Levitiko 26

1 “‘Musadzipangire mafano ndipo musayimike chifanizo chosema kapena mwala woti mudzipembedza. Musayike mwala wosema mʼdziko mwanu kuti muziwugwadira. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.

Ye shall make for you no idols. Neither shall ye rear up for you a graven image, or a pillar. Neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.

2 “‘Muzisunga Masabata anga ndipo muzilemekeza malo anga wopatulika. Ine ndine Yehova.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.

3 “‘Mukamayenda motsata malangizo anga ndi kumvera mosamalitsa malamulo anga,

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them,

4 ndidzakupatsani mvula pa nyengo yake. Nthaka yanu idzabala zokolola zake, ndipo mitengo ya mʼmunda idzabala zipatso zake.

then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Mudzakhala mukupuntha tirigu mpaka nthawi yothyola mphesa, ndipo mudzakhala mukuthyola mphesa mpaka nthawi yodzala. Mudzadya chakudya chanu mpaka kukhuta ndipo mudzakhala mʼdziko lanu mwamtendere.

And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 “‘Ndidzabweretsa mtendere mʼdziko lanu, ndipo muzidzagona popanda wokuopsezani. Ndidzachotsa nyama zakuthengo zoopsa mʼdziko mwanu, ndipo mʼdzikomo simudzakhala nkhondo.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land.

7 Mudzapirikitsa adani anu, ndipo mudzawagonjetsa ndi lupanga pamaso panu.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 Anthu asanu mwa inu adzapirikitsa anthu 100, ndipo anthu 100 mwa inu adzathamangitsa anthu 10,000, ndipo adani anuwo mudzawagonjetsa ndi lupanga.

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 “‘Ndidzakukumbukirani ndi kukupatsani ana ambiri ndi kukuchulukitsani. Ndidzasunga pangano langa ndi inu.

And I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

10 Mudzakhala mukudyabe chakudya chogonera ndipo mudzachotse chakudyacho mʼnkhokwe kuti mupezemo malo woyika chakudya china chatsopano.

And ye shall eat old storage long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new.

11 Ndidzakhala pakati panu, ndipo sindidzayipidwa nanu.

And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you.

12 Ine ndidzayendayenda pakati panu ndipo ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu. Inu mudzakhala anthu anga.

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

13 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto kuti musakhalenso akapolo a Aigupto. Ndinadula mipiringidzo ya goli lanu ndi kukuthandizani kuti muziyenda momasuka.

I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 “‘Koma mukadzapanda kundimvera ndi kuphwanya malamulo anga onsewa,

But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments,

15 ndipo ngati mudzanyoza malangizo anga ndi kunyansidwa ndi malamulo anga, ndi kulephera kumvera zonse zimene ndakulamulani, ndi kuswa pangano langa,

and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,

16 Ine ndidzakuchitirani izi: ndidzabweretsa zoopsa zadzidzidzi monga chifuwa chachikulu chowondetsa ndiponso malungo amene adzawononga maso ndi kufowoketsa moyo wanu. Mudzangovutika kudzala mbewu zanu chifukwa adani anu adzazidya.

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 Ndidzakufulatirani, kotero kuti adani anu adzakugonjetsani. Odana nanu adzakulamulirani ndipo inu muzidzagothawa popanda wokupirikitsani.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ye shall flee when no man pursues you.

18 “‘Ngati simudzandimvera mutaona zonsezi, ndidzakulanganinso mochulukitsa kasanu ndi kawiri chifukwa cha kuchimwa kwanu.

And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

19 Ndidzathyola mphamvu zanu zimene mukunyadirazo, ndipo ndidzasandutsa mitambo kuti ikhale yowuma ngati chitsulo, ndiponso nthaka yanu kuti ikhale ngati mkuwa.

And I will break the pride of your power. And I will make your sky as iron, and your earth as brass,

20 Mphamvu zanu zidzapita pachabe chifukwa nthaka yanu sidzabala kanthu, ngakhale mitengo yake sidzabala zipatso zake.

and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 “‘Ngati mudzapitirira kutsutsana nane ndi kukana kundimvera, ndidzachulukitsa masautso anu kasanu ndi kawiri molingana ndi machimo anu.

And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 Ndidzabweretsa zirombo zolusa pakati panu, ndipo zidzakulandani ana anu ndi kuwononga ngʼombe zanu. Choncho zidzachepetsa chiwerengero chanu kotero kuti mʼnjira mwanu simudzapita anthu.

And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your sons, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your ways shall become desolate.

23 “‘Mukadzapanda kutembenukira kwa Ine ngakhale nditakulangani motere, ndi kumachitabe zotsutsana ndi Ine,

And if by these things ye will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me,

24 Ine mwini ndidzalimbana nanu, ndipo ndidzakulangani mochulukitsa kasanu ndi kawiri chifukwa cha machimo anu.

then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

25 Ndipo ndidzabweretsa lupanga pa inu ndi kukulangani chifukwa chophwanya pangano langa. Mukadzasonkhana mʼmizinda yanu, ndidzatumiza miliri pakati panu ndipo ndidzakuperekani mʼmanja mwa adani anu.

