Levitiko 23
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
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.
Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
4 “‘Awa ndiwo masiku osankhidwa a zikondwerero za Yehova, masiku woyera a misonkhano amene muti mudzalengeze pa nthawi yake:
These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.
5 Chikondwerero cha Paska chiziyamba madzulo a tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba.
The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord:
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 the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
7 Pa tsiku loyamba muzichita msonkhano wopatulika. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse.
The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein:
8 Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzipereka nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova. Ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muzikhala ndi msonkhano wopatulika ndipo musamagwire ntchito yolemetsa.’”
But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.
9 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:
11 Wansembeyo auweyule mtolowo pamaso pa Yehova kotero mtolowo udzalandiridwa mʼmalo mwanu. Wansembe auweyule tsiku lotsatana ndi la Sabata.
Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
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 same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of 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 the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour: libations also 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.
You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.
15 “‘Kuyambira tsiku lotsatana ndi la Sabata lija, tsiku limene munabwera ndi mtolo wa nsembe yoweyula, muziwerenga masabata asanu ndi awiri athunthu.
You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.
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.
Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice 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.
Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of 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 you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour 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.
You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of 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 when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
21 Pa tsiku lomwelo mulengeze za msonkhano wopatulika ndipo musagwire ntchito zolemetsa. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.
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 reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.
23 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
25 Musagwire ntchito zolemetsa koma mupereke nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.’”
You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
26 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement, it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
28 Tsiku limeneli musamagwire ntchito chifukwa ndi tsiku la Mwambo Wopepesera Machimo, kupepesera machimo anu pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
29 Munthu aliyense amene sasala zakudya pa tsiku limeneli ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people:
30 Aliyense wogwira ntchito tsiku limeneli ndidzamuwononga pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
31 Inu musadzagwire ntchito iliyonse. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.
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.”
It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.
33 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord.
35 Tsiku loyamba ndi la msonkhano wopatulika, musagwire ntchito zolemetsa.
The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
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.
The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord: for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein.
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 feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord, holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,
38 Zopereka zimenezi ndi zowonjezera pa zopereka za Yehova za pa Sabata, zopereka zanu zolumbira ndiponso mphatso zanu zaufulu zopereka kwa Yehova.)
Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
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.
So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath, that is a day of rest.
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.
And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
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 you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
42 Muzikhala mʼmisasa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Onse amene ali mbadwa mʼdziko la Israeli azikhala mʼmisasa
And you shall dwell in bowers seven days: every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles:
43 kuti zidzukulu zanu zidzadziwe kuti ndine amene ndinakhazika Aisraeli mʼmisasa nditawatulutsa ku Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought 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 spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.
