USawule wathi : Babuye nazo kuma -Amaleki, ngokuba abantu bayeka ezinhle zezimvu nezezinkabi ukuba bahlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ; ezinye siziqedile nya.

UJehova wakuthuma indlela, wathi: Hamba uqede nya izoni, ama-Amaleki, ulwe nawo aze aphele.

Kepha uSawule nabantu bayeka u-Agagi nezinhle nezikhulupheleyo zezimvu nezezinkabi, namawundlu, nakho konke okuhle; babengavumi ukukuqeda lokho; kodwa zonke izinto ezidelekileyo nezondileyo baziqeda nya. Ukungalaleli nokulahlwa kukaSawule

Yiba nomusa kimi , Nkulunkulu, ngokuba abantu bafuna ukungigwi nya; usuku lonke bayangicindezela belwa.

Izitha ziphelile , zachitheka kuze kube phakade ; imizi wayisimbula , ukukhunjulwa kwayo kwaphela nya.

ziphele izithombe, zithi nya.

UJehova uyakudala phezu kwayo yonke indawo y entaba yaseSiyoni naphezu kwemihlangano yayo ifu nomusi emini nokukha nya kwelangabi lomlilo ebusuku, ngokuba phezu kwayo yonke inkazimulo kuyakuba khona isivikelo.

Khuphukela ezweni laseMeratayimi , kulona nakwabakhileyo ePhekodi , uchithe, uqede nya emva kwabo , usho uJehova , wenze konke engikuyale ngakho.

Ocibishelayo uyakunsala umnsal o kogoba umnsalo khona , nakuye oziphakamisa ngebhantshi lakhe lensimbi; ningasindisi izinsizwa zalo, niqede nya impi yalo yonke.
