12 Pavuli paki, wangwamba kulota malotu. Iyu wanguwona masitepusi* ngo ngangutuwa pacharu chapasi kufika kuchanya ndipu penga angelu aku Chiuta wo akweranga ndi kusika pamasitepusi* ngo.+
13 Ndipu awonani! Pachanya pa masitepusi ngo, penga Yehova ndipu wangukamba kuti:
“Ndini Yehova Chiuta waku Abrahamu mpapi waku kweniso Chiuta waku Isaki.+ Charu cho wagonapu ndazakuchipereka kwaku yiwi kweniso ku mphapu* yaku.+
14 Mphapu* yaku yazamuja yinandi nadi nge fuvu la pacharu chapasi+ ndipu mphapu* yaku yazamusapaliya kuzambwi* ndi kuvuma,* kunkhondi* ndi kumwera. Kuziya mwaku yiwi kweniso kuziya mu mphapu* yaku, mabanja ngosi nga pacharu chapasi ngazamutumbikika.*+
15 Ini nde nawi, ndikuvikiliyengi kwekosi ko ulutengi ndipu ndazakukuweze mucharu chenichi.+ Ndazakukuleka cha mpaka po ndazifiskiya vo ndakulayizga.”+
16 Pavuli paki, Yakobe wanguyuka ndipu wangukamba kuti: “Kukamba uneneska, Yehova we pamalu nganu, kweni ini ndinguziŵa cha venivi.”
17 Iyu wanguchita mantha ukongwa ndipu wangukamba so kuti: “Malu yanga ngakuchitiska mantha! Malu yanga ndi nyumba yaku Chiuta+ ndipuso ndi geti la kuchanya.”+
18 Mwaviyo, Yakobe wanguyuka ndi mlenjilenji, wanguto mwa wo wangunyekezapu mutu waki, wanguwumika kuti uje mwa wakukumbukiyapu ndipu pachanya paki wangupunguliyapu mafuta.+
19 Sonu malu ngenanga wangungadana kuti Beteli,* kweni tawuni yapafupi ndi malu ngenanga pakwamba yadanikanga kuti Luzi.+
20 Pavuli paki, Yakobe wangulapizga kuti: “Asani Chiuta walutirizgengi kundivikiliya pa ulendu wangu kweniso asani wandipaskengi chiŵandi chakuti ndiryengi ndi vakuvwala vakuti ndivwalengi
21 ndipuso asani ndazamuwere kunyumba ya ada mu chimangu, mbwenu Yehova wazamulongo nadi kuti ndi Chiuta wangu.
22 Ndipuso mwa uwu wo ndawumika nge mwa wakukumbukiyapu wazamuja nyumba yaku Chiuta.+ Kweniso kwambula kutondeka, ndazakukupaskani chatchumi cha chinthu chechosi cho mwazakundipaska.”
