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 yourselves no idols, neither rear you up for yourselves carved image, or statue, nor shall ye set up a figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am Jehovah your God.
2 “‘Muzisunga Masabata anga ndipo muzilemekeza malo anga wopatulika. Ine ndine Yehova.
Ye shall observe my sabbaths, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.
3 “‘Mukamayenda motsata malangizo anga ndi kumvera mosamalitsa malamulo anga,
If ye walk in my statutes, and observe 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 rain in the season thereof, and the land shall yield its produce, 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 unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely.
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 put away the evil beasts out of the land; and the sword shall not 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 put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall beside you by the sword.
9 “‘Ndidzakukumbukirani ndi kukupatsani ana ambiri ndi kukuchulukitsani. Ndidzasunga pangano langa ndi inu.
And I will turn my face towards you and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and 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 store, and clear away the old because of the new.
11 Ndidzakhala pakati panu, ndipo sindidzayipidwa nanu.
And I will set my habitation 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 to me a 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 bands of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
14 “‘Koma mukadzapanda kundimvera ndi kuphwanya malamulo anga onsewa,
But if ye hearken not unto me, and do not 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 despise my statutes, and if your soul shall abhor mine ordinances, so that ye do not all my commandments, that ye 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 unto you — I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste 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, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18 “‘Ngati simudzandimvera mutaona zonsezi, ndidzakulanganinso mochulukitsa kasanu ndi kawiri chifukwa cha kuchimwa kwanu.
And if for this ye hearken not unto me, I will punish you sevenfold 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 arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze,
20 Mphamvu zanu zidzapita pachabe chifukwa nthaka yanu sidzabala kanthu, ngakhale mitengo yake sidzabala zipatso zake.
and your strength shall be spent in vain, and your land shall not yield its produce; and the trees of the land shall not 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 unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring sevenfold 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 beasts of the field among you, that they may rob you of your children, and cut off your cattle, and make you few in number; and your streets shall be desolate.
23 “‘Mukadzapanda kutembenukira kwa Ine ngakhale nditakulangani motere, ndi kumachitabe zotsutsana ndi Ine,
And if ye will not be disciplined by me through these, but walk contrary unto me,
24 Ine mwini ndidzalimbana nanu, ndipo ndidzakulangani mochulukitsa kasanu ndi kawiri chifukwa cha machimo anu.
then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will smite you, even I, sevenfold 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 avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into 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 the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the 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 this ye hearken not to me, but walk contrary unto me,
28 pamenepo ndidzalimbana nanu mwaukali, ndipo Ine mwini ndidzakulangani mochulukitsa kasanu ndi kawiri chifukwa cha kuchimwa kwanu.
then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven-fold 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 shall ye 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 lay waste your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcases upon the carcases 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 lay waste your cities and desolate your sanctuaries; and I will not smell your sweet odours.
32 Ndidzawononga dziko kotero kuti adani anu mʼmenemo adzadabwa.
And I will bring the land into desolation; that your enemies who dwell there in may 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 will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be desolation, and your cities 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 shall the land enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, when ye are in your enemies' land; 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.
All the days of the desolation it shall rest, [the days in] which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.
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 to those that remain of you — I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth;
37 Iwo adzaphunthwitsana ngati akuthawa nkhondo, ngakhale padzakhale popanda wowapirikitsa. Choncho simudzatha kuyima pamaso pa adani anu.
and they shall stumble one over another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth; 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 they that remain of you shall waste away through their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste 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, through their unfaithfulness wherein they were unfaithful to me, and also that they have walked contrary unto me,
41 zomwe zinandipangitsa kuwafulatira ndi kuwapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo. Ndipo mitima yawo yowumayo ikadzadzichepetsa ndi kuvomera kulangidwa chifukwa cha machimo awo,
so that I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,
42 Ine ndidzakumbukira pangano langa ndi Yakobo, pangano langa ndi Isake, pangano langa ndi Abrahamu. Ndidzakumbukiranso dzikolo.
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.
For the land shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, when it is in desolation without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, 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 despise them, and will not abhor them, to make an end of them utterly, 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 I will remember toward them the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes 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 children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
