Levitiko 17
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake, pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse kuti, ‘Chimene Yehova walamula ndi ichi:
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to 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,
Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or 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 an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he hath shed blood; 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.
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them [for] peace-offerings to 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 burn the fat for a sweet savor to the LORD.
7 Motero asadzapherenso nsembe fano la mbuzi limene amachita nalo zadama. Limeneli ndi lamulo la muyaya kwa iwo ndi mibado ya mʼtsogolo.’”
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to idols, with which they have committed idolatry: This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations.
8 “Uwawuze kuti, ‘Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo amene amakhala pakati pawo akapereka nsembe yopsereza kapena nsembe ina iliyonse
And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt-offering or 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 to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to 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 whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and 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 given it to you upon the altar, to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Choncho ndikuwawuza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Pasapezeke aliyense wa inu wodya magazi, ngakhale mlendo wokhala pakati panu.’”
Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you 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 whatever man [there may be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, who hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out its blood, and cover it 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 [it is] the life of all flesh, the blood of it [is] for the life of it; therefore I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] its blood: whoever 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 soul that eateth that which died [of itself], or that which was torn [with beasts], ([whether it is] one of your own country, or a stranger) he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the evening; then shall he be clean.
16 Koma ngati sachapa zovala zake ndi kusamba, adzasenzabe machimo ake.’”
But if he doth not wash [them], nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
