< Ezekieli 45 >
1 “‘Mukamadzagawa dziko kuti fuko lililonse lilandire cholowa chake, mudzapatuleko chigawo chimodzi kuti chikhale cha Yehova. Mulitali mwake mudzakhale makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita khumi. Malo onsewo adzakhale opatulika.
“‘Lapho usaba ilizwe njengelifa kuzamela wethule kuThixo ingxenye yelizwe njengesifunda esingcwele, izingalo eziyinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubude lengalo eziyinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili ububanzi; umango wonke uzakuba ngcwele.
2 Mʼkati mwa chigawo chimenechi, malo a mamita 250 mbali iliyonse adzakhala malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu. Pozungulira pake ponse padzakhala malo a mamita 25.
Kulokhu indawo ezingalo ezingamakhulu amahlanu ubude lobubanzi izakuba ngeyendlu engcwele; kulezingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu eziyizingelezileyo yelizwe elingelalutho.
3 Mʼchigawo chopatulikacho muyeze malo a makilomita 12 ndi theka mulitali mwake, makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Pamenepo padzakhala malo opatulika kwambiri.
Esifundeni esingcwele linganisa ingxenye ezingalo eziyinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubude lengalo eziyinkulungwane ezilitshumi ububanzi. Phakathi kwayo kuzakuba lendlu engcwele, iNdawo eNgcwele kakhulu.
4 Malo opatulika amenewa adzakhalanso a ansembe amene amatumikira ku malo opatulika, amene amayandikira Yehova kuti amutumikire. Pamenepo padzakhala malo omangapo nyumba zawo ndi malo omangapo Nyumba ya Mulungu.
Izakuba yingxenye engcwele yelizwe ingeyabaphristi, abakhonzayo endlini engcwele njalo abasondela eduze ukuba bakhonze phambi kukaThixo. Izakuba yindawo yezindlu zabo kanye lendawo engcwele yendlu engcwele.
5 Alevi otumikira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu adzakhala ndi malo a makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mulitali mwake ndi makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Kumeneko ndiko kudzakhale midzi yawo.
Umango ozingalo eziyinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubude lengalo eziyinkulungwane ezilitshumi ububanzi izakuba ngeyabaLevi, abakhonza ethempelini, njengesabelo sabo samadolobho okuhlala kuwo.
6 “‘Moyandikana ndi malo opatulika, padzakhale malo a makilomita awiri ndi theka mulifupi mwake ndi makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mulitali mwake; kuti akhale malo a mzinda. Malo amenewa adzakhala a Aisraeli onse.
Kumele unike idolobho njengelifa lalo umango ozingalo eziyinkulungwane ezinhlanu ububanzi lengalo eziyinkulungwane ezinhlanu ubude, obambane lengxenye engcwele; uzakuba ngowayo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli.
7 “‘Mfumu idzakhale ndi malo okhudzana ndi chigawo cha malo opatulika ndi cha mzinda. Malowo ayandikane ndi zigawozo chakummawa ndi chakumadzulo. Malowo atalike ngati chigawo chimodzi cha fuko la Israeli kuyambira ku malire akummawa mpaka ku malire akumadzulo.
Inkosana izathatha ilizwe eliphetha eceleni ngalinye lendawo eyisifunda esingcwele lelifa ledolobho. Lizaqhela lisiya entshonalanga lisuka eceleni langentshonalanga njalo liye empumalanga lisuka eceleni langasempumalanga, lilandele ubude kusukela emngceleni wentshonalanga kusiya kowempumalanga osekelane lowesabelo sabantu.
8 Malowa adzakhala chigawo cha mfumu mu Israeli. Choncho mafumu anga sadzazunzanso anthu anga, koma adzidzalola Aisraeli kuti akhale ndi zigawo zawozawo.
Ilizwe leli lizakuba yisabelo sayo ko-Israyeli. Njalo inkosana yami kayisayikuncindezela abantu bami kodwa izavumela indlu ka-Israyeli ukuba bathathe ilizwe mayelana lezizwana zabo.
9 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Tsono pakwana, inu akalonga a Israeli. Lekani nkhanza zanu ndi kupondereza anthu anga. Muzitsata chilungamo ndi kuchita zokomera anthu. Musapirikitse anthu anga mʼdzikomo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Eselikwenzile kwanele, lina makhosana ako-Israyeli! Yekelani udlakela lwenu lokuncindezela lenze okufaneleyo lokulungileyo. Khawulani ukuxotsha abantu bami ezindaweni zabo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
10 Miyeso yanu yoyezera zinthu monga efa ndi bati zizikhala zokhulupirika.
Kumele lisebenzise izikali eziqotho, ihefa eliqotho kanye lebhathi eliqotho.
11 Efa ndi bati ikhale miyeso yolingana kukula kwake. Muyeso wa homeri ukhale wokwanira mabati khumi, ukhalenso wokwanira maefa khumi. Ndiye kuti kukula kwa miyeso iwiriyo kuzidzatsata kukula kwa homeriyo.
Ihefa lebhathi kumele kulingane, ibhathi lilengxenye yetshumi yehomeri njalo lehefa ingxenye yehomeri; ihomeri lizakuba yisilinganiso esamukelekayo kukho kokubili.
12 Muyeso wa sekeli ukhale wokwanira magera makumi awiri. Muyeso wa mina ukhale wolemera masekeli 60.
Ishekeli lizakuba ngamagera angamatshumi amabili. Amashekeli angamatshumi amabili, lamashekeli angamatshumi amabili lanhlanu kanye lamashekeli alitshumi lanhlanu kuba limina elilodwa.
