Levitiko 12
1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Mkazi akakhala woyembekezera, nabala mwana wa mwamuna, mkaziyo adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri, ngati pa masiku ake akusamba.
Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.
3 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu, mwanayo achite mdulidwe.
And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision.
4 Mkaziyo adikire masiku ena 33 kuti ayeretsedwe ku matenda ake. Asakhudze kanthu kalikonse koyera kapena kulowa mʼmalo wopatulika mpaka masiku a kuyeretsedwa kwake atatha.
And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.
5 Ngati abala mwana wamkazi, adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masabata awiri, monga zikhalira pa nthawi yake yosamba. Ndipo mkaziyo adikire masiku ena 66, kuti ayeretsedwe ku matenda akewo.
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days.
6 “‘Masiku ake wodziyeretsa akatha, kaya ndi a mwana wamwamuna kapena a mwana wamkazi, abwere kwa wansembe ndi mwana wankhosa wa chaka chimodzi pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza. Abwerenso ndi chiwunda cha nkhunda kapena njiwa kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo.
And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:
7 Wansembeyo apereke zimenezi pamaso pa Yehova pochita mwambo wopepesera mkaziyo. Ndipo mkaziyo adzakhala woyeretsedwa ku msambo wake. “‘Amenewa ndiwo malamulo a mkazi amene wabala mwana wamwamuna kapena wamkazi.
And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.
8 Ngati mkaziyo sangathe kupeza mwana wankhosa, abwere ndi njiwa ziwiri kapena mawunda ankhunda awiri: imodzi ikhale ya nsembe yopsereza ndipo inayo ikhale ya nsembe yopepesera machimo. Tsono wansembe achite mwambo wopepesera wa mkaziyo ndipo adzayeretsedwa.’”
And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,
