< Deuteronomy 28 >
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shall hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth,
Ngati mumvera Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kutsatira mosamalitsa malamulo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakukwezani pamwamba pa mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi.
2 and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:
Madalitso awa adzabwera kwa inu ndi kuyenda nanu ngati mumvera Yehova Mulungu wanu:
3 Blessed shall thou be in the city, and blessed shall thou be in the field.
Mudzadalitsika mʼmizinda yanu ndi kudalitsika mʼdzikolo.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
Yehova adzadalitsa ana anu, zokolola za mʼdziko lanu, ngʼombe zanu pamodzi ndi ziweto zanu zonse.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Dengu lanu ndi chiwaya chanu cha buledi zidzadalitsika.
6 Blessed shall thou be when thou come in, and blessed shall thou be when thou go out.
Mudzadalitsika pa kulowa kwanu ndi pa kutuluka kwanu.
7 Jehovah will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee. They shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways.
Yehova adzaonetsetsa kuti adani anu amene adzakuwukirani agonjetsedwe pamaso panu. Iwo adzabwera kwa inu kuchokera mbali imodzi koma adzakuthawani ku mbali zisanu ndi ziwiri.
8 Jehovah will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou put thy hand to. And he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
Yehova adzatumiza madalitso pa nkhokwe zanu ndi pa chilichonse chimene muchikhudza. Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani mʼdziko limene akukupatsani.
9 Jehovah will establish thee for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to thee, if thou shall keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.
Yehova Mulungu wanu adzachititsa kuti mukhale anthu ake opatulika, monga momwe analonjezera pa malumbiro ake, ngati musunga malamulo ake ndi kuyenda mʼnjira zake.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of thee.
Pamenepo anthu onse a dziko lapansi adzaona kuti mumadziwika ndi dzina la Yehova ndipo adzakuopani.
11 And Jehovah will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to thy fathers to give thee.
Yehova adzakupambanitsani kwambiri ndipo adzakupatsani ana ambiri, ziweto zambiri, ndi zokolola zochuluka, mʼdziko limene Yehova analumbira kwa makolo anu kuti adzakupatsani.
12 Jehovah will open to thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand. And thou shall lend to many nations, and thou shall not borrow.
Yehova adzatsekula kumwamba kumene amasungirako chuma chake, kutumiza mvula mʼdziko lanu pa nthawi yake ndi kudalitsa ntchito yonse ya manja anu. Mudzakongoza mitundu yambiri koma inu simudzakongola kwa aliyense.
13 And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail. And thou shall only be above, and thou shall not be beneath, if thou shall hearken to the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do,
Yehova adzakuthandizani kukhala mutu osati mchira. Mukakhala ndi chidwi ndi malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndikukupatsani lero lino ndi kuwatsata mosamalitsa, inu mudzakhala apamwamba nthawi zonse osati apansi.
14 and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Musapatukire ku dzanja lamanja kapena lamanzere pa lamulo lina lililonse limene ndikukupatsani lero lino ndi kumatsatira kapena kuyitumikira milungu ina.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Koma ngati simumvera Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kusatsata mosamalitsa malamulo ake ndi malangizo ake onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino, matemberero awa adzabwera pa inu ndikukugonjetsani:
16 Cursed shall thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field.
Mudzatembereredwa mu mzinda ndi kutembereredwa mʼmudzi.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Dengu lanu ndi chiwaya chanu cha buledi zidzatembereredwa.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
Zipatso za mʼmimba mwanu zidzatembereredwa, ndiponso zomera za mʼdziko lanu, ana angʼombe zanu ndi ana ankhosa zanu zidzatembereredwa.
19 Cursed shall thou be when thou come in, and cursed shall thou be when thou go out.
Mudzatembereredwa pa kulowa kwanu ndi pa kutuluka kwanu.
20 Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou put thy hand to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly, because of the evil of thy doings, by which thou have forsaken me.
Yehova adzakutumizirani matemberero, chisokonezo ndi minyozo pa chilichonse chimene mudzachichita mpaka mudzawonongedwa ndi kukhala bwinja mofulumira chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene mwazichita pa kumutaya Yehova.
21 Jehovah will make the pestilence cling to thee, until he has consumed thee from off the land, where thou go in to possess it.
Yehova adzakugwetserani mliri wa matenda mpaka atakuwonongani mʼdziko limene mukulowa kukalitengali.
22 Jehovah will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
Yehova adzakukanthani ndi nthenda yowondetsa, ya malungo ndi ya zotupatupa, ndi kutentha kwakukulu ndi chilala, ndi chinsikwi ndi chiwawu zimene zidzakusautsani mpaka mutawonongeka.
23 And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
Mitambo ya pamutu panu idzawuma ngati mkuwa ndipo sidzagwetsa mvula mpaka nthaka yanu idzawuma gwaa ngati chitsulo.
24 Jehovah will make the rain of thy land powder and dust. From the sky it shall come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Mʼmalo mwa mvula Yehova adzakupatsani fumbi ndi dothi ndipo lidzakugwerani kuchokera kumwamba mpaka mutawonongeka.
