Levitiko 19
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 “Uza gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, ‘Khalani oyera mtima chifukwa Ine, Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndine Woyera.
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Ye shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 “‘Aliyense mwa inu azilemekeza abambo ake ndi amayi ake. Ndipo muzisunga masabata anga. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and ye shall keep My sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4 “‘Musatembenukire ku mafano kapena kudzipangira nokha milungu ya zitsulo zosungunula. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
Turn ye not unto the idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 “‘Pamene mukupereka nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, muyipereke mwanjira yoti ilandiridwe.
And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.
6 Nsembe izidyedwa tsiku lomwe mwayiperekalo kapena mmawa mwake. Chilichonse chotsala mpaka tsiku lachitatu chiyenera kutenthedwa.
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow; and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 Ngati mudya choperekacho tsiku lachitatu, ndiye kuti mwachita chonyansa ndipo chakudyacho sichidzalandiridwa.
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is a vile thing; it shall not be accepted.
8 Munthu aliyense amene adya chakudyacho adzasenza machimo ake chifukwa wayipitsa chinthu chimene ndi choyera kwa Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.
But every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 “‘Pamene mukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu musakolole mpaka mʼmphepete mwa munda, ndipo musatole khunkha lake.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.
10 Musakolole mphesa zonse mʼmunda wanu wa mpesa kapena kutola mphesa zakugwa mʼmundamo. Zimenezi muzisiyire anthu osauka ndi alendo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako.
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 “‘Musabe. “‘Musamanamizane. “‘Musachitirane zinthu mwachinyengo.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.

And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, so that thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13 “‘Musapsinje mnzanu kapena kumulanda zinthu zake. “‘Musasunge malipiro a munthu wantchito usiku wonse mpaka mmawa.
Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, nor rob him; the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 “‘Musatemberere wosamva kapena kuyikira munthu wosaona chinthu choti apunthwe nacho patsogolo pake, koma muziopa Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15 “‘Musamaweruze mopanda chilungamo. Musachite tsankho pakati pa osauka ndi olemera, koma muweruze mlandu wa mnzanu mwachilungamo.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor favour the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 “‘Musamapite uku ndi uku kunena bodza pakati pa anthu anu. “‘Musachite kanthu kalikonse kamene kangadzetse imfa kwa mnzanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand idly by the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17 “‘Musamude mʼbale wanu mu mtima mwanu. Koma mudzudzuleni mnzanu moona mtima kuti musakhale wolakwa.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him.
18 “‘Musamubwezere mnzanu choyipa kapena kumusungira kanthu kunkhosi, koma konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini. Ine ndine Yehova.
Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
19 “‘Muzisunga malangizo anga. “‘Tsono musamalole kuti ngʼombe zanu zikwerane ndi chiweto cha mtundu wina. “‘Ndiponso musamadzale mbewu za mitundu iwiri mʼmunda umodzi. “‘Musavale chovala chopangidwa ndi nsalu za mitundu iwiri.
Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed; neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
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.
And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, designated for a man, and not at all redeemed, nor was freedom given her; there shall be inquisition; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

And he shall bring his forfeit unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a guilt-offering.
22 ndipo wansembe achite nayo mwambo wopepesera chifukwa cha kupalamula kumene anachita pamaso pa Yehova. Akatero tchimo lake lidzakhululukidwa.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath sinned.
23 “‘Mukadzalowa mʼdzikomo ndi kudzala mtengo wa mtundu uliwonse wa zipatso, zipatso zakezo mudzaziyese ngati zodetsedwa. Ndiye kuti kwa zaka zitatu zidzakhale zoletsedwa kwa inu. Musadzazidye nthawi imeneyi.
And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as forbidden; three years shall it be as forbidden unto you; it shall not be eaten.

And in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto the LORD.

The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, 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.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Choncho muzisunga malangizo ndi malamulo angawa ndi kuwatsatira. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
And ye shall observe all My statutes, and all Mine ordinances, and do them: I am the LORD.
