Deuteronomo 5
1 Mose anayitanitsa Aisraeli onse nati: Tamverani inu Aisraeli, malangizo ndi malamulo amene ndikuwuzeni lero. Muwaphunzire ndi kuonetsetsa kuti mukuwatsata.
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 Yehova Mulungu wathu anachita pangano ndi ife ku Horebu.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Yehova sanachite pangano ndi makolo athu koma ndi ife, tonse amene tili moyo lero.
The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 Yehova anayankhula nanu maso ndi maso kuchokera mʼmoto pa phiri paja.
The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
5 (Pa nthawi imeneyo ine ndinayimirira pakati pa Yehova ndi inu kuti ndikuwuzeni mawu a Yehova, chifukwa inu munkachita mantha ndi moto ndipo simunakwere ku phiri). Ndipo Iye anati:
(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 “Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako amene ndinakutulutsa ku Igupto, mʼdziko la ukapolo.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 “Usakhale ndi milungu ina koma Ine ndekha.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
8 “Usadzipangire chofanizira chinthu chilichonse chakumwamba kapena cha pa dziko lapansi kapena cha mʼmadzi a pansi pa dziko.
“You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
9 Usazigwadire kapena kuzipembedza, pakuti Ine Yehova Mulungu wako, ndine Mulungu wansanje, wolanga ana chifukwa cha tchimo la makolo awo mpaka mʼbado wachitatu ndi wachinayi wa iwo amene amadana nane,
You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me
10 koma ndimaonetsa chikondi chosasinthika ku mibado miyandamiyanda ya anthu amene amandikonda ndi kusunga malamulo anga.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 “Usagwiritse ntchito molakwika dzina la Yehova Mulungu wako, pakuti Yehova adzamutenga kukhala wochimwa aliyense amene akugwiritsa ntchito dzina lakelo molakwika.
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 “Uzisunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wako anakulamulira.
“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.
13 Uzigwira ntchito zako zonse masiku asanu ndi limodzi,
You shall labour six days, and do all your work;
14 koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata, tsiku loperekedwa kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Tsiku limeneli musagwire ntchito iliyonse, inuyo kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna kapena mwana wanu wamkazi kapena wantchito wanu wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wanu kapena ngʼombe yanu kapena bulu wanu kapena ziweto zanu kapena mlendo amene akukhala mʼmudzi mwanu, motero ndiye kuti wantchito wanu wamwamuna ndi wantchito wanu wamkazi adzapumula monga inuyo.
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15 Kumbukira kuti unali kapolo ku Igupto ndipo Yehova Mulungu wako anakutulutsa kumeneko ndi dzanja lamphamvu ndi lotambasuka. Choncho Yehova Mulungu wako akukulamula kuti uzisunga tsiku la Sabata.
You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 “Lemekeza abambo ako ndi amayi ako monga Yehova Mulungu wako wakulamulira iwe kuti ukhale ndi moyo wautali ndi kuti zikuyendere bwino mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wako akukupatsa.
“Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
17 “Usaphe.
“You shall not murder.
18 “Usachite chigololo.
“You shall not commit adultery.
19 “Usabe.
“You shall not steal.
20 “Usapereke umboni womunamizira mnzako.
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
21 “Usasirire mkazi wa mnzako. Usasirire nyumba ya mnzako kapena munda wake, wantchito wake wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wake, ngʼombe yake kapena bulu wake, kapena chilichonse cha mnzako.”
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s.”
22 Awa ndi malamulo amene Yehova anayankhula ndi mawu okweza kwa gulu lanu lonse pa phiri paja mʼmoto, mtambo ndi mdima woopsa, sanawonjezerepo kanthu. Ndipo anawalemba pa mapale awiri amiyala ndi kundipatsa.
The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
23 Mutamva mawu kuchokera mu mdimawo, phiri lili moto lawilawi, atsogoleri onse a mafuko anu ndi akuluakulu anu anabwera kwa ine.
When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 Ndipo munati, “Yehova Mulungu wathu wationetsa ulemerero ndi ukulu wake, ndipo tamva mawu ake kuchokera mʼmoto. Lero taona kuti munthu akhoza kukhala ndi moyo ngakhale Mulungu atayankhula naye.
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25 Koma tsopano tife chifukwa chiyani? Moto waukuluwu utinyeketsa, ndipo tifa tikapitirirabe kumva mawu a Yehova Mulungu wathu.
Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
26 Pakuti ndi munthu uti wolengedwa amene anamvapo mawu a Mulungu wamoyo akuyankhula kuchokera mʼmoto, monga tachitiramu, nakhala ndi moyo?
For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Pita pafupi kuti ukamvetsere zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu wathu akunena. Kenaka udzatiwuze chilichonse chimene Yehova Mulungu wathu akunena ndipo tidzamvera ndi kuchita.”
Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
28 Yehova anakumvani pamene munkayankhula kwa ine ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine, “Ndamva zimene anthuwa anena kwa iwe. Chilichonse chimene anena ndi chabwino.
The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
29 Zikanakhala bwino akanakhala ndi mtima wondiopa ndi kusunga malamulo anga nthawi zonse kuti zinthu ziziwayendera bwino, iwowo pamodzi ndi ana awo kwamuyaya.
Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30 “Pita uwawuze kuti abwerere ku matenti awo.
“Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
31 Koma iwe ukhale kuno ndi ine kuti ndikupatse malamulo, malangizo ndi ziphunzitso zimene azitsatira mʼdziko limene ndiwapatse kuti alitenge.”
But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
32 Choncho samalirani kuchita zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulamulirani inu, musapatukire kudzanja lamanja kapena lamanzere.
You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.
33 Muyende mʼnjira yonse imene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakulamulirani kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kupambana, ndi kuti masiku anu achuluke mʼdziko limene mudzatengelo.
You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
