Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
Kumapeto kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zilizonse, muzikhululukirana ngongole.
2 This is the manner of remission: Every creditor shall cancel what he has loaned to his neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his neighbor or brother, because the LORD’s time of release has been proclaimed.
Zimenezi muzichita motere: wobwereketsa aliyense adzakhululukira ngongole imene anabwereketsa kwa Mwisraeli mnzake. Iye asadzafunenso kuti Mwisraeli mnzakeyo kapena mʼbale wake amubwezere chifukwa nthawi ya Ambuye yokhululukirana ngongole yalengezedwa.
3 You may collect something from a foreigner, but you must forgive whatever your brother owes you.
Mukhoza kulonjerera ngongole kwa mlendo, koma mukhululukire ngongole ina iliyonse imene mʼbale wanu ali nayo.
4 There will be no poor among you, however, because the LORD will surely bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance,
Komabe pasadzakhale wosauka pakati panu chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani kwambiri mʼdziko limene adzakupatsani kuti likhale lanu ngati cholowa chanu.
5 if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you today.
Adzakudalitsani pokhapokha ngati mudzamveradi Yehova Mulungu wanu posunga ndi kutsatira malamulo onse amene ndikukupatsani lero.
6 When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised, you will lend to many nations but borrow from none; you will rule over many nations but be ruled by none.
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani monga analonjeza, ndipo inu mudzabwereketsa chuma kwa mitundu yambiri ya anthu koma inu simudzabwereka kwa aliyense. Mudzalamulira mitundu yambiri ya anthu koma inuyo palibe amene adzakulamulireni.
7 If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.
Ngati pali mʼbale wanu wina wosauka mu mzinda wanu wina uliwonse mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani, musawumitse mitima yanu kapena kuchita kaligwiritsa kwa mʼbale wanu wosaukayo.
8 Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.
Koma mukhale ofewa manja ndipo mumukongoze mʼbale wanu momasuka pa chilichonse chimene akufuna.
9 Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought in your heart: “The seventh year, the year of release, is near,” so that you look upon your poor brother begrudgingly and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
Musayesere ndi pangʼono pomwe kusunga maganizo oyipa awa mu mtima mwanu: “Chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri, chaka chokhululukirana ngongole, chayandikira,” kuti musaonetse mtima woyipa kwa mʼbale wanu wosauka nʼkusamupatsa chilichonse. Iye angadzakunenereni inu mlandu kwa Ambuye, ndipo mudzapezeka wochimwa.
10 Give generously to him, and do not let your heart be grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.
Mumupatse iye mowolowamanja ndipo muchite zimenezi mosasungira kanthu kumtima. Tsono chifukwa cha zimenezi, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani pa ntchito zanu zonse ndi pa chilichonse chimene mukhudza.
11 For there will never cease to be poor in the land; that is why I am commanding you to open wide your hand to your brother and to the poor and needy in your land.
Anthu osauka sadzatha mʼdziko lanu. Chomwecho ndikukulamulani kuti mukhale ofewa manja kwa abale anu ndi kwa osauka, osowa mʼdziko mwanu.
12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.
Ngati mʼbale wanu wamwamuna kapena wamkazi adzigulitsa yekha kwa inu, nakugwirirani ntchito zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi, muzimumasula mʼchaka cha chisanu ndi chiwiri.
13 And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.
Ndipo pamene mumumasula, musangomulola apite chimanjamanja.
14 You are to furnish him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor, and your winepress. You shall give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you.
Mumupatse mowolowamanja zochokera pa ziweto zanu, kopunthira tirigu ndi kopsinyira vinyo. Inu mumupatse iye monga Yehova Mulungu wanu wakudalitsirani.
15 Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; that is why I am giving you this command today.
Kumbukirani kuti munali akapolo mʼdziko la Igupto ndipo Yehova Mulungu wanu anakupulumutsani. Nʼchifukwa chake ndikukupatsani lamulo ili lero lino.
16 But if your servant says to you, ‘I do not want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your household and is well off with you,
Koma ngati kapoloyo akuwuzani kuti, “Ine sindikufuna kumasulidwa,” chifukwa choti wakukondani inuyo pamodzi ndi banja lanu ndiponso kuti kwamukomera iyeyo kuti azikhalabe nanu,
17 then take an awl and pierce it through his ear into the door, and he will become your servant for life. And treat your maidservant the same way.
pamenepo muzitenga chobowolera chachitsulo ndi kubowola khutu lake pa chitseko, ndipo mukatero adzakhala kapolo wanu moyo wake wonse. Mdzakazi wanu muzimuchitanso chimodzimodzi.
18 Do not regard it as a hardship to set your servant free, because his six years of service were worth twice the wages of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in all you do.
Musaone ngati chopweteka kumasula wantchito wanu, chifukwa ntchito imene wayigwira pa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi zimenezi ndi yopindula kawiri pa ntchito imene akanagwira waganyu chabe. Ndipo Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakudalitsani pa chilichonse chimene mukuchita.
19 You must set apart to the LORD your God every firstborn male produced by your herds and flocks. You are not to put the firstborn of your oxen to work, nor are you to shear the firstborn of your flock.
Mumupatulire Yehova Mulungu wanu choyamba kubadwa chachimuna chilichonse pa ngʼombe ndi nkhosa zanu. Musamazigwiritse ntchito ngʼombe zoyamba kubadwa kapena kumeta nkhosa zoyamba kubadwa.
20 Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.
Inuyo ndi banja lanu, chaka chilichonse muzizidya zimenezi pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pa malo amene Iye adzasankhe.
21 But if an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
Ngati chiweto chili ndi chilema monga kulumala kapena chosaona, kapena ngati chili ndi cholakwika chachikulu chilichonse, musachipereke nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
22 Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.
Muzichidya mʼmizinda yanuyanu. Onse odetsedwa monga mwa mwambo ndi oyeretsedwa omwe akhoza kuchidya monga akudya gwape kapena mbawala.
23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Koma musadye magazi ake. Muwathire pansi ngati madzi.
