13 Ngakho uSamuyeli wathi kuSawuli: “Wenze ubuthutha. Awuzange ulalele umlayo owuphiwe nguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.+ Aluba ubuwulalele, uJehova ubezakwenza umbuso wakho uhlale kokuphela ko-Israyeli.

22 USamuyeli wasesithi kuye: “Kuyini okuthokozisa uJehova? Yiminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo+ yini kumbe yikulalela ilizwi likaJehova? Ukulalela kungcono kulomhlatshelo,+ lokwenza okutsheliweyo kuqakathekile kulamafutha+ ezinqama. 23 Phela ukuhlamuka+ kuyafanana lesono sokuhlahlula,+ lokuba lenkani kufanana lokwenza amasalamusi lokukhonza izithombe.* Ngenxa yokuthi walile ukulalela ilizwi likaJehova,+ laye kasafuni ukuthi uqhubeke uyinkosi.”+
