And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Uza gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, ‘Khalani oyera mtima chifukwa Ine, Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndine Woyera.
Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, You shall be holy: for 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.
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: and if any remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the 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 abominable; 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.
Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
9 “‘Pamene mukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu musakolole mpaka mʼmphepete mwa munda, ndipo musatole khunkha lake.
