululu ndi mapiri, ndiponso mʼmapanga ndi mʼmaenje.

³⁹ Onsewa anayamikidwa chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chawo, komabe palibe wa iwo amene analandira zimene analonjezedwa. ⁴⁰ Mulungu anatikonzera ife kanthu koposa, kuti iwo asayesedwe angwiro popanda ife.
