18 Pa tsiku lachitatu, Yosefe anawauza kuti: “Popeza ine ndimaopa+ Mulungu woona, chitani izi kuti mukhale ndi moyo:

17 Musamachitirane chinyengo,+ ndipo muziopa Mulungu wanu,+ chifukwa ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.+

15 Abwanamkubwa amene analipo ine ndisanakhale, ankalemetsa anthu, ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku anali kulandira masekeli* 40 a siliva kuti akagule chakudya ndi vinyo. Komanso atumiki awo anali kupondereza anthu.+ Koma ine sindinachite zimenezo+ chifukwa choopa Mulungu.+

7 Kuopa Yehova ndiko chiyambi cha kudziwa zinthu.+ Nzeru ndi malangizo zimanyozedwa ndi zitsiru.*+

13 Kuopa Yehova kumatanthauza kudana ndi zoipa.+ Ndimadana ndi kudzikweza, kunyada,+ njira yoipa ndiponso pakamwa ponena zopotoka.+

17 Lemekezani anthu, kaya akhale amtundu wotani.+ Kondani gulu lonse la abale,+ opani Mulungu,+ lemekezani mfumu.+
