18 Ndiyeno n’chifukwa chiyani ukufuna kuyenda m’njira ya ku Iguputo+ kuti ukamwe madzi a mumtsinje wa Sihori?+ N’chifukwa chiyani ukufuna kuyenda m’njira yopita kudziko la Asuri+ kuti ukamwe madzi a mumtsinje wa Firate?

11 Pamenepo udzawayankhe kuti, ‘“N’chifukwa chakuti makolo anu anandisiya,”+ watero Yehova, “ndipo anapitirizabe kutsatira milungu ina, kuitumikira ndi kuigwadira.+ Koma ine anandisiya ndipo sanasunge malamulo anga.+

9 Ndipo adzanena kuti: “Anauchitira zimenezi chifukwa chakuti anthu a mumzindawu anasiya pangano la Yehova Mulungu wawo+ ndi kuyamba kulambira milungu ina ndi kuitumikira.”’+

9 Opulumuka anu akadzagwidwa n’kutengedwa kukakhala pakati pa mitundu ina ya anthu, ndithu adzandikumbukira.+ Adzakumbukira mmene ndinamvera kupweteka chifukwa cha mtima wawo wadama umene unawachititsa kundipandukira.+ Adzakumbukiranso mmene ndinamvera kupweteka chifukwa cha maso awo othamangira mafano awo onyansa pofuna kuchita nawo zadama.+ Iwo adzachita manyazi ochita kuonekera pankhope zawo, chifukwa cha zinthu zonse zoipa ndi zonyansa zimene anachita.+
