Levitiko 4

1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose kuti,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Munthu akachimwa mosadziwa ndi kuchita chilichonse chimene Yehova walamula kuti asachite, azichita izi:

Say to the sons of Israel: The soul which will have sinned through ignorance, and concerning any of the commandments of the Lord that he instructed not to be done, if anything at all has been done:

3 “‘Ngati wansembe wodzozedwa achimwa, ndi kuchimwitsa anthu onse, iyeyu ayenera kupereka mwana wangʼombe wamphongo wopanda chilema chifukwa cha tchimo limene wachitalo. Imeneyi ndi nsembe ya Yehova yopepesera tchimo lake.

if the priest, who is anointed, will have sinned, causing the people to commit a transgression, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin an immaculate calf.

4 Wansembeyo abwere nayo ngʼombeyo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano pamaso pa Yehova. Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa ngʼombeyo ndipo ayiphe pamaso pa Yehova.

And he shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord. And he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it to the Lord.

5 Kenaka wansembe wodzozedwa atengeko magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi kulowa nawo mu tenti ya msonkhano.

Likewise, he shall take from the blood of the calf, carrying it into the tabernacle of the testimony,

6 Iye aviyike chala chake mʼmagazi, ndipo awawaze kasanu ndi kawiri pamaso pa Yehova, patsogolo pa katani yotchinga malo wopatulika.

and having dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times in the sight of the Lord, opposite the veil of the Sanctuary.

7 Kenaka wansembe apake magaziwo pa nyanga za guwa lofukizira lubani limene lili pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano. Magazi ena otsalawo awathire pa tsinde pa guwa lansembe zopsereza, limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.

And he shall place some of the same blood over the horns of the altar of most pleasing incense to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. Then he shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar of holocaust at the entrance of the tabernacle.

8 Pambuyo pake achotse mafuta onse a ngʼombe yayimuna yopepesera machimoyo: mafuta okuta zamʼkati kapena mafuta onse amʼkatimo.

And, on behalf of the sin, he shall take the fat of the calf, both that which covers the vital organs and all that is interior,

9 Achotsenso ndi kubwera ndi impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta onse ndiponso mafuta onse amene aphimba chiwindi ndi impsyo

the two little kidneys, and the mesh that is on them near the sides, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys,

10 monga momwe amachotsera mafuta a ngʼombe yoperekedwa kuti ikhale chopereka chachiyanjano. Tsono wansembe atenthe zimenezi pa guwa lansembe zopsereza.

just as it is taken from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.

11 Koma chikopa cha ngʼombe yayimunayo ndi mnofu wake wonse, pamodzi ndi mutu ndi miyendo, zamʼkati ndi matumbo,

Yet truly, the skin and all the flesh, with the head and the feet, and the intestines and the dung,

12 kapena kuti ngʼombe yonse yotsalayo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa ku malo woyeretsedwa, kumene amatayako phulusa ndi kuyitentha pa nkhuni, pa phulusapo.

and the remainder of the body, he shall carry away, beyond the camp, to the clean place where the ashes are usually poured out. And he shall burn them upon a stack of wood. There, in the place where the ashes have been poured out, they will be burned.

13 “‘Ngati gulu lonse la Aisraeli lichimwa mosadziwa, nachita chomwe ndi choletsedwa ndi Yehova, ngakhale kuti gulu lonselo silikudziwa kuti lachimwa, anthuwo ndi olakwa ndithu.

But if all the crowd of Israel will have been ignorant, and through inexperience will have done what is contrary to the commandment of the Lord,

14 Akazindikira tchimo limene achita, gulu lonse lipereke mwana wangʼombe wamphongo kuti akhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo ndipo abwere naye pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.

and afterwards shall understand their sin: they shall offer a calf on behalf of their sin, and they shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle.

15 Akuluakulu a anthuwo asanjike manja awo pa mutu pa ngʼombe pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ayiphe pomwepo pamaso pa Yehova.

And the elders of the people shall place their hands upon its head in the sight of the Lord. And when the calf has been immolated in the sight of the Lord,

16 Tsono wansembe wodzozedwa atengeko magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi kulowa nawo mu tenti ya msonkhano.

the priest who is anointed shall carry some of its blood into the tabernacle of the testimony.

17 Aviyike chala chake mʼmagaziwo ndi kuwawaza pamaso pa Yehova kasanu ndi kawiri patsogolo pa nsalu yotchinga.

and he shall dip his finger in it, sprinkling it seven times opposite the veil.

18 Pambuyo pake iye apake magaziwo pa nyanga za guwa limene lili pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano. Magazi ena otsalawo awathire pa tsinde pa guwa lansembe zopsereza limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.

