Levitiko 23
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Awa ndi masiku anga osankhika a chikondwerero, masiku osankhika olemekeza Yehova amene uyenera kulengeza kuti akhale masiku opatulika a misonkhano.
Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.
3 “‘Pa masiku asanu ndi limodzi muzigwira ntchito, koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata lopuma, tsiku la msonkhano wopatulika. Kulikonse kumene inu mukukhala musamagwire ntchito iliyonse tsiku limeneli popeza ndi tsiku la Sabata la Yehova.
On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.
4 “‘Awa ndiwo masiku osankhidwa a zikondwerero za Yehova, masiku woyera a misonkhano amene muti mudzalengeze pa nthawi yake:
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.
5 Chikondwerero cha Paska chiziyamba madzulo a tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;
6 Tsiku la 15 la mwezi womwewo ndi tsiku lolemekeza Yehova ndipo muziyamba Chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti. Muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.
7 Pa tsiku loyamba muzichita msonkhano wopatulika. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse.
On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.
8 Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzipereka nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova. Ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muzikhala ndi msonkhano wopatulika ndipo musamagwire ntchito yolemetsa.’”
And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.
9 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
10 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Mukakalowa mʼdziko limene ndikukupatsanilo ndi kukolola za mʼminda mwanu, mudzabwere kwa wansembe ndi mtolo wa tirigu woyambirira kucha wa mʼminda mwanu.
Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;
11 Wansembeyo auweyule mtolowo pamaso pa Yehova kotero mtolowo udzalandiridwa mʼmalo mwanu. Wansembe auweyule tsiku lotsatana ndi la Sabata.
And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.
12 Pa tsiku limene muweyula mtolowo, muperekenso mwana wankhosa wa mwamuna wa chaka chimodzi, wopanda chilema kuti akhale nsembe yopsereza ya kwa Yehova.
And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.
13 Chopereka chachakudya chake chikhale cha makilogalamu awiri a ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta kuti chikhale nsembe yopsereza yopereka kwa Yehova, ya fungo lokoma. Ndipo chopereka cha chakumwa chake chikhale vinyo wa malita anayi ndi theka.
And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Musadye buledi aliyense kapena tirigu wokazinga, kapena wamuwisi mpaka tsiku limene mwabwera ndi chopereka ichi kwa Mulungu wanu. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
15 “‘Kuyambira tsiku lotsatana ndi la Sabata lija, tsiku limene munabwera ndi mtolo wa nsembe yoweyula, muziwerenga masabata asanu ndi awiri athunthu.
And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;
16 Ndiye kuti muwerenge masiku makumi asanu kuchokera pa tsiku lotsatana ndi Sabata la chisanu ndi chiwiri, ndipo kenaka mupereke nsembe ya tirigu watsopano kwa Yehova.
Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.
17 Kuchokera kulikonse kumene mukukhala, mubwere pamaso pa Yehova ndi buledi muwiri wa ufa wosalala wa makilogalamu awiri, ophikidwa ndi yisiti kuti akhale nsembe yoweyula ya zakudya zoyamba kucha.
Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.
18 Pamodzi ndi bulediyu muperekenso ana ankhosa aamuna asanu ndi awiri, aliyense akhale wa chaka chimodzi ndi wopanda chilema. Pakhalenso ngʼombe yayingʼono yayimuna ndi nkhosa zazimuna ziwiri. Zimenezi zidzakhala nsembe zopsereza zopereka kwa Yehova pamodzi ndi nsembe za zakudya ndi nsembe za zakumwa. Zonsezi zikhale nsembe zopsereza za fungo lokomera Yehova.
And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord.
19 Kenaka mupereke mbuzi imodzi yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndiponso ana ankhosa awiri, aliyense wa chaka chimodzi kuti akhale nsembe yachiyanjano.
And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.
20 Wansembe aweyule ana ankhosa awiriwo pamaso pa Yehova monga nsembe yoweyula, pamodzi ndi buledi wa tirigu woyambirira kucha. Zimenezi ndi zopereka zopatulika za Yehova zopatsidwa kwa ansembe.
And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.
21 Pa tsiku lomwelo mulengeze za msonkhano wopatulika ndipo musagwire ntchito zolemetsa. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
22 “‘Pamene mukukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu, musakolole munda wanu mpaka mʼmalire mwenimweni, ndipo musatole khunkha lake. Zimenezo musiyire anthu osauka ndi alendo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.
23 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 “Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, likhale tsiku lopumula, la msonkhano wopatulika, mulilengeze poyimba lipenga.
Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.
25 Musagwire ntchito zolemetsa koma mupereke nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.’”
Do no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
26 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
27 “Tsiku lakhumi la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi tsiku lochita Mwambo Wopepesera Machimo. Muzichita msonkhano wopatulika. Muzidzichepetsa pamaso pa Yehova ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova.
The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
28 Tsiku limeneli musamagwire ntchito chifukwa ndi tsiku la Mwambo Wopepesera Machimo, kupepesera machimo anu pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.
29 Munthu aliyense amene sasala zakudya pa tsiku limeneli ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.
30 Aliyense wogwira ntchito tsiku limeneli ndidzamuwononga pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.
31 Inu musadzagwire ntchito iliyonse. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.
32 Limeneli kwa inu ndi tsiku la Sabata lopumula, ndipo muyenera kusala zakudya. Kuyambira madzulo a tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi la mwezi mpaka madzulo ena otsatirawo muzisunga tsikulo ngati Sabata lanu.”
Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.
33 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
34 “Uwawuze Aisraeli kuti pa masiku asanu ndi awiri kuyambira pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri pazikhala Chikondwerero cha Misasa cholemekeza Yehova.
Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.
35 Tsiku loyamba ndi la msonkhano wopatulika, musagwire ntchito zolemetsa.
On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.
36 Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzipereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova. Ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu muzikhala ndi msonkhano wopatulika ndipo muzipereka nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova. Kumeneku ndi kutsekera kwa msonkhano waukulu. Musagwire ntchito zolemetsa.
Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.
37 (“‘Amenewa ndi masiku osankhika a chikondwerero cha Yehova, amene muziwalengeza kuti ndi nthawi ya msonkhano wopatulika. Masiku amenewa muzipereka nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zanyama ndi zopereka zachakumwa za tsiku ndi tsiku.
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;
38 Zopereka zimenezi ndi zowonjezera pa zopereka za Yehova za pa Sabata, zopereka zanu zolumbira ndiponso mphatso zanu zaufulu zopereka kwa Yehova.)
In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.
39 “‘Choncho kuyambira pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, mutakolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu, muchite chikondwerero cha Yehova kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Tsiku loyamba ndi tsiku lopumula, ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu ndi lopumulanso.
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.
40 Pa tsiku loyamba muzitenga zipatso zabwino kwambiri zothyola mʼmitengo, nthambi za kanjedza, nthambi zazikulu za mitengo ya masamba ambiri, ndi za misondozi yakumtsinje, ndipo muzikondwera pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.
41 Chaka chilichonse muzichita chikondwerero cha Yehova kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse. Muzichita chikondwerero chimenechi mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri.
And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.
42 Muzikhala mʼmisasa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Onse amene ali mbadwa mʼdziko la Israeli azikhala mʼmisasa
For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:
43 kuti zidzukulu zanu zidzadziwe kuti ndine amene ndinakhazika Aisraeli mʼmisasa nditawatulutsa ku Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 Choncho Mose analengeza kwa Aisraeli masiku osankhika a zikondwerero za Yehova.
And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.
