Levitiko 17

1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake, pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse kuti, ‘Chimene Yehova walamula ndi ichi:

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,

3 Mwisraeli aliyense amene apha ngʼombe, mwana wankhosa kapena mbuzi mu msasa kapena kunja kwa msasa,

Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or a sheep, or a goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

4 mʼmalo mobwera nayo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuyipereka kuti ikhale nsembe ya Yehova, ameneyo wapalamula mlandu wa magazi, wakhetsa magazi ndipo ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake.

And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it as an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord: as blood-guiltiness shall it be imputed unto that man, blood hath he shed; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

5 Izi zili choncho kuti Aisraeli azibwera ndi nyama zawo za nsembe zimene akanaphera ku malo kwina kulikonse. Aisraeli azibwera nazo nyamazo kwa Yehova, kwa wansembe wokhala pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano ndipo aziphere pomwepo kuti zikhale nsembe za chiyanjano.

In order that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they slay in the open field, and bring them unto the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and slay them as sacrifices of peace-offerings unto the Lord.

6 Wansembe awaze magazi ake pa guwa la Yehova limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano ndipo atenthe mafuta ake kuti atulutse fungo lokomera Yehova.

And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and he shall burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the Lord.

7 Motero asadzapherenso nsembe fano la mbuzi limene amachita nalo zadama. Limeneli ndi lamulo la muyaya kwa iwo ndi mibado ya mʼtsogolo.’”

So that they shall offer no more their sacrifices unto evil spirits, after which they have gone astray: a statute for ever shall this be unto them throughout their generations.

8 “Uwawuze kuti, ‘Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo amene amakhala pakati pawo akapereka nsembe yopsereza kapena nsembe ina iliyonse

And unto them shalt thou say, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who may sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or a sacrifice,

9 popanda kubwera nayo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano kudzayipereka pamaso pa Yehova, munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.’”

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord: even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

10 “Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo aliyense wokhala pakati panu amene adya magazi, ndidzamufulatira ndipo ndidzamuchotsa pakati pa anthu anzake.

And if there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood: I will set my face against the person that eateth the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.

11 Pakuti moyo wa cholengedwa chilichonse uli mʼmagazi, ndipo ndawupereka kwa inu kuti muzichitira mwambo wopepesera machimo a moyo wanu pa guwa. Pajatu magazi ndiwo amachotsa machimo chifukwa moyo uli mʼmenemo.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have appointed it for you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for the blood it is that maketh an atonement for the soul.

12 Choncho ndikuwawuza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Pasapezeke aliyense wa inu wodya magazi, ngakhale mlendo wokhala pakati panu.’”

Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No one of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that sojourneth among you shall not eat blood.

13 “Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo aliyense wokhala pakati panu amene amasaka ndi kupha nyama zakuthengo kapena mbalame zimene amadya, ataye magazi ake pansi ndi kuwakwirira ndi dothi,

And if there be any man whatsoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who catcheth by hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten: then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it up with dust.

14 chifukwa moyo wa cholengedwa chilichonse uli mʼmagazi ake. Nʼchifukwa chake ndinawawuza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Musamadye magazi a cholengedwa chilichonse, chifukwa moyo wa cholengedwa chilichonse uli mʼmagazi. Aliyense wodya magaziwo ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake.

For the life of all flesh is its blood, on which its life dependeth; therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, The blood of every manner of flesh shall ye not eat; for the life of all flesh is its blood, every one who eateth it shall be cut off.

15 “‘Munthu aliyense, kaya ndi mbadwa kapena mlendo, amene amadya chilichonse chofa chokha, kapena chojiwa ndi zirombo, achape zovala zake ndi kusamba, komabe adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Kenaka adzakhala woyeretsedwa.

And every person that eateth that which hath died of itself, or that which was torn by beasts, be this one born in your own country, or a stranger, shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, when he shall be clean.

16 Koma ngati sachapa zovala zake ndi kusamba, adzasenzabe machimo ake.’”

But if he wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh, then shall he bear his iniquity.
