Anali ndi liŵiro loposa la ziwombankhanga.
Anali amphamvu kuposa mikango.
24“Inu akazi a ku Israele, mlireni Saulo.
Chifukwa cha iye uja munkavala zovala zabwino zofiira,

Chikondi chako pa ine chinali chodabwitsa kwambiri,
chinali choposa ngakhale chikondi cha akazi.
27“Ha! Kani amphamvu agwa motere,
zida zao zankhondo nkuwonongeka!”
