Levitiko 9
1 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu Mose anayitana Aaroni, ana ake ndi akuluakulu a Aisraeli.
Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron:
2 Ndipo anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Tenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti akhale nsembe yako yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza. Zonsezi zikhale zopanda chilema ndipo uzipereke pamaso pa Yehova.
“Take a calf for sin from the herd, and a ram as a holocaust, both immaculate, and offer them in the sight of the Lord.
3 Kenaka uwawuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Tengani mbuzi yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo. Mutengenso mwana wangʼombe ndi mwana wankhosa. Zonsezi zikhale za chaka chimodzi ndi zopanda chilema kuti zikhale nsembe yopsereza.
And to the sons of Israel, you shall say: ‘Take a he-goat for sin, and a calf as well as a lamb, both one-year-old and without blemish, as a holocaust.
4 Mutengenso ngʼombe yayimuna ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti zikhale nsembe yachiyanjano zoti ziperekedwe pamaso pa Yehova. Pamodzi ndi izi mubwerenso ndi nsembe yachakudya yosakaniza ndi mafuta pakuti lero Yehova akuonekerani.’”
Take also an ox and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering with the sacrifice of each one fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.’”
5 Anthu anatenga zonse zimene Mose analamula nabwera nazo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Gululo linasendera pafupi ndi kuyima pamaso pa Yehova.
And so they brought everything that Moses had ordered before the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood together,
6 Tsono Mose anati, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova walamula kuti muchite kuti ulemerero wa Yehova ukuonekereni.”
Moses said: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed. Accomplish it, and his glory will appear to you.”
7 Pambuyo pake Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Sendera pafupi ndi guwa ndipo upereka nsembe yako yopepesera machimo ndi nsembe yako yopsereza ndikuchita mwambo wopepesera machimo ako ndi machimo a anthu. Anthuwa apereke nsembe zawo zopepesera machimo monga momwe Yehova walamulira.”
And he said to Aaron: “Approach toward the altar, and immolate on behalf of your sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for yourself and for the people. And when you have slain the victim for the people, pray for them, just as the Lord has instructed.”
8 Choncho Aaroni anasendera pafupi ndi guwa, napha mwana wangʼombe uja kukhala nsembe yake yopepesera machimo.
And immediately Aaron, approaching toward the altar, immolated the calf for his sin.
9 Ana a Aaroni anabwera ndi magazi kwa Aaroni ndipo iye anaviyika chala chake mʼmagaziwo, nawapaka pa nyanga za guwa. Magazi wotsalawo anawathira pa tsinde la guwalo.
And his sons brought its blood to him, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar, and he poured out the remainder at its base.
10 Kenaka anatentha paguwapo, mafuta, impsyo pamodzi ndi mafuta amene amakuta chiwindi ngati nsembe yopepesera machimoyo, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the mesh of the liver, which are for sin, he burned upon the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
11 Koma nyama ndi chikopa anazitenthera kunja kwa msasa.
Yet truly, the flesh and its skins he burned with fire beyond the camp.
12 Kenaka anapha nsembe yopsereza. Ana a Aaroni atabwera ndi magazi kwa iye, Aaroniyo anawawaza mbali zonse za guwa.
He also immolated the victim of holocaust. And his sons brought its blood to him, which he poured out all around the altar.
13 Ana akewo anamupatsa nyama yoduladula ya nsembe yopsereza ija pamodzi ndi mutu ndipo anazitentha pa guwa.
And when the victim itself was cut into pieces, they brought him the head and each of the limbs, all of which he burned with fire upon the altar,
14 Aaroni anatsuka matumbo ndi miyendo nazitentha pa guwa pamodzi ndi nsembe yopsereza ija.
having first washed the intestines and the feet with water.
15 Kenaka Aaroni anapereka zopereka za anthuwo. Anatenga mbuzi yopepesera machimo a anthuwo, yopereka chifukwa cha tchimo, nayipha ndi kuyipereka kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo monga anachitira ndi nsembe yoyamba ija.
And making an offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat. And expiating the altar,
16 Anabwera ndi nsembe yopsereza, nayipereka potsata mwambo wake.
he accomplished the holocaust,
17 Anabweranso ndi chopereka cha chakudya. Anatapa ufa dzanja limodzi ndi kutentha pa guwa, kuwonjezera pa nsembe yopsereza ya mmawa ija.
adding to it the sacrifice of the libations, which are to be offered together, and burning them upon the altar, separately from the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.
18 Tsono Aaroni anapha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa yayimuna monga nsembe yachiyanjano ya anthu. Ana ake anamupatsira magazi ndipo anawawaza mbali zonse za guwa.
He also immolated the ox, as well as the ram, as peace offerings for the people. And his sons brought him the blood, which he poured out upon the altar all around.
19 Anamupatsiranso mafuta a ngʼombeyo ndi nkhosa yayimunayo: mchira wamafuta, mafuta wokuta matumbo, impsyo ndi mafuta wokuta chiwindi.
Then the fat of the ox, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the mesh of the liver,
20 Ana a Aaroni anayika mafutawo pa zidale. Pambuyo pake Aaroni anatentha mafutawo pa guwa lansembe.
they placed upon the breasts. And when the fat had been burned upon the altar,
21 Koma zidale ndi ntchafu ya kumanja Aaroni anaziweyula ngati chopereka choweyula pamaso pa Yehova.
Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed.
22 Kenaka Aaroni anakweza manja ake pa anthuwo nawadalitsa. Ndipo atatha kupereka nsembe yopepesera machimo, nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe yachiyanjano, anatsika pa guwapo.
And extending his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so, the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being completed, he descended.
23 Ndipo Mose pamodzi ndi Aaroni analowa mu tenti ya msonkhano. Atatulukamo anadalitsa anthuwo ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera kwa anthu onse.
Then Moses and Aaron entered the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came out and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire multitude.
24 Pomwepo moto unatuluka pamaso pa Yehova niwutentha nsembe zopsereza ndi mafuta zimene zinali pa guwa. Anthu onse ataona zimenezi anafuwula mwachimwemwe ndipo anaweramitsa nkhope zawo pansi.
And, behold, a fire from the Lord devoured the holocaust, and the fat which was on the altar. When the crowd had seen this, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
