Levitiko 16
1 Atafa ana awiri a Aaroni amene anaphedwa atapita pamaso pa Yehova mosayenera, Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose.
Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.
2 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Uza mchimwene wako Aaroni kuti asamalowe ku Malo Wopatulika, kuseri kwa katani, pamaso pa chivundikiro cha Bokosi la Chipangano nthawi iliyonse imene akufuna kuopa kuti angadzafe, pakuti Ine ndimaoneka mu mtambo umene uli pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha Bokosi la Chipangano.
And the LORD said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to enter freely into the Most Holy Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
3 “Aaroni azilowa Malo Wopatulika Kwambiri motere: azitenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti akhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza.
This is how Aaron is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 Azivala mwinjiro wopatulika wa nsalu yosalala, azivalanso kabudula wa mʼkati wa nsalu yosalala, azimanga lamba wa nsalu yosalala, ndipo avalenso nduwira ya nsalu yosalala kumutu. Zimenezi ndi nsalu zopatulika ndipo atasamba thupi lonse azivala zimenezi.
He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.
5 Kuchokera pa gulu la Aisraeli, Aaroni azitenga mbuzi zazimuna ziwiri kuti zikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza.
And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Aaroni apereke ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo a iye mwini kuti achite mwambo wopepesera machimo ake pamodzi ndi a banja lake.
Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
7 Kenaka atenge mbuzi ziwiri zija ndipo aziyimike pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 Aaroni ndiye achite maere pa mbuzi ziwirizo kuti imodzi ikhale ya Yehova, ndipo inayo ikhale ya Azazele.
After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
9 Aaroni abwere ndi mbuzi imene maere aonetsa kuti ndi ya Yehova, ndipo apereke kuti ikhale nsembe yopereka chifukwa cha tchimo.
he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10 Koma mbuzi imene maere aonetsa kuti ndi yosenza machimo, apereke ya moyo pamaso pa Yehova, kuti achite mwambo wopepesera machimo pa mbuziyo poyitumiza ku chipululu kuti ikhale ya Azazele.
But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 “Aaroni apereke ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ake. Ndiye achite mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake pamodzi ndi banja lake. Pambuyo pake aphe ngʼombe yopepesera machimo ake aja.
When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering.
12 Kenaka iye atenge chofukizira chodzaza ndi makala a moto ochokera pa guwa lansembe pamaso pa Yehova. Atengenso lubani wonunkhira ndi woperapera wokwanira manja awiri, ndipo alowe naye kuseri kwa katani.
Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil.
13 Athire lubani pa moto pamaso pa Yehova kuti utsi wa lubaniyo uphimbe chivundikiro chimene chili pamwamba pa Bokosi la Chipangano, kuti Aaroniyo asafe.
He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of incense will cover the mercy seat above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
14 Ndipo atenge magazi ena a ngʼombeyo, awawaze ndi chala chake pa chivundikiro cha kummawa; kenaka awaze magaziwo ndi chala chake kasanu ndi kawiri patsogolo pa chivundikirocho.
And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the mercy seat; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.
15 “Kenaka Aaroni aphe mbuzi ya nsembe yopepesera machimo a anthu, ndipo magazi ake alowe nawo kuseri kwa katani ndi kuchita chimodzimodzi monga anachitira ndi magazi a ngʼombe aja: Aaroni awaze magaziwo pa chivundikiro chija ndi patsogolo pa chivundikirocho.
Aaron shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
16 Pamenepo ndiye kuti wansembeyo wachita mwambo wopepesera ku Malo Wopatulika chifukwa cha kudetsedwa ndi kuwukira kwa Aisraeli pa machimo ena aliwonse amene achita. Achite chimodzimodzi ndi tenti ya msonkhano imenenso ili yodetsedwa chifukwa cha machimo awo.
So he shall make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Meeting which abides among them, because it is surrounded by their impurities.
