Deuteronomo 25
1 Anthu akasemphana mawu, ayenera kupita ku bwalo la milandu ndipo woweruza adzaweruza mlanduwo. Adzamasula wosalakwa nalanga wolakwa.
If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
2 Munthu akapezeka wolakwa ayenera kukwapulidwa, woweruza amugoneke pansi wolakwayo ndipo akwapulidwe pamaso pake zikoti zochuluka molingana ndi mlandu wake,
and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.
3 koma asamukwapule zikoti zopitirira makumi anayi. Akakwapulidwa kupitirira apo ndiye kuti mʼbale wanuyo anyozeka pamaso panu.
He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.
4 Musamange ngʼombe pakamwa pamene ikupuntha tirigu.
You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Ngati abale akukhala pamodzi ndipo wina mwa iwo akamwalira wosasiya mwana wamwamuna, mkazi wamasiyeyo asakakwatiwe ndi mlendo. Mʼbale wake wa mwamuna wakeyo amukwatire kukwaniritsa chimene akuyenera kuchita kwa mlamu wakeyo.
If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 Mwana wamwamuna woyamba amene mayiyo angabereke ayenera kutenga dzina la mwamuna wake womwalirayo kuti dzina lake lisafafanizike mu Israeli.
It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
7 Komabe, ngati munthu sakufuna kukwatira mkazi wa mʼbale wakeyo, mkaziyo ayenera kupita kwa akuluakulu ku chipata cha mzinda ndi kukanena kuti, “Mʼbale wake wa mwamuna wanga akukana kupitiriza dzina la mʼbale wake mu Israeli. Iye akukana kulowa chokolo.”
If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."
8 Pamenepo akuluakulu a mu mzinda wawowo adzamuyitanitsa nakamba naye. Ngati alimbikirabe kunena kuti, “Ine sindikufuna kumukwatira mkaziyu,”
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";
9 mkazi wamasiye wa mʼbale wakeyo adzapita kwa iye pamaso pa akuluakuluwo namuvula nsapato imodzi, adzamulavulire kumaso nʼkunena kuti, “Izi ndi zimene amachitira munthu amene safuna kupitiriza mbiri ya banja la mʼbale wake.”
then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."
10 Mbiri ya banja la munthu ameneyo idzadziwika mu Israeli kuti ndi Banja la Wovulidwa nsapato.
His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.
11 Ngati anthu awiri akuchita ndewu ndipo mkazi wa mmodzi wa iwo abwera kudzaleretsa mwamuna wake kwa mnzakeyo natambasula dzanja lake kugwira ku maliseche kwa winayo,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;
12 muyenera kumudula dzanja, osamumvera chisoni.
then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
13 Musamakhale ndi miyeso iwiri yosiyana mʼthumba mwanu, wolemera ndi wopepuka.
You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
14 Musamakhale ndi milingo iwiri yosiyana mʼnyumba mwanu, waukulu ndi waungʼono.
You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15 Muyenera kukhala ndi miyeso ndi milingo yoyenera ndi yosanyenga kuti mukhalitse mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani.
You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
16 Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amanyansidwa ndi aliyense wochita za chinyengo zoterezi.
For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
17 Kumbukirani zimene Aamaleki anakuchitirani pamene munali pa ulendo wochokera ku Igupto.
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;
18 Pamene munali otopa ndi ofowoka, iwo anakumana nanu pa ulendo wanu ndi kukantha onse otsalira mʼmbuyo ndipo iwo sanaope Mulungu.
how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
19 Pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu akupumulitsani kwa adani onse okuzungulirani mʼdziko limene akupatsani inu ngati cholowa chanu, mudzawafafanize Aamaleki, asadzawakumbukirenso pa dziko lapansi. Musadzayiwale chimenechi!
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
