15 Asi vaIsraeri vakati kuna Jehovha, “Takatadza hedu. Tiitirei zvose zvamunoona kuti zvakanaka kwamuri, asi tapota tinunurei henyu nhasi.”
I aku la na mamo o Iseraela ia Iehova, Ua hana hewa makou, o ka mea i pono i kou mau maka, pela oe e hana mai ai ia makou. Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e hoola mai ia makou i keia la wale no.
