Numeri 10
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Sula malipenga awiri a siliva, ndipo uziwagwiritsa ntchito posonkhanitsa anthu pamodzi ndiponso powasamutsa mʼmisasa.
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 Pamene akuliza malipenga onse awiri, anthu onse asonkhane kwa iwe pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 Akaliza limodzi lokha, atsogoleri, akulu a mafuko a Aisraeli, asonkhane kwa iwe.
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble themselves to thee.
5 Akaliza lipenga lochenjeza, misasa yomwe ili kummawa iyambe kusamuka.
When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 Akaliza lipenga lochenjeza lachiwiri, misasa yakummwera iyambe kusamuka. Kuliza kwa lipenga lochenjeza kudzakhala chizindikiro choyamba ulendo.
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 Pofuna kusonkhanitsa anthu, muziliza malipenga, koma mosiyana ndi mmene malipenga ochenjeza amalizidwira.
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye 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 they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout 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 if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall 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.”
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 Hobabu anayankha kuti, “Ayi, sindipita nanu, ndibwerera ku dziko la kwathu ndi kwa abale anga.”
And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.

And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of 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 what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to thee.

And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.
