23 Ke Gideon ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nye ŋutɔ loo alo vinye ŋutsu aɖeke maɖu fia ɖe mia dzi o. Yehowa aɖu fia ɖe mia dzi.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione kiate kinautolu, “ʻE ʻikai te u pule kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai pule ʻa hoku foha kiate kimoutolu: ko Sihova ko ia ia ʻe pule kiate kimoutolu.”
24 Egblɔ na wo be, “Nu ɖeka le asinye, mabia mi, eyae nye be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ sikatogɛ ɖeka nam le eƒe afunyinuawo dome.” Enye Ismaeltɔwo ƒe kɔnu be woade sikatogɛwo.