13 “‘Zopereka zomwe mudzidzapereka ndi izi: chimodzi mwa zigawo 60 za tirigu, barelenso chimodzimodzi ndiponso gawo limodzi la magawo asanu ndi limodzi la efa, kulitapa pa barele wa homeri.
Lesi yisipho esiqakathekileyo okumele usinikele: Ingxenye yesithupha yehefa kuhomeri ngalinye lamabele lengxenye yesithupha yehefa kuhomeri ngalinye lebhali.
14 Gawo loyenera la mafuta, loyezedwa ndi bati, ndiponso chigawo mwa zigawo 100 za mafuta. Miyeso yake ili motere: mabati khumi afanana ndi homeri imodzi kapena kori imodzi.
Ingxenye emisiweyo yamafutha, elinganiswa ngebhathi, iyingxenye yetshumi yebhathi kukhori ngalinye (elingamabhathi alitshumi loba ihomeri elilodwa, ngoba amabhathi alitshumi alingana lehomeri.)
15 Muperekenso nkhosa imodzi pa gulu lankhosa 200 za pa msipu wabwino wa mu Israeli. Izi zidzagwiritsidwa ntchito monga nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zachiyanjano ndi nsembe zopepesera milandu ya anthu. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
Njalo imvu eyodwa kumele ithathwe emhlambini ngamunye wezingamakhulu amabili emadlelweni ako-Israyeli alamanzi amanengi. Lezi zizasetshenziswa eminikelweni yamabele, eminikelweni yokutshiswa kanye laseminikelweni yobuzalwane ukwenzela abantu inhlawulelo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
16 Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo azidzapereka zimenezi kwa mfumu ya Israeli.
Bonke abantu belizwe bazahlanganyela kulesisipho esiqakathekileyo ukuba sisetshenziswe yinkosana yako-Israyeli.
17 Udzakhala udindo wa mfumu kupereka zofunikira ku nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya, ndi nsembe za zakumwa pa nthawi ya zikondwerero, chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano ndi cha masabata, nthawi yonse ya zikondwerero zoyikika za Aisraeli. Mfumuyo idzapereka nsembe zopepesera machimo, nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zachiyanjano kuti zikhale nsembe zopepesera machimo a Aisraeli.
Kuzakuba ngumsebenzi wenkosana ukunika iminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yamabele kanye leminikelo yokunathwayo emikhosini, ekuThwaseni kweziNyanga langamaSabatha, kuyo yonke imikhosi yako-Israyeli. Izanikela iminikelo yesono, iminikelo yamabele leminikelo yobuzalwane ukwenzela indlu ka-Israyeli inhlawulelo.
18 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba muzitenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna wopanda chilema ndi kuchita mwambo woyeretsa malo opatulika.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngenyanga yakuqala ngosuku lwakuqala kumele uthathe inkunzi eliguqa engelasici uhlambulule indlu engcwele.
19 Wansembe atengeko magazi a nsembe yopepesera machimoyo ndipo awapake pa mphuthu za Nyumba ya Mulungu, pa ngodya zinayi za pamwamba pa guwa lansembe ndi pa mphuthu za pa chipata cha bwalo la mʼkati.
Umphristi kumele athathe elinye legazi lomnikelo wesono alifake emigubazini yethempeli, ezingosini ezine zelitshe langaphezulu le-alithari lasezinsikeni zesango leguma langaphakathi.
20 Muzichita chimodzimodzi pa tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi, kuchitira aliyense amene wachimwa mosafuna kapena mosadziwa. Motero Nyumba ya Mulungu idzakhala yoyera.
Kuzamele wenze khonokho ngosuku lwesikhombisa lwenyanga ukwenzela loba ngubani owenza isono kungasikho ngabomu loba ngenxa yokungazi; ngokunjalo uzakwenzela ithempeli inhlawulelo.
21 “‘Pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba muzichita chikondwerero cha Paska, chikondwerero chake cha masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pa masiku amenewo muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti.
Ngenyanga yakuqala ngosuku lwetshumi lane kumele kube lomkhosi wePhasika, umkhosi ozathatha insuku eziyisikhombisa, ngalesosikhathi kumele udle isinkwa esingelamvubelo.
22 Pa tsiku loyamba la chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke nsembe ya ngʼombe yayimuna monga nsembe yopepesera machimo ake ndi machimo a anthu onse a mʼdziko.
Ngalolosuku inkosana izanikela inkunzi njengomnikelo wesono izinikelela yona ngokwayo kanye labantu bonke belizwe.
23 Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri a chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke kwa Yehova nsembe zopsereza izi: ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, zonsezi zopanda chilema. Pa masikuwa mfumu iziperekanso mbuzi imodzi yayimuna ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo.
Nsuku zonke phakathi kwensuku eziyisikhombisa zomkhosi kumele inikele inkunzi eziyisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa ezingelasici njengomnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo, lempongo yomnikelo wesono.
24 Pamodzi ndi ngʼombe iliyonse yayimuna ndi nkhosa iliyonse yayimuna, mfumu ipereke chopereka cha chakudya chokwanira efa imodzi ndiponso mafuta okwanira hini imodzi pa efa iliyonse.
Kuzamela inikele njengomnikelo wamabele ihefa elilodwa lenkunzi ngayinye lehefa elilodwa lenqama ngayinye ndawonye lehini lamafutha elilodwa kuhefa ngalinye.
25 “‘Pa nthawi ya chikondwerero cha masiku asanu ndi awiri, chimene chimayamba pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, mfumuyo iziperekanso nsembe za mtundu womwewo: nsembe zopepesera machimo, nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya ndi za mafuta.’”
Phakathi kwensuku eziyisikhombisa zomkhosi oqalisa ngenyanga yesikhombisa ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu, kumele inikele okufanayo okomnikelo wesono, umnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo wamabele kanye lamafutha.’”
