12 Kalankhule ndi Davide, Atero Yehova, kuti, Ndikuikira zinthu zitatu; udzisankhire wekha cimodzi ca izo, ndikakucitire cimeneco.

Kapena muthawe adani anu akukupitikitsani miyezi itatu? kapena m'dziko mwanu mukhale mliri masiku atatu? Cenjerani tsono ndi kulingalira bwino mau amene ine ndibwere nao kwa wonditumayo.
14 Ndipo Davide ananena ndi Gadi, Ndipsinjika mtima kwambiri, tigwe m'dzanja la Yehova; pakuti zifundo zace nzazikuru; koma tisagwe m'dzanja la munthu.
15 Comweco Yehova anatumiza mliri pa Israyeli kuyambira m'mawa kufikira nthawi yoikika; ndipo anafapo anthu zikwi makumi asanu ndi awiri kuyambira ku Dani kufikira ku Beereseba.
