Levitiko 19

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 Eternal 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 my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am the Lord your God.
4 “‘Musatembenukire ku mafano kapena kudzipangira nokha milungu ya zitsulo zosungunula. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.

5 “‘Pamene mukupereka nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, muyipereke mwanjira yoti ilandiridwe.
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.
6 Nsembe izidyedwa tsiku lomwe mwayiperekalo kapena mmawa mwake. Chilichonse chotsala mpaka tsiku lachitatu chiyenera kutenthedwa.
On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
7 Ngati mudya choperekacho tsiku lachitatu, ndiye kuti mwachita chonyansa ndipo chakudyacho sichidzalandiridwa.
And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.
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 whoever eateth it shall bear his iniquity; because he hath 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.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
