26 Alimwi ndakatalika kukombelezya Jehova akumwaambila kuti, ‘O Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova, utabanyonyooni bantu bako. Ndubono lwako iluyandisi,+ aabo mbookanununa munguzu zyako zipati akubagwisya mu Egepita ajanza lyanguzu.+
27 Koyeeya babelesi bako, Abrahamu, Izaka a Jakobo.+ Utalangi kuyuma kwamyoyo yabantu aaba akubisya kwabo alimwi azibi zyabo.+
28 Buyo-buyo bantu bamucisi oomo mookatugwisya inga baamba kuti: “Jehova wakaalilwa kubanjizya munyika njaakabasyomezya alimwi akaambo kakuti wakabasulaika, wakabagwisizya kuti akabajaye munkanda.”+
