Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.

5 “‘Pamene mukupereka nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, muyipereke mwanjira yoti ilandiridwe.

6 Nsembe izidyedwa tsiku lomwe mwayiperekalo kapena mmawa mwake. Chilichonse chotsala mpaka tsiku lachitatu chiyenera kutenthedwa.
You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day: and whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.
7 Ngati mudya choperekacho tsiku lachitatu, ndiye kuti mwachita chonyansa ndipo chakudyacho sichidzalandiridwa.
If after two days ally man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:
8 Munthu aliyense amene adya chakudyacho adzasenza machimo ake chifukwa wayipitsa chinthu chimene ndi choyera kwa Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.
And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall perish from among his people.
9 “‘Pamene mukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu musakolole mpaka mʼmphepete mwa munda, ndipo musatole khunkha lake.
When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.
10 Musakolole mphesa zonse mʼmunda wanu wa mpesa kapena kutola mphesa zakugwa mʼmundamo. Zimenezi muzisiyire anthu osauka ndi alendo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako.
Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard, but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.

Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.
20 “‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi kapolo wamkazi amene wafunsidwa mbeta ndi munthu wina, koma sanawomboledwe kapenanso kulandira ufulu wake, alangidwe. Koma onsewa asaphedwe, chifukwa mkaziyo anali asanalandire ufulu wake.
If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman.
21 Koma mwamunayo abwere ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula kwa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Nsembe yake ikhale nkhosa yayimuna
And for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
22 ndipo wansembe achite nayo mwambo wopepesera chifukwa cha kupalamula kumene anachita pamaso pa Yehova. Akatero tchimo lake lidzakhululukidwa.

When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them: the fruit that comes forth shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat of them.
24 Chaka chachinayi, zipatso zake zonse zidzakhala zopatulika, ndipo zidzakhala chopereka cha matamando kwa Yehova.
But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to the praise of the Lord.
25 Koma chaka chachisanu, mudzatha kudya zipatso zake kuti mitengoyo idzakubalireni zochuluka. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God.

If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid him:
34 Mlendo amene akhala nanu akhale ngati mmodzi mwa mbadwa zanu. Mumukonde monga momwe mumadzikondera inu nomwe. Paja inu munali alendo mʼdziko la Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
But let him be among you as one of the same country: and you shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
35 “‘Musamachite za chinyengo poweruza mlandu, kapena poyeza utali, kulemera ngakhalenso kuchuluka kwa zinthu.
Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.
36 Miyeso ya sikelo, miyeso yoyezera kulemera kwa zinthu, miyeso yotchedwa efa ndi miyeso yotchedwa hini zikhale zolungama. Ine ndine Yehova, Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani ku dziko la Igupto.
Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Choncho muzisunga malangizo ndi malamulo angawa ndi kuwatsatira. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and do them. I am the Lord.