25 Jehovah will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies. Thou shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And thou shall be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Yehova adzalola kuti adani anu akugonjetseni. Mudzadzera njira imodzi pokalimbana ndi adani anu koma pothawa mudzabalalika mbali zisanu ndi ziwiri. Mudzakhala chinthu chochititsa mantha pakati pa maufumu onse a dziko lapansi.
26 And thy dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none to frighten them away.
Mitembo yanu idzadyedwa ndi mbalame zamumlengalenga ndi nyama zakutchire, ndipo palibe amene adzaziyingitse.
27 Jehovah will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which thou cannot be healed.
Yehova adzakusautsani ndi zithupsa za ku Igupto ndi zotupatupa, zipere, ndi mphere zimene simudzachiritsika nazo.
28 Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with confusion of mind,
Yehova adzakusautsani inu ndi misala, khungu ndi chisokonekero cha maganizo.
29 and thou shall grope at noonday, as the blind man gropes in darkness. And thou shall not prosper in thy ways. And thou shall only be oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save thee.
Masanasana mudzayenda ngati muli mu mdima, kumafufuzira njira ngati wosaona. Mudzakhala olephera pa chilichonse mungachite. Tsiku ndi tsiku mudzaponderezedwa ndi kuberedwa wopanda wokupulumutsani.
30 Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it.
Mudzachita chinkhoswe ndi mkazi, koma wina adzakulandani ndi kumukwatira. Mudzamanga nyumba koma simudzagonamo. Mudzalima munda wamphesa koma simudzadyako zipatso zake.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee. Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies, and thou shall have none to save thee.
Ngʼombe yanu yamtheno idzaphedwa inu muli pomwepo koma simudzadyako. Bulu wanu adzalandidwa kwa inu mwamakani osabwera nayenso. Nkhosa zanu zidzapatsidwa kwa adani anu, ndipo palibe amene adzazipulumutsa.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people. And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand.
Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi adzaperekedwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina ndipo inu mudzafika potopa ndi kulefuka nʼkudikirira tsiku ndi tsiku kuti mwina anawo abwerako.
33 The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always,
Anthu amene simukuwadziwa adzakudyerani zokolola zanu, ndipo mudzakhala mukuponderezedwa mwankhanza masiku onse.
34 so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.
Zimene muzidzaziona zidzakusokonezani mitu.
35 Jehovah will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which thou cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head.
Yehova adzakusautsani ndi zithupsa zaululu ndi zosachiritsika za mʼmawondo ndi mʼmiyendo ndipo zidzafalikira kuchoka kuphazi mpaka kumutu.
36 Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shall set over thee, to a nation that thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers. And there thou shall serve other gods, wood and stone.
Yehova adzakuthamangitsirani, inu ndi mafumu anu amene muwayika, ku dziko losadziwika kwa inu ndi kwa makolo anu. Kumeneko mudzakapembedza milungu ina, milungu ya mitengo ndi miyala.
37 And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead thee away.
Inu mudzakhala chinthu chochititsa mantha kuchisunga ndiponso chinthu chotukwanidwa ndi chonyozeka kwa anthu a mitundu yonse kumene Yehova adzakuthamangitsirani.
38 Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall consume it.
Mudzadzala mbewu zambiri ku munda koma mudzakolola pangʼono, chifukwa dzombe lidzaziwononga.
39 Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall eat them.
Mudzadzala mpesa ndi kulimirira koma vinyo wake simudzamumwa kapena kukolola mphesazo, chifukwa mphutsi zidzadya mphesazo.
40 Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off.
Mudzakhala ndi mitengo ya olivi mʼdziko lanu lonse koma simudzagwiritsa ntchito mafuta ake, chifukwa zipatso zake zidzayoyoka.
41 Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity.
Mudzabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi koma sadzakhala anu, chifukwa adzapita ku ukapolo.
42 All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
Magulumagulu a dzombe adzawononga mitengo yanu ndi mbewu za mʼdziko lanu.
43 The sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher, and thou shall come down lower and lower.
Mlendo wokhala pakati panu adzatukuka kuposa inu, koma inuyo mudzaloweralowera pansi.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him. He shall be the head, and thou shall be the tail.
Iye adzakubwereketsani, koma inu simudzatha kubwereketsa. Iye adzakhala mutu ndipo inu mudzakhala mchira.
45 And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee,
Matemberero onsewa adzabwera pa inu. Adzakulondolani ndi kukugonjetsani mpaka mutawonongeka, chifukwa simunamvere Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kusunga malamulo ndi malangizo amene anakupatsani.
46 and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed forever.
Matemberero amenewa adzakhala chizindikiro ndi chozizwitsa kwa inu ndi zidzukulu zanu mpaka kalekale.
47 Because thou served not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things,
Pakuti inu simunatumikire Yehova Mulungu wanu pa nthawi imene zinthu zinkakuyenderani bwino,
48 therefore thou shall serve thine enemies that Jehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he has destroyed thee.
chomwecho pa nthawi ya njala ndi ludzu, ya maliseche ndi umphawi woopsa, mudzatumikira adani amene Yehova adzakutumizirani. Iye adzayika goli lachitsulo mʼkhosi mwanu kufikira atakuwonongani.
