Numeri 6
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati mwamuna kapena mkazi afuna kuchita lonjezo lapadera, lonjezo lodzipatula yekha kwa Yehova ngati Mnaziri,
Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;
3 sayenera kumwa vinyo kapena zakumwa zosasa ndipo asamamwe chakumwa chilichonse cha mphesa. Asamamwe madzi a mphesa kapena kudya mphesa zaziwisi kapena zowuma.
He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.
4 Pa nthawi yonse imene ali Mnaziri, asamadye chilichonse chopangidwa kuchokera ku mphesa ngakhale mbewu zake kapena makungu ake.’
All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.
5 “‘Pa nthawi yonse ya lonjezo lodzipatula yekhalo, asamete kumutu kwake ndi lumo. Akhale wopatulika mpaka nthawi yake yonse ya kudzipatula yekha kwa Yehova itatha. Alileke tsitsi la pamutu pake kuti likule.’
All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.
6 Pa nthawi yonse imene munthuyo wadzipatula yekha kwa Yehova asayandikire mtembo.
All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.
7 Ngakhale abambo ake kapena amayi ake kapena mchimwene wake kaya mchemwali wake atamwalira, asadzidetse pokhudza mitembo yawo chifukwa kulumbira kwake kwa kudzipatula yekha kwa Yehova kuli pamutu pake.
He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.
8 Munthuyo ndi wopatulika masiku onse odzipereka kwake kwa Yehova.
All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.
9 “Ngati munthu wina afa mwadzidzidzi pafupi naye ndi kudetsa tsitsi lake loperekedwalo, amete mutu wake pa tsiku lodziyeretsa, tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri.
If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.
10 Tsono pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu abweretse nkhunda ziwiri kapena mawunda awiri anjiwa kwa wansembe pa khomo lolowera ku tenti ya msonkhano.
And on the eighth day let him take to the priest, at the door of the Tent of meeting, two doves or two young pigeons;
11 Wansembe apereke imodzi kuti ikhale nsembe yauchimo ndi ina nsembe yopsereza yotetezera tchimo chifukwa anachimwa popezeka pafupi ndi mtembo. Ndipo tsiku lomwelo apatulenso tsitsi la pamutu pake.
And the priest will give one for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to take away the sin which came on him on account of the dead, and he will make his head holy that same day.
12 Adzipereke kwa Yehova pa nthawi yodzipatula ndipo abweretse nkhosa yayimuna ya chaka chimodzi ngati nsembe yopepesera. Masiku akale sawerengedwanso chifukwa anadzidetsa pa nthawi yodzipatulira kwake.
And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.
13 “Tsono ili ndi lamulo la Mnaziri pamene nthawi yodzipatula kwake yatha: Abwere naye pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
And this is the law for him who is separate, when the necessary days are ended: he is to come to the door of the Tent of meeting,
14 Pamenepo apereke chopereka chake kwa Yehova: Nkhosa yayimuna ya chaka chimodzi yopanda chilema kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza, mwana wankhosa wamkazi mmodzi wopanda chilema kuti ikhale nsembe yauchimo, ndi nkhosa imodzi yayikulu yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yachiyanjano,
And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,
15 ndipo abwere pamodzi ndi nsembe yachakudya ndi nsembe yachakumwa ndi dengu la buledi wopanda yisiti, makeke opangidwa ndi ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta, ndi timitanda ta buledi topakidwa mafuta.
And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.
16 “Wansembe apereke zimenezi pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuchita nsembe ya uchimo ndi nsembe yopsereza.
And the priest will take them before the Lord, and make his sin-offering and his burned offering;
17 Apereke dengu la buledi wopanda yisiti ndiponso nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova ya nkhosa yayimuna, pamodzi ndi chopereka cha chakudya ndi chopereka cha chakumwa.
Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.
18 “Mnaziriyo amete tsitsi limene analipereka lija pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Atenge tsitsilo ndi kuliyika pa moto umene uli pansi pa nsembe yachiyanjano.
Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.
19 “Mnaziriyo atatha kumeta tsitsi analiperekalo, wansembe ayike mʼmanja mwake mwendo wa mmwamba wankhosa yayimuna umene waphikidwa ndipo atengenso keke ndi kamtanda ka buledi, zonse zopanda yisiti zomwe zili mʼdengu lija.
And the priest will take the cooked leg of the sheep and one unleavened cake and one thin cake out of the basket, and put them on the hands of the separate one after his hair has been cut,
20 Wansembe aziweyule pamaso pa Yehova ngati nsembe yoweyula. Zimenezi ndi zopatulika ndipo ndi za wansembe pamodzi ndi chidale chimene anachiweyula ndi ntchafu yomwe anayipereka ija. Zitatha izi, Mnaziri akhoza kumwa vinyo.
Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take wine.
21 “Ili ndi lamulo la Mnaziri yemwe walonjeza kudzipereka kwa Yehova podzipatula yekha kuphatikiza pa zomwe angathe kukwaniritsa. Ayenera kukwaniritsa lonjezo lomwe wachitalo potsata lamulo la Mnaziri.”
This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.
22 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
23 “Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna kuti, ‘Umu ndi mmene muzidalitsira Aisraeli. Muzinena kuti,
Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,
24 “‘Yehova akudalitse ndi kukusunga;
May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you:
25 Yehova awalitse nkhope yake pa iwe, nakuchitira chisomo;
May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:
26 Yehova akweze nkhope yake pa iwe, nakupatse mtendere.’”
May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.
27 Choncho akadzatchula dzina langa podalitsa Aisraeli, Ine ndidzawadalitsadi.
So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.
