16 “Kathathu ngonyaka onke amadoda amele aye kwindawo uYehova uThixo wenu aza kuyikhetha: kwiTheko Lezonka Ezingenagwele,+ iTheko Leeveki+ neTheko Lamakhusi,*+ yaye akukho nanye emele ize kuYehova ingaphethanga nto.

18 Yena uSamuweli wayesebenzela+ uYehova, enxibe* iefodi yelinen,+ nangona wayeseyinkwenkwana. 19 Umama wakhe wayedla ngokumenzela isambatho esincinci esingenamikhono, aze amphathele sona iminyaka ngeminyaka xa enyuka nomyeni wakhe ukuza kunikela umbingelelo waminyaka le.+