49 Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand,
Yehova adzakutumizirani mtundu wa anthu kuchokera kutali kumapeto kwa dziko lapansi nudzachita ngati mphungu yowulukira pansi, mtundu wa anthu umene chiyankhulo chawo simudzachimva,
50 a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,
mtundu wooneka wochititsa mantha, wopanda ulemu kwa okalamba kapena chisoni kwa ana.
51 and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish.
Iwo adzagwira ana a ziweto zanu, natenga zokolola za mʼdziko lanu kufikira mutawonongeka. Iwo sadzakusiyirani tirigu, vinyo watsopano kapena mafuta a olivi, kapena mwana wangʼombe aliyense kapena mwana wankhosa mpaka mutasanduka bwinja.
52 And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land. And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Jehovah thy God has given thee.
Iwo adzathira nkhondo mizinda yonse mʼdziko lanu lonse mpaka malinga anu ataliatali omwe mumadalira aja atagwa. Adzathira nkhondo mizinda yonse ya mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani.
53 And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Jehovah thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee.
Chifukwa cha zosautsa zimene mdani wanu adzabweretsa pa nthawi yokuthirani nkhondo, inu mudzadya ana anu, mnofu wa ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi amene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani.
54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his sons whom he has remaining,
Ngakhale munthu woleza mtima ndi wachifundo kwambiri pakati panu sadzakhala ndi chifundo pa mʼbale wake weniweni kapena mkazi wake amene iye amamukonda kapena ana ake otsalawo,
55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates.
ndipo sadzagawirako aliyense wa iwo mnofu wa ana ake amene akudyawo. Kadzakhala kali komweko basi kamene kamutsalira chifukwa cha msautso umene mdani wanu adzagwetsa pa nthawi yothira nkhondo mizinda yanu yonse.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
Mayi woleza mtima ndi wachifundo kwambiri pakati panu, uja woti sangayerekeze kuponda pansi, adzabisira mwamuna wake amene amamukonda ndi ana ake omwe aamuna ndi aakazi
57 and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear, for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
zotsalira za uchembere zochoka mʼmimba mwake ndi ana amene wabereka. Pakuti adzafuna kuti adye zimenezi yekha mobisa pa nthawi yothiridwa nkhondo chifukwa cha masautso amene mdani wanu adzagwetsa pa inu mʼmizinda yanu.
58 If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD,
Ngati simutsata mosamalitsa mawu onse a malamulo awa amene alembedwa mʼbuku lino, komanso ngati simuopa dzina la ulemerero ndi loopsa, dzina la Yehova Mulungu wanu,
59 then Jehovah will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance.
Yehova adzatumiza pa inu ndi zidzukulu zanu miliri yoopsa, zosautsa zowawa ndi zokhalitsa, ndi matenda aakulu ndi ovuta kuchiritsika.
60 And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee.
Adzakubweretserani matenda onse a ku Igupto aja mumawaopawa ndipo adzakukanirirani.
61 Also every sickness, and every calamity, which is not written in the book of this law, them Jehovah will bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Yehova adzakubweretseraninso mtundu uliwonse wa matenda ndi zosautsa zimene sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la malamulo lino, mpaka mutawonongeka.
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou did not hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God.
Inu aja munali ochuluka ngati nyenyezi zakumwamba mudzatsala ochepa chabe chifukwa simunamvere Yehova Mulungu wanu.
63 And it shall come to pass, that, as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you. And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it.
Monga kunamukomera Yehova kukulemeretsani ndi kukuchulukitsani, momwemonso kudzamukondweretsa kukunthani ndi kukuwonongani. Inu mudzazulidwa kukuchotsani mʼdziko limene mukulowa kukalitengali.
64 And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone.
Kenaka Yehova adzakubalalitsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu yonse, kuchokera ku mapeto a dziko kufika ku mapeto ena. Kumeneko mudzapembedza milungu ina, milungu ya mitengo ndi ya miyala, imene inu eni kapena makolo anu sanayidziwepo.
65 And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but Jehovah will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul.
Pakati pa mitundu ya anthu imeneyi simudzapeza mpata, popanda malo woti nʼkuyikapo phazi. Kumeneko Yehova adzakupatsani moyo wa nkhawa, maso otopa ndi chiyembekezo, ndi mtima wosakhazikika.
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life.
Inu mudzakhala osakhazikika mopitirira, odzazidwa ndi mantha usiku ndi usana womwe, osowa chitsimikizo cha pa moyo wanu.
67 In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.
Mmawa muzidzati, “Chikhala anali madzulo!” ndipo madzulo mudzati, “Chikhala unali mmawa!” Mudzanena zimenezi chifukwa cha mantha amene adzakhale mu mtima mwanu ndi chifukwa cha zomwe muzidzaziona.
68 And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again. And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
Yehova adzakubwezani ku Igupto pa sitima zapamadzi paulendo umene Ine ndinati musawuyendenso. Kumeneko mudzadzitsatsa nokha kwa adani anu monga akapolo aamuna ndi aakazi, koma palibe amene adzakuguleni.
