Deuteronomo 6
1 Awa ndi malamulo, malangizo ndi ziphunzitso zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu anandilamula kuti ndikuphunzitseni kuti mukawatsatire mʼdziko limene mukuwolokera Yorodani kuti mukalitenge,
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;
2 kuti inuyo, ana anu, ndi zidzukulu zanu mʼtsogolomo mudzaope Yehova Mulungu wanu moyo wanu wonse posunga malangizo ndi malamulo ake onse amene ndinakupatsani inu kuti musangalale ndi moyo wautali.
that you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3 Mvera Israeli ndipo usamalitse kuchita malamulowa kuti zinthu zikuyendere bwino mʼdziko ndi kuti muchuluke kwambiri mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu anakulonjezerani.
Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Tamvani inu Aisraeli, Yehova Mulungu wathu, Yehova ndi mmodzi.
Hear, Israel: The LORD is our God. The LORD is one.
5 Uzikonda Yehova Mulungu wako ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi moyo wako wonse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse.
You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Malamulo amene ndakupatsani lero ayenera kukhala mu mtima mwanu.
These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;
7 Muziwaphunzitsa mwachangu kwa ana anu. Muzikamba za malamulowa pamene muli mʼnyumba zanu, pamene mukuyenda mʼnjira, pamene mukugona ndi pamene mukudzuka.
and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 Muwamange ngati zizindikiro pa manja anu ndi kuwamangirira pa zipumi zanu.
You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
9 Muwalembe pa mphuthu za nyumba zanu ndi pa zipata zanu.
You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.
10 Pamene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulowetsani ndi kukupatsani dziko limene analumbirira makolo anu Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo, dziko lokhala ndi mizinda ikuluikulu imene inu simunamange,
It shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,
11 nyumba zodzaza ndi zinthu za mitundu yonse zimene inu simunayikemo, zitsime zimene inu simunakumbe, minda ya mpesa ndi mitengo ya olivi zimene inuyo simunadzale, tsono mukadya ndi kukhuta,
and houses full of all good things which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;
12 samalani kuti mungayiwale Yehova amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto, kukuchotsani mu ukapolo.
then beware lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Muziopa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kumutumikira Iye yekha, ndipo muzilumbira pa dzina lake.
You shall fear the LORD your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
14 Musamatsatire milungu ina, milungu ya anthu ena okuzungulirani,
You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you,
15 pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ali pakati panu, ndi Mulungu wansanje ndipo adzakukwiyirani kwambiri ndi kukuwonongani, kukufafanizani mʼdziko.
for the LORD your God amongst you is a jealous God, lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 Musamuyese Yehova Mulungu wanu monga munachitira ku Masa.
You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17 Onetsetsani kuti mukusunga malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wanu, malangizo ake ndi zikhazikitso zake zimene anakulamulirani.
You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18 Chitani zoyenera ndi zabwino pamaso pa Yehova, kuti zikuyendereni bwino ndi kuti mukhoza kukalowa ndi kulanda dziko labwinolo limene Yehova analonjeza molumbira kwa makolo anu,
You shall do that which is right and good in the LORD’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers,
19 kupirikitsiratu adani anu onse, monga Yehova wanenera.
to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.
20 Mʼtsogolo muno, ana anu akadzakufunsani kuti, “Kodi tanthauzo la ndondomeko, malangizo, zikhazikitso ndi malamulo amene Yehova Mulungu wathu anakulamulani nʼchiyani?”
When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God has commanded you mean?”
21 Inu mudzawawuze kuti, “Ife tinali akapolo a Farao ku Igupto, koma Yehova anatitulutsa ku Igupto ndi dzanja lamphamvu.
then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 Ifeyo tikuona Yehova anatumiza zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa, zazikulu ndi zoopsa, pa Aigupto ndi Farao pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse.
and the LORD showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 Koma anatitulutsa kumeneko ndi kutilowetsa kuno natipatsa dziko limene analonjeza mwa lumbiro kwa makolo athu.
and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
24 Yehova anatilamula kuti tizimvera malamulo onsewa, kuti tizimuopa kuti zinthu zizitiyendera bwino pa moyo wathu monga momwe zilili leromu.
The LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.
25 Ndipo ngati tisamala kumvera malamulo onsewa pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wathu monga momwe anatilamulira ife, chimenecho chidzakhala chilungamo chathu.”
It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.”
