Ndiye musamamwe vinyo kapena chakumwa china choledzeretsa, ndipo musamadye chakudya chosaloledwa chilichonse, chifukwa mnyamatayo adzakhala Mnaziri, wopatulikira Mulungu, kuyambira tsiku la kubadwa kwake mpaka tsiku la kufa kwake.’ ”

9Mulungu adamvera pemphero la Manowa, ndipo mngelo wa Mulungu uja adabweranso kwa mkaziyo nampeza atakhala pansi m'munda. Koma mwamuna wake Manowa sanali nao.

10Mkazi uja adathamanga nakauza mwamuna wake kuti, “Munthu uja adaabwera kuno tsiku lijaliyu wandiwonekeranso.”

11Apo Manowa adanyamuka natsata mkazi wake, ndipo adakafika kumene kunali munthuyo nakamufunsa kuti, “Kodi inu ndinu amene mudaalankhula ndi amaiŵa?” Iye adayankha kuti, “Inde ndinedi.”

12Manowa adamufunsa kuti, “Tsono zimene mudanenazi zikadzachitikadi, kodi mnyamatayo azidzakhala bwanji, ndipo azidzachita chiyani?”

13Mngelo wa Chauta uja adauza Manowa kuti, “Zonse zimene ndidaŵauza amaiŵa asamale kuti azichitadi.

14Asati adye chilichonse chochokera ku mphesa, ndipo asati amwe vinyo kapena chakumwa china choledzeretsa kapenanso kudya chinthu chosaloledwa chilichonse. Asunge zonse zimene ndidaŵalamula.”

16Koma mngelo wa Chauta adauza Manowa kuti, “Ngakhaletu mukundidikiritsa chakudyacho, ine sindidya ai. Koma ngati mukonze nsembe yopsereza, muipereke kwa Chauta.” (Monsemo nkuti Manowa ali wosazindikira kuti mlendoyo ndi mngelo wa Chauta.)

17Apo Manowa adauza mngeloyo kuti, “Timati mutiwuze dzina lanu kuti tidzakulemekezeni, zikadzachitikadi zimene mwanenazi.”

18Mngelo wa Chautayo adafunsa Manowa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mukufuna kudziŵa dzina langa? Dzina laketu nlodabwitsa.”

19Pamenepo Manowa adatenga kamwanakambuzi pamodzi ndi chopereka cha chakudya, nakapereka nsembe pa thanthwe kwa Chauta, Iye amene amachita zodabwitsa.

20Pamene malaŵi a moto ankakwera kumwamba kuchokera paguwapo, mngelo wa Chauta uja adakwera m'malaŵi a motowo, Manowa ndi mkazi wake akuyang'ana. Apo iwo adadzigwetsa pansi, naŵeramitsa mitu pansi.
