“Ine ndamva pemphero lako ndipo ndadzisankhira malo ano kukhala Nyumba yanga yoperekeramo nsembe.
13“Ine ndikatseka kumwamba kuti mvula isagwe, kapena kulamulira dzombe kuti liwononge dziko, kapena kutumiza mliri pakati pa anthu, 14ngati anthu anga, amene amatchedwa ndi dzina langa adzichepetsa ndi kupemphera ndi kufunafuna nkhope yanga, nasiya njira zawo zoyipa, pamenepo Ine ndidzamva kumwamba ndipo ndidzakhululuka tchimo lawo ndi kuchiritsa dziko lawo. 15Ndipo maso anga adzatsekuka ndi makutu anga adzakhala tcheru kumva mapemphero a pamalo pano. 16Ine ndasankha ndipo ndapatula Nyumba yangayi kotero kuti ndidzakhala mʼmenemo kwamuyaya. Maso ndi mtima wanga zidzakhala pano nthawi zonse.
17“Kunena za iwe, ukayenda pamaso panga mokhulupirika monga momwe anachitira abambo ako Davide, ndi kuchita zonse zimene ndakulamula, ndi kusamalitsa malangizo ndi malamulo anga, 18Ine ndidzakhazikitsa mpando wako waufumu, monga ndinachitira pangano ndi abambo ako Davide pamene ndinati, ‘Sipadzasowa munthu wolamulira Israeli.’
19“Koma ngati iwe udzapatuka ndi kutaya malangizo ndi malamulo amene ndakupatsa ndi kupita kukatumikira milungu ina ndi kuyipembedza, 20pamenepo Ine ndidzazula Aisraeli mʼdziko langa limene ndinawapatsa, ndiponso ndidzayikana Nyumba ino imene ndadzipatulira. Ndipo udzakhala ngati mwambi ndi chinthu chonyozedwa pakati pa anthu onse. 21Ndipo ngakhale kuti tsopano Nyumba ya Mulunguyi ndi yokongola kwambiri, onse amene adzadutsa pano adzadabwa kwambiri ndipo adzati, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova wachita chinthu chotere mʼdziko muno ndi pa Nyumba ya Mulunguyi?’ 22Anthu adzayankha kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chakuti asiya Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo, amene anawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndipo akangamira milungu ina ndi kumayipembedza ndi kuyitumikira. Choncho Iye wabweretsa zovuta zonsezi.’ ”
