5 Uze ungaqubudi kuzo okanye uqhutyelwe ekuzikhonzeni,+ kuba mna Yehova Thixo wakho ndinguThixo ofuna uzinikelo olupheleleyo,+ ndizisa isohlwayo ngesiphoso sooyise phezu koonyana, kwesesithathu isizukulwana nakwesesine isizukulwana, sabandithiyileyo;+

15 Ke kaloku ukuba kubi emehlweni enu ukukhonza uYehova, zikhetheleni namhlanje ukuba ngubani na eniya kumkhonza,+ enoba ngoothixo ababekhonzwa+ ngookhokho benu ababengaphesheya koMlambo okanye oothixo bama-Amori enihleli ezweni lawo.+ Ke mna nendlu yam, siya kukhonza uYehova.”+

3 Wathi ke uSamuweli kuyo yonke indlu kaSirayeli: “Ukuba nibuyela kuYehova ngentliziyo yenu yonke,+ balahleni oothixo basemzini abaphakathi kwenu+ kwakunye nemifanekiso ka-Ashtoreti,+ nize nibhekise ngokungaxengaxengiyo intliziyo yenu kuYehova nikhonze yena yedwa,+ yaye uya kunihlangula esandleni samaFilisti.”+