17 Mu tenti ya msonkhano musakhale munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe nthawi imene Aaroni akupita kukachita mwambo wopepesera ku Malo Wopatulika mpaka atatulukako. Musakhale munthu mu tenti ya msonkhano mpaka atachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake, banja lake ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli.
No one may be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Israel.
18 “Kenaka, Aaroniyo akatuluka apite ku guwa limene lili pamaso pa Yehova ndi kulichitira mwambo wolipepesera. Atengeko magazi a ngʼombe yayimuna ndiponso magazi a mbuzi ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga zonse za guwa lansembe.
Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.
19 Magazi ena awawaze pa guwalo ndi chala chake kasanu ndi kawiri kuliyeretsa ndi kulipatula kuchotsa zodetsa za Aisraeli.
He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20 “Aaroni akatsiriza mwambo wopepesera Malo Wopatulika, tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa, azibwera ndi mbuzi yamoyo kudzayipereka nsembe.
When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.
21 Aaroni asanjike manja ake pa mutu wa mbuziyo ndipo awulule pa mbuziyo zoyipa zonse ndi zowukira zonse za Aisraeli, kutanthauza machimo awo onse. Machimowo awayike pa mutu wa mbuziyo. Kenaka munthu amene anasankhidwa athamangitsire mbuziyo ku chipululu.
Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.
22 Mbuziyo isenze machimo awo onse ndi kupita nawo kutali ndipo munthuyo aleke mbuziyo kuti ipite ku chipululuko.
The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
23 “Pambuyo pake Aaroni alowe mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi kuvula zovala zosalala zija zimene anavala polowa ku Malo Wopatulika ndi kuzisiya komweko.
Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 Asambe thupi lonse ku Malo Wopatulika ndi kuvala zovala zake za nthawi zonse. Kenaka atuluke ndi kukapereka nsembe yopsereza ya iye mwini, ndiponso nsembe yopsereza yoperekera anthu. Akatero ndiye kuti wachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake ndi a anthu.
He is to bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people.
25 Mafuta a nyama yopepesera machimo awatenthe pa guwa lansembe.
He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 “Tsono munthu amene anaperekeza mbuzi yosenza machimo ija achape zovala zake ndi kusamba. Pambuyo pake alowe ku msasa.
The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.
27 Ngʼombe ndi mbuzi zoperekera nsembe yopepesera machimo zimene magazi ake anabwera nawo kuti achitire mwambo wopepesera Malo Wopatulika, azitulutsire kunja kwa msasa. Koma zikopa zake, nyama yake ndi matumbo ake azitenthe.
The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up.
28 Munthu amene azitenthe achape zovala zake ndi kusamba. Pambuyo pake alowe mu msasa.
The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
29 “Ili likhale lamulo lanu lamuyaya: Mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, pa tsiku la khumi la mwezi, mugonje pamaso pa Yehova. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse, kaya ndinu mbadwa kapena mlendo amene akukhala pakati panu,
This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—
30 chifukwa tsiku limeneli kudzachitika mwambo wopepesera machimo anu, kukuyeretsani kuti mukhale oyeretsedwa ku machimo anu pamaso pa Yehova.
because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31 Limeneli ndi tsiku lanu la Sabata lopumula, ndipo muzigonja pamaso pa Yehova. Limeneli ndi lamulo lanu la muyaya.
It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
32 Wansembe amene wadzozedwa ndi kupatulidwa kuti akhale wansembe kulowa mʼmalo mwa abambo ake ndiye azichita mwambo wopepesera machimo atavala zovala zake zosalala ndi zopatulika.
The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments
33 Adzachite mwambo wopepesera machimo Malo Wopatulika, tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe. Adzachitenso mwambo wopepesera anzake ndi gulu lonse la anthu.
and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.
34 “Ili likhale lamulo lanu lamuyaya. Mwambo wopepesera machimo uzichitika kamodzi pa chaka chifukwa cha machimo a anthu onse.” Ndipo Mose anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira.
This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.
