Numeri 19
1 Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni:
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
2 “Lamulo limene Yehova wapereka ndi ili: Uzani Aisraeli kuti abweretse ngʼombe yayikazi yofiira yopanda chilema chilichonse imenenso sinakhalepo pa goli.
Lesi yisimiso somlayo iNkosi esimisileyo isithi: Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli ukuthi balethe kini ithokazi elibomvu elipheleleyo okungelasici kulo, okungazange kufakwe ijogwe kulo;
3 Muyipereke kwa Eliezara, wansembe ndipo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa. Iphedwe iye ali pomwepo.
njalo lilinike uEleyazare umpristi, alikhuphele-ke ngaphandle kwenkamba, libe selihlatshwa phambi kwakhe.
4 Ndipo Eliezara wansembe atengeko ena mwa magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi chala chake ndi kuwaza kasanu nʼkawiri ku tsogolo kwa tenti ya msonkhano.
Njalo uEleyazare uzathatha okwegazi lalo ngomunwe wakhe, afafaze kasikhombisa okwegazi lalo maqondana laphambi kwethente lenhlangano.
5 Wansembeyo akuona, ngʼombeyo ayiwotche chikopa chake, mnofu wake, magazi ake ndi zamʼkati zake.
Lethokazi litshiswe phambi kwamehlo akhe; kutshiswe isikhumba salo lenyama yalo legazi lalo kanye lomswane walo.
6 Wansembe atenge mtengo wamkungudza, hisope ndi kansalu kofiira ndipo aponye zimenezo pakati pa moto umene akuwotchera ngʼombeyo.
Umpristi uzathatha-ke isigodo somsedari, lehisope, lokubomvu, akuphose phakathi kokutsha kwethokazi.
7 Zitatha izi, wansembeyo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndiponso asambe ndi madzi. Iye angathe kupita ku msasa, komabe adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
Umpristi usezahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze umzimba wakhe emanzini, emva kwalokho angene enkambeni, njalo umpristi abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
8 Munthu amene amawotcha ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
Lolitshisileyo uzahlamba izembatho zakhe emanzini, ageze umzimba wakhe emanzini, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
9 “Munthu amene ndi woyeretsedwa achotse phulusa la ngʼombeyo ndi kuliyika pa malo woyeretsedwa kunja kwa msasa. Aisraeli adzasunge phulusalo kuti azikaligwiritsa ntchito polithira mʼmadzi woyeretsera ndi wochotsera tchimo.
Lendoda ehlambulukileyo izabutha umlotha wethokazi, iwubeke ngaphandle kwenkamba endaweni ehlambulukileyo, ukuze ugcinelwe inhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kube ngamanzi okwehlukanisa; kuyikuhlanjululwa kwesono.
10 Munthu wochotsa phulusa la ngʼombeyo ayeneranso kuchapa zovala zake. Iyenso adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Ili likhale lamulo la nthawi zonse kwa Aisraeli ndi alendo okhala pakati pawo.
Lobutha umlotha wethokazi uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe; njalo kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli lowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo.
11 “Aliyense wokhudza mtembo wa munthu wina aliyense adzakhala wodetsedwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
Othinta isidumbu saloba nguwuphi umuntu uzakuba ngongcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
12 Adziyeretse yekha ndi madzi pa tsiku lachitatu ndi pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndipo adzayeretsedwa. Koma ngati sadziyeretsa yekha pa tsiku la chitatu ndi lachisanu ndi chiwiri sadzakhala woyeretsedwa.
Uzazihlambulula ngawo ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa uzahlambuluka; kodwa uba engazihlambululi ngosuku lwesithathu, khona ngosuku lwesikhombisa kayikuhlambuluka.
13 Aliyense amene akhudza mtembo wa munthu nʼkulephera kudziyeretsa yekha, ndiye kuti wadetsa Nyumba ya Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa Aisraeli. Iye ndi wodetsedwa chifukwa sanamuwaze madzi oyeretsa; kudetsedwa kwake kukhalabe pa iyeyo.
