Chisha Samueli waambira Aiziraeli osi, “Lolani, nkakutimizirani gosi mrigoniambira nami nkamtawaza mfalume akutawaleni. 
Sambi mwimwi muna mfalume wa kukutawalani. Mino nkakala mkare na ni tele komvwi ela anangu a phamwenga namwi. Nami nkakala chilongozi wenu hangu uhana wangu hadi rero. 
Nami himi, phahi mugombani mbere za Mwenyezi Mlungu na mbere za masihiwe. Nahala ngʼombe ya ani? Au nahala punda wa ani? Au ni ani nriyemuonera? Au naphokera hongo kula kpwa ani ili nisilamule kpwa haki? Napho nahala chochosi ndakuuyizirani enye.” 
Nao achiamba, “Kuyahuchenga, wala kuyahuonera, wala kuyaphokera chitu kula kpwa mutu yeyesi.” 
Naye achiaambira, “Mwenyezi Mlungu na masihiwe osi ni mashaidi rero kukala siyahala chitu kula kpwa mutu yeyesi.” Nao achiamba, “Iye ni shaidi.” 
Samueli achienderera kuaambira, “Mwenyezi Mlungu ni shaidi, iye ndiye ariyetsambula Musa na Aruni na iye ndiye ariyeatuluza akare enu kula tsi ya Misiri. 
Sambi imani mbere za Mwenyezi Mlungu, nikutambukizeni mahendo gosi ga haki ambago Mwenyezi Mlungu wakuhenderani mwimwi na akare enu. 
“Jakobo ariphophiya Misiri na Amisiri ariphoaonera akare enu, aho amririra Mwenyezi Mlungu naye Mwenyezi Mlungu achihuma Musa na Aruni, ambao aatuluza akare enu kula Misiri, achedzaaika phatu phapha. 
Ela amyala Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wao naye achiaguza na kuatiya mikononi mwa Sisera, mkpwulu wa jeshi ra Hazori, mikononi mwa Afilisti na katika mikono ya mfalume wa Moabu. Nao achipigana na akare a Aiziraeli. 
Nao amririra Mwenyezi Mlungu achimuamba, ‘Hukahenda dambi, kpwa kukala hukamricha Mwenyezi Mlungu na kuahumikira Mabaali na Maashitorethi. Ela sambi huokole mikononi mwa aviha ehu, naswi hundakuhumikira.’ 
Mwenyezi Mlungu waahuma Jerubaali, Baraka, Jefutha na Samueli, achikuokolani kula mikononi mwa aviha enu a pande zosi namwi mchiishi salama. 
Ela mriphomuona Nahashi, mfalume wa Aamoni analonda kupigana namwi, mwaniambira, ‘Hunalonda mfalume ahutawale,’ dzagbwe Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, ndiye mfalume wenu. 
Sambi phahi, mfalume mriyemtsambula na kumlonda ndiye hiyu. Mwenyezi Mlungu akakuikirani mfalume, akutawaleni. 
Napho mundamuogopha Mwenyezi Mlungu na kumuhumikira, kusikira sautiye na kusavundza amuriye; chisha ichikala mwimwi na mfalume anayekutawalani mundalunga Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, rindakala dzambo nono! 
Ela msiphoitii sauti ya Mwenyezi Mlungu, mchivundza amuriye, ndipho nduni ya Mwenyezi Mlungu indakala dzulu yenu dza irivyokala dzulu ya akare enu. 
“Sambi imani muone dzambo kulu ambaro Mwenyezi Mlungu andarihenda mbere zenu. 
Dze! Hino si kazikazi, wakati wa kuvuna mtsere? Ela mino ndamvoya Mwenyezi Mlungu arehe mvula na chiguruguru, namwi mundamanya na kuona kukala uyi wenu muriouhenda matsoni pha Mwenyezi Mlungu wa kudzitakira mfalume ni munji sana.” 
Phahi Samueli wamvoya Mwenyezi Mlungu, naye Mwenyezi Mlungu achireha mvula na chiguruguru siku hiyo, nao atu osi achimuogopha sana Mwenyezi Mlungu phamwenga na ye Samueli. 
Atu osi achimuambira Samueli, “Huvoyere kpwa Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlunguo, swiswi atumwao husedze hukafwa mana hukaenjereza dambi zehu zosi kpwa uyi huno wa kudzitakira mfalume.” 
Samueli wajibu achiamba, “Msiogophe, ni kpweli mwahenda uyi huno wosi, ela msigaluke mkaricha kulunga Mwenyezi Mlungu, badalaye muhumikireni Mwenyezi Mlungu kpwa mioyo yenu yosi. 
Wala msiuyire kuabudu vizuka, vitu visivyo na fwaida ambavyo taviokola na kutivya mana tavifwaha chitu. 
Mana Mwenyezi Mlungu kandaaricha atue kpwa ajili ya dzinare kulu risiberwe, kpwa kukala ikamfwahira Mwenyezi Mlungu kukuhendani mwimwi mkale atue mwenye. 
Ela mino sindamuhendera dambi Mwenyezi Mlungu kpwa kuricha kukuvoyerani. Nindaenderera kukufundzani njira iriyo nono na ya sawa. 
Muogopheni Mwenyezi Mlungu bahi, mukamhumikire kpwa uaminifu na mioyo yenu yosi. Chisha tambukirani vira arivyokuhenderani mambo makulu. 
Ela mchienderera kuhenda mai, mwimwi phamwenga na ye mfalume wenu mundaangamizwa.”
