Anthu a mʼdera lakelo amuphe ndi miyala. 3 Munthu ameneyo ndidzamufulatira ndi kumuchotsa pakati pa anzake.’ Popereka mwana wake kwa Moleki, wadetsa malo anga wopatulika ndi kuyipitsa dzina langa loyera. 4 Ngati anthu a mʼderalo achita ngati sakumuona munthuyo pamene akupereka mwana wake kwa Moleki ndi kusamupha, 5 Ineyo ndidzamufulatira pamodzi ndi banja lake. Ndidzawachotsa pakati pa anthu anzawo onse amene anamutsatira, nadziyipitsa okha popembedza Moleki.”
