Numeri 10
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
2 “Sula malipenga awiri a siliva, ndipo uziwagwiritsa ntchito posonkhanitsa anthu pamodzi ndiponso powasamutsa mʼmisasa.
Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work, shalt thou make them, —and they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.
3 Pamene akuliza malipenga onse awiri, anthu onse asonkhane kwa iwe pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
As soon as they blow therewith, so soon shall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4 Akaliza limodzi lokha, atsogoleri, akulu a mafuko a Aisraeli, asonkhane kwa iwe.
And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.
5 Akaliza lipenga lochenjeza, misasa yomwe ili kummawa iyambe kusamuka.
But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;
6 Akaliza lipenga lochenjeza lachiwiri, misasa yakummwera iyambe kusamuka. Kuliza kwa lipenga lochenjeza kudzakhala chizindikiro choyamba ulendo.
and when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, —an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward,
7 Pofuna kusonkhanitsa anthu, muziliza malipenga, koma mosiyana ndi mmene malipenga ochenjeza amalizidwira.
But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but shall not sound an alarm.
8 “Ana a Aaroni, ansembe aja, ndiwo aziliza malipengawo. Zimenezi zikhale zokhazikika kwa inu ndi ku mibado yanu yonse.
And, the sons of Aaron the priests, shall blow with the trumpets, —and it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto your generations.
9 Pamene mukupita ku nkhondo mʼdziko lanu lomwe, kulimbana ndi mdani amene akukuzunzani, muziliza malipenga ochenjeza ndipo Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakukumbukirani ndi kukulanditsani mʼmanja mwa adani anu.
And when ye go into war in your land against the assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, —and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from your enemies,
10 Komanso pa nthawi yanu ya chisangalalo, pa maphwando anu oyikika ndi maphwando a mwezi watsopano, muziliza malipenga pa nsembe zanu zopsereza ndi nsembe zanu za chiyanjano, ndipo zidzakhala chikumbutso chanu pamaso pa Mulungu. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.”
And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, —so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I—Yahweh, am your God.
11 Pa chaka chachiwiri, mwezi wachiwiri, tsiku la 20, mtambo unachoka pamwamba pa chihema cha umboni.
And so it came to pass in the second year, in the second month on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony;
12 Ndipo Aisraeli ananyamuka kuchoka mʼchipululu cha Sinai ndipo anayenda malo osiyanasiyana mpaka pamene mtambo unayima mʼchipululu cha Parani.
and the sons of Israel set forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.
13 Kameneka kanali koyamba kuti Aisraeli anyamuke monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
Thus then did they set forward for the first time, —at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
14 Magulu a msasa wa Yuda ndiwo anayamba kunyamuka potsata mbendera yawo. Mtsogoleri wa gulu lawo anali Naasoni mwana wa Aminadabu.
So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab;
15 Mtsogoleri wa gulu la fuko la Isakara anali Netanieli mwana wa Zuwara,
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar;
16 Eliabu mwana wa Heloni ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa fuko la Zebuloni.
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon.
17 Kenaka anagwetsa chihema, ndipo Ageresoni ndi Amerari amene ananyamula chihemacho, ananyamuka.
Then was taken down the habitation, —and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the habitation.
18 Kenaka magulu a msasa wa fuko la Rubeni ananyamuka potsatira mbendera yawo. Mtsogoleri wawo anali Elizuri mwana wa Sedeuri.
Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur;
19 Mtsogoleri wa fuko la Simeoni anali Selumieli mwana wa Zurisadai,
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai;
20 ndipo Eliyasafu mwana wa Deuweli ndiye ankatsogolera fuko la Gadi.
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.
21 Kenaka Akohati ananyamuka atanyamula zinthu zopatulika. Chihema chinkayenera kuyimikidwa iwo asanafike.
Then set forward the Kohathites, bearing the sanctuary, —and so the habitation was reared by the time they came in.
22 Magulu a msasa wa Aefereimu anatsatira potsatira mbendera yawo. Elisama mwana wa Amihudi ndiye anali mtsogoleri wawo.
Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim by their hosts, —and over his own host, was Elishama son of Ammihud;
23 Gamalieli mwana wa Pedazuri ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa fuko la Manase.
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;
24 Abidani mwana wa Gideoni ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa mtundu wa Benjamini.
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, son of Gideoni.
25 Pambuyo pa magulu onse panali magulu a msasa wa Dani, omwe ankateteza magulu onsewa ndipo ananyamuka potsatira mbendera yawo. Mtsogoleri wawo anali Ahiyezeri mwana wa Amisadai.
Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, bringing up the rear of all the camps, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Ahiezur, son of Ammishaddai;
26 Pagieli mwana wa Okirani ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa fuko la Aseri,
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, son of Ochran;
27 ndipo mtsogoleri wa mtundu wa Nafutali anali Ahira mwana wa Enani.
and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan.
28 Umenewu ndiwo unali mndandanda wa kayendedwe ka magulu a Aisraeli pamene ankanyamuka ulendo wawo mʼmagulumagulu.
These, were the settings-forward of the sons of Israel by their hosts, —thus did they set forward.
29 Ndipo Mose anawuza Hobabu mwana wa Reueli Mmidiyani, mpongozi wa Mose kuti, “Tikunyamuka kupita ku malo amene Yehova anati, ‘Ndidzakupatsani.’ Tiye upite nafe ndipo tidzakusamalira bwino, pakuti Yehova analonjeza zinthu zabwino kwa Israeli.”
Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses: Setting forward, are we unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you, —Oh come with us and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, hath spoken good, concerning Israel.
30 Hobabu anayankha kuti, “Ayi, sindipita nanu, ndibwerera ku dziko la kwathu ndi kwa abale anga.”
And he said unto him, I will not go, —but unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.
31 Ndipo Mose anati, “Pepa usatisiye popeza ukudziwa kumene tingamange misasa mʼchipululu muno ndipo udzakhala maso athu.
Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us, —for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us as eyes;
32 Iweyo ukapita nafe, tidzagawana nawe zinthu zabwino zomwe Yehova adzatipatsa.”
and it shall be if thou wilt go with us, —yea it shall be that with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.
33 Motero ananyamuka ku Phiri la Yehova nayenda ulendo wa masiku atatu. Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova linkayenda patsogolo pawo pa masiku atatuwo kuti apeze malo woti apumulepo.
So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days, —and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting-place,
34 Mtambo wa Yehova unkawaphimba masana pamene ankasamuka pa misasa yawo.
And the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day, —when they set forward out of the camp.
35 Nthawi iliyonse imene Bokosi la Chipangano likunyamuka, Mose ankanena kuti, “Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Adani anu abalalike; Odana nanu athawe pamaso panu.
And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;
36 “Pamene likupumula, ankanena kuti, “Bwererani, Inu Yehova, ku chinamtindi cha Aisraeli.”
But when it rested, he said, —Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
