Levitiko 23
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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 tell them, ‘The set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set 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.
“‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 “‘Awa ndiwo masiku osankhidwa a zikondwerero za Yehova, masiku woyera a misonkhano amene muti mudzalengeze pa nthawi yake:
“‘These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.
5 Chikondwerero cha Paska chiziyamba madzulo a tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, 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.
On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7 Pa tsiku loyamba muzichita msonkhano wopatulika. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse.
In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular 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.’”
But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.’”
9 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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 tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits 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.
He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 Pa tsiku limene muweyula mtolowo, muperekenso mwana wankhosa wa mwamuna wa chaka chimodzi, wopanda chilema kuti akhale nsembe yopsereza ya kwa Yehova.
On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt 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.
The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall 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.
You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in 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 from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
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.
The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer 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.
You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, 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.
You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma 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 one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice 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.
The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall 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.
You shall make proclamation on the same day that there shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your 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.’”
“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field. You must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.’”
23 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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.
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 Musagwire ntchito zolemetsa koma mupereke nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.’”
You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”
26 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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.
“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire 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 kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 Munthu aliyense amene sasala zakudya pa tsiku limeneli ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30 Aliyense wogwira ntchito tsiku limeneli ndidzamuwononga pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.
Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.
31 Inu musadzagwire ntchito iliyonse. Limeneli ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse, kulikonse kumene mukakhale.
You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your 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 shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
33 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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.
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to the LORD.
35 Tsiku loyamba ndi la msonkhano wopatulika, musagwire ntchito zolemetsa.
On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular 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.
Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
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 appointed feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own 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 your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your free will offerings, which you give 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.
“‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn 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.
You shall take on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God 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.
You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.
42 Muzikhala mʼmisasa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Onse amene ali mbadwa mʼdziko la Israeli azikhala mʼmisasa
You shall dwell in temporary shelters for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,
43 kuti zidzukulu zanu zidzadziwe kuti ndine amene ndinakhazika Aisraeli mʼmisasa nditawatulutsa ku Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters 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.
So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.
