Deuteronomo 16
1 Samalirani mwezi wa Abibu ndi kukondwerera Paska wa Yehova Mulungu wanu, chifukwa pa mwezi wa Abibu, usiku, Iye anakutulutsani mu Igupto.
“Observe the month of Abib, and you have made a Passover to your God YHWH, for in the month of Abib your God YHWH has brought you out of Egypt by night;
2 Mumuphere Yehova Mulungu wanu nsembe ya Paska, chiweto chochokera pa nkhosa zanu kapena ngʼombe zanu kumalo kumene Yehova adzasankha kuti akhazikeko dzina lake.
and you have sacrificed a Passover to your God YHWH, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.
3 Musadyere pamodzi ndi buledi wopanga ndi yisiti, koma kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti, buledi wa masautso, chifukwa munachoka ku Igupto mwamsangamsanga kuti pa masiku onse a moyo wanu muzikumbukira nthawi imene munanyamukira ku Igupto.
You do not eat any fermented thing with it; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things with it, bread of affliction (for you have come out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all [the] days of your life;
4 Yisiti asapezeke kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri pa katundu wanu mʼdziko lanu lonse. Ndipo musasunge nyama imene mwapereka nsembe madzulo a tsiku loyamba mpaka mmawa.
and leaven is not seen with you in all your border [for] seven days, and there does not remain [any] of the flesh which you sacrifice at evening on the first day until morning.
5 Musamangopereka nsembe ya Paska mu mzinda wina uliwonse umene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani,
You are not able to sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you,
6 koma ku malo wokhawo amene Iye adzawasankhe kukhazikitsako Dzina lake. Kumeneko ndiye muzikapereka nsembe ya Paska madzulo, pamene dzuwa likulowa, pa tsiku lokumbukira kutuluka mu Igupto.
except at the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell—there you sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of your coming out of Egypt;
7 Muyiwotche ndi kuyidya pa malo pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe. Kenaka mmawa mubwerere ku matenti anu.
and you have cooked and eaten in the place on which your God YHWH fixes, and have turned in the morning and gone to your tents;
8 Kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muzikhala ndi msonkhano wa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndipo musamagwire ntchito iliyonse.
[for] six days you eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to your God YHWH; you do no work.
9 Muziwerenga masabata asanu ndi awiri kuyambira pamene mwatenga chikwakwa ndi kuyamba kumweta tirigu wachilili.
You number seven weeks for yourself; you begin to number seven weeks from the beginning of the sickle among the standing grain,
10 Pamenepo muzichita Chikondwerero cha Masabata pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu popereka chopereka chaufulu mofanana ndi madalitso amene Yehova Mulungu wakupatsani
and you have observed the Celebration of Weeks to your God YHWH, a tribute of a free-will offering of your hand, which you give as your God YHWH blesses you.
11 Ndipo inu, ana anu aamuna, aakazi, antchito anu aamuna, adzakazi, Alevi a mʼmizinda mwanu, alendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye okhala pakati panu, mukondwere pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ku malo amene adzawasankhe kukhazikitsako dzina lake.
And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in your midst, in the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there,
12 Kumbukirani kuti inunso munali akapolo ku Igupto, ndiye muzitsatira malangizo awa mosamalitsa.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and have observed and done these statutes.
13 Mukatha kukolola tirigu wanu ndi kupsinya vinyo wanu, muzikhala ndi Chikondwerero cha Misasa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
You observe the Celebration of Shelters for yourself [for] seven days, in your ingathering of your threshing-floor and of your wine-vat;
14 Musangalale pa chikondwerero chanu, inu, ana anu aamuna, aakazi, antchito anu aamuna, adzakazi, Alevi, alendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye amene ali mʼmizinda yanu.
and you have rejoiced in your celebration, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates.
15 Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzichita chikondwererochi kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kumalo kumene Yehova adzasankhe. Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani inu pa zokolola zanu ndi pa ntchito za manja anu, ndipo chimwemwe chanu chidzakhala chathunthu.
[For] seven days you celebrate before your God YHWH in the place which YHWH chooses, for your God YHWH blesses you in all your increase and in every work of your hands, and you have been only rejoicing.
16 Amuna onse azionekera pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu katatu pa chaka ku malo amene Iye adzasankha. Pa Chikondwerero cha Buledi wopanda Yisiti, pa Chikondwerero cha Masabata ndi pa Chikondwerero cha Misasa. Munthu aliyense asadzapite pamaso pa Yehova wopanda kanthu mʼmanja mwake.
Three times in a year all of your males appear before your God YHWH in the place which He chooses: in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters; and they do not appear before YHWH empty;
17 Aliyense wa inu adzabweretse mphatso molingana ndi momwe Yehova Mulungu wanu wakudalitsirani.
each [gives] according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of your God YHWH, which He has given to you.
18 Musankhe oweruza ndi akuluakulu a fuko lanu lililonse mu mzinda uliwonse umene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani, ndipo adzaweruza anthuwa mwachilungamo.
You set for yourself judges and authorities within all your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you, for your tribes; and they have judged the people [with] a righteous judgment.
19 Musamakhotetse chiweruzo kapena kukondera. Musamalandire chiphuphu pakuti chiphuphu chimadetsa mʼmaso anthu a nzeru ndi kusintha mawu awo kuti mlandu uyipire osalakwa.
You do not turn aside judgment; you do not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
20 Tsatani chilungamo chokhachokha basi kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kutenga dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani.
Righteousness—you pursue righteousness, so that you live and have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.
21 Musazike mtengo wina uliwonse wa mafano a Asera pambali pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu,
You do not plant an Asherah of any trees for yourself near the altar of your God YHWH, which you make for yourself,
22 ndipo musayimike mwala wachipembedzo pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amadana nazo zimenezi.
and you do not raise up any standing image for yourself which your God YHWH is hating.”
