Deuteronomo 30

1 Madalitso ndi matemberero awa onse amene ndawayika pamaso panu akadzafika pa inu, inu nʼkukumbukira kulikonse kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakubalalitsirani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu,

“Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you,

2 ndipo inu pamodzi ndi ana anu nʼkudzatembenukira kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kumumvera ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse molingana ndi chilichonse chimene ndakulamulani lero lino,

and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

3 pamenepo Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakukhalitsani monga kale ndi kukuchitirani chifundo, ndipo adzakusonkhanitsani kukuchotsani ku mitundu ina ya anthu kumene anakubalalitsirani.

then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.

4 Ngakhale atakupirikitsirani ku malekezero a dziko lapansi, adzakusonkhanitsani kuchokera kumeneko ndi kukubweretsaninso.

Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.

5 Adzakubweretsani ku dziko limene linali la makolo anu, ndipo lidzakhala lanu. Iye adzakulemeretsani ndi kukuchulukitsani kupambana makolo anu.

And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were.

6 Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasintha mitima yanu pamodzi ndi mitima ya zidzukulu zanu, kotero kuti mudzamukonda ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse, ndipo mudzakhala ndi moyo.

The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.

7 Yehova Mulungu wanu adzayika matemberero awa onse pa adani anu amene amadana nanu ndi kukuzunzani.

And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.

8 Inu mudzamveranso Yehova ndi kutsatira malamulo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino.

But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.

9 Pamenepo Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakulemeretsani pa zochita zanu zonse ndipo adzakupatsani ana ambiri, zoweta zambiri, ndiponso mudzakhala ndi zokolola zambiri za mʼdziko lanu. Yehova adzakondwera nanunso ndi kukulemeretsani monga momwe anakondwera ndi makolo anu,

And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:

10 ngati mudzamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kusunga malamulo ake ndi mawu ake amene alembedwa Mʼbuku ili la Malamulo ndi kutembenukira kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.

but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 Tsopano zimene ndikukulamulirani leroli sizovuta kapena zapatali.

This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.

12 Sizili kumwamba, kuti muzichita kufunsa kuti, “Kodi ndani amene akwere kumwamba kuti akazitenge ndi kudzatilalikira kuti timvere?”

Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’

13 Komanso sizili pa tsidya la nyanja, kuti muzichita kufunsa kuti, “Kodi ndani amene adzawoloke nyanja kuti akatenge ndi kudzatilalikira kuti timvere?”

Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’

14 Ayi, mawu ali pafupi ndi inu; ali mʼkamwa mwanu ndi mu mtima mwanu kuti muwamvere.

Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

15 Taonani, lero ine ndayika pamaso panu moyo ndi zokoma, imfa ndi chiwonongeko.

Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,

16 Pakuti lero ndikukulamulani kuti mukonde Yehova Mulungu wanu, kuti muyende mʼnjira zake, ndi kusunga malamulo ake, malangizo ake. Mukatero mudzakhala ndi moyo ndi kuchulukana, ndipo Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani mʼdziko limene mukulowa kukakhalamo.

so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

17 Koma ngati mtima wanu udzatembenuka, inu nʼkukhala osandimvera, ndipo ngati mudzatengeka ndi kupita kukagwadira milungu ina ndi kuyipembedza,

But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,

18 lero ndikulengeza kwa inu kuti mudzawonongeka ndithu. Simudzakhala nthawi yayitali mʼdziko limene mukulowamo pamene mukuwoloka Yorodani kuti mulitenge.

then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.

19 Lero kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zikhale mboni zodzakutsutsani pakuti ndayika pamaso panu moyo ndi imfa, madalitso ndi matemberero. Tsopano sankhani moyo kuti inu ndi ana anu mukhale ndi moyo.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,

20 Ndi kuti mukonde Yehova Mulungu wanu, kumvera mawu ake, ndi kukhulupirika kwa Iye. Pakuti Yehova ndiye moyo wanu, ndipo mudzakhala zaka zambiri mʼdziko limene analumbira kulipereka kwa makolo anu, Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo.

and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