And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together within your cities. And I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 Ndikadzachepetsa buledi wanu, akazi khumi adzaphika buledi wawo mu uvuni umodzi, ndipo adzakugawirani bulediyo pangʼonopangʼono. Choncho mudzadya koma wosakhuta.

When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 “‘Mukadzapanda kundimvera ngakhale nditakulangani motere, ndi kumatsutsanabe ndi Ine,

And if for all this ye will not hearken to me, but walk contrary to me,

28 pamenepo ndidzalimbana nanu mwaukali, ndipo Ine mwini ndidzakulangani mochulukitsa kasanu ndi kawiri chifukwa cha kuchimwa kwanu.

then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 Mudzadya ana anu aamuna ndiponso mudzadya ana anu aakazi.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters ye shall eat.

30 Ine ndidzawononga malo anu opembedzera mafano a ku mapiri. Ndidzagwetsa maguwa anu ofukizira lubani, ndipo ndidzawunjika pamodzi mitembo ya mafano anu wopanda moyowo, ndipo ndidzanyansidwa nanu.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 Ndidzasandutsa mizinda yanu kukhala mabwinja ndi kuwononga malo anu wopatulika. Sindidzakondweranso ndi fungo lokoma la zopereka zanu.

And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

32 Ndidzawononga dziko kotero kuti adani anu mʼmenemo adzadabwa.

And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33 Ndidzakubalalitsani pakati pa mitundu ina ya anthu ndipo ndidzasolola lupanga langa ndi kukupirikitsani. Dziko lanu lidzawonongedwa, ndipo mizinda yanu idzasanduka mabwinja.

And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 Nthawi imeneyo nthaka idzasangalalira kuyipumitsa kwake nthawi yonse imene idzakhala yosalimidwa, pamene inu mudzakhala muli mʼdziko la adani anu. Pa nthawi imeneyo dziko lidzapumula ndi kukondwerera kulipumuza kwake.

Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land, even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 Nthawi zonse pamene dzikolo lidzakhala lopanda anthu, nthaka idzapumula. Mpumulo umenewu udzakhala umene nthakayo sinapumulepo pa nthawi zimene inu munkapumula muli mʼdzikomo.

As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

36 “‘Kunena za amene adzatsale, ndidzayika mantha mʼmitima mwawo mʼdziko la adani awo kotero kuti adzathawa ngakhale mtswatswa wa tsamba lowuluka ndi mphepo. Adzathawa ngati akuthawa lupanga, ndipo adzagwa pansi ngakhale padzakhale wopanda kuwapirikitsa.

And as for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as a man flees from the sword, and they shall fall when no man pursues.

37 Iwo adzaphunthwitsana ngati akuthawa nkhondo, ngakhale padzakhale popanda wowapirikitsa. Choncho simudzatha kuyima pamaso pa adani anu.

And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when no man pursues. And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 Mudzatheratu pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Dziko la adani anu lidzakudyani.

And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 Ngakhale iwo amene adzatsale adzatheratu mʼdziko la adani awo chifukwa cha machimo awo ndi machimo a makolo awo.

And those who are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.

40 “‘Tsono adzawulula machimo awo ndi machimo a makolo awo, kusakhulupirika kwawo ndi mayendedwe awo otsutsana nane,

And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,

41 zomwe zinandipangitsa kuwafulatira ndi kuwapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo. Ndipo mitima yawo yowumayo ikadzadzichepetsa ndi kuvomera kulangidwa chifukwa cha machimo awo,

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity,

42 Ine ndidzakumbukira pangano langa ndi Yakobo, pangano langa ndi Isake, pangano langa ndi Abrahamu. Ndidzakumbukiranso dzikolo.

then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.

43 Pakuti adzasiya dziko lawo lopanda anthu, nthaka idzakondwerera zaka zake zoyipumuza pamene iwo kudzakhala kulibe. Koma adzalangidwa chifukwa cha machimo awo popeza anakana malamulo anga ndipo mitima yawo inkayipidwa nawo malangizo anga.

The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. And they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Komabe ngakhale adzachite zonsezi ali mʼdziko la adani awo, Ine sindidzawakana kapena kuyipidwa nawo kwakuti nʼkuwawononga kwathunthu ndi kuthetsa pangano langa ndi iwo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo.

And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah their God,

45 Koma powachitira chifundo, ndidzakumbukira pangano langa ndi makolo awo amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto mitundu ina ikuona kuti Ine ndikhale Mulungu wawo. Ine ndine Yehova.’”

but for their sakes I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Jehovah.

46 Amenewa ndi malamulo ndi malangizo amene Yehova anawayika pakati pa Iye mwini ndi Aisraeli pa Phiri la Sinai kudzera mwa Mose.

These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Jehovah made between him and the sons of Israel at mount Sinai by Moses.