Loba ngubani othinta ofileyo, isidumbu somuntu osefile, angazihlambululi, ungcolisa ithabhanekele leNkosi; lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke koIsrayeli, ngoba amanzi okwehlukanisa engafafazwanga phezu kwakhe; uzakuba ngongcolileyo, lokungcola kwakhe kusekuye.
14 “Pamene munthu wamwalira mu tenti, lamulo lomwe ligwire ntchito ndi ili: Aliyense wolowa mu tentimo ndi amene anali momwemo adzakhala odetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri,
Lo ngumlayo womuntu nxa efela ethenteni. Konke okungena ethenteni lakho konke okusethenteni kuzakuba ngokungcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
15 ndiponso chiwiya chilichonse chopanda chivundikiro chidzakhala chodetsedwa.
Njalo yonke imbiza evulekileyo engelasisibekelo esibotshelwe phezulu kwayo ingcolile.
16 “Aliyense wokhudza munthu amene waphedwera kunja ndi lupanga kapena amene wafa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe, kapena aliyense wokhudza fupa la munthu kapena manda, munthu ameneyo adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
Laye wonke othinta umuntu obuleweyo ngenkemba, endle, loba ofileyo, loba ithambo lomuntu, loba ingcwaba, uzakuba ngongcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
17 “Za munthu wodetsedwayo: ikani phulusa lochokera ku nsembe ya chiyeretso mu mtsuko ndi kuthiramo madzi abwino.
Ngongcolileyo bazathatha okomlotha walokho okwatshiswayo kokuhlanjululwa kwesono, njalo kuzafakwa phezu kwakho amanzi aphilayo esitsheni.
18 Tsono munthu woyeretsedwa atenge hisope, amuviyike mʼmadzi ndi kuwaza tentiyo ndi zipangizo zonse, pamodzi ndi anthu anali mʼmenemo. Ayenera kuwazanso aliyense wakhudza fupa kapena, munthu wochita kuphedwa, kapena amene wafa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe kapenanso amene wakhudza manda.
Lendoda ehlambulukileyo izathatha ihisope, iyigxamuze emanzini, ifafaze phezu kwethente, laphezu kwempahla yonke, laphezu kwabantu ababelapho, laphezu kowathinta ithambo, loba obuleweyo, loba ofileyo, loba ingcwaba.
19 Munthu woyeretsedwa ndiye awaze munthu wodetsedwayo pa tsiku lachitatu ndi pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri amuyeretse. Munthu amene akuyeretsedwayo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndi kusamba ndi madzi, ndipo madzulo ake adzakhala woyeretsedwa.
Lohlambulukileyo uzafafaza ongcolileyo ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa, njalo uzamhlambulula ngosuku lwesikhombisa; awatshe izembatho zakhe, ageze emanzini, ahlambuluke kusihlwa.
20 Koma ngati munthu wodetsedwayo sadziyeretsa yekha, ndiye kuti ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa gulu chifukwa anadetsa malo wopatulika a Yehova, popeza sanawazidwe madzi oyeretsa ndiye kuti ndi wodetsedwa.
Kodwa indoda engcolileyo, ingazihlambululi, lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke phakathi kwebandla, ngoba engcolise indlu engcwele yeNkosi; amanzi okwehlukanisa kawafafazwanga phezu kwakhe, ungcolile.
21 Ili ndi lamulo lokhazikika kwa iwo. “Munthu amene amawaza madzi oyeretsawo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake ndipo yense wokhudza madzi oyeretserawo adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
Njalo kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade kubo, ukuthi lowo ofafaza amanzi okwehlukanisa uzahlamba izembatho zakhe; lalowo othinta amanzi okwehlukanisa uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
22 Chilichonse chimene munthu wodetsedwayo achikhudze chidzakhala chodetsedwa ndiponso aliyense wochikhudza adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.”
Njalo konke akuthintayo ongcolileyo kuzakuba ngokungcolileyo; lomuntu okuthintayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