And he shall place some of the same blood on the horns of the altar, which is in the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. But the remainder of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

19 Kenaka achotse mafuta onse a ngʼombeyo ndi kuwatentha pa guwa,

And he shall take all its fat and burn it upon the altar,

20 ndipo achite ndi ngʼombe yayimunayi monga anachitira ndi ngʼombe yayimuna yopepesera machimo. Potero, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera anthu, ndipo machimo awo adzakhululukidwa.

doing so with this calf in the same manner as he did before. And while the priest is praying for them, the Lord will forgive them.

21 Kenaka atulutse ngʼombeyo kunja kwa msasa ndi kuyitentha monga anatenthera ngʼombe yoyamba ija. Imeneyi ndiyo nsembe yopepesera machimo a gulu lonse.

But the calf itself he shall carry away, beyond the camp, and he shall also burn it, just as with the previous calf, because it is for the sin of the multitude.

22 “‘Ngati mtsogoleri achimwa mosadziwa nachita zimene ndi zoletsedwa ndi Yehova Mulungu wake, ndiye kuti wapalamula.

If a leader will have sinned, and through ignorance will have done one of the many things which the law of the Lord prohibits,

23 Ndipo ngati wauzidwa za tchimo limene wachita, iye abwere ndi mbuzi yayimuna yopanda chilema kuti ikhale chopereka chake.

and afterwards he shall understand his sin: he shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the goats, as a sacrifice to the Lord.

24 Asanjike dzanja lake pa mutu wa mbuziyo ndi kuyiphera pamalo pamene amaphera zopereka zopsereza pamaso pa Yehova. Ichi ndi chopereka chopepesera tchimo.

And he shall place his hand upon its head. And when he will have immolated it, in the place where the holocaust is usually slain, in the sight of the Lord, because it is for sin,

25 Pambuyo pake wansembe atengeko magazi a chopereka chopepesera tchimocho ndi chala chake, ndipo awapake pa nyanga za guwa lansembe zopsereza. Athire magazi otsalawo pa tsinde la guwalo.

the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the remainder at its base.

26 Wansembeyo atenthe mafuta onse pa guwapo monga amatenthera chopereka chachiyanjano. Pochita zimenezi, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo la munthuyo, ndipo adzakhululukidwa.

Yet truly, the fat he shall burn upon it, just as is usually done with the victims of peace offerings. And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.

27 “‘Ngati munthu wamba achimwa mosadziwa nachita zimene ndi zoletsedwa ndi Yehova, ndiye kuti wapalamula.

But if a soul from the people of the land will have sinned through ignorance, so as to have done any of those things that the law of the Lord prohibits, and so commit a transgression,

28 Ndipo ngati wauzidwa za tchimo limene wachita, abweretse mbuzi yayikazi yopanda chilema kuti ikhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo.

and he shall realize his sin: he shall offer an immaculate she-goat.

29 Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa mbuziyo ndipo ayiphe pamalo pamene amaphera chopereka chopsereza.

And he shall place his hand upon the head of the victim which is for sin. And he shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust.

30 Ndipo wansembe atenge magazi ndi chala chake ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga za guwa lansembe zopsereza ndi kuthira magazi wotsalawo pa tsinde la guwalo.

And the priest shall take some of the blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

31 Kenaka iye achotse mafuta onse monga momwe anachotsera mafuta a chopereka chachiyanjano, ndipo awatenthe pa guwa kuti akhale fungo lokomera Yehova. Potero, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo la munthuyo ndipo adzakhululukidwa.

But taking away all the fat, just as it is usually taken away from the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord. And he shall pray for him, and he shall be released from it.

32 “‘Ngati munthu apereka mwana wankhosa ngati chopereka chopepesera tchimo lake, abwere ndi mwana wankhosa wamkazi wopanda chilema.

But if instead he will offer from the flock a victim for his sin, specifically, an immaculate female sheep:

33 Asanjike dzanja lake pa mutu wa mwana wankhosayo ndipo amuphe pamalo pamene amaphera chopereka chopsereza.

he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are usually slain.

34 Kenaka wansembe atengeko ndi chala chake magazi a mwana wankhosa uja ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga za guwa lansembe zopsereza. Magazi otsalawo athire pa tsinde la guwalo.

And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

35 Iye achotse mafuta onse, monga amachotsera mafuta a mwana wankhosa wa chopereka chachiyanjano, ndipo wansembe awatenthe pa guwa pamodzi ndi zopereka zina zopsereza za Yehova. Potero, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo limene munthuyo anachita ndipo adzakhululukidwa.

Likewise, all of the fat shall be taken away, just as the fat of the ram, which is immolated for peace offerings, is usually taken away. And he shall burn it upon the altar as an incense of the Lord. And he shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.
