2 Ndiyeno Yehova anauza Gidiyoni kuti: “Anthu amene uli nawowa ndi ochuluka kwambiri kuti ndipereke Amidiyani m’manja mwawo,+ chifukwa mwina Isiraeli angadzitukumule+ pamaso panga ndi kunena kuti, ‘Ndinadzipulumutsa ndekha ndi dzanja langa.’+

16 Koma iye anati: “Usaope,+ popeza ife tili ndi ambiri kuposa amene ali ndi iwowo.”+

11 Tsopano Asa anayamba kupemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wake,+ kuti: “Inu Yehova mukafuna kuthandiza, zilibe kanthu kuti anthuwo ndi ambiri kapena ndi opanda mphamvu.+ Tithandizeni Yehova Mulungu wathu chifukwa tikudalira inu,+ ndipo tabwera m’dzina lanu+ kudzamenyana ndi khamuli. Inu Yehova ndinu Mulungu wathu.+ Musalole kuti munthu akuposeni mphamvu.”+

33 Mwa chikhulupiriro, anthu amenewa anagonjetsa maufumu pa nkhondo,+ anachita chilungamo,+ analandira malonjezo+ ndiponso anatseka mikango pakamwa.+
