Akati, ‘Enda undotsakatisa vatadzi ava vaAmareki uvarwise kusvikira vapera kuti nho.’ Wakagoregererei kuteerera zvakanzi naTenzi uite? Ko wakabhururukira zvinhu zvokupamba sei, uchitadzira Tenzi nechakaipa chakadaro?” Sauro akapindurawo Samueri achiti, “Ko inga ndakaita wani zvakanzi naTenzi zviitwe. Ndakaitaka ini basa randakatumwa naTenzi. Ndakangouya naAgagi mambo weAmareki asi ndakatsakatisa vamwe vaAmareki vose. Asi vanhu vakatoraka mombe nehwai idzi pazvinhu zvaiva zvapambwa. Vakatora zvaiva zvakanakisisa kwazvo pazvinhu zvakanga zvakaturirwa kuna Mwari kuti zviparadzwe kuti vazopira izvozvo kuna Tenzi, Mwari wenyu kuGirigari.” Samueri ndokutiwo, “Tenzi anofarira here mipiro yokupisa kana kuti zvibayiro? Handiti Tenzi anotofarira kuti izwi rake riteererwe? Chinzwa! Kuteerera kuri nani pane kupira chibayiro, kuva unonzwa kuri nani pane kupira mafuta ehondohwe; nokuti kupanduka chitadzo chimwechetecho nokushopera, kuzvitutumadzawo chiri chimwecho nouipi nokunamata zvifananidzo. Zvawaramba kuteerera Tenzi, naiyewo akurambawo paumambo.” Sauro akati, “Inga ndakatopara chitadzo nokuti ndakatyora mutemo waTenzi, ndakatadzawo kuchengeta mashoko enyu pamusana pokuti ndakatya vanhu, nokuteerera kwandakaita zvavaireva. Saka zvino ndinokumbirisawo ndiregerereiwo chitadzo changu, tidzokere tose kwakare ndindonamata Tenzi pakare.” Samueri akati kuna Sauro, “Handiende newe ini nokuti wakaramba shoko raTenzi, naiyewo Tenzi akurambawo paumambo hwomuIsiraeri.”
